混合价绝缘体中的马约拉纳

Majoranas in mixed-valence insulators

C. M. Varma

摘要:

金属中混合价杂质的物理模型必须满足弗里德尔屏蔽定理。这样的模型示出,在较早的工作,其中表现出低能量奇点,是超对称的,导致一个自由的马约拉纳和相移马约拉纳激发。近似扩展到混合价离子在适当的填充晶格的理论给出了,没有微调的参数,一个受保护的无隙马约拉纳费米子带的化学势,除了混合价粒子和空穴带分开的间隙。在这种情况下,系统在线性响应中是电中性的,但具有de Haas-van Alphen振荡。这是用来解释最近观察到的磁振荡混合价绝缘体,以及伴随着低能量热力学和弛豫率异常。最引人注目的是,在这类化合物中应该存在广泛的基态熵。

英文摘要:

A physical model for a mixed-valence impurity in a metal must satisfy the Friedel screening theorem for both valences. Such a model is shown, following earlier work which showed low energy singularities in it, to be supersymmetric, leading to a free Majorana and a phase-shifted Majorana excitation. The theory extended approximately to a lattice of mixed-valence ions at appropriate filling gives, without fine-tuning the parameters, a protected gapless Majorana fermion band across the chemical potential, besides the mixed-valence particle and hole bands separated by gaps. In this situation the system is electrically neutral in linear response but has de Haas-van Alphen oscillations. This is used to explain the recently observed magneto-oscillations in mixed-valence insulators as well as their accompanying low energy thermodynamic and relaxation rate anomalies. Some predictions to test the validity of the theoretical results are provided, the most striking of which is that there should be extensive ground state entropy in such compounds.
