时间反演对称绝缘体的体角对应:消除重复实空间不变量

Bulk-corner correspondence of time-reversal symmetric insulators: deduplicating real-space invariants

Sander H. Kooi, Guido van Miert, Carmine Ortix

摘要:

绝缘体的拓扑结构通常通过无间隙边界模式的存在来揭示:这就是所谓的体边界对应。然而,晶体绝缘体的多体波函数被赋予额外的拓扑性质,不产生表面光谱特征,但表现为(分数)量子化的电子电荷本地化在晶界。在这里,我们制定这样的体积角对应的物理相关的情况下,材料的时间反演对称性和自旋轨道耦合。要做到这一点,我们开发的“部分”的真实空间的不变量,既不能表示在贝里阶段,也不使用基于指针。这些新的晶体不变量管理(分数)量子化的角电荷的隔离材料结构和异质结构没有带隙界面模式。我们还表明,部分实空间不变量是能够检测所有的时间反演对称拓扑相位最近发现的脆弱型。

英文摘要:

The topology of insulators is usually revealed through the presence of gapless boundary modes: this is the so-called bulk-boundary correspondence. However, the many-body wavefunction of a crystalline insulator is endowed with additional topological properties that do not yield surface spectral features, but manifest themselves as (fractional) quantized electronic charges localized at the crystal boundaries. Here, we formulate such bulk-corner correspondence for the physical relevant case of materials with time-reversal symmetry and spin-orbit coupling. To so do we develop "partial" real-space invariants that can be neither expressed in terms of Berry phases nor using symmetry-based indicators. These new crystalline invariants govern the (fractional) quantized corner charges both of isolated material structures and of heterostructures without gapless interface modes. We also show that the partial real-space invariants are able to detect all time-reversal symmetric topological phases of the recently discovered fragile type.
