We derive and analyze the longitudinal and the anomalous Hall conductivity for a general momentum-block-diagonal two-band model. This model captures a broad spectrum of physically very different systems including Néel antiferromagnetic and spiral spin density waves as well as models that involve spin-orbit interaction and are known to show topological properties. We present a complete microscopic derivation for finite temperature and constant scattering rate $Γ$ that is diagonal and equal, but arbitrarily large for both bands. We identify two criteria that allow for a unique and physically motivated decomposition of the conductivities. On the one hand, we distinguish intraband and interband contributions that are defined by the involved quasiparticle spectral functions. On the other hand, we distinguish symmetric and antisymmetric contributions that are defined by the symmetry under the exchange of the current and the electric field directions. The (symmetric) intraband contributions generalize the formula of standard Boltzmann transport theory, which is valid only in the clean limit (small $Γ$), whereas the interband contributions capture interband coherence effects beyond independent quasiparticles. We show that the symmetric interband contribution is a correction only present for finite $Γ$ and is controlled by the quantum metric. The antisymmetric interband contributions generalize the formula of the anomalous Hall conductivity in terms of the Berry curvature to finite $Γ$. We study the clean (small $Γ$) and dirty (large $Γ$) limit analytically. The connection between the presented derivation and the Bastin and Streda formalism is given. We apply our results to a Chern insulator, a ferromagnetic multi-d-orbital, and a spiral spin density wave model.

Thermal Hall conductivity in the frustrated pyrochlore magnet Tb2Ti2O7
在铁磁体中,自旋激发是研究得很好的磁振子。在受抑的量子磁体中,尽管自旋之间有很大的交换耦合,但长程磁序无法发展。与传统磁体中的磁振子相比,人们对它们的自旋激发知之甚少。他们是流动的还是本地的?在这里,我们表明,热霍尔电导率$κ_{xy}$提供了一个强大的探针的“量子自旋冰”烧绿石Tb $_2$ Ti $_2$ O $_7$的自旋激发。即使材料是透明的,热霍尔响应也很大。霍尔响应产生于自旋激发,具有将它们与磁振子区分开的特定特性。在低温($T<$ 1 K)下,热导率模仿脏金属的热导率。使用霍尔角,我们构建了一个相位图,显示了如何通过磁场抑制激励。
