磁高阶节线

Magnetic higher-order nodal lines

Zeying Zhang, Zhi-Ming Yu, Shengyuan A. Yang

摘要:

节线作为动量空间中的一维能带简并,通常具有线性能量分裂。在这里,我们提出了磁高阶节线的概念,它是高阶能量分裂的节线,并实现在时间反演对称性破缺的磁系统中。我们提供了稳定磁二次和三次节线的充分对称条件,在此基础上构造了具体的格点模型来证明它们的存在。与磁二次系统中的对应物不同,磁二次节线可以作为费米能级上唯一的带简并而存在。我们发现,这些节线可以伴随着环面表面状态,形成一个表面带,跨越整个表面布里渊区。在对称性破缺下,这些磁节线可以转化为各种有趣的拓扑态,如三维量子反常霍尔绝缘体、多重线性节线、磁性三重外尔半金属等。三维量子反常霍尔绝缘体的特征在于霍尔电导率$σ_{xy}$,其以$e^2/(hd)$为单位量化,其中$d$是垂直于$x$ - $y$平面的晶格常数。我们的工作揭示了以前未知的拓扑状态,并提供指导,以寻找他们在现实的材料系统。

英文摘要:

Nodal lines, as one-dimensional band degeneracies in momentum space, usually feature a linear energy splitting. Here, we propose the concept of magnetic higher-order nodal lines, which are nodal lines with higher-order energy splitting and realized in magnetic systems with broken time reversal symmetry. We provide sufficient symmetry conditions for stabilizing magnetic quadratic and cubic nodal lines, based on which concrete lattice models are constructed to demonstrate their existence. Unlike its counterpart in nonmagnetic systems, the magnetic quadratic nodal line can exist as the only band degeneracy at the Fermi level. We show that these nodal lines can be accompanied by torus surface states, which form a surface band that span over the whole surface Brillouin zone. Under symmetry breaking, these magnetic nodal lines can be transformed into a variety of interesting topological states, such as three-dimensional quantum anomalous Hall insulator, multiple linear nodal lines, and magnetic triple-Weyl semimetal. The three-dimensional quantum anomalous Hall insulator features a Hall conductivity $σ_{xy}$ quantized in unit of $e^2/(hd)$ where $d$ is the lattice constant normal to the $x$-$y$ plane. Our work reveals previously unknown topological states, and offers guidance to search for them in realistic material systems.
