摘要:

与体狄拉克费米子相关的狄拉克半金属在拓扑电子系统中是众所周知的。与此形成鲜明对比的是,晶体固体中的三维(3D)狄拉克声子仍然不可用。在这里,我们进行对称性参数和第一性原理计算,系统地研究三维狄拉克声子在所有空间群反演对称。结果表明,根据其保护机制和在动量空间中的位置,三维狄拉克声子可分为两类。第一类起源于高对称点的四维不可约表示。第二类由声子分支反转引起,对称性保证狄拉克点位于高对称线上。此外,我们还揭示了非对称对称性以及反演对称性和时间反演对称性的结合在三维狄拉克声子的出现中起着至关重要的作用。我们的工作不仅提供了一个全面的了解三维狄拉克声子,但也提供了重要的指导,探索狄拉克玻色子在声子和光子系统。

英文摘要:

Dirac semimetals associated with bulk Dirac fermions are well-known in topological electronic systems. In sharp contrast, three-dimensional (3D) Dirac phonons in crystalline solids are still unavailable. Here we perform symmetry arguments and first-principles calculations to systematically investigate 3D Dirac phonons in all space groups with inversion symmetry. The results show that there are two categories of 3D Dirac phonons depending on their protection mechanisms and positions in momentum space. The first category originates from the four-dimensional irreducible representations at the high symmetry points. The second category arises from the phonon branch inversion, and the symmetry guarantees Dirac points to be located along the high symmetry lines. Furthermore, we reveal that non-symmorphic symmetries and the combination of inversion and time-reversal symmetries play essential roles in the emergence of 3D Dirac phonons. Our work not only offers a comprehensive understanding of 3D Dirac phonons but also provides significant guidance for exploring Dirac bosons in both phononic and photonic systems.
