磁绝缘体中的声子霍尔粘性

Phonon Hall Viscosity in Magnetic Insulators

Mengxing Ye, Lucile Savary, Leon Balents

摘要:

在晶格声子的低能描述中,声子霍尔粘滞度是表示时间反演对称性破缺的主要项。它可以产生声子Berry曲率,并可以通过声学法拉第效应和热霍尔输运在实验上观察到。本文提出了一个系统的方法来获得外磁场作用下磁性绝缘体中由声子-磁振子相互作用引起的声子霍尔粘滞系数。我们得到了导致非零法拉第旋转和霍尔电导率的一般对称性判据,并阐明了晶格对称性、自旋轨道耦合、外磁场和磁有序之间的相互作用。通过微观计算验证了对称性分析。通过构造描述自旋动力学和自旋-晶格耦合的广义霍尔允许的有效作用量,并对自旋涨落进行积分,可以得到声子有效作用量中的首阶时间反演破缺项,即声子霍尔粘滞.本文对四方晶格的铜氧化物莫特绝缘体Sr $_2$ CuO $_2$ Cl $_2$的反铁磁体进行了详细的分析,所述方法可以推广到其它磁性绝缘体。

英文摘要:

The Phonon Hall Viscosity is the leading term evincing time-reversal symmetry breaking in the low energy description of lattice phonons. It may generate phonon Berry curvature, and can be observed experimentally through the acoustic Faraday effect and thermal Hall transport. We present a systematic procedure to obtain the phonon Hall viscosity induced by phonon-magnon interactions in magnetic insulators under an external magnetic field. We obtain a general symmetry criterion that leads to non-zero Faraday rotation and Hall conductivity, and clarify the interplay between lattice symmetry, spin-orbit-coupling, external magnetic field and magnetic ordering. The symmetry analysis is verified through a microscopic calculation. By constructing the general symmetry-allowed effective action that describes the spin dynamics and spin-lattice coupling, and then integrating out the spin fluctuations, the leading order time-reversal breaking term in the phonon effective action, i.e. the phonon Hall viscosity, can be obtained. The analysis of the square lattice antiferromagnet for a cuprate Mott insulator, Sr$_2$CuO$_2$Cl$_2$, is presented explicitly, and the procedure described here can be readily generalized to other magnetic insulators.
