摘要:

在这项工作中,我们研究了高频泵浦下拓扑薄膜有效模型中的拓扑相变。特别地,我们的结果表明,圆偏振光可以打破时间反演对称性并诱导量子反常霍尔绝缘体(QAHI)相。同时,体磁矩也可以打破时间反演对称性。因此,通过调节光的强度和薄膜的厚度,它显示出丰富的相图。利用实验数据拟合的参数,我们给出了Cr掺杂Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$薄膜的拓扑相图,表明通过在实验可及的范围内调节偏振光场的强度,存在四种不同的相:普通绝缘体相、时间反演对称性破缺的量子自旋霍尔绝缘体相,以及两个具有相反陈数的不同QAHI相。与未掺杂的Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$相比,发现光与体磁矩之间的相互作用将两个具有相反陈数的不同QAHI相分开。结果表明,具有高频泵浦的本征磁性拓扑绝缘体是进一步探索具有自发破缺时间反演对称性的各种拓扑现象的理想平台。

英文摘要:

In this work, we investigate the topological phase transitions in an effective model for a topological thin film with high-frequency pumping. In particular, our results show that the circularly polarized light can break the time-reversal symmetry and induce the quantum anomalous Hall insulator (QAHI) phase. Meanwhile, the bulk magnetic moment can also break the time-reversal symmetry. Therefore, it shows rich phase diagram by tunning the intensity of the light and the thickness of the thin film. Using the parameters fitted by experimental data, we give the topological phase diagram of the Cr-doped Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$ thin film, showing that by modulating the strength of the polarized optical field in an experimentally accessible range, there are four different phases: the normal insulator phase, the time-reversal-symmetry-broken quantum spin Hall insulator phase, and two different QAHI phases with opposite Chern numbers. Comparing with the non-doped Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$, it is found that the interplay between the light and bulk magnetic moment separates the two different QAHI phases with opposite Chern numbers. The results show that an intrinsic magnetic topological insulator with high-frequency pumping is an ideal platform for further exploring various topological phenomena with a spontaneously broken time-reversal symmetry.
