磁性拓扑Dirac半金属的节线和边界模

Nodal lines and boundary modes in topological Dirac semimetals with magnetism

Yasufumi Araki, Jin Watanabe, Kentaro Nomura

摘要:

具有磁序的节线半金属在理论上已经被预测,并且仅在少数化合物中被实验观察到。通过在拓扑狄拉克半金属(TDSM)中引入磁性,我们从理论上研究了这种磁性线态的体相和边界电子结构。TDSM,例如$\mathrm{Cd_3 As_2}$和$\mathrm{Na_3 Bi}$,其特征在于由晶体的旋转对称性保护的一对自旋简并狄拉克点。通过在TDSM的晶格模型中引入与电子自旋耦合的局域磁矩,我们证明了TDSM既可以转变为Weyl半金属,也可以转变为非线性半金属,这取决于交换耦合中的轨道依赖性和由磁矩形成的磁化方向.在这种磁性半金属态中,我们发现了边界处具有鼓面状能带结构的零模,其特征在于拓扑数为$\mathbb{Z}$。通过在晶格模型中引入磁畴壁,数值模拟了这些零模。

英文摘要:

Nodal-line semimetals with magnetic orders have been theoretically predicted and experimentally observed in only few compounds. We theoretically explore the electronic structure in bulk and boundary of such a magnetic nodal-line state by introducing magnetism in topological Dirac semimetal (TDSM). TDSMs, such as $\mathrm{Cd_3 As_2}$ and $\mathrm{Na_3 Bi}$, are characterized by a pair of spin-degenerate Dirac points protected by rotational symmetries of crystals. By introducing local magnetic moments coupled to the electron spins in the lattice model of TDSM, we show that the TDSM can turn into either a Weyl semimetal or a nodal-line semimetal, which is determined by the orbital dependence in the exchange coupling and the direction of magnetization formed by the magnetic moments. In this magnetic nodal-line semimetal state, we find zero modes with drumhead-like band structure at the boundary that are characterized by the topological number of $\mathbb{Z}$. Those zero modes are numerically demonstrated by introducing magnetic domain walls in the lattice model.
