Higher-Order Topology in Monolayer FeSe

Gan Zhao, Haimen Mu, Huimin Zhang, Z. F. Wang

摘要:

二维二阶拓扑绝缘体(2D SOTI)中的拓扑角态一般等价于畴壁态,畴壁态起源于相移为π的两个相邻边之间的质量反转。在这项工作中,超越了传统的物理图像,我们报告了一个分数质量扭结诱导的二维SOTI单层FeSe倾斜棋盘反铁磁(AFM)秩序的解析模型和第一性原理计算。倾斜自旋相关的面内塞曼场可以间隙出FeSe的量子自旋霍尔边缘态,在矩形拐角处形成相移为pi/2的分数质量扭结,并产生分数电荷为e/4的间隙内拓扑拐角态。此外,拓扑角状态是鲁棒的本地扰动,存在于自然和非自然裂开的角落,无论边缘方向。我们的结果不仅展示了一个材料系统,以实现独特的二维原子力显微镜SOTI,但也铺平了一条新的途径,设计高阶拓扑状态的分数质量扭结与任意相移,这是预计将立即引起实验的关注。

英文摘要:

Generally, the topological corner state in two-dimensional second-order topological insulator (2D SOTI) is equivalent to the well-known domain wall state, originated from the mass-inversion between two adjacent edges with phase shift of pi. In this work, go beyond this conventional physical picture, we report a fractional mass-kink induced 2D SOTI in monolayer FeSe with canted checkerboard antiferromagnetic (AFM) order by analytic model and first-principles calculations. The canted spin associated in-plane Zeeman field can gap out the quantum spin Hall edge state of FeSe, forming a fractional mass-kink with phase shift of pi/2 at the rectangular corner, and generating an in-gap topological corner state with fractional charge of e/4. Moreover, the topological corner state is robust to local perturbation, existing in both naturally and non-naturally cleaved corners, regardless of the edge orientation. Our results not only demonstrate a material system to realize the unique 2D AFM SOTI, but also pave a new way to design the higher-order topological states from fractional mass-kink with arbitrary phase shift, which are expected to draw immediate experimental attention.
