带状节状结构的完全分类

Complete classification of band nodal structures

Feng Tang, Xiangang Wan

摘要:

在布里渊区(Brillouin zone,BZ)中,能带以点、线或面的形式发生简并的节结结构(Nodal structures,NSrs)在过去的十年中受到了广泛的研究兴趣。然而,带隙可忽略的近NSrs也可以具有许多奇异的量子响应和非平凡的拓扑性质,值得系统的研究。在这里,我们提供了一个完整的列表中的所有可对角化的严格和近NSRs的1651磁空间群(MSG)和528磁层组(MLG)在有自旋和无自旋设置。我们首先应用兼容性关系(CR),其编码频带如何从频带节点(BN)(位于BZ的对称点处)分裂,以获得所有NSr(从BN发出)。由CR的NSRs是绝对严格的,并且是基于所有BN的小群的所有不可约表示的穷举枚举的。然后我们围绕BN构造了$k\cdot p$模型,证明了对于任意BN,存在一个截止$k\cdot p$阶(最多6阶),该阶足以预测相应的严格NSRs,并且包含高阶$k\cdot p$项不能间隔NSRs.我们提供了所有$k\cdot p$模型,直到所有BN的截止阶数,并通过降低$k\cdot p$阶数来全面探索所有的近NS。我们的研究结果表明,与BN一样,NSRs,特别是近NSRs,也是普遍存在的。例如,虽然严格节面只能存在于一些非对称的MSG中,但几乎节面甚至可以出现在许多低对称的MSG中。此外,我们还发现,对于某些BN,$k\cdot p$建模方法可以得到更严格的NSRs比CR。通过我们的完整列表,可以方便地获得任何二维/三维和磁性/磁性材料的所有可能的NSr,并且给定目标NSr,还可以基于MSG/MLG设计/搜索材料实现。

英文摘要:

Nodal structures (NSrs) where energy bands meet to be degenerate in the Brillouin zone (BZ) in the form of point, line or surface, received immense research interest in the past decade. However, the nearly NSrs with negligible gaps, can also own many exotic quantum responses and nontrivial topological properties and deserve a systematic investigation. Here, we provide a complete list of all symmetry-diagonalizable strictly and nearly NSrs in the 1651 magnetic space groups (MSGs) and 528 magnetic layer groups (MLGs) in both spinful and spinless settings. We first apply compatibility relations (CRs) which encode how bands split from a band node (BN) (located at a symmetric point of BZ), to obtain all NSrs (emanating from the BN). The NSrs by CRs are definitely strict and are exhaustively enumerated based on all irreducible representations of the little groups for all BNs. We then construct $k\cdot p$ models around BNs and prove that there is a cutoff $k\cdot p$ order (6 at most) for any BN which is sufficient to predict the corresponding strictly NSrs and including higher-order $k\cdot p$ terms cannot gap the NSrs. We provide all $k\cdot p$ models up to the cutoff orders around all the BNs, and comprehensively explore all the nearly NSrs by lowering the $k\cdot p$ order. Our results reveal that the same as BNs, the NSrs, especially the nearly NSrs, are also ubiquitous. For example, while strictly nodal surface can only exist in some nonsymmorphic MSGs, nearly nodal surface can occur even in many low symmetric MSGs. Moreover, we also find that for some BNs, the method of $k\cdot p$ modeling could give more strictly NSrs than CRs. With our complete list, one can conveniently obtain all possible NSrs for any two/three-dimensional and nonmagnetic/magnetic material, and given a target NSr, one can also design/search for materials realizations based on the MSGs/MLGs.
