摘要:

最近的分类工作,包括晶体对称性揭示了丰富的可能性,固态系统,以支持挂毯的异国情调的拓扑状态。然而,找到实现这种状态的材料仍然是一个艰巨的挑战。在这里,我们展示了如何相互作用的拓扑结构,对称性,磁性结合掺杂和外部电场和磁场控制可以用来驱动以前未报道的SrIn $_2$作为$_2$材料家族到各种拓扑阶段。我们的第一性原理计算和对称性分析表明SrIn $_2$ As $_2$是具有$Z_2=(1;000)$和镜像陈数$C_M= -1$的对偶拓扑绝缘体。它的同构和等价反铁磁表亲EuIn $_2$ As $_2$被发现是与$Z_4= 2$的轴子绝缘体。在Sr $_{1-x}$ Eu $_x$ In $_2$ As $_2$中通过Eu掺杂破坏的时间反转对称性取决于磁易轴的取向导致更高阶或拓扑晶体绝缘体状态。我们还发现反铁磁EuIn $_2$ P $_2$是一个平凡的绝缘体,具有$Z_4= 0$,并且在外加磁场的驱动下,它经历了一个理想的Weyl费米子态或节费米子态与$Z_4= 1$。我们的研究确定了Sr $_{1-x}$ Eu $_x$ In $_2$(As,P)$_2$作为一种新的可调材料平台,用于研究外尔和节点费米子在晶体和轴子绝缘体状态的支架中的物理和应用。

英文摘要:

Recent classification efforts encompassing crystalline symmetries have revealed rich possibilities for solid-state systems to support a tapestry of exotic topological states. However, finding materials that realize such states remains a daunting challenge. Here we show how the interplay of topology, symmetry, and magnetism combined with doping and external electric and magnetic field controls can be used to drive the previously unreported SrIn$_2$As$_2$ materials family into a variety of topological phases. Our first-principles calculations and symmetry analysis reveal that SrIn$_2$As$_2$ is a dual topological insulator with $Z_2=(1;000)$ and mirror Chern number $C_M= -1$. Its isostructural and isovalent antiferromagnetic cousin EuIn$_2$As$_2$ is found to be an axion insulator with $Z_4= 2$. The broken time-reversal symmetry via Eu doping in Sr$_{1-x}$Eu$_x$In$_2$As$_2$ results in a higher-order or topological crystalline insulator state depending on the orientation of the magnetic easy axis. We also find that antiferromagnetic EuIn$_2$P$_2$ is a trivial insulator with $Z_4= 0$, and that it undergoes a magnetic field-driven transition to an ideal Weyl fermion or nodal fermion state with $Z_4= 1$ with applied magnetic field. Our study identifies Sr$_{1-x}$Eu$_x$In$_2$(As, P)$_2$ as a new tunable materials platform for investigating the physics and applications of Weyl and nodal fermions in the scaffolding of crystalline and axion insulator states.
