摘要:

拓扑半金属状态具有最小数目,即,对于研究与手性拓扑电荷有关的效应,只需要一对Weyl点。到目前为止,对这种状态的研究主要集中在磁自旋系统上。在这里,我们发现双自旋无自旋系统可以拥有一类单对Weyl点(SP-WP)态,其中两个Weyl点位于两个高对称的时间反演不变动量。我们确定了32个候选空间群,主机等国家,我们表明,每个外尔点的SP-WP状态的手征电荷必须是一个偶数。除了达到最小数量外,SP-WP态中的外尔点在动量空间中相隔很远,使每个点的物理性质更好地暴露出来。大的分离结合均匀的拓扑电荷导致扩展的表面费米环与非收缩的缠绕拓扑的表面布里渊区环面,不同于传统的外尔半金属。我们在两种混凝土材料TlBO $_2$和KNiIO $_6$的声子谱中证实了我们的建议。我们的发现适用于广泛的系统,包括电子,声子和各种人工系统。这为寻找研究手性粒子的理想平台提供了一个新的方向。

英文摘要:

Topological semimetal states having the minimal number, i.e., only a single pair, of Weyl points are desirable for the study of effects associated with chiral topological charges. So far, the search for such states is focused on magnetic spinful systems. Here, we find that nonmagnetic spinless systems can host a class of single-pair-Weyl-point (SP-WP) states, where the two Weyl points are located at two high-symmetry time-reversal-invariant momenta. We identify 32 candidate space groups that host such states, and we show that the chiral charge of each Weyl point in the SP-WP state must be an even integer. Besides achieving the minimal number, Weyl points in SP-WP states are far separated in momentum space, making the physics of each individual point better exposed. The large separation combined with the even topological charge lead to extended surface Fermi loops with a non-contractible winding topology on the surface Brillouin zone torus, distinct from conventional Weyl semimetals. We confirm our proposal in the phonon spectra of two concrete materials TlBO$_2$ and KNiIO$_6$. Our finding applies to a wide range of systems, including electronic, phononic, and various artificial systems. It offers a new direction for the search of ideal platforms to study chiral particles.
