二维Weyl半金属对称性破缺引起的极化跳跃

Polarization jumps by breaking symmetries of two-dimensional Weyl semimetals

Hiroki Yoshida, Tiantian Zhang, Shuichi Murakami

摘要:

电极化的强度作为一个整体量由绝缘系统中的现代极化理论描述,而不能在导电系统中定义。当系统中的参数逐渐变化时,只要间隙保持打开,偏振总是平滑地变化。在本文中,我们专注于二维Weyl半金属,主机的Weyl节点的对称性保护,并研究了极化的行为时,一个破缺项$M$的引入和间隙打开。我们表明,可以有一个跳跃之间的$M\to0^+$和$M\to0^-$限制。我们发现,跳跃是普遍描述的``外尔偶极子”代表如何外尔节点的电荷在倒易空间中的位移。我们的结果适用于一般的二维Weyl半金属。

英文摘要:

The electric polarization as a bulk quantity is described by the modern theory of polarization in insulating systems and cannot be defined in conducting systems. Upon a gradual change of a parameter in the system, the polarization always varies smoothly as long as the gap remains open. In this paper, we focus on the two-dimensional Weyl semimetal, which hosts Weyl nodes protected by symmetries, and study the behavior of the polarization when a symmetry-breaking term $M$ is introduced and a gap opens. We show that there can be a jump between $M\to0^+$ and $M\to0^-$ limits. We find that the jump is universally described by the ``Weyl dipole" representing how the Weyl nodes with monopole charges are displaced in the reciprocal space. Our result is applicable to general two-dimensional Weyl semimetals.
