AI总结:

本文研究Weyl半金属界面Fermi弧的同手性连接对磁输运的影响,发现纵向磁场下产生每磁通量子e²/h的普适纵向磁导,并揭示弱隧道耦合引发的磁击穿导致高场下电导饱和。

摘要:

我们研究了两个Weyl半金属之间界面的磁输运,这两个Weyl半金属的Weyl节点投影到不同的界面动量上。这样的界面通常会承载Fermi弧,这些Fermi弧连接不同Weyl半金属中具有相同手性的Weyl节点(同手性连接)——这与表面Fermi弧在同一Weyl半金属内连接相反手性Weyl节点(异手性连接)形成对比。我们证明,在纵向磁场存在下,沿同手性连接弧的电子输运导致每个磁通量子的普适纵向磁导为$e^2/h$。此外,弱隧道耦合可以导致两条同手性连接Fermi弧的近距离相遇,从而引发磁击穿。在击穿场以上,界面Fermi弧的连接实际上变为异手性,导致电导饱和。

英文摘要:

We investigate magnetotransport across an interface between two Weyl semimetals whose Weyl nodes project onto different interface momenta. Such an interface generically hosts Fermi arcs that connect Weyl nodes of identical chirality in different Weyl semimetals (homochiral connectivity) -- in contrast to surface Fermi arcs that connect opposite-chirality Weyl nodes within the same Weyl semimetal (heterochiral connectivity). We show that electron transport along the arcs with homochiral connectivity, in the presence of a longitudinal magnetic field, leads to a universal longitudinal magnetoconductance of $e^2/h$ per magnetic flux quantum. Furthermore, a weak tunnel coupling can result in a close encounter of two homochiral-connectivity Fermi arcs, enabling magnetic breakdown. Above the breakdown field the interface Fermi arc connectivity is effectively heterochiral, leading to a saturation of the conductance.
