本文基于Γ8四重态模型研究SmB6的磁性与拓扑性质,揭示压力或对称性破缺可诱导金属反铁磁相,并阐明不同磁序对应的Dirac节线、Weyl点等拓扑特征及表面态和输运性质。

摘要:

SmB6是一种混合价态化合物,具有平坦的f电子能带,并倾向于形成磁性。本文利用一个现实的Γ8四重态模型,研究了动态自旋磁化率,并描述了中子散射实验中观测到的带隙内集体模式。我们表明,随着压力增大,Sm价态升高,磁关联增强,SmB6经历一级相变进入金属反铁磁态,其对称性取决于模型参数。这些磁有序产生不同的能带拓扑:A型序导致价带和导带以Dirac节线形式发生交叠,而G型序则具有负的间接带隙和弱的Z2指标。我们还考虑了强磁场下的自旋极化相,发现它在费米能级附近表现出Weyl点以及节线。这些磁性相展现出显著不同的表面态和可调的体输运性质,对实验具有重要启示。我们的理论预测,通过解除Γ8立方对称性也可以稳定磁有序,从而解释了SmB6中报道的表面磁性。

英文摘要:

SmB6 is a mixed-valence compound with flat f-electron bands that have a propensity to magnetism. Here, using a realistic Gamma8 quartet model, we investigate the dynamical spin susceptibility and describe the in-gap collective mode observed in neutron scattering experiments. We show that as the Sm valence increases with pressure, the magnetic correlations enhance and SmB6 undergoes a first-order phase transition into a metallic antiferromagnetic state, whose symmetry depends on the model parameters. The magnetic orderings give rise to distinct band topologies: while the A-type order leads to an overlap between valence and conduction bands in the form of Dirac nodal lines, the G-type order has a negative indirect gap with weak Z2 indices. We also consider the spin polarized phase under a strong magnetic field, and find that it exhibits Weyl points as well as nodal lines close to the Fermi level. The magnetic phases show markedly different surface states and tunable bulk transport properties, with important implications for experiments. Our theory predicts that a magnetic order can be stabilized also by lifting the Gamma8 cubic symmetry, thus explaining the surface magnetism reported in SmB6.
