摘要:

二维蜂窝晶格体系是探索各类霍尔效应的典范平台,因为晶格几何、自旋轨道耦合与磁性的相互作用能在波函数的量子几何中催生极为丰富的特性。本研究以可由$\boldsymbol{\text{PT}}$宇称时间对称反铁磁Kane-Mele模型有效描述的蜂窝拓扑反铁磁体为研究对象,探究其非线性霍尔响应对晶格各向异性、化学势及奈尔矢量方向变化的演化规律。受$\boldsymbol{\text{PT}}$对称性约束,源于量子几何的主导阶霍尔效应为本征非线性霍尔效应,它是电场的二阶效应且与散射时间无关。我们研究了本征非线性霍尔电导率张量在反铁磁交换场和晶格各向异性驱动的拓扑相变中的行为,发现其分量不会发生符号改变,这与非本征非线性霍尔效应存在差异。在弱掺杂区域,本征非线性霍尔效应具有谷极化特性;改变化学势时,费米面发生Lifshitz利夫希茨相变的过程中,非线性霍尔电导率张量会出现扭折。此外,研究证实自旋轨道耦合打破自旋旋转对称性,是利用本征非线性霍尔效应检测奈尔矢量方向的决定性条件。本工作表明,二维蜂窝拓扑反铁磁体是一类具备丰富特性的理想材料体系,可用于本征非线性霍尔效应的相关研究。

英文摘要:

Two-dimensional systems with honeycomb lattice are known to be a paradigmatic platform to explore the various types of Hall effects, owing to that the interplay of lattice geometry, spin-orbit coupling and magnetism can give rise to very rich features in the quantum geometry of wave functions. In this work, we consider honeycomb topological antiferromagets that are effectively described by a $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric antiferromagnetic Kane-Mele model, and explore the evolution of its nonlinear Hall response with respect to the change of lattice anisotropy, chemical potential, and the direction of the Néel vector. Due to the $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry, the leading-order Hall effect of quantum geometric origin is the intrinsic nonlinear Hall effect, which is a second-order effect of electric fields and is independent of the scattering time. We investigate the behavior of the intrinsic nonlinear Hall conductivity tensor across topological phase transitions driven by antiferromagnetic exchange field and lattice anisotropy and find that its components do not change sign, which is different from the extrinsic nonlinear Hall effect. In the weakly doped regime, we find that the intrinsic nonlinear Hall effect is valley-polarized. By varying the chemical potential, we find that the nonlinear Hall conductivity tensors exhibit kinks when the Fermi surface undergoes Lifshitz transitions. Furthermore, we find that the existence of spin-orbit coupling to lift the spin-rotation symmetry is decisive for the use of intrinsic nonlinear Hall effect to detect the direction of the Néel vector. Our work shows that the two-dimensional honeycomb topological antiferromagnets are an ideal class of material systems with rich properties for the study of intrinsic nonlinear Hall effect.
