摘要:

拓扑学为在扰动存在时获得不变(或受保护)的量子性质提供了一个核心概念。现实应用面临的一个挑战是,真实系统所展现的保护水平会发生显著变化。一些关键差异源于影响扩展无耗散模式重构行为的机制。尽管关于背向散射的潜在成因已有诸多富有洞见的结果,但基于边缘态的方法存在局限,因为击穿测试表明,体态会作出不可或缺的贡献。本研究考察了体相重构的影响,其中无耗散模式是全局对象,而非局限于样品边缘。研究采用 Corbino 样品几何中承载的整数量子霍尔效应(IQHE),并将其连续带到击穿边缘。研究开发了一种探测技术,包含两套独立装置,能够同时捕捉纵向和横向两个方向上耗散的起始。正交结果之间的实时对应证实了两个事实。1. 无耗散电荷模式会响应电化学势变化而频繁重构,使无耗散电流路径在保持手性的同时横向扩展进入体相。只有当重构后的无耗散电流路径之间出现背向散射、并桥接相对的边缘接触时,才会发生击穿。2. 杂质屏蔽对于增强保护至关重要,而拓扑保护受到无序、电子—电子相互作用与拓扑之间微妙相互作用的影响。所提出的重构机制定性解释了鲁棒性差异,有助于开发优化手段。

英文摘要:

Topology provides an essential concept for achieving unchanged (or protected) quantum properties in the presence of perturbations. A challenge facing realistic applications is that the level of protection displayed in real systems is subject to substantial variations. Some key differences stem from mechanisms influencing the reconstruction behaviors of extended dissipationless modes. Despite various insightful results on potential causes of backscattering, the edge-state-based approach is limited because the bulk states, as shown by breakdown tests, contribute indispensably. This study investigates the influence of bulk reconstruction where dissipationless modes are global objects instead of being restricted to the sample edge. An integer quantum Hall effect (IQHE) hosted in a Corbino sample geometry is adopted and brought continuously to the verge of a breakdown. A detection technique is developed to include two independent setups capable of simultaneously capturing the onset of dissipation in both longitudinal and transverse directions. The real-time correspondence between orthogonal results confirms two facts. 1. Dissipationless charge modes undergo frequent reconstruction in response to electrochemical potential changes, causing dissipationless current paths to expand transversely into the bulk while preserving chirality. A breakdown only occurs when a backscattering emerges between reconfigured dissipationless current paths bridging opposite edge contacts. 2. Impurity screening is vital in enhancing protection, and topological protection is subject to an intriguing interplay of disorder, electron-electron interaction, and topology. The proposed reconstruction mechanism qualitatively explains the robustness variations, beneficial for developing means for optimization.
