摘要:
易平面量子磁体与超导体惊人相似,允许产生自旋超电流以及源自其围绕z轴的U(1)旋转对称性的有效超导相位。我们发现了一种广义的分数约瑟夫森效应,其周期性与系统尺寸线性增加,在一维自旋-1/2链中选定各向异性及相位固定边界场下出现。该效应在一个系统中结合了任意整数周期性,超越了Majorana零模及其他奇异准粒子的超导约瑟夫森效应的4π和8π周期性。我们揭示了普遍的能量-相位关系,并将该效应与最近发现的幻影螺旋联系起来。
英文摘要:
Easy-plane quantum magnets are strikingly similar to superconductors, allowing for spin supercurrent and an effective superconducting phase stemming from their $U(1)$ rotation symmetry around the $z$-axis. We uncover a generalized fractional Josephson effect with a periodicity that increases linearly with system size in one-dimensional spin-$1/2$ chains at selected anisotropies and phase-fixing boundary fields. The effect combines arbitrary integer periodicities in a single system, exceeding the $4π$ and $8π$ periodicity of superconducting Josephson effects of Majorana zero modes and other exotic quasiparticles. We reveal a universal energy-phase relation and connect the effect to the recently discovered phantom helices.
