摘要:

近年来,探索高阶拓扑及其半金属对应物引起了广泛关注,特别是在Dirac、Weyl和节线半金属的背景下,分别被称为高阶Dirac半金属(HODSM)、高阶Weyl半金属和高阶节线半金属(HONLSM)。HODSM相表现出具有量子化高阶拓扑不变量的铰链费米弧(FAs)。相反,HONLSM相是一种混合阶拓扑相,表现出鼓面状表面态和铰链FAs作为一阶和二阶拓扑的特征,并且同时具有一阶和二阶拓扑不变量。在这项工作中,我们研究了一个多HODSM(mHODSM)的紧束缚模型,该模型具有量子化四极绕数(QWN)大于一的多个铰链FAs。此外,我们通过施加打破$PT$对称性的外部磁场,从mHODSM中获得了多HONLSM(mHONLSM)相。mHONLSM相同时具有仅在节线环内非零的偶极绕数(一阶拓扑的代表不变量)和QWN,表现出鼓面状表面态和多个铰链FAs。我们研究了不同几何形状下mHODSM和mHONLSM的谱性质。我们还利用双端装置研究了HONLSM中由铰链FA介导的输运。

英文摘要:

In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in exploring higher-order topology and their semi-metallic counterparts, particularly in the context of Dirac, Weyl, and nodal line semimetals, termed as higher-order Dirac semimetal (HODSM), higher-order Weyl semimetal, and higher-order nodal line semimetal (HONLSM). The HODSM phase exhibits hinge Fermi arcs (FAs) with a quantized higher-order topological invariant. Conversely, the HONLSM phase is a hybrid-order topological phase manifesting both drumhead-like surface states and hinge FAs as a signature of first- and second-order topology, and also possesses both first- and second-order topological invariants. In this work, we investigate a tight binding model for multi-HODSM (mHODSM) hosting multiple hinge FAs having a quantized quadrupolar winding number (QWN) greater than one. Furthermore, we obtain a multi-HONLSM (mHONLSM) phase from the mHODSM by applying an external magnetic field, which breaks the $PT$-symmetry. The mHONLSM phase possesses both the dipolar winding number, non-vanishing only inside the nodal loops, being the representative invariant for first-order topology, and the QWN, featuring both drumhead-like surface states and multiple hinge FAs. We study the spectral properties of the mHODSM and mHONLSM in different geometries. We also investigate the hinge FA-mediated transport in HONLSM employing a two-terminal setup.
