研究手性韦伊-科恩德半金属和六方重费米子系统,通过材料数据库和对称性分类发现候选拓扑重费米子材料。

摘要:

强关联作用与对称性和拓扑学相结合,催生了新的无能隙物质相,尽管只看到了冰山一角。一个典型的框架是韦伊-科恩德半金属,其中韦伊费子通过晶格对称性约束于低能重费米激发上发展出来。这一范式开辟了探索相关拓扑学的新机会,无需非相互作用对应物,但完全实现这一潜力需要大量的候选材料。我们通过研究具有六方空间群的重费米子系统来应对这两个挑战。这一家族包含大量具有手性非对称晶格结构的晶体,促进韦伊退化,并且还具有f电子磁性中的几何摩擦。我们对重费米子态的计算识别出具有手性或非手性韦伊节点的韦伊-科恩德半金属。我们还开发了任何类型的首次搜索策略,用于处理强关联材料的困难情况,利用材料数据库、对称性分类和搜索所需实验性质的结合,并提出作为拓扑重费米子系统的候选物:手性CePt₂B和非手性Ce₂NiGe₃和Ce₆Co₂−δSi₃。我们的发现使强关联金属拓扑学在异常的量子磁性设置中成为可能,并且指出了在寻找新型强关联量子材料方面的途径。

英文摘要:

Strong correlation, in concert with symmetry and topology, engenders novel gapless phases of matter, though only a tip of the iceberg has been seen. An exemplary framework is provided by Weyl-Kondo semimetals, in which Weyl fermions develop through crystalline symmetry constraints on the emergent low-energy heavy-fermion excitations. This paradigm has opened up new opportunities to explore correlated topologies without a noninteracting counterpart, but fully realizing this potential requires a large base of candidate materials. Here we confront the challenge on both fronts by studying heavy fermion systems with hexagonal space groups. This family contains a large number of chiral nonsymmorphic crystal structures that promote Weyl degeneracies and, in addition, feature geometric frustration in the $f$-electron magnetism. Our calculations for the heavy fermion states identify Weyl-Kondo semimetals with chiral or achiral Weyl nodes in the respective structural classes. We also develop the first search strategy of any kind for the difficult case of strongly correlated materials, which is also suitable for automation, using a combination of materials database, symmetry classification and search for desired experimental properties, and propose as candidate topological heavy fermion systems the chiral CePt$_2$B and achiral Ce$_2$NiGe$_3$ and Ce$_6$Co$_{2-δ}$Si$_3$. Our findings raise the prospect for strongly correlated metallic topology in the unusual setting of exotic quantum magnetism and, moreover, point a way to go beyond serendipity in the search for novel strongly correlated quantum materials.
