We present a systematic framework to classify symmetry-enriched topological quantum spin liquids in two spatial dimensions. This framework can deal with all topological quantum spin liquids, which may be either Abelian or non-Abelian and chiral or nonchiral. It can systematically treat a general symmetry, which may include both lattice symmetry and internal symmetry, may contain antiunitary symmetry, and may permute anyons. The framework applies to all types of lattices and can systematically distinguish different lattice systems with the same symmetry group using their quantum anomalies, which are sometimes known as Lieb-Schultz-Mattis anomalies. We apply this framework to classify <math display="inline" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mi mathvariant="normal">U</mi><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mn>1</mn><msub><mo stretchy="false">)</mo><mrow><mn>2</mn><mi>N</mi></mrow></msub></math> chiral states and non-Abelian <math display="inline" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mrow><msup><mrow><mi>Ising</mi></mrow><mrow><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mi>ν</mi><mo stretchy="false">)</mo></mrow></msup></mrow></math> states enriched by a <math display="inline" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mi>p</mi><mn>6</mn><mo>×</mo><mrow><mi>SO</mi></mrow><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mn>3</mn><mo stretchy="false">)</mo></math> or <math display="inline" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mi>p</mi><mn>4</mn><mo>×</mo><mrow><mi>SO</mi></mrow><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mn>3</mn><mo stretchy="false">)</mo></math> symmetry and <math display="inline" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><msub><mi mathvariant="double-struck">Z</mi><mi>N</mi></msub></math> topological orders and <math display="inline" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mi mathvariant="normal">U</mi><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mn>1</mn><msub><mo stretchy="false">)</mo><mrow><mn>2</mn><mi>N</mi></mrow></msub><mo>×</mo><mi mathvariant="normal">U</mi><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mn>1</mn><msub><mo stretchy="false">)</mo><mrow><mo>−</mo><mn>2</mn><mi>N</mi></mrow></msub></math> topological orders enriched by a <math display="inline" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mi>p</mi><mn>6</mn><mi>m</mi><mo>×</mo><mrow><mi>SO</mi></mrow><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mn>3</mn><mo stretchy="false">)</mo><mo>×</mo><msubsup><mi mathvariant="double-struck">Z</mi><mn>2</mn><mi>T</mi></msubsup></math>, <math display="inline" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mi>p</mi><mn>4</mn><mi>m</mi><mo>×</mo><mrow><mi>SO</mi></mrow><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mn>3</mn><mo stretchy="false">)</mo><mo>×</mo><msubsup><mi mathvariant="double-struck">Z</mi><mn>2</mn><mi>T</mi></msubsup></math>, <math display="inline" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mi>p</mi><mn>6</mn><mi>m</mi><mo>×</mo><msubsup><mi mathvariant="double-struck">Z</mi><mn>2</mn><mi>T</mi></msubsup></math>, or <math display="inline" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mi>p</mi><mn>4</mn><mi>m</mi>
我们提出了一个系统框架,用于在两个空间维度上对对称性丰富的拓扑量子自旋液体进行分类。这个框架可以处理所有拓扑量子自旋液体,它们可以是阿贝尔的或非阿贝尔的,也可以是手性的或非手性的。它可以系统地处理一般对称性,其中可能包括晶格对称性和内部对称性,可能包含反单元对称性,也可能包覆任意子。该框架适用于所有类型的晶格,并能利用其量子反常现象(有时也称为利布-舒尔茨-马蒂斯反常现象)系统地区分具有相同对称群的不同晶格系统。我们运用这一框架来划分由 p6×SO(3) 或 p4×SO(3) 对称和 ZN 拓扑阶以及由 p6m×SO(3)×Z2T 丰富的 U(1)2N 手性态和非阿贝尔伊辛(ν)态、p4m×SO(3)×Z2T、p6m×Z2T 或 p4m×Z2T 对称,其中 p6、p4、p6m 和 p4m 是晶格对称,而 SO(3) 和 Z2T 分别是自旋旋转对称和时间反转对称。特别是,我们发现了对称性丰富的拓扑量子自旋液体,这些液体不容易被通常的粒子均场方法所捕获,包括具有我们熟悉的 Z2 拓扑阶的例子。

Universal Phenomenology at Critical Exceptional Points of Nonequilibrium O(N) Models 非平衡 O(N)模型临界异常点的普遍现象学

In thermal equilibrium the dynamics of phase transitions is largely controlled by fluctuation-dissipation relations: On the one hand, friction suppresses fluctuations, while on the other hand, the thermal noise is proportional to friction constants. Out of equilibrium, this balance dissolves and one can have situations where friction vanishes due to antidamping in the presence of a finite noise level. We study a wide class of O(N) field theories where this situation is realized at a phase transition, which we identify as a critical exceptional point. In the ordered phase, antidamping induces a continuous limit cycle rotation of the order parameter with an enhanced number of 2N3 Goldstone modes. Close to the critical exceptional point, however, fluctuations diverge so strongly due to the suppression of friction that in dimensions d<4 they universally either destroy a preexisting static order or give rise to a fluctuation-induced first-order transition. This is demonstrated within a full resummation of loop corrections via Dyson-Schwinger equations for N=2, and a generalization for arbitrary N, which can be solved in the long wavelength limit. We show that in order to realize this physics it is not necessary to drive a system far out of equilibrium: Using the peculiar protection of Goldstone modes, the transition from an xy magnet to a ferrimagnet is governed by an exceptional critical point once weakly perturbed away from thermal equilibrium.
在热平衡状态下,相变的动力学很大程度上受波动-消散关系的控制:一方面,摩擦会抑制波动,另一方面,热噪声与摩擦常数成正比。在平衡状态之外,这种平衡会消失,在有限噪声水平下,摩擦会由于反阻尼而消失。我们研究了一大类 O(N) 场理论,在这些理论中,这种情况会在相变阶段出现,我们将其称为临界例外点。在有序阶段,反阻尼会导致有序参数的连续极限循环旋转,同时增加 2N-3 金石模式的数量。然而,在临界超常点附近,由于摩擦的抑制,波动发散如此强烈,以至于在维数为 d<4 的情况下,它们普遍要么破坏了预先存在的静态有序,要么引起波动诱导的一阶转变。我们通过戴森-施温格方程对 N=2 的环路修正进行了完全重述,并对任意 N 进行了概括,从而在长波长极限中求解,证明了这一点。我们证明,要实现这一物理现象,并不需要使系统远远偏离平衡状态:利用金石模式的奇特保护,从 xy 磁体到铁磁体的转变受一个特殊临界点的支配,一旦受到微弱扰动就会远离热平衡。

Emergence of Complex Network Topologies from Flow-Weighted Optimization of Network Efficiency 从流量加权优化网络效率中发现复杂网络拓扑结构

Transportation and distribution networks are a class of spatial networks that have been of interest in recent years. These networks are often characterized by the presence of complex structures such as central loops paired with peripheral branches, which can appear both in natural and manmade systems, such as subway and railway networks. In this study, we investigate the conditions for the emergence of these nontrivial topological structures in the context of human transportation in cities. We propose a simple model for spatial networks generation, where a network lattice acts as a planar substrate and edge speeds define an effective temporal distance which we aim to optimize and quantifies the efficiency in exploring the urban space. Complex network topologies can be recovered from the optimization of edges’ speeds and we study how the interplay between a flow probability between two nodes in space and the associated travel cost influences the resulting optimal network. In the perspective of urban transportation we simulate these flows by means of human mobility models to obtain origin-destination matrices. We find that when using simple lattices, the obtained optimal topologies transition from treelike structures to more regular networks, depending on the spatial range of flows. Remarkably, we find that branches paired to large loops structures appear as optimal structures when the network is optimized for an interplay between heterogeneous mobility patterns of small range travels and longer-range ones typical of commuting. Moreover, when congestion dynamics in traffic routing is considered, we study the emergence of additional edges from the tree structure to mitigate temporal delays. Finally, we show that our framework is able to recover the statistical spatial properties of the Greater London area subway network.
运输和配送网络是近年来备受关注的一类空间网络。这些网络的特点通常是存在复杂的结构,如中心环路与外围分支配对,这些结构既可能出现在自然系统中,也可能出现在地铁和铁路网络等人造系统中。在本研究中,我们研究了在城市人类交通中出现这些非难拓扑结构的条件。我们提出了一个简单的空间网络生成模型,其中网络晶格充当平面基底,边缘速度定义了有效的时间距离,我们旨在优化和量化探索城市空间的效率。复杂的网络拓扑结构可以从边缘速度的优化中得到恢复,我们将研究空间中两个节点之间的流动概率与相关旅行成本之间的相互作用如何影响最终的最优网络。从城市交通的角度来看,我们通过人类流动模型模拟这些流动,从而获得出发地-目的地矩阵。我们发现,在使用简单网格时,所获得的最佳拓扑结构会从树状结构过渡到更规则的网络,这取决于流量的空间范围。值得注意的是,我们发现当网络针对小范围旅行和通勤中典型的长距离旅行之间的异质流动模式进行优化时,与大循环结构配对的分支会成为最优结构。此外,当考虑到交通路由中的拥堵动态时,我们研究了树状结构中出现的额外边,以缓解时间延迟。最后,我们展示了我们的框架能够恢复大伦敦地区地铁网络的统计空间属性。

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) is a versatile class of quantum materials of interest to various fields including, e.g., nanoelectronics, optical devices, and topological and correlated quantum matter. Tailoring the electronic properties of TMDs is essential to their applications in many directions. Here, we report that a highly controllable and uniform on-chip 2D metallization process converts a class of atomically thin TMDs into robust superconductors, a property belonging to none of the starting materials. As examples, we demonstrate the introduction of superconductivity into a class of 2D air-sensitive topological TMDs, including monolayers of TdWTe2, 1TMoTe2, and 2HMoTe2, as well as their natural and twisted bilayers, metallized with an ultrathin layer of palladium. This class of TMDs is known to exhibit intriguing topological phases ranging from topological insulator, Weyl semimetal to fractional Chern insulator. The unique, high-quality two-dimensional metallization process is based on our recent findings of the long-distance, non-Fickian in-plane mass transport and chemistry in 2D that occur at relatively low temperatures and in devices fully encapsulated with inert insulating layers. Highly compatible with existing nanofabrication techniques for van der Waals stacks, our results offer a route to designing and engineering superconductivity and topological phases in a class of correlated 2D materials.
二维(2D)过渡金属二掺杂物(TMDs)是一类用途广泛的量子材料,在纳米电子学、光学设备、拓扑和相关量子物质等多个领域都有应用。定制 TMDs 的电子特性对其在多个方向的应用至关重要。在这里,我们报告了一种高度可控和均匀的片上二维金属化工艺将一类原子级薄的 TMD 转换成了坚固的超导体,这是一种不属于任何起始材料的特性。作为示例,我们展示了如何将超导性引入一类二维空气敏感拓扑 TMD,包括 Td-WTe2、1T′-MoTe2 和 2H-MoTe2 的单层,以及它们的天然和扭曲双层,并用超薄钯层进行金属化。众所周知,这类 TMD 表现出奇妙的拓扑相,包括拓扑绝缘体、Weyl 半金属和分数切尔绝缘体。这种独特的高质量二维金属化工艺是基于我们最近对二维平面内长距离、非费克质量传输和化学性质的研究成果,这种传输和化学性质发生在相对较低的温度下和完全被惰性绝缘层封装的器件中。我们的研究成果与范德华堆栈的现有纳米制造技术高度兼容,为在一类相关二维材料中设计和制造超导和拓扑相提供了一条途径。

A topological “Thouless” pump represents the quantized motion of particles in response to a slow, cyclic modulation of external control parameters. The Thouless pump, like the quantum Hall effect, is of fundamental interest in physics, because it links physically measurable quantities, such as particle currents, to geometric properties of the experimental system, which can be robust against perturbations and, thus, technologically useful. So far, experiments probing the interplay between topology and interparticle interactions have remained relatively scarce. Here, we observe a Thouless-type charge pump in which the particle current and its directionality inherently rely on the presence of strong interactions. Experimentally, we utilize a two-component Fermi gas in a dynamical superlattice which does not exhibit a sliding motion and remains trivial in the single-particle regime. However, when tuning interparticle interactions from zero to positive values, the system undergoes a transition from being stationary to drifting in one direction, consistent with quantized pumping in the first cycle. Remarkably, the topology of the interacting pump trajectory cannot be adiabatically connected to a noninteracting limit, highlighted by the fact that only one atom is transferred per cycle. Our experiments suggest that Thouless charge pumps are promising platforms to gain insights into interaction-driven topological transitions and topological quantum matter.
拓扑 "Thouless "泵表示粒子响应外部控制参数的缓慢、循环调制而产生的量子化运动。与量子霍尔效应一样,"无汝 "泵在物理学中也具有重要意义,因为它将粒子电流等可测量的物理量与实验系统的几何特性联系起来,而几何特性可以抵御扰动,因此在技术上非常有用。迄今为止,探测拓扑结构与粒子间相互作用的实验仍然相对稀少。在这里,我们观察到一种无穷型电荷泵,其中粒子电流及其方向性本质上依赖于强相互作用的存在。在实验中,我们利用了动态超晶格中的双组分费米气体,它没有表现出滑动运动,在单粒子机制中仍然微不足道。然而,当粒子间相互作用从零值调到正值时,系统会从静止过渡到单向漂移,这与第一周期的量子化抽运是一致的。值得注意的是,相互作用泵轨迹的拓扑结构无法与非相互作用极限绝热连接,这突出表现在每个周期只有一个原子被转移。我们的实验表明,无汝电荷泵是深入了解相互作用驱动的拓扑转变和拓扑量子物质的理想平台。

众所周知,量子多体系统,尤其是具有大的近 EF 密度态的量子多体系统,由于电子相关性的增强而表现出丰富的相图。最近发现的局部非中心对称重费米子超导体 CeRh2As2 因其不同寻常的 H-T 相图(包括两相超导性、反铁磁秩序和可能的四极密度波秩序)而引起了广泛关注。然而,临界近 EF 电子结构在实验中仍然难以捉摸。在这里,我们将软 X 射线和真空紫外线(VUV)角度分辨光电发射光谱测量与原子分辨密度函数理论(DFT)+U 计算相结合,提供了这一关键信息。通过体敏软 X 射线,我们揭示了 EF 附近的准二维空穴和电子袋。另一方面,在紫外光下,Ce 平带被解析,c-f 杂化持续到远远高于 Kondo 温度。最重要的是,我们在 X 点观察到一个对称保护的四倍范霍夫奇点(VHS)与铈 4f5/21 平面带共存,据我们所知,这是以前从未报道过的。这种罕见的共存现象预计会导致区域边缘的大状态密度、奇偶相的大上临界场以及矢量为(1/2, 1/2, 0)的自旋和/或电荷不稳定性。独特的是,它还会导致一种新型的 f-VHS 杂化,改变 VHS 和平面带的有序和精细电子结构。我们的发现不仅为了解 CeRh2As2 中多相的性质提供了重要见解,而且为探索具有 f-VHS 杂化的多体系统的新特性开辟了新的前景。

Electrical Breakdown of Excitonic Insulators 激子绝缘体的电击穿

We propose a new electrical breakdown mechanism for exciton insulators in the BCS limit, which differs fundamentally from the Zener breakdown mechanism observed in traditional band insulators. Our new mechanism results from the instability of the many-body ground state for exciton condensation, caused by the strong competition between the polarization and condensation energies in the presence of an electric field. We refer to this mechanism as “many-body breakdown.” To investigate this new mechanism, we propose a BCS-type trial wave function under finite electric fields and use it to study the many-body breakdown numerically. Our results reveal two different types of electric breakdown behavior. If the system size is larger than a critical value, the Zener tunneling process is first turned on when an electrical field is applied, but the excitonic gap remains until the field strength reaches the critical value of the many-body breakdown, after which the excitonic gap disappears and the system becomes a highly conductive metallic state. However, if the system size is much smaller than the critical value, the intermediate tunneling phase disappears since the many-body breakdown happens before the onset of Zener tunneling. The sudden disappearance of the local gap leads to an “off-on” feature in the current-voltage (IV) curve, providing a straightforward way to distinguish excitonic insulators from normal insulators.
我们提出了一种新的激子绝缘体在 BCS 极限的电击穿机制,它与在传统带状绝缘体中观察到的齐纳击穿机制有着本质区别。我们的新机制源于激子凝聚的多体基态的不稳定性,这是由存在电场时极化能和凝聚能之间的强烈竞争引起的。我们把这种机制称为 "多体击穿"。为了研究这一新机制,我们提出了有限电场下的 BCS 型试验波函数,并利用它对多体击穿进行了数值研究。我们的结果揭示了两种不同类型的电击穿行为。如果系统尺寸大于临界值,在施加电场时,齐纳隧穿过程首先开启,但激子间隙一直保持到电场强度达到多体击穿的临界值,之后激子间隙消失,系统变成高导电金属态。然而,如果系统尺寸远小于临界值,中间隧道阶段就会消失,因为多体击穿发生在齐纳隧道开始之前。局部间隙的突然消失会导致电流-电压(I-V)曲线出现 "off-on "特征,从而为区分激子绝缘体和普通绝缘体提供了一种直接的方法。

Berry curvature multipoles appearing in topological quantum materials have recently attracted much attention. Their presence can manifest in novel phenomena, such as nonlinear anomalous Hall effects (NLAHE). The notion of Berry curvature multipoles extends our understanding of Berry curvature effects on the material properties. Hence, research on this subject is of fundamental importance and may also enable future applications in energy harvesting and high-frequency technology. It was shown that a Berry curvature dipole can give rise to a second-order NLAHE in materials of low crystalline symmetry. Here, we demonstrate a fundamentally new mechanism for Berry curvature multipoles in antiferromagnets that are supported by the underlying magnetic symmetries. Carrying out electric transport measurements on the kagome antiferromagnet FeSn, we observe a third-order NLAHE, which appears as a transverse voltage response at the third harmonic frequency when a longitudinal ac drive is applied. Interestingly, this NLAHE is strongest at and above room temperature. We combine these measurements with a scaling law analysis, a symmetry analysis, model calculations, first-principle calculations, and magnetic Monte Carlo simulations to show that the observed NLAHE is induced by a Berry curvature quadrupole appearing in the spin-canted state of FeSn. At a practical level, our study establishes NLAHE as a sensitive probe of antiferromagnetic phase transitions in other materials—such as moiré superlattices, two-dimensional van der Waal magnets, and quantum spin liquid candidates, which remain poorly understood to date. More broadly, Berry curvature multipole effects are predicted to exist for 90 magnetic point groups. Hence, our work opens a new research area to study a variety of topological magnetic materials through nonlinear measurement protocols.
拓扑量子材料中出现的贝里曲率多极子最近引起了广泛关注。它们的存在可表现为非线性反常霍尔效应(NLAHE)等新现象。贝里曲率多极子的概念扩展了我们对贝里曲率对材料特性影响的理解。因此,对这一课题的研究具有根本性的重要意义,并有可能在未来应用于能量收集和高频技术。研究表明,贝里曲率偶极子能在低晶体对称性材料中产生二阶非线性热效应。在这里,我们展示了反铁磁体中贝里曲率多极子的一种全新机制,它得到了底层磁对称性的支持。在对 kagome 反铁磁体 FeSn 进行电输运测量时,我们观察到了三阶 NLAHE,当施加纵向交流驱动时,它表现为三次谐波频率的横向电压响应。有趣的是,这种 NLAHE 在室温及室温以上时最强。我们将这些测量结果与缩放定律分析、对称性分析、模型计算、第一原理计算和磁蒙特卡罗模拟相结合,证明所观察到的 NLAHE 是由出现在 FeSn 自旋倾斜态中的贝里曲率四极所诱导的。在实用层面上,我们的研究将 NLAHE 确立为其他材料中反铁磁相变的灵敏探针,如摩尔超晶格、二维范德瓦尔磁体和量子自旋液体候选物,这些材料至今仍鲜为人知。更广泛地说,贝里曲率多极效应被预测为存在于 90 个磁点群中。因此,我们的工作为通过非线性测量协议研究各种拓扑磁性材料开辟了一个新的研究领域。

Direct Observation of Spin Current Oscillation in a Ferromagnet 直接观测铁磁体中的自旋电流振荡

Spin current is a crucial element in spintronics, and its diffusion in materials is typically characterized by monotonic decay. However, when the material hosting the spin current is also a magnet, the spin current is expected to exhibit spatial oscillations, the observation of which remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate the spatial oscillation of a spin current in a nickel film by measuring the thickness-dependent inverse spin Hall effect in Ni/YIG bilayers.

自旋电流是自旋电子学中的重要元素,其在材料中的扩散通常以单调衰减为特征。然而,当承载自旋电流的材料同时也是磁体时,自旋电流就会出现空间振荡,而对空间振荡的观察却仍然难以捉摸。在这里,我们通过测量镍/YIG 双层膜中与厚度相关的反向自旋霍尔效应,证明了镍膜中自旋电流的空间振荡。与非磁性材料相比,我们发现镍薄膜中的反向自旋霍尔电流会随着薄膜厚度的变化而振荡,而且振荡周期与基于多数载流子和少数载流子之间费米波矢量差异的理论预测定量一致。我们的发现揭示了自旋传输动力学中一种以前不为人知的行为,并确定了操纵自旋电流的新自由度,这对未来的自旋电子器件具有潜在的影响。

The deconfined quantum critical point (DQCP) is an example of phase transitions beyond the Landau symmetry-breaking paradigm that attracts wide interest. However, its nature has not been settled after decades of study. In this paper, we apply the recently proposed fuzzy-sphere regularization to study the SO(5) nonlinear sigma model with a topological Wess-Zumino-Witten term, which serves as a dual description of the DQCP with an exact SO(5) symmetry. We demonstrate that the fuzzy sphere functions as a powerful microscope, magnifying and revealing a wealth of crucial information about the DQCP, ultimately paving the way toward its final answer. In particular, through exact diagonalization, we provide clear evidence that the DQCP exhibits approximate conformal symmetry. The evidence includes the existence of a conserved SO(5) symmetry current, a stress tensor, and integer-spaced levels between conformal primaries and their descendants. Most remarkably, we identify 23 primaries and 76 conformal descendants. Furthermore, by examining the renormalization group flow of the lowest symmetry singlet as well as other primaries, we provide numerical evidence in favor of DQCP being pseudo-critical, with the approximate conformal symmetry plausibly emerging from nearby complex fixed points. The primary spectrum we compute also has important implications, including the conclusion that the SO(5) DQCP cannot describe a direct transition from the Néel to valence bond solid phase on the honeycomb lattice.
去封闭量子临界点(DQCP)是超越朗道对称破缺范式的相变实例,引起了广泛关注。然而,经过几十年的研究,其本质仍未确定。在本文中,我们应用最近提出的模糊球正则化来研究具有拓扑 Wess-Zumino-Witten 项的 SO(5) 非线性西格玛模型,它是具有精确 SO(5) 对称性的 DQCP 的双重描述。我们证明,模糊球就像一个功能强大的显微镜,放大并揭示了有关 DQCP 的大量关键信息,最终为找到其最终答案铺平了道路。特别是,通过精确对角化,我们提供了 DQCP 显示近似保角对称性的明确证据。这些证据包括一个守恒的 SO(5) 对称电流、一个应力张量以及共形基元和它们的后代之间的整数间隔水平的存在。最引人注目的是,我们发现了 23 个基元和 76 个共形后裔。此外,通过研究最低对称单子和其他基元的重正化群流,我们提供了支持 DQCP 为伪临界的数值证据,近似共形对称可能来自附近的复定点。我们计算的基元谱也具有重要意义,包括 SO(5) DQCP 无法描述蜂巢晶格上从内尔固相直接过渡到价键固相的结论。
