Optical N-invariant of graphene's topological viscous Hall fluid.

ABSTRACT: Over the past three decades, graphene has become the prototypical platform for discovering topological phases of matter. Both the Chern [Formula: see text] and quantum spin Hall [Formula: see text] insulators were first predicted in graphene, which led to a veritable explosion of research in topological materials. We introduce a new topological classification of two-dimensional matter - the optical N-phases [Formula: see text]. This topological quantum number is connected to polarization transport and captured solely by the spatiotemporal dispersion of the susceptibility tensor χ. We verify N ≠ 0 in graphene with the underlying physical mechanism being repulsive Hall viscosity. An experimental probe, evanescent magneto-optic Kerr effect (e-MOKE) spectroscopy, is proposed to explore the N-invariant. We also develop topological circulators by exploiting gapless edge plasmons that are immune to back-scattering and navigate sharp defects with impunity. Our work indicates that graphene with repulsive Hall viscosity is the first candidate material for a topological electromagnetic phase of matter.

Hall conductance and topological invariant for open systems.

Project description:The Hall conductivity given by the Kubo formula is a linear response of quantum transverse transport to a weak electric field. It has been intensively studied for quantum systems without decoherence, but it is barely explored for systems subject to decoherence. In this paper, we develop a formulism to deal with this issue for topological insulators. The Hall conductance of a topological insulator coupled to an environment is derived, the derivation is based on a linear response theory developed for open systems in this paper. As an application, the Hall conductance of a two-band topological insulator and a two-dimensional lattice is presented and discussed.

Chiral-Bubble-Induced Topological Hall Effect in Ferromagnetic Topological Insulator Heterostructures.

Project description:We report compelling evidence of an emergent topological Hall effect (THE) from chiral bubbles in a two-dimensional uniaxial ferromagnet, V-doped Sb2Te3 heterostructure. The sign of THE signal is determined by the net curvature of domain walls in different domain configurations, and the strength of THE signal is correlated with the density of nucleation or pinned bubble domains. The experimental results are in good agreement with the integrated linear transport and Monte Carlo simulations, corroborating the emergent gauge field at chiral magnetic bubbles. Our findings not only reveal a general mechanism of THE in two-dimensional ferromagnets but also pave the way for the creation and manipulation of topological spin textures for spintronic applications.

Skyrmion Lattice Topological Hall Effect near Room Temperature.

Project description:Magnetic skyrmions are stable nanosized spin structures that can be displaced at low electrical current densities. Because of these properties, they have been proposed as building blocks of future electronic devices with unprecedentedly high information density and low energy consumption. The electrical detection of an ordered skyrmion lattice via the Topological Hall Effect (THE) in a bulk crystal, has so far been demonstrated only at cryogenic temperatures in the MnSi family of compounds. Here, we report the observation of a skyrmion lattice Topological Hall Effect near room temperature (276?K) in a mesoscopic lamella carved from a bulk crystal of FeGe. This region coincides with the skyrmion lattice location revealed by neutron scattering. We provide clear evidence of a re-entrant helicoid magnetic phase adjacent to the skyrmion phase, and discuss the large THE amplitude (5?n?.cm) in view of the ordinary Hall Effect.

Topological optical differentiator.

Project description:Optical computing holds significant promise of information processing with ultrahigh speed and low power consumption. Recent developments in nanophotonic structures have generated renewed interests due to the prospects of performing analog optical computing with compact devices. As one prominent example, spatial differentiation has been demonstrated with nanophotonic structures and directly applied for edge detection in image processing. However, broadband isotropic two-dimensional differentiation, which is required in most imaging processing applications, has not been experimentally demonstrated yet. Here, we establish a connection between two-dimensional optical spatial differentiation and a nontrivial topological charge in the optical transfer function. Based on this connection, we experimentally demonstrate an isotropic two-dimensional differentiation with a broad spectral bandwidth, by using the simplest photonic device, i.e. a single unpatterned interface. Our work indicates that exploiting concepts from topological photonics can lead to new opportunities in optical computing.

Strain-induced nonlinear spin Hall effect in topological Dirac semimetal.

Project description:We show that an electric field applied to a strained topological Dirac semimetal, such as Na3Bi and Cd3As2, induces a spin Hall current that is quadratic in the electric field. By regarding the strain as an effective "axial magnetic field" for the Dirac electrons, we investigate the electron and spin transport semiclassically in terms of the chiral kinetic theory. The nonlinear spin Hall effect arises as the cross effect between the regular Hall effect driven by the axial magnetic field and the anomalous Hall effect coming from the momentum-space topology. It provides an efficient way to generate a fully spin-polarized and rectified spin current out of an alternating electric field, which is sufficiently large and can be directly tuned by the gate voltage and the strain.

Large transverse Hall-like signal in topological Dirac semimetal Cd3As2.

Project description:Cadmium arsenide (Cd3As2) is known for its inverted band structure and ultra-high electron mobility. It has been theoretically predicted and also confirmed by ARPES experiments to exhibit a 3D Dirac semimetal phase containing degenerate Weyl nodes. From magneto-transport measurements in high quality single crystals of Cd3As2, a small effective mass m(*)???0.05 me is determined from the Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations. In certain field orientations, we find a splitting of the SdH oscillation frequency in the FFT spectrum suggesting a possible lifting of the double degeneracy in accord with the helical spin texture at outer and inner Fermi surfaces with opposite chirality predicted by our ab initio calculations. Strikingly, a large antisymmetric magnetoresistance with respect to the applied magnetic fields is uncovered over a wide temperature range in needle crystal of Cd3As2 with its long axis along [112] crystal direction. It reveals a possible contribution of intrinsic anomalous velocity term in the transport equation resulting from a unique 3D Rashba-like spin splitted bands that can be obtained from band calculations with the inclusion of Cd antisite defects.

Cochlear Outer-Hair-Cell Power Generation and Viscous Fluid Loss.

Project description:Since the discovery of otoacoustic emissions and outer hair cell (OHC) motility, the fundamental question of whether the cochlea produces mechanical power remains controversial. In the present work, direct calculations are performed on power loss due to fluid viscosity and power generated by the OHCs. A three-dimensional box model of the mouse cochlea is used with a feed-forward/feed-backward approximation representing the organ of Corti cytoarchitecture. The model is fit to in vivo basilar membrane motion with one free parameter for the OHCs. The calculations predict that the total power output from the three rows of OHCs can be over three orders of magnitude greater than the acoustic input power at 10 dB sound pressure level (SPL). While previous work shows that the power gain, or the negative damping, diminishes with intensity, we show explicitly based on our model that OHC power output increases and saturates with SPL. The total OHC power output is about 2 pW at 80 dB SPL, with a maximum of about 10 fW per OHC.

A nontrivial crossover in topological Hall effect regimes.

Project description:We propose a new theory of the topological Hall effect (THE) in systems with non-collinear magnetization textures such as magnetic skyrmions. We solve the problem of electron scattering on a magnetic skyrmion exactly, for an arbitrary strength of exchange interaction and the skyrmion size. We report the existence of different regimes of THE and resolve the apparent contradiction between the adiabatic Berry phase theoretical approach and the perturbation theory for THE. We traced how the topological charge Hall effect transforms into the spin Hall effect upon varying the exchange interaction strength or the skyrmion size. This transformation has a nontrivial character: it is accompanied by an oscillating behavior of both charge and spin Hall currents. This hallmark of THE allows one to identify the chirality driven contribution to Hall response in the experiments.

Two-component anomalous Hall effect in a magnetically doped topological insulator.

Project description:The anomalous Hall (AH) effect measurement has emerged as a powerful tool to gain deep insights into magnetic materials, such as ferromagnetic metals, magnetic semiconductors, and magnetic topological insulators (TIs). In Mn-doped Bi2Se3, however, the AH effect has never been reported despite a lot of previous studies. Here we report the observation of AH effect in (Bi,Mn)2Se3 thin films and show that the sign of AH resistances changes from positive to negative as the Mn concentration is increased. The positive and negative AH resistances are found to coexist in a crossover regime. Such a two-component AH effect and the sign reversal can also be obtained by electrical gating of lightly doped samples. Our results provide an important basis for understanding the puzzling interplay between the surface states, the bulk states, and various magnetic doping effects, as well as competing magnetic orders in magnetically doped TIs.

Subwavelength Acoustic Valley-Hall Topological Insulators Using Soda Cans Honeycomb Lattices.

Project description:Topological valley-contrasting physics has attracted great attention in exploring the use of the valley degree of freedom as a promising carrier of information. Recently, this concept has been extended to acoustic systems to obtain nonbackscattering sound propagations. However, previous demonstrations are limited by the cut-off frequency of 2D waveguides and lattice-scale size restrictions since the topological edge states originate from Bragg interference. Here we engineer topologically valley-projected edge states in the form of spoof surface acoustic waves that confine along the surface of a subwavelength honeycomb lattice composed of 330-mL soda cans. The inversion symmetry is broken through injecting a certain amount of water into one of the two cans in each unit cell, which gaps the Dirac cone and ultimately leads to the topological valley-Hall phase transition. Dual-frequency ranges of the valley-projected edge states below the sound line are observed, which originate from the first-order and second-order resonances, respectively. These results have the potential to enable promising routes to design integrated acoustic devices based on valley-contrasting physics.
