2 Chiral Quantum Hall States in Condensed Matter Klitzing, K.; Dorda, G.; Pepper, M. (1980). Phys. Rev. Lett. 45 (6): Bulk insulating state with zero conductivity σ = 0 A 2D quantum Hall state is like an insulator but has chiral edge state, quantized Hall conductivity σ 2 xy = ne / h Both states are differentiated by Chern number: i = 2 n d k uk k uk 2π BZ bands Berry Flux
3 Quantum Spin Hall Insulator (2D Topological Insulator) Bernevig, B. A., and S. C. Zhang, (2006) Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, Quantum Hall state permits conduction in one dimension along sample boundary Quantum Spin Hall state at zero magnetic field permits conduction in spin filtered edge states. (HgTe-CdTe quantum well structures) Conductivity is dissipationless since there is no state for the electron at the edge to back scatter on non-magnetic impurity!

11 Weyl Semi-Metal and its Berry Flux In the vicinity of Weyl Point: q=k-k D E ( ) ( ) 2 ± q =± vi q H ( q) = vi qσ i i= xyz The Berry curvature is evaluated to be i= xyz N occ 1 1 Ω ( k) = i kukn kukn εijk ( vi vj )( vk q) n= 1 ijk 2 ( ) (only Weyl point contributes) 2 ( v ) 3/2 i q i Integrating over small sphere surrounding Weyl point produces flux that is given by chiral charge c 1 c = ds ( k) sign( v1 v2 v3) 2π Ω = S Weyl point acts as a magnetic monopole at the origin: whose charge is given by chirality Ω ( q) = 1 q c 2 q 3
12 Weyl Semi-Metal: Formation of Surface States Construct a curve in the surface Brillouin zone encircling the projection of the bulk Weyl point. Consider H(λ, k z ) = H(k λ, k z ), the gapped Hamiltonian of the two dimensional subsystem defined by this curve. The Chern number of this two dimensional band structure is given by the Berry curvature integration which, corresponds to the monopole density enclosed within the torus, that is the chirality c of enclosed Weyl node. Then, the two dimensional subsystem defines a quantum Hall insulator with unit Chern number. When defined on the half space z < 0, this corresponds to putting the quantum Hall state on a cylinder, and hence we expect a chiral edge state. Its energy E(k λ ) spans the band gap of the subsystem, as k λ is varied. Hence, this surface state crosses zero energy somewhere on the surface Brillouin zone. Gap k λ k λ defines a 2D subsystem with non-zero C number: we expect a Chiral Edge State
13 Weyl Semi-Metal: Formation of Fermi Arc Fermi Arc connects Weyl points of opposite chirality
14 Tight-Binding Simulation of (001) Surface Band Structure Fermi Arcs connecting Weyl points of opposite chirality can be directly observed
15 Properties of Weyl semimetals Each Weyl point can be characterized by chiral charge determined in terms of electron velocities at this k W point: Anomalous Hall conductivity is characterized by Chern vector ν c (Haldane, 2004) 2 2 e ie σab = εabcνc = [ k u ] a k k u b k k u b k k u a k 2πh 2πh c c = s ign( v v v) Weyl points are topological: they can only be eliminated by recombining with each other. bands Yang, Lu, and Ran, PRB 2011: In general Weyl semimetal ν nodes = ( 1) ξi Pi where P i is momentum of each node and ξ i is its chirality. i No bulk conductivity as in topological insulators, only surface Fermi arcs conduct.
16 dk/dt = ev k x B These magnetic orbits involving Fermi arcs are distinguished from conventional magnetic orbits in ordinary 2D systems or in surface states of 3D systems by the dependence on the slab thickness, L. 2π εn ( n + γ) = μ T T t + t k / evb+ L/ v arc 1 πv 1/ B = ek0 ( n + γ ) L μ B k / L sat 0 slab 0
17 Chiral Anomaly and Large Negative Magnetoresistance If electric field E is applied along B, all states move along the field according to dk/dt= ee. Zeroth Landau level is chiral, i.e., it disperses only one way for each Weyl node. Therefore, motion of the states along E corresponds to electrons disappearing from right-moving band and reappearing in the left-moving one. In order to equilibrate the charge imbalance, large-momentum internode scattering is required. Such processes are weak, the internode scattering time τ is very large, causing a remarkable increase in conductivity:

24 Weyl Points in Iridates There are positive Weyl points at locations k W and negative Weyl points at locations k W. Here is our case: Positive and negative Weyl points in BZ
25 Tight-Binding Simulation of (110) Surface Band Structure for Iridates Fermi Arcs connecting Weyl points of opposite chirality can be directly observed
26 Suggested Electronic Phase Diagram of Iridates
27 Osmium Spinels (d 5 ) Spinel compounds have B-sites forming a corner sharing tetrahedral network. It may be expected that spinel structure will be more tunable by pressure, external fields or by doping as compared to closely packed pyrochlore lattice. Valence arguments: AOs 2 O 4 (A=Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) 3s band of Mg appears around the Fermi level, thus we do not consider MgOs 2 O 4 (Wan, Vishwanath, SS, PRL 2012)
28 Optimizing Lattice The Os-Os bond length of spinel osmates is shorter than that of Y 2 Ir 2 O 7, and one can expect that the U in CaOs 2 O 4 is smaller than in Y 2 Ir 2 O 7. We therefore believe that the U is in the range between 0.5 and 1.5 ev.
29 Magnetic configuration Collinear (001) Non-Collinear 2-in/2-out Non-Collinear All-in/out
30 Suggested Electronic Phase Diagram for CaOs 2 O 4 SrOs 2 O 4 shows the same rich phase diagram as Iridates!
31 Challenges in finding Weyl Semimetals So many compounds have negative MR, transport does not help!! Weyl nodes at arbitrary k points Where is the Fermi level? How to separate surface and bulk? Calculation/Prediction can NOT tell us that it will work, so many people predicted so many Weyl compounds
32 Recent Experimetal Discoveries
33 Bulk Electronic Structure of TaAs: : 24 Weyl Nodes Yan Sun, Shu-Chun Wu, and Binghai Yan, PRB 2015
34 Detecting Fermi Arcs in TaAs by ARPES
35 Conclusion Novel Weyl semimetals have been predicted: Weyl nodes are topological objects, they cannot be gapped unless by annihilating with each other. They give rise to protected surface states similar to topological insulators: Fermi arcs at surface BZ that connect projected bulk Weyl points of opposite chirality. They show a variety of interesting properties: a giant anomalous Hall effect, a large negative magnetoresitance and so on. Pyrochlore Iridates could be candidates for Weyl semimetals (also hypothetical Os spinels) via time reversal symmetry breaking due to magnetic ordering. Recent discoveries of inversion symmetry broken materials such as TaAs confirmed theoretical predictions.
