Observation of large topologically trivial Fermi arcs in the candidate type-II Weyl semimetal $WT e_{2}$

F. Y. Bruno, A. Tamai, Q. S. Wu, I. Cucchi, C. Barreteau, A. de la Torre, S. McKeown Walker, S. Riccò, Z. Wang, T. K. Kim, M. Hoesch, M. Shi, N. C. Plumb, E. Giannini, A. A. Soluyanov, and F. Baumberger

Phys. Rev. B 94, 121112(R) (2016) - Published 14 September, 2016

The authors present here several advances towards a comprehensive understanding of WTe $_{2}$ . Using microfocus laser ARPES, they resolve for the first time the distinct electronic structure of both inequivalent top and bottom (001) surfaces of WTe $_{2}$ . Moreover, they demonstrate for the first time the presence of large surface state Fermi arcs on both surfaces. Using surface electronic structure calculations, they further demonstrate that these Fermi arcs are topologically trivial and that their existence is independent of the presence of type-II Weyl points in the bulk band structure. Contrary to common belief, the observation of surface state Fermi arcs is thus not suitable to robustly identify a type-II Weyl semimetal. Finally, the authors use the observation of Fermi arcs and distinct top and bottom surfaces to clarify the controversial bulk electronic structure of WTe $_{2}$ . They show that the bulk Fermi surface is formed by three-dimensional electron and hole pockets with areas that are found to be in good agreement with transport experiments, with the exception of small hole pockets that have not been observed in quantum oscillation experiments.

Observation of Fermi arcs in the type-II Weyl semimetal candidate ${WTe}_{2}$

Yun Wu, Daixiang Mou, Na Hyun Jo, Kewei Sun, Lunan Huang, S. L. Bud'ko, P. C. Canfield, and Adam Kaminski

Phys. Rev. B 94, 121113(R) (2016) - Published 14 September, 2016

In recently predicted type-II Weyl semimetals, the Weyl states connect hole and electron bands that would otherwise be separated by an indirect gap. The set of points in the momentum space at which both bands touch are called Weyl points and are connected by Fermi arcs at the surface of the sample. Experimental evidence confirmed existence of these exotic fermions in MoTe $_{2}$ and Mo $_{x}$ W $_{1 - x}$ Te $_{2}$ . Here, the authors show that such states also exist in pure WTe $_{2}$ and are very sensitive to strain. While flat undistorted portions of the sample show well defined Fermi arcs – a clear signature of Weyl fermions – strain due to bulking of the surface in other locations suppresses this state and destroys the Weyl state. Such high sensitivity to strain provides a simple way to tune properties of Weyl Fermions and explore the physics of these unusual objects.

Observation of Dirac surface states in the noncentrosymmetric superconductor BiPd

Phys. Rev. B 94, 121407(R) (2016) - Published 22 September, 2016

Materials with strong spin-orbit coupling often host a unique electronic structure, both in the bulk and on the surface. In particular, in systems that break inversion symmetry, spin-orbit coupling facilitates the Rashba-Dresselhaus effect, leading to a lifting of spin degeneracy in the bulk and intricate spin textures of the Bloch wave functions. Such materials could see potential applications in spintronics and quantum information technology, but these applications would benefit from a broader suite of materials, with a greater range of properties, and in particularly from very strong spin-orbit splitting. This paper’s angular-resolved photoemission and low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy experiments, together with relativistic first-principles band structure calculations, identify several Dirac surface states in BiPd, one of which exhibits an extremely large spin splitting. Unlike the surface states in inversion-symmetric systems, the Dirac surface states of BiPd have completely different properties at opposite faces of the crystal and are not trivially linked by symmetry. The spin splitting of the surface states exhibits a strong anisotropy by itself, which can be linked to the low in-plane symmetry of the surface termination. Both may be useful to implement new functionalities for spintronic applications.

Entanglement entropy of $U$ (1) quantum spin liquids

Michael Pretko and T. Senthil

Phys. Rev. B 94, 125112 (2016) - Published 8 September, 2016

Entanglement entropy is a powerful tool for characterizing spin liquids and other systems with long-range entanglement. For gapped spin liquids, this problem has been well-studied, finding a universal subleading constant term in the entanglement entropy, known as the topological entanglement entropy. In this paper, the idea of topological entanglement entropy is generalized to the gapless $U$ (1) spin liquid. First, it is shown that the entanglement entropy separates into two pieces, one due to emergent charges of the theory (assumed to be gapped) and one due to the emergent gapless gauge mode. Both give universal subheading contributions to the entanglement entropy, which are logarithmic in the size of the region considered. The photon contribution is due to the local physics of the gapless mode. The particle contribution, on the other hand, is a topological term, generalizing the notion of topological entanglement entropy. A construction is presented which can isolate this topological piece by eliminating the photon contribution and other local terms, such as the area law. This topological term in the entanglement entropy can serve as a powerful diagnostic tool for $U$ (1) spin liquids.

Section Chern number for a three-dimensional photonic crystal and the bulk-edge correspondence

Shuhei Oono, Toshikaze Kariyado, and Yasuhiro Hatsugai

Phys. Rev. B 94, 125125 (2016) - Published 14 September, 2016

Slicing the 3D Brillouin zone into 2D as a dimensional reduction makes the topological structure of the 3D Weyl point clear as a topological critical point. The Chern number of the sliced 2D system (section Chern number) changes discontinuously at the gap-closing momentum that guarantees topological stability of the Weyl point. This section Chern number is just a mathematical tool and cannot be directly measured experimentally. However, propagating edge modes of the 3D system with boundaries are necessarily momentum selective, associated with the section Chern number. This is a direct consequence of the bulk-edge correspondence. Using a localized basis with/without boundaries, the authors have demonstrated this here in a 3D helical photonic crystal without inversion symmetry

Automated construction of maximally localized Wannier functions for bands with nontrivial topology

Jamal I. Mustafa, Sinisa Coh, Marvin L. Cohen, and Steven G. Louie

Phys. Rev. B 94, 125151 (2016) - Published 30 September, 2016

Wannier functions provide a useful description of the electronic states in a crystal, providing a chemical picture for the bonding structure of a material, in addition to applications in computational materials science. Topological insulators are an interesting class of materials with spin-polarized conducting surface states alongside an insulating bulk. To date, constructing Wannier functions for topological insulators has proven difficult, relying on an educated guess for the trial orbitals or requiring the system to be parameterized in order to tune between the normal and topological phase. The authors have developed an automated approach within the optimized projection functions method for constructing localized Wannier functions for topologically nontrivial bands. They demonstrate the method on a two-dimensional tight-binding model, a strong three-dimensional topological insulator, and finally, the prototypical topological insulating material Bi $_{2}$ Se $_{3}$ . They find that the Wannier functions contain large imaginary components and are more extended than those in the topologically trivial phase.

Spin and the Coulomb gap in the half-filled lowest Landau level

J. P. Eisenstein, T. Khaire, D. Nandi, A. D. K. Finck, L. N. Pfeiffer, and K. W. West

Phys. Rev. B 94, 125409 (2016) - Published 8 September, 2016

In a strong magnetic field, two-dimensional electron systems are dominated by Coulomb interactions between the electrons. While the most familiar manifestation of these interactions is the fractional quantum Hall effect, this is actually a relatively subtle variation in the strong electronic correlations that exist throughout the high-field regime. This is clearly revealed in tunneling experiments in which an uncorrelated electron is rapidly thrust into a strongly correlated electron gas. A robust Coulomb pseudogap is observed, with tunneling strongly suppressed until the energy of the incoming electron is large enough. The Coulomb gap is insensitive to the precise magnetic field and is typically much larger than the energy gap associated with the fractional quantum Hall effect. In the present paper, the authors demonstrate that the size of the Coulomb gap observed in tunneling between two parallel two-dimensional electron systems depends sensitively on their spin configuration, with larger gaps associated with a larger net spin polarization. In effect, it is easier for electrons ‘to get out of the way’ of an incoming tunneling electron when the spin polarization of the electron gas is less than complete.
