Topological blockade and measurement of topological charge.
The fractionally charged quasiparticles appearing in the 5/2 fractional quantum Hall plateau are predicted to have an extra nonlocal degree of freedom, known as topological charge. We show how this topological charge can block the tunneling of these particles, and how such topological blockade can be used to read out their topological charge. We argue that the short time scale required for this...
متن کاملA molecular quantized charge pump.
A novel single electron pump based on individual molecules (a single wall carbon nanotube) is discussed in terms of the hybrid superconducting-normal conducting pumping principle. A concept demonstration device has been built based on a carbon nanotube contacted by Nb-Ti leads. Charge current quantization is achieved through rf modulation of the back gate voltage. The device is able to transfer...
متن کاملTopological charge of Center Vortices
Center vortices provide an appealing picture of confinement [1]. When center vortices are removed from the Yang-Mills ensemble, the string tension [2] and the quark condensate [3] are lost. Therefore one should expect that center vortices can also explain spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry. The mechanism of spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry seems to be tied to the topological propert...
متن کامل19 97 Topological Electric Charge
By treating magnetic charge as a gauge symmetry through the introduction of a " magnetic " pseudo four-vector potential, it is shown that it is possible, using the 't Hooft-Polyakov construction, to obtain a topological electric charge. The mass of this electrically charged particle is found to be on the order of 1 137 M W as opposed to the much larger mass (on the order of 137M W) of the magne...
متن کاملEffective Topological Charge Cancelation Mechanism
Topological defects (TDs) appear almost unavoidably in continuous symmetry breaking phase transitions. The topological origin makes their key features independent of systems' microscopic details; therefore TDs display many universalities. Because of their strong impact on numerous material properties and their significant role in several technological applications it is of strong interest to fi...
