Semi-Dirac and Weyl fermions in transition metal oxides

چکیده
We show that a class of compounds with $I$4/$mcm$ crystalline symmetry hosts three-dimensional semi-Dirac fermions. Unlike the known two-dimensional points, degeneracy these points is not lifted by spin-orbit coupling due to protection nonsymmorphic -- screw rotation in $a-b$ plane and translation along $c$ axis. This found tetragonal perovskite oxides, realizable thin films epitaxial strain results a$^0$a$^0$c$^-$-type octahedral rotation. Interestingly, broken time-reversal symmetry, two pairs Weyl emerge from within Brillouin zone, an additional lattice distortion leads enhanced intrinsic anomalous Hall effect. The ability tune Berry phase can be useful novel oxide-based electronic devices.

Beyond Dirac and Weyl Fermions
An international team of researchers has predicted the existence of several previously unknown types of quantum particles in materials. The particles— which belong to the class of particles known as fermions—can be distinguished by several intrinsic properties, such as their responses to applied magnetic and electric fields. In several cases, fermions in the interior of the material show their ...
متن کاملIntertwined Rashba, Dirac, and Weyl Fermions in Hexagonal Hyperferroelectrics.
By means of density functional theory based calculations, we study the role of spin-orbit coupling in the new family of ABC hyperferroelectrics [Garrity, Rabe, and Vanderbilt Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 127601 (2014)]. We unveil an extremely rich physics strongly linked to ferroelectric properties, ranging from the electric control of bulk Rashba effect to the existence of a three-dimensional topolog...
متن کاملPhenomenology of a semi-Dirac semi-Weyl semimetal
We extend the semiclassical study of fermionic particle-hole symmetric semi-Dirac (more appropriately, semiDirac semi-Weyl) dispersion of quasiparticles, εK = ± √ (k2 x/2m) + (vky)) = ±ε0 √ K4 x +K2 y in dimensionless units, discovered computationally in oxide heterostructures by Pardo and collaborators. This unique system is a highly anisotropic sister phase of both (symmetric) graphene and wh...
متن کاملElectroplating lithium transition metal oxides
Materials synthesis often provides opportunities for innovation. We demonstrate a general low-temperature (260°C) molten salt electrodeposition approach to directly electroplate the important lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery cathode materials LiCoO2, LiMn2O4, and Al-doped LiCoO2. The crystallinities and electrochemical capacities of the electroplated oxides are comparable to those of the powders sy...
متن کاملMott physics and topological phase transition in correlated dirac fermions.
We investigate the interplay between the strong correlation and the spin-orbit coupling in the Kane-Mele-Hubbard model and obtain the qualitative phase diagram via the variational cluster approach. We identify, through an increase of the Hubbard U, the transition from the topological band insulator to either the spin liquid phase or the easy-plane antiferromagnetic insulating phase, depending o...
