Chiral plasmons without magnetic field.
Plasmons, the collective oscillations of interacting electrons, possess emergent properties that dramatically alter the optical response of metals. We predict the existence of a new class of plasmons-chiral Berry plasmons (CBPs)-for a wide range of 2D metallic systems including gapped Dirac materials. As we show, in these materials the interplay between Berry curvature and electron-electron int...
متن کاملChiral Spin Mode on the Surface of a Topological Insulator.
Using polarization-resolved resonant Raman spectroscopy, we explore collective spin excitations of the chiral surface states in a three dimensional topological insulator, Bi_{2}Se_{3}. We observe a sharp peak at 150 meV in the pseudovector A_{2} symmetry channel of the Raman spectra. By comparing the data with calculations, we identify this peak as the transverse collective spin mode of surface...
متن کاملCreation of helical Dirac fermions by interfacing two gapped systems of ordinary fermions.
Topological insulators are a unique class of materials characterized by a Dirac cone state of helical Dirac fermions in the middle of a bulk gap. When the thickness of a three-dimensional topological insulator is reduced, however, the interaction between opposing surface states opens a gap that removes the helical Dirac cone, converting the material back to a normal system of ordinary fermions....
متن کاملChiral scars in chaotic Dirac fermion systems.
Do relativistic quantum scars in classically chaotic systems possess unique features that are not shared by nonrelativistic quantum scars? We report a class of relativistic quantum scars in massless Dirac fermion systems whose phases return to the original values or acquire a 2π change only after circulating twice about some classical unstable periodic orbits. We name such scars chiral scars, t...
متن کاملGapped and gapless spin liquid phases on the Kagome lattice from chiral three-spin interactions
We argue that a relatively simple model containing only SU(2)-invariant chiral three-spin interactions on a Kagome lattice of S = 1/2 spins can give rise to both a gapped and a gapless quantum spin liquid. Our arguments are rooted in a formulation in terms of network models of edge states and are backed up by a careful numerical analysis. For a uniform choice of chirality on the lattice, we rea...
