2 A pr 2 01 7 Z 2 topological order and Majorana doubling in Kitaev Chain Rukhsan Ul Haq
The Kitaev chain model exhibits topological order which manifests as topological degeneracy, Majorana edge modes and Z2 topological invariant of bulk spectrum. This model can be obtained from a transverse field Ising model(TFIM) using the Jordan-Wigner transformation. TFIM has neither topological degeneracy nor any edge modes. The natural question which arises is how is topological order in the...
متن کاملTopological spinon semimetals and gapless boundary states in three dimensions.
Recently, there has been much effort in understanding topological phases of matter with gapless bulk excitations, which are characterized by topological invariants and protected intrinsic boundary states. Here we show that topological semimetals of Majorana fermions arise in exactly solvable Kitaev spin models on a series of three-dimensional lattices. The ground states of these models are quan...
متن کاملThe vicinity of hyper-honeycomb β-Li2IrO3 to a three-dimensional Kitaev spin liquid state
Due to the combination of a substantial spin-orbit coupling and correlation effects, iridium oxides hold a prominent place in the search for novel quantum states of matter, including, e.g., Kitaev spin liquids and topological Weyl states. We establish the promise of the very recently synthesized hyper-honeycomb iridate β-Li2IrO3 in this regard. A detailed theoretical analysis reveals the presen...
متن کاملMicroscopic Description of 2D Topological Phases, Duality, and 3D State Sums
Doubled topological phases introduced by Kitaev, Levin, and Wen supported on two-dimensional lattices are Hamiltonian versions of three-dimensional topological quantum field theories described by the Turaev-Viro state sum models. We introduce the latter with an emphasis on obtaining them from theories in the continuum. Equivalence of the previous models in the ground state is shown in case of t...
متن کاملTransverse Domain Wall Profile for Spin Logic Applications
Domain wall (DW) based logic and memory devices require precise control and manipulation of DW in nanowire conduits. The topological defects of Transverse DWs (TDW) are of paramount importance as regards to the deterministic pinning and movement of DW within complex networks of conduits. In-situ control of the DW topological defects in nanowire conduits may pave the way for novel DW logic appli...
