Edge State, Entanglement Entropy Spectra and Critical Hopping Coupling of Anisotropic Honeycomb Lattice

Abstract

For a bipartite honeycomb lattice, we show that the Berry phase depends not only on the shape of the system but also on the hopping couplings. Using the entanglement entropy spectra obtained by diagonalizing the block Green's function matrices, the maximal entangled state with the eigenvalue ${\lambda }_m=1/2$ of the reduced density matrix is shown to have one-to-one correspondence to the zero energy states of the lattice with open boundaries, which depends on the Berry phase. For the systems with finite bearded edges along $x$-direction we find critical hopping couplings: the maximal entangled states (zero-energy states) appear pair by pair if one increases the hopping coupling $h$ over the critical couplings $h_c$s.
