Topological phases in a two-dimensional lattice: Magnetic field versus spin-orbit coupling
arXiv:1204.2212 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.86.075118
Abstract
In this work, we explore the rich variety of topological states that arise in two-dimensional systems, by considering the competing effects of spin-orbit couplings and a perpendicular magnetic field on a honeycomb lattice. Unlike earlier approaches, we investigate minimal models in order to clarify the effects of the intrinsic and Rashba spin-orbit couplings, and also of the Zeeman splitting, on the quantum Hall states generated by the magnetic field. In this sense, our work provides an interesting path connecting quantum Hall and quantum spin Hall physics. First, we consider the properties of each term individually and we analyze their similarities and differences. Secondly, we investigate the subtle competitions that arise when these effects are combined. We finally explore the various possible experimental realizations of our model.
