Zero-energy Bound States in Nodal Topological Lattice
arXiv:1408.1908 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.91.245121
Abstract
Nodal topological lattice is a form of magnetic crystal with topologically non-trivial spin texture, which further exhibits a periodic array of nodes with vanishing magnetization. Electronic structure for conduction electrons strongly Hund-coupled to such nodal topological lattice is examined. Our analysis shows that each node attracts two localized states which form narrow bands through internode hybridization within the mid-gap region. Nodal bands carry a Chern number under suitable perturbations, suggesting their potential role in the topological Hall effect. Enhancement of the density of states near zero energy observable in a tunneling experiment will provide a signature of the formation of nodal topological lattice.
