Wide-range-tunable Dirac-cone band structure in a chiral-time-symmetric non-Hermitian system
arXiv:1611.08342 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.96.052121
Abstract
We establish a connection between an arbitrary Hermitian tight-binding model with chiral (C) symmetry and its non-Hermitian counterpart with chiral-time (CT ) symmetry.We show that such a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian is pseudo-Hermitian. The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian can be easily obtained from those of its parent Hermitian Hamiltonian. It provides a way to generate a class of non-Hermitian models with a tunable full real band structure by means of additional imaginary potentials.We also present an illustrative example that could achieve a cone structure from the energy band of a two-layer Hermitian square lattice model.
