Synthetic dimensions and topological chiral currents in mesoscopic rings
arXiv:1907.04231 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.2.032017
Abstract
The recently-introduced concept of "synthetic dimensions" allows for the realization of higher-dimensional topological phenomena in lower-dimensional systems. In this work we study the complementary aspect that synthetic dimensions provide a natural route to topological states in mesoscopic hybrid devices. We demonstrate this for the current induced into a closed one-dimensional Aharonov-Bohm ring by the interaction with a dynamic mesoscopic magnet. The quantization of the magnetic moment provides a synthetic dimension that complements the charge motion around the ring. We present a direct mapping that places the combined ring-magnet system into the class of quantum Hall models, and demonstrate that topological features, combined with the magnet's anisotropy, can lead to clear signatures in the persistent current of the single-particle ground state.
