Parabolic Hall Effect due to Co-Propagating Surface Modes
arXiv:1911.08982 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.2.012071
Abstract
Real-space separations of counter-moving states to opposite surfaces or edges are associated with different types of Hall effects, such as the quantum-, spin-, or the anomalous Hall effect. Some systems provide the possibility to separate a fraction of countermovers in a completely different fashion: Surface states propagating all in the same direction, balanced by counter-moving bulk states, realized, e.g., in Weyl metals with intrinsically or extrinsically broken inversion and time-reversal symmetries. In this work we show that these co-propagating surface modes are associated with a novel Hall effect --- a parabolic potential profile in the direction perpendicular to and in its magnitude linear in the applied field. While in 2D systems the parabolic potential profile is measurable directly, in 3D the resulting voltage between bulk and surface is measurable in the geometry of a hollow cylinder. Moreover, the parabolic Hall effect leads to characteristic signatures in the longitudinal conductivity.
