Bad topological semimetals in layered honeycomb compounds
arXiv:2112.10455 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.105.115138
Abstract
The Mott transition in honeycomb compounds with significant spin-orbit coupling is explored. At finite temperatures we identify a novel semimetallic phase located between a topological insulator and a topological Mott insulator. This semimetal is characterized by having no charge gap, no quasiparticles and gapped spin excitations with non-trivial topological properties. While charge conduction is incoherent involving mean-free paths violating the Mott-Ioffe-Regel limit, spin excitations can be transported ballistically along the edges giving rise to a quantized spin conductance. Such bad topological semimetal could be searched for close to the Mott transition in certain twisted bilayers of transition metal dicalchogenides.
