Optical N-plasmon: Topological hydrodynamic excitations in Graphene from repulsive Hall viscosity
arXiv:2307.00218 · doi:10.1088/1367-2630/ad04bc
Abstract
Edge states occurring in Chern and quantum spin-Hall phases are signatures of the topological electronic band structure in two-dimensional (2D) materials. Recently, a new topological electromagnetic phase of graphene characterized by the optical N-invariant has been proposed. Optical N-invariant arises from repulsive Hall viscosity in hydrodynamic many-body electron systems, fundamentally different from the Chern and Z2 invariants. In this paper, we introduce the topologically protected edge excitation -- optical N-plasmon of interacting many-body electron systems in the topological optical N-phase. These optical N-plasmons are signatures of the topological plasmonic band structure in 2D materials. We demonstrate that optical N-plasmons exhibit fundamentally different dispersion relations, stability, and edge profiles from the topologically trivial edge magneto plasmons. Based on the optical N-plasmon, we design an ultra sub-wavelength broadband topological hydrodynamic circulator, which is a chiral quantum radio-frequency circuit component crucial for information routing and interfacing quantum-classical computing systems. Furthermore, we reveal that optical N-plasmons can be effectively tuned by the neighboring dielectric environment without breaking the topological properties. Our work provides a smoking gun signature of repulsive Hall viscosity and opens practical applications of topological electromagnetic phases of two-dimensional materials.
