Chiral phononic and electronic edge modes of EuPtSi
arXiv:2409.12807 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.111.165132
Abstract
Systems with P23 symmetry are characterized by the realization of chiral edge modes, propagating in one direction along closed loops around some high symmetry points of the Brillouin zone. We study the phononic and electronic properties of EuPtSi, which crystallizes with P23 symmetry. EuPtSi is also characterized by intriguing magnetic properties, such as the realization of the skyrmion lattice. Here, using ab initio techniques, we study bulk and slab properties of EuPtSi. The bulk phononic and electronic band structures exhibit a spin-1 Weyl point and a charge-2 Dirac point at the and R points, respectively. Consequently, the surface states exhibit chiral edge modes. Such features are present in both the phononic and electronic surface spectra. The chiral phononic edge mode is associated with the vibration of the atoms in close vicinity, while the chiral electronic surface states correspond to carrier accumulation at the edge of chiral atomic chains.
