Photonic topological insulator with broken time-reversal symmetry

Journal Article He, Cheng ; Sun, Xiao-Chen ; Liu, Xiao-Ping ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

A topological insulator is a material with an insulating interior but time-reversal symmetry-protected conducting edge states. Since its prediction and discovery almost a decade ago, such a symmetry-protected topological phase has been explored beyond electronic systems in the realm of photonics. Electrons are spin-1/2 particles, whereas photons are spin-1 particles. The distinct spin difference between these two kinds of particles means that their corresponding symmetry is fundamentally different. It is well understood that an electronic topological insulator is protected by the electron’s spin-1/2 (fermionic) time-reversal symmetry Tmore » $$2\atop{f}$$ = -1. However, the same protection does not exist under normal circumstances for a photonic topological insulator, due to photon’s spin-1 (bosonic) time-reversal symmetry T$$2\atop{b}$$ = -1. Here, we report a design of photonic topological insulator using the Tellegen magnetoelectric coupling as the photonic pseudospin orbit interaction for left and right circularly polarized helical spin states. The Tellegen magnetoelectric coupling breaks bosonic time-reversal symmetry but instead gives rise to a conserved artificial fermionic-like-pseudo time-reversal symmetry, T_p (T$$2\atop{p}$$ = -1), due to the electromagnetic duality. Surprisingly, we find that, in this system, the helical edge states are, in fact, protected by this fermionic-like pseudo time-reversal symmetry T_p rather than by the bosonic time-reversal symmetry T_b. This remarkable finding is expected to pave a new path to understanding the symmetry protection mechanism for topological phases of other fundamental particles and to searching for novel implementations for topological insulators.« less

Observation of Surface-Induced Broken Time-Reversal Symmetry in YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7} Tunnel Junctions

Journal Article Covington, M ; Aprili, M ; Paraoanu, E ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Data from ab -oriented YBa{sub 2}Cu {sub 3}O{sub 7}/I/Cu tunnel junctions are presented. Self-assembled monolayers form the insulating tunnel barrier, I. The YBa{sub 2}Cu {sub 3}O{sub 7} features in the tunneling conductance match those of low-leakage ab -oriented YBa{sub 2}Cu {sub 3}O{sub 7}/Pb junctions. Results show that the zero-bias conductance peak is an Andreev bound state (ABS) of a d -wave order parameter. In {ital zero} magnetic field, the ABS splits below {approximately}7 K , consistent with the presence of a subdominant order parameter at the surface. An applied magnetic field induces further splitting that grows nonlinearly with increasing field.more »« less

Broken time-reversal symmetry in the topological superconductor UPt₃

Journal Article Avers, Keenan E. ; Gannon, William J. ; Kuhn, Stephen J. ; ... - Nature Physics

Topological properties of materials are of fundamental as well as practical importance. Of particular interest are unconventional superconductors that break time-reversal symmetry, for which the superconducting state is protected topologically and vortices can host Majorana fermions with potential use in quantum computing. However, in striking contrast to the unconventional A phase of superfluid ³He where chiral symmetry was directly observed, identification of broken time-reversal symmetry of the superconducting order parameter, a key component of chiral symmetry, has presented a challenge in bulk materials. The two leading candidates for bulk chiral superconductors are UPt₃ and Sr₂RuO₄, although evidence for broken time-reversalmore »« less
