Optical N-plasmon: topological hydrodynamic excitations in graphene from repulsive Hall viscosity
New Journal of Physics(2023)
摘要
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 was proposed. Optical N-invariant arises from repulsive Hall viscosity in hydrodynamic many-body electron systems, distinct from the Chern and Z 2 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 unique dispersion relations, stability against various boundary conditions, and edge profiles when compared with 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 topological electromagnetic phases occurring in 2D materials arising from repulsive Hall viscosity.
