Topological Currents in Solids Multiband Effect and Band
Topological Currents in Solids - Multi-band Effect and Band Crossings Dec. 20 @HKU Naoto Nagaosa 永長 直人 Department of Applied Physics The University of Tokyo
What I learned at MIT Gauge field structure in strongly correlated electronic systems Spin metals, spin superconductors etc. Look at “conventional” materials from the new eyes of strong correlation physics Hopefully predict new functions/phenomena
Electron Wavepacket Dynamics in solids group velocity wave packet Boltzmann transport equation Totally-filled band does not contribute to current. Only energy dispersion matters ?
Intra- and Inter-band matrix elements of current Wavefunction matters !! wave packet Even a filled band can support current e. g. , polarization current quantum Hall current
Correct equation of motion taking into account inter-band matrix element k-space curvature anomalous velocity Luttinger, Blount, Niu r-space curvature Origin of the k-space curvature = interband current matrix How the wavefunction is connected in k-space Berry phase
Geometry on sphere – Parallel transport of vector C Constrained onto sub-Hilbert-space
3 Kinds of Current in Solids 1. Ohmic (transport) Current Dissipation/Joul heating in nonequilibrium state 2. Topological Current Due to multi-band effect/Berry phase Dissipationless in equilibrium The occupied states contribute Berry phase 3. Superconducting Current / Diamagnetic Current Dissipationless in equilibrium Responding to A
B(k) diverges at band crossing C Energy degeneracy point = Magnetic monopole Gauge Flux = Solid angle Breakdown of semi-classical Boltzmann approach
When the band crossing occurs ? (with spin-orbit int. ) tune 5 parameters àNeed for symmetry reason Kramer’s double degeneracy tune 3 parameters accidental degeneracy No degeneracy

Advantages of Spin Hall Effect Manipulation of spins by purely electric method without magnetic field/magnets Small scale spintronics devices with ordinary materials Spin current can be dissipationless in sharp contrast to charge current Functionality with low energy cost ohmic dissipationless Driven by the spin-orbit interaction with large energy scale Function at room temperature
Spin Hall Effect in p-Ga. As x: current direction y: spin direction z: electric field SU(2) analog of the QHE • topological origin • dissipationless • Occupied HH and LH bands have opposite contributions. • Spin current is time-reversal even Ga.

Mesoscopic Spin Hall Effect Impurity scattering, electrodes, leads, sample edge Keldysh formalism spin density spin current voltage spin current Spin-orbit int. produces spin current but relaxes spin accumulation. Spin accumulation is due to the dissipation (charge current). Spin accumulation Intrinsic one dominates in Luttinger (p-type) and is much larger than extrinsic one in n-type Luttinger model Rashba model Hitachi-Cambridge exp. Is consistent with the present calculation and intrinsic SHE. Relaxation rate M. Onoda and N. N. PRB(05 )
