BBH模型的nested Wilson loop高阶不变量(附Python代码)

BBH模型和态密度分布参考这篇:BBH高阶拓扑绝缘体模型(附Python代码)。BBH模型和nested Wilson loop公式见参考文献[1-3]。本篇计算的nested Wilson loop仅仅是考虑能带非简并的情况。

一、能带

先画个能带。为了避免重复写代码,可以调用开源软件包Guan中的函数( https://py.guanjihuan.com)。

运算结果:

说明:

(1)代码中有些是对本征值做了重复计算,但为了代码直观就不做过多的优化。

(2)这里为了打开简并,打破了x方向的镜面对称性( x_symmetry_breaking_2 = 0.0000000000001 ),所以p_x_for_nu_y(p_{x}^{v_{y}^{\pm}})没法保证是量子化。而由于y方向的镜面对称仍然保留,因此p_y_for_nu_y (p_{y}^{v_{x}^{\pm}}) 是量子化的,即[2]:

p_{y}^{v_{x}^{\pm}}\overset{M_{y}}{=}0\ \mathrm{or} \ 1/2 \  \mathrm{mod} \ 1.

(3)以下的代码是处理能带简并时最简单情况,只做个波函数对调,仅做参考:

if kx == -pi:
    vector1_array.append(eigenvector[:, 0])
    vector2_array.append(eigenvector[:, 1])
elif kx != pi:
    # 这里的判断是为了处理能带简并时最简单情况,只做个顺序对调。如果只是顺序反了,内积接近0。但实际会更复杂,不只是顺序的问题,而且任意的线性组合。
    if np.abs(np.dot(vector1_array[-1].transpose().conj(), eigenvector[:, 0]))>0.5:
        vector1_array.append(eigenvector[:, 0])
        vector2_array.append(eigenvector[:, 1])
    else:
        vector1_array.append(eigenvector[:, 1])
        vector2_array.append(eigenvector[:, 0])
else:
    # 这里是为了-pi和pi有相同的波函数,使得Wilson loop的值与波函数规范无关。
    vector1_array.append(vector1_array[0])
    vector2_array.append(vector2_array[0])

(4)对于简并的情况,能带波函数可能需要旋转/幺正变换,得到固定的一个波函数基[3]。在这篇“非简并波函数和简并波函数的固定规范”中,给出了具体的代码。但用上这个固定规范后似乎也不能给出正确的结果,暂时还不知道怎么处理,暂且搁置了。

49 thoughts on “BBH模型的nested Wilson loop高阶不变量(附Python代码)”

  1. 老师,在计算嵌套威尔逊环时,体系的哈密顿量为什么要这样写,为什么和计算能带和威尔逊环时写法不一样?另外,文章计算(Benalcazar, Bernevig, Hughes, Science 357,61–66 (2017))极化P_y_vx,公式显示对kx求和或者是积分,而您的代码中在哪里体现这个求和?
    def hamiltonian(kx, ky): # BBH model
    # label of atoms in a unit cell
    # (2) —— (0)
    # | |
    # (1) —— (3)
    gamma_x = 0.5 # hopping inside one unit cell
    lambda_x = 1 # hopping between unit cells
    gamma_y = gamma_x
    lambda_y = lambda_x
    x_symmetry_breaking_1 = 0.000000000000 # default (not breaking): zero
    x_symmetry_breaking_2 = 1.0000000000001 # default (not breaking): unity
    y_symmetry_breaking_1 = 0.000000000000 # default (not breaking): zero
    y_symmetry_breaking_2 = 1.000000000000 # default (not breaking): unity
    h = np.zeros((4, 4), dtype=complex)
    h[0, 0] = x_symmetry_breaking_1
    h[1, 1] = y_symmetry_breaking_1
    h[2, 2] = y_symmetry_breaking_1
    h[3, 3] = x_symmetry_breaking_1
    h[0, 2] = (gamma_x+lambda_x*cmath.exp(1j*kx))*y_symmetry_breaking_2
    h[1, 3] = gamma_x+lambda_x*cmath.exp(-1j*kx)
    h[0, 3] = gamma_y+lambda_y*cmath.exp(1j*ky)
    h[1, 2] = (-gamma_y-lambda_y*cmath.exp(-1j*ky))*x_symmetry_breaking_2
    h[2, 0] = np.conj(h[0, 2])
    h[3, 1] = np.conj(h[1, 3])
    h[3, 0] = np.conj(h[0, 3])
    h[2, 1] = np.conj(h[1, 2])
    return h

    1. 因为这边我暂时无法处理能带简并的情况,所以通过微扰的方法打开能带简并。如果有其他方法可以计算,那么就不需要这么写。

      log的加法体现在循环乘积:W_y_k_for_nu_x = F_for_nu_x*W_y_k_for_nu_x

  2. 作者您好,我想请问下这里最后说的:打破了x方向的镜面对称性,所以p_x_for_nu_y(p_{x}^{v_{y}^{\pm}})没法保证是量子化。而由于y方向的镜面对称仍然保留,因此p_y_for_nu_y (p_{y}^{v_{x}^{\pm}}) 是量子化的。
    但是如果两个方向的镜面对称性都不破坏,为什么两个极化都不是量子化的呢?如果按照分析的话,应该p_x_for_nu_y和p_y_for_nu_y 两个都应该是量子化的,但是画图来看又不是?

    1. 如果两个方向的镜面对称性都不破坏,结果应该是量子化的。这里算的之所以没有量子化,是因为这时候能带存在简并,波函数不好区分处理,所以这时候数值计算结果是错误的。我暂时还不清楚怎么处理这个简并问题,这边只是算了下非简并的情况,所以要打破一些对称性。

  3. 作者您好,请问一下,在一个正方形系统中,如果仅有两个角存在简并的角态,是否可以用nested wilson loop方法表征拓扑不变量

    1. 这个我不清楚,可以试着算下,看是否存在这个不变量。或者可能有新的拓扑不变量。

  4. 关老师,如果是6*6的矩阵,占据态的数目为3,在求解嵌套的wilson loop时,此时占据态波函数数目取1吗?

    1. 看得到的nu_x或nu_y中价带占据态有几个吧,可能是1,也可能是2,取决于多出的一条带在哪个位置,以及自己想要考虑什么样的问题。

      1. 你这里可以计算实空间的 edge polarization 么?也就是说横坐标是 X 方向的格点数。

              1. 关老师,我按照您这个Nested Wilson loop写了这个BBH模型在半开边界条件下的边界极化。按照公式的定义写出来但是算的不对。能麻烦您帮我看一下吗?算了快一周不知道哪里写的有问题。

                参考文献

                1. 不好意思,发重复了,第一次没有上传成功。参考文献是采参考资料[2]

  5. 你好,请问可以利用这种方法计算高阶拓扑半金属中Weyl点的拓扑荷数吗,其思路是否类似?

  6. 关老师您好,我最近在研究拓扑绝缘体的极化时遇到一些问题,想请假一下您。就是对于某些二维模型,比如二维SSH模型,其边界态可以由对应方向的极化来解释,但是如果把边界取成正方形对角线方向,依然有局域的边界态,但沿着新的边界方向并没有之前的极化;再比如BBH四极矩模型,沿着对角线方向取边界也会有局域态,但沿着新边界(虽然我不确定能不能这么算)算nested Wilson loops对应的极化也消失了。但是模型bulk的性质并没发生改变。所以对于新边界上的边界态似乎没有对应的极化可以描述,是否有别的方法能解释这些特殊边界态呢?

    1. 我不确定你算的对不对。如果考虑斜对角,布里渊其还是原来的形状,所以在求nested Wilson loops的时候要注意k的范围。

      1. 嗯我知道布里渊区是之前的形状,但毕竟我想求对角线方向上的nested Wilson loops的极化,所以我把布里渊区分割拼接成一个斜的长方形(宽1/sqrt(2),长2/sqrt(2)),然后对角线方向就和长方形的长宽对应了,之后我再算nested Wilson loops的极化,就消失了,但边界态还在。您觉得我这样处理有问题吗

        1. 我觉得可能没什么问题,计算结果好像也是正常的,因为这样算的极化对应的“角态”在物理上就不是原来那个位置,所以没有量子化。拓扑平庸的边界态很常见,不代表什么。

    1. 简并问题还没解决。目前暂时没做这方面的,之后如果解决了会更新。

  7. 作者您可以了解一下实空间中体四极矩qxy拓扑不变量,和嵌套威尔逊环等价,但某些情况下更鲁棒性
    DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.125.166801
    DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.101.195309

          1. 能否请教下代码里的求Qxy好像没有像文章公式里乘根号下对角酉矩阵Q。这是为什么呢

  8. 关老师,我想请教一下,算完wilson矩阵的本征后不是已经算是得出wannier了吗?为什么还要加入下面这段代码呢?
    for i0 in range(2):
    if np.real(nu_x[i0]) < 0:
    nu_x[i0] += 1
    nu_x = np.sort(nu_x)
    nu_x_array.append(nu_x.real)

    1. 本征值有一个负值,由于在定义上只关心mod 1后的量,所以可以把负数改为正数。后面是对本征值进行排序,方便画图用的,不然连线会来回跳跃。

  9. 你好,请问对于非四方布里渊区的体系,比如kagome晶格的六边形布里渊区,在计算Wilson loop的时候如何确定loop的方向?

  10. Hi, 我加你微信了 再次通过您的代码学习了很多
    简并情况我尝试了一下 通过简并微扰论貌似可以区分这写简并态
    结果我发您邮箱吧 有空我们可以讨论讨论

  11. 威尔逊环怎么看呢?或者怎么判断体系的拓扑性质呢?怎么预测角态边界态呢?

    1. 看下参考文献。计算对应的高阶拓扑不变量可以预测该拓扑性质,如果高阶拓扑不变量不为零,则存在量子化的角态。
