New Method to Detect Topological Invariants in Quantum Materials

Recent advancements in quantum materials research have revealed a novel method for identifying topological invariants. These invariants are properties of topological spaces that remain unchanged through continuous transformations. Topological materials are crucial for the development of technologies such as quantum computing and energy-efficient systems. However, their unique properties have historically been difficult to detect.



About Topological Invariants

Topological invariants are fundamental characteristics that define the shape of materials at the quantum level. They are not influenced by external appearances but are intrinsic to the material’s structure. A common analogy is the comparison between a donut and a coffee cup. Both have one hole and are thus topologically equivalent. In contrast, a wada and an idli are not equivalent due to differing hole counts.

Significance of Topological Materials

Topological materials, including topological insulators and superconductors, exhibit unusual electronic behaviours. The properties of these materials are determined by topological invariants like winding numbers and Chern numbers. These numbers govern how electrons behave in different shapes of materials, affecting their potential applications in technology.

New Detection Method

Researchers from the Raman Research Institute have introduced an innovative approach to detect topological invariants using the spectral function. This function acts as a quantum fingerprint, revealing how energy and particles interact within a material. The study, led by Professor Dibyendu Roy and PhD student Kiran Babasaheb Estake, demonstrates that the spectral function can provide vital information about the topology of various materials.

Advantages Over Traditional Techniques

Traditionally, techniques like Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES) were employed to study electron behaviour. However, the new method marks that the spectral function can also unveil topological features. This breakthrough could facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of topological materials, leading to new discoveries in condensed matter physics.

Implications for Future Technology

The ability to detect topological invariants could revolutionise the field of quantum computing and next-generation electronics. By providing a universal tool for exploring topological materials, this research may lead to advancements in energy-efficient systems and innovative technologies.

Physicists observe a new form of magnetism for the first time

MIT physicists have demonstrated a new form of magnetism that could one day be harnessed to build faster, denser, and less power-hungry " spintronic " memory chips. The new magnetic state is a mash-up of two main forms of magnetism: the ferromagnetism of everyday fridge magnets and compass needles, and antiferromagnetism, in which materials have magnetic properties at the microscale yet are not macroscopically magnetized. Now, the MIT team has demonstrated a new form of magnetism , termed "p-wave magnetism." Physicists have long observed that electrons of atoms in regular ferromagnets share the same orientation of "spin," like so many tiny compasses pointing in the same direction. This spin alignment generates a magnetic field, which gives a ferromagnet its inherent magnetism. Electrons belonging to magnetic atoms in an antiferromagnet also have spin, although these spins alternate, with electrons orbiting neighboring atoms aligning their spins antiparalle...

Freezing light? Italian scientists froze fastest thing in universe, here’s how

In a rare occurrence, physics made it possible to control the fastest travelling element - light. Italian scientists have managed to freeze the light, as per reports. A recent study published in a British weekly journal reportedly revealed that light can exhibit ‘ supersolid behavior ’ a unique state of matter that flows without friction while retaining a solid-like structure. The research, led by Antonio Gianfate from CNR Nanotec and Davide Nigro from the University of Pavia, marks a significant step in understanding supersolidity in light. The scientists described their findings as “just the beginning” of this exploration, as per reports. In what can be termed as ‘manipulating photons under controlled quantum conditions ’, the scientists demonstrated that light, too, can exhibit this behaviour. (A photon is a bundle of electromagnetic energy which is massless, and travel at the speed of light) How did scientists freeze light? As we know, freezing involves lowering a liquid’s tempera...
