核心概念
本研究探討了磁性拓撲絕緣體中的集體激發,特別是一種被認為是「軸子」準粒子的振幅模,並發現其與電磁場的耦合強度比先前估計值高出四個數量級,這可能大幅改變利用磁性拓撲絕緣體搜尋軸子暗物質的靈敏度。
統計資料
「軸子」準粒子與電磁場的有效耦合強度比先前估計值高出四個數量級。
引述
“The ‘axion’ couples to the electromagnetic field and Ref. [1] proposed an axion search in the mass range of meV using the magnetic topological insulators (TIs).”
“In this paper, we investigate possible collective excitations in the magnetic TI model and study their impact on the axion detection.”
“We identify one of the amplitude modes as ‘axion’ and one of the magnons also can play the role of ‘axion’ in a specific case.”
