Isotropic 3D topological phases with broken time reversal symmetry

Kavli Affiliate: Anton R. Akhmerov | First 5 Authors: Helene Spring, Anton R. Akhmerov, Daniel Varjas, , | Summary: Axial vectors, such as current or magnetization, are commonly used order parameters in time-reversal symmetry breaking systems. These vectors also break isotropy in three dimensional systems, lowering the spatial symmetry. We demonstrate that it is possible […]
