报告摘要:
Recent discoveries in three-dimensional topological crystalline insulators (TCIs) have unveiled novel spin-resolved phases: 3D quantum spin Hall insulators (QSHIs), “spin-Weyl” semimetals, and T-doubled axion insulator (T-DAXI) states with nontrivial partial axion angles indicative of a 3D spin-magnetoelectric bulk response and half-quantized 2D TI surface states originating from a partial parity anomaly. First, we discover that inversion-symmetry indicated helical HOTIs realize one of three spin-resolved phases. Supported by ab-initio calculations and STM measurements, we demonstrate that bulk α-Bi4I4 (SG C2/m) with trivial symmetry indicators hosts 3D QSHI with robust helical edge states, whose topology originates solely from a nonzero spin Chern number. Our results provide a pathway for realizing nearly quantized spin Hall conductivity per unit cell in a bulk crystal.
Second, we explore how T-DAXI phases are protected by nonsymmorphic symmetries (glide or screw). In nonsymmorphic TCIs (δh =1 or δs = 1), partial axion angles for some spin directions are quantized by the symmetries (gy or s2T). This topology yields a novel topological spin magnetoelectric effect. Using ab-initio calculations, we demonstrate that mixed bismuth monohalides Bi4Br3I (or Bi4BrI3) synthesized in space group Cmc21 is a nonsymmorphic TCI, realizing the symmetry-indicated T-DAXI phase. Our findings not only establish a new paradigm for nonsymmorphic topological states but also introduce a highly promising platform for purely spin-based topological quantum devices.
