First, the eigenvalues of the problem under consideration are made to coincide with the eigenvalues of the operator by introducing a suitable Hilbert space and defining a new self-adjoint operator on it. Then some properties of the eigenvalues are obtained by constructing the basic solution. Finally, Green’s function and the resolvent operator of the problem are given.

From Dirac’s Aether to the Dirac Equation

In 1951, Dirac proposed a formalism for a Lorentz invariant Aether with a vacuum state that contains all possible velocity states at each space-time point. Dirac showed no explicit path from the Aether towards the Quantum Mechanics. In this paper, we demonstrate that Dirac’s proposed Aether can be described by a lattice of possible events in space-time built in the local Lorentz frame. The idealised case of single velocity state leads to the famous Dirac equation for a plane wave state and is compatible with quantum statistics. On the lattice, possible space-time events are connected by the Dirac spinors which provide the probability of observing an event. The inertial mass of a particle is shown to be equivalent to the density of possible events on the lattice. Variation of the lattice density of events modifies the metric and provides a space-time curvature leading to the Hilbert action associated with general relativity. In classical limit, the perturbation in the density of possible events of the Aether is proportional to the Newtonian gravitational potential.

Magnetic Topological Dirac Semimetal Transition Driven by SOC in EuMg_(2)Bi_(2)

Magnetic topological semimetals have been at the forefront of condensed matter physics due to their ability to exhibit exotic transport phenomena.Investigating the interplay between magnetic and topological orders in systems with broken time-reversal symmetry is crucial for realizing non-trivial quantum effects.We delve into the electronic structure of the rare-earth-based antiferromagnetic Dirac semimetal EuMg_(2)Bi_(2) using first-principles calculations and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy.Our calculations reveal that the spin-orbit coupling(SOC)in EuMg_(2)Bi_(2) prompts an insulator to topological semimetal transition,with the Dirac bands protected by crystal symmetries.The linearly dispersive states near the Fermi level,primarily originating from Bi 6p orbitals,are observed on both the(001)and(100)surfaces,confirming that EuMg_(2)Bi_(2) is a three-dimensional topological Dirac semimetal.This research offers pivotal insights into the interplay between magnetism,SOC and topological phase transitions in spintronics applications.

Single pair of charge-2 Dirac and charge-2Weyl phonons in GeO_(2)

The presence of a pair of Weyl and Dirac points(WP-DP)in topological semimetal states is intriguing and sought after due to the effects associated with chiral topological charges.However,identifying these states in real materials poses a significant challenge.In this study,by means of first-principles calculations we predict the coexistence of charge-2 Dirac and charge-2 Weyl phonons at high-symmetry points within a noncentrosymmetric P4_(1)2_(1)2 space group.Furthermore,we propose GeO_(2)as an ideal candidate for realizing these states.Notably,we observe two distinct surface arcs that connect the Dirac and Weyl points across the entire Brillouin zone,which could facilitate their detection in future experimental investigations.This study not only presents a tangible material for experimentalists to explore the topological properties of WP-DP states but also opens up new avenues in the quest for ideal platforms to study chiral particles.

Photoinduced Floquet higher-order Weyl semimetal in C_(6) symmetric Dirac semimetals

Topological Dirac semimetals are a parent state from which other exotic topological phases of matter, such as Weyl semimetals and topological insulators, can emerge. In this study, we investigate a Dirac semimetal possessing sixfold rotational symmetry and hosting higher-order topological hinge Fermi arc states, which is irradiated by circularly polarized light. Our findings reveal that circularly polarized light splits each Dirac node into a pair of Weyl nodes due to the breaking of time-reversal symmetry, resulting in the realization of the Weyl semimetal phase. This Weyl semimetal phase exhibits rich boundary states, including two-dimensional surface Fermi arc states and hinge Fermi arc states confined to six hinges.Furthermore, by adjusting the incident direction of the circularly polarized light, we can control the degree of tilt of the resulting Weyl cones, enabling the realization of different types of Weyl semimetals.

Equivalence of the Aharonov-Bohm and Dirac Monopole Potentials

The Aharonov-Bohm effect (experimentally verified) constitutes an undubitable proof of the non local nature of quantum mechanics and of the gauge character of the electromagnetic interaction. On the other hand, the existence of a Dirac monopole (not yet experimentally confirmed) leads to the quantization of the electric charge. Both phenomena can be mathematically described in the context of fiber bundle theory. Using this approach, we briefly review the mutual determination of the corresponding connections ωA−B, ωDand potentials AA−B±, AD±. This mathematical result gives an additional theoretical support to present day active search of the magnetic charge.

Controllable optical bistability in a Fabry-Pérot cavity with a nonlinear three-dimensional Dirac semimetal

Optical bistability(OB)is capable of rapidly and reversibly transforming a parameter of an optical signal from one state to another,and homologous nonlinear optical bistable devices are core components of high-speed all-optical communication and all-optical networks.In this paper,we theoretically investigated the controllable OB from a Fabry-Pérot(FP)cavity with a nonlinear three-dimensional Dirac semimetal(3D DSM)in the terahertz band.The OB stems from the third-order nonlinear bulk conductivity of the 3D DSM and the resonance mode has a positive effect on the generation of OB.This FP cavity structure is able to tune the OB because the transmittance and the reflectance can be modulated by the Fermi energy of the 3D DSM.We believe that this FP cavity configuration could provide a reference concept for realizing tunable bistable devices.

Dirac method for nonlinear and non-homogenous boundary value problems of plates

The boundary value problem plays a crucial role in the analytical investigation of continuum dynamics. In this paper, an analytical method based on the Dirac operator to solve the nonlinear and non-homogeneous boundary value problem of rectangular plates is proposed. The key concept behind this method is to transform the nonlinear or non-homogeneous part on the boundary into a lateral force within the governing function by the Dirac operator, which linearizes and homogenizes the original boundary, allowing one to employ the modal superposition method for obtaining solutions to reconstructive governing equations. Once projected into the modal space, the harmonic balance method(HBM) is utilized to solve coupled ordinary differential equations(ODEs)of truncated systems with nonlinearity. To validate the convergence and accuracy of the proposed Dirac method, the results of typical examples, involving nonlinearly restricted boundaries, moment excitation, and displacement excitation, are compared with those of the differential quadrature element method(DQEM). The results demonstrate that when dealing with nonlinear boundaries, the Dirac method exhibits more excellent accuracy and convergence compared with the DQEM. However, when facing displacement excitation, there exist some discrepancies between the proposed approach and simulations;nevertheless, the proposed method still accurately predicts resonant frequencies while being uniquely capable of handling nonuniform displacement excitations. Overall, this methodology offers a convenient way for addressing nonlinear and non-homogenous plate boundaries.

Coexistence of Dirac and Weyl points in non-centrosymmetric semimetal NbIrTe_(4)

Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations methods,we investigate the electronic structures and topological properties of ternary tellurides NbIrTe_(4),a candidate for type-II Weyl semimetal.We demonstrate the presence of several Fermi arcs connecting their corresponding Weyl points on both termination surfaces of the topological material.Our analysis reveals the existence of Dirac points,in addition to Weyl points,giving both theoretical and experimental evidences of the coexistence of Dirac and Weyl points in a single material.These findings not only confirm NbIrTe_(4) as a unique topological semimetal but also open avenues for exploring novel electronic devices based on its coexisting Dirac and Weyl fermions.

Operators of quantum theory of Dirac's free field

The Pryce(e)spin and position operators of the quantum theory of Dirac's free field were re-defined and studied recently with the help of a new spin symmetry and suitable spectral representations[Eur.Phys.J.C 82,1073(2022)].This approach is generalized here,associating a pair of integral operators acting directly on particle and antiparticle wave spinors in momentum representation to any integral operator in configuration representation,acting on mode spinors.This framework allows an effective quantization procedure,giving a large set of one-particle operators with physical meaning as the spin and orbital parts of the isometry generators,the Pauli-Lubanski and position operators,or other spin-type operators proposed to date.Special attention is paid to the operators that mix the particle and antiparticle sectors whose off-diagonal associated operators have oscillating terms producing Zitterbevegung.The principal operators of this type,including the usual coordinate operator,are derived here for the first time.As an application,it is shown that an apparatus measuring these new observables may prepare and detect oneparticle wave packets moving uniformly without Zitterbewegung or spin dynamics,spreading in time normally as any other relativistic or even non-relativistic wave packet.

Massive Dirac particles based on gapped graphene with Rosen-Morse potential in a uniform magnetic field

We explore the gapped graphene structure in the two-dimensional plane in the presence of the Rosen-Morse potential and an external uniform magnetic field.In order to describe the corresponding structure,we consider the propagation of electrons in graphene as relativistic fermion quasi-particles,and analyze it by the wave functions of two-component spinors with pseudo-spin symmetry using the Dirac equation.Next,to solve and analyze the Dirac equation,we obtain the eigenvalues and eigenvectors using the Legendre differential equation.After that,we obtain the bounded states of energy depending on the coefficients of Rosen-Morse and magnetic potentials in terms of quantum numbers of principal n and spin-orbit k.Then,the values of the energy spectrum for the ground state and the first excited state are calculated,and the wave functions and the corresponding probabilities are plotted in terms of coordinates r.In what follows,we explore the band structure of gapped graphene by the modified dispersion relation and write it in terms of the two-dimensional wave vectors K_(x) and K_(y).Finally,the energy bands are plotted in terms of the wave vectors K_(x) and K_(y) with and without the magnetic term.
