Abstract /报告摘要：

Exciton dissociation by edge states can enhance the power conversion efficiency of solar cells. To evaluate the potential of this mechanism for carbon nanotubes as absorber material, we show that the topology of carbon nanotubes can be characterized by winding numbers related to the orbital angular momentum. The tight-binding Hamiltonian of any carbon nanotube with CN symmetry can be represented by N tight-binding Hamiltonians of decoupled molecular chains, for which a pseudospin formulation, characterized by specific paths in a two-dimensional auxiliary space, is developed. The quantum phases are given by the N winding numbers of these paths. The paths rotate in the auxiliary space when a magnetic field of varying strength is applied along the carbon nanotube, which gives rise to quantum phase transitions.

边缘态的激子解离可以提高太阳能电池的功率转换效率。为了评估这种机制在碳纳米管作为吸收材料方面的潜力，我们证明了碳纳米管的拓扑结构可以用与轨道角动量相关的缠绕数来表征。任何具有 CN 对称性的碳纳米管的紧束缚哈密顿都可以用 N 个解耦分子链的紧束缚哈密顿来表示。量子相位由这些路径的 N 个缠绕数给出。当沿碳纳米管施加不同强度的磁场时，这些路径会在辅助空间中旋转，从而产生量子相变。
