Parity anomaly driven topological transitions in magnetic field — •Jan Böttcher, Christian Tutschku, and Ewelina M. Hankiewicz — Institut für Theoretische Physik und Astronomie, Uni Würzburg, 97074 Würzburg, Germany

Recent developments in solid state physics give a prospect to observe the parity anomaly in (2+1)D massive Dirac systems. We show, that the charge neutrality condition for a quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) state in orbital magnetic fields gets modified by an additional term originating from an intrinsic Chern-Simons term in the one loop Lagrangian. This can be utilized to experimentally differentiate the QAH from the quantum Hall (QH) state at charge neutrality [1]. As a result, an experimental signature of the QAH phase in magnetic fields is a long σxy= e2/hxy= −e2/h) plateau in Crx(Bi1−ySby)2−xTe3 (HgMnTe quantum wells). Furthermore, we predict a new transition between the quantum spin Hall (QSH) and the QAH state in magnetic fields without magnetic impurities but driven by effective g-factors and particle-hole asymmetry.
