Topology-change surgery for crystals

Abstract: We performed the topology-change surgery for ring-shaped crystals of tantalum triselenide (TaSe 3 ) to investigate the interplay between the closed-ring topology and elasticity/plasticity of the crystals. We cut the TaSe 3 rings using a focused ion beam and observed that the curvatures of the open rings increased from their initial curvatures. We found that a change in the radius is proportional to inverse square of the thickness of the crystals, which corresponds to an inhomogeneous distribution of edge dislo… Show more

“…Topological crystals with a closed curve do not have an edge, and hence, slipping dislocations cannot exit from the crystal. When many dislocations are generated, cylinder-shaped walls of dislocations are expected to be formed as a result of the arrangement of the dislocations on parallel lines. , Here, we considered two dislocations moving on different crystal lines or planes. When the two dislocations are sufficiently far apart, a repulsive force is exerted; however, when the distance is short, an attractive force is exerted.…”

“…[16][17][18][19] Bending creates nonuniform strain along the b-axis of TaSe 3 and induces the deformation energy, thus generating defects/disorder in a crystal for relaxation. [20] Cylindrical domain walls from the edge dislocations and vortex have been suggested in ring-shaped crystals. [17] Given the observed nontrivial topological band and extremely large magnetoresistance (XMR) in as-grown ribbon-shaped samples [21][22][23] and a uniform strain-induced topological phase transition, [15] we are inspired to investigate the magnetotransport properties in ring-shaped TaSe 3 single crystals by applying magnetic field up to 60 T. Compared to as-grown unbended samples, the MR in ring-shaped samples reduces three orders of magnitude.…”
