Abstract

Recent findings indicate that orbital angular momentum (OAM) has the capability to induce the intrinsic orbital Hall effect (OHE), which is characterized by orbital Chern number in the orbital Hall insulator. Unlike the spin-polarized channel in Quantum anomalous Hall insulator, the OAM is valley-locked, posing challenges in manipulating the corresponding edge state. Here we demonstrate the sign-reversal orbital Chern number through strain engineering by combing the $k \cdot p$ model and first-principles calculation. Under the manipulation of strain, we observe the transfer of non-zero OAM from the valence band to the conduction band, aligning with the orbital contribution in the electronic structure. Our investigation reveals that electrons and holes with OAM exhibit opposing trajectories, resulting in a reversal of the orbital Hall conductivity. Furthermore, we explore the topological quantum state between the sign-reversible OHE.

Abstract

The extragalactic background light (EBL) in the IR to UV bands partly absorbs very high energy (VHE, $E \geq$ 100GeV) $\gamma-$ray photons travelling over cosmological distances via pair production. In this paper, to get stronger constraints on EBL, we use the deliberate selection of the EBL model and data of five BL Lacs with better statistics and the harder spectra to limit the EBL density and the radiation mechanism of BL Lacs. We constrain the upper limit of the EBL density by fitting the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of TeV BL Lacs and find that our results are compatible with the published measurement, reaching 50 $\rm{nW m^{-2} sr^{-1}}$. We also obtain that the EBL is not necessarily transparent to high VHE photons. We fix the intrinsic spectral index $\Gamma_i$ of TeV BL Lacs as 1.0 and 1.5 under observation evidence and model assumption. Comparing the EBL density given by galaxy count and $Spitzer$ observations, we then obtain that 1ES 1101-232 has $\Gamma_i$ $\leq$ 1.0 and 1ES 0229+200 should have $\Gamma_i$ not harder than 1.0. We demonstrate that the common radiation assumption of BL Lacs, in which the $\Gamma_i$ is softer than 1.5, should be revisited. Furthermore, we propose that the upper EBL density could be given by fitting the hardest energy spectra of TeV BL Lacs., Comment: Accepted by MNRAS

Abstract

Very high energy (VHE; $E \geq$ 100GeV) $\gamma-$ray from cosmological distances are attenuated by the extragalactic background light (EBL) in the IR to UV band. By contrasting measured versus intrinsic emission, the EBL photon density can be derived. However, neither the intrinsic spectra nor the EBL is separately known~-~except their combined effect. Here we first present a flexible model-dependent optical depth method to study EBL by fitting the emission spectra of TeV BL Lacs objects via a one-zone leptonic synchrotron self-Compton model (SSC). We have little information about electron energy distributions (EEDs) in the jet, which is critically important to build spectral energy distributions (SEDs) in SSC scenario. Based on the current particle acceleration models, we use two types of EEDs, i,e., a power-law log-parabola (PLLP) EED and a broken power-law (BPL) EED to fit the observed spectra. We obtain that the upper limits of EBL density are around about 30 n W m$^{-2}$ sr$^{-1}$, which are similar to the published measurement. Furthermore, we propose an unprecedented method to test radiation mechanisms involved in TeV objects by simply comparing the reduced EBL density with the limit obtained by galaxy counts, and demonstrate that for some BL Lacs, at least, the one-zone SSC model should be reconsidered., Comment: Accepted by MNRAS

Abstract

The potential association between the blazar TXS 0506+056 and the neutrino event IceCube-170922A provides a unique opportunity to study the possible physical connection between the high-energy photons and neutrinos. We explore the correlated electromagnetic and neutrino emissions of blazar TXS 0506+056 by a self-consistent leptonic-hadronic model, taking into account particle stochastic acceleration and all relevant radiative processes self-consistently. The electromagnetic and neutrino spectra of blazar TXS 0506+056 are reproduced by the proton synchrotron and hybrid leptonic-hadronic models based on the proton-photon interactions. It is found that the hybrid leptonic-hadronic model can be used to better explain the observed X-ray and $\gamma$-ray spectra of blazar TXS 0506+056 than the proton synchrotron model. Moreover, the predicted neutrino spectrum of the hybrid leptonic-hadronic model is closer to the observed one compared to the proton synchrotron model. We suggest that the hybrid leptonic-hadronic model is more favored if the neutrino event IceCube-170922A is associated with the blazar TXS 0506+056., Comment: Accepted by PASJ
