Abstract

Efforts to find the magnetic monopole in real space have been made in cosmic rays and in particle accelerators, but there has not yet been any firm evidence for its existence because of its very heavy mass, ∼10 16 giga–electron volts. We show that the magnetic monopole can appear in the crystal momentum space of solids in the accessible low-energy region (∼0.1 to 1 electron volts) in the context of the anomalous Hall effect. We report experimental results together with first-principles calculations on the ferromagnetic crystal SrRuO 3 that provide evidence for the magnetic monopole in the crystal momentum space.

  5. It has been recognized in the original paper by Berry ( 25 ) that the degeneracy point in the parameter space acts as a MM where the gauge field is enhanced.

  21. This gauge field is distinct from that of the magnetic field B ( r ) in real space although they are analogous to each other. In the presence of B ( r ) the covariant momentum operator π μ is given by π μ = – i δ zμ + eA μ ( r ) where B = ∇ × A . This leads to the commutation relation [π x π y ] =– ie (∂ x A y –∂ y A x ) =– ieB z etc. and to the Lorenz force due to the magnetic field B . Therefore these two gauge fields b μ ( k ) and B ( r ) are dual to each other and the presence of the one does not necessarily mean that of the other.
  22. More Ca-doped samples with different concentrations have been measured. They all follow the same trend and are not shown here because of space limitations.
