Almost pure Jeff=12 Mott state of In2Ir2O7 in the limit of reduced intersite hopping

A. Krajewska, T. Takayama, R. Dinnebier, A. Yaresko, K. Ishii, M. Isobe, and H. Takagi

Phys. Rev. B 101, 121101(R) (2020) - Published 2 March, 2020

The pyrochlore iridates A2Ir2O7 are expected to host novel electronic phases due to the interplay of spin-orbit coupling and correlation on a frustrated lattice. Their properties and orbital character are reported to vary as a function of the distortion of IrO6 octahedra, which is scaled by the A cation radius. Here, the authors report a new pyrochlore iridate In2Ir2O7 at the small A cation and large distortion limit. By means of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering and band calculations they show that the orbital character of pyrochlore iridates largely depends on Ir-O-Ir intersite hopping rather than the local distortions. Furthermore, the In-O bond covalency in In2Ir2O7 suppresses this intersite hopping, generating a nearly pure Jeff=½ state, in contrast to other pyrochlore iridates.

Universal spin dynamics in infinite-temperature one-dimensional quantum magnets

Maxime Dupont and Joel E. Moore

Phys. Rev. B 101, 121106(R) (2020) - Published 12 March, 2020

The spin dynamics of strongly interacting one-dimensional quantum magnets at high-temperature displays an emergent coarse-grained hydrodynamic behavior, understood as the result of conserved quantities. Different kinds of emergent hydrodynamics can be characterized by the dynamical exponent z governing the length-time scaling x∼t1/z. Relying on extensive numerical simulations, the authors extract the exponent z for various microscopic quantum spin-S models. They identify three universal regimes for the spin transport (superdiffusive with z=3/2, ballistic with z=1, and diffusive with z=2), which depend only on the isotropy and integrability of the system, but are independent of its microscopic details.

Electrically controlled dielectric band gap engineering in a two-dimensional semiconductor

Anders C. Riis-Jensen, Jiong Lu, and Kristian S. Thygesen

Phys. Rev. B 101, 121110(R) (2020) - Published 16 March, 2020

This work proposes and investigates a new physical concept of electrically controlled dielectric band gap engineering in a two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor. The authors show, using first-principles many-body calculations, that the band gap of a 2D semiconductor can be varied by several hundred meV’s by varying the doping concentration in a supporting graphene sheet as illustrated in the accompanying image. This provides a method for continuous and dynamical insitu tuning of the band gap. Importantly, the band gap adjustment is achieved via nonlocal Coulomb interactions and does not involve changes in the atomic structure, or even the shape or hybridization pattern, of the wave functions of the 2D semiconductor.

Wigner crystals in two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides: Spin physics and readout

J. Knörzer, M. J. A. Schuetz, G. Giedke, D. S. Wild, K. De Greve, R. Schmidt, M. D. Lukin, and J. I. Cirac

Phys. Rev. B 101, 125101 (2020) - Published 3 March, 2020

This work appraises two-dimensional semiconductors as a platform for Wigner crystalization and outlines a procedure for minimally invasive all-optical detection of charge and spin ordering in such structures. For incident light with optimally chosen beam parameters and polarization, the authors predict a strong dependence of the transmitted and reflected signals on the underlying lattice periodicity, thus revealing the charge order inherent in self-assembled electron lattices. Furthermore, the spin physics of Wigner crystals in transition-metal dichalcogenides is discussed, which is of relevance for quantum simulation of spin models.

Statistical localization: From strong fragmentation to strong edge modes

Tibor Rakovszky, Pablo Sala, Ruben Verresen, Michael Knap, and Frank Pollmann

Phys. Rev. B 101, 125126 (2020) - Published 25 March, 2020

Certain disorder-free Hamiltonians are nonergodic due to a strong fragmentation of the Hilbert space. Here, the authors introduce the notion of “statistically localized integrals of motion” (SLIOM) to characterize these systems. Despite SLIOMs being nonlocal operators, they become spatially localized to subextensive regions when their expectation value is taken in typical states. These can also result in statistically localized strong zero modes, leading to topological string order for certain highly excited eigenstates as well as infinitely long-lived edge magnetization along with a thermalizing bulk.

Observation of quantum Hall interferometer phase jumps due to a change in the number of bulk quasiparticles

Phys. Rev. B 101, 125302 (2020) - Published 9 March, 2020

Quantum dots, operated at high magnetic fields, are a laboratory for intricate quantum Hall physics. Between filling factors of 1 and 2, one finds a striking similarity in the magnetotransport of a micron-sized quantum dot in the Coulomb-blockaded and the Fabry-Pérot quantum Hall interferometer regimes. Abrupt jumps of the interferometer phase relate to a change in the number of bulk quasiparticles. This paves the way for the investigation of phase shifts due to (fractional) charge redistributions in future experiments.

Gap-size dependence of optical near fields in a variable nanoscale two-tip junction

Jonas Heimerl, Takuya Higuchi, Maximilian Ammon, M. Alexander Schneider, and Peter Hommelhoff

Phys. Rev. B 101, 125403 (2020) - Published 2 March, 2020

Nanometer-sharp objects coupled with femtosecond laser pulses find much current interest because they allow us to reach high spatiotemporal control – like a needle tip enables the scanning tunneling microscope (STM). With two needles facing each other, a special nanometric gap is formed, facilitating large optical near fields. Here, the authors experimentally retrieve the optical near fields of femtosecond laser pulses present in a nanogap as a function of the gap size, bearing direct ramifications for plasmonics and strong-field physics.

Theory of quantum acoustomagnonics and acoustomechanics with a micromagnet

C. Gonzalez-Ballestero, D. Hümmer, J. Gieseler, and O. Romero-Isart

Phys. Rev. B 101, 125404 (2020) - Published 3 March, 2020

The authors outline a method to cool micromechanical resonators. It is experimentally feasible and requires neither external cavities nor feedback, thus potentially reducing the complexity of optomechanical experiments. In addition, the team proposes a novel way of accessing the internal acoustic modes of highly isolated microparticles. Both advances exploit a heretofore uncharted regime of magnon-phonon interaction. This work unveils a new playground for the implementation and use of levitated microparticles by demonstrating that internal solid-state quantum excitations can be harnessed and used as a resource.

Inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy for probing strongly correlated many-body systems by scanning tunneling microscopy

Fabian Eickhoff, Elena Kolodzeiski, Taner Esat, Norman Fournier, Christian Wagner, Thorsten Deilmann, Ruslan Temirov, Michael Rohlfing, F. Stefan Tautz, and Frithjof B. Anders

Phys. Rev. B 101, 125405 (2020) - Published 6 March, 2020

A theory for scanning tunneling spectroscopy is presented that includes elastic and inelastic electron-vibrational processes on equal footing. It is especially suited for the investigation of strongly correlated sample systems. As an example, the theory is applied to a molecular Kondo impurity, using a combination of abinitio density functional theory and numerical renormalization group to quantitatively explain the experiment. In particular, the presented approach allows to identify a vibrational sharpening of the Kondo resonance in the targeted system.

Quantum dots, operated at high magnetic fields, are a laboratory for intricate quantum Hall physics. Between filling factors of 1 and 2, one finds a striking similarity in the magnetotransport of a micron-sized quantum dot in the Coulomb-blockaded and the Fabry-Pérot quantum Hall interferometer regimes. Abrupt jumps of the interferometer phase relate to a change in the number of bulk quasiparticles. This paves the way for the investigation of phase shifts due to (fractional) charge redistributions in future experiments.

Nanometer-sharp objects coupled with femtosecond laser pulses find much current interest because they allow us to reach high spatiotemporal control – like a needle tip enables the scanning tunneling microscope (STM). With two needles facing each other, a special nanometric gap is formed, facilitating large optical near fields. Here, the authors experimentally retrieve the optical near fields of femtosecond laser pulses present in a nanogap as a function of the gap size, bearing direct ramifications for plasmonics and strong-field physics.

Theory of quantum acoustomagnonics and acoustomechanics with a micromagnet

The authors outline a method to cool micromechanical resonators. It is experimentally feasible and requires neither external cavities nor feedback, thus potentially reducing the complexity of optomechanical experiments. In addition, the team proposes a novel way of accessing the internal acoustic modes of highly isolated microparticles. Both advances exploit a heretofore uncharted regime of magnon-phonon interaction. This work unveils a new playground for the implementation and use of levitated microparticles by demonstrating that internal solid-state quantum excitations can be harnessed and used as a resource.

A theory for scanning tunneling spectroscopy is presented that includes elastic and inelastic electron-vibrational processes on equal footing. It is especially suited for the investigation of strongly correlated sample systems. As an example, the theory is applied to a molecular Kondo impurity, using a combination of abinitio density functional theory and numerical renormalization group to quantitatively explain the experiment. In particular, the presented approach allows to identify a vibrational sharpening of the Kondo resonance in the targeted system.
