EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Prediction of perovskite-related structures in $A {CuO}_{3 - x}$ ( $A$ = Ca, Sr, Ba, Sc, Y, La) using density functional theory and Bayesian optimization

Atsuto Seko and Shintaro Ishiwata

Phys. Rev. B 101, 134101 (2020) - Published 6 April, 2020

Here, the authors predict the stability of oxygen-deficient perovskite structures in cuprates by density functional theory calculations. They introduce a combination of cluster expansion, Gaussian process, and Bayesian optimization to find stable oxygen-deficient structures. The calculations not only reproduce the reported structures but suggest the presence of unknown oxygen-deficient perovskite structures, some of which are stabilized at high pressures. This work demonstrates the great applicability of the present computational procedure for the elucidation of the structural stability of strongly correlated oxides.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Fock-space correlations and the origins of many-body localization

Sthitadhi Roy and David E. Logan

Phys. Rev. B 101, 134202 (2020) - Published 23 April, 2020

The authors approach the problem of many-body localization on the Fock space, with nodes and links representing many-body states and Hamiltonian matrix-elements. The problem maps exactly onto a tight-binding model on a complex high-dimensional graph with nontrivial correlated disorder. These correlations are shown to lie at the heart of many-body localization. The central result from this theory is that the correlations in the Fock-space disorder must be maximal for a many-body localized phase to be stable.

Emergent topological spin structures in the centrosymmetric cubic perovskite ${SrFeO}_{3}$

S. Ishiwata, T. Nakajima, J.-H. Kim, D. S. Inosov, N. Kanazawa, J. S. White, J. L. Gavilano, R. Georgii, K. M. Seemann, G. Brandl, P. Manuel, D. D. Khalyavin, S. Seki, Y. Tokunaga, M. Kinoshita, Y. W. Long, Y. Kaneko, Y. Taguchi, T. Arima, B. Keimer, and Y. Tokura

Phys. Rev. B 101, 134406 (2020) - Published 6 April, 2020

The authors unveil topological spin structures composed of skyrmion strings in a cubic centrosymmetric iron oxide that provides the missing experimental link between centrosymmetric lattices and a rich variety of helimagnetic order. This is the first observation of a three-dimensional topological spin texture in a bulk perovskite-type oxide, one of the most ubiquitous and important systems for oxide electronics. The study enlarges the family of topological spin textures and offers a promising route toward the design of novel oxide skyrmionics.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Ultrafast light-driven simultaneous excitation of coherent terahertz magnons and phonons in multiferroic $BiFe O_{3}$

Pritam Khan, Masataka Kanamaru, Keita Matsumoto, Toshimitsu Ito, and Takuya Satoh

Phys. Rev. B 101, 134413 (2020) - Published 13 April, 2020

Of late, magnetoelectric multiferroics have gained tremendous importance because they possess coexisting magnetic and ferroelectric phases, with cross-correlation effects between magnetic and electric degrees of freedom. BiFeO $_{3}$ stands out as a canonical material in the multiferroics, because it exhibits ferroelectricity and antiferromagnetism at room temperature. Here, the authors demonstrate for the first time that linearly polarized ultrafast light pulse leads to simultaneous excitation of coherent magnon and optical-phonon modes below the few terahertz frequency regime. Excitation of the terahertz magnon and optical phonon could pave the way to developing ultrafast magnetoelectro-optical devices.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Spin mechanics with levitating ferromagnetic particles

P. Huillery, T. Delord, L. Nicolas, M. Van Den Bossche, M. Perdriat, and G. Hétet

Phys. Rev. B 101, 134415 (2020) - Published 13 April, 2020

The authors propose a new platform for spin-mechanics experiments, in which nitrogen-vacancy (NV) electron spins are coupled to the librational motion of ferromagnetic particles levitating in an electrostatic Paul trap. They experimentally demonstrate magnetic librational confinement of ferromagnetic particles exceeding state-of-the-art NV decoherence rates, offering prospects for resolved side-band operations. Two schemes are proposed for implementing spin-mechanics coupling. Either nonlevitating diamonds could be placed near the trap, or hybrid diamond/ferromagnetic particles could be directly trapped. By implementing the second scheme, readout of the librational motion by the NV spins is demonstrated.
