Microscopic diagnosis of universal geometric responses in fractional quantum Hall liquids

Liangdong Hu, Zhao Liu, D. N. Sheng, F. D. M. Haldane, and W. Zhu

Phys. Rev. B 103, 085103 (2021) - Published 2 February, 2021

Topological quantum liquids contain internal degrees of freedom that are coupled to geometric response. Here, the authors present a method, with the help of the Dehn twist on the torus geometry, to microscopically extract fingerprints (guiding center spin, Hall viscosity, etc.) of the underlying topological order from their geometric response.

Plasmon-to-exciton spin conversion in semiconductor-metal hybrid nanostructures

I. A. Akimov, A. N. Poddubny, J. Vondran, Yu. V. Vorobyov, L. V. Litvin, R. Jede, G. Karczewski, S. Chusnutdinow, T. Wojtowicz, and M. Bayer

Phys. Rev. B 103, 085425 (2021) - Published 16 February, 2021

The authors demonstrate here optical orientation of photoexcited electrons on femtosecond timescales via plasmon-to-exciton spin conversion in semiconductor-metal hybrid nanostructures. Exploiting the polarization of the incident light, they can independently adjust the transverse and longitudinal electron spin components relative to the light propagation direction. The demonstrated plasmon-to-exciton spin conversion is fascinating from both the applied and basic points of view, as it enables omnidirectional optical initialization of spin, applicable to a large variety of solid-state systems.

Microscopic theory of plasmon-enabled resonant terahertz detection in bilayer graphene

Andrea Tomadin, Matteo Carrega, and Marco Polini

Phys. Rev. B 103, 085426 (2021) - Published 18 February, 2021

The authors develop a theory of photodetection in a double-gated bilayer graphene (BLG) field-effect transistor (FET), following the Dyakonov-Shur scheme based on nonlinear mixing of plasma waves. A BLG channel displays a peculiar effect: the band gap depends on the intensity of the plasma wave, which makes the photoresponse dependent on the FET electrostatics. The work here bridges the microscopic features of the electronic dispersion in two-dimensional heterostructures to the macroscopic effects of plasma-wave propagation in the FET channel.

LETTER

Ambipolar magneto-optical response of ultralow carrier density topological insulators

Dipanjan Chaudhuri, Maryam Salehi, Sayak Dasgupta, Mintu Mondal, Jisoo Moon, Deepti Jain, Seongshik Oh, and N. P. Armitage

Phys. Rev. B 103, L081110 (2021) - Published 19 February, 2021

This paper demonstrates that in ultralow carrier density topological insulators with the Fermi level tuned close to the Dirac node, even though the surface state optical conductivity falls below detection levels, a quantized Faraday rotation is observed, signifying the robustness of the topological magnetoelectric effect. There is a discontinuity in the Faraday angle with small changes in the filling fraction across zero, a manifestation of the parity anomaly in 2D Dirac systems with broken time reversal symmetry.

Dirac fast scramblers

Jaewon Kim, Ehud Altman, and Xiangyu Cao

Phys. Rev. B 103, L081113 (2021) - Published 24 February, 2021

The Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model is thought to provide a promising approach to strongly correlated fermions. However, it is a zero-dimensional system, and generalizations to higher dimensions often come with undesirable properties. Here, the authors propose elegant solutions to this conundrum in one and two dimensions, dubbed “Dirac fast scramblers.” The latter also turn out to be an advantageous large- $N$ limit of the Gross-Neveu-Yukawa theory, which captures anomalous dimensions that are usually only accessible as $1 / N$ corrections.

Cavity optomechanics with a laser-engineered optical trap

P. Sesin, S. Anguiano, A. E. Bruchhausen, A. Lemaître, and A. Fainstein

Phys. Rev. B 103, L081301 (2021) - Published 10 February, 2021

Lasers are used to engineer effective potentials for photons and polaritons in semiconductor microcavities. Here, the authors show that vibrations can be cooled down in three-dimensional optical traps molded, tuned, and pumped with light. A photoelastic optomechanical coupling of $g_{0}$ /2 $π$ ~ 1.8 MHz is demonstrated in GaAs quantum well embedded resonators, attaining an optomechanical cooperativity $C$ > 1 for milliwatt excitation. This allows the cooling of mechanical vibrations by more than 160 K from room temperature, with record frequencies as high as ~180 GHz.

LETTER

Type-III Weyl semimetals: ${({TaSe}_{4})}_{2} I$

Xiao-Ping Li, Ke Deng, Botao Fu, YongKai Li, Da-Shuai Ma, JunFeng Han, Jianhui Zhou, Shuyun Zhou, and Yugui Yao

Phys. Rev. B 103, L081402 (2021) - Published 10 February, 2021

The Fermi surface plays a crucial rule in understanding the fundamental physics of crystals, such as superconductivity, the charge/spin density wave, and anomalous transport. Here, the authors discover the type-III Weyl semimetal, whose novel Fermi surface consists of two electron or hole pockets touching at the double Weyl points in Ta $_{2}$ Se $_{8}$ I, supporting the axionic charge density wave phase at low temperature. A unified and transparent picture to classify all of type-I, type-II, and type-III Weyl fermions based on the general tilting mechanism is also found.
