Structural and magnetic dynamics in the magnetic shape-memory alloy ${Ni}_{2} MnGa$

S. O. Mariager, C. Dornes, J. A. Johnson, A. Ferrer, S. Grübel, T. Huber, A. Caviezel, S. L. Johnson, T. Eichhorn, G. Jakob, H. J. Elmers, P. Beaud, C. Quitmann, and G. Ingold

Phys. Rev. B 90, 161103(R) (2014) - Published 10 October, 2014

Ni $_{2}$ MnGa is a prototypical Heusler alloy where structural, electronic, and magnetic degrees of freedom conspire to produce a large magnetic shape memory effect. The authors demonstrate how the complex interaction between these subsystems can be disentangled by using state-of-the-art time-resolved techniques.

Structurally unstable $A^{III} {BiO}_{3}$ perovskites are predicted to be topological insulators but their stable structural forms are trivial band insulators

Giancarlo Trimarchi, Xiuwen Zhang, Arthur J. Freeman, and Alex Zunger

Phys. Rev. B 90, 161111(R) (2014) - Published 31 October, 2014

Structurally unstable compounds can be predicted to be topological insulators (TIs) but their stable structural forms are trivial band insulators. The authors illustrate the danger in such false positive predictions for the A $^{I I I}$ BiO $_{3}$ bismuth oxides that have been recently proposed as TIs in a hypothetical “perovskite” crystal structure-type. They show that the inversion of anti-bonding with bonding electron levels may destabilize the material and argue that to predict new candidate TIs by quantum atomistic modeling, one should simultaneously test structural stability and topological character of the candidate materials.

Stability of zero modes in parafermion chains

Adam S. Jermyn, Roger S. K. Mong, Jason Alicea, and Paul Fendley

Phys. Rev. B 90, 165106 (2014) - Published 7 October, 2014

Parafermion zero-modes, which are present in several one-dimensional topological phases, generalize widely studied Majorana fermions and present a promising route for topological quantum computation. In this paper, analytical and numerical methods are used to find the regimes in which exact parafermion zero-modes exist in a lattice model which is an extension of the Kitaev chain. The authors find that the stability conditions for the zero-modes in parafermion chains differs markedly from that of the Majorana case.

Selectively localized Wannier functions

Runzhi Wang, Emanuel A. Lazar, Hyowon Park, Andrew J. Millis, and Chris A. Marianetti

Phys. Rev. B 90, 165125 (2014) - Published 17 October, 2014

The authors extend the theory of maximally localized Wannier functions, first developed by Marzari and Vanderbilt, by permitting the localizing objective function to be restricted to a chosen subset of orbitals, and the centers of the Wannier functions to be constrained to a chosen location. This is a very useful extension, particularly for implementations of DFT plus dynamical mean-field theory. Here, the method is demonstrated on GaAs, SrMnO $_{3}$ , and Co.

Plasmon losses due to electron-phonon scattering: The case of graphene encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride

Alessandro Principi, Matteo Carrega, Mark B. Lundeberg, Achim Woessner, Frank H. L. Koppens, Giovanni Vignale, and Marco Polini

Phys. Rev. B 90, 165408 (2014) - Published 8 October, 2014

A theoretical study of plasmon damping in a hBN-Graphene-hBN stack due to graphene acoustic phonons and hBN optical phonons shows that the graphene acoustic phonons are the dominant plasmon scatterers. This study predicts that hBN-Graphene-hBN structures can host gate tunable lowloss plasmons in the mid-infrared spectral range.
