Real-time observation of collective excitations in photoemission

C. Lemell, S. Neppl, G. Wachter, K. Tőkési, R. Ernstorfer, P. Feulner, R. Kienberger, and J. Burgdörfer

Phys. Rev. B 91, 241101(R) (2015) - Published 3 June, 2015

A method is proposed to solve a longstanding problem in photoelectron spectroscopy: the determination of the branching ratio between intrinsic and extrinsic plasmon generation. Attosecond metrology in combination with model simulations allow for a disentanglement of these excitation channels providing novel insight into the many-electron response of metals.

Using weak measurements to extract the $Z_{2}$ index of a topological insulator

Zohar Ringel

Phys. Rev. B 91, 241109(R) (2015) - Published 18 June, 2015

In quantum mechanics, weak measurement allows one to measure off diagonal matrix elements of operators. In this work, the author designs a weak value protocol which can be harnessed to measure the topological invariant of a quantum spin Hall insulator.

Solving the fermion sign problem in quantum Monte Carlo simulations by Majorana representation

Zi-Xiang Li, Yi-Fan Jiang, and Hong Yao

Phys. Rev. B 91, 241117(R) (2015) - Published 30 June, 2015

Much attention has been devoted recently to identify possible ways to overcome the notorious sign problem encountered in quantum Monte Carlo simulations. The authors of this paper propose a new method based on Majorana representation of complex fermions, which they dub Majorana Quantum Monte Carlo (MQMC). They find a class of SU(N) fermionic models which are sign-free in MQMC but cannot be solved with other available methods.

Field-direction control of the type of charge carriers in nonsymmorphic ${IrO}_{2}$

M. Uchida, W. Sano, K. S. Takahashi, T. Koretsune, Y. Kozuka, R. Arita, Y. Tokura, and M. Kawasaki

Phys. Rev. B 91, 241119(R) (2015) - Published 30 June, 2015

Nonsymmorphic materials, which possess special symmetry operations (screw rotation, glide mirror), have been theoretically reexamined in recent years for possible novel quantum phases or electronic functions derived from the symmetry requirements. Here, the authors demonstrate that in the typical nonsymmorphic material IrO $_{2}$ , the type of charge carrier (electron or hole) is strongly dependent on the crystal orientation and capable of being switched by a magnetic field. This remarkable effect is seen in electrical transport measurements on various thin films supported by simple tight-binding and band structure calculations.

Manipulating the magnetic state of a carbon nanotube Josephson junction using the superconducting phase

R. Delagrange, D. J. Luitz, R. Weil, A. Kasumov, V. Meden, H. Bouchiat, and R. Deblock

Phys. Rev. B 91, 241401(R) (2015) - Published 9 June, 2015

Using a cleverly designed device contacting superconducting leads to a carbon nanotube quantum dot, the authors investigate the magnetic state of a quantum dot attached to superconducting leads in a regime where the Kondo energy competes with the superconducting correlations. In this regime, the magnetic state of the system depends on the difference of superconducting phase between the two electrodes. This paper reports the first experimental observation of this effect.

Spin texture of generic helical edge states

Alexia Rod, Thomas L. Schmidt, and Stephan Rachel

Phys. Rev. B 91, 245112 (2015) - Published 8 June, 2015

While many of the effects in two-dimensional topological insulators do not depend on the precise edge state structure because of their topological nature, more detailed experimental probes can extract non-topological information. In this paper the authors present comprehensive study of helical edge states of generic quantum spin Hall insulators whose quantization axis rotates as a function of the edge carrier momentum. This analysis reveals the information that can aid the spectroscopic detection of the spin texture of helical edge states.

Entanglement entropy near Kondo-destruction quantum critical points

J. H. Pixley, Tathagata Chowdhury, M. T. Miecnikowski, Jaimie Stephens, Christopher Wagner, and Kevin Ingersent

Phys. Rev. B 91, 245122 (2015) - Published 10 June, 2015

Entanglement entropy in several quantum impurity models is computed around the quantum critical point between the ordered and disordered phases and is found to be non-universal.

Fermi surface instabilities in ${CeRh}_{2} {Si}_{2}$ at high magnetic field and pressure

A. Palacio Morales, A. Pourret, G. Seyfarth, M.-T. Suzuki, D. Braithwaite, G. Knebel, D. Aoki, and J. Flouquet

Phys. Rev. B 91, 245129 (2015) - Published 15 June, 2015

Measurements of thermoelectric power are used to show that the heavy fermion compound CeRh $_{2}$ Si $_{2}$ has very different Fermi surfaces in different portions of the pressure-temperature phase diagram.

Imprint of topological degeneracy in quasi-one-dimensional fractional quantum Hall states

Eran Sagi, Yuval Oreg, Ady Stern, and Bertrand I. Halperin

Phys. Rev. B 91, 245144 (2015) - Published 19 June, 2015

Experimental measurement of topological degeneracy of fractional quantum Hall states is obstructed by the requirement of a torus geometry. The authors propose an alternative scheme which relies on the realization of ground state degeneracy in an effective torus geometry. It is achieved by gluing the edges of a bilayer annulus, where the layers are occupied by electron and hole fractional quantum Hall states or by a topological insulator.

Analytical theory for proton correlations in common-water ice $I_{h}$

S. V. Isakov, R. Moessner, S. L. Sondhi, and D. A. Tennant

Phys. Rev. B 91, 245152 (2015) - Published 25 June, 2015

The authors study the proton correlations present in water ice in its ice rule phase $I_{h}$ . Using an effective field theory, an analytic form for the correlation function is derived and then compared against numerics, showing excellent agreement. This field theory is argued to be a U(1) gauge theory in its deconfined Coulomb phase.

Phase transition in bulk single crystals and thin films of $V O_{2}$ by nanoscale infrared spectroscopy and imaging

Averitt, Stuart A. Wolf, Hyun-Tak Kim, Paul C. Canfield, and D. N. Basov

Phys. Rev. B 91, 245155 (2015) - Published 29 June, 2015

Infrared spectroscopy of VO $_{2}$ thin films at high spatial resolution shows new electronic and lattice states due to epitaxial strain that differ fundamentally from those in the bulk. This is the first ultra-broadband infrared near-field study of a correlated electron material, made possible by the newly developed synchrotron infrared near-field spectroscopy method (SINS) on the Advanced Light Source at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Counting statistics and dephasing transition in an electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer

A. Helzel, L. V. Litvin, I. P. Levkivskyi, E. V. Sukhorukov, W. Wegscheider, and C. Strunk

Phys. Rev. B 91, 245419 (2015) - Published 16 June, 2015

In this paper the authors study the dependence of the visibility of the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations of an electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer upon the transmission properties of an additional quantum point contact placed in front of the interferometer’s input. According to a theory by I. P. Levkivskyi and E. V. Sukhorukov ( Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 036801 (2009)), a non-equilibrium noise-induced phase transition is meant to occur when the transmission of the point contact equals 1/2. The authors present experimental evidence for the existence of this critical point.
