Ultrafast carrier dynamics in the large-magnetoresistance material ${WTe}_{2}$

Y. M. Dai, J. Bowlan, H. Li, H. Miao, S. F. Wu, W. D. Kong, P. Richard, Y. G. Shi, S. A. Trugman, J.-X. Zhu, H. Ding, A. J. Taylor, D. A. Yarotski, and R. P. Prasankumar

Phys. Rev. B 92, 161104(R) (2015) - Published 7 October, 2015

WTe $_{2}$ has recently been reported to exhibit extremely large magnetoresistance, which may find potential applications in devices such as highly sensitive magnetic sensors and hard drives. In this paper, using ultrafast optical spectroscopy, the authors track the relaxation of photoexcited carriers in the time domain as they return to equilibrium in WTe $_{2}$ . Their experimental results not only resolve the time scales that ultimately limit potential applications of this material in electronic devices, e.g., high-speed hard drives, but also shed new light on the mechanisms governing the extremely large magnetoresistance.

Classical nature of nuclear spin noise near clock transitions of Bi donors in silicon

Wen-Long Ma, Gary Wolfowicz, Shu-Shen Li, John J. L. Morton, and Ren-Bao Liu

Phys. Rev. B 92, 161403(R) (2015) - Published 8 October, 2015

A fundamental question for understanding the decoherence of quantum spin qubits interacting with a bath of spins in the environment is the nature of the noise affecting the qubit - can it be modeled as classical noise or are quantum effects important? Here the authors experimentally demonstrate that in the favorable case of bismuth electron spin donors in silicon near values of a magnetic field known as clock transitions, the nuclear spin noise can be approximated as classical Gaussian noise. This finding is expected to influence efforts to optimize the control of qubits in silicon based quantum computation.

NMR evidence for inhomogeneous glassy behavior driven by nematic fluctuations in iron arsenide superconductors

A. P. Dioguardi, M. M. Lawson, B. T. Bush, J. Crocker, K. R. Shirer, D. M. Nisson, T. Kissikov, S. Ran, S. L. Bud'ko, P. C. Canfield, S. Yuan, P. L. Kuhns, A. P. Reyes, H.-J. Grafe, and N. J. Curro

Phys. Rev. B 92, 165116 (2015) - Published 16 October, 2015

This paper reports NMR spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxation rate data for iron arsenide superconductors involving multiple crystals with different dopants, doping levels, and magnetic fields. The results present evidence for glassy nematic fluctuations throughout an extensive region of phase space in these materials. The authors propose that the inhomogeneous relaxation dynamics that dominates the NMR response arises because the dopants introduce quenched random fields which couple to the nematic order. This disorder-induced frustration plays a significant role in suppressing antiferromagnetism and in the emergence of superconductivity.

Particle-hole symmetry and the composite Fermi liquid

Maissam Barkeshli, Michael Mulligan, and Matthew P. A. Fisher

Phys. Rev. B 92, 165125 (2015) - Published 23 October, 2015

Exploiting the analogy between Pfaffian and anti-Pfaffian states the authors construct a particle-hole conjugate of the composite Fermi liquid state. They suggest that a transition between composite Fermi liquid and anti-composite Fermi liquid states may occur at half-filling and discuss the relevance of such transition to recent magnetoresistance oscillation experiments.

Complexes of silicon, vacancy, and hydrogen in diamond: A density functional study

Gergő Thiering and Adam Gali

Phys. Rev. B 92, 165203 (2015) - Published 20 October, 2015

The chemical vapor deposition of diamond is known to introduce complexes of silicon, vacancy, and hydrogen. Here the authors theoretically examine several such complexes, some of which have already been observed, others which could potentially form. Using hybrid density functional theory for the treatment of highly correlated orbitals, many measurable quantities are calculated. The SiV $_{2}$ H(-) negatively charged defect is found to be a promising candidate for a long lived solid state quantum memory.

Full counting statistics of information content in the presence of Coulomb interaction

Yasuhiro Utsumi

Phys. Rev. B 92, 165312 (2015) - Published 22 October, 2015

The Renyi entropies for an interacting quantum dot are computed under a multi-contour Keldysh formalism. With this in hand, the self-information generating function is determined and the probability distribution of self-information is computed, including the effects of Coulomb interactions in the Hartree approximation. The author argues through these computations that fluctuations in the self-information and the Renyi entropies are tied together intimately and that these fluctuations thus offer a way to give the Renyi entropies physical meaning.

Nonlocal transport and the hydrodynamic shear viscosity in graphene

Iacopo Torre, Andrea Tomadin, Andre K. Geim, and Marco Polini

Phys. Rev. B 92, 165433 (2015) - Published 30 October, 2015

Due to the absence of a strong electron-acoustic phonon interaction, a system made up of graphene sheets encapsulated between thin hexagonal boron nitride slabs is ideal for investigating the hydrodynamic behavior of an electron liquid. Using a fully analytical theoretical approach, the authors demonstrate that nonlocal dc transport measurements can be used to extract the hydrodynamic shear viscosity of 2D electrons in graphene far from the neutrality point. They also suggest that the currently available scanning probe techniques should be able to spatially resolve viscosity-dominated electron flow regions.
