Strong charge density wave fluctuation and sliding state in PdTeI with quasi-one-dimensional PdTe chains

Hechang Lei (雷和畅), Kai Liu (刘凯), Jun-ichi Yamaura, Sachiko Maki, Youichi Murakami, Zhong-Yi Lu (卢仲毅), and Hideo Hosono

Phys. Rev. B 93, 121101(R) (2016) - Published 1 March, 2016

In quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) systems, because of the finite interchain coupling and fluctuation, the charge density wave (CDW) transition temperature $T_{CDW}$ is much lower than the mean-field-theory predicted $T_{MF}$ and the CDW fluctuation region exists between $T_{CDW}$ and $T_{MF}$ . Usually, CDW fluctuation has little effect on the electronic transport properties. Moreover, the CDW state is usually insensitive to magnetic field. The work done here on a PdTeI single crystal with quasi-1D PdTe chains shows that the above statements need to be revisited. It is found that the CDW fluctuation leads to a gradual decrease of carrier concentration before the static long-range CDW order occurs at $T_{1}$ ~110 K. On the other hand, the pinning and sliding of CDW state are observed below $T_{2}$ ~6 K. When such a low $T_{2}$ is combined with the existence of multiple quasi-1D bands, PdTeI exhibits exotic crossover behavior from negative to huge positive magnetoresistance under magnetic field and field-induced localization. It indicates that the CDW fluctuation could have a remarkable influence on transport properties of CDW materials. Moreover, there is an interaction between the CDW state and magnetic field.

Origin of the kink in the band dispersion of the ferromagnetic perovskite ${SrRuO}_{3}$ : Electron-phonon coupling

H. F. Yang, Z. T. Liu, C. C. Fan, Q. Yao, P. Xiang, K. L. Zhang, M. Y. Li, H. Li, J. S. Liu, D. W. Shen, and M. H. Jiang

Phys. Rev. B 93, 121102(R) (2016) - Published 4 March, 2016

SrRuO $_{3}$ , a conductive ferromagnetic oxide, is a simple, old, but still fascinating material. Previous angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) studies found a kink structure in the electron bands, implying unusual electron dynamics. Here, the authors explore the origin of this kink in more detail via ARPES studies of high-quality films of varying thickness. The results indicate that the kink originates from the strong electron-phonon coupling rather than electron-magnon coupling.

Splitting between bright and dark excitons in transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers

J. P. Echeverry, B. Urbaszek, T. Amand, X. Marie, and I. C. Gerber

Phys. Rev. B 93, 121107(R) (2016) - Published 16 March, 2016

The optical properties of 2D semiconductors made of transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers, such as Mo $X_{2}$ and W $X_{2}$ ( $X$ =S, Se), are dominated by excitons. The light emission yield for optoelectronics applications depends on whether the electron-hole transitions are optically allowed (bright) or forbidden (dark). No direct evidence of the energetic ordering of these exciton states is currently available. The authors here solve the Bethe-Salpeter equation with $G W$ wave functions in order to determine the sign and amplitude of the splitting between bright and dark exciton states in the entire Mo $X_{2}$ and W $X_{2}$ monolayer family. They also evaluate the influence of pin-orbit coupling on the optical spectra and clearly demonstrate the strong impact of the intravalley Coulomb exchange term on the dark-bright exciton splitting, an important ingredient for engineering optoelectronics and spintronics applications.

Two-dimensional optical nanovortices at visible light

Asaf David, Bergin Gjonaj, and Guy Bartal

Phys. Rev. B 93, 121302(R) (2016) - Published 9 March, 2016

This work demonstrates optical vortices of visible light confined to tens of nanometers. Confinement to such dimensions is considered beyond standard optical capabilities. The significant down-scaling is achieved by engineering a short-wavelength platform, consisting of high-index dielectrics and metals that support hybrid photonic-plasmonic modes of very short wavelength propagating in two dimensions. Additional confinement is achieved using super-oscillations between two guided modes in carefully designed waveguides. The authors utilize phase-resolved near-field measurements to demonstrate optical vortices with topological charge as high as five that are still smaller than the size of a diffraction-limited spot of the illuminating light. The size of the vortices may allow for future orbital-angular-momentum based light-matter interactions with quantum systems.

Addressing spin transitions on ${}^{209}{Bi}$ donors in silicon using circularly polarized microwaves

T. Yasukawa, A. J. Sigillito, B. C. Rose, A. M. Tyryshkin, and S. A. Lyon

Phys. Rev. B 93, 121306(R) (2016) - Published 25 March, 2016

The authors demonstrate the selective addressability of two nearly degenerate clock transitions in bismuth-doped $^{28}$ Si without tuning the magnetic field or microwave frequency. Rather, they vary the microwave polarization between clockwise and counterclockwise circular polarizations, which can be done rapidly. To generate the circularly polarized microwaves, a superconducting coplanar waveguide microresonator was oriented inside a tunable dielectric resonator such that their microwave magnetic fields can be superimposed to give any arbitrary microwave polarization. This work not only opens up additional states near the Si:Bi clock transition, which can be used for different quantum computing schemes, it also demonstrates a clever method for generating arbitrarily polarized microwaves.

Reorientation of quantum Hall stripes within a partially filled Landau level

Q. Shi, M. A. Zudov, J. D. Watson, G. C. Gardner, and M. J. Manfra

Phys. Rev. B 93, 121404(R) (2016) - Published 14 March, 2016

Nearly half-filled Landau levels of an ultrapure two-dimensional electron gas host electronic nematic phases, commonly known as quantum Hall stripes. While original orientation of stripes is determined by the native symmetry-breaking potential of yet mysterious origin, an in-plane magnetic field can easily rotate stripes by 90 degrees. Experiments by the Minnesota/Purdue group in this paper reveal that, under a modest in-plane field, the stripe orientation can also be changed simply by making the topmost Landau level less or more than half-full. This finding reflects the strong filling factor dependence of the native symmetry-breaking potential and might provide a critical piece of information needed to finally identify its origin.

Even-parity excited states of the acceptor boron in silicon revisited

K. J. Morse, R. J. S. Abraham, D. P. Franke, N. V. Abrosimov, and M. L. W. Thewalt

Phys. Rev. B 93, 125207 (2016) - Published 10 March, 2016

Recently, there has been interest in using the electronic states of the acceptor impurity boron in silicon as active laser media and as qubits for a semiconductor-based quantum information technology. Even though boron is the prototypical acceptor in silicon, the most thoroughly studied semiconductor, questions have recently been raised about the ordering of its excited states. Here, the authors use several experimental techniques, including Raman scattering spectroscopy, two-hole photoluminescence spectroscopy and temperature-dependent infrared absorption spectroscopy, to confirm the assignment of the deepest even-parity excited state and observe new spectral features associated with the even-parity states.

Anisotropy, phonon modes, and free charge carrier parameters in monoclinic $β$ -gallium oxide single crystals

Phys. Rev. B 93, 125209 (2016) - Published 15 March, 2016

There is growing interest in low-symmetry metal oxides because of their potential use in high-power electronics capable to sustain very high voltages. Very little is known about their fundamental physical properties, such as transverse and longitudinal optical phonon modes, dielectric constants, and how free charge carriers couple with lattice vibrations. This lack of information is partially due to the complexity by which these properties intertwine due to the low symmetry crystal systems. Here, the authors describe a general pathway to the analysis of long-wavelength experiments for monoclinic and triclinic crystal systems, and they report for the first time a complete set of phonon modes for the monoclinic phase of gallium oxide. These parameters may arrive just in time to support computational optimization of charge and heat transport for device designs. The concept for analysis of long wavelength properties in monoclinic and triclinic crystal systems can help access a widely uncharted field in condensed matter physics.

$p$ -shell carrier assisted dynamic nuclear spin polarization in single quantum dots at zero external magnetic field

C. F. Fong, Y. Ota, E. Harbord, S. Iwamoto, and Y. Arakawa

Phys. Rev. B 93, 125306 (2016) - Published 16 March, 2016

The authors report the first observation of dynamic nuclear spin polarization (DNP) assisted by $p$ -shell carriers in a single self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) without application of an external magnetic field. With the ideal case of complete nuclear spin polarization remaining an elusive goal, research to improve the degree and efficiency of DNP or to narrow the nuclear field fluctuation distribution has been getting significant attention. The work here has implications that could lead to breaking the current limit of nuclear spin polarization. Furthering our understanding of the mesoscopic nuclear spins in a self-assembled QD is imperative in the pursuit of a stable nuclear spin environment for prolonging spin qubit coherence time.

Terahertz dynamics of lattice vibrations in Au/CdTe plasmonic crystals: Photoinduced segregation of Te and enhancement of optical response

Lars E. Kreilkamp, Ilya A. Akimov, Vladimir I. Belotelov, Boris A. Glavin, Leonid V. Litvin, Axel Rudzinski, Michael Kahl, Ralf Jede, Maciej Wiater, Tomasz Wojtowicz, Grzegorz Karczewski, Dmitri R. Yakovlev, and Manfred Bayer

Phys. Rev. B 93, 125404 (2016) - Published 3 March, 2016

Currently, there is great interest in the field of “active plasmonics”, where the properties of plasmonic excitations are tuned by an external stimulus. For practical applications, fast and efficient operation is required. Lattice vibrations in the plasmonic medium enable high-frequency modulation. So far, optical control by lattice vibrations was developed for the case of acoustic phonons only, which limits the operation frequencies to the gigaheretz range. Here, the authors go beyond this limit and demonstrate how optical phonons can be efficiently used for high-frequency terahertz modulation of light at the nanoscale. This is achieved by using novel hybrid plasmonic-semiconductor structures, wherein the modulation takes place in a nanometer-thin layer of elemental tellurium that forms under illumination by intense laser pulses.
