Differentiation between ferroelectricity and thermally stimulated current in pyrocurrent measurements of multiferroic $M {Mn}_{7} O_{12}$ ( $M = Ca$ , Sr, Cd, Pb)

Noriki Terada, Yana S. Glazkova, and Alexei A. Belik

Phys. Rev. B 93, 155127 (2016) - Published 15 April, 2016

Multiferroics present a dynamic crossover between magnetic and electronic order parameters. Using both the conventional pyroelectric current (PC) and the bias electric field (BE) methods, the authors investigate the electric polarization of multiferroic $M$ Mn $_{7}$ O $_{12}$ ( $M$ = Ca, Sr, Cd, Pb). While the pyrocurrent measurements show intense peaks below the magnetic ordering temperature, the peaks are not observed in the biased electric field method, which indicates the peaks are produced by thermal stimulation, not ferroelectricity. In CaMn $_{7}$ O $_{12}$ , the electric polarizations polarization produced is quite small, which suggests that the large polarizations reported in previously are not associated with intrinsic ferroelectricity.

Origin of static and dynamic steps in exact Kohn-Sham potentials

M. J. P. Hodgson, J. D. Ramsden, and R. W. Godby

Phys. Rev. B 93, 155146 (2016) - Published 25 April, 2016

The need for a reliable quantum description of the motion of interacting electrons in nanostructures is of ever-growing significance. The usual approximations for the exchange-correlation (xc) potential of density functional theory can prove inadequate, especially in the time-dependent regime and when correlation is strong. Spatial steps (and related features) in the xc potential, in particular, are known to be frequently crucial for the accurate description of electron densities, but present challenges for the common xc approximations. Using a variety of model systems, the authors exhibit the nature of these steps, and describe the principles that determine their properties, to inform the development of improved functionals.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Characterizing the three-orbital Hubbard model with determinant quantum Monte Carlo

Y. F. Kung, C.-C. Chen, Yao Wang, E. W. Huang, E. A. Nowadnick, B. Moritz, R. T. Scalettar, S. Johnston, and T. P. Devereaux

Phys. Rev. B 93, 155166 (2016) - Published 29 April, 2016

The authors systematically characterize the three-orbital Hubbard model using state-of-the-art determinant quantum Monte Carlo (DQMC) simulations with parameters relevant to the cuprate high-temperature superconductors. The DQMC results agree well with those from cuprate experiments, such as photoemission, and enable the identification of orbital content in the bands. A comparison of DQMC results to those from exact diagonalization and cluster perturbation theory elucidates how these different numerical techniques complement one another to produce a more complete understanding of the model and the cuprates.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Ultrafast spin-polarization control of Dirac fermions in topological insulators

J. Sánchez-Barriga, E. Golias, A. Varykhalov, J. Braun, L. V. Yashina, R. Schumann, J. Minár, H. Ebert, O. Kornilov, and O. Rader

Phys. Rev. B 93, 155426 (2016) - Published 20 April, 2016

Topological insulators are promising materials for future spintronic applications due to the unique properties of their spin-polarized surface states. Using time-, spin-, and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, the authors establish the utilization of photoexcited topological surface states as unique channels in which to drive fully controllable spin-polarized electrical currents on ultrafast time scales. Using circularly polarized femtosecond laser pulses of infrared light, the authors show that the dynamics of the generated currents exhibits two distinct timescales for the spin and charge degrees of freedom on the surface, and identify the underlying mechanisms giving rise to this behavior. Moreover, they find that the generated currents are completely reversible with the helicity of the circular-light polarization, paving the way for novel applications of topological insulators in spintronics at ultimate speeds.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Temperature-dependent excitonic effects in the optical properties of single-layer ${MoS}_{2}$

Alejandro Molina-Sánchez, Maurizia Palummo, Andrea Marini, and Ludger Wirtz

Phys. Rev. B 93, 155435 (2016) - Published 26 April, 2016

The electron-phonon interaction alters substantially the conventional picture of the band structure. It also changes the properties of excitonic states, which are very pronounced in many 2D materials. Using many-body perturbation theory, the authors describe how the inclusion of temperature modifies the electronic bands of single-layer MoS $_{2}$ . Different bands and different regions in the Brillouin zone are affected in different ways by electron-phonon coupling. Using the temperature-broadened bands as input for the Bethe-Salpeter equation, the authors explain why, for the bound $A$ and $B$ excitons, the electron-phonon coupling changes mainly the position, and for the $C$ exciton, only the width is affected by temperature, while the energy is rather constant.
