Particle-vortex duality of two-dimensional Dirac fermion from electric-magnetic duality of three-dimensional topological insulators

Max A. Metlitski and Ashvin Vishwanath

Phys. Rev. B 93, 245151 (2016) - Published 27 June, 2016

Duality is a powerful theoretical tool whereby the strongly interacting and intractable regime of a theory can be accessed in terms of weakly interacting “dual” variables. In condensed matter, this is familiar from the Kramers-Wannier duality of the Ising model, and boson-vortex duality. Here, a duality for another fundamental problem – Dirac fermions in two spatial dimensions – is obtained, which provides a new window to the physics of strongly interacting electrons. This leads to unexpected connections between topological insulators in three dimensions and the physics of the half-filled Landau level, including composite fermions and Pfaffian quantum Hall states.

Evidencing the need for high spatial resolution in angle-resolved photoemission experiments

Frédéric Joucken, Nicolas Reckinger, Stéphane Lorcy, José Avila, Chaoyu Chen, Jérôme Lagoute, Jean-François Colomer, Jacques Ghijsen, Maria Carmen Asensio, and Robert Sporken

Phys. Rev. B 93, 241101(R) (2016) - Published 9 June, 2016

Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) provides direct access to the electronic band structure of materials. Very recently, the spatial resolution of ARPES setups has dramatically increased, with a spot size at the sample shrinking from 50 $\times$ 50 $μ$ m $^{2}$ , typical of most synchrotron-based setups, down to 100 $\times$ 100 nm $^{2}$ or less. In this work, the authors demonstrate the impact of increased spatial resolution by evidencing faint spatial inhomogeneity in the ARPES signal of a graphene sample that would go undetected in ARPES setups possessing lower spatial resolution.

Measurement of spin coherence using Raman scattering

Z. Sun, A. Delteil, S. Faelt, and A. Imamoğlu

Phys. Rev. B 93, 241302(R) (2016) - Published 13 June, 2016

Measuring spin coherence time is essential in general characterization of a qubit. Here, a novel method to determine the coherence time of a spin qubit is implemented, based on the coherence properties of inelastic Raman scattering obtained with an unbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The authors demonstrate this method on both a single electron spin and a hole spin confined in a self-assembled quantum dot. The visibility of the first-order coherence of Raman scattered photon in the weak excitation regime exhibits a Gaussian decay as a function of the time delay, allowing a direct extraction of $T_{2}^{*}$ , which is immune to the limitations that influence standard Ramsey interference with self-assembled quantum dots.

Charged quantum dot micropillar system for deterministic light-matter interactions

P. Androvitsaneas, A. B. Young, C. Schneider, S. Maier, M. Kamp, S. Höfling, S. Knauer, E. Harbord, C. Y. Hu, J. G. Rarity, and R. Oulton

Phys. Rev. B 93, 241409(R) (2016) - Published 21 June, 2016

Quantum dots have long been considered systems that could deliver a significant advantage for practical quantum information applications. Their atomic dipolelike transitions and their compatibility to be integrated into a variety of photonic structures has highlighted this fact. Here, the authors measure an unexpectedly high single-photon level phase shift (~6 $^{\circ}$ ), induced upon reflection from a singly negatively charged quantum dot incorporated in a low- $Q$ -factor cavity ( $Q$ ~290). This measurement provides the first evidence for a system with unit fidelity and a high efficiency in its interactions. The result opens a new road to realistic spin-photon entanglement devices, in a simple and easy to fabricate photonic structure.

Parquet decomposition calculations of the electronic self-energy

O. Gunnarsson, T. Schäfer, J. P. F. LeBlanc, J. Merino, G. Sangiovanni, G. Rohringer, and A. Toschi

Phys. Rev. B 93, 245102 (2016) - Published 1 June, 2016

Photoemission spectroscopy is one of the most direct routes to investigate electronic systems. However, if electron correlations are strong, the identification of the predominant scattering processes through the analysis of the photoelectron spectra becomes a formidable challenge. The authors introduce here a decomposition of the electronic self-energy (see image), based on the so-called parquet equations, which, as suggested by their name, take into account all scattering channels and their interconnections. The application of this new parquet decomposition to self-energies computed in the case of local Coulomb interaction in two-dimensions (2D Hubbard model) yields several new results. Future investigations based on parquet decompositions and/or the fluctuation diagnostics of the self-energy could shed further light on the microscopic processes controlling the spectral functions in correlated electron models.

Unified ab initio formulation of flexoelectricity and strain-gradient elasticity

Massimiliano Stengel

Phys. Rev. B 93, 245107 (2016) - Published 3 June, 2016

Flexoelectricity has become a hot topic, and recent substantial advances in theoretical modeling have been key to this success. Establishing a strong synergy between continuum and first-principles approaches appears crucial for future progress. This manuscript presents a powerful innovative approach to achieve this goal. Moreover, it unravels unsuspected and deep connections between flexoelectricity and strain-gradient elasticity. The latter is an important field of its own, where a formal $a b$ $i n i t i o$ theory was still missing. This manuscript unifies two fields, provides a fundamental advance in both, pushing them into unexplored directions.

Measurement of Chern numbers through center-of-mass responses

H. M. Price, O. Zilberberg, T. Ozawa, I. Carusotto, and N. Goldman

Phys. Rev. B 93, 245113 (2016) - Published 6 June, 2016

The remarkable quantization of the Hall conductivity is routinely observed in two-dimensional electron gases subject to strong magnetic fields. Such quantum transport experiments are performed by measuring the current that flows in 2D systems in response to an applied electric field, and result in a quantized conductance proportional to a topological index, known as the Chern number. Recently, a similar effect was proposed and observed in gases of ultracold atoms, when these are loaded into Bloch bands with a nonzero Chern number. In this context, the center of mass of the atomic gas performs a measurable differential drift, in direct analogy with the electronic Hall effect, from which the corresponding Chern number can be obtained. Such detection relies on the assumption that the center-of-mass drift of the atomic cloud is directly related to the current density, which itself depends on the Chern number of the band. Here, the authors carefully revisit and analyze the center-of-mass detection scheme. Interestingly, we find that the center-of-mass motion also depends on the particle density, which in the presence of magnetic perturbations, can be explicitly related to the topology of the band. Whereas this additional dependence offers a correction to existing experimental results, it opens up a rich variety of new possible quantized responses and detection schemes in 2D and 4D engineered systems, such as cold atoms and photonic lattices.

Tunable scattering cancellation cloak with plasmonic ellipsoids in the visible

Martin Fruhnert, Alessio Monti, Ivan Fernandez-Corbaton, Andrea Alù, Alessandro Toscano, Filiberto Bilotti, and Carsten Rockstuhl

Phys. Rev. B 93, 245127 (2016) - Published 13 June, 2016

Rendering arbitrary objects invisible is currently of great interest in photonics. While there are some optical tricks to hide macroscopic objects, such as camouflaging and mimetics, true invisibility remains out of reach. However, for sufficiently small objects one can use advanced techniques to prevent their detection at least at discrete wavelengths. The scattered light is suppressed, as envisioned using the recently developed scattering cancellation technique. At optical frequencies, metallic nanoparticles that mantle a small object do the desired job. However, tuning the operational frequency of such a mantle cloak remained a challenge. The authors here solve this problem by using silver ellipsoids instead of spheres. Depending on the axis ratio, the cloaking frequency is tunable throughout the entire visible spectrum. The cloak performance has been rigorously analyzed using the T-matrix method. It is envisioned that the optimized structure opens the door to many applications where the scattering signal will be suppressed at a predefined wavelength, e.g., to suppress the cross-talk between adjacent optical nanoantennas or the spurious signal from a tip in a near-field optical microscope.

Phase structure of one-dimensional interacting Floquet systems. I. Abelian symmetry-protected topological phases

C. W. von Keyserlingk and S. L. Sondhi

Phys. Rev. B 93, 245145 (2016) - Published 27 June, 2016

Phases of matter are traditionally seen as families of static systems exhibiting the same long-distance and low-energy correlations. In this work, the authors propose and classify a new family of phases of matter. They are novel insofar as they are intrinsically driven and out of equilibrium — they can only be realized in systems with time-dependent Hamiltonians. The phases we consider arise in 1D periodically driven systems, in the presence of strong disorder and interactions, and are similar to but qualitatively distinct from the symmetry-protected topological phases now well known in the equilibrium setting. In a companion paper, the authors examine similar intrinsically driven families of states with long-range order, and an order parameter that oscillates at a frequency that is robustly an integer multiple of the underlying drive frequency.

Self-organized charge puddles in a three-dimensional topological material

N. Borgwardt, J. Lux, I. Vergara, Zhiwei Wang, A. A. Taskin, Kouji Segawa, P. H. M. van Loosdrecht, Yoichi Ando, A. Rosch, and M. Grüninger

Phys. Rev. B 93, 245149 (2016) - Published 24 June, 2016

Unraveling the peculiar properties of topological materials often requires tuning of the bulk chemical potential, which has been addressed by compensation of acceptors and donors. Compensation necessarily creates Coulomb disorder which, however, impedes chemical potential tuning and gives rise to self-organized charge puddles. In the topological insulator BiSbTeSe $_{2}$ , optical data and Monte Carlo simulations presented here reveal the existence of puddles at low temperatures as well as their surprising “evaporation” on a temperature scale of about 40 K. The highly nonlinear screening effect of thermal excitations is also important for Dirac matter or Weyl semimetals. Understanding and controlling the puddles will be a key to realizing novel phenomena in 3D topological materials, as was the case with 2D materials such as graphene.
