EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Existence of featureless paramagnets on the square and the honeycomb lattices in 2+1 dimensions

Chao-Ming Jian and Michael Zaletel

Phys. Rev. B 93, 035114 (2016) - Published 13 January, 2016

In quantum magnetism, peculiar features of quantum spin system sometimes forbid the existence of gapped “featureless” paramagnets which are fully symmetric and unfractionalized. The celebrated Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem is an example of such a constraint, but it is not known what the most general restriction might be. For given lattice structure and symmetries, it is an interesting question whether a featureless paramagnetic phase exists. In this paper, the authors focus on the existence of such featureless paramagnets on the square and honeycomb lattices and, on the basis of analytical and numerical arguments, propose the corresponding wave functions for several such models. The existence of these nontrivial states not only offers a proof of principle, but also suggests an exotic field theory description when these states are brought to the vicinity of a second-order phase transition.

$Hubbard- U$ corrected Hamiltonians for non-self-consistent random-phase approximation total-energy calculations: A study of ZnS, ${TiO}_{2}$ , and NiO

Christopher E. Patrick and Kristian S. Thygesen

Phys. Rev. B 93, 035133 (2016) - Published 25 January, 2016

The authors report a first-principles study of the structural and electronic properties of the transition-metal-based compounds TiO $_{2}$ , ZnS, and NiO. Total energies (and resulting quantities) are calculated within the random-phase approximation (RPA) total-energy functional, which is being discussed actively in the DFT community. The effect of Hubbard $U$ corrections are shown. These calculations should stimulate more study and use of the RPA functional.

X-ray absorption spectroscopy in electrical fields: An element-selective probe of atomic polarization

V. Ney, F. Wilhelm, K. Ollefs, A. Rogalev, and A. Ney

Phys. Rev. B 93, 035136 (2016) - Published 26 January, 2016

The authors report x-ray absorption spectroscopy of samples in large electrical fields. The observed effect is linear in electric field and only observable in polar materials. It can be thought of as the x-ray analogue of the linear Stark effect. It may open up a new area of research by studying electrical polarization with element specificity for multiconstituent functional materials

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Intervalley scattering in hexagonal boron nitride

G. Cassabois, P. Valvin, and B. Gil

Phys. Rev. B 93, 035207 (2016) - Published 28 January, 2016

The authors have conducted an experimental study of hexagonal boron nitride using steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence. The assignment of previously observed lines of unknown origin is made convincingly to indirect excitons assisted by acoustic and optical phonons and to defect-assisted transitions. This is further evidence for $h$ -BN being an indirect band-gap semiconductor.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Anisotropy of electron and hole $g$ tensors of quantum dots: An intuitive picture based on spin-correlated orbital currents

J. van Bree, A. Yu. Silov, M. L. van Maasakkers, C. E. Pryor, M. E. Flatté, and P. M. Koenraad

Phys. Rev. B 93, 035311 (2016) - Published 25 January, 2016

The $g$ tensor, which describes the interaction energy of the spin with an external magnetic field, plays an essential role in controlling and manipulating single spins in semiconductor quantum dots. Spin-correlated orbital currents can strongly affect the $g$ tensor. This paper investigates theoretically and experimentally how these currents depend on the shape of quantum dots and how they affect the anisotropy of the electron $g$ tensor. It is found that the spin-correlated orbital currents form a simple current loop perpendicular to the magnetic moment’s orientation, and are therefore directly sensitive to the shape of the nanostructure. This simple and intuitive picture is validated by a systematic experimental magnetoluminescence study of the size dependence of the separate electron and hole $g$ tensors of InAs/InP quantum dots.

Dirac cones beyond the honeycomb lattice: A symmetry-based approach

Guido van Miert and Cristiane Morais Smith

Phys. Rev. B 93, 035401 (2016) - Published 4 January, 2016

Dirac cones are at the heart of all the quasirelativistic phenomena oberved or predicted to occur in graphene. For a long time, it was believed that their existence is tightly bound to the honeycomb geometry of the graphene lattice. However, recent studies show that Dirac cones can be found in a variety of two-dimensional materials, with square or more complicated lattices. Here, the authors present a complete classification of these different systems, and show how Dirac cones emerge as a consequence of the symmetries of the underlying crystal. These results also provide guidelines to engineer novel materials that go beyond graphene.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Klein tunneling and supercollimation of pseudospin-1 electromagnetic waves

A. Fang, Z. Q. Zhang, Steven G. Louie, and C. T. Chan

Phys. Rev. B 93, 035422 (2016) - Published 14 January, 2016

Massless Dirac fermions with a pseudospin of $\frac{1}{2}$ are tied to many intriguing properties of graphene. Previous studies have discussed the possibility of constructing a higher pseudospin system in artificial lattices of ultracold atoms, which can also support equally interesting physical properties. The authors of this paper demonstrate that photon transport in certain photonic crystals corresponds to a pseudospin-1 system. This is a significant development because, contrary to ultracold systems, photonic crystals offer a better opportunity to study novel pseudospin-1 physics in experimentally realizable materials and at room temperature.
