Dimensionality and irreversibility of field-induced transitions in ${SrDy}_{2} O_{4}$

C. Bidaud, O. Simard, G. Quirion, B. Prévost, S. Daneau, A. D. Bianchi, H. A. Dabkowska, and J. A. Quilliam

Phys. Rev. B 93, 060404(R) (2016) - Published 12 February, 2016

In this work, the ultrasound velocity is measured in the frustrated spin liquid material SrDy $_{2}$ O $_{4}$ as a function of magnetic field and temperature. Experimental data reveals a complex phase diagram that depends heavily on the direction of the magnetic field. Whereas a dome for the three-dimensional long-range magnetic order is induced for magnetic field applied along the $b$ axis, no finite temperature magnetic order is observed for other field directions. When passing between the spin liquid and magnetically ordered phase, significant irreversibility is observed. “Solidification” of the spin liquid (through applied field) proceeds through three distinct steps while melting of the magnetic order into the spin-liquid phase is a more continuous process.

Nodeless superconductivity in noncentrosymmetric ${PbTaSe}_{2}$ single crystals

G. M. Pang, M. Smidman, L. X. Zhao, Y. F. Wang, Z. F. Weng, L. Q. Che, Y. Chen, X. Lu, G. F. Chen, and H. Q. Yuan

Phys. Rev. B 93, 060506(R) (2016) - Published 5 February, 2016

Noncentrosymmetric superconductors such as PbTaSe $_{2}$ have been the focus of intensive study due to their unconventional properties and they have also recently been proposed as candidates for topological superconductivity and Majorana fermions. To test this, it is important to characterize the superconducting order parameter. The authors here report precise temperature-dependent measurements of the London penetration depth of PbTaSe $_{2}$ . The results indicate fully gapped $s$ -wave BCS-type superconductivity, which is rather puzzling. This compound is known to have a topologically nontrivial band structure and a strong antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling, which, in 2D superconductors, is expected to produce an order parameter with mixed spin singlet and spin triplet components.

Inverse design of disordered stealthy hyperuniform spin chains

Eli Chertkov, Robert A. DiStasio, Jr., Ge Zhang, Roberto Car, and Salvatore Torquato

Phys. Rev. B 93, 064201 (2016) - Published 3 February, 2016

It has recently been shown that disordered hyperuniform many-particle systems represent new distinguishable states of amorphous matter that are poised between a crystal and a liquid are are endowed with novel physical and thermodynamic properties. Such systems have shown to exist as ground states, i.e., at a temperature of absolute zero. Such “stealthy” and hyperuniform states are unique in that they are transparent to radiation for a range of wavelengths. In this paper, we ask whether Ising models of magnets, called spin chains in one dimension, can possess spin interactions that enable their ground states to be disordered, stealthy, and hyperuniform. Using inverse statistical-mechanical theoretical methods, we do demonstrate the existence of such states, which should be experimentally realizable.

Gapless quantum excitations from an icelike splayed ferromagnetic ground state in stoichiometric ${Yb}_{2} {Ti}_{2} O_{7}$

J. Gaudet, K. A. Ross, E. Kermarrec, N. P. Butch, G. Ehlers, H. A. Dabkowska, and B. D. Gaulin

Phys. Rev. B 93, 064406 (2016) - Published 3 February, 2016

The authors report elastic and inelastic neutron scattering results on the quantum spin ice candidate Yb $_{2}$ Ti $_{2}$ O $_{7}$ . The experiments were performed on a well characterized stoichiometric powder, which displays a large and sharp heat capacity anomaly at 0.26 K. The authors show that, at low temperature, Yb $_{2}$ Ti $_{2}$ O $_{7}$ exhibits long-range order with an ice-like ferromagnetic structure. However, the onset temperature is much higher than the temperature of the heat capacity anomaly. The spin excitations were found to be gapless on an energy scale < 0.09 meV and organized into a continuum of scattering with vestiges of highly overdamped ferromagnetic spin waves. The same spin dynamics is also observed for the single crystals, which indicates that those spin excitations are robust upon weak disorder.

All-in-all-out magnetic domain wall conduction in a pyrochlore iridate heterointerface

T. C. Fujita, M. Uchida, Y. Kozuka, W. Sano, A. Tsukazaki, T. Arima, and M. Kawasaki

Phys. Rev. B 93, 064419 (2016) - Published 17 February, 2016

Metallic surface states emerging at all-in-all-out type antiferromagnetic domain walls in bulk pyrochlore iridates have recently been observed. Such bulk crystals, however, inevitably contain huge amounts of the domains at random, and so it is quite challenging to investigate and utilize these novel surface conducting states. The results presented here are for a pyrochlore iridate heterointerface, which is realized by an advanced thin film growth technique. The authors successfully demonstrate the detection and control of a surface state linked to the antiferromagnetic domain wall, guiding further efforts for utilizing such states for surface transport in electronics and spintronics applications as well as for investigating the emergent topological transport at the interface.

Spin injection and spin transport in paramagnetic insulators

Satoshi Okamoto

Phys. Rev. B 93, 064421 (2016) - Published 22 February, 2016

Insulators do not transport electrical currents. Recent experimental reports instead show magnetic insulators can conduct spin current in terms of magnons (excitations from magnetic ordering). The spin current could be converted to electric current by the inverse spin Hall effect. Thus, magnetic insulators may not be regarded as insulating. Recent experimental work has suggested such spin transport effects exist even above magnetic transition temperatures, challenging the conventional approach starting from magnetic ordering. In this paper, an alternative approach is taken to this problem using the Schwinger boson method. It is shown that spin pumping and spin current transport are possible at elevated temperatures, even higher than transition temperatures, suggesting that paramagnetic insulators could be used for spintronics applications.

Wiedemann-Franz law in the underdoped cuprate superconductor ${YBa}_{2} {Cu}_{3} O_{y}$

Phys. Rev. B 93, 064513 (2016) - Published 22 February, 2016

The authors measured the electrical and thermal Hall conductivities of YBa $_{2}$ Cu $_{3}$ O $_{y}$ in high magnetic fields to investigate the nature of the nonsuperconducting ground state in underdoped cuprates. They found that the Wiedemann-Franz law is obeyed in the $T$ =0 limit as soon as the vortex solid melts at high field. This shows that there is no vortex liquid at $T$ =0 and it imposes a clear constraint on the nature of excitations in the enigmatic pseudogap phase of cuprate superconductors.
