Domains and ferroelectric switching pathways in ${Ca}_{3} {Ti}_{2} O_{7}$ from first principles

Elizabeth A. Nowadnick and Craig J. Fennie

Phys. Rev. B 94, 104105 (2016) - Published 8 September, 2016

Ferroelectrics that allow a coupling between the polarization and another order parameter are of great interest because they could make the electric field control of nonpolar order parameters possible. In recent years, “hybrid improper’” ferroelectrics - materials where the polarization couples to two different structural distortions - have emerged as a possible way to realize this goal. Theoretical predictions of hybrid improper ferroelectricity in layered perovskite materials were followed by its first experimental realization in Ca $_{3}$ Ti $_{2}$ O $_{7}$ in 2015. However, the precise pathway by which the polarization reverses in this material during ferroelectric switching remains an open question. The authors address this question and lay the groundwork for understanding the unexpectedly complex domain structure of Ca $_{3}$ Ti $_{2}$ O $_{7}$ , consisting of a network of multiple types of domain walls and topological defects.

Emergent O( $n$ ) symmetry in a series of three-dimensional Potts models

Chengxiang Ding, Henk W. J. Blöte, and Youjin Deng

Phys. Rev. B 94, 104402 (2016) - Published 1 September, 2016

Scaling, universality, and renormalization are three pillars of modern critical phenomena. According to the hypothesis of universality, continuous phase transitions fall into classes mainly determined by spatial dimensionality and symmetry of the order parameter. The latter is usually reflected by the degeneracy of the ground state of the Hamiltonian. However, for certain systems at criticality, a higher symmetry emerges in the order parameter, and the associated critical behavior may become very rich. Such emergent symmetry has been found in spin ice systems, deconfined quantum critical points, high- $T_{c}$ superconductors, and so forth, and are often accompanied by very interesting critical phenomena. New results presented here are based on Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling of a series of $q$ -state Potts models on the simple cubic lattice with ferromagnetic interactions in one lattice direction and antiferromagnetic interactions in the other two directions. The staggered magnetization appears to display an emergent continuous O( $n$ ) symmetry with $n$ = $q$ -1, as illustrated by two-dimensional intersections of the distribution functions. Also the estimated critical exponents are consistent with the O( $n$ = $q$ -1) universality classes.

Magnetic-field- and pressure-induced quantum phase transition in ${CsFeCl}_{3}$ proved via magnetization measurements

Nobuyuki Kurita and Hidekazu Tanaka

Phys. Rev. B 94, 104409 (2016) - Published 7 September, 2016

There is much interest from the physics community in materials with a gapped nonmagnetic ground state, in which quantum critical points can be reached by application of a magnetic field. Here, the authors report magnetization data as a function of temperature, field, and hydrostatic pressure for the gapped quantum magnet CsFeCl $_{3}$ , a quite intriguing system in which the large easy-plane single-ion anisotropy competes with the exchange interactions. They establish the phase boundary, and identify a quantum phase transition at a critical value of the pressure. It is likely that experiments by other techniques will follow this discovery of both magnetic-field and pressure-controlled transitions in this interesting compound.

Spin transport at interfaces with spin-orbit coupling: Formalism

V. P. Amin and M. D. Stiles

Phys. Rev. B 94, 104419 (2016) - Published 16 September, 2016

Spin transport at interfaces between nonmagnets and ferromagnets plays an important role in spintronic devices. Lately, there is an increasing suspicion that spin-orbit coupling, which couples the spin and momentum of carriers, might contribute significantly to this process. Unfortunately, the existing description of spin transport at such interfaces, magnetoelectronic circuit theory, is not valid when spin-orbit coupling is present at the interface. This paper presents a generalization of magnetoelectronic circuit theory to interfaces with spin-orbit coupling. Like the original theory, this generalization describes spin transport in terms of drops in spin and charge accumulations across the interface, but also includes responses to in-plane electric fields and offsets in spin accumulations. The most important result is a description of the way in-plane electric fields generate spin accumulations, spin currents, and torques at the interface. The effects described by this generalized circuit theory impact the interpretation of experiments involving spin-orbit torques, spin pumping, spin memory loss, the Rashba-Edelstein effect, and spin Hall magnetoresistance.

Spin transport at interfaces with spin-orbit coupling: Phenomenology

V. P. Amin and M. D. Stiles

Phys. Rev. B 94, 104420 (2016) - Published 16 September, 2016

Most spintronic devices share two features: they utilize spin-orbit coupling and they contain interfaces. While bulk spin-orbit effects are thought to be well described by phenomenological theories, interfacial spin-orbit effects are not. A theory that could describe interfacial spin-orbit effects would be useful in analyzing experiments on heavy-metal ferromagnet bilayers, which are a key feature of potential energy-efficient implementations of MRAM. To develop such a theory, the authors present the boundary conditions needed for drift-diffusion models to treat interfaces with spin-orbit coupling. Together with the drift-diffusion equations, these boundary conditions give an analytical model of spin-orbit torques caused by both the spin Hall and Rashba-Edelstein effects. A key feature of these boundary conditions is that they capture spin currents generated by interfacial spin-orbit scattering. The authors validate this phenomenological approach by comparing the results with those obtained by solving the spin-dependent Boltzmann equation. They discuss the interpretation of current experiments, and describe in particular how interfacial effects give rise to torques on a nearby ferromagnetic layer even through a nonmagnetic spacer layer.

Strong magnetoelastic coupling at the transition from harmonic to anharmonic order in ${NaFe (WO}_{4})_{2}$ with $3 d^{5}$ configuration

S. Holbein, M. Ackermann, L. Chapon, P. Steffens, A. Gukasov, A. Sazonov, O. Breunig, Y. Sanders, P. Becker, L. Bohatý, T. Lorenz, and M. Braden

Phys. Rev. B 94, 104423 (2016) - Published 21 September, 2016

Although NaFe(WO $_{4}$ ) $_{2}$ is not multiferroic itself, the magnetic order in this $S$ =5/2 chain material is a reference for many multiferroic materials, such as MnWO $_{4}$ and $R$ MnO $_{3}$ , because NaFe(WO $_{4}$ ) $_{2}$ exhibits a transition from an incommensurate spiral order to a commensurate up-up-down-down structure. Here, the authors perform a very extensive study of the magnetic properties in the this double tungstate compound at low temperatures and high magnetic fields. A complex $B$ - $T$ phase diagram is unveiled. Strong magnetoelastic anomalies with a relative contraction of the $b$ lattice parameter of up to 2.6 $\times$ 10 $^{- 4}$ are associated with the up-up-down-down ordering, which appears in the commensurate and also in the anharmonic incommensurate structure. In contrast, the transition to the magnetically ordered phase, with a purely harmonic incommensurate spiral modulation, does not cause resolvable anomalies in the thermal expansion. Thus, the strong magnetoelastic anomaly coupling can be attributed to the lifting of magnetic frustration in the up-up-down-down structure, where neighboring moments align either parallel or antiparallel, although all these bonds are equivalent in the paramagnetic state.

Normal-metal quasiparticle traps for superconducting qubits

R.-P. Riwar, A. Hosseinkhani, L. D. Burkhart, Y. Y. Gao, R. J. Schoelkopf, L. I. Glazman, and G. Catelani

Phys. Rev. B 94, 104516 (2016) - Published 20 September, 2016

Superconducting qubits are among the most promising elements for the implementation of the concept of quantum computing. Quasiparticles are an intrinsic sources of qubit decoherence, and are more generally detrimental to the operation of superconducting devices, e.g., Cooper pair pumps. Experiments reveal that quasiparticles fail to equilibrate and their density remains high even at low temperatures. Planting normal-metal traps on a superconducting device offers a way to reduce the quasiparticle density: once a quasiparticle tunnels into the normal metal and relaxes to subgap energy via inelastic processes, it cannot return to the superconductor. This paper presents a theoretical model for the time-resolved dynamics of quasiparticles injected into a qubit, and experiments with transmon qubits validating the model. The authors show that, contrary to expectations, the effective trapping rate depends on temperature, which is a consequence of the strong energy dependence of the quasiparticle density of states in the superconductor. At low temperatures, the relaxation process in the normal metal is the bottleneck limiting the effectiveness of traps. The authors also show that the trapping rate saturates for larger traps. At saturation, the rate is limited by the inverse of the time it takes for quasiparticles to diffuse across the device.

Electrodynamic duality and vortex unbinding in driven-dissipative condensates

G. Wachtel, L. M. Sieberer, S. Diehl, and E. Altman

Phys. Rev. B 94, 104520 (2016) - Published 27 September, 2016

Superfluidity in two dimensions relies on the stability of a vortex imposed by external rotation of the fluid. It is lost if the flow around the test vortex is screened by spontaneously generated free vortices. In thermal equilibrium, this occurs through a Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition, where vortex-antivortex pairs bound by Coulomb-like forces unbind only above the critical temperature. Recent experiments with exciton-polariton fluids and other driven dissipative systems raise the question of how this physics changes away from thermal equilibrium. In this paper, the authors generalize the electrostatic duality, which represents vortices as Coulomb charges, to a full electrodynamic description of the nonequilibrium system. The unbinding of vortices is analyzed within this theory using a renormalization group framework. In contrast to the equilibrium case, it is found that vortices always unbind beyond a large emergent length scale due to nonlinearities in the field dynamics. Hence, there is no superfluidity in a truly infinite driven system, while a finite system may appear as a superfluid. The heuristic derivation of the dual electrodynamics presented in this paper is supplemented by a systematic one starting from a microscopic lattice theory in a companion paper.

Lattice duality for the compact Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation

L. M. Sieberer, G. Wachtel, E. Altman, and S. Diehl

Phys. Rev. B 94, 104521 (2016) - Published 27 September, 2016

Duality transformations have a long history in physics, and recently saw a surge of renewed interest in the context of strongly correlated fermion systems. A prime example for such a transformation was established to describe the phase transition in two-dimensional superfluids in thermal equilibrium. Here, Kosterlitz and Thouless developed a dual representation of the superfluid, which maps the vortices in the latter to charges in a Coulomb gas. In this framework, the dissociation of vortex-antivortex pairs at the critical temperature corresponds to the formation of a plasma of free charges. How can such a framework be leveraged over to nonequilibrium situations, relevant to the understanding of driven open fluids of light such as exciton-polariton systems? In this work, the authors make a crucial step in this direction by deriving a transformation that maps the stochastic equation of motion for the phase of a driven open condensate — the compact Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (cKPZ) equation — to a dual electrodynamic theory. This results in modified, and in particular, nonlinear Maxwell equations for the electromagnetic fields, and a diffusion equation for the charges representing vortices in the cKPZ equation. In a companion paper, the authors apply this theoretical framework to the study of nonequilibrium vortex unbinding.
