Temperature dependence of the NMR spin-lattice relaxation rate for spin-12 chains

E. Coira, P. Barmettler, T. Giamarchi, and C. Kollath

Phys. Rev. B 94, 144408 (2016) - Published 11 October, 2016

Recent developments in density matrix renormalization group/matrix product state techniques allow today for a quantitative computation of dynamical correlations at finite temperature in low-dimensional quantum spin systems. By combining numerical results and field theoretical asymptotic methods, e.g., bosonization, it is now possible to give a full description of the dynamical quantity one is interested in for the range of temperatures experimentally accessible. This enhances of course the possibility of one-to-one comparisons with experiments without having to resort to uncontrolled approximations. Here, the authors focus on the temperature dependence of the NMR spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 in spin-12 chain systems. This quantity is directly related to local, dynamical spin-spin correlation functions. The results agree in the low-temperature regime with bosonization predictions, and show interesting deviations from this behavior at intermediate temperatures.

Temperature dependence of the NMR relaxation rate 1/T1 for quantum spin chains

Maxime Dupont, Sylvain Capponi, and Nicolas Laflorencie

Phys. Rev. B 94, 144409 (2016) - Published 11 October, 2016

Quasi-one-dimensional (1D) antiferromagnets are good candidates to realize a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL), describing 1D interacting quantum systems, provided 3D coupling remains small as compared to temperature. In systems such as NiCl2-4SC(NH2)2 (DTN), made of weakly coupled spin S=1 chains, interchain coupling plays an important role at low temperature as it leads to antiferromagnetic long-range order below 1 K, corresponding to a Bose-Einstein condensate of magnons. Using time-dependent numerical simulations at finite temperature, the authors compute here the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation rate 1/T1, a key experimental quantity, and address the question of the low-temperature crossover between TLL predictions and the higher-temperature regime in purely 1D quantum spins chains. They also comment on the experimental observation of the TLL regime, possibly masked by 3D long-range order in materials such as DTN.

Polarization memory in the nonpolar magnetic ground state of multiferroic CuFeO2

J. Beilsten-Edmands, S. J. Magorrian, F. R. Foronda, D. Prabhakaran, P. G. Radaelli, and R. D. Johnson

Phys. Rev. B 94, 144411 (2016) - Published 12 October, 2016

Type-II multiferroics –- materials where magnetic order induces ferroelectricty -– offer great potential for novel electronic devices due to the strong intrinsic coupling between order parameters. Such coupling is found in CuFeO2, where ferroelectricity is driven by proper-screw “helical” magnetic ordering for applied magnetic fields between 7.5 and 13 T at low temperatures. Here, the authors report a polarization memory effect in CuFeO2, whereby the nonpolar antiferromagnetic ground state retains a strong memory of the high-magnetic-field ferroelectric phase. The dependence of the polarization on the magnetothermal history is investigated, and it is found that the direction and almost the full polarization magnitude is “remembered” after cycling through the zero-field nonpolar phase. This polarization memory persists in samples in which multiple crystallographic domains are suppressed by applied stress, ruling out crystallographic boundaries as the cause of the observed memory. Instead, the authors propose that the memory is carried by Bloch-type antiferromagnetic domain walls with definite helicity. As similar memory effects have been also been reported for other multiferroics, such as MnWO4 and CuO, the proposed mechanism could be a general feature of phase transitions between collinear-antiferromagnetic and incommensurate magnetic phases.

Effect of disorder on a pressure-induced z=1 magnetic quantum phase transition

Magnetic insulators are widely used as prototypes for the study of quantum criticality. Among the more exotic experimental realizations is the z=1 Heisenberg quantum critical point (QCP). It hosts asymptotic freedom of quasiparticles, unconventional scaling properties, and excitations analogous to the Higgs boson in high-energy physics. An interesting question is how this quantum phase transition is affected by disorder. Theory predicts a destruction of the quantum critical point and the emergence of a quantum Griffiths phase. In the present work, this issue is addressed experimentally by studying one of the precious few materials that host a pressure-induced Heisenberg QCP, namely the organometallic quantum magnet piperazine hexachlorodicuprate (PHCC). Disorder is introduced by chemical substitution of bromine for chlorine on a nonmagnetic site. Magnetic ordering at low temperatures is then studied as a function of applied hydrostatic pressure for a range of impurity concentrations. The tool of choice is the highly sensitive muon-spin rotation technique. The authors uncover a dramatic effect of disorder on the magnetic phase diagram. In agreement with theoretical expectations, they detect strong magnetic inhomogeneities already for small impurity concentrations, followed by the destruction of pressure-induced magnetic order at high concentrations of impurities.

Spin resonance in the superconducting state of Li1−xFexODFe1−ySe observed by neutron spectroscopy

Layered molecular-intercalated iron selenides (FeSe) show great promise as a class of high-Tc unconventional superconductors, with a Tc as high as 45 K reported so far. The FeSe layers in these materials also show structural and electronic similarities to monolayer FeSe on SrTiO3, where Tc values up to 65 K have been observed. Information on the superconducting properties of these materials may provide vital insight into the unconventional mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity in iron-based compounds. One property of particular interest is the symmetry of the superconducting gap function on the Fermi surface, which is a key prediction for any theory of superconductivity. However, a precise experimental determination of this has proven elusive in the iron-based superconductors. In this paper, the authors study the LiOD-intercalated FeSe derivative Li1-xFexODFe1-ySe via inelastic neutron scattering, detecting a spin resonance which appears in the superconducting state below the pair breaking energy 2Δ. This shows that superconductivity in this compound is unconventional and, in conjunction with previous ARPES and STS results, strongly constrains the possible superconducting gap symmetries in this material.

Theoretical study of stimulated and spontaneous Hawking effects from an acoustic black hole in a hydrodynamically flowing fluid of light

Phys. Rev. B 94, 144518 (2016) - Published 26 October, 2016

Given the extreme faintness of Hawking radiation from astrophysical black holes, researchers are actively pursuing the experimental quest of its analogs in condensed-matter and optical systems. This work reports a detailed theoretical study of different aspects of analog Hawking physics in a flowing fluid of exciton-polaritons in a semiconductor microcavity. Previous experimental work has demonstrated the relative ease to generate a black-hole horizon for collective sound waves in this system. Here, the authors propose realistic schemes to experimentally observe stimulated and spontaneous Hawking radiation effects, and they characterize their efficiency in view of forthcoming experiments. In particular, the study illustrates how complex shapes of the effective analog metric are naturally realized in this system and how this results in peculiar new features in the Hawking emission. The study also pinpoints the potential of quantum fluids of light for future studies and highlights the novelties and the experimental advantages of using driven-dissipative systems over conservative ultracold atomic gases.

Magnetic insulators are widely used as prototypes for the study of quantum criticality. Among the more exotic experimental realizations is the z=1 Heisenberg quantum critical point (QCP). It hosts asymptotic freedom of quasiparticles, unconventional scaling properties, and excitations analogous to the Higgs boson in high-energy physics. An interesting question is how this quantum phase transition is affected by disorder. Theory predicts a destruction of the quantum critical point and the emergence of a quantum Griffiths phase. In the present work, this issue is addressed experimentally by studying one of the precious few materials that host a pressure-induced Heisenberg QCP, namely the organometallic quantum magnet piperazine hexachlorodicuprate (PHCC). Disorder is introduced by chemical substitution of bromine for chlorine on a nonmagnetic site. Magnetic ordering at low temperatures is then studied as a function of applied hydrostatic pressure for a range of impurity concentrations. The tool of choice is the highly sensitive muon-spin rotation technique. The authors uncover a dramatic effect of disorder on the magnetic phase diagram. In agreement with theoretical expectations, they detect strong magnetic inhomogeneities already for small impurity concentrations, followed by the destruction of pressure-induced magnetic order at high concentrations of impurities.

Layered molecular-intercalated iron selenides (FeSe) show great promise as a class of high-Tc unconventional superconductors, with a Tc as high as 45 K reported so far. The FeSe layers in these materials also show structural and electronic similarities to monolayer FeSe on SrTiO3, where Tc values up to 65 K have been observed. Information on the superconducting properties of these materials may provide vital insight into the unconventional mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity in iron-based compounds. One property of particular interest is the symmetry of the superconducting gap function on the Fermi surface, which is a key prediction for any theory of superconductivity. However, a precise experimental determination of this has proven elusive in the iron-based superconductors. In this paper, the authors study the LiOD-intercalated FeSe derivative Li1-xFexODFe1-ySe via inelastic neutron scattering, detecting a spin resonance which appears in the superconducting state below the pair breaking energy 2Δ. This shows that superconductivity in this compound is unconventional and, in conjunction with previous ARPES and STS results, strongly constrains the possible superconducting gap symmetries in this material.

Given the extreme faintness of Hawking radiation from astrophysical black holes, researchers are actively pursuing the experimental quest of its analogs in condensed-matter and optical systems. This work reports a detailed theoretical study of different aspects of analog Hawking physics in a flowing fluid of exciton-polaritons in a semiconductor microcavity. Previous experimental work has demonstrated the relative ease to generate a black-hole horizon for collective sound waves in this system. Here, the authors propose realistic schemes to experimentally observe stimulated and spontaneous Hawking radiation effects, and they characterize their efficiency in view of forthcoming experiments. In particular, the study illustrates how complex shapes of the effective analog metric are naturally realized in this system and how this results in peculiar new features in the Hawking emission. The study also pinpoints the potential of quantum fluids of light for future studies and highlights the novelties and the experimental advantages of using driven-dissipative systems over conservative ultracold atomic gases.
