Functional renormalization group approach to electronic structure calculations for systems without translational symmetry

Christian Seiler and Ferdinand Evers

Phys. Rev. B 94, 155102 (2016) - Published 3 October, 2016

Good progress has been made in electronic structure calculations for real materials as well as for model Hamiltonians. However with an eye on $a b$ $i n i t i o$ calculations, it is still very challenging to accurately calculate, e.g., the dynamical response of small molecules or atom clusters. At present the method of choice is the GW-BSE method. Its notorious drawback is that solving a computationally demanding self-consistency equation is required. Thus motivated, the author explore an alternative idea replacing the self-consistency problem by the functional renormalization group (FRG). The traditional FRG was formulated for systems with translational symmetry. We investigate an alternative ( $ε$ FRG) that is also applicable to inhomogeneous matter, such as disordered metals or molecules. It accounts for Fermi-liquid corrections to quasiparticle energies and particle-hole excitations. In principle it can go beyond the state of the art approximation, GW-BSE, by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) self-consistently We present an efficient implementation of $ε$ FRG together with performance tests on the spinless disordered Hubbard model.

Spin-orbit semimetals in the layer groups

Benjamin J. Wieder and C. L. Kane

Phys. Rev. B 94, 155108 (2016) - Published 6 October, 2016

Since the discovery of graphene, there has been great interest in finding other nodal semimetals in two and three dimensions. Over the past few years, numerous examples of these materials have been proposed or observed. However, the explanations for the symmetry and topology mechanisms protecting nodal features in these materials have generally been provided on a case-by-case basis. In this paper, we use a mathematical consideration of crystal lattices on flat manifolds like Mquotobius strips and Klein bottles, most recently revived by Watanabe, Po, Vishwanath, and Zaletel, to develop a framework for discussing all possible two-dimensional and quasi-two-dimensional semimetals in systems with strong spin-orbit interactions. Using this framework, we draw connections to known nodal features in two- and three-dimensional semimetals like SrIrO $_{3}$ , and we predict new ones, including an exotic “Cat’s Cradle” Weyl fermion feature.

Gradient methods for variational optimization of projected entangled-pair states

Laurens Vanderstraeten, Jutho Haegeman, Philippe Corboz, and Frank Verstraete

Phys. Rev. B 94, 155123 (2016) - Published 14 October, 2016

The authors present a new method for variationally optimizing projected entangled-pair states (PEPS) in the thermodynamic limit based on the global energy functional and novel tensor contraction strategies. It is successfully benchmarked using Ising and Heisenberg Hamiltonians. The method is completely independent from previous PEPS implementations and improves on the variational energies and order parameters as compared to other state-of-the-art PEPS simulations. The algorithm presented here should prove valuable in simulating ground-state properties of strongly correlated quantum spin systems, can be used with other variational ansatzes, and can be applied to tensor network states in general.

Electrons, holes, and spin in the IV-VI monolayer four-six-enes

Ian Appelbaum and Pengke Li (李鹏科)

Phys. Rev. B 94, 155124 (2016) - Published 14 October, 2016

The electronic structure of crystalline materials reflects the influence of underlying discrete symmetries of the atomic lattice. When these symmetries are broken, associated degeneracies in the spectrum of states often split, with important consequences for potential electronic and spintronic applications. The mathematical language of group theory can be used to capture the effect of these symmetries and provide insight into the origins of spectrum features obtained from essentially empirical ab initio numerical calculations such as density functional theory. A salient example comes from the unusual electronic structure of atomically thin two-dimensional “four-six-ene” semiconductors such as tin sulfide, germanium telluride, etc. (related to group-V phosphorene but formed from group IV and VI). In this case, group theoretic methods provide a straightforward framework for understanding the consequences of inversion symmetry breaking due to inequivalent sublattice atomic identity. In particular, the quantum states at the edge of the fundamental band gap – relevant to all transport, optoelectronic, and spintronic properties – are shown to directly inherit their character from nearby points of high symmetry in the reciprocal lattice, where the form of allowable energetic interactions is constrained.

Laser angle-resolved photoemission as a probe of initial state $k_{z}$ dispersion, final-state band gaps, and spin texture of Dirac states in the ${Bi}_{2} {Te}_{3}$ topological insulator

Minna Ärrälä, Hasnain Hafiz, Daixiang Mou, Yun Wu, Rui Jiang, Trevor Riedemann, Thomas A. Lograsso, Bernardo Barbiellini, Adam Kaminski, Arun Bansil, and Matti Lindroos

Phys. Rev. B 94, 155144 (2016) - Published 27 October, 2016

Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is widely used to investigate topological states and their spin textures in topological materials. Here, the authors examine the role of the ARPES matrix element in laser-ARPES spectra, and delineate how imprints of the Dirac states and their spin textures are encoded in these spectra in terms of the character and symmetry of the underlying initial and final states. For this purpose, they collect laser-ARPES spectra from the exemplar topological insulator material Bi $_{2}$ Te $_{3}$ over a wide range of momenta in the $k_{x}$ -k $_{y}$ plane at energies ranging from 5.57–6.70 eV for two different linear polarizations of the incident light. The experimental results are analyzed via first-principles fully relativistic calculations of ARPES intensities within the framework of the one-step model of photoemission. These include effects of the ARPES matrix element from a semi-infinite solid surface. The authors obtain new insight into the nature of the laser-ARPES spectra from topological materials, and show how these spectra contain fingerprints of the initial state $k_{z}$ dispersions and spin textures of the Dirac-cone states, and how laser-ARPES could open a previously unrecognized window on the presence of delicate gaps in the final-state spectra.

Dilatometric study of the metamagnetic and ferromagnetic phases in the triple-layered ${Sr}_{4} {Ru}_{3} O_{10}$ system

W. Schottenhamel, M. Abdel-Hafiez, R. Fittipaldi, V. Granata, A. Vecchione, M. Hücker, A. U. B. Wolter, and B. Büchner

Phys. Rev. B 94, 155154 (2016) - Published 31 October, 2016

The Ruddlesden Popper series Sr $_{n + 1}$ Ru $_{n}$ O $_{3 + n + 1}$ contains highly interesting physical phenomena depending on the number of RuO $_{2}$ layers in the unit cell, spanning from unconventional superconductivity for the $n$ =1 member Sr $_{2}$ RuO $_{4}$ to itinerant ferromagnetism in the infinite-layer system SrRuO $_{3}$ . Obviously, the unique interplay between electronic, spin, and lattice degrees of freedom in this group of correlated itinerant electron systems leads to a tremendous change of the physical properties. This is also demonstrated by anisotropic and orbital-dependent magnetism and a strong spin-phonon coupling found in many members within the series. This paper focusses on triple-layer Sr $_{4}$ Ru $_{3}$ O $_{10}$ , which becomes ferromagnetic at $T_{c}$ $\sim$ 105 K and shows a metamagnetic transition below $T^{*}$ $\sim$ 50 K for a magnetic field along the $a b$ plane. The authors investigate the magnetoelastic properties of this compound as a function of temperature and magnetic field. The high-resolution thermal expansion and magnetostriction measurements indicate a highly anisotropic response with a specific rearrangement of the crystal lattice in fields parallel and perpendicular to the $c$ axis. Finally, they reconstruct the $T$ - $H$ phase diagram, which shows a new feature suggestive of the multiple-orbital character of Sr $_{4}$ Ru $_{3}$ O $_{10}$ , where both the ferromagnetic ( $d_{x y}$ ) and the metamagnetic orbitals ( $d_{x z; y z}$ ) coexist and interact.

Wide-band nanoscale magnetic resonance spectroscopy using quantum relaxation of a single spin in diamond

James D. A. Wood, David A. Broadway, Liam T. Hall, Alastair Stacey, David A. Simpson, Jean-Philippe Tetienne, and Lloyd C. L. Hollenberg

Phys. Rev. B 94, 155402 (2016) - Published 5 October, 2016

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy is one of the most important tools used across the physical and life sciences, but typically requires macroscopic samples. A key challenge is therefore to develop methods suitable for the nanometric regime. This paper investigates a new approach whereby quantum relaxation of a single nitrogen-vacancy center spin in diamond is monitored to construct a spectrum of the surrounding electron and nuclear spin environment within a nanometric volume. In contrast to existing decoherence-based techniques, the technique is all optical, requiring no complex quantum control, and intrinsically broadband, which means it can probe both electron and nuclear spin resonances. As an illustration, the authors report broadband nanoscale magnetic resonance spectroscopy of nitrogen impurities located within the diamond. This work provides a new route towards magnetic resonance spectroscopy of electrons and nuclear spins at the single molecule level.
