Structural evolution and electronic properties of ${({Sr}_{1 - x} {Ca}_{x})}_{2 - y} {IrO}_{4 + z}$ spin-orbit-assisted insulators

Xiang Chen and Stephen D. Wilson

Phys. Rev. B 94, 195115 (2016) - Published 8 November, 2016

Due to their unique balance of energy scales, correlated iridates have proven a fruitful materials platform for both the prediction and discovery of numerous novel electronic phases and ground states. The comparable strengths of spin-orbit coupling, on-site Coulomb interactions, and local crystal-field splitting inherent to the iridium cations hosted within various lattice geometries has led to the realization of a novel form of spin-orbit assisted Mott insulating ground state, where the iridium’s spin and orbital angular momenta become entangled into a $J_{eff}$ =1/2 wave function. In this paper, the stability of this state with respect to chemical pressure is explored in the prototypical spin-orbit assisted Mott insulator Sr2IrO $_{4}$ . This study reveals that isovalent substitution of smaller Ca $^{2 +}$ onto Sr $^{2 +}$ sites in this system drives the lattice to evolve through three distinct structural phases with increasing Ca $^{2 +}$ content: evolving from the parent quasi-two-dimensional $n$ =1 Ruddlesden-Popper structure, to a novel three dimensional corner sharing IrO $_{6}$ octahedral network to a quasi-one dimensional IrO $_{6}$ edge-sharing chain structure. All three phases remain insulators reliant on the inherently strong spin-orbit coupling of Ir. However, their magnetic properties evolve dramatically across the phase diagram. The work here provides a global view of the evolution of the structural and electronic properties of Sr2IrO $_{4}$ as its lattice is destabilized via chemical pressure.

Negativity spectrum of one-dimensional conformal field theories

Paola Ruggiero, Vincenzo Alba, and Pasquale Calabrese

Phys. Rev. B 94, 195121 (2016) - Published 10 November, 2016

Logarithmic negativity is a proper measure of quantum entanglement in mixed states. Originally proposed in the context of quantum information, in recent years it is attracting interest in quantum field theory, condensed matter physics, and statistical physics. The key object to construct the negativity is the partial transpose of the reduced density matrix. Here, focusing on two adjacent intervals, the authors provide a complete study of the distribution of the eigenvalues of the partial transpose (negativity spectrum) for gapless one-dimensional systems described by a conformal field theory (CFT). Similar to the entanglement spectrum, the distribution of the negativity spectrum is universal, and it depends only on the central charge of the underlying CFT. The precise form of the spectrum depends on whether the two intervals are in a pure or mixed state, and in both cases, a dependence on the sign of the eigenvalues is found. This dependence is weak for bulk eigenvalues, whereas it is strong at the spectrum edges. The authors also investigate the scaling of the smallest (negative) and largest (positive) eigenvalues of the partial transpose. The analytical results are thoroughly checked against numerical DMRG simulations as well as in exactly solvable models.

Fermi surface evolution of Na-doped PbTe studied through density functional theory calculations and Shubnikov–de Haas measurements

P. Giraldo-Gallo, B. Sangiorgio, P. Walmsley, H. J. Silverstein, M. Fechner, S. C. Riggs, T. H. Geballe, N. A. Spaldin, and I. R. Fisher

Phys. Rev. B 94, 195141 (2016) - Published 23 November, 2016

Lead telluride (PbTe) is a widely known thermoelectric material and a narrow-gap semiconductor. The introduction of impurity dopants in this compound has shown to significantly increase the thermoelectric figure of merit, and for certain dopants, to even lead the material to a superconducting ground state. Understanding the physical origin of these enhanced properties and their dependence on the choice of dopant chemistry requires a detailed knowledge of the electronic structure, in particular its evolution with carrier concentrations. With this in mind, the authors of this paper present a combined experimental and first-principles study of the evolution of the low-temperature Fermi surface of Na-doped PbTe. Their Shubnikov–de Haas measurements allowed the determination of the full morphology of the Fermi surface for hole concentrations one order of magnitude higher than other previous studies in this material, showing that the band dispersion is consistent with a nonparabolic single-band Kane-model dispersion, in which the hole-pockets are ellipsoids of fixed anisotropy throughout the band, but the effective masses depend strongly on Fermi energy. Additionally, the authors show that standard density functional calculations underestimate the energy difference between the first two valence-band maxima, since their experimental data is consistent with a single-band Fermi surface over the entire doping range studied.

The “parity” anomaly on an unorientable manifold

Edward Witten

Phys. Rev. B 94, 195150 (2016) - Published 28 November, 2016

The “parity” anomaly is a potential violation of time-reversal and reflection symmetry that can occur for relativistic fermions coupled to gauge fields and/or gravity in 2+1 dimensional spacetime. It has played a role in condensed matter physics since the work of Haldane and others in the 1980’s. Only recently, as a result of developments in the theory of topological superconductors, has it been understood that the extension of this anomaly to an unorientable spacetime is significant. In the present paper, a systematic description is given of the “parity” anomaly on an unorientable spacetime. This is used to get a fuller understanding of gapped symmetry-preserving boundary states of a topological superconductor and to resolve some questions about the world-volume path integral of M-theory membranes.

Magnetic structures and excitations in a multiferroic Y-type hexaferrite ${BaSrCo}_{2} {Fe}_{11} {AlO}_{22}$

Taro Nakajima, Yusuke Tokunaga, Masaaki Matsuda, Sachith Dissanayake, Jaime Fernandez-Baca, Kazuhisa Kakurai, Yasujiro Taguchi, Yoshinori Tokura, and Taka-hisa Arima

Phys. Rev. B 94, 195154 (2016) - Published 30 November, 2016

Multiferroic hexaferrites have been extensively investigated because they exhibit ferroelectricity associated with noncollinear magnetic orders in relatively low magnetic field and high temperature regions. To understand the static and dynamical spin-polarization coupling in such systems, it is necessary to determine the magnetic structures and spin-wave modes. This is impossible for polycrystalline samples. Here, the authors have successfully grown single crystals of BaSrCo $_{2}$ Fe $_{12}$ AlO $_{22}$ by means of a laser floating zone technique. They perform magnetization, electric polarization, and neutron diffraction measurements to establish the magnetic phase diagram. Several interesting features are seen and the new understanding should provide a useful guide for developing multiferroic-based functional devices working at room temperature.

Classical origin of conductance oscillations in an integrable cavity

Christina Pöltl, Aleksey Kozikov, Klaus Ensslin, Thomas Ihn, Rodolfo A. Jalabert, Christian Reichl, Werner Wegscheider, and Dietmar Weinmann

Phys. Rev. B 94, 195304 (2016) - Published 7 November, 2016

Quantum transport of electrons through ultraclean two-dimensional cavities depends sensitively on the geometry. In scanning gate microscopy, the charged tip is a valuable tool to tune the shape of a cavity while measuring its conductance, and thus to address questions of quantum chaos, such as the relevance of the underlying classical electron dynamics. For the tip placed in the center of an integrable cavity of circular shape, a remarkable nonmonotonic variation of the conductance is measured as a function of the voltage applied to the tip. Numerical simulations yield conductance oscillations with tip strength that agree well with the experimental findings. A semiclassical analysis of the conductance, based on the classical trajectories transmitted through the cavity, reproduces the conductance oscillations, proving that the effect is of classical origin. Remarkably, only particular classes of short trajectories are responsible for the effect within this semiclassical analysis. When the strength of the tip-induced potential is increased, the character of the dominant trajectories alternates between transmitted and reflected ones, thereby providing an unusually simple explanation for the observed phenomenon.
