Analogue of Rashba pseudo-spin-orbit coupling in photonic lattices by gauge field engineering

Y. Plotnik, M. A. Bandres, S. Stützer, Y. Lumer, M. C. Rechtsman, A. Szameit, and M. Segev

Phys. Rev. B 94, 020301(R) (2016) - Published 7 July, 2016

Engineering the gauge field of a physical system is a crucial step in the effort to control the behavior of waves. In the past few years, scientists have demonstrated the ability to design and implement artificial gauge fields in a variety of physical systems, which have played a major role in demonstrating various fascinating phenomena in both photonic and cold-atoms settings. In this Rapid Communication, the authors explore, theoretically and experimentally, a method to create artificial gauge fields. They implement this method for demonstrating the Rashba effect – the photonic equivalent of the spin-orbit coupling known from electronic systems.

Helicity, anisotropies, and their competition in a multiferroic magnet: Insight from the phase diagram

M. V. Gvozdikova, T. Ziman, and M. E. Zhitomirsky

Phys. Rev. B 94, 020406(R) (2016) - Published 14 July, 2016

The ability to explain and predict the behavior in magnetic field is essential for any possible application of multiferroic materials. Motivated by the complex phase diagrams of MnWO $_{4}$ and other spiral multiferroics, the authors formulate and investigate the anisotropic next-nearest-neighbor Heisenberg (ANNNH) model, which is a generalization of the celebrated ANNNI model to three component quantum spins. Using real-space mean-field simulations allowed for an unbiased construction of the magnetic phase diagram with multiple commensurate and incommensurate states. In particular, the biaxial anisotropy can explain the puzzling nonferroic reentrant phase of MnWO $_{4}$ at high magnetic fields. The employed numerical technique is capable of predicting the temperature and field dependence of the ordering wave vector produced by the competition between helicity and anisotropy. An important issue raised in the present study is the effect of quantum fluctuations on the devil’s staircase known to exist for the ANNNI model, but which is replaced by a “floating” incommensurate phase for the ANNNH model.

Octahedral rotation patterns in strained ${EuFeO}_{3}$ and other Pbnm perovskite films: Implications for hybrid improper ferroelectricity

A. K. Choquette, C. R. Smith, R. J. Sichel-Tissot, E. J. Moon, M. D. Scafetta, E. Di Gennaro, F. Miletto Granozio, E. Karapetrova, and S. J. May

Phys. Rev. B 94, 024105 (2016) - Published 7 July, 2016

The control of octahedral rotations in perovskite heterostructures is an emerging strategy for inducing new functionality as evidenced by recent predictions of improper ferroelectricity, polar metals, and multiferroics. Many of these predictions are predicated on the presence of a specific rotation pattern ( $a^{-} a^{-} c^{+}$ ) in superlattices that exhibit the orthorhombic ( $P b n m$ ) perovskite structural variant. The authors use synchrotron diffraction to measure the octahedral rotation patterns in strained ferrite, manganite, and gallate perovskite films finding that compressive strain strongly favors $a^{+} a^{-} c^{-}$ rotation patterns and tensile strain weakly favors $a^{-} a^{-} c^{+}$ structures. In contrast, films grown on orthorhombic substrates exhibit the same rotation pattern orientation as the substrate, even for epitaxial conditions where strain would favor the opposite structural orientation. The results indicate that substrate imprinting is a more robust method than strain for controlling the rotation pattern in $P b n m$ -type perovskite films, a finding that should enable more efficient experimental pursuits of rotation-driven ferroic states in oxide heterostructures.

Superconductivity in the ferromagnetic semiconductor samarium nitride

E.-M. Anton, S. Granville, A. Engel, S. V. Chong, M. Governale, U. Zülicke, A. G. Moghaddam, H. J. Trodahl, F. Natali, S. Vézian, and B. J. Ruck

Phys. Rev. B 94, 024106 (2016) - Published 7 July, 2016

Ferromagnetism and superconductivity are two generally incompatible states of matter. Their coexistence has been observed only under very unusual circumstances and so far only in metals. In contrast, most semiconductors are not naturally magnetic or superconducting, but introducing magnetism or superconductivity into semiconductors is seen as an important step towards radical improvement of our electronics capabilities and therefore a hotly pursued goal. Here, the authors report the discovery of superconductivity coexisting with ferromagnetism in the semiconducting material samarium nitride (SmN). The large intrinsic exchange splitting of the conduction band in SmN requires the superconducting order to be of unconventional (likely $p$ -wave) type. Superconductivity is observed to be even further enhanced in superlattices where layers of SmN alternate with layers made of the strongly ferromagnetic but non-superconducting material gadolinium nitride. These features render SmN an interesting laboratory for understanding more about the fundamentals of ferromagnetism and superconductivity in semiconductors and exploring opportunities for integrating superconducting spintronics into the design of semiconductor-based electronic devices.

Acoustic transmission through compound subwavelength slit arrays

G. P. Ward, A. P. Hibbins, J. R. Sambles, and J. D. Smith

Phys. Rev. B 94, 024304 (2016) - Published 12 July, 2016

Arrays of subwavelength slit cavities have been of interest to the acoustic metamaterial community for some years now, giving rise to such phenomena as “enhanced acoustic transmission”, where sound of certain wavelengths can transmit through the slit array structure as if it were not there. This behaviour is widely accepted as a coupling effect between diffraction evanescent waves arising from structure factor, and Fabry-Perot like resonances supported along the length of each slit cavity. Here, the authors explore the effect of altering the spacing, or width, of some of the slits that form the array, thereby forming a “compound” grating, where each periodic unit cell is comprised of multiple slit cavities. The transmission of such structures is experimentally recorded, where it is found that as one increases the number of slit cavities per unit cell, broad and deep minima can appear in the peaks of the primary enhanced acoustic transmission resonance that may have a strong angular dependence. These features owe their existence to the “phase resonance”, where new degrees of freedom available to the near field allow adjacent slit cavities to be out-of-phase with one another and thus destructively interfere with the re-radiated pressure wave. Such behaviour has been studied extensively in the electromagnetic case, where a surface wave band folding picture could be used to predict the dispersive nature of these phase resonances. A similar explanation of the underlying surface wave physics is extended here to the acoustic case.

Thermal spin injection and interface insensitivity in permalloy/aluminum metallic nonlocal spin valves

A. Hojem, D. Wesenberg, and B. L. Zink

Phys. Rev. B 94, 024426 (2016) - Published 21 July, 2016

In a wide range of experiments where electrical currents are used to inject angular momentum, or spin currents, from a metallic ferromagnet into a nonmagnetic metal, the interface plays a critical role. Whether in the giant magnetoresistance effect or in nonlocal spin valves, a loss of spin polarization of an electrical current crossing the interface is seen to reduce the spin current and lead to smaller overall response in sensors. The authors here compare electrical spin injection to the more recently discovered thermal spin injection in a nonlocal spin valve. They show that, despite a strong reduction of electrical spin injection that they tie to the loss of interfacial spin polarization, thermal spin injection remains a large effect. This highlights that thermal spin injection (also called the spin-dependent Seebeck effect) can proceed by new physical mechanisms not possible in the electrically driven case, potentially involving incoherent spin pumping and collective behavior of magnetization in the oxidized interface layer. Better understanding of these interface effects could lead to new ways to increase sensitivity of next-generation magnetic sensors and efficiency of sources of spin current in metallic systems.

Superconductivity from a confinement transition out of a fractionalized Fermi liquid with $Z_{2}$ topological and Ising-nematic orders

Shubhayu Chatterjee, Yang Qi, Subir Sachdev, and Julia Steinberg

Phys. Rev. B 94, 024502 (2016) - Published 5 July, 2016

A $Z_{2}$ fractionalized Fermi liquid (FL*) is a novel state of strongly correlated quantum matter. Although it is metallic, it violates Luttinger’s theorem on the volume enclosed by the Fermi surface obeyed by conventional metals; this is possible due to the presence of emergent gauge excitations. The authors study here the superconducting states that can arise out of instabilities of such a topological metal. In particular, they focus on a FL* topological metal that has favorable energetics on the square lattice with nematic order, relevant to the cuprate superconductors. They find that a Higgs transition out of this FL* results in confinement of the anyonic degrees of freedom, and the resulting state is a superconductor with broken translation symmetry or time-reversal invariance. In the process, they also establish a complete mapping between bosonic and fermionic descriptions of time-reversal invariant gapped insulating $Z_{2}$ spin liquid states on the rectangular lattice, which, on doping with charge carriers, can give rise to FL* phases. They also note a possible connection to the recent observation of pair density waves in the superconducting state of the underdoped cuprates.
