Topological tight-binding models from nontrivial square roots

J. Arkinstall, M. H. Teimourpour, L. Feng, R. El-Ganainy, and H. Schomerus

Phys. Rev. B 95, 165109 (2017) - Published 6 April, 2017

The historical origins of topological effects in wave equations can be traced to the relativistic Dirac equation, which includes fundamental symmetries related, for example, to spin and charge. Dirac devised his equation to eliminate the deficiencies of a previous theory, and achieved this by effectively taking the square root of the corresponding wave equation. Here, the authors explore the analogue of these considerations for tight-binding models. They show that starting from a suitable parent system, the square-root operation can induce nontrivial topological effects when it reduces the crystal symmetry, as this makes room for additional independent components and emerging fundamental symmetries. The resulting models display an enriched band structure, including additional gaps and controls to induce states into them. These models retain their scope for practical implementations, as the authors explore in the setting of silicon photonics.

Symmetry-protected topological Hopf insulator and its generalizations

Chunxiao Liu, Farzan Vafa, and Cenke Xu

Phys. Rev. B 95, 161116(R) (2017) - Published 27 April, 2017

The tenfold way classification of noninteracting topological insulators represents a great success towards understanding topological states of matter. The question the authors try to address is: can all possible topological insulators be represented by the prototypes in the tenfold way classification (perhaps enriched with some extra symmetries), or are there exceptions fundamentally different from those prototypes? The Hopf insulator was considered as a special type of TI that is not obviously represented by any prototype in the tenfold way classification, but its stability and classification were never clarified. In this work, the authors identify a generalized particle-hole symmetry that gives the Hopf insulator and its higher-dimensional analog a rigorous definition and classification. Moreover, they provide a very heuristic understanding of the minimal models for the 3 $d$ and 4 $d$ Hopf insulators, based on which possible experimental realization of a Hopf insulator can be found.

Locking of electron spin coherence above 20 ms in natural silicon carbide

D. Simin, H. Kraus, A. Sperlich, T. Ohshima, G. V. Astakhov, and V. Dyakonov

Phys. Rev. B 95, 161201(R) (2017) - Published 7 April, 2017

One of the challenges in quantum information science is to achieve ultralong spin coherence in naturally grown solid-state systems. So far, isotope engineering is generally needed to suppress the main relaxation mechanism caused by the interaction with nuclear spins. The authors demonstrate here that this ambitious goal can be achieved in binary compounds with natural isotope abundance too. They attain a spin-locked subspace with a drastically reduced spin-decoherence rate through the combination of two effects. First, the suppression of heteronuclear spin cross-talk is achieved by applying a moderate magnetic field. This leads to two dilute and weakly interacting spin baths. Second, because the interaction between nuclei becomes weak, the mutual spin flip-flop processes occur at lower rate, which can be viewed as a reduction of the high-frequency part of the noise spectrum. As a result, dynamic decoupling protocols demonstrate high performance. Using this approach, the authors are able to preserve a coherent spin superposition above 20 ms, which is an improvement by more than one order of magnitude compared to the earlier reported value in SiC.

Chiral anomaly factory: Creating Weyl fermions with a magnetic field

Jennifer Cano, Barry Bradlyn, Zhijun Wang, Max Hirschberger, N. P. Ong, and B. A. Bernevig

Phys. Rev. B 95, 161306(R) (2017) - Published 17 April, 2017

The Weyl fermion – originally proposed to describe neutrinos – arises in a topological semimetallic phase in condensed matter systems, exhibiting such novel properties as surface Fermi arcs and a chiral anomaly. Although Weyl fermions have been observed, it is challenging to find materials that exhibit them near the Fermi level. The authors prove that Weyl fermions can be created in band-inverted materials in a large class of crystal systems by applying a magnetic field along various symmetry axes of the crystal. As the field direction is changed, the Weyl points move in momentum space, during which time pairs are created and annihilated. However, in the highly symmetric $T_{d}$ point group, the Weyl points cannot completely disappear: at least one pair must remain for any direction of the magnetic field. Furthermore, a semiclassical analysis shows that the magnetoresistance scales differently for Weyl fermions created by a magnetic field compared to intrinsic Weyl points. The ability to create Weyl fermions will lead to new material candidates in these crystal systems; controlling their positions opens the possibility to track and manipulate Fermi arcs.

Partial time-reversal transformation and entanglement negativity in fermionic systems

Hassan Shapourian, Ken Shiozaki, and Shinsei Ryu

Phys. Rev. B 95, 165101 (2017) - Published 3 April, 2017

Quantum systems are known to exhibit several types of exotic behavior beyond classical physics, including quantum entanglement, which describes a web of nonlocal correlations among the constituents of the system. Despite numerous advances in understanding and quantifying the bipartite entanglement entropy of a pure state, where the whole system is described by a wave function, less is understood about quantum entanglement of a mixed state, where the system is described by a density matrix. The partial transpose of the density matrix, in which one takes the transpose only for a subsystem, and its corresponding entanglement measure – called the (logarithmic) negativity – have been introduced as an effective probe for the quantum entanglement in bosonic mixed states. In this work, the authors present a scheme to compute an analog of the entanglement negativity in the fermionic mixed states using a partial time-reversal transformation. Various examples are investigated. In particular, it is shown that the partial time reversal is an intrinsically fermionic construction, in that it can capture the formation of the edge Majorana fermions, while the partial transpose obtained from the bosonic partial transpose through the Jordan-Wigner transformation fails.

Bosonic integer quantum Hall effect as topological pumping

Masaya Nakagawa and Shunsuke Furukawa

Phys. Rev. B 95, 165116 (2017) - Published 12 April, 2017

Topological pumping, which was originally proposed by Thouless, is a beautiful manifestation of quantum effects in transport phenomena. Thouless’s topological pumping is characterized by the topology of Bloch states in the space of momentum and time, and can be viewed as a dynamical analog of the integer quantum Hall effect of noninteracting fermions. Here, the authors propose a systematic procedure to construct nontrivial classes of topological pumping from strongly correlated quantum Hall states on a thin torus. In particular, this procedure is applied to the bosonic integer quantum Hall (BIQH) state formed by two species of bosons. The BIQH state is an example of a symmetry-protected topological (SPT) state of interacting bosons, and is characterized by nontrivial Hall responses. The authors find that the thin-torus counterpart of the BIQH state is the Haldane state of emergent spin-1 degrees of freedom, which is also a SPT state. The authors further show that an adiabatic change between the Haldane phase and trivial Mott insulators constitute an “off-diagonal” topological pumping, in which the translation of the lattice potential for one component induces a current in the other.

Internal field effect on vortex states in the layered organic superconductor $λ$ -(BETS) $_{2} {Fe}_{1 - x} {Ga}_{x} {Cl}_{4}$ $(x = 0.37)$

S. Uji, T. Terashima, T. Konoike, T. Yamaguchi, S. Yasuzuka, A. Kobayashi, and B. Zhou

Phys. Rev. B 95, 165133 (2017) - Published 24 April, 2017

Among various superconductors, the series of the layered organic superconductors, $λ$ -(BETS) $_{2}$ Fe $_{1 - x}$ Ga $_{x}$ Cl $_{4}$ , where BETS=bis(ethylenedithio)tetraselenafulvalene, is known to show very unique phase diagrams because of the exchange interaction between the conduction electrons in the BETS layer and the localized 3 $d$ spins of the Fe ions in the insulating layers. The large internal field ( $H_{int}$ ) by the 3 $d$ spins is theoretically predicted to induce a peculiar superconducting phase diagram, where a paramagnetic phase with unconventional vortices appears. By systematic measurements of the magnetic torque and resistance, the authors determine the magnetic phase diagram for $x$ =0.37 for an in-plane field, which has a maximum $T_{c}$ at 14 T (= $H_{int}$ ). They also find anomalously large energy dissipation due to Josephson vortex dynamics for $H$ = $H_{int}$ , in which microscopic distributions of the paramagnetic and super-currents play an essential role. These results will help develop a new field in vortex matter physics.

Nonequilibrium dynamics in the one-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model: Comparison of the nonequilibrium Green-functions approach and the density matrix renormalization group method

N. Schlünzen, J.-P. Joost, F. Heidrich-Meisner, and M. Bonitz

Phys. Rev. B 95, 165139 (2017) - Published 25 April, 2017

Experiments with ultracold fermionic atoms in optical lattices have attracted much interest in condensed matter physics as they serve as a model for electrons in solids. While experiments now allow the observation of nonequilibrium transport processes with single-site resolution, the theoretical description, especially for strongly correlated fermions, remains very challenging. Standard methods, such as the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) and nonequilibrium Green functions (NEGF), have been primarily applied to one-dimensional systems and weak to moderate coupling, respectively. Here, the authors perform a detailed comparison of DMRG and NEGF and demonstrate that both can be benchmarked against each other. They observe complementary applicability ranges suggesting that a combination of both will allow to substantially expand the range and duration of first-principles quantum dynamics simulations for fermionic lattice systems.

Effective lattice model for the collective modes in a Fermi liquid with spin-orbit coupling

Abhishek Kumar and Dmitrii L. Maslov

Phys. Rev. B 95, 165140 (2017) - Published 26 April, 2017

Recently, there has been a surge of interest in effects arising from the interplay between the electron-electron interaction and spin-orbit coupling (SOC). One such effect is a novel type of collective spin excitations (chiral spin waves), which are oscillations of the magnetization that exist even without an external magnetic field. However, a typical experimental setup in a semiconductor heterostructure includes a magnetic field as well as both Rashba and Dresselhaus types of SOC. In this case, the spectrum of chiral spin waves becomes fairly complicated, with some branches running into or splitting off the continuum of spin-flip excitations. The authors show that this complicated physics can be understood by exact mapping of the quantum kinetic equation for a two-dimensional Fermi liquid onto an effective one-dimensional tight-binding model. This mapping is a useful tool that helps us to understand the nature of the collective modes in a Fermi liquid of arbitrary type.

Suppression of supercollision carrier cooling in high mobility graphene on SiC( $000 \bar{1}$ )

Phys. Rev. B 95, 165303 (2017) - Published 19 April, 2017

Graphene, a two-dimensional monatomic layer of crystal carbon, has recently emerged as a potential material for next-generation optoelectronic devices owing to unique properties arising from its massless Dirac fermions. However, the intrinsic carrier dynamics of graphene has remained a mystery even for the simple case of carrier cooling after the photoexcitation. This is because the observed temporal variations of the nonequilibrium carriers in graphene have been thoroughly described in terms of a defect-induced extrinsic effect known as “supercollision” (SC). The SC process is based on defect-mediated electron-acoustic phonon scattering and theoretically has been predicted to reduce with the increase of mobility of a material. Here, the authors have prepared extremely high mobility graphene and traced the dynamics of photoexcited carriers in the Dirac bands directly by time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. They successfully observed suppression of SC and extracted the intrinsic dynamical properties of graphene, such as anharmonic decay of the optical phonons and the bottleneck relaxation at the Dirac point. Breaking the limit of SC, their research also has technological significance in developing graphene-based optoelectronic devices.

Phase space manipulation of free-electron pulses from metal nanotips using combined terahertz near fields and external biasing

Lara Wimmer, Oliver Karnbach, Georg Herink, and Claus Ropers

Phys. Rev. B 95, 165416 (2017) - Published 13 April, 2017

This work studies the manipulation of photoelectron emission from metallic nanostructures by intense single-cycle terahertz transients. Specifically, the authors employ streaking spectroscopy to study the kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted from metal nanotips exposed to tailored static and terahertz electrical fields. Supported by detailed numerical simulations, the measurements provide quantitative information on the temporal and spatial properties of terahertz near fields at metal nanotips. The study illustrates far-reaching control over the trajectories and phase-space density evolution of photoelectron wavepackets acted upon by strong static and dynamic near fields. The results are relevant for applications of nanoscopic photoelectron sources employed in ultrafast electron diffraction and microscopy.
