Optical detection of transverse spin-Seebeck effect in permalloy film using Sagnac interferometer microscopy

Ryan McLaughlin, Dali Sun, Chuang Zhang, Matthew Groesbeck, and Z. Valy Vardeny

Phys. Rev. B 95, 180401(R) (2017) - Published 8 May, 2017

Here, the authors investigate the possibility of building up nonequilibrium spin accumulation in a ferromagnetic thin film composed of a metallic alloy of nickel and iron, commonly known as permalloy. Analogously to thermoelectric generators, a temperature gradient in a ferromagnet is known to generate a distribution of accumulated electron spins over macroscopic distances, which may be used as an efficient source of spin-polarized electrons in future spintronic devices. To enable the detection and quantitative determination of this imbalance of electron spins, the authors have developed an entirely optical technique, based on the magneto-optical Kerr effect, using a Sagnac interferometer microscope with a spatial resolution of one micrometer and an absolute polarization angle resolution of ten nanoradians. This new technique is not only robust against electrical artifacts, but allows the user to measure previously inaccessible experimental geometries where the magnetization is not restricted to lying in the plane of the film.

Phase diagram of $α - {RuCl}_{3}$ in an in-plane magnetic field

J. A. Sears, Y. Zhao, Z. Xu, J. W. Lynn, and Young-June Kim

Phys. Rev. B 95, 180411(R) (2017) - Published 31 May, 2017

The Kitaev model is a spin model on a honeycomb lattice with bond-dependent anisotropic interactions whose ground state is an exactly solvable example of a quantum spin liquid. Interest in this model has been growing rapidly due to the potential for realization of this artificial model in insulating materials with strong spin-orbit interactions. One such example is the layered honeycomb material $α$ -RuCl $_{3}$ . Although this material orders magnetically rather than realizing a spin liquid ground state, there have been suggestions that suppression of the magnetic order through application of magnetic field could reveal a quantum spin liquid phase in this material. In this work, the authors examine the temperature-field phase diagram of $α$ -RuCl $_{3}$ using neutron diffraction and bulk thermodynamic measurements. They found that the magnetic order disappears at magnetic fields above 8 Tesla, and a magnetic gap showing quantum critical scaling opens up in the high field phase.

Scaling of subgap excitations in a superconductor-semiconductor nanowire quantum dot

Eduardo J. H. Lee, Xiaocheng Jiang, Rok Žitko, Ramón Aguado, Charles M. Lieber, and Silvano De Franceschi

Phys. Rev. B 95, 180502(R) (2017) - Published 15 May, 2017

The subgap excitations known as Andreev levels govern the low-energy physics of hybrid superconductor-semiconductor nanostructures, and lie at the origin of topological superconductivity. A quantitative understanding of their scaling with respect to relevant parameters is, however, still limited. Here, the authors address this issue for the prototypical case of a quantum dot coupled to a superconductor. Experimentally, the authors demonstrate the ability to controllably tune the hybridization of the dot and the superconductor. In addition, they develop a methodology to reliably extract the relevant parameters by numerically adjusting the Anderson model to the experimental data. As a result, they carefully study the scaling of Andreev levels within the parameter space and obtain an experimental phase diagram of the system. Their results show an impressive quantitative agreement with the theory.

Acoustic waves undetectable by transient reflectivity measurements

Chuan He, Oliver Ristow, Martin Grossmann, Delia Brick, Yuning Guo, Martin Schubert, Mike Hettich, Vitalyi Gusev, and Thomas Dekorsy

Phys. Rev. B 95, 184302 (2017) - Published 11 May, 2017

In laser ultrasonics, ultrashort light pulses generate coherent acoustic pulses of picosecond duration via multiple possible physical mechanisms, involving optoacoustic conversion processes. These wide-band GHz acoustic signals are optically detected at the sample surfaces by ultrafast time-delayed probe light pulses. When the coherent acoustic pulses in GaAS are detected via the Brillouin scattering of probe light pulses of 400 nm wavelength, certain spectral components of the acoustic pulses remain invisible. The theoretical analysis relates this observation to the existence of zeros in the spectral transformation function of acousto-optic conversion. The phenomenon of zero sensitivity of the optical reflectivity to coherent acoustic phonons of particular frequencies is rather general and depends on both the probe light wavelength and the evaluated material. These findings substantially contribute to picosecond ultrasonics and laser-based nondestructive testing.

Nonstoquastic Hamiltonians and quantum annealing of an Ising spin glass

Layla Hormozi, Ethan W. Brown, Giuseppe Carleo, and Matthias Troyer

Phys. Rev. B 95, 184416 (2017) - Published 15 May, 2017

Quantum annealers are computing machines that utilize quantum effects to solve hard optimization problems. Understanding the circumstances under which quantum annealers are more efficient than other optimization methods is a challenging open problem. A clue to this conundrum comes from studying the complexity of quantum annealers. In general, the complexity of a physical system relates to how efficiently the system can be simulated by classical algorithms. One then asks: if some class of quantum annealers are hard to simulate classically, are they also more powerful optimization machines? Here, the authors study quantum annealers belonging to two different complexity classes: the so-called “stoquastic” systems, which can be efficiently simulated with classical algorithms, and “nonstoquastic” systems, currently with no efficient classical treatment. Applied to a prototypical optimization problem, the authors observe that, on average, the stoquastic systems perform better on easier instances of the problem, while the more complex nonstoquastic annealers show significant advantage when applied to the hardest instances. The authors conjecture that the performance of the nonstoquastic Hamiltonians is closely related to their internal structure during the annealing process and elucidate how properties such as magnetic frustration can play a key role in devising more powerful quantum annealers.

Structural dynamics during laser-induced ultrafast demagnetization

Emmanuelle Jal, Víctor López-Flores, Niko Pontius, Tom Ferté, Nicolas Bergeard, Christine Boeglin, Boris Vodungbo, Jan Lüning, and Nicolas Jaouen

Phys. Rev. B 95, 184422 (2017) - Published 18 May, 2017

Despite two decades of intense research, the origin of ultrafast demagnetization remains disputed. Here, the authors employ resonant magnetic x-ray reflectivity to follow simultaneously magnetization and structural dynamics at the BESSY femtoslicing source. They find that significant changes in nonmagnetic x-ray reflectivity accompany the subpicosecond demagnetization, which can be modeled as a variation of film thickness. Their simulations further show that the higher photon flux and energy resolution provided by x-ray free electron lasers will yield decisive data to differentiate between different mechanisms proposed to govern ultrafast demagnetization dynamics.

Odd-frequency superconductivity in a nanowire coupled to Majorana zero modes

Shu-Ping Lee, Roman M. Lutchyn, and Joseph Maciejko

Phys. Rev. B 95, 184506 (2017) - Published 8 May, 2017

Here, the authors argue that the recent experimental discovery of Majorana zero modes in topological superconductors may be the key to realizing an elusive state of matter, the odd-frequency superconductor, in which Cooper pairing is entirely dynamical in nature. Via an exactly soluble model, it is shown that when Majorana zero modes couple to a spin-polarized metallic system, equal-spin $s$ -wave odd-frequency pairing is generically induced in the spin-polarized metal. The key properties of odd-frequency superconductivity, such as a vanishing static superconducting order parameter and a paramagnetic Meissner effect, are demonstrated in this system by explicit calculations.
