EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Topological semimetals protected by off-centered symmetries in nonsymmorphic crystals

Bohm-Jung Yang, Troels Arnfred Bojesen, Takahiro Morimoto, and Akira Furusaki

Phys. Rev. B 95, 075135 (2017) - Published 21 February, 2017

Recently, there have been extensive efforts to extend the physics of the two-dimensional (2D) graphene to three-dimensional (3D) semimetals with point/line nodes. Although it has been known that certain crystalline symmetries play an important role in protecting band degeneracy, a general recipe for stabilizing the degeneracy, especially in the presence of spin-orbit coupling, is still lacking. Here, the authors show that a class of novel topological semimetals with point/line nodes can emerge in the presence of an off-centered rotation/mirror symmetry whose symmetry line/plane is displaced from the center of other symmorphic symmetries in nonsymmorphic crystals. Due to the partial translation perpendicular to the rotation axis/mirror plane, an off-centered rotation/mirror symmetry always forces two energy bands to stick together and form a doublet pair in the relevant invariant line/plane in momentum space. Such a doublet pair provides a basic building block for emerging topological semimetals with point/line nodes in systems with strong spin-orbit coupling. When an external magnetic field is applied to these semimetals, a Dirac-type point/line node with four-fold degeneracy splits into two Weyl-type point/line nodes with two-fold degeneracy, with emergent surface states connecting the split nodes.

Dynamical quantum phase transitions in the quantum Potts chain

C. Karrasch and D. Schuricht

Phys. Rev. B 95, 075143 (2017) - Published 23 February, 2017

The time evolution of a quantum system after a sudden change of one of its parameters may show characteristic nonanalyticities, provided that this quench crosses a quantum phase transition. The authors investigate the relation between such dynamical quantum phase transitions and the universal properties of the corresponding quantum critical point.

Anisotropy induces non-Fermi-liquid behavior and nematic magnetic order in three-dimensional Luttinger semimetals

Igor Boettcher and Igor F. Herbut

Phys. Rev. B 95, 075149 (2017) - Published 27 February, 2017

The interplay of electronic correlations and spin-orbit coupling results in a rich phenomenology in semimetals with linear or quadratic band touching points. Remarkably, the associated low-energy physics and ground-state properties can often be described by effective field theories with enlarged symmetries such as rotation or Lorentz invariance. Realistic band structures of actual materials, however, are typically anisotropic and thus only allow for cubic rotation invariance. Here, the authors study the influence of anisotropy on the ground state of three-dimensional semimetals described by the Luttinger Hamiltonian, which captures the quadratic band touching present in HgTe, the pyrochlore iridates $R_{2}$ Ir $_{2}$ O $_{7}$ , or strongly correlated half-Heusler compounds such as YPtBi. They highlight that a sufficient amount of anisotropy can induce qualitatively new ground states in these systems, namely a scale-invariant non-Fermi liquid state, or different octupolar tensor orders that break time-reversal invariance. The latter configurations share features of magnets and nematic order, so one could call them “nemagnetic”. The authors clarify their very natural interpretation as all-in-all-out or spin ice configurations for electrons in the pyrochlore iridates.

Invisibility cloaking using pseudomagnetic field for photon

Fu Liu, Simon A. R. Horsley, and Jensen Li

Phys. Rev. B 95, 075157 (2017) - Published 28 February, 2017

An invisibility cloak makes itself and the object inside undetectable from the outside. For a cloak designed using transformation optics, light is bent around the object by changing the sizes and shapes of the local dispersion surfaces of the metamaterials surrounding the object. Here, the authors have found another way to build a cloak by using a concept called pseudomagnetic field, which accelerates the photon in a direction perpendicular to its velocity. It corresponds to shifting local dispersion surfaces. The new cloak bends the light in an asymmetric fashion for light passing the left and right side of the object for a fixed polarization of pseudospin. A truncation of the inner materials of the cloak creates an additional asymmetric transmission behavior. Furthermore, the new method also enables one to design more optical devices, such as a retroreflector.

Spin-orbit interactions in inversion-asymmetric two-dimensional hole systems: A variational analysis

E. Marcellina, A. R. Hamilton, R. Winkler, and Dimitrie Culcer

Phys. Rev. B 95, 075305 (2017) - Published 10 February, 2017

Many semiconductor nanostructures are made from planar two-dimensional heterojunction systems. With a view to merging semiconductor physics, spintronics, and quantum computing, strongly spin-orbit coupled systems such as semiconductor holes have generated burgeoning research interest. While recent experiments in various low-dimensional hole systems have shown great promise in achieving electrical spin control, a thorough understanding of spin-orbit interactions in holes is lacking. Owing to the intricate interactions between holes and their environment, calculations on two-dimensional holes in semiconductor heterojunctions have hitherto always been numerical and material specific, and thus are not easily generalizable to other material systems. In this work, the authors exploit the variational method, k.p perturbation theory, and the theory of invariants to derive general, semianalytical expressions for the spin-orbit interaction in semiconductor heterojunctions. In particular, the authors systematically evaluate the dependence of the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions on experimental parameters such as material, hole density, and background dopant type. The authors show that the semianalytical approach is easily generalizable to various materials, and present results for common semiconductors GaAs, Ge, InSb, InAs, and Si. Furthermore, the semianalytical results yield good agreement with existing numerical as well as experimental findings.

Topological transconductance quantization in a four-terminal Josephson junction

Erik Eriksson, Roman-Pascal Riwar, Manuel Houzet, Julia S. Meyer, and Yuli V. Nazarov

Phys. Rev. B 95, 075417 (2017) - Published 14 February, 2017

The investigation of topological transitions in quantum systems is a thriving area of modern research. The authors recently predicted that multiterminal Josephson junctions realize a novel type of topological matter. Weyl singularities may appear in the Andreev bound-state spectrum of junctions with four superconducting terminals, giving rise to topological transitions as the superconducting phases are tuned. These transitions manifest themselves in a quantization of the transconductance between two voltage-biased terminals in fundamental units of 4 $e^{2}$ 2/ $h$ , where $e$ is the electric charge and $h$ is the Planck constant. The present work addresses the observability of this effect. The quantized transconductance is associated with adiabatic transport at fixed occupations of the Andreev states. On the other hand, a bias voltage leads to multiple Andreev reflections, where a quasiparticle is dissipatively transferred from the occupied states below the superconducting gap to the empty states above the superconducting gap. By computing the currents in the presence of weak inelastic relaxation, the authors establish the voltage threshold below which the equilibrium occupations of the Andreev states are restored, and the transconductances reach their quantized values. The results are an important step towards experimental verification of the topological properties of multiterminal Josephson junctions.
