Suppression of electronic correlations by chemical pressure from FeSe to FeS

P. Reiss, M. D. Watson, T. K. Kim, A. A. Haghighirad, D. N. Woodruff, M. Bruma, S. J. Clarke, and A. I. Coldea

Phys. Rev. B 96, 121103(R) (2017) - Published 5 September, 2017

In iron-based superconductors, the interplay between nematicity, magnetism, and superconductivity is still not fully understood. Experimentally, the isoelectronic series FeSe1-xSx provides an ideal playground to tune different electronic ground states and to selectively investigate their mutual interplay. Here, the authors use high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to compare the electronic structure of different single crystals in the tetragonal phase. They find that in the absence of nematicity and magnetism, the substantial reduction of electronic correlations correlates with the decrease of the superconducting transition temperature from FeSe to FeS.

Three-band Hubbard model for Na2IrO3: Topological insulator, zigzag antiferromagnet, and Kitaev-Heisenberg material

Manuel Laubach, Johannes Reuther, Ronny Thomale, and Stephan Rachel

Phys. Rev. B 96, 121110(R) (2017) - Published 14 September, 2017

Na2IrO3 is a promising material to realize Kitaev physics in nature. Even though it shows long-range magnetic order of antiferromagnetic zigzag type at low temperature, the Kitaev interaction has been predicted to be significant. The origin of zigzag order, however, is currently still debated. Here, the authors suggest that adding charge fluctuations to the Kitaev-Heisenberg (KH) model represents an interesting explanation of zigzag antiferromagnetism. Moreover, their phenomenological three-band Hubbard model puts this material into a larger context as it combines topological insulator physics for weak electron interactions and KH physics for strong ones.

Approximating the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model with Majorana wires

Aaron Chew, Andrew Essin, and Jason Alicea

Phys. Rev. B 96, 121119(R) (2017) - Published 29 September, 2017

Randomly interacting Majorana fermions governed by the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model have recently been shown to exhibit profound links to quantum chaos and black holes. Here, the authors propose a solid-state implementation of the model that exploits hardware components that are now widely pursued for topological quantum computation – namely, an array of Majorana wires interfaced with a disordered quantum dot that mediates the desired interactions. This work highlights a potential pathway for using table-top condensed-matter systems to probe novel concepts from high-energy physics and quantum information.

Phenomenological theories of the low-temperature pseudogap: Hall number, specific heat, and Seebeck coefficient

S. Verret, O. Simard, M. Charlebois, D. Sénéchal, and A.-M. S. Tremblay

Phys. Rev. B 96, 125139 (2017) - Published 20 September, 2017

An elegant way to probe the mysterious “pseudogap” state in cuprates is to suppress superconductivity with strong magnetic fields and work at low temperature. Then, impurity scattering dominates, which simplifies calculations. A number of theories thus successfully explain the sudden change in carrier number observed experimentally. To tell these theories apart, the work here provides new predictions. First, it shows how electron pockets cause strong signatures in the specific heat and Seebeck coefficient. Second, it addresses inconsistencies in scattering rate approximations for the Hall and the Seebeck effects. Third, it shows the influence of the Van Hove singularity on these quantities.

Scaling laws of Rydberg excitons

J. Heckötter, M. Freitag, D. Fröhlich, M. Aßmann, M. Bayer, M. A. Semina, and M. M. Glazov

Phys. Rev. B 96, 125142 (2017) - Published 22 September, 2017

The recent observation of excitons in highly excited states has allowed the study of Rydberg physics in cuprous oxide crystals. This opens the unique possibility to elaborate on similarities and differences between Rydberg atoms and Rydberg excitons, as done here experimentally and theoretically for quantities related to the splitting of multiplets with particular principal quantum number n in zero and finite electric or magnetic fields. The authors find characteristic scaling laws with n with some discrepancies between excitons and atoms, but surprisingly, they find mostly similarities, even though the underlying physics, such as the complex valence band structure, are quite different.

Higher-spin Witten effect and two-dimensional fracton phases

Michael Pretko

Phys. Rev. B 96, 125151 (2017) - Published 27 September, 2017

In addition to the familiar Maxwell terms, the Lagrangian for a three-dimensional U(1) gauge theory can have an extra “theta” term which has two effects: attaching electric charge to magnetic monopoles in the bulk, and generating a Chern-Simons term on the boundary. This work studies theta terms in the context of higher rank tensor U(1) gauge theories, which host gapless higher-spin gauge modes and subdimensional charge excitations. There are multiple different varieties of theta terms, enforcing different types of charge attachment in the bulk. These terms also lead to generalized tensor Chern-Simons theories on the boundary, bringing about the existence of two-dimensional fracton phases.

Universality of low-energy Rashba scattering

Joel Hutchinson and Joseph Maciejko

Phys. Rev. B 96, 125304 (2017) - Published 18 September, 2017

Materials with Rashba spin-orbit coupling have long been known to exhibit interesting transport properties due to their unique spin-momentum locking. However, the topology of the dispersion itself has an even more striking impact on electron-impurity scattering, which is only observable at ultralow energies. The authors investigate the universal properties of 2D electron scattering off of circularly symmetric potentials in this regime by deriving nonperturbative approximations for the low-energy scattering quantities, including the T-matrix, S-matrix, and scattering cross section. As the energy of the electron approaches the bottom of the lowest spin-split band, a number of unusual features appear: the low-energy S and T matrices become independent of the potential, all partial waves contribute equally, and the total scattering cross section exhibits quantized plateaus.

An elegant way to probe the mysterious “pseudogap” state in cuprates is to suppress superconductivity with strong magnetic fields and work at low temperature. Then, impurity scattering dominates, which simplifies calculations. A number of theories thus successfully explain the sudden change in carrier number observed experimentally. To tell these theories apart, the work here provides new predictions. First, it shows how electron pockets cause strong signatures in the specific heat and Seebeck coefficient. Second, it addresses inconsistencies in scattering rate approximations for the Hall and the Seebeck effects. Third, it shows the influence of the Van Hove singularity on these quantities.

Higher-spin Witten effect and two-dimensional fracton phases

Michael Pretko

Phys. Rev. B 96, 125151 (2017) - Published 27 September, 2017

In addition to the familiar Maxwell terms, the Lagrangian for a three-dimensional U(1) gauge theory can have an extra “theta” term which has two effects: attaching electric charge to magnetic monopoles in the bulk, and generating a Chern-Simons term on the boundary. This work studies theta terms in the context of higher rank tensor U(1) gauge theories, which host gapless higher-spin gauge modes and subdimensional charge excitations. There are multiple different varieties of theta terms, enforcing different types of charge attachment in the bulk. These terms also lead to generalized tensor Chern-Simons theories on the boundary, bringing about the existence of two-dimensional fracton phases.

Universality of low-energy Rashba scattering

Joel Hutchinson and Joseph Maciejko

Phys. Rev. B 96, 125304 (2017) - Published 18 September, 2017

Materials with Rashba spin-orbit coupling have long been known to exhibit interesting transport properties due to their unique spin-momentum locking. However, the topology of the dispersion itself has an even more striking impact on electron-impurity scattering, which is only observable at ultralow energies. The authors investigate the universal properties of 2D electron scattering off of circularly symmetric potentials in this regime by deriving nonperturbative approximations for the low-energy scattering quantities, including the T-matrix, S-matrix, and scattering cross section. As the energy of the electron approaches the bottom of the lowest spin-split band, a number of unusual features appear: the low-energy S and T matrices become independent of the potential, all partial waves contribute equally, and the total scattering cross section exhibits quantized plateaus.
