Self-learning Monte Carlo method: Continuous-time algorithm

Yuki Nagai, Huitao Shen, Yang Qi, Junwei Liu, and Liang Fu

Phys. Rev. B 96, 161102(R) (2017) - Published 3 October, 2017

The self-learning Monte Carlo (SLMC) method speeds up the Monte Carlo simulation by designing and training an effective model to propose efficient global updates. We implement the continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo algorithm for quantum impurity models in the framework of SLMC. We introduce and train a diagram generating function (DGF) to model the probability distribution of field configurations in the continuous imaginary time at all orders of diagrammatic expansion. By using the DGF to propose global updates, we show that the self-learning continuous-time Monte Carlo method can significantly reduce the computational complexity of the simulation.

Electronically highly cubic conditions for Ru in α−RuCl3

S. Agrestini, C.-Y. Kuo, K.-T. Ko, Z. Hu, D. Kasinathan, H. B. Vasili, J. Herrero-Martin, S. M. Valvidares, E. Pellegrin, L.-Y. Jang, A. Henschel, M. Schmidt, A. Tanaka, and L. H. Tjeng

Phys. Rev. B 96, 161107(R) (2017) - Published 12 October, 2017

α-RuCl3 is the most promising candidate for the long-sought materialization of the Kitaev model, where compasslike exchange interactions lead to a gapless spin liquid with emergent Majorana fermion excitations. Prerequisite for these expectations is that the symmetry-imposed noncubic crystal field is smaller compared to the spin-orbit coupling and does not perturb significantly the description of the electronic ground state in terms of the Jeff = 1/2 state. Here, the authors combine polarization-dependent x-ray absorption spectroscopy, a technique that gives direct access to the crystal field of a material, and full multiplet calculations to determine the size and sign of the noncubic crystal-field splitting. The results demonstrate that the “electronically cubic conditions” and the Jeff = 1/2 ground state for Ru in α-RuCl3 are fulfilled.

First-principles electron transport with phonon coupling: Large scale at low cost

Tue Gunst, Troels Markussen, Mattias L. N. Palsgaard, Kurt Stokbro, and Mads Brandbyge

Phys. Rev. B 96, 161404(R) (2017) - Published 11 October, 2017

Phonon-assisted tunneling plays a crucial role in sub-10-nanometer gate-length devices. Here, the authors present a first-principles special thermal displacement method that bridges the models used independently in molecular electronics and in device simulations. The method is conceptually simple and much more efficient than any existing first-principles transport method, enabling modeling of realistic rectifiers and transistors with account of electron-phonon coupling. The results are in excellent agreement with both experiments and state-of-the-art perturbation theory calculations discussed in the paper, demonstrating that the method is an appealing design tool for next-generation devices and nanomaterials.

Fractons from partons

Timothy H. Hsieh and Gábor B. Halász

Phys. Rev. B 96, 165105 (2017) - Published 5 October, 2017

Fracton phases are three dimensional topological phases in which quasiparticle excitations are restricted to move along planes, lines, or not to move at all. In this work, we show how such phases can be understood in terms of parton constructions, and in the process we find a new type-II model with fractal logical operators.

Dual gauge field theory of quantum liquid crystals in three dimensions

Aron J. Beekman, Jaakko Nissinen, Kai Wu, and Jan Zaanen

Phys. Rev. B 96, 165115 (2017) - Published 9 October, 2017

Quantum liquid crystals are strongly correlated quantum many-body systems with broken rotational symmetry but with partial or complete translational symmetry. Inspired by the classical theory for hexatic liquid crystals, which deals with the thermal unbinding of dislocations in 2D solids, the present work advances the idea that 3D solids can melt quantum mechanically via unbinding, or rather Bose-Einstein condensation, of dislocation worldsheets, resulting in quantum analogs of nematic, smectic, and columnar liquid crystals. In these phases, the phonons, as represented by two-form dual gauge fields, develop a mass gap reflecting the loss of shear rigidity.

Phys. Rev. B 96, 165118 (2017) - Published 10 October, 2017

Monocrystalline SnSe, which is a binary semiconductor, has recently been demonstrated to be a high-performance thermoelectric material with a record-high figure of merit of 2.6 at high temperature (923 K). Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, the authors probed the full electronic structure of SnSe. They observed three convergent hole bands with small energy differences in their band tops and relatively small in-plane effective masses, in agreement with ab initio calculations. These bands are critical for the enhancement of the Seebeck coefficient, while preserving the high electrical conductivity of the material. Thus, they represent a key factor contributing to the high figure of merit in SnSe.

One-dimensional symmetry protected topological phases and their transitions

Ruben Verresen, Roderich Moessner, and Frank Pollmann

Phys. Rev. B 96, 165124 (2017) - Published 12 October, 2017

The authors present a unified perspective on a large class of one-dimensional symmetry-protected topological phases. Characterizing critical points between such phases leads to a conjecture of a topological lower bound on the central charge in terms of the phase-specific edge mode dimension.

Bulk Fermi surface of the Weyl type-II semimetallic candidate γ−MoTe2

D. Rhodes, R. Schönemann, N. Aryal, Q. Zhou, Q. R. Zhang, E. Kampert, Y.-C. Chiu, Y. Lai, Y. Shimura, G. T. McCandless, J. Y. Chan, D. W. Paley, J. Lee, A. D. Finke, J. P. C. Ruff, S. Das, E. Manousakis, and L. Balicas

Phys. Rev. B 96, 165134 (2017) - Published 17 October, 2017

The electronic structure of WTe2 and of orthorhombic γ-MoTe2 are theoretically claimed to contain pairs of Weyl type-II points associated with linearly touching electron and hole pockets. A series of recent angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments claims to observe general agreement with these predictions. Here, the authors report a de Haas–van Alphen study on γ-MoTe2 which, in contrast to ARPES and predictions, finds a simpler and more isotropic Fermi surface. Upon the guidance of ARPES, they show here that it is possible to explain the observed Fermi surface geometry by an independent displacement of the theoretical electron and hole bands relative to the Fermi level. However, this ad hoc procedure, previously used by a number of groups, suppresses the crossings between electron and hole bands and hence the predicted Weyl type-II points.

Extremely large magnetoresistance and Kohler's rule in PdSn4: A complete study of thermodynamic, transport, and band-structure properties

Na Hyun Jo, Yun Wu, Lin-Lin Wang, Peter P. Orth, Savannah S. Downing, Soham Manni, Dixiang Mou, Duane D. Johnson, Adam Kaminski, Sergey L. Bud'ko, and Paul C. Canfield

Phys. Rev. B 96, 165145 (2017) - Published 27 October, 2017

A new type of a topological quantum structure was identified recently in PtSn4 as a Dirac node arc feature on the surface. More importantly, PtSn4 shows extremely large magnetoresistance (XMR). PdSn4 is isostructural with PtSn4 and has the same electron count. By comparing these similar compounds, the authors address the problem about the origin of the XMR in them and establish that neither the carrier compensation nor the Dirac node arc surface state can be the primary reason for it. On the other hand, Kohler’s rule scaling is fulfilled over the entire range of temperatures and field strengths that are explored here.

Phys. Rev. B 96, 165306 (2017) - Published 19 October, 2017

Planar photonic technology provides a highly promising route of creating an on-chip and on-demand source of single photons, which can be scaled into photonic circuitry. While self-assembled quantum dots have been proven to be excellent coherent single-photon emitters in many microscale structures, in nanoscale devices the photon coherence can be compromised due to the nearby surfaces. Here, the authors achieve 94% indistinguishability of photons emitted from a nanoscale photonic waveguide under p-shell excitation.

Narrow optical linewidths and spin pumping on charge-tunable close-to-surface self-assembled quantum dots in an ultrathin diode

Phys. Rev. B 96, 165440 (2017) - Published 30 October, 2017

Quantum dots in photonic crystal membrane structures are an attractive platform for on-chip quantum photonics. However, charge control of quantum dots in thin membranes is challenging. The widely used p-i-n diodes operate typically at high bias, resulting in high leakage currents. Here, a modified diode design is presented, fully compatible with the fabrication of photonic crystals, that enables deterministic charging of embedded quantum dots at small biases and, hence, small currents. Narrow optical linewidths and optical spin pumping are demonstrated on quantum dots in this ultrathin diode structure.

The electronic structure of WTe2 and of orthorhombic γ-MoTe2 are theoretically claimed to contain pairs of Weyl type-II points associated with linearly touching electron and hole pockets. A series of recent angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments claims to observe general agreement with these predictions. Here, the authors report a de Haas–van Alphen study on γ-MoTe2 which, in contrast to ARPES and predictions, finds a simpler and more isotropic Fermi surface. Upon the guidance of ARPES, they show here that it is possible to explain the observed Fermi surface geometry by an independent displacement of the theoretical electron and hole bands relative to the Fermi level. However, this ad hoc procedure, previously used by a number of groups, suppresses the crossings between electron and hole bands and hence the predicted Weyl type-II points.

A new type of a topological quantum structure was identified recently in PtSn4 as a Dirac node arc feature on the surface. More importantly, PtSn4 shows extremely large magnetoresistance (XMR). PdSn4 is isostructural with PtSn4 and has the same electron count. By comparing these similar compounds, the authors address the problem about the origin of the XMR in them and establish that neither the carrier compensation nor the Dirac node arc surface state can be the primary reason for it. On the other hand, Kohler’s rule scaling is fulfilled over the entire range of temperatures and field strengths that are explored here.

Planar photonic technology provides a highly promising route of creating an on-chip and on-demand source of single photons, which can be scaled into photonic circuitry. While self-assembled quantum dots have been proven to be excellent coherent single-photon emitters in many microscale structures, in nanoscale devices the photon coherence can be compromised due to the nearby surfaces. Here, the authors achieve 94% indistinguishability of photons emitted from a nanoscale photonic waveguide under p-shell excitation.

Quantum dots in photonic crystal membrane structures are an attractive platform for on-chip quantum photonics. However, charge control of quantum dots in thin membranes is challenging. The widely used p-i-n diodes operate typically at high bias, resulting in high leakage currents. Here, a modified diode design is presented, fully compatible with the fabrication of photonic crystals, that enables deterministic charging of embedded quantum dots at small biases and, hence, small currents. Narrow optical linewidths and optical spin pumping are demonstrated on quantum dots in this ultrathin diode structure.
