Generalization of Bloch's theorem for arbitrary boundary conditions: Theory

Abhijeet Alase, Emilio Cobanera, Gerardo Ortiz, and Lorenza Viola

Phys. Rev. B 96, 195133 (2017) - Published 15 November, 2017

Can one steer a material by its surface? A generalization of Bloch’s theorem to arbitrary boundary conditions reveals actionable links going from surface physics towards changing overall electronic properties. Furthermore, it predicts the existence, in short-range systems, of topological zero-energy modes with power-law corrections, and answers basic questions about system sizes, for which bulk and surface properties merge. The theorem yields exact inversion-free diagonalization algorithms, potentially of interest for large-scale band-structure calculations, by leveraging two new constructs: the analytic continuation of the Bloch Hamiltonian off the Brillouin zone and the boundary matrix that efficiently encodes the interplay between bulk and boundary conditions.

Observation of Volkov-Pankratov states in topological HgTe heterojunctions using high-frequency compressibility

A. Inhofer, S. Tchoumakov, B. A. Assaf, G. Fève, J. M. Berroir, V. Jouffrey, D. Carpentier, M. O. Goerbig, B. Plaçais, K. Bendias, D. M. Mahler, E. Bocquillon, R. Schlereth, C. Brüne, H. Buhmann, and L. W. Molenkamp

Phys. Rev. B 96, 195104 (2017) - Published 1 November, 2017

A smooth heterojunction between a topological (left panel of figure) and a trivial (right panel) hosts not only chiral Dirac states but also massive Volkov-Pankratov states (VPSs). The authors show that VPSs behave in a relativistic manner in a strong electric field: not only are they populated in increasing chemical potential, but their energy is lowered in a Lorentz boost by the electric field thus enhancing their visibility. Signatures of this relativistic field effect are reported in HgTe/CdHgTe heterojunctions using high-frequency transport measurements. These include anomalous charge screening (Dirac screening), its breakdown at the VPS band edge, and evidence of multiple VPSs.

Out-of-equilibrium dynamics in a quantum impurity model: Numerics for particle transport and entanglement entropy

Kemal Bidzhiev and Grégoire Misguich

Phys. Rev. B 96, 195117 (2017) - Published 8 November, 2017

Here, the authors investigate the out-of-equilibrium properties of a simple quantum impurity model: the interacting resonant level model. They focus on the scaling regime, where the bandwidth of the fermions in the leads is larger than all the other energies, so that the lattice and the continuum versions of the model become equivalent. Using time-dependent density matrix renormalization group simulations, the new results cover a range of parameters, complementing previous analytical results that exist for only a few points in parameter space. The chief results are a demonstration of scaling collapse for $I$ - $V$ curves and for entanglement in terms of the Kondo temperature.

Correlation-driven metal-insulator transition in proximity to an iron-based superconductor

A. Charnukha, Z. P. Yin, Y. Song, C. D. Cao, Pengcheng Dai, K. Haule, G. Kotliar, and D. N. Basov

Phys. Rev. B 96, 195121 (2017) - Published 9 November, 2017

The search for higher-T $_{c}$ superconductivity is in the vanguard of contemporary physics. Most unconventional high-T $_{c}$ superconductors exist near a correlated-insulator phase. Unexpectedly, no such phase has been discovered in the family of unconventional iron-based high-temperature superconductors despite almost a decade of intensive search. Here, the authors perform detailed optical spectroscopy and $a b$ $i n i t i o$ studies of NaFe $_{1 - x}$ Cu $_{x}$ As that reveal the existence of critically strong electronic correlations in this family of iron-based materials, culminating in a novel correlation-driven insulating parent phase with a large spectroscopic gap in the excitation spectrum. These results may lead to the discovery of new types of superconductivity in proximity to the novel correlated insulator.

Charge puddles in the bulk and on the surface of the topological insulator ${BiSbTeSe}_{2}$ studied by scanning tunneling microscopy and optical spectroscopy

T. Knispel, W. Jolie, N. Borgwardt, J. Lux, Zhiwei Wang, Yoichi Ando, A. Rosch, T. Michely, and M. Grüninger

Phys. Rev. B 96, 195135 (2017) - Published 16 November, 2017

The peculiar surface transport properties of topological insulators often require tuning of the Fermi level close to the Dirac point. This, however, reduces the screening capabilities of the Dirac-like surface carriers and thus enhances the sensitivity to Coulomb disorder present in compensated materials. Coulomb disorder drives the formation of puddles, local accumulations of charge carriers both in the bulk and on the surface. In the topological insulator BiSbTeSe $_{2}$ , the coexistence of surface puddles and bulk puddles is revealed by scanning tunneling spectroscopy and optical spectroscopy. Quantitative analysis shows that bulk puddles contribute to the screening of surface potential fluctuations in this undoped compound. Understanding and controlling the puddles will be a key to realizing novel phenomena in 3D topological materials.

Entanglement spectroscopy on a quantum computer

Sonika Johri, Damian S. Steiger, and Matthias Troyer

Phys. Rev. B 96, 195136 (2017) - Published 20 November, 2017

The efficient simulation of many-body quantum systems is an important application of quantum computers. However, extracting useful information from a system of qubits is not straightforward. The quantum computing equivalent of the vast array of diagnostic tools that extract information from classical numerical simulation are still being developed. This paper addresses the efficient calculation of quantities that characterize entanglement between different parts of a quantum state using a quantum computer. Illustrative examples of applications as diverse as many-body localization and fractional quantum Hall effect are discussed.

Machine learning topological states

Dong-Ling Deng, Xiaopeng Li, and S. Das Sarma

Phys. Rev. B 96, 195145 (2017) - Published 22 November, 2017

Machine learning, the core of artificial intelligence and data science, is a very active field, with vast applications throughout science and technology. Recently, machine learning techniques have been adopted to tackle intricate quantum many-body problems and phase transitions. In this work, the authors construct exact mappings from exotic quantum states to machine learning network models. This work shows for the first time that the restricted Boltzmann machine can be used to study both symmetry-protected topological phases and intrinsic topological order. The exact results are expected to provide a substantial boost to the field of machine learning of phases of matter.

Quantum disentangled liquid in the half-filled Hubbard model

Thomas Veness, Fabian H. L. Essler, and Matthew P. A. Fisher

Phys. Rev. B 96, 195153 (2017) - Published 27 November, 2017

Our expectation of thermalization is one borne of experience, and it is interesting to understand how conventional statistical mechanics may fail. The so-called quantum disentangled liquid (QDL) is a paradigm outside of the (Generalized) Gibbs description, but also without spatial disorder, precluding many-body localization. In this paper, the authors provide evidence that this QDL behavior exists in the Hubbard model. The QDL diagnostic involves bipartite entanglement entropies after a partial measurement. Both integrability in 1D and strong-coupling techniques are used to argue that the QDL diagnostic is indeed satisfied.

Cuprate phase diagram and the influence of nanoscale inhomogeneities

N. Zaki, H.-B. Yang, J. D. Rameau, P. D. Johnson, H. Claus, and D. G. Hinks

Phys. Rev. B 96, 195163 (2017) - Published 28 November, 2017

The phase diagram associated with cuprate superconductors is complicated by an array of different ground states. The parent material represents an antiferromagnetic insulator, but becomes a high-temperature superconductor upon doping. The underdoped region of the phase diagram is dominated by the so-called pseudogap phenomena, whose understanding presents one of the great challenges for the field. However, another aspect of these complex systems that is frequently overlooked is the tendency to phase separate into nanoscale regions upon hole doping. The overdoped region allowed the authors to examine the influence of the latter on the overall structure of the phase diagram.

Ultrafast optical snapshots of hybrid perovskites reveal the origin of multiband electronic transitions

Kannatassen Appavoo, Wanyi Nie, Jean-Christophe Blancon, Jacky Even, Aditya D. Mohite, and Matthew Y. Sfeir

Phys. Rev. B 96, 195308 (2017) - Published 28 November, 2017

Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites are a promising class of materials for low-temperature solution-processed thin-film optoelectronic technologies. Here, the authors assign the visible and near-infrared optical transitions in large-grain thin films, using variable temperature transient absorption measurements that provide a sensitive probe of the electronic energy levels. These studies address an ongoing controversy concerning the nature of higher-order subband transitions. The strong visible absorption band is assigned to nearly degenerate transitions originating from different momentum states within the multivalley electronic band structure using symmetry analysis and the response of the optical resonances during the low-temperature structural phase transition.

Nonlocal transport and the Hall viscosity of two-dimensional hydrodynamic electron liquids

Francesco M. D. Pellegrino, Iacopo Torre, and Marco Polini

Phys. Rev. B 96, 195401 (2017) - Published 1 November, 2017

Hydrodynamics is a powerful theory for the description of transport in materials where the electron-electron mean-free path is much smaller than all the other length scales of the problem. Such a nonperturbative theory relies on a small number of coefficients, such as bulk and shear viscosities and thermal conductivity. When time-reversal symmetry is broken, a new dissipationless term, controlled by the Hall viscosity, appears in the Navier-Stokes equation. Here, the authors demonstrate that measurements of nonlocal resistances in multiterminal Hall-bar devices allow one to access the Hall viscosity of a two-dimensional electron liquid.

Circularly polarized vacuum field in three-dimensional chiral photonic crystals probed by quantum dot emission

S. Takahashi, Y. Ota, T. Tajiri, J. Tatebayashi, S. Iwamoto, and Y. Arakawa

Phys. Rev. B 96, 195404 (2017) - Published 3 November, 2017

The modification of a circularly polarized vacuum field in three-dimensional chiral photonic crystals was measured by spontaneous emission from quantum dots in the structures. Due to the circularly polarized eigenmodes along the helical axis in the GaAs-based mirror-asymmetric structures involved, the authors observed highly circularly-polarized emission from the quantum dots. Both spectroscopic and time-resolved measurements confirmed that the obtained circularly-polarized light was influenced by a large difference in the photonic density of states between the orthogonal components of the circular polarization in the vacuum field.
