EDITORS' SUGGESTION

On-the-fly machine learning force field generation: Application to melting points

Ryosuke Jinnouchi, Ferenc Karsai, and Georg Kresse

Phys. Rev. B 100, 014105 (2019) - Published 17 July, 2019

An on-the-fly force field generation method is developed and applied to liquid-solid phase transitions. The method allows the machine to automatically self-learn interatomic potentials during molecular dynamics simulations and to generate force fields with the distinctive chemical precision of first-principles methods. Applications show that more than 99% of the expensive first-principles calculations are bypassed, and molecular dynamics simulations are accelerated by more than two orders of magnitude already during learning, with many more orders during production runs.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Group theoretical approach to computing phonons and their interactions

Lyuwen Fu, Mordechai Kornbluth, Zhengqian Cheng, and Chris A. Marianetti

Phys. Rev. B 100, 014303 (2019) - Published 18 July, 2019

The authors introduce a formalism for computing phonons and their interactions based upon space group irreducible derivatives, yielding an approach that satisfies all symmetries by construction. The formalism provides the most efficient finite-displacement algorithm allowed by group theory, resulting in speedups of more than an order of magnitude compared to competing approaches. These gains will make possible the study of vibrations in far more complex materials by means of DFT in addition to allowing expensive methods beyond DFT to be employed.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Seeing beyond the light: Vison and photon electrodynamics in quantum spin ice

Attila Szabó and Claudio Castelnovo

Phys. Rev. B 100, 014417 (2019) - Published 15 July, 2019

Quantum spin liquids are massively entangled phases of matter dominated by quantum fluctuations. While semiclassical approaches prove surprisingly powerful to study them analytically and numerically, they do not always capture the dynamical behavior and quasiparticle excitations correctly. Here, the authors develop a generic approach to obviate these problems and demonstrate its power on the example of quantum spin ice. They obtain detailed insights into the hitherto elusive vison quasiparticles in spin ice and uncover strong vison-photon interactions that may become manifest in inelastic scattering experiments.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Quantum paramagnetism and helimagnetic orders in the Heisenberg model on the body centered cubic lattice

Pratyay Ghosh, Tobias Müller, Francesco Parisen Toldin, Johannes Richter, Rajesh Narayanan, Ronny Thomale, Johannes Reuther, and Yasir Iqbal

Phys. Rev. B 100, 014420 (2019) - Published 16 July, 2019

It is a well-known fact that with increasing spatial dimensionality magnetic systems have a progressively higher tendency towards developing long-range magnetic order. Here, the authors investigate whether frustration could potentially counter this trend already in three dimensions. To this end, they investigate interacting spins on the body centered cubic lattice using a state-of-the-art functional renormalization group framework. The results indicate that strong frustration effects do lead to melting of the magnetic orders and have the potential to stabilize quantum spin liquid phases.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Increased lifetime of metastable skyrmions by controlled doping

M. T. Birch, R. Takagi, S. Seki, M. N. Wilson, F. Kagawa, A. Štefančič, G. Balakrishnan, R. Fan, P. Steadman, C. J. Ottley, M. Crisanti, R. Cubitt, T. Lancaster, Y. Tokura, and P. D. Hatton

Phys. Rev. B 100, 014425 (2019) - Published 22 July, 2019

Metastable magnetic skyrmions possess a nonzero temperature-dependent lifetime, which poses an obstacle for their application in devices. Here, the authors show that, for skyrmions in Cu $_{2}$ OSeO $_{3}$ , a small quantity of Zn substitution significantly increases this lifetime, dramatically reducing the cooling rate required to create a substantial metastable population. Time-resolved AC magnetometry measurements suggest that the effect is due to an increase in the pinning-site density that leads to slowing-down the unwinding of the skyrmion lattice, rather than to an alteration of the energy barrier.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Landau quantization of nearly degenerate bands and full symmetry classification of Landau level crossings

Chong Wang, Wenhui Duan, Leonid Glazman, and A. Alexandradinata

Phys. Rev. B 100, 014442 (2019) - Published 31 July, 2019

In the presence of a magnetic field, an electron’s spin tends to align with the field via the Zeeman interaction, but this often competes with the locking of spin and momentum via the spin-orbit interaction. Here, the authors propose a quantization rule for electron energy levels (Landau levels) that captures the delicate interplay of these two interactions and that quantifies the level repulsion between energy levels of opposite spin. In certain symmetry classes, this level repulsion is anomalously weak, meaning that only one tunable experimental parameter is needed to obtain a level degeneracy.
