Weyl nodal-line surface half-metal in CaFeO3

Run-Wu Zhang, Da-Shuai Ma, Jian-Min Zhang, and Yugui Yao

Phys. Rev. B 103, 195115 (2021) - Published 7 May, 2021

The degrees of freedom of band topology and magnetic order create opportunities for the application of novel quantum effects, a field that has attracted much attention in fundamental and applied research. Here, the authors explore the interplay of band topology and magnetic order in the realistic half-metal CaFeO3 by proposing a new quantum state, referred to as a Weyl nodal-line surface half-metal, which features fully spin-polarized fermions and may stimulate further efforts on quantum states in condensed matter physics.

SO(5) critical point in a spin-flavor Kondo device: Bosonization and refermionization solution

Alon Liberman, Andrew K. Mitchell, Ian Affleck, and Eran Sela

Phys. Rev. B 103, 195131 (2021) - Published 14 May, 2021

Symmetry plays a key role in determining the low-temperature behavior of mesoscopic quantum dot devices. Here, the authors examine an unusual situation, in which an effective theory with lower symmetry emerges via enhancing the symmetry that relates particles (electrons) and antiparticles (holes). The new state, described by the SO(5) symmetry group, realizes a new type of emergent Majorana fermions, displaying clear signatures in thermodynamic properties and in experimentally measurable conductance.

Foundations of variational discrete action theory

Zhengqian Cheng and Chris A. Marianetti

Phys. Rev. B 103, 195138 (2021) - Published 17 May, 2021

A new variational theory is proposed, based on the sequential product density matrix (SPD) ansatz, which is characterized by an integer and monotonically approaches the exact solution. The authors introduce the discrete action theory to evaluate the SPD, yielding the variational discrete action theory (VDAT). VDAT can be exactly evaluated for the multiband Anderson impurity model and the multiband Hubbard model in infinite dimensions. This provides an unprecedented combination of efficiency and precision within a single framework.

Orbital Hall effect as an alternative to valley Hall effect in gapped graphene

Sayantika Bhowal and Giovanni Vignale

Phys. Rev. B 103, 195309 (2021) - Published 12 May, 2021

The authors show that the valley Hall effect in gapped graphene can be understood as a manifestation of the orbital Hall effect, in which electrons in states of opposite orbital magnetic moment flow in opposite directions, generating an orbital magnetization current. Replacing the ambiguous valley indices by a physical quantity – the orbital magnetic moment – this reformulation provides a convincing explanation of optical rotation measurements in gapped graphene.

Fully resolved currents from quantum transport calculations

R. S. Nair and P. J. Kelly

Phys. Rev. B 103, 195406 (2021) - Published 5 May, 2021

Here, the authors use first-principles quantum mechanical scattering calculations to determine current distributions in thin metallic films and multilayers at finite temperatures, where the effect of electron-phonon scattering is included in the adiabatic approximation. The fully relativistic calculations describe transient shunting and size effects for layers more than 100 atoms thick. This makes it possible to search for improved interconnect materials or to study the influence of finite layer thicknesses on various effects in spintronics, such as the spin Hall effect.

Twisted symmetric trilayer graphene: Single-particle and many-body Hamiltonians and hidden nonlocal symmetries of trilayer moiré systems with and without displacement field

Dumitru Călugăru, Fang Xie, Zhi-Da Song, Biao Lian, Nicolas Regnault, and B. Andrei Bernevig

Phys. Rev. B 103, 195411 (2021) - Published 10 May, 2021

At the single-particle level, twisted mirror-symmetric trilayer graphene decouples into a twisted graphene-bilayer-like contribution and a high-velocity Dirac fermion. This simple picture breaks down in the presence of interactions or perpendicular displacement fields, which couple the two mirror-symmetry sectors. Prompted by recent experimental discoveries, the authors derive and analyze the many-body Hamiltonian for twisted symmetric trilayer graphene. They unveil enlarged continuous symmetries beyond spin-valley rotations, including a hidden nonlocal one.

SU(4) spin waves in the ν=±1 quantum Hall ferromagnet in graphene

Jonathan Atteia and Mark Oliver Goerbig

Phys. Rev. B 103, 195413 (2021) - Published 12 May, 2021

The lowest energy excitations of a quantum Hall ferromagnet are generalized SU(4) spin waves that can be real spin, valley pseudospin waves, or mixed spin-valley waves (see image). In this paper, the dispersion relations of these different SU(4) spin-wave types are investigated based on the phase diagram of the quantum Hall ferromagnet at filling factor ν=±1. In three of the four phases, there can be one or more linearly dispersing modes at low energy, due to a remaining symmetry in the residual anisotropies.

Effect of intersystem crossing rates and optical illumination on the polarization of nuclear spins close to nitrogen-vacancy centers

H. Duarte, H. T. Dinani, V. Jacques, and J. R. Maze

Phys. Rev. B 103, 195443 (2021) - Published 27 May, 2021

Several methods to polarize nuclear spins nearby nitrogen-vacancy centers rely on electron spin polarization and therefore on the intersystem crossing rates. Here, the authors consider the effect of these rates on nuclear polarization methods based on the level anticrossing, and precession of the nuclear population while the electronic spin is on the ground state for different nuclear spins. These results are relevant for validating the models for intersystem crossing rates and achieving a higher nuclear polarization.

Here, the authors use first-principles quantum mechanical scattering calculations to determine current distributions in thin metallic films and multilayers at finite temperatures, where the effect of electron-phonon scattering is included in the adiabatic approximation. The fully relativistic calculations describe transient shunting and size effects for layers more than 100 atoms thick. This makes it possible to search for improved interconnect materials or to study the influence of finite layer thicknesses on various effects in spintronics, such as the spin Hall effect.

At the single-particle level, twisted mirror-symmetric trilayer graphene decouples into a twisted graphene-bilayer-like contribution and a high-velocity Dirac fermion. This simple picture breaks down in the presence of interactions or perpendicular displacement fields, which couple the two mirror-symmetry sectors. Prompted by recent experimental discoveries, the authors derive and analyze the many-body Hamiltonian for twisted symmetric trilayer graphene. They unveil enlarged continuous symmetries beyond spin-valley rotations, including a hidden nonlocal one.

SU(4) spin waves in the ν=±1 quantum Hall ferromagnet in graphene

Jonathan Atteia and Mark Oliver Goerbig

Phys. Rev. B 103, 195413 (2021) - Published 12 May, 2021

The lowest energy excitations of a quantum Hall ferromagnet are generalized SU(4) spin waves that can be real spin, valley pseudospin waves, or mixed spin-valley waves (see image). In this paper, the dispersion relations of these different SU(4) spin-wave types are investigated based on the phase diagram of the quantum Hall ferromagnet at filling factor ν=±1. In three of the four phases, there can be one or more linearly dispersing modes at low energy, due to a remaining symmetry in the residual anisotropies.

Effect of intersystem crossing rates and optical illumination on the polarization of nuclear spins close to nitrogen-vacancy centers

Phys. Rev. B 103, 195443 (2021) - Published 27 May, 2021

Several methods to polarize nuclear spins nearby nitrogen-vacancy centers rely on electron spin polarization and therefore on the intersystem crossing rates. Here, the authors consider the effect of these rates on nuclear polarization methods based on the level anticrossing, and precession of the nuclear population while the electronic spin is on the ground state for different nuclear spins. These results are relevant for validating the models for intersystem crossing rates and achieving a higher nuclear polarization.
