Emergence of ferroelectricity and spin-valley properties in two-dimensional honeycomb binary compounds

Domenico Di Sante, Alessandro Stroppa, Paolo Barone, Myung-Hwan Whangbo, and Silvia Picozzi

Phys. Rev. B 91, 161401(R) (2015) - Published 6 April, 2015

First-principles calculations presented in this Rapid Communication suggest that a number of $A B$ binary honeycomb monolayers should be ferroelectric. Dipoles arise from the buckled structure, and the polarization reversal occurs via switching the structural buckling which can be triggered by an external electric field. The authors address the emerging valley-dependent properties arising from the ferroelectric bistability and explore the intimate link between ferroelectricity, spin-valley physics, and Rashba spin-splitting phenomena.

Tunable terahertz frequency comb generation using time-dependent graphene sheets

Vincent Ginis, Philippe Tassin, Thomas Koschny, and Costas M. Soukoulis

Phys. Rev. B 91, 161403(R) (2015) - Published 8 April, 2015

In addition to its extraordinary mechanical, thermal and electrical properties, graphene shows great potential in manipulating electromagnetic fields. One of the main advantages of graphene compared to other materials is the extraordinary tunability of its conductivity, which can be achieved electrically by means of a back gate, or optically through the excitation of photocarriers. Scientists from Belgium, Sweden and the United States demonstrate that this tunability of graphene can be used in a novel setup for the generation of frequency combs. Traditionally, frequency combs are generated using nonlinear materials. The researchers studied the interaction between light and time-dependent graphene sheets, including both dispersion and explicit time-dependence of the conductivity. Based on this model, they demonstrated that frequency combs can be generated without material nonlinearities. Indeed, at terahertz frequencies it is possible to modulate the linear, time-dependent conductivity of graphene to obtain a large variety of frequency combs.

Surface band structure of ${Bi}_{1 - x} {Sb}_{x} (111)$

Hadj M. Benia, Carola Straßer, Klaus Kern, and Christian R. Ast

Phys. Rev. B 91, 161406(R) (2015) - Published 13 April, 2015

The much debated topology of Bi $_{1 - x}$ Sb $_{x}$ has been resolved in this very careful and thorough experiment. The authors optimized the Bi $_{1 - x}$ Sb $_{x}$ growth method and minimized surface imperfections. They performed direct measurements of the surface band structure and followed its evolution within a large window of Sb concentration. They did not detect a third surface band seen in previous experiments. Thus, they conclude that the experimental surface band structure of B $_{1 - x}$ Sb $_{x}$ in the topologically insulating regime now agrees well with the theoretical predictions.

Weyl semimetal from spontaneous inversion symmetry breaking in pyrochlore oxides

Tomáš Bzdušek, Andreas Rüegg, and Manfred Sigrist

Phys. Rev. B 91, 165105 (2015) - Published 6 April, 2015

Most of the previously suggested scenarios for the realization of Weyl semimetal on a pyrochlore lattice require breaking of time-reversal symmetry. In this study the authors show that spontaneous deformations of the crystal that break the inversion symmetry can stabilize this phase as well. They demonstrate that in the temperature-elasticity phase diagram Weyl semimetal shows a reentrant behavior.

Topological invariants for gauge theories and symmetry-protected topological phases

Chenjie Wang and Michael Levin

Phys. Rev. B 91, 165119 (2015) - Published 15 April, 2015

According to a recent theoretical conjecture for a classification of symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases which can arise in a collection of lattice boson models called group cohomology models, each model belongs to a distinct SPT phase, and each SPT phase can be realized by a model. Here the authors show that for SPT phases with symmetry groups that are finite, Abelian, and unitary, each group cohomology model can be characterized by a unique set of topological invariants and therefore belongs to a distinct SPT phase. In two dimensions it is further shown that the complete set of group cohomology models accounts for all SPT phases, while in three dimensions evidence pointing toward such a proof is found.

Topology of density matrices

Jan Carl Budich and Sebastian Diehl

Phys. Rev. B 91, 165140 (2015) - Published 30 April, 2015

Can topologically non-trivial states, such as those in topological insulators and superconductors, arise in the mixed states of open quantum systems? By imposing special constraints on the gauge structure of the density matrices which describe open quantum systems, the authors find non-trivial topological invariants showing that topological phenomena can be generalized to mixed states. The method is illustrated with an analysis of Chern insulators at finite temperature.

State-selective intersystem crossing in nitrogen-vacancy centers

M. L. Goldman, M. W. Doherty, A. Sipahigil, N. Y. Yao, S. D. Bennett, N. B. Manson, A. Kubanek, and M. D. Lukin

Phys. Rev. B 91, 165201 (2015) - Published 8 April, 2015

Motivated by recent measurements of state-selective intersystem crossing (ISC) in the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond (see companion PRL), a new microscopic model is developed of the key ISC mechanism. These nonradiative transitions between states of different spin multiplicity are pivotal in the optical initialization and readout of the NV center’s electronic spin, which has created a diverse range of room-temperature applications in metrology and quantum information science.

Topological central charge from Berry curvature: Gravitational anomalies in trial wave functions for topological phases

Barry Bradlyn and N. Read

Phys. Rev. B 91, 165306 (2015) - Published 20 April, 2015

The topological central charge is a property that takes the same value throughout a topological phase of matter. In this work authors show how to compute topological central charge as a Berry curvature associated with position-dependent changes in the spatial metric in the bulk of the system.
