Anderson localization and the topology of classifying spaces

Takahiro Morimoto, Akira Furusaki, and Christopher Mudry

Phys. Rev. B 91, 235111 (2015) - Published 8 June, 2015

In this work the authors generate the ten-fold classification of the periodic table of topological insulators by studying random Dirac Hamiltonians supporting a Dirac mass. They use homotopy groups to establish the phase diagram that encodes Anderson localization and provide an alternative explanation for the even-odd effect in the one-dimensional chiral classes.

Assembling Fibonacci anyons from a Z3 parafermion lattice model

E. M. Stoudenmire, David J. Clarke, Roger S. K. Mong, and Jason Alicea

Phys. Rev. B 91, 235112 (2015) - Published 8 June, 2015

Coupling arrays of extrinsic defects provides a promising avenue towards realizing exotic phases of matter. By varying the coupling between parafermionic zero modes and moving from triangular lattice to square lattice authors explore the ground states of the model and describe a method to assemble Fibonacci anyons.

Optical dielectric function of silver

Honghua U. Yang, Jeffrey D'Archangel, Michael L. Sundheimer, Eric Tucker, Glenn D. Boreman, and Markus B. Raschke

Phys. Rev. B 91, 235137 (2015) - Published 22 June, 2015

Using broadband spectroscopic ellipsometry, the authors determine the complex valued dielectric function of silver films from 0.05 eV (λ=25 μ) to 4.14 eV (λ = 300 nm) with a statistical uncertainty of less than 1%. While several previous similar measurements exist, they span considerably shorter energy ranges and report partially inconsistent results. In view of the wide-ranging applications of silver in nanophotonics, plasmonics and optical metamaterials, we anticipate this paper to become a standard reference for many scientists and engineers.

Continuous Mott transition between a metal and a quantum spin liquid

Ryan V. Mishmash, Iván González, Roger G. Melko, Olexei I. Motrunich, and Matthew P. A. Fisher

Phys. Rev. B 91, 235140 (2015) - Published 23 June, 2015

Can the two-dimensional interaction driven Mott metal-insulator transition be continuous? Motivated by experiments on quasi two-dimensional organics that may show such a transition the authors study a two-leg triangular Hubbard strip. They argue that this model harbors a continuous Kosterlitz-Thouless-like quantum phase transition between a metal and a gapless spin liquid.

Efficient continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo method for the ground state of correlated fermions

Lei Wang, Mauro Iazzi, Philippe Corboz, and Matthias Troyer

Phys. Rev. B 91, 235151 (2015) - Published 30 June, 2015

While efficient algorithms exist for the simulation of bosons simulations of fermions are more challenging because of the infamous fermion sign problem. In this paper the authors take a step toward solution and develop continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo algorithm for lattice fermions that scales linearly with projection time and interaction strength. This method is benchmarked on the problem of the fermionic quantum critical point of spinless fermions on a honeycomb lattice.

Electronic structure, spin-orbit coupling, and interlayer interaction in bulk MoS2 and WS2

Drew W. Latzke, Wentao Zhang, Aslihan Suslu, Tay-Rong Chang, Hsin Lin, Horng-Tay Jeng, Sefaattin Tongay, Junqiao Wu, Arun Bansil, and Alessandra Lanzara

Phys. Rev. B 91, 235202 (2015) - Published 11 June, 2015

Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy experiments reveal that the valence band splitting at K point in transition metal dichalcogenides is primarily due to the spin-orbit coupling rather than inter-layer interactions. The authors have achieved convincing agreement between experimental results and theoretical calculations over a wide energy range.

Interlayer resonant Raman modes in few-layer MoS2

Nils Scheuschner, Roland Gillen, Matthias Staiger, and Janina Maultzsch

Phys. Rev. B 91, 235409 (2015) - Published 8 June, 2015

Two new first-order Raman-active modes are experimentally observed in few-layer MoS2 samples. The authors of this paper show that these modes should appear in virtually all few-layer systems. Since these new modes are symmetry-forbidden in single-layer structures, the results are going to be useful for metrology of layered thin films.

Hybrid waves localized at hyperbolic metasurfaces

O. Y. Yermakov, A. I. Ovcharenko, M. Song, A. A. Bogdanov, I. V. Iorsh, and Yu. S. Kivshar

Phys. Rev. B 91, 235423 (2015) - Published 15 June, 2015

The authors show theoretically that hyperbolic metasurfaces support simultaneous propagation of both quasi-TE and quasi-TM plasmon surface modes of “hybrid’” polarization at the same frequency — a two-dimensional analog of D’yakonov surface waves. The shape of their equal-frequency contours depends drastically on the frequency and changes from elliptical to hyperbolic, and so a topological transition takes place.

Multiplet features and magnetic properties of Fe on Cu(111): From single atoms to small clusters

Giulia E. Pacchioni, Luca Gragnaniello, Fabio Donati, Marina Pivetta, Gabriel Autès, Oleg V. Yazyev, Stefano Rusponi, and Harald Brune

Phys. Rev. B 91, 235426 (2015) - Published 16 June, 2015

Fe atoms adsorbed on Cu(111) have been used as an atomic-scale model system for performing spin-based logic operations and to build the smallest stable magnet. In pursuit of understanding the strength of the adatom/substrate hybridization in this system, small Fe clusters down to single atoms adsorbed on a Cu(111) surface were studied using X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy and X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism experiments. The spin and orbital moments as well as the magnetic anisotropy energies were extracted experimentally and compared with density functional theory and multiplet calculations. The results show an unexpectedly sharp atomic-like multiplet feature for single Fe atoms which disappears with increasing coverage and cluster size. This indicates a surprisingly weak hybridization of the Fe 3d states to the electronic states of the Cu(111) substrate.

Quantum spin Hall effect in two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenide haeckelites

S. M. Nie, Zhida Song, Hongming Weng, and Zhong Fang

Phys. Rev. B 91, 235434 (2015) - Published 19 June, 2015

This works brings us a step closer towards the realization of the quantum spin Hall (QSH) effect. Using electronic structure calculations, the authors suggest that a family of the single-layer 2D transition metal dichalcogenide haeckelites MX2 (M=W or Mo, X=S, Se, or Te) can host the QSH effect at high temperatures. Their work also implies that a square-lattice 2D material can host a nontrivial topological state, thus, extending the search boundaries for topological materials beyond the ones with a hexagonal lattice.

Analytic derivation of electrostrictive tensors and their application to optical force density calculations

Wujiong Sun, S. B. Wang, Jack Ng, Lei Zhou, and C. T. Chan

Phys. Rev. B 91, 235439 (2015) - Published 23 June, 2015

A theoretical formalism is developed to calculate the optical force induced within a 2D metamaterial, based on the electrostrictive tensor. It turns out that it is not always straightforward to use the usual effective-medium parameters ϵ and μ of the metamaterial for obtaining the body force density. The findings are tested via a 2D array of parallel infinitely long dielectric cylinders and the analytical theory is in excellent agreement with numerics. The correct stress tensor to describe the force density in an effective medium is the Helmholtz one rather than the Maxwell. The theory, though, is not exact and points to a fundamental limitation of effective medium theory in describing light-induced body forces.

Effect of electron-phonon interaction on the formation of one-dimensional electronic states in coupled Cl vacancies

Bruno Schuler, Mats Persson, Sami Paavilainen, Niko Pavliček, Leo Gross, Gerhard Meyer, and Jascha Repp

Phys. Rev. B 91, 235443 (2015) - Published 24 June, 2015

The formation of extended electron states in one-dimensional nanostructures is of key importance for the function of molecular electronics devices. In this paper, using a combination of atomic force microscopy, scanning tunneling spectroscopy, and tight-binding calculations the authors investigate the confinement of electronic states to controlled Cl vacancy pairs in a NaCl bilayer on Cu(111). They reveal that electron-phonon coupling has great influence on these quantities.

Two new first-order Raman-active modes are experimentally observed in few-layer MoS2 samples. The authors of this paper show that these modes should appear in virtually all few-layer systems. Since these new modes are symmetry-forbidden in single-layer structures, the results are going to be useful for metrology of layered thin films.

The authors show theoretically that hyperbolic metasurfaces support simultaneous propagation of both quasi-TE and quasi-TM plasmon surface modes of “hybrid’” polarization at the same frequency — a two-dimensional analog of D’yakonov surface waves. The shape of their equal-frequency contours depends drastically on the frequency and changes from elliptical to hyperbolic, and so a topological transition takes place.

Multiplet features and magnetic properties of Fe on Cu(111): From single atoms to small clusters

Phys. Rev. B 91, 235426 (2015) - Published 16 June, 2015

Fe atoms adsorbed on Cu(111) have been used as an atomic-scale model system for performing spin-based logic operations and to build the smallest stable magnet. In pursuit of understanding the strength of the adatom/substrate hybridization in this system, small Fe clusters down to single atoms adsorbed on a Cu(111) surface were studied using X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy and X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism experiments. The spin and orbital moments as well as the magnetic anisotropy energies were extracted experimentally and compared with density functional theory and multiplet calculations. The results show an unexpectedly sharp atomic-like multiplet feature for single Fe atoms which disappears with increasing coverage and cluster size. This indicates a surprisingly weak hybridization of the Fe 3d states to the electronic states of the Cu(111) substrate.

Phys. Rev. B 91, 235434 (2015) - Published 19 June, 2015

This works brings us a step closer towards the realization of the quantum spin Hall (QSH) effect. Using electronic structure calculations, the authors suggest that a family of the single-layer 2D transition metal dichalcogenide haeckelites MX2 (M=W or Mo, X=S, Se, or Te) can host the QSH effect at high temperatures. Their work also implies that a square-lattice 2D material can host a nontrivial topological state, thus, extending the search boundaries for topological materials beyond the ones with a hexagonal lattice.

Analytic derivation of electrostrictive tensors and their application to optical force density calculations

Wujiong Sun, S. B. Wang, Jack Ng, Lei Zhou, and C. T. Chan

Phys. Rev. B 91, 235439 (2015) - Published 23 June, 2015

A theoretical formalism is developed to calculate the optical force induced within a 2D metamaterial, based on the electrostrictive tensor. It turns out that it is not always straightforward to use the usual effective-medium parameters ϵ and μ of the metamaterial for obtaining the body force density. The findings are tested via a 2D array of parallel infinitely long dielectric cylinders and the analytical theory is in excellent agreement with numerics. The correct stress tensor to describe the force density in an effective medium is the Helmholtz one rather than the Maxwell. The theory, though, is not exact and points to a fundamental limitation of effective medium theory in describing light-induced body forces.

The formation of extended electron states in one-dimensional nanostructures is of key importance for the function of molecular electronics devices. In this paper, using a combination of atomic force microscopy, scanning tunneling spectroscopy, and tight-binding calculations the authors investigate the confinement of electronic states to controlled Cl vacancy pairs in a NaCl bilayer on Cu(111). They reveal that electron-phonon coupling has great influence on these quantities.
