Phase-change memory function of correlated electrons in organic conductors

H. Oike, F. Kagawa, N. Ogawa, A. Ueda, H. Mori, M. Kawasaki, and Y. Tokura

Phys. Rev. B 91, 041101(R) (2015) - Published 5 January, 2015

The invention and development of memory devices are important tasks for facilitating continued innovation in the field of information technology. The authors achieve repeatable switching between a high-resistivity charge-crystalline (or charge-ordered) state and a low-resistivity quenched charge glass via both optical and electrical heating in an organic conductor, $θ$ -(BEDT-TTF) $_{2}$ $X$ . They observe switching that is one order of magnitude faster in another isostructural organic conductor that requires faster cooling ( $> 10^{3}$ K/s) to kinetically avoid charge crystallization, indicating that the material’s critical cooling rate can be a useful guideline for pursuing a faster “correlated-electron phase-change memory (PCM)”. These results establish a clear case whereby practically stable glassy electronic states hidden behind long-range ordered states can be uncovered by adopting hitherto-untried quenching rates and thus underlies a new class of non-volatile PCM.

Theory of lasing action in plasmonic crystals

J. Cuerda, F. Rüting, F. J. García-Vidal, and J. Bravo-Abad

Phys. Rev. B 91, 041118(R) (2015) - Published 26 January, 2015

In the context of plasmonic nanolasers, it has been previously recognized that systems with physically extended modes (as opposed to isolated cavity modes) can support lasing, and plasmonic crystals are a platform for such effects. In the present paper the authors present a general study that explores, from a unified perspective, the lasing properties of plasmonic crystals incorporating optically pumped four-level gain media.

Probing the spatial electron distribution in InAs nanowires by anisotropic magnetoconductance fluctuations

T. S. Jespersen, J. R. Hauptmann, C. B. Sørensen, and J. Nygård

Phys. Rev. B 91, 041302(R) (2015) - Published 12 January, 2015

The authors introduce an approach to investigate the spatial distribution of the electrons in InAs nanowires using the anisotropy of low temperature magneto-conduction fluctuations. With this technique, the authors argue that the electrons responsible for transport in the nanowire are distributed through the bulk of the wire as opposed to being confined to the wire’s surface.

Layer-dependent electronic structure of an atomically heavy two-dimensional dichalcogenide

Po-Chun Yeh, Wencan Jin, Nader Zaki, Datong Zhang, Jonathan T. Liou, Jerzy T. Sadowski, Abdullah Al-Mahboob, Jerry I. Dadap, Irving P. Herman, Peter Sutter, and Richard M. Osgood, Jr.

Phys. Rev. B 91, 041407(R) (2015) - Published 20 January, 2015

The first direct measurements are reported of the evolution of the thickness-dependent electronic band structure of monolayers of a material of much current interest. Angle-resolved photoemission is performed on the few-layer single-crystal dichalcogenide WSe $_{2}$ , which is in a class of graphene-like semiconductors with a desirable band gap in the visible frequency range. These results strongly support the presence of a predicted transition from an indirect (bulk or bilayer) to direct (one monolayer) band gap. Values are obtained for the effective mass and spin-orbit splitting of few-layer WSe $_{2}$ , parameters which are very important for transport studies and device applications.

Infinite density matrix renormalization group for multicomponent quantum Hall systems

Michael P. Zaletel, Roger S. K. Mong, Frank Pollmann, and Edward H. Rezayi

Phys. Rev. B 91, 045115 (2015) - Published 14 January, 2015

Quantum Hall systems are expected to host a variety of exotic phases. In particular 5/2 filling fraction is believed to contain non-Abelian anyons. However, the exact nature of the ground state is sensitive to many factors and is hard to access. In this paper the authors develop a method to take into account scattering between Landau levels and show that, at 5/2 filling, it leads to the stabilization of the so called anti-Pfaffian state.

Ultrafast scattering processes of hot electrons in InSb studied by time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy

H. Tanimura, J. Kanasaki, and K. Tanimura

Phys. Rev. B 91, 045201 (2015) - Published 12 January, 2015

Ultrafast scattering of highly energetic carriers in semiconductors is of great interest to both basic research and technological development. Using the technique of two-photon photoemission, instead of the more common ultrafast optical spectroscopy, in this study provides the ability to probe the conduction-band electron distributions in energy, momentum, and time on femtosecond to picosecond time scales. Deeper insight is obtained into the physics underlying hot-electron relaxation in InSb, a model system for semiconductors with a narrow band gap.

π-plasmon dispersion in free-standing graphene by momentum-resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy

S. C. Liou, C.-S. Shie, C. H. Chen, R. Breitwieser, W. W. Pai, G. Y. Guo, and M.-W. Chu

Phys. Rev. B 91, 045418 (2015) - Published 13 January, 2015

This paper reports an experimental observation of the square root q behavior of $π$ -plasmons in free-standing graphene. The authors used very high resolution EELS measurements to be able to probe plasmonic excitations in the long wavelength limit.
