Prediction of the material with highest known melting point from ab initio molecular dynamics calculations

Qi-Jun Hong and Axel van de Walle

Phys. Rev. B 92, 020104(R) (2015) - Published 20 July, 2015

High-performance refractory materials play an important role in applications ranging from gas turbines to heat shields for hypersonic vehicles. The authors carried out an extensive first-principles investigation into the melting temperatures of the refractory Hf-C and Hf-Ta-C systems, which hold the highest melting temperatures known to date, and identified the major factors that contribute to the high melting temperatures. A new class of materials were proposed and explored, which, according to the calculation, may increase the current melting point record by up to 200 K. This work demonstrates the feasibility and usefulness of large-scale first-principles calculations for high-throughput materials screening on a high-level thermodynamic property.

Resonant driving of magnetization precession in a ferromagnetic layer by coherent monochromatic phonons

J. V. Jäger, A. V. Scherbakov, B. A. Glavin, A. S. Salasyuk, R. P. Campion, A. W. Rushforth, D. R. Yakovlev, A. V. Akimov, and M. Bayer

Phys. Rev. B 92, 020404(R) (2015) - Published 16 July, 2015

The traditional methods for manipulating the magnetization precession resonantly by microwaves fail to operate at the nanoscale. In the present paper, by using a specially designed ferromagnetic structure, the authors demonstrate resonant driving of the magnetization precession at microwave frequencies by exploiting coherent lattice vibrations. They use a 59-nm ferromagnetic layer as cavity of a phononic Fabry-Perot nanoresonator formed by a semiconductor superlattice. The coherent phonons with resonance frequencies up to 30 GHz are excited by femtosecond laser pulses and feed the magnetization precession within their nanosecond lifetime. The amplitude of the precession increases drastically for resonant conditions when the frequency of the free precession is equal to the frequency of the driving magnetostrictive force.

Switching of magnetic anisotropy in a fcc antiferromagnet with direction-dependent interactions

Hiroaki Ishizuka and Leon Balents

Phys. Rev. B 92, 020411(R) (2015) - Published 20 July, 2015

Exploration of novel phenomena in oxides with strong spin-orbit coupling is one of the hot topics in condensed matter physics. The authors theoretically study the macroscopic magnetic anisotropy induced by fluctuations. By considering a spin model on fcc lattice with direction-dependent interactions, which may serve as an effective model for insulating magnetic oxides with strong spin-orbit coupling, they discover of a novel behavior in spin models with direction-dependent interaction.

Comparison of the magneto-Peltier and magneto-Seebeck effects in magnetic tunnel junctions

J. Shan, F. K. Dejene, J. C. Leutenantsmeyer, J. Flipse, M. Münzenberg, and B. J. van Wees

Phys. Rev. B 92, 020414(R) (2015) - Published 28 July, 2015

Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) are the building blocks of the magnetic random access memory technology due to their large contrast of the electrical resistances between the two different magnetic configurations. This work is focused on their configuration-dependent thermal properties. For the first time, the magneto-Peltier effect, a reciprocal effect of the magneto-Seebeck effect in magnetic tunnel junctions, is detected experimentally. These results open up the possibility of a magnetically controllable cooling mechanism in MTJs, which can be potentially applied in novel magnetic logic devices.

Tunable electronic anisotropy in single-crystal $A_{2} {Cr}_{3} {As}_{3} (A = K, Rb)$ quasi-one-dimensional superconductors

X. F. Wang, C. Roncaioli, C. Eckberg, H. Kim, J. Yong, Y. Nakajima, S. R. Saha, P. Y. Zavalij, and J. Paglione

Phys. Rev. B 92, 020508(R) (2015) - Published 20 July, 2015

The authors report structural, transport, magnetic and thermodynamic properties of of single-crystalline samples of Rb $_{2}$ Cr $_{3}$ As $_{3}$ in both the normal and superconducting states. By compare them with those of K $_{2}$ Cr $_{3}$ As $_{3}$ they argue for the evidence of reduced dimensionality and the ability to control it by structural tuning.

Structural and magnetic phase transitions in ${EuTi}_{1 - x} {Nb}_{x} O_{3}$

Ling Li, James R. Morris, Michael R. Koehler, Zhiling Dun, Haidong Zhou, Jiaqiang Yan, David Mandrus, and Veerle Keppens

Phys. Rev. B 92, 024109 (2015) - Published 30 July, 2015

EuTiO $_{3}$ has been attracting considerable attention due to its large magnetoelectric effect and its potential for future applications. In this work the authors focus on the structural phase transition that bears resemblance to the prototypical phase transition in isostructural SrTiO $_{3}$ but takes place at much higher temperatures $T_{S}$ . The authors perform a detailed study of poly- and single-crystalline EuTiO $_{3}$ and EuTi $_{1 - x}$ Nb $_{x}$ O $_{3}$ using synchrotron X-ray diffraction, Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy, and magnetization measurements. They find an unexpectedly rapid increase of $T_{S}$ when EuTiO $_{3}$ is doped with niobium. Another notable result of the Nb doping, which is confirmed in this study for single-crystalline samples, is an unusual transformation of the low-temperature phase from an antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic state at $x = 0.1$ .

Evidence of quantum dimer excitations in ${Sr}_{3} {Ir}_{2} O_{7}$

Phys. Rev. B 92, 024405 (2015) - Published 6 July, 2015

Sr $_{3}$ Ir $_{2}$ O $_{7}$ is a member of the iridate Ruddlesden-Popper series Sr $_{n + 1}$ Ir $_{n}$ O $_{3 n + 1}$ with electronic properties that interpolate between the insulating single-layer Sr $_{2}$ IrO $_{4}$ ( $n = 1$ ) and a metallic compound SrIrO $_{3}$ ( $n = \infty$ ). Using resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) experiments, the authors reveal a new magnetic mode and propose a model based on weakly coupled quantum dimers to describe the observed excitation spectrum.

Hidden symmetries of the extended Kitaev-Heisenberg model: Implications for the honeycomb-lattice iridates $A_{2} {IrO}_{3}$

Jiří Chaloupka and Giniyat Khaliullin

Phys. Rev. B 92, 024413 (2015) - Published 13 July, 2015

Nontrivial (hidden) symmetries present within extended Kitaev-Heisenberg model, have been recently introduced to capture the magnetism of layered honeycomb iridates Na $_{2}$ IrO $_{3}$ and Li $_{2}$ IrO $_{3}$ . The authors study the hidden symmetries of a generic four-parameter nearest-neighbor spin model of iridates of the $A_{2}$ IrO $_{3}$ kind in the honeycomb lattice compounds under trigonal compression. Their method utilizes a mapping of the Hamiltonian on itself by using the symmetry of the Hamiltonian, which connects different points in its parameter space. They claim that a complete set of points of hidden SU(2) symmetry at which seemingly highly anisotropic model can be mapped back on the Heisenberg model and inherits therefore its properties such as the presence of gapless Goldstone modes.

Angular momentum in spin-phonon processes

D. A. Garanin and E. M. Chudnovsky

Phys. Rev. B 92, 024421 (2015) - Published 20 July, 2015

Although a century has passed since the celebrated Einstein - de Haas experiments, the microscopic mechanisms leading to the conversion of the spin angular momentum to the mechanical angular momentum in elastic solids has not been fully understood. In this paper D. A. Garanin and E. M. Chudnovsky explore the concept of the phonon spin recently suggested by L. Zhang and Q. Niu, Physical Review Letters 112, 085503 (2014). They show how it enters the problem of the relaxation of the atomic spin in the elastic body and explicitly demonstrate the conservation of the total angular momentum in spin-phonon processes at the microscopic level.

Ab initio theory of superconductivity in a magnetic field. I. Spin density functional theory for superconductors and Eliashberg equations

A. Linscheid, A. Sanna, F. Essenberger, and E. K. U. Gross

Phys. Rev. B 92, 024505 (2015) - Published 8 July, 2015

The interplay between superconductivity and magnetism is a complex but very interesting and technologically important topic in solid state physics. The rich physics resulting from the competition of these two phases has been studied so far with models and phenomenological approaches that leave the prediction of material-specific properties, such as the critical temperature $T_{c}$ , or the magnetization, out of reach. Density functional approaches have been very successful in the prediction of the material specific magnetization via Spin-DFT on the one, and Tc for superconducting system via SCDFT on the other hand. In this work the authors present a fully $a b$ $i n i t i o$ theory to describe the microscopic competition of magnetism and superconductivity, in the framework of a density functional theory unifying SpinDFT and SCDFT.

Ab initio theory of superconductivity in a magnetic field. II. Numerical solution

A. Linscheid, A. Sanna, and E. K. U. Gross

Phys. Rev. B 92, 024506 (2015) - Published 8 July, 2015

This work presents the numerical solution of the equations derived in the companion manuscript “ $A b$ $I n i t i o$ Theory of Superconductivity in a Magnetic Field. I. Spin Density Functional Theory For Superconductors and Eliashberg Equations.” and the comparison of the methods presented therein. To perform this comparison the authors analyze a superconducting test system where free electron states couple via a phonon field and are Zeeman split by a tunable homogeneous magnetic field. It turns out that while the superconducting analogue of the Kohn-Sham (KS) density functional framework can accurately predict the superconducting critical temperature, it also suffers from the analogue of the “band gap” problem for the quasiparticle spectrum in the superconducting state. The authors resolve this problem by introducing a generalization of the $G_{0}$ $W_{0}$ approximation to superconductors.
