EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Multifractal orthogonality catastrophe in one-dimensional random quantum critical points

Romain Vasseur and Joel E. Moore

Phys. Rev. B 92, 054203 (2015) - Published 14 August, 2015

The authors in this work consider the orthogonality catastrophe in a new context, that of disordered quantum spin chains. Here the orthogonality catastrophe arises from measuring the overlap of the spin chain’s ground state before and after cutting the system into two. Unlike the orthogonality catastrophe in a metal, here the orthogonality catastrophe exhibits multifractality: different disorder-averaged moments of the overlap exhibit different scaling exponents with system size.

Wannier interpolation of the electron-phonon matrix elements in polar semiconductors: Polar-optical coupling in GaAs

J. Sjakste, N. Vast, M. Calandra, and F. Mauri

Phys. Rev. B 92, 054307 (2015) - Published 31 August, 2015

A new computational method is introduced that allows interpolation of the electron-phonon matrix elements in the space of localized Wannier functions, extending a previous method for study of polar semiconductors. The amount of broadening of the bands in GaAs due to electron-phonon scattering is presented, showing good agreement with experimental results. The method is shown to perform better than an empirical pseudopotential.

Spin dynamics in pressure-induced magnetically ordered phases in $(C_{4} H_{12} N_{2}) {Cu}_{2} {Cl}_{6}$

G. Perren, J. S. Möller, D. Hüvonen, A. A. Podlesnyak, and A. Zheludev

Phys. Rev. B 92, 054413 (2015) - Published 7 August, 2015

Organic molecular magnets like piperazinium hexachlorodicuprate (PHCC) have attracted interest due to their sensitivity to pressure which presents possibilities for pressure-induced quantum phase transitions. Previous neutron and muon studies of PHCC gave differing indications of how the spin gap in this material varied with applied pressure. The authors of this work have resolved this discrepancy by further neutron scattering results showing that the spin gap has dissipated completely by 9 kbar, in agreement with the previous muon data. The authors also present a model in which the results are explained by the weakening of a single exchange pathway.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Unstable spin-ice order in the stuffed metallic pyrochlore $\Pr_{2 + x} {Ir}_{2 - x} O_{7 - δ}$

D. E. MacLaughlin, O. O. Bernal, Lei Shu, Jun Ishikawa, Yosuke Matsumoto, J.-J. Wen, M. Mourigal, C. Stock, G. Ehlers, C. L. Broholm, Yo Machida, Kenta Kimura, Satoru Nakatsuji, Yasuyuki Shimura, and Toshiro Sakakibara

Phys. Rev. B 92, 054432 (2015) - Published 24 August, 2015

The authors study the stuffed metallic pyrochlore Pr $_{2 + x}$ Ir $_{2 - x}$ O $_{7 - δ}$ through specific heat, elastic neutron scattering, and muon spin rotation ( $μ$ SR) measurements. They consider the question of why the static local field (B $_{l o c}$ ) as measured in $μ$ SR is so small. They weigh two possible theories, the fluctuating-moment picture and the suppressed-moment picture, and argue that the available evidence leans toward the former, while stating that regardless of picture, this pyrochlore is very close to a magnetic-nonmagnetic critical point.
