Direct observation of nonequivalent Fermi-arc states of opposite surfaces in the noncentrosymmetric Weyl semimetal NbP

S. Souma, Zhiwei Wang, H. Kotaka, T. Sato, K. Nakayama, Y. Tanaka, H. Kimizuka, T. Takahashi, K. Yamauchi, T. Oguchi, Kouji Segawa, and Yoichi Ando

Phys. Rev. B 93, 161112(R) (2016) - Published 20 April, 2016

Weyl semimetals (WSMs) provide a platform to realize long-sought massless Weyl fermions, which can host a variety of exotic quantum phenomena such as chiral anomalies and anomalous Hall conductivity. The most intriguing nature of WSMs is the emergence of an unconventional surface state called a Fermi arc, which is distinct from the well-known Fermi surface of ordinary metals. The authors have used angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on NbP and succeeded in observing the electronic states for two differently terminated surfaces of this noncentrosymmetric crystal. Corroborated by first-principles calculations, it is unambiguously demonstrated that NbP is a Weyl semimetal with reduced spin-orbit coupling, exhibiting a drastic difference in the Fermi-surface topology between the P- and Nb-terminated surfaces. Through a direct comparison of Fermi-arc surface states between the two surfaces, the momentum location of Weyl nodes has been elucidated. The present results provides a pathway for exploring new quantum phenomena utilizing Fermi-arc properties of WSMs.

Scanning Josephson spectroscopy on the atomic scale

Mallika T. Randeria, Benjamin E. Feldman, Ilya K. Drozdov, and Ali Yazdani

Phys. Rev. B 93, 161115(R) (2016) - Published 28 April, 2016

Unconventional superconductors, with order parameters that are predicted to have short range spatial modulations, have held long standing interest in the field. The Josephson effect, which directly probes the strength of the pairing potential is an ideal technique to study these materials, in contrast to a majority of probes which rely on deductions made from quasiparticle measurements. The authors combine the Josephson effect with the high spatial resolution afforded by scanning tunneling microscopy to study atomic scale variations of the order parameter in a model system consisting of magnetic adatoms on a BCS superconductor. The atomic resolution achieved establishes scanning Josephson spectroscopy as a promising tool for the study of novel superconducting materials.

Phys. Rev. B 93, 165121 (2016) - Published 15 April, 2016

Resonant x-ray scattering is used to definitively show that a pure spin density wave state is the ground state in ultrathin LaNiO $_{3}$ layers sandwiched between LAAlO $_{3}$ layers. This result is also shown to be in agreement with first-principles calculations.

Phys. Rev. B 93, 165130 (2016) - Published 20 April, 2016

This paper provides a detailed analysis of the thermodynamic properties of the Ohmic two-state system as well as its transient dynamics following a quantum quench. The authors also quantify the accuracy of time-dependent NRG and compare it to a variety of techniques used to study time-dependent dynamics.

Electron and chemical reservoir corrections for point-defect formation energies

Christoph Freysoldt, Björn Lange, Jörg Neugebauer, Qimin Yan, John L. Lyons, Anderson Janotti, and Chris G. Van de Walle

Phys. Rev. B 93, 165206 (2016) - Published 22 April, 2016

The formation energies of semiconductor point defects are nowadays predicted much more accurately by density functional theory than a decade ago, thanks to the use of modern hybrid functionals. The drawback is the high computational effort compared to the traditional local density approximation (LDA) or generalized gradient approximation (GGA). In this work, the authors trace back the main variations between the functionals to differences in the position of the bulk valence-band maximum, as well as in the reference energies for the chemical potential obtained with each functional. For point defects relevant for $p$ -type GaN, these differences are accounted for by corrections, reducing the maximum disagreement between the different functionals from more than 2 eV to below 0.2 eV. The correction scheme should be useful for performing high-throughput calculations in cases where full hybrid functional calculations are prohibitively expensive.
