Many-terminal Majorana island: From topological to multichannel Kondo model

Loïc Herviou, Karyn Le Hur, and Christophe Mora

Phys. Rev. B 94, 235102 (2016) - Published 1 December, 2016

The Kondo effect refers to a localized spin impurity that is screened by conduction electrons at low temperatures, leading to entanglement and nontrivial transport properties. Connecting zero-energy Majorana bound states of a charge-quantized superconducting island to $M$ normal metallic leads realizes exotic SO( $M$ ) Kondo models with mesoscopic systems. In the Coulomb-blockade regime, the Majorana fermions lead to a family of non-Fermi-liquid fixed points and symmetric correlated transport between the leads, dubbed the topological Kondo effect (TKE). This work brings light to the resonant limit, where the charging energy selects two consecutive macroscopic charge states. The interplay between the charge states and the Majorana fermions allows for an exact mapping to the interacting multichannel Kondo model (MCKM). The quantum Brownian motion analogy proves the existence of a continuously varying line of fixed points between the MCKM and the TKE, characterized by fractional conductance, depending on the electron-electron interactions in the leads.

Competing magnetic orders and spin liquids in two- and three-dimensional kagome systems: Pseudofermion functional renormalization group perspective

Finn Lasse Buessen and Simon Trebst

Phys. Rev. B 94, 235138 (2016) - Published 15 December, 2016

In quantum magnetism, the kagome antiferromagnet is one of the most widely studied spin-liquid candidate systems, in which geometric frustration inhibits the formation of conventional magnetic order. In this paper, the authors employ a recently developed pseudofermion functional renormalization group approach that reveals the competition of magnetic orders in the kagome system and a three-dimensional generalization, the hyperkagome lattice. Including couplings beyond the nearest-neighbor exchange, the authors identify a plethora of magnetically ordered states as well as extended spin-liquid regimes.

Electron spin dynamics in cubic GaN

J. H. Buß, T. Schupp, D. J. As, O. Brandt, D. Hägele, and J. Rudolph

Phys. Rev. B 94, 235202 (2016) - Published 9 December, 2016

Electron spin relaxation in bulk cubic GaN is investigated by time-resolved magneto-optical spectroscopy over a wide range of temperatures, external magnetic fields, and doping densities. Very long spin relaxation times in the nanosecond range are found even up to room temperature, making cubic GaN a highly interesting material for spintronics. These results on a system with relatively weak spin-orbit coupling differ significantly from previous results for bulk III-V semiconductors such as GaAs. There are several possible reasons for the observed discrepancy, including the role of charged dislocations and a phase mixture of cubic GaN with inclusions of hexagonal GaN. Spin relaxation in such disordered materials is still poorly understood, and so this work should stimulate further research on this relevant topic.

Microscopic theory of equilibrium polariton condensates

Fei Xue, Fengcheng Wu, Ming Xie, Jung-Jung Su, and A. H. MacDonald

Phys. Rev. B 94, 235302 (2016) - Published 2 December, 2016

Exciton-polariton condensates have been realized by illuminating a microcavity system containing 2D quantum wells. When the polariton scattering rates exceed polariton lifetimes, the polariton condensate states can be described microscopically using equilibrium statistical mechanics. This work describes a fully microscopic mean-field theory of equilibrium polariton condensates that treats quantum well band states explicitly and goes beyond the commonly used model in which excitons are treated as Bose particles that are coupled to cavity photons. The authors compare their results with the predictions of simplified bosonic theory, and explain the quantitative differences in condensate properties. Their theory predicts that effective polariton-polariton interaction strengths are weaker and that exciton-fractions in the condensate are smaller than in the simplified exciton-photon model, and that the effective Rabi coupling strengths depends on detuning. The quasiparticle bands that appear in their theory are dressed by both electron-electron and electron-photon interactions, with the electron-electron contribution dominating even when the photon fraction of the condensate is relatively large. The properties of the dressed bands suggest novel mechanisms for the electrical manipulation of polariton condensates.
