Phys. Rev. B 94, 241110(R) (2016) - Published 19 December, 2016

Strong electron correlations in solids are at the heart of fascinating phenomena such as high temperature superconductivity, whose understanding remains a prominent open problem in Physics. A central prediction of dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) is the breaking of Landau’s Fermi liquid, which describes extremely well simple metals like copper, into itinerant heavy quasiparticles and localized Mott-Hubbard states. To test it, electronic structure calculations based on DMFT are usually benchmarked against the photoemission spectra of SrVO $_{3}$ , a cubic perovskite with one $d$ electron per unit cell that is considered the gold standard in this field. However, the present study shows that the UV synchrotron radiation used in the photoemission experiments creates oxygen vacancies, resulting in a strong peak of defect states essentially on top of the SrVO $_{3}$ Hubbard band. As recent works found that the same peak of vacancy states occurs in noncorrelated wide-gap $d^{0}$ insulators, such as SrTiO $_{3}$ , an unavoidable worry emerges. What if the putative Hubbard bands observed in SrVO $_{3}$ were just a mirage? What if this strongly correlated effect, a hallmark prediction of DMFT for the past 25 years was just not there? This study thoroughly explores those crucial issues both experimentally and theoretically.

Observation of Fermi arc and its connection with bulk states in the candidate type-II Weyl semimetal ${WTe}_{2}$

Chenlu Wang et al.

Phys. Rev. B 94, 241119(R) (2016) - Published 30 December, 2016

WTe $_{2}$ is well known for its manifestation of anomalously large magnetoresistance. It has recently attracted much attention because it is theoretically predicted to be the first material candidate that may realize the “type-II” Weyl state. This work reports combined experimental and theoretical investigations on the electronic structure of WTe $_{2}$ . Taking advantage of the latest-generation laser-based angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) system with superior instrumental resolution, a complete picture of the electronic structure of WTe $_{2}$ is revealed. The existence of a surface state that connects the bulk electron and hole pockets is identified. High-temperature ARPES measurements make it possible to reveal electronic states above the Fermi level where the Weyl points are predicted to be located. The observed connection of the surface state with the bulk bands, its momentum evolution, and its momentum and energy locations, are all in good agreement with the calculated band structures. These results provide key information to understand the anomalous transport properties of WTe $_{2}$ . They also provide electronic signatures that are consistent with the type-II Weyl state in WTe $_{2}$ and lay a foundation for further investigations on its topological nature.

Extended pump-probe Faraday rotation spectroscopy of the submicrosecond electron spin dynamics in $n$ -type GaAs

V. V. Belykh, E. Evers, D. R. Yakovlev, F. Fobbe, A. Greilich, and M. Bayer

Phys. Rev. B 94, 241202(R) (2016) - Published 14 December, 2016

Pump-probe Faraday/Kerr rotation spectroscopy is a powerful tool for exploring the coherent spin dynamics with picosecond temporal resolution. However, this has so far been possible only in time ranges up to a few nanoseconds. In this work, the technique is extended to address time ranges orders of magnitude longer by employing a tailored pump and probe pulse sequence, while maintaining picosecond time resolution. The submicrosecond electron spin dynamics in $n$ -type GaAs with doping concentrations close to the metal-insulator transition can be directly accessed thereby with high precision, rendering the electron spin dephasing time $T_{2}^{*}$ and the longitudinal spin relaxation time $T_{1}$ . Both approach 250 ns in weak magnetic fields. The Larmor spin precession in high magnetic fields applied in the Voigt geometry shows nonmonotonic dynamics deviating strongly from a mono-exponential decay and revealing $g$ -factor variations on the level of 10 $^{- 4}$ , demonstrating the high precision of the method. The possibility of varying the pump pulse train composition from single to multiple pulses provides detailed insight into the synchronization of the spin precession in the electron gas when subject to periodic laser excitation.

Emergence of an excitonic collective mode in the dilute electron gas

Yasutami Takada

Phys. Rev. B 94, 245106 (2016) - Published 2 December, 2016

In the early 1950s, Bohm and Pines (BP) developed the random-phase approximation (RPA) theory and revealed the plasmon as an emergent collective mode in metals. In this paper, for the first time ever since the original BP theory, a novel collective mode is predicted to emerge in the dilute electron liquid. The electronic compressibility of this mode is negative and thus dielectric catastrophe appears, predicted by a theory that goes far beyond RPA and fully satisfies various sum rules, constraints, and asymptotic behavior. While the plasmon occurs by the coherent excitations of mutually uncorrelated electrons and holes, the new mode is associated with the excitations of a large collection of excitons (or tightly bound electron-hole pairs). Mathematically, this excitonic collective mode is intimately connected with a newly discovered singularity in the dielectric function in the electron liquid. This collective mode should add a new dimension to plasmonics in nanotechnology in the future.

Composite Fermi liquids in the lowest Landau level

Chong Wang and T. Senthil

Phys. Rev. B 94, 245107 (2016) - Published 5 December, 2016

A quantum vortex liquid theory for composite Fermi liquid (CFL) states in the lowest Landau level is proposed. Contrary to the traditional Halperin-Lee-Read approach, the composite fermions in this formulation are vortices carrying no physical charge. Furthermore, a Berry phase $ϕ_{B}$ =-2 $π ν$ is enclosed by the composite Fermi surface, where $ν$ is the total filling fraction. This vortex liquid theory is closely related to Read’s formulation of bosonic CFL at $ν = 1$ in the 1990’s, and to Son’s recent formulation of the half-filled Landau level in terms of Dirac composite fermions. Various consequences of this new picture are studied, including some nontrivial predictions for transport properties, and an emergent particle-hole symmetry for bosons at $ν = 1$ .

Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering under electric field stimulation

Erwan Capitaine, Nawel Ould Moussa, Christophe Louot, Claire Lefort, Dominique Pagnoux, Jean-René Duclère, Junya F. Kaneyasu, Hideaki Kano, Ludovic Duponchel, Vincent Couderc, and Philippe Leproux

Phys. Rev. B 94, 245136 (2016) - Published 27 December, 2016

The authors have developed a new method for exploring and controlling matter at the molecular scale. Their technique, called “electro-CARS” (for “Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering under electric field stimulation”), consists of exposing the sample to an electric field and laser radiation simultaneously. Under these conditions, the molecules in the sample organize themselves and start vibrating, while returning a tiny part of the received light energy. Although very weak, this reemitted light provides a lot of chemical information about the sample, with a better sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio in comparison to existing spectroscopy tools. Electro-CARS could have a major impact in the field of electrochemotherapy, a promising method for cancer treatment. It could enable investigation of cell membrane modifications thoroughly and monitoring of anticancer drug delivery into cells without damaging them.

Finite field methods for the supercell modeling of charged insulator/electrolyte interfaces

Chao Zhang and Michiel Sprik

Phys. Rev. B 94, 245309 (2016) - Published 15 December, 2016

Interactions between aligned dipoles in periodic model systems are often considered spurious and removed by partitioning the supercell in isolated slabs separated by vacuum layers. One popular and efficient screening approach is the so-called dipole correction. In this work, the authors present an alternative finite-field based method which retains all electrostatic interactions and dispenses with vacuum layers. Adapting the constant- $D$ approach developed by Stengel, Spaldin, and Vanderbilt for the study of ferroelectric nanocapacitors, the new scheme here is intended for molecular dynamics simulations of the interface between an insulator carrying a specifically absorbed surface charge and an ionic conductor (the electrolyte) at finite temperature. The authors show that the dipole correction scheme is equivalent to $D$ =0 electric boundary conditions with or without vacuum layers. Thus, both global polarization $P$ of the heterogeneous system and corresponding average macroscopic electric field $E$ are finite. The authors then continue with the investigation of the variation of $P$ with $E$ or $D$ and validate expressions based on $P$ for computing the electric double-layer capacitance using atomistic simulations.

Evolution of electronic structure of few-layer phosphorene from angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of black phosphorous

N. Ehlen, B. V. Senkovskiy, A. V. Fedorov, A. Perucchi, P. Di Pietro, A. Sanna, G. Profeta, L. Petaccia, and A. Grüneis

Phys. Rev. B 94, 245410 (2016) - Published 7 December, 2016

Samples of few-layer phosphorene can be produced by mechanical or liquid exfoliation. However, it remains challenging to produce flakes with large sizes. Optical spectroscopy performed on phosphorene has revealed a peculiar gap dependence that is roughly inversely proportional to the layer number. This dependence has been poorly understood to date. Because of their small size, these samples have been out of reach of powerful electronic structure characterization techniques such as angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES). The present work shows how to get a handle on the experimental band structure of few-layer black phosphorus. The authors conjecture that the bulk black phosphorous crystal already provides all the necessary information regarding the electronic structure of few-layer phosphorene. They perform ARPES measurements of the bulk crystal to fit to an experimental tight-binding model. Then, they apply the zone-folding method to the three-dimensional electronic dispersion. By quantizing the electron wavevector component perpendicular to the layers, they are able to not only extract reliable band structure data for few-layer phosphorene from the bulk band structure but also to fully explain the peculiar band-gap dependence. In particular, the band gaps as predicted by zone-folding are in excellent agreement with optical experiments and $a b$ $i n i t i o$ calculations.

Dynamic response functions and helical gaps in interacting Rashba nanowires with and without magnetic fields

Christopher J. Pedder, Tobias Meng, Rakesh P. Tiwari, and Thomas L. Schmidt

Phys. Rev. B 94, 245414 (2016) - Published 12 December, 2016

One of the fundamental prerequisites for the formation of exotic anyonic bound states in superconducting quantum wires is that their normal-state band structure exhibits a so-called helical gap. Besides application of an external magnetic field, such a helical gap can also arise as a consequence of strong electron-electron interactions. The authors show that one possible realization of such an interaction-driven helical gap can be found in wires with transverse subbands and spin-orbit coupling. This state can be described in terms of quasiparticles with fractional charge $e$ /2. These fractional charges in turn lead to important modifications of the threshold behavior of measurable dynamic response functions, such as the spectral function and the density structure factor. These experimentally accessible quantities can therefore be used to discriminate between interaction-induced helical gaps, and the more mundane gaps opened by an applied magnetic field.
