EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Domain walls and ferroelectric reversal in corundum derivatives

Meng Ye and David Vanderbilt

Phys. Rev. B 95, 014105 (2017) - Published 10 January, 2017

Materials physicists are increasingly coming to understand that domain walls in complex materials often have a life of their own. Far from being unwanted “defects”, they may have rich and interesting physics not available in the bulk material. Here, the authors use first-principles theoretical methods to consider ferroelectric domain walls in a promising family of corundum-derivative materials. Beyond studying issues of domain wall mobility and clarifying the factors that allow polarization reversal, the authors also identify an unusual set of domain-wall-specific couplings between polarization, magnetization, and chirality that they suggest may lead to new functionalities.

Nonequilibrium effective field theory for absorbing state phase transitions in driven open quantum spin systems

Michael Buchhold, Benjamin Everest, Matteo Marcuzzi, Igor Lesanovsky, and Sebastian Diehl

Phys. Rev. B 95, 014308 (2017) - Published 27 January, 2017

Phase transitions to absorbing states are among the simplest examples of critical phenomena out of equilibrium. The characteristic feature of these models is the presence of a fluctuationless configuration that the dynamics cannot leave, which has proved a rather stringent requirement in experiments. Recently, a proposal to seek such transitions in highly tunable systems of cold atomic gases offers to probe this physics and, at the same time, to investigate the robustness of these transitions to quantum coherent effects. Here, the authors specifically focus on the interplay between classical and quantum fluctuations in a simple driven open quantum model which, in the classical limit, reproduces a contact process, which is known to undergo a continuous transition in the “directed percolation” universality class. The authors derive an effective long-wavelength field theory for the present class of open spin systems and show that, due to quantum fluctuations, the nature of the transition changes from second to first order, passing through a critical point which appears to belong instead to the “tricritical directed percolation” class.

Critical behavior in the presence of an order-parameter pinning field

Francesco Parisen Toldin, Fakher F. Assaad, and Stefan Wessel

Phys. Rev. B 95, 014401 (2017) - Published 3 January, 2017

Can one investigate more efficiently quantum critical behavior by employing a local order-parameter pinning field, which explicitly breaks the symmetry of the model under investigation? To answer this question, the authors consider the two-dimensional square-lattice bilayer quantum Heisenberg model using a world-line quantum Monte Carlo method. The pinning-field approach is found to accurately locate the quantum critical point over a wide range of pinning-field strengths. However, the identification of the quantum critical scaling behavior is found to be complicated by the fact that the pinning field introduces strong corrections to scaling. A renormalization group analysis exhibits important analogies to surface critical phenomena, and a crossover effect to an infinite pinning-field fixed point, which the authors study in detail by simulations of an improved classical lattice model in the three-dimensional Ising universality class. At the infinite pinning-field fixed point, the short-distance expansion of the order-parameter profile exhibits a new universal critical exponent, which characterizes the experimentally relevant critical adsorption on a line defect. This result also implies the presence of slowly decaying scaling corrections, which are analyzed here in detail.

Ab initio study of doping effects in the 42214 compounds: A new family of layered iron-based superconductors

F. Bucci, A. Sanna, G. Profeta, A. Continenza, and E. K. U. Gross

Phys. Rev. B 95, 014415 (2017) - Published 12 January, 2017

The authors present a systematic density functional theory GGA characterization of the $R_{4}$ Fe $_{2}$ As $_{2}$ Te $_{1 - x}$ O $_{4 - y}$ F $_{y}$ family of compounds (called “42214”) as a function of a set of key tuning parameters: rare earth ( $R$ = Pr, Sm, and Gd), Te content, oxygen to fluorine substitutional doping, and external pressure. The analysis is based on an unfolding procedure that allows observation of the behavior of hole and electron pockets of the Fermi surface and of the nesting function. The present study includes characterization of a related hypothetical compound having Se substituting for Te. Results show that this peculiar compound family offers very good opportunities to properly harness material properties. Nesting, Fermi surface (topology and size), and magnetism can be easily modified by changing chemical composition: such tuning may lead to improved superconducting properties.

Advances in quantitative Kerr microscopy

I. V. Soldatov and R. Schäfer

Phys. Rev. B 95, 014426 (2017) - Published 24 January, 2017

Measuring the magnetization vector field of magnetically ordered materials is the ultimate goal of magnetic imaging. The authors propose a technical realization of quantitative magneto-optical Kerr microscopy, which makes it possible to obtain the continuously changing vector field of complete magnetization processes on arbitrarily oriented surfaces. It is based on a pulsed light emitting diode (LED) light source that allows for a computer controlled, real-time contrast selection of all three magnetization components of the domain patterns. As parasitic Faraday contributions in the microscope optics are eliminated and by using monochrome LED light, the accuracy and signal-to-noise ratio of the analysis is significantly enhanced compared to preceding solutions. The approach to vector imaging thus exceeds previous limits of the experimental instrumentation for magneto-optical domain investigation. The potential of the technique was demonstrated by the quantitative analysis of a remagnetization cycle of a Permalloy film element, and by the vectorial analysis of a domain structure in a GaMnAs thin semiconducting film with extremely low Kerr response.

Topological order, symmetry, and Hall response of two-dimensional spin-singlet superconductors

Sergej Moroz, Abhinav Prem, Victor Gurarie, and Leo Radzihovsky

Phys. Rev. B 95, 014508 (2017) - Published 13 January, 2017

The interplay between symmetry and topology is one of the most exciting avenues of modern condensed matter research. Here, the authors propose a new and unified approach for describing the low-energy physics of two-dimensional spin-singlet superconductors, placing them in a class of topologically ordered states akin to quantum Hall fluids and spin liquids. Starting from a microscopic model of two-dimensional paired fermions with a dynamical electromagnetism (that is also confined to two spatial dimensions), the authors derive Chern-Simons theories for all spin-singlet gapped superconductors, including $s$ -wave and chiral states. The topological field theories constructed here thus pave the way towards understanding superconductors as symmetry-enriched topological phases of matter.
