Nuclear magnetic resonance study of the magnetic-field-induced ordered phase in the ${NiCl}_{2} − 4 SC {({NH}_{2})}_{2}$ compound

Rémi Blinder, Maxime Dupont, Sutirtha Mukhopadhyay, Mihael S. Grbić, Nicolas Laflorencie, Sylvain Capponi, Hadrien Mayaffre, Claude Berthier, Armando Paduan-Filho, and Mladen Horvatić

Phys. Rev. B 95, 020404(R) (2017) - Published 3 January, 2017

The NiCl $_{2}$ -4SC(NH $_{2}$ ) $_{2}$ spin-chain compound, also called “DTN”, is one of the most studied archetype materials that at low temperature presents the magnetic-field-induced ordered phase that is described as a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). The paper here presents an NMR study of the static properties of this phase, where, for the first time, the exact absolute value of the order parameter has been determined and compared to theoretical predictions. The precise phase boundary of the BEC phase close to its upper critical field is found to be in perfect agreement with theory, and used to define and discuss the range of validity of the Hartree-Fock-Popov approximation. DTN is a unique quasi-1D BEC-type material for which the sub-dominant 3D exchange couplings are known from independent measurements, so that theoretical descriptions are completely constrained. Therefore, precise state-of-the-art numerical methods could be used to critically discuss the applicability of approximate 1D-based descriptions (e.g., Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid $+$ mean field) to the case when the quasi-1D character is of intermediate strength. The NMR results presented here and the corresponding theoretical descriptions can be considered as reference data and analysis for BEC-type compounds, which have been missing for a long time in this field of research.

Direct three-dimensional ordering of quasi-one-dimensional quantum dimer system near critical fields

Taku Matsushita, Nobuyoshi Hori, Seiya Takata, Nobuo Wada, Naoki Amaya, and Yuko Hosokoshi

Phys. Rev. B 95, 020408(R) (2017) - Published 12 January, 2017

As the temperature lowers in the gapless region, quantum quasi-1D spin systems show one-dimensional (1D) short-range ordering (SRO) corresponding to a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) by the interaction within chains, and then at lower temperatures where the small interchain interaction cannot be ignored, they have a three-dimensional (3D) long- range ordered (LRO, BEC) phase. This generally accepted scenario for the dimensional crossover of quasi-1D spin ordering, however, is debatable around the critical field, because the 1D SRO (TLL) regime has a linear boundary on the $H$ - $T$ phase diagram, while the 3D LRO transition temperature has a convex shape. To this dimensionality paradox around the critical field, the authors have given the solution, experimentally by detailed analyses of the specific heat and ac susceptibility for bond-alternating antiferromagnetic chains in pentafluorophenyl nitronyl nitroxide (F $_{5}$ PNN). They reveal the existence of a definite field region near a critical field, where 3D LRO (BEC) directly occurs without passing through 1D SRO region at higher temperatures, even if the interchain interaction is sufficiently small compared to the intrachain one.

Excitations and magnetization density distribution in the dilute ferromagnetic semiconductor ${Yb}_{14} {MnSb}_{11}$

M. B. Stone, V. O. Garlea, B. Gillon, A. Cousson, A. D. Christianson, M. D. Lumsden, S. E. Nagler, D. Mandrus, and B. C. Sales

Phys. Rev. B 95, 020412(R) (2017) - Published 23 January, 2017

While it is mostly well-known for its excellent thermoelectric properties at high temperatures, Yb $_{14}$ MnSb $_{11}$ has also come to be characterized as a ferromagnetic semiconductor. Such systems support ferromagnetic correlations similar to metallic compounds, although with semiconducting electronic configurations. As such, they are promising materials for use in spintronic devices. The authors here use neutron scattering techniques to examine the distribution of the magnetization density and the energy scale of the magnetic exchange interactions in the Yb $_{14}$ MnSb $_{11}$ compound. They find that there is a large ferromagnetic moment localized to the Mn site in the crystal structure with a ‘Kondo cloud’ of negative moments distributed over the other atomic sites. The results provide long sought answers to questions regarding the valence, magnetization distribution, and energy scales of the magnetic interactions in this compound. The ferromagnetic spin-wave spectrum supports this premise and is well characterized by inclusion of nearest and next-nearest neighbor exchange interactions.

Double vibronic process in the quantum spin ice candidate ${Tb}_{2} {Ti}_{2} O_{7}$ revealed by terahertz spectroscopy

E. Constable, R. Ballou, J. Robert, C. Decorse, J.-B. Brubach, P. Roy, E. Lhotel, L. Del-Rey, V. Simonet, S. Petit, and S. deBrion

Phys. Rev. B 95, 020415(R) (2017) - Published 27 January, 2017

In the field of geometrically frustrated magnetism, the very nature of the ground state of Tb $_{2}$ Ti $_{2}$ O $_{7}$ has remained a long-standing conundrum. In this pyrochlore material, no conventional spin-ice or long-range magnetic order is stabilized, even at very low temperatures. Quantum fluctuations are suspected of being at the origin of such an exotic quantum phase, yet so far there is no conclusive evidence. Here, high-resolution synchrotron-based terahertz spectroscopy probes the lowest energy excitations of Tb $_{2}$ Ti $_{2}$ O $_{7}$ . By exciting transitions within the crystal electric field and crystal lattice, it is revealed that a double hybridization of crystal-field phonon modes is present across a broad temperature range. This unique vibronic process triggers coupling between several degrees of freedom that provides a crucial path for quantum spin-flip fluctuations to inhibit the stabilization of conventional magnetic states. While providing evidence for the unique quantum phase in Tb $_{2}$ Ti $_{2}$ O $_{7}$ , the result also highlights the powerful and complementary nature of terahertz spectroscopy as a probe in the study of exotic magnetic and frustrated phases.

Mode decomposition based on crystallographic symmetry in the band-unfolding method

Yuji Ikeda, Abel Carreras, Atsuto Seko, Atsushi Togo, and Isao Tanaka

Phys. Rev. B 95, 024305 (2017) - Published 13 January, 2017

The band-unfolding method is now widely used to calculate the effective band structures of a disordered system from its supercell model. The unfolded band structures are obtained as if the disordered system really has the crystallographic symmetry of its underlying structure. However, it has still been difficult to decompose the unfolded band structures into the modes based on the crystallographic symmetry of the underlying structure. This has prohibited detailed analyses of, e.g., selection rules and avoided band crossings for the unfolded band structures. The authors here develop a procedure to decompose the unfolded band structures according to the small representations (SRs) of the little groups. The decomposition is performed using the projection operators for SRs derived from the group representation theory. Using this procedure, the authors investigate the phonon band structure of disordered face-centered-cubic Cu $_{0.75}$ Au $_{0.25}$ , which has large variations of atomic masses and force constants among the atomic sites due to the chemical disorder. In the unfolded phonon band structure, several peculiar behaviors such as discontinuous and split branches are found in the decomposed modes corresponding to specific SRs.

Chiral charge pumping in graphene deposited on a magnetic insulator

Yttrium iron garnet (YIG) holds a special place among all magnetic materials since it shows an unprecedentedly small magnetic damping, resulting in the narrowest known line in ferromagnetic resonance and enabling propagation of spin waves over long distances. Due to these unique characteristics, YIG films have been recently considered as a promising material for spintronic and magnonic applications. By combining YIG and a single layer of graphene in a bilayer, one obtains a unique model system for investigations of magnetic interfacial effects. Here, the authors demonstrate experimentally that the system shows a sizable chiral charge pumping, which could arise from an imbalance of screw dislocations. The effect, which cannot be attributed to the ordinary spin pumping, reveals itself in the creation of a dc electric field/voltage in graphene as a response to the dynamic magnetic excitations (spin waves) in an adjacent out-of-plane magnetized YIG film. The authors show that the induced voltage changes its sign when the orientation of the static magnetization is reversed, clearly indicating the broken mirror reflection symmetry about the planes normal to the graphene/YIG interface. The strength of effect shows a nonmonotonic dependence on the spin-wave frequency, in agreement with the proposed theoretical model.

Computational investigation of half-Heusler compounds for spintronics applications

Jianhua Ma, Vinay I. Hegde, Kamaram Munira, Yunkun Xie, Sahar Keshavarz, David T. Mildebrath, C. Wolverton, Avik W. Ghosh, and W. H. Butler

Phys. Rev. B 95, 024411 (2017) - Published 11 January, 2017

The authors investigate the properties of 378 half-Heusler compounds using density functional theory with the goal of identifying promising candidates for spintronic applications, e.g. half-metals. Although DFT has often been applied to the search for half-metals, this study may be the most comprehensive attempt to identify which of the compounds predicted by DFT to be half-metals are likely to be fabricated. The calculated formation energy of each of the 378 potential half Heuslers was compared to that of all competing phases and combination of phases in the Open Quantum Materials Database. Those semiconductors, half-metals, and near half-metals within an empirically determined 0.1 eV/atom hull distance margin for neglected effects were deemed of interest for further experimental investigation.

Symmetry breaking, slow relaxation dynamics, and topological defects at the field-induced helix reorientation in MnSi

A. Bauer, A. Chacon, M. Wagner, M. Halder, R. Georgii, A. Rosch, C. Pfleiderer, and M. Garst

Phys. Rev. B 95, 024429 (2017) - Published 25 January, 2017

The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in the cubic chiral magnet MnSi stabilizes a magnetic helix - a periodic one-dimensional modulation of the magnetization. The orientation of this helix is determined by weak magnetocrystalline anisotropies, but it can be reoriented by applying a magnetic field. Here, the authors have studied this reorientation process by means of small-angle neutron scattering and susceptibility measurements. Their results are in excellent agreement with predictions of an effective mean-field theory taking into account the precise symmetries of the crystal structure. Measurements of the magnetization and ac susceptibility provide evidence that the reorientation of helimagnetic domains is associated with large relaxation times exceeding seconds. In addition, hysteresis at the Ising transitions indicates, within the same theoretical framework, the formation of an abundance of plastic deformations of the helical spin order. These deformations comprise topologically nontrivial disclinations, reminiscent of the skyrmions discovered recently in the same class of materials.
