Intertube effects on one-dimensional correlated state of metallic single-wall carbon nanotubes probed by ${}^{13}C$ NMR

Noboru Serita, Yusuke Nakai, Kazuyuki Matsuda, Kazuhiro Yanagi, Yasumitsu Miyata, Takeshi Saito, and Yutaka Maniwa

Phys. Rev. B 95, 035128 (2017) - Published 18 January, 2017

Due to the one-dimensional nature of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), electron-electron interactions are of great importance because the lack of screening enhances the effective Coulomb interactions between electrons, and individual SWCNTs have been considered as an ideal realization of a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL). In an actual SWCNT sample, SWCNTs usually pack together closely and form a bundle structure, in which intertube effects may alter the TLL state significantly. Here, the authors study the TLL effect in bundles of metallic SWCNTs using $^{13}$ C nuclear magnetic resonance techniques to understand how the intertube effects alter the electron-electron interaction in the bundle form. They find a modified charge Luttinger parameter for the bundled metallic SWCNTs. Their findings give direct evidence that bundling reduces the effective Coulomb interactions via intertube interactions within bundled metallic SWCNTs.

Many-body localization in the presence of a small bath

Katharine Hyatt, James R. Garrison, Andrew C. Potter, and Bela Bauer

Phys. Rev. B 95, 035132 (2017) - Published 19 January, 2017

In the presence of strong disorder and weak interactions, closed quantum systems can enter a many-body localized phase wherein the system does not conduct heat or charge, does not equilibrate even for arbitrarily long times, and robustly violates quantum statistical mechanics. While this is well established in closed quantum systems, the interplay of such systems with delocalized degrees of freedom is much less understood. Here, the authors consider a model for which, in the noninteracting limit, some degrees of freedom are localized while others remain delocalized. Such a system can be viewed as a model for a many-body localized system brought into contact with a small bath of a comparable number of degrees of freedom. The authors numerically and analytically study the effect of interactions on this system and find that in certain parameter regimes, results are consistent with interaction-induced localization of the entire system.

Type-II Dirac surface states in topological crystalline insulators

Ching-Kai Chiu, Y.-H. Chan, Xiao Li, Y. Nohara, and A. P. Schnyder

Phys. Rev. B 95, 035151 (2017) - Published 30 January, 2017

Topological crystalline insulators are insulating in the bulk, but exhibit conducting surface states protected by crystal symmetries. Here, the authors show that the surface states of crystalline topological insulators come in two different varieties: (i) as standard Dirac cones with pointlike Fermi surfaces (type-I) and (ii) as tilted Dirac cones that appear at the contact of electron and hole pockets. They call these new tilted surface states “type-II Dirac states” in analogy to the three-dimensional type-II Weyl points that have been recently discovered in WTe $_{2}$ . These type-II Dirac states can exist only at the surface of topological crystalline insulators, but are absent in ordinary topological insulators, where they are forbidden by symmetry. The two types of Dirac surface states have very different physical properties, in particular with regards to their thermodynamics and magnetotransport. The authors predict that the antiperovskites $A_{3} E$ O are an example of a crystalline topological insulator that hosts the type-II Dirac surface states.

$P \cdot T \cdot D$ symmetry-protected scattering anomaly in optics

Mário G. Silveirinha

Phys. Rev. B 95, 035153 (2017) - Published 30 January, 2017

Light waves propagating in optical fibers or other guides are usually vulnerable to defects or channel deformations, such as twisting and bending. These perturbations invariably generate undesired reflections and scattering and typically imply a power penalty. Here, building on an analogy with electronics and with the spin Hall effect, the author unveils a general theoretical solution for this dilemma. It is shown that there is a wide class of three-dimensional metamaterial platforms protected by a particular symmetry – a combination of a geometrical operation with other more subtle symmetries of the materials response – that guarantees bidirectional transport of light totally free of reflections, independent of the specific geometry of the propagation channel and other imperfections. Crucially, this scattering anomaly only requires the symmetry protection in the frequency range of interest, and hence relies on much weaker assumptions than topological theories.

Resonant optical spectroscopy and coherent control of $C r^{4 +}$ spin ensembles in SiC and GaN

William F. Koehl, Berk Diler, Samuel J. Whiteley, Alexandre Bourassa, N. T. Son, Erik Janzén, and David D. Awschalom

Phys. Rev. B 95, 035207 (2017) - Published 19 January, 2017

The authors identify a new class of optically controllable, semiconductor-based defect spin that is formed from the $d$ -orbital electrons of chromium ions in silicon carbide and gallium nitride. These ions possess a simple lambda optical structure that couples only weakly to phonons and lattice strain. Therefore, even though they probe an ensemble of many ions at once with varying strain environments, the optical transitions they observe are exceptionally narrow and possess a high radiative efficiency. These properties allow the authors to individually interrogate the magnetic sublevels of the ground-state spin using resonant optical excitation, enabling ensemble optical spin polarization as well as optically detected magnetic resonance in the time domain. Each ion species emits the majority of its luminescence within a near-infrared zero-phonon line, suggesting a capacity for efficient photonic integration. Additionally, as magnetically active $d$ -orbital states, the spins of these ions possess a number of degrees of design freedom not available to other common defect spin species such as those based on vacancy complexes. The authors therefore expect that these studies will broaden the range of opportunities available to semiconductor-based quantum device engineering, and will motivate further explorations into the use of transition metal ions as optically active qubit states.

Quantum oscillations in a lead chalcogenide three-dimensional Dirac system

Filip Orbanić, Mario Novak, Mirko Baćani, and Ivan Kokanović

Phys. Rev. B 95, 035208 (2017) - Published 20 January, 2017

The three-dimensional (3D) Dirac materials represent a dimensional extension of the two-dimensional physics seen in graphene. Recently, two types of 3D Dirac materials have been proposed. The first type are the symmetry protected 3D Dirac materials with the Cd $_{3}$ As $_{2}$ as the representative material. The second type are materials with accidental touching of the conduction and valence bands in a single point. In this paper, the authors are reporting bulk quantum oscillations in Pb $_{1 - x}$ Sn $_{x}$ Se, a latter type of material, which has also been recently identified as a topological crystalline insulator with a topological phase transition predicted to take place at $x$ =0.17. The authors have used the quantum oscillations in resistivity and magnetization to identify the phase of the oscillation and prove that this material has the 3D Dirac linear dispersion for $x$ =0.17. Combining the oscillations in the resistivity and magnetization, the authors provide the consistent indexing method for drawing the Landau level diagrams that are used in identifying the Berry phase.

Resonant optical control of the spin of a single Cr atom in a quantum dot

A. Lafuente-Sampietro, H. Utsumi, H. Boukari, S. Kuroda, and L. Besombes

Phys. Rev. B 95, 035303 (2017) - Published 10 January, 2017

A Cr atom in a semiconductor host carries a localized spin with an intrinsic large spin to strain coupling particularly promising for the development of hybrid spin-mechanical systems. The authors demonstrate here that the spin of an individual Cr atom can be controlled optically. To optically access to the spin of an individual atom, they insert it in a cadmium telluride quantum dot. With a single Cr atom introduced in the quantum dot, the energy and polarization of the photon emitted or absorbed by the dot depends on the spin state of the magnetic atom. The authors first show that excitation with a laser beam tuned to the wavelength of one of these optical transitions can be used to initialize the state of the Cr spin and to probe its dynamics optically: the Cr behaves like an optically addressable spin-based memory. Under optical excitation exactly resonant with an absorption transition one can also enter the strong coupling regime where hybrid states of matter and light are created. The spin-dependent strong coupling with the laser field is exploited to optically tune the Cr atom’s energy levels.

Light-hole exciton in a nanowire quantum dot

Mathieu Jeannin, Alberto Artioli, Pamela Rueda-Fonseca, Edith Bellet-Amalric, Kuntheak Kheng, Régis André, Serge Tatarenko, Joël Cibert, David Ferrand, and Gilles Nogues

Phys. Rev. B 95, 035305 (2017) - Published 17 January, 2017

Quantum dots are promising building blocks for future optoelectronics or quantum information applications. Many of their properties derive from the quantum state of the hole trapped in the dot. “Light” and “heavy” hole states differ by the anisotropic character of their spin and of the electric dipole they form with a trapped electron. Light holes are of particular interest as they offer extended opportunities for optical manipulation of single carriers, or the electrical manipulation of magnetic objects. Here, the authors demonstrate that the hole ground state can be engineered through a proper design of the strain built in the dot when inserted inside a nanowire of a different lattice parameter. Two complementary techniques provide evidence of a light hole state: polarization-resolved Fourier imaging, which is sensitive to the nature of the electron-hole electric dipole, and magneto-optical spectroscopy, which probes the hole spin state through its coupling to magnetic atoms.

Anomalous Fraunhofer interference in epitaxial superconductor-semiconductor Josephson junctions

H. J. Suominen, J. Danon, M. Kjaergaard, K. Flensberg, J. Shabani, C. J. Palmstrøm, F. Nichele, and C. M. Marcus

Phys. Rev. B 95, 035307 (2017) - Published 18 January, 2017

Fraunhofer interference is a paradigmatic phenomena arising due to phase coherence in diverse systems from optics to superconducting junctions. In Josephson junctions, coupling two superconductors through a weak link, such patterns arise in the maximal dissipationless current the system can sustain, oscillating as function of a perpendicular applied magnetic field. By investigating this effect in a recently realized material system epitaxially coupling a thin superconductor to a semiconducting region, the authors here discover novel effects arising due to a combination of magnetic field screening, spin physics, and disorder. In an appropriately aligned in-plane magnetic field, they find that due to screening by the superconducting leads, a flux dipole develops in the semiconducting region leading to an effective confinement of the superconducting states to edges of the intervening semiconducting region. When the out-of-plane field is swept in the presence of an in-plane field, striking asymmetries in the Fraunhofer pattern are observed. By analyzing the underlying theoretical symmetries of the system, they demonstrate that such an effect arises as a result of an intricate interplay between disorder in the junction, splitting of the spin states in the applied field, and coupling between the momentum of the electrons and their spin.

Photon echoes from (In,Ga)As quantum dots embedded in a Tamm-plasmon microcavity

Phys. Rev. B 95, 035312 (2017) - Published 30 January, 2017

Tamm resonators are an alternate type of cavities, in which the light-matter interaction may be significantly enhanced, as required for many applications in photonics or optoelectronics. A Tamm resonator comprises at least one metal layer as mirror, in the present case combined with a distributed Bragg reflector. The metal layer may turn out to be useful, for example, for injecting carriers or applying an electric field. Here, the authors use photon echoes in the exciton four-wave mixing signal to demonstrate that the studied Tamm resonator, which contains quantum dots as the optically active medium, allows one to perform coherent manipulations on quantum-dot excitons at power levels more than one order of magnitude lower than those required for bare quantum dots. This occurs despite the moderate quality factor of about 100. Moreover, it speeds up the radiative decay of the excitons by a factor of two (the so-called “Purcell effect”). On the other hand, the coherence of the quantum dot exciton, which may become compromised by plasmon excitations in the metal, is hardly shortened. These results demonstrate that Tamm resonators are indeed prospective candidates for performing coherent optical manipulations.

Many-body theory of trion absorption features in two-dimensional semiconductors

Dmitry K. Efimkin and Allan H. MacDonald

Phys. Rev. B 95, 035417 (2017) - Published 17 January, 2017

Monolayer two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDCs) exhibit exceptionally strong spin-orbit and electron-electron interaction effects and have provided a rich new playground for the exploration of exciton physics. Recent experiments have demonstrated that in the presence of excess charge carriers the prominent excitonic features in optical absorption split into two separate peaks. The appearance of the additional peak is usually attributed to the presence of trions, charged fermionic quasiparticles formed by binding two electrons to one hole or two holes to one electron. The authors here argue that in the density range for which amplitudes of two peaks are comparable three-particle physics is of importance, and the appropriate picture is one of excitons interacting with the Fermi sea formed by additional charge carriers. These interactions result in the dressing of excitons into exciton-polarons. The exciton spectrum splits into a lower energy attractive exciton-polaron branch, normally identified as a trion branch, and a higher energy repulsive exciton-polaron branch, normally identified as an exciton branch. The authors provide a complete theory of absorption, which incorporates both static and dynamic effects of Fermi sea, and analyze frequency and doping dependence of optical conductivity in detail. The calculated density dependence of peak splitting and their amplitudes and widths are in agreement with recent experiments.
