Slow scrambling in disordered quantum systems

Brian Swingle and Debanjan Chowdhury

Phys. Rev. B 95, 060201(R) (2017) - Published 21 February, 2017

Understanding the spread of quantum entanglement and scrambling of information across a quantum many-body system is a fundamental problem in quantum dynamics. A necessary part of the spread of the entanglement is the growth in time of Heisenberg operators of initially localized operators. This operator growth can be diagnosed by studying the space-time structure of commutators of well-separated operators. Previous studies in this area focused on translation invariant models, but the effects of disorder, which can radically alter the motion of heat and charge, had not been studied. Here, the authors study the growth of operators in interacting systems with quenched disorder. In the localized phase, they find that operator sizes grow logarithmically in time similar to other measures of entanglement spreading. In the disordered metal, they find that operator sizes grow linearly with time, i.e., ballistically, in contrast to the diffusive motion of charge and heat. The ballistic growth of operators is quantified by the butterfly velocity which the authors relate to the charge diffusion constant and the interaction-induced inelastic scattering rate. When the diffusion of charge is slow, the resulting butterfly velocity is much smaller than the maximum speed allowed by microscopic causality constraints.

Charge partitioning and anomalous hole doping in Rh-doped ${Sr}_{2} {IrO}_{4}$

S. Chikara, G. Fabbris, J. Terzic, G. Cao, D. Khomskii, and D. Haskel

Phys. Rev. B 95, 060407(R) (2017) - Published 15 February, 2017

The simultaneous presence of sizable spin-orbit interactions and electron correlations in iridates has led to predictions of novel electronic ground states, including Dirac semimetals, Kitaev spin liquids, and superconductivity. Electron and hole-doping studies of Sr $_{2}$ IrO $_{4}$ are one of the venues being pursued to attain such novel quantum states, driven in part by the extensive parallels with the La $_{2}$ CuO $_{4}$ parent compound of high- $T_{c}$ cuprates. In particular, Rh doping has been intensively pursued but the mechanism of electronic doping and its impact on the evolution of magnetic and transport properties has been under scrutiny. Using x-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Rh $K$ , $L$ , and Ir $L$ edges, the authors reveal unusual charge partitioning between Rh and Ir sites. The resultant anomalous doping introduces holes into the $J_{eff}$ =1/2 band at low Rh content only for these holes to be removed at higher Rh content. This anomalous doping provides a natural explanation for the reentrant insulating phase in the phase diagram of Rh-doped Sr $_{2}$ IrO $_{4}$ and should be taken into account when searching for novel electronic phases in 5 $d$ iridates doped with 4 $d$ or 3 $d$ elements where anomalous charge partitioning is expected.

New magnetic phase in the nickelate perovskite ${TlNiO}_{3}$

L. Korosec, M. Pikulski, T. Shiroka, M. Medarde, H. Luetkens, J. A. Alonso, H. R. Ott, and J. Mesot

Phys. Rev. B 95, 060411(R) (2017) - Published 16 February, 2017

The rare-earth nickelate perovskites ( $R$ NiO $_{3}$ , $R$ = rare-earth element) are an archetypal class of correlated electron materials. They order antiferromagnetically at a composition-dependent “Néel” temperature. While it is known that the magnetic structure has a period of four Ni spins along each (pseudo)cubic crystal axis, the arrangement of these spins is still under debate, especially in view of the conjecture of ferroelectricity in the antiferromagnetic phase. Here, the authors report the experimental discovery of an unexpected second magnetic phase transition in TlNiO $_{3}$ , a material closely resembling the analogous rare-earth compounds. Results of nuclear magnetic resonance and muon spin rotation experiments reveal the presence of two distinct magnetic phase transitions. The new phase is suppressed by magnetic fields on the order of at most 1 T.

Quenching a quantum critical state by the order parameter: Dynamical quantum phase transitions and quantum speed limits

Markus Heyl

Phys. Rev. B 95, 060504(R) (2017) - Published 9 February, 2017

The dynamics in the vicinity of quantum phase transitions entails a variety of important and universal phenomena, such as critical slowing down or the Kibble-Zurek mechanism, which are associated with the low-energy and long-time properties at criticality. Here, the author reveals that the opposite regime of transient nonequilibrium time evolution at criticality can similarly host universal temporal behavior. By strongly perturbing a quantum critical state through quenching the associated order parameter, the system experiences a dynamical quantum phase transition with physical quantities becoming nonanalytic at critical times. These dynamical quantum phase transitions are caused by superextensive energy fluctuations induced by the particular protocol, which turn out to have profound consequences for quantum speed limits and potential restricted thermalization despite the nonintegrability of the system.

Acoustic solitons: A robust tool to investigate the generation and detection of ultrafast acoustic waves

Emmanuel Péronne, Nicolas Chuecos, Laura Thevenard, and Bernard Perrin

Phys. Rev. B 95, 064306 (2017) - Published 14 February, 2017

Solitons are self-preserving traveling waves of great interest in nonlinear physics, offering many interesting application such as high-bandwidth optical fiber communication. Solitons can also appear in ultrafast acoustics, and several observations suggest acoustic solitons as short as 200 fs. Here, the authors designed an experimental setup to observe and characterize acoustic solitons traveling through a GaAs(001) substrate. The experimental signal is explained well with the help of the Korteweg–de Vries equation, demonstrating the particlelike nature and the unique properties of the solitons. Moreover, the temporal distribution of the solitons is also analyzed with the help of the inverse scattering method. Such investigations provide a new tool to probe transient properties of highly excited matter through the study of the solitons due to the acoustic pulse emitted after laser excitation.

Spin Hall torques generated by rare-earth thin films

Neal Reynolds, Priyamvada Jadaun, John T. Heron, Colin L. Jermain, Jonathan Gibbons, Robyn Collette, R. A. Buhrman, D. G. Schlom, and D. C. Ralph

Phys. Rev. B 95, 064412 (2017) - Published 14 February, 2017

The spin Hall effect is of great technological interest because it can produce efficient spin-transfer torques with the potential to advance magnetic memory technologies. Here, the authors demonstrate that the spin Hall effect can be enhanced by the presence of $f$ -orbital states near the Fermi level. The authors compare measurements of spin Hall torques generated by the rare-earth metals Gd, Dy, Ho, and Lu with the results of first-principles calculations of intrinsic spin Hall conductivity with and without $f$ -orbital participation. They find that contributions from the $f$ -orbital states are required to explain the experimental trend in spin Hall conductivity as a function of $f$ -orbital filling. The observed trend is consistent in both sign and magnitude with a simple Hund’s rules picture of $f$ -orbital filling, similar to the trend observed in the 4 $d$ and 5 $d$ transition metals as a function of $d$ -orbital filling. These results suggest that rare earths are a promising research direction for creating and tailoring materials with large spin-orbit torques.

Elucidation of the helical spin structure of FeAs

Phys. Rev. B 95, 064424 (2017) - Published 22 February, 2017

It has been argued that the itinerant magnetism in the simplest of all iron arsenide systems, the monoarsenide FeAs, may be related to the magnetic ground states of iron-based superconductors. Here, the authors provide new insight into the magnetism of FeAs through a combination of resonant x-ray scattering measurements and electronic structure calculations. They report measurements of the magnetic anisotropy of the spin helices by using polarized x-rays tuned to the resonant absorption edge of iron. They elucidate details of the magnetic structure, showing that the ratio of ellipticity of the spin helix is significantly larger than previously thought, and discover both a right-handed chirality and an out-of-plane component of the magnetic moments in the spin helix. The electronic structure calculations demonstrate how the origin of this spin canting effect may be accounted for by considering the spin-orbit coupling at work in the system.

Chatterley, Tais Gorkhover, Maria Müller, John Bozek, Sebastian Carron, Justin Kwok, Samuel L. Butler, Thomas Möller, Christoph Bostedt, Oliver Gessner, and Andrey F. Vilesov

Phys. Rev. B 95, 064510 (2017) - Published 16 February, 2017

Helium nanodroplets are considered ideal model systems to explore quantum hydrodynamics in self-contained, isolated superfluids. Rotation of a superfluid droplet is manifested as a collection of quantum vortices. Here, the authors use single-shot femtosecond X-ray coherent diffractive imaging to investigate the shapes and vorticity of rotating superfluid $^{4}$ He droplets. They find that most of the diffraction contours exhibit noticeable ellipticity. A smaller but still significant number of distorted diffraction contours are marked by regions of high intensity concentrated along the direction of the long axis in the diffraction image, indicating the presence of extremely deformed $^{4}$ He droplets. Forward modeling of the diffraction images shows that the shapes of superfluid $^{4}$ He droplets are very similar to their classical counterparts. In particular, the existence of both axially symmetric (oblate) and, for higher angular momenta, two-lobed (triaxial prolate) droplets is revealed. The latter shapes are strongly deformed compared to the spheroidal bodies that are expected for smaller rotational speeds. The observed shapes provide direct access to the droplet angular momenta, angular velocities, and estimated number of quantum vortices inside the droplets.
