Hyperuniform disordered phononic structures

G. Gkantzounis, T. Amoah, and M. Florescu

Ubiquity of quantum zero-point fluctuations in dislocation glide

Marie Landeiro Dos Reis, Anshuman Choudhury, and Laurent Proville

Phys. Rev. B 95, 094103 (2017) - Published 8 March, 2017

Modeling the dislocation glide through atomic-scale simulations in pure solids and alloys, the authors show that in the course of the plastic deformation the variation of the crystal’s zero point energy (ZPE) and the dislocation potential energy barriers are of opposite sign. The multiplicity of situations in which this same trend has been observed allows us to conclude that quantum fluctuations, giving rise to crystal ZPE, make dislocation glide easier in most materials.

Disorder-induced phase transitions of type-II Weyl semimetals

Moon Jip Park, Bora Basa, and Matthew J. Gilbert

Phys. Rev. B 95, 094201 (2017) - Published 2 March, 2017

Weyl semimetals (WSM) have quickly gained popularity since their discovery and they are now the subject of intense theoretical and experimental research. In general, the WSM is categorized as being either type I or type II. The type-I WSM is characterized by broken inversion symmetry, while the type II by broken Lorentz symmetry. Due to this characteristic difference in the Fermi surfaces of the two types, it is necessary to extend our understanding of WSMs to include the different physical properties that having a tilted spectrum offers. In this vein, disorder-induced phase transitions have been well established for type-I WSMs, while the converse is not the case for type-II WSMs. In this work, the authors demonstrate that the type-I WSM with a nonzero tilting term undergoes a quantum phase transition to the type-II WSM in the presence of random on-site electric and magnetic impurity disorder. They show that the Fermi velocity decreases with increasing disorder strength and, therefore, a type-I to type-II transition occurs before the insulating transition. The conclusion is that the type-I WSM with nonzero tilt will always undergo a disorder-induced transition to the type-II WSM phase.

Operator entanglement entropy of the time evolution operator in chaotic systems

Tianci Zhou and David J. Luitz

Phys. Rev. B 95, 094206 (2017) - Published 23 March, 2017

Entanglement entropy is a widely applicable indicator of the onset of quantum chaos. In particular, the entanglement entropy of the wave function after a quench from an initial state with low entanglement can be used to study the thermalization of the system. Here, the authors propose an initial-state independent quantity called the “operator entanglement entropy” (opEE) to extract the properties of the unitary evolution operator. They study the growth of the opEE in Floquet, chaotic, and many-body localized systems. They respectively have a linear, power-law, and logarithmic growth before reaching extensive saturation values. The most chaotic Floquet spin model has the maximal saturation value among the three classes and is identical to the value of a random unitary operator (the Page value). The authors interpret the opEE as the state EE of a quenched state living in a doubled Hilbert space, thus establishing its consistency with the existing state EE results. They conclude that the EE of the evolution operator should characterize the propagation of information in these systems.

Cluster multipole theory for anomalous Hall effect in antiferromagnets

M.-T. Suzuki, T. Koretsune, M. Ochi, and R. Arita

Phys. Rev. B 95, 094406 (2017) - Published 7 March, 2017

Here, the authors discover a missing link between antiferromagnetism and the Hall effect by introducing a theoretical framework based on a novel concept, cluster multipole (CMP), to characterize macroscopic magnetization of antiferromagnets. Whereas the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) is usually observed in ferromagnets and explained as an outcome of the macroscopic dipole magnetization, CMP theory reveals that a certain type of antiferromagnetic (AFM) structure induces the AHE despite no net magnetization. The new order parameters enable us to characterize the AHE in the AFM states and explain the AHE in the AFM states of Mn3Ir and Mn3Z (Z = Sn, Ge), for which the large AHE has recently been studied. Furthermore, the theory can deal with the AHE in antiferromagnets on an equal footing with that in simple ferromagnets. The authors compare the AHE in antiferromagnetic Mn3Z Mn3Z and ferromagnetic bcc Fe based on first-principles calculations and find out their similarity with respect to the CMP moments. The theory brings on a significant step forward in our current understanding of anomalous current in condensed matter, and the obtained knowledge could be crucial in the future for the design of antiferromagnetic devices, e.g., with possible spintronics-related applications.

Chern-Simons theory and Wilson loops in the Brillouin zone

Biao Lian, Cumrun Vafa, Farzan Vafa, and Shou-Cheng Zhang

Phys. Rev. B 95, 094512 (2017) - Published 20 March, 2017

Berry connection is conventionally defined as a static gauge field in the Brillouin zone. Here, the authors show that for three-dimensional (3D) time-reversal invariant superconductors, a generalized Berry gauge field behaves as a fluctuating field of a momentum-space Chern-Simons gauge theory, which is the effective theory of the system. Furthermore, the gapless nodal lines in the momentum space which may arise in such superconductors play exactly the role of Wilson loop observables, and their linking and knot invariants modify the gravitational theta angle which can be evaluated from the Chern-Simons action. This angle induces a topological gravitomagnetoelectric effect where a temperature gradient induces a rotational energy flow. The authors also show how this idea may be potentially generalized to realize topological strings in six-dimensional phase space, where the physical space defects play the role of topological D-branes.

Berry connection is conventionally defined as a static gauge field in the Brillouin zone. Here, the authors show that for three-dimensional (3D) time-reversal invariant superconductors, a generalized Berry gauge field behaves as a fluctuating field of a momentum-space Chern-Simons gauge theory, which is the effective theory of the system. Furthermore, the gapless nodal lines in the momentum space which may arise in such superconductors play exactly the role of Wilson loop observables, and their linking and knot invariants modify the gravitational theta angle which can be evaluated from the Chern-Simons action. This angle induces a topological gravitomagnetoelectric effect where a temperature gradient induces a rotational energy flow. The authors also show how this idea may be potentially generalized to realize topological strings in six-dimensional phase space, where the physical space defects play the role of topological D-branes.
