Exactly solvable models for symmetry-enriched topological phases

Meng Cheng, Zheng-Cheng Gu, Shenghan Jiang, and Yang Qi

Phys. Rev. B 96, 115107 (2017) - Published 6 September, 2017

Symmetry-enriched topological phases (SET) exhibit both long-range entanglement and intricate interplay with global symmetries, such as anyon permutation symmetry or fractionalization of quantum numbers, going beyond the Landau paradigm of symmetry breaking. Here, the authors study two-dimensional SET phases based on the novel concept of symmetric local unitary transformations. Using the fixed-point structure of wave functions, they construct systematically exactly solvable models that can describe generic nonchiral SET phases. The technique applies to on-site as well as spatial symmetries and, furthermore, to anomalous symmetries that can only be realized on the surface of three-dimensional symmetry-protected phases.

Defining time crystals via representation theory

Vedika Khemani, C. W. von Keyserlingk, and S. L. Sondhi

Phys. Rev. B 96, 115127 (2017) - Published 18 September, 2017

Time crystals are proposed states of matter that spontaneously break time translation symmetry. Despite much recent interest, there is no settled definition for such states and existing definitions only tangentially refer to the well-established foundations of spontaneous symmetry breaking. We offer a definition of time crystals, which treats time translation much like any other symmetry and follows the traditional recipe for defining Wigner symmetries and order parameters. Using our definition, we find: (i) systems with time independent Hamiltonians should not exhibit time translation symmetry breaking, and (ii) the many-body localized $π$ spin glass/Floquet time crystal can be viewed as breaking both a global internal symmetry and the time translation symmetry, as befits the two aspects of its name.

Fluctuation-induced continuous transition and quantum criticality in Dirac semimetals

Laura Classen, Igor F. Herbut, and Michael M. Scherer

Phys. Rev. B 96, 115132 (2017) - Published 20 September, 2017

Thermal phase transitions are successfully described by fluctuations of an appropriate order parameter, which further allows classification of the transition into first or second order. However, some quantum analogs of thermal phase transitions defy this description and identifying the mechanisms behind these unconventional processes will fundamentally improve our understanding of matter. Here, the authors provide a thorough study of such a transition, which has been experimentally accessed in graphene: the emergence of a Kekulé valence bond solid. Additional gapless quantum fluctuations of Dirac electrons change the nature of this transition from first to second order. Using a nonperturbative functional renormalization group approach, the authors advance the state-of-the-art estimates for the corresponding critical exponents and predict measurable corrections to scaling.

Universal boundary entropies in conformal field theory: A quantum Monte Carlo study

Wei Tang, Lei Chen, Wei Li, X. C. Xie, Hong-Hao Tu, and Lei Wang

Phys. Rev. B 96, 115136 (2017) - Published 19 September, 2017

In addition to the celebrated Affleck-Ludwig entropy originating from the open boundaries of the path-integral manifold, recent research has shown that the entropy correction on nonorientable manifolds such as the Klein bottle is also a universal characterization of critical systems with an emergent conformal field theory (CFT). Here, the authors show that the Klein bottle entropy can be interpreted as a boundary effect by transforming the Klein bottle into an orientable manifold, whereby the Klein bottle entropy bears a resemblance to the Affleck-Ludwig entropy. The authors then propose a generic scheme to extract these universal boundary entropies from lattice models. Numerical results for the $q$ -state Potts model are compared with the CFT predictions.

Raman scattering study of vibrational and magnetic excitations in ${Sr}_{2 - x} {La}_{x} {IrO}_{4}$

H. Gretarsson, J. Sauceda, N. H. Sung, M. Höppner, M. Minola, B. J. Kim, B. Keimer, and M. Le Tacon

Phys. Rev. B 96, 115138 (2017) - Published 20 September, 2017

Sr $_{2}$ IrO $_{4}$ is considered as a strong spin-orbit coupled equivalent of high-temperature superconducting cuprates. Recent experiments have most notably shown that upon electron doping a pseudogap emerges in Sr $_{2}$ IrO $_{4}$ and that magnonlike excitations survive the rapid disappearance of long-range magnetic order. However, due to the relatively small crystal sizes and the large Ir neutron cross section, information on charge excitations and magnetism has mostly been gathered using synchrotron-based spectroscopic methods. Here, the authors use Raman scattering on electron-doped Sr $_{2 - x}$ La $_{x}$ IrO $_{4}$ single crystals to carry out a temperature and doping study of the lattice and magnetic excitations, and observe the emergence upon doping of an electron-hole continuum that couples to the phonons. Even in metallic samples, fluctuating magnetic moments and mobile carriers therefore coexist, again in close analogy with the doped cuprates.

Anomalous Nernst and thermal Hall effects in tilted Weyl semimetals

Yago Ferreiros, A. A. Zyuzin, and Jens H. Bardarson

Phys. Rev. B 96, 115202 (2017) - Published 8 September, 2017

In the thermal Hall and Nernst effects, electric and heat currents, respectively, are induced perpendicular to an applied temperature gradient. Usually, such a response requires the application of a magnetic field. In contrast, here the authors establish that in Weyl semimetals – semimetals with a linear conical energy dispersion around a set of points called Weyl nodes – the Nernst effect can be realized without magnetic field, provided that the Weyl cones are tilted. This is the anomalous Nernst effect. It is significantly altered by the tilt of the Weyl cones, with Fermi surface contributions becoming important. Two experimental setups that would allow measuring both responses are discussed.

Spin-orbit coupling induced two-electron relaxation in silicon donor pairs

Yang Song and S. Das Sarma

Phys. Rev. B 96, 115444 (2017) - Published 25 September, 2017

Here, the authors discover the unexpected important role of intrinsic atomic donor spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in driving the relaxation of coupled-donor electron states in silicon-28, which is a promising host material for semiconductor qubits, despite the commonly perceived weak strength of atomic SOC in this material. The only existing spin-relaxation mechanism considered in this context before was the relaxation of two-electron states induced by hyperfine interaction with the donor nuclear spins. The new intrinsic SOC mechanism becomes important when the donors are closely spaced as is the case in silicon quantum computing architectures. This mechanism may also shed important new light on the well-studied problem of electron spin resonance in highly doped silicon.
