Crystalline Kitaev spin liquids

Masahiko G. Yamada, Vatsal Dwivedi, and Maria Hermanns

Phys. Rev. B 96, 155107 (2017) - Published 6 October, 2017

Three-dimensional Kitaev models – generalizations of the well known exactly solvable Kitaev honeycomb model – exhibit a rich variety of quantum spin liquid phases. Their fractionalized excitations are Majorana fermions that may form topological band structures. These can be enriched by lattice symmetries, as shown in the present work. In particular, the authors propose two new instances of Kitaev spin liquids that exhibit nodal chains and 3D Dirac nodes in the bulk. Such crystalline Kitaev spin liquids are direct generalizations of crystalline topological insulators, albeit in an interacting spin system. A potential material realization in metal-organic frameworks is also discussed.

Periodic table for Floquet topological insulators

Rahul Roy and Fenner Harper

Phys. Rev. B 96, 155118 (2017) - Published 13 October, 2017

Periodically driven systems have recently been shown to host topological phases that are inherently dynamical in character, opening up a new arena in which to explore topological physics. One important group of such phases, known as Floquet topological insulators, arise in systems of free fermions and exhibit protected topological edge modes analogous to the edge modes of static topological insulators. In this work, the authors use methods from K theory to provide a complete topological classification of Floquet topological phases of this kind. The main result is a periodic table for Floquet topological insulators, which may be viewed as a time-dependent extension of the periodic table of topological insulators and superconductors originally introduced by Alexei Kitaev.

Entanglement renormalization for disordered systems

Andrew M. Goldsborough and Glen Evenbly

Phys. Rev. B 96, 155136 (2017) - Published 24 October, 2017

Tensor network states have proven to be powerful tools for investigating quantum many-body systems. Here, the authors propose a tensor network method, based on an adaptation of entanglement renormalization, for investigating strongly disordered systems. The method makes use of the strong disorder renormalization group to determine the order in which lattice sites are coarse grained, which sets the overall structure of the corresponding tensor network ansatz, before optimization using variational energy minimization. This approach leads to a new class of efficiently contractible tensor network ansatz for 1D systems, which may be understood as a generalization of the multiscale entanglement renormalization ansatz for disordered systems.

New class of flat-band models on tetragonal and hexagonal lattices: Gapped versus crossing flat bands

Tatsuhiro Misumi and Hideo Aoki

Phys. Rev. B 96, 155137 (2017) - Published 25 October, 2017

There is an increasing fascination centered on superconductivity and topological properties with bands that are flat due to quantum mechanical interference. An important question remains: can we actually control the energy of the flat band against the dispersive ones? Here, the authors have constructed classes of models in two (or higher) dimensions in a systematic extension of the known flat bands, where the controllability provides a flat band with a tunable gap, or a flat band that pierces right through the dispersive one. While the former may favor ferromagnetism, the latter is expected to favor high-Tc superconductivity through virtual pair hopping from dispersive to flat bands.

Effect of edge plasmons on the optical properties of MoS2 monolayer flakes

Tuomas P. Rossi, Kirsten T. Winther, Karsten W. Jacobsen, Risto M. Nieminen, Martti J. Puska, and Kristian S. Thygesen

Phys. Rev. B 96, 155407 (2017) - Published 5 October, 2017

The electronic edge states of MoS2 nanoparticles are important for the catalytic activity of the particles and could also have potential for photocatalysis. Here, the authors explore computationally optical properties of MoS2 monolayer nanoflakes. These nanostructures show a rich size-dependent optical response below the absorption onset of the infinite monolayer. The authors present a detailed analysis of the emerging optical absorption resonances revealing their edge-state origins. In particular, metallic edge states support localized edge plasmons, and overall, resonances are sensitive to changes in the edge-atom configuration.

Multiband k·p theory of monolayer XSe (X=In,Ga)

Ma Zhou, Rui Zhang, Jiangpeng Sun, Wen-Kai Lou, Dong Zhang, Wen Yang, and Kai Chang

Phys. Rev. B 96, 155430 (2017) - Published 11 October, 2017

Multiband kp Hamiltonians near the high symmetric points in the Brillouin zones of two-dimensional (2D) materials are widely used to predict and understand the unique transport and optical properties of 2D materials. Based on the crystal symmetry of 2D materials, the authors develop a multiband kp Hamiltonian for monolayer GaSe and InSe using the theory of invariants. The authors establish the relationship between the crystal lattice symmetry and the Hamiltonian matrix elements, accounting for spin-orbit interaction and strain. The work provides a systematic way to construct the relevant multiband kp Hamiltonian for various monolayer and few-layer materials.

The electronic edge states of MoS2 nanoparticles are important for the catalytic activity of the particles and could also have potential for photocatalysis. Here, the authors explore computationally optical properties of MoS2 monolayer nanoflakes. These nanostructures show a rich size-dependent optical response below the absorption onset of the infinite monolayer. The authors present a detailed analysis of the emerging optical absorption resonances revealing their edge-state origins. In particular, metallic edge states support localized edge plasmons, and overall, resonances are sensitive to changes in the edge-atom configuration.

Multiband kp Hamiltonians near the high symmetric points in the Brillouin zones of two-dimensional (2D) materials are widely used to predict and understand the unique transport and optical properties of 2D materials. Based on the crystal symmetry of 2D materials, the authors develop a multiband kp Hamiltonian for monolayer GaSe and InSe using the theory of invariants. The authors establish the relationship between the crystal lattice symmetry and the Hamiltonian matrix elements, accounting for spin-orbit interaction and strain. The work provides a systematic way to construct the relevant multiband kp Hamiltonian for various monolayer and few-layer materials.
