EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Quantum oscillations in the anomalous spin density wave state of FeAs

Daniel J. Campbell, Chris Eckberg, Kefeng Wang, Limin Wang, Halyna Hodovanets, Dave Graf, David Parker, and Johnpierre Paglione

Phys. Rev. B 96, 075120 (2017) - Published 10 August, 2017

The authors succeeded in growing high-quality crystals of binary FeAs, a spin density wave antiferromagnet with similarities to two families of unconventional superconductors. Quantum oscillations were measured in magnetic torque at high fields, making it possible to compare experimental electronic structure to prior density functional theory calculations. The two agree on the multicarrier nature of FeAs in the magnetic state, but diverge in some aspects of the Fermi-surface geometry. The theoretical results have so far been unable to describe the magnetic structure, and the presented experimental data now indicate that that could be due to an incorrect Fermi surface picture. Oscillations analysis also shows enhanced effective masses compared to theory, indicating that electron correlations may have previously been underappreciated in this material.

Duality and universal transport in mixed-dimension electrodynamics

Wei-Han Hsiao and Dam Thanh Son

Phys. Rev. B 96, 075127 (2017) - Published 14 August, 2017

Using the recently conjectured fermion particle-vortex duality, the authors demonstrate that the theory of a single (2+1)-dimensional Dirac fermion coupled to an Abelian gauge field in a (3+1)-dimensional bulk exhibits a strong-weak duality. The duality is a manifestation of the electromagnetic S-duality in the bulk. At the self-dual point, they find several exact relations between transport coefficients, such as conductivity, Hall conductivity, and thermoelectric coefficients. Consequently, the duality provides new constraints on the physics of a strongly interacting system.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Emergent particle-hole symmetry in spinful bosonic quantum Hall systems

S. D. Geraedts, C. Repellin, Chong Wang, Roger S. K. Mong, T. Senthil, and N. Regnault

Phys. Rev. B 96, 075148 (2017) - Published 23 August, 2017

Recently, a reevaluation of particle-hole symmetry in fermionic quantum Hall systems has led to a wealth of new insights about quantum Hall phases and connections between quantum Hall physics and other topological phases as well as high-energy physics. Similar progress may be possible in the bosonic case if such a symmetry exists, unlike the fermionic case such a symmetry is not exact. Here, the authors provide the first evidence for the existence of an emergent bosonic particle-hole symmetry.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Length scale of puddle formation in compensation-doped semiconductors and topological insulators

Thomas Bömerich, Jonathan Lux, Qingyufei Terenz Feng, and Achim Rosch

Phys. Rev. B 96, 075204 (2017) - Published 17 August, 2017

In most semiconductors and insulators the presence of a small density of charged impurities cannot be avoided, but their effect can be reduced by introducing defects of opposite charge. Screening in such a system leads to the formation of electron-hole puddles, which dominate bulk transport, as first recognized by Efros and Shklovskii. This paper investigates the typical length scale, which determines the distance between puddles and the suppression of puddle formation close to metallic surface states. The authors find that this length scale is much smaller than previously anticipated, with profound consequences for the sample quality of thin films of topological insulators.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Ab initio study of the ${BaTiO}_{3} / Ge$ interface

Mehmet Dogan and Sohrab Ismail-Beigi

Phys. Rev. B 96, 075301 (2017) - Published 1 August, 2017

Growing thin films of ferroelectric oxides in direct contact with semiconductors is a key research goal due to its technological promise. This work presents a comprehensive theoretical study of ultrathin films of BaTiO $_{3}$ on Ge. For the experimentally stable interface stoichiometry, there are two distinct interfacial configurations with differing out-of-plane electrical polarizations. The two configurations can be made energetically degenerate by choosing an appropriate top electrode, thus enabling, in principle, an epitaxial ferroelectric thin film oxide. Surprisingly, in the intrinsic limit for Ge, switching the oxide polarization state modulates the band alignments to such a degree that the dominant charge carrier switches between electrons and holes.

Zeeman and spin-orbit effects in the Andreev spectra of nanowire junctions

B. van Heck, J. I. Väyrynen, and L. I. Glazman

Phys. Rev. B 96, 075404 (2017) - Published 4 August, 2017

Microwave spectroscopy of a Josephson junction is a useful tool to directly measure the properties of Andreev bound states. Recently, this method has been successfully applied to junctions defined in proximitized InAs/Al nanowires whose realization is aimed at the study and use of Majorana zero modes. In these nanowires, Andreev bound states are sensitive to the interplay of spin-orbit coupling and applied magnetic field. Our theory investigates the evolution of the Andreev levels and of the associated microwave spectrum upon application and increase of magnetic field. The authors find that a drastic change in the spectrum occurs once the magnetic field is strong enough to affect the ground-state parity, which can happen before the topological transition. Besides explaining existing experimental data, the presented theory provides guidance for future experiments, involving the spectroscopic observation of the effects associated with Majorana zero modes.

Density functional perturbation theory for gated two-dimensional heterostructures: Theoretical developments and application to flexural phonons in graphene

Thibault Sohier, Matteo Calandra, and Francesco Mauri

Phys. Rev. B 96, 075448 (2017) - Published 31 August, 2017

In the search for exciting new physics and the design of next-generation devices, gated two-dimensional heterostructures are becoming omnipresent. As the fabrication and characterization techniques in this field improve, first-principles methods must follow suit. The authors present here an implementation of density functional perturbation theory, tailored to simulate the electronic and vibrational properties of two-dimensional heterostructures in the field-effect configuration. They apply the method to gated graphene and show that while the field effect activates the coupling between electrons and flexural phonons, this coupling is strongly screened by the electrons of doped graphene.
