Snowflake phononic topological insulator at the nanoscale

Christian Brendel, Vittorio Peano, Oskar Painter, and Florian Marquardt

Phys. Rev. B 97, 020102(R) (2018) - Published 18 January, 2018

The authors propose here the first experimentally viable scheme of a topological insulator for sound waves at the nanoscale. This significantly advances the field of nanoscale phononics, adding helical waveguides to its toolbox. The proposed device could hardly be simpler as it relies purely on a geometrical design, based on the “snowflake” phononic crystal that has already been demonstrated experimentally.

Direct evidence for cycloidal modulations in the thermal-fluctuation-stabilized spin spiral and skyrmion states of ${GaV}_{4} S_{8}$

J. S. White, Á. Butykai, R. Cubitt, D. Honecker, C. D. Dewhurst, L. F. Kiss, V. Tsurkan, and S. Bordács

Phys. Rev. B 97, 020401(R) (2018) - Published 5 January, 2018

It was recently proposed that multiferroic GaV $_{4}$ S $_{8}$ hosts a new Néel-type of magnetic skyrmion lattice in its bulk, though direct microscopic experimental evidence of this type of skyrmion state has been absent up to now. By using polarized small-angle neutron scattering, the authors show unambiguously that the spins twist cycloidally in all modulated phases of GaV $_{4}$ S $_{8}$ , consistent with that expected for Néel-type skyrmions. In a further contrast to any other skyrmion host material, all of the spiral and skyrmion phases in GaV $_{4}$ S $_{8}$ are shown to be stable only at finite temperature due to a delicate interplay between thermal agitation and a strong magnetic anisotropy.

Energetics of oxygen-octahedra rotations in perovskite oxides from first principles

Peng Chen, Mathieu N. Grisolia, Hong Jian Zhao, Otto E. González-Vázquez, L. Bellaiche, Manuel Bibes, Bang-Gui Liu, and Jorge Íñiguez

Phys. Rev. B 97, 024113 (2018) - Published 26 January, 2018

From superconductivity to magnetoelectricity, perovskite oxides exhibit a wealth of appealing physical properties, often controlled by subtle structural details. Especially critical are the ‘tilt’ distortion modes involving rotations of the oxygen octahedra that constitute the backbone of the perovskite lattice, which motivates today’s interest in better understanding and tuning such tilts. Here, the authors present a thorough first-principles investigation of the energy landscape relevant to this matter, revealing the main competitors among different tilt modes as well as their trends across the perovskite family.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Effect of applied orthorhombic lattice distortion on the antiferromagnetic phase of ${CeAuSb}_{2}$

Joonbum Park, Hideaki Sakai, Onur Erten, Andrew P. Mackenzie, and Clifford W. Hicks

Phys. Rev. B 97, 024411 (2018) - Published 11 January, 2018

Lattice symmetry is important for classifying ordered phases in solids, but can it have consequences for the energetics of phase formation? In the heavy-fermion antiferromagnet CeAuSb $_{2}$ , it does. The unstressed lattice is tetragonal, and an orthorhombic distortion can be created through in-plane uniaxial pressure. For small distortions, the Néel transition is hardly affected, since the tetragonal lattice symmetry provides an energetic stabilization of the magnetic order. When the applied orthorhombicity exceeds a threshold, however, the transition splits into two transitions, and the order changes qualitatively.

Theory of the magnetic skyrmion glass

Shintaro Hoshino and Naoto Nagaosa

Phys. Rev. B 97, 024413 (2018) - Published 16 January, 2018

Magnetic skyrmions discovered in chiral magnets show unique physical properties due to their nontrivial topology. While their basic properties have been well understood for pure systems, in real materials there is always disorder from, for example, crystal defects or impurities. This glassy nature substantially modifies the low-energy behavior, and hence the investigation of the skyrmion glass is crucial to understanding real materials. Here, the authors theoretically study disordered chiral magnets in terms of replica field theory, and provide a firm basis to explore the glassy state of magnetic skyrmions.

Origin of the net magnetic moment in ${LaCoO}_{3}$

G. M. Kaminsky, D. P. Belanger, F. Ye, J. A. Fernandez-Baca, J. Wang, M. Matsuda, and J.-Q. Yan

Phys. Rev. B 97, 024418 (2018) - Published 19 January, 2018

The authors here combine polarized neutron scattering experimental work with computational minimization of proposed Hamiltonians in an effort to understand the low-temperature magnetic behavior in small applied magnetic fields for LaCo $O_{3}$ . They provide an exceptionally comprehensive study of the phase diagrams generated by various Hamiltonians germane to a situation in which magnetic ordering occurs at twin boundaries due to antiferromagnetic chains crossing the boundary at an angle different than 90°.

Multispin-assisted optical pumping of bulk ${}^{13}C$ nuclear spin polarization in diamond

Daniela Pagliero, K. R. Koteswara Rao, Pablo R. Zangara, Siddharth Dhomkar, Henry H. Wong, Andrea Abril, Nabeel Aslam, Anna Parker, Jonathan King, Claudia E. Avalos, Ashok Ajoy, Joerg Wrachtrup, Alexander Pines, and Carlos A. Meriles

Phys. Rev. B 97, 024422 (2018) - Published 22 January, 2018

The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond is known to spin-polarize under optical illumination, but how is this polarization transferred to carbon spins in the bulk of the crystal? Here, the authors use field-cycled nuclear magnetic resonance to study the formation of light-driven $^{13}$ C spin polarization in NV-rich diamond at room temperature. By considering the system’s response to various magnetic fields, it is shown that $^{13}$ C spins polarize via a cross-relaxation process involving the NV center and the electron and nuclear spins of the substitutional nitrogen impurities. Furthermore, it is shown that high levels of $^{13}$ C spin polarization can be attained for almost any magnetic field orientation.

Direct measurement of the static and transient magneto-optical permittivity of cobalt across the entire $M$ -edge in reflection geometry by use of polarization scanning

Dmitriy Zusin, Phoebe M. Tengdin, Maithreyi Gopalakrishnan, Christian Gentry, Adam Blonsky, Michael Gerrity, Dominik Legut, Justin M. Shaw, Hans T. Nembach, T. J. Silva, Peter M. Oppeneer, Henry C. Kapteyn, and Margaret M. Murnane

Phys. Rev. B 97, 024433 (2018) - Published 30 January, 2018

It has long been known that the magnetic order in a material can be transiently disrupted by an intense laser pulse, on surprisingly fast sub-picosecond timescales. However, two decades after its discovery, the microscopic physics underlying this behavior is still not completely understood. Here, the authors develop a new extreme ultraviolet (EUV) magneto-optical spectroscopy that allows them to extract the full $d y n a m i c$ complex magneto-optical permittivity of a material. By exciting a Co film with a femtosecond laser pulse, and then scanning both the polarization and arrival time of a high-harmonic probe beam, they extract the instantaneous complex magneto-optical constant of Co across the $M_{2, 3}$ absorption edge. Through a direct comparison with $a b$ $i n i t i o$ theory, they show that the observed demagnetization is dominated by the excitation of magnons, with a possible small contribution from a reduction of the exchange splitting. This work further demonstrates the deepened insight on magnetism obtained through the recent application of tabletop-scale femtosecond EUV light sources.
