Atlas for the properties of elemental two-dimensional metals

Janne Nevalaita and Pekka Koskinen

Phys. Rev. B 97, 035411 (2018) - Published 10 January, 2018

Two-dimensional materials research has recently advanced to free-standing, atomically thin metallic nanostructures. To facilitate further progress, the authors construct a periodic table for the properties of 2D elemental metals using density functional theory. The theoretical values for cohesive energies, bond lengths, and elastic moduli of 45 metals correlate linearly with the corresponding properties of the familiar bulk metals. The presentation of these correlations and their causes provides for profound insights into material research that would help design new 2D nanosize heterostructures with optical, catalytic, and nanoelectronic applications.

Gauge field entanglement in Kitaev's honeycomb model

Balázs Dóra and Roderich Moessner

Phys. Rev. B 97, 035109 (2018) - Published 5 January, 2018

A spin fractionalizes into matter and gauge fermions in the Kitaev spin liquid on the honeycomb lattice, which is topologically ordered for certain parameters. To what extent does only one constituent of a fractionalized topological system signal the existence of topological order? To answer this, the authors focus on the reduced density matrix of the gauge sector on a cylinder after tracing out the matter degrees of freedom. The ensuing gauge entanglement Hamiltonian contains infinitely long-range correlations along the symmetry axis of the cylinder. Rather small correctly chosen gauge partitions can still account for the topological entanglement entropy in spite of long-range correlations in the gauge entanglement Hamiltonian.

Quantum anomalous Hall state from spatially decaying interactions on the decorated honeycomb lattice

Mengsu Chen, Hoi-Yin Hui, Sumanta Tewari, and V. W. Scarola

Phys. Rev. B 97, 035114 (2018) - Published 9 January, 2018

The quantum anomalous Hall effect can, in principle, be driven entirely by interparticle interactions into a new phase of matter called the topological Mott insulator. Calculations to date have shown that this effect can arise in simple models only when the interaction strength between particles is not spatially decaying. Such interactions are typically unphysical. Here, the authors study particles in a decorated honeycomb lattice to find that spatially decaying interactions do in fact lead to a topological Mott insulator with a quantum anomalous Hall effect. The results set the stage for realizing interaction-driven topological effects in quantum matter.

Semiclassical dynamics of spin density waves

Gia-Wei Chern, Kipton Barros, Zhentao Wang, Hidemaro Suwa, and Cristian D. Batista

Phys. Rev. B 97, 035120 (2018) - Published 10 January, 2018

Spin density waves (SDW) provide a canonical example of quantum states with spontaneously broken symmetries. The dynamics of SDWs in Mott insulators is described by the well-known Holstein-Primakoff Hamiltonian, which is equivalent to the semiclassical Landau-Lifshitz equation. Based on a real-space formulation of the time-dependent Hartree-Fock method, the authors demonstrate how to extend the semiclassical dynamics description to the case of itinerant magnets or Mott systems with a moderate charge gap. They further show that, within the adiabatic approximation, the SDW dynamics is governed by a generalized quantum Landau-Lifshitz equation.

Gapped electronic structure of epitaxial stanene on InSb(111)

Cai-Zhi Xu, Yang-Hao Chan, Peng Chen, Xiaoxiong Wang, David Flötotto, Joseph Andrew Hlevyack, Guang Bian, Sung-Kwan Mo, Mei-Yin Chou, and Tai-Chang Chiang

Phys. Rev. B 97, 035122 (2018) - Published 11 January, 2018

Stanene, a single tin atomic layer akin to graphene, is a quantum spin Hall insulator. Its spin-polarized edge states within the gap would be well suited for spintronic applications, but this attractive property has not been realized because the substrate for supporting stanene in prior experiments leads to a metallic contact that fills the band gap and shorts out the quantum spin Hall channels. By judiciously selecting InSb(111) as the substrate, the resulting system shows a large gap of 0.44 eV well suited for room-temperature device operations. Stanene on InSb(111) is thus a strong contender for next-generation spintronic technology.

Trial wave functions for a composite Fermi liquid on a torus

M. Fremling, N. Moran, J. K. Slingerland, and S. H. Simon

Phys. Rev. B 97, 035149 (2018) - Published 22 January, 2018

Fractional quantum Hall effect fluids remain the prototype systems with topological order and strong interactions. They are usually well described as integer quantum Hall states of composite fermions, made of electrons and magnetic flux quanta. The authors investigate a two-dimensional electron gas in a magnetic field at half filling. This system should be described by a Fermi liquid of composite fermions in zero field and is uniquely suited to study the nature of composite fermions as, for instance, to determine if they are Dirac fermions. The composite Fermi liquid is indeed found to give an excellent approximation of the low-energy physics. It also shows unexpected features in the Berry curvature of the composite fermions.

Influence of the effective layer thickness on the ground-state and excitonic properties of transition-metal dichalcogenide systems

L. Meckbach, T. Stroucken, and S. W. Koch

Phys. Rev. B 97, 035425 (2018) - Published 18 January, 2018

The effective dimensionality of a semiconductor strongly influences its excitonic properties. Due to their unit-cell thickness, monolayer materials are the almost perfect realization of a two-dimensional system. However, the unit-cell dimensions can easily exceed the nominal value of the exciton Bohr radius. Employing a fully microscopic theory based on the equation-of-motion approach, it is shown that the effective finite-layer thickness in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) is responsible for the observed nonhydrogenic exciton series, not only in monolayers, but also in few-layer and bulk systems. The theoretical results identify the resonances in bulk TMDCs as due to quasi-two-dimensional intra- and interlayer excitons.

Universal interaction-driven gap in metallic carbon nanotubes

Mitchell J. Senger, Daniel R. McCulley, Neda Lotfizadeh, Vikram V. Deshpande, and Ethan D. Minot

Phys. Rev. B 97, 035445 (2018) - Published 31 January, 2018

Clean experimental testing grounds for strongly interacting electrons confined to one dimension are hard to find. Thus, suspended carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a unique model system. Previous work showed that electron transport in suspended metallic CNTs can be frozen by strong electron-electron interactions. However, a detailed understanding of this exotic insulating phase has remained elusive. Here, the authors characterize the energy gap associated with the insulating phase in nominally metallic CNTs, and compare the gap to precise measurements of CNT diameter and chirality.
