Irreversible dynamics in quantum many-body systems

Markus Schmitt and Stefan Kehrein

Phys. Rev. B 98, 180301(R) (2018) - Published 9 November, 2018

The concept of irreversibility is necessary to justify the statistical description of many-body systems. Here, the authors study the dynamics of observable echoes in quantum many-body systems occurring when the time-evolution is effectively inverted. For nonintegrable systems they find that small imperfections in the time-reversal procedure that alter the state of the system lead to exponentially decaying echoes. As the corresponding decay rate is largely independent of the strength of the perturbation, an intrinsic sensitivity to the perturbation is revealed. This implies irreversibility of the dynamics for all practical purposes, similar to the situation in chaotic classical systems.

Emergent c-axis magnetic helix in manganite-nickelate superlattices

G. Fabbris, N. Jaouen, D. Meyers, J. Feng, J. D. Hoffman, R. Sutarto, S. G. Chiuzbăian, A. Bhattacharya, and M. P. M. Dean

Phys. Rev. B 98, 180401(R) (2018) - Published 2 November, 2018

Interfacial effects in transition metal oxide heterostructures can drive novel magnetism that is not observed in their bulk constituents. Here, the authors use resonant soft x-ray techniques to demonstrate that a helical magnetic structure occurs in the nickelate layers of the (LaNiO3)3/(La2/3Sr1/3MnO3)9 heterostructure. By measuring the Ni 3d electronic configuration, they suggest that the observed helical magnetism is derived from a spin density wave instability in the nickelate layer. This work thus provides important hints into how to drive new forms of magnetism in transition metal oxide heterostructure.

Quantized excitation spectra by magnon confinement in quasi-one-dimensional S=1 spin systems

Takafumi Suzuki and Sei-ichiro Suga

Phys. Rev. B 98, 180406(R) (2018) - Published 21 November, 2018

Spinon confinement is key to the understanding of quantized excitation spectra in quasi-one-dimensional S = ½ spin systems. The authors investigate the quantization of the excitation continuum in quasi-one-dimensional S=1 antiferromagnetic spin systems with single-ion anisotropy D. When D < 0, the magnon continuum is quantized by the interchain interactions. This is due to magnon confinement. The present study suggests the possibility for observation of quantized spectra in many S=1 antiferromagnetic spin-chain compounds.

Alternative to the topological interpretation of the transverse resistivity anomalies in SrRuO3

Daisuke Kan, Takahiro Moriyama, Kento Kobayashi, and Yuichi Shimakawa

Phys. Rev. B 98, 180408(R) (2018) - Published 26 November, 2018

Here, the authors clarify the physical origin of anomalies in transverse resistivity often observed in exotic materials, such as SrRuO3, where the Berry curvature is manifested in transport properties. Their thorough magnetotransport investigations and model formulations reveal that the previously attributed mechanism for the anomalies – the topological Hall effect – is not the only interpretation. They show that inhomogeneous magnetoelectric properties in the oxide, namely the coexistence of anomalous Hall effects having different polarities, are responsible for the emergence of the transport anomalies.

Scaling of the superconducting gap with orbital character in FeSe

Luke C. Rhodes, Matthew D. Watson, Amir A. Haghighirad, Daniil V. Evtushinsky, Matthias Eschrig, and Timur K. Kim

Phys. Rev. B 98, 180503(R) (2018) - Published 14 November, 2018

Spin fluctuations are often considered to be an important ingredient for superconductivity in the iron-based superconductors. Here, the authors use angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to study both the momentum dependence of the superconducting gap of FeSe and the orbital content of the bands. The experimental observation of a direct scaling between a particular orbital character and gap magnitude, paired with theoretical calculations, provides strong evidence in favor of spin fluctuation mediated superconductivity in FeSe.

High-pressure spectroscopic investigation of multiferroic Ni3TeO6

Kenneth R. O'Neal, Amanda J. Clune, Nathan C. Harms, Sang-Wook Cheong, Junjie Yang, Zhenxian Liu, Turan Birol, and Janice L. Musfeldt

Phys. Rev. B 98, 184101 (2018) - Published 1 November, 2018

Here, a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the properties of Ni3TeO6 under pressure reveals reduced compressibility near 4 GPa due to the unique behavior of one bond angle. This trend arises from a nearby cavity in the crystal structure that enhances tunability in this and other corrundumlike materials. Analysis of superexchange angles reveals enhanced antiferromagnetic interactions, in line with an increase in TN observed in magnetization. Magnetoelectric coupling likely enhances polarization under pressure. This work suggests that incorporating empty cavities into crystal structures provides a new route for control of multiferroic properties.

Phys. Rev. B 98, 184418 (2018) - Published 16 November, 2018

Spin-charge interconversion (SCI) phenomena are now at the core of the field of spin-orbitronics. They allow to generate or detect spin currents in nonmagnetic materials and to manipulate the magnetization of nanomagnets by spin-orbit torque. Here, the authors show that spin-charge interconversion can be tuned by quantum size effects in ultrathin bismuth films. Epitaxially grown on germanium, bismuth first forms nanocrystals with a size less than the electron Fermi wavelength. Quantum confinement in these nanocrystals leads to high bulk resistance which can be interpreted as a semimetal-to-semiconductor transition. They also exhibit metallic surface states with a characteristic helical spin texture at the Fermi contour as shown by spin-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Hence, when generating a spin current in germanium, it is converted into a charge current uniquely in the bottom surface states of bismuth nanocrystals. When increasing the amount of deposited bismuth, nanocrystals grow and begin to form a continuous semimetallic film suppressing quantum confinement. The spin-to-charge conversions into the top and bottom surfaces cancel each other. Thus, quantum confinement can turn on and off SCI in ultrathin bismuth films.

Evolution of helimagnetic correlations in Mn1xFexSi with doping: A small-angle neutron scattering study

L. J. Bannenberg, R. M. Dalgliesh, T. Wolf, F. Weber, and C. Pappas

Phys. Rev. B 98, 184431 (2018) - Published 28 November, 2018

Tuning the interactions in magnetic materials by pressure or chemical substitution is a much visited route to discover new and exotic phases of condensed matter. A well known example is doping the archetype chiral magnet MnSi with Fe. Here, the authors use small-angle neutron scattering to track the evolution of the helimagnetic order in Mn1xFexSi with Fe doping. They discover that the long-range helimagnetic order found in MnSi is suppressed already at x* 0.11, well before the critical concentration of x 0.17. Finite isotropic helimagnetic correlations persist for x > x* that can only be partly aligned by magnetic fields through a complex magnetization process.

Here, the authors show that spin-charge interconversion can be tuned by quantum size effects in ultrathin bismuth films. Epitaxially grown on germanium, bismuth first forms nanocrystals with a size less than the electron Fermi wavelength. Quantum confinement in these nanocrystals leads to high bulk resistance which can be interpreted as a semimetal-to-semiconductor transition. They also exhibit metallic surface states with a characteristic helical spin texture at the Fermi contour as shown by spin-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Hence, when generating a spin current in germanium, it is converted into a charge current uniquely in the bottom surface states of bismuth nanocrystals. When increasing the amount of deposited bismuth, nanocrystals grow and begin to form a continuous semimetallic film suppressing quantum confinement. The spin-to-charge conversions into the top and bottom surfaces cancel each other. Thus, quantum confinement can turn on and off SCI in ultrathin bismuth films.

Tuning the interactions in magnetic materials by pressure or chemical substitution is a much visited route to discover new and exotic phases of condensed matter. A well known example is doping the archetype chiral magnet MnSi with Fe. Here, the authors use small-angle neutron scattering to track the evolution of the helimagnetic order in Mn1xFexSi with Fe doping. They discover that the long-range helimagnetic order found in MnSi is suppressed already at x* 0.11, well before the critical concentration of x 0.17. Finite isotropic helimagnetic correlations persist for x > x* that can only be partly aligned by magnetic fields through a complex magnetization process.
