Topological magnons in Kitaev magnets at high fields

P. A. McClarty, X.-Y. Dong, M. Gohlke, J. G. Rau, F. Pollmann, R. Moessner, and K. Penc

Phys. Rev. B 98, 060404(R) (2018) - Published 7 August, 2018

Spin-orbit coupled honeycomb lattice magnets offer a route to novel states of matter through the presence of significant Kitaev exchange coupling. Here, the authors explored the spin-polarized paramagnetic regime in a very general model for such magnets, showing that the magnon band topology is nontrivial throughout the phase. This finding implies the presence a thermal Hall effect and, neglecting magnon interactions, topologically protected chiral magnon edge states. They further show that the edge states are robust to the presence of interactions, decisively showing that such exotic excitations are experimentally robust quasiparticles.

Topological excitations in the ferromagnetic Kitaev-Heisenberg model

Darshan G. Joshi

Phys. Rev. B 98, 060405(R) (2018) - Published 7 August, 2018

Topological aspects, widely discussed in relation to fermionic systems, need not be restricted to the ground state of electrons. The excitation spectrum in certain frustrated quantum magnets could be topological in nature. The Kitaev-Heisenberg model is a cornerstone in the study of quantum spin-liquid candidate materials such as Na2IrO3 and RuCl3. Here, the author presents the interesting and surprising result that the quasiparticles in the ferromagnetic Kitaev-Heisenberg model have a nontrivial Berry curvature leading to a nonzero Chern-number topological invariant. Consequently, there are chiral edge excitations along the zigzag edge, which can be detected in scattering and in thermal- or spin-transport experiments.

Optically excited spin pumping mediating collective magnetization dynamics in a spin valve structure

A. P. Danilov, A. V. Scherbakov, B. A. Glavin, T. L. Linnik, A. M. Kalashnikova, L. A. Shelukhin, D. P. Pattnaik, A. W. Rushforth, C. J. Love, S. A. Cavill, D. R. Yakovlev, and M. Bayer

Phys. Rev. B 98, 060406(R) (2018) - Published 13 August, 2018

An alternative method for spin pumping – injection of a pure spin current into a nonmagnetic material by the precessing magnetization in an adjacent ferromagnet – is demonstrated without the need to use microwaves. Femtosecond laser pulses trigger the magnetization precession in adjacent (Fe,Ga) layers separated by a 5-nm Cu spacer. The spin currents emerging from the two layers couple their magnetization, leading to superposition of the two collective modes, observed in time-resolved Kerr rotation measurements. For resonant precession frequencies in the (Fe,Ga) layers, the authors achieve strongly split decay rates of the collective modes, indicating a purely dissipative coupling.

Probing short-range magnetic order in a geometrically frustrated magnet by means of the spin Seebeck effect

Changjiang Liu, Stephen M. Wu, John E. Pearson, J. Samuel Jiang, N. d'Ambrumenil, and Anand Bhattacharya

Phys. Rev. B 98, 060415(R) (2018) - Published 28 August, 2018

The spin Seebeck effect (SSE) can be used for generating pure spin currents in insulating magnetic materials using thermal gradients. Here, the authors exploit the sensitivity of SSE to local magnetic correlations to probe magnetic short-range order (SRO) in a geometrically frustrated paramagnet Gd3Ga5O12 (GGG). The authors find that the magnetic SRO in GGG exists at temperatures far above where the corresponding antiferromagnetic long-range order can be detected using neutron scattering. Many fundamentally interesting states such as quantum spin liquids and spin ice arise in geometrically frustrated magnets. However, characterizing magnetic order within these materials in the absence of long-range order has been technically challenging, with insights derived mostly from neutron scattering measurements. This work suggests that the SSE may be an effective probe of magnetic SRO in geometrically frustrated systems, complementary to neutron and x-ray scattering.

Trends in pressure-induced layer-selective half-collapsed tetragonal phases in the iron-based superconductor family AeAFe4As4

Vladislav Borisov, Paul C. Canfield, and Roser Valentí

Phys. Rev. B 98, 064104 (2018) - Published 24 August, 2018

A structural collapse transition induced by pressure or strain is ubiquitous among the ThCr2Si2-type Fe-based pnictides and dramatically affects their magnetic, superconducting, and elastic properties. The recently discovered CaKFe4As4, belonging to the 1144-type compounds, shows two separate half-collapsed tetragonal (hcT) transitions where As-As bonds form across different layers at distinct critical pressures. The present work uses state-of-the-art first-principles simulations to predict the hcT transitions and reveal general trends for all known 1144 pnictides, including the ferromagnetic superconductors EuRbFe4As4 and EuCsFe4As4. In the Eu-based systems, magnetism of the localized 4f electrons appears to be stable across both hcT transitions, while the magnetic pattern may be affected by pressure.

Berry electrodynamics: Anomalous drift and pumping from a time-dependent Berry connection

Swati Chaudhary, Manuel Endres, and Gil Refael

Phys. Rev. B 98, 064310 (2018) - Published 31 August, 2018

The Berry connection and curvature encode the geometry of a particle’s wave functions, and they can modify the motion of particles in a nontrivial manner. They are also dual to the vector potential and magnetic field. A little-explored avenue is what happens when the Berry connection changes with time. This must have an effect on the anomalous velocity of particles, just as the time dependence of the vector potential produces an electric field in standard electrodynamics. In this work, the authors outline how these ‘Berry-electrodynamics’ effects can be measured, how they relate to shift currents, and how both could be put together to produce a pumping cycle in honeycomb lattices.

Observation of a pressure-induced transition from interlayer ferromagnetism to intralayer antiferromagnetism in Sr4Ru3O10

H. Zheng, W. H. Song, J. Terzic, H. D. Zhao, Y. Zhang, Y. F. Ni, L. E. DeLong, P. Schlottmann, and G. Cao

Phys. Rev. B 98, 064418 (2018) - Published 21 August, 2018

Triple-layered Sr4Ru3O10 presents a rare case of coexistence of interlayer (c-axis) ferromagnetism and intralayer (basal-plane) metamagnetism at ambient pressure. This study reveals the pressure-induced intralayer itinerant antiferromagnetism arising from the interlayer ferromagnetism. The application of modest hydrostatic pressure generates anisotropy that may cause flattening and tilting of RuO6 octahedra. These lattice distortions weaken the c-axis ferromagnetism as well as the basal-plane metamagnetism, while inducing a basal-plane, itinerant antiferromagnetic state that is remarkably uncommon. The unusually large magnetoelastic coupling inherent in this ruthenate makes it an ideal model system for studies of itinerant magnetism.

Effect of boundary-induced chirality on magnetic textures in thin films

Phys. Rev. B 98, 064429 (2018) - Published 31 August, 2018

In the quest for miniaturizing magnetic devices, the effects of broken symmetries as well as boundaries and surfaces become increasingly important. In magnets with broken inversion symmetry, the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) stabilizes unique spin textures such as chiral domain walls and skyrmions. Here, the authors thoroughly examine the emergent three-dimensional configurations in a thin chiral magnetic film in the presence of this boundary-induced DMI. In the case of skyrmions, the three-dimensional deformation leads to a depth-dependent radius with an overall increased skyrmion size, which suggests that the boundary-induced DMI contributes to the skyrmion stability.

Triple-layered Sr4Ru3O10 presents a rare case of coexistence of interlayer (c-axis) ferromagnetism and intralayer (basal-plane) metamagnetism at ambient pressure. This study reveals the pressure-induced intralayer itinerant antiferromagnetism arising from the interlayer ferromagnetism. The application of modest hydrostatic pressure generates anisotropy that may cause flattening and tilting of RuO6 octahedra. These lattice distortions weaken the c-axis ferromagnetism as well as the basal-plane metamagnetism, while inducing a basal-plane, itinerant antiferromagnetic state that is remarkably uncommon. The unusually large magnetoelastic coupling inherent in this ruthenate makes it an ideal model system for studies of itinerant magnetism.

In the quest for miniaturizing magnetic devices, the effects of broken symmetries as well as boundaries and surfaces become increasingly important. In magnets with broken inversion symmetry, the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) stabilizes unique spin textures such as chiral domain walls and skyrmions. Here, the authors thoroughly examine the emergent three-dimensional configurations in a thin chiral magnetic film in the presence of this boundary-induced DMI. In the case of skyrmions, the three-dimensional deformation leads to a depth-dependent radius with an overall increased skyrmion size, which suggests that the boundary-induced DMI contributes to the skyrmion stability.
