Optical gap and optically active intragap defects in cubic BN

Anna Tararan, Stefano di Sabatino, Matteo Gatti, Takashi Taniguchi, Kenji Watanabe, Lucia Reining, Luiz H. G. Tizei, Mathieu Kociak, and Alberto Zobelli

Phys. Rev. B 98, 094106 (2018) - Published 17 September, 2018

Studies on the optical properties of cubic BN are generally hindered by the very high density of crystal defects. Thus, the precise value of its optical gap is still debated, with large discrepancies between reported theoretical and experimental estimated values. Here, the authors address open questions of the cubic BN optics by employing high spatially resolved spectroscopy techniques to the highest-quality samples available and combining these observations with state-of-the-art quasiparticle calculations.

Dynamical response and dimensional crossover for spatially anisotropic antiferromagnets

Maxime Dupont, Sylvain Capponi, Nicolas Laflorencie, and Edmond Orignac

Phys. Rev. B 98, 094403 (2018) - Published 5 September, 2018

At low temperature, critical one-dimensional (1D) quantum systems, such as spin chains, are theoretically described by the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) theory. In realistic quasi-1D materials, however, residual couplings are always present, and these systems eventually escape the theoretical 1D world to get eventually ordered at lower temperature. In order to define a genuine “1D temperature window” in quasi-1D systems for dynamical quantities such as the NMR relaxation rate or the dynamical structure factor that is probed by inelastic neutron scattering, the authors present a comprehensive theoretical study based on analytical as well as numerical approaches. They are able to describe the full temperature crossover for weakly coupled chains and, in particular, the universal 1D window where the TLL picture can be experimentally observed.

Phys. Rev. B 98, 094425 (2018) - Published 26 September, 2018

The quantum spin liquid (QSL) – a phase of matter with no ordered ground state – is of fundamental interest as excitations in this phase may break the molds of bosons and fermions and develop more complicated properties. The honeycomb magnet α-RuCl3 has emerged as a candidate for realization of a QSL. Although it orders at low temperature, an in-plane magnetic field of around 7 Tesla destroys the order; the nature of this transition is intensely studied. Here, the authors use polarized time-domain terahertz spectroscopy to study the spectrum of magnetic excitations in α-RuCl3 in an applied field. Motivated by the unusual evolution of the spectra, the authors develop a linear spin wave theory to describe the data with strikingly good agreement. These results provide clarity for ongoing work on this compound, and inform future studies aiming to detect field-induced QSL states.

The double perovskites form a class of materials with diverse tunable electronic and magnetic ground states and properties and promise to be excellent functional materials for the near future. Here, high-resolution neutron spectroscopic studies reveal their magnetic ground states and their dynamical response, which seem to be typical of their complex ground states. The studied double perovskite materials Sr2xLaxFeCoO6 (x=0, 1, 2), of which the first (Sr2FeCoO6 with x = 0) shows a canonical spin-glass ground state, the second (SrLaFeCoO6 with x = 1) shows a so-called magnetic glass state, and the third (La2FeCoO6 with x = 2) has a magnetically ordered ground state. All these magnetic properties can be tuned and engineered by varying the proportion of Sr and La in these materials.

Ingredients for the electronic nematic phase in FeSe revealed by its anisotropic optical response

M. Chinotti, A. Pal, L. Degiorgi, A. E. Böhmer, and P. C. Canfield

Phys. Rev. B 98, 094506 (2018) - Published 6 September, 2018

The authors have found evidence from one single experiment of all relevant ingredients determining the anisotropy in the charge dynamics as well as in the dc transport properties of FeSe, a prominent iron-based superconductor. Scattering by spin fluctuations turns out to be the most decisive effect with respect to the anisotropic nematic properties. FeSe has lately acquired a central place among superconductors, since it harbors a key nematic phase below 90 K. This work describes novel results from reflectivity measurements, from the far-infrared up to the ultraviolet, that probe the optical response as a function of the tunable symmetry-breaking field (stress). The data suggest that the charge scattering rather than the Fermi surface parameters seems to be most influential with respect to nematicity. These findings may support theoretical proposals advocating a close connection between spin fluctuations, nematicity, and superconductivity.

Synthesizing Coulombic superconductivity in van der Waals bilayers

Valla Fatemi and Jonathan Ruhman

Phys. Rev. B 98, 094517 (2018) - Published 19 September, 2018

The emerging field of van der Waals heterostructures promises the engineering of quantum ground states by combining materials with different properties. A special point of interest is the synthesis of new superconductors. Here, the authors explore the idea of combining very fast electrons with very slow ones, proposing a bilayer heterostructure consisting of monolayer graphene (fast) on top of a monolayer semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenide WSe2 (slow). This interesting two liquid model generates a slow plasmonic mode that acts somewhat like phonons in a crystal, which can mediate an attractive interaction to make graphene superconducting. This mechanism for superconductivity is found to be uniquely optimized in van der Waals heterostructures, and the transition temperature is estimated to be in the range of 0.1 Kelvin. If such a superconductor were realized in an experiment, it would be a special example in which attraction between electrons is clearly mediated by electrons.

Micron-scale measurements of low anisotropic strain response of local Tc in Sr2RuO4

Christopher A. Watson, Alexandra S. Gibbs, Andrew P. Mackenzie, Clifford W. Hicks, and Kathryn A. Moler

Phys. Rev. B 98, 094521 (2018) - Published 26 September, 2018

Topological superconductivity is of both fundamental and technological interest as a novel state of matter with potential applications in quantum information processing. Among the most promising materials for exhibiting intrinsic topological superconductivity is Sr2RuO4, which has shown evidence of triplet pairing and time-reversal symmetry breaking. Here, the authors use a scanning SQUID microscope to measure the local change in the critical temperature under application of anisotropic strain to test for a linear cusp at small strains, a key prediction of existing models for the superconducting state. The reported absence of such a cusp constrains future descriptions of this enigmatic material.

These findings may support theoretical proposals advocating a close connection between spin fluctuations, nematicity, and superconductivity.

The emerging field of van der Waals heterostructures promises the engineering of quantum ground states by combining materials with different properties. A special point of interest is the synthesis of new superconductors. Here, the authors explore the idea of combining very fast electrons with very slow ones, proposing a bilayer heterostructure consisting of monolayer graphene (fast) on top of a monolayer semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenide WSe2 (slow). This interesting two liquid model generates a slow plasmonic mode that acts somewhat like phonons in a crystal, which can mediate an attractive interaction to make graphene superconducting. This mechanism for superconductivity is found to be uniquely optimized in van der Waals heterostructures, and the transition temperature is estimated to be in the range of 0.1 Kelvin. If such a superconductor were realized in an experiment, it would be a special example in which attraction between electrons is clearly mediated by electrons.

Topological superconductivity is of both fundamental and technological interest as a novel state of matter with potential applications in quantum information processing. Among the most promising materials for exhibiting intrinsic topological superconductivity is Sr2RuO4, which has shown evidence of triplet pairing and time-reversal symmetry breaking. Here, the authors use a scanning SQUID microscope to measure the local change in the critical temperature under application of anisotropic strain to test for a linear cusp at small strains, a key prediction of existing models for the superconducting state. The reported absence of such a cusp constrains future descriptions of this enigmatic material.
