Knotted non-Hermitian metals

Johan Carlström, Marcus Stålhammar, Jan Carl Budich, and Emil J. Bergholtz

Phys. Rev. B 99, 161115(R) (2019) - Published 24 April, 2019

Topology, the theory of global properties invariant under continuous deformation, has proven essential for understanding the variety of forms of matter occurring in nature. Here, two paradigmatic concepts of topology in physics, namely, knots and topological properties of energy bands, are brought together to introduce a form of topological matter, best labeled as knotted non-Hermitian metals. Remarkably, non-Hermitian terms accounting for the dissipative coupling of the system to its environment are crucial for the generic stability of these exotic systems.

Probing transport in quantum many-fermion simulations via quantum loop topography

Yi Zhang, Carsten Bauer, Peter Broecker, Simon Trebst, and Eun-Ah Kim

Phys. Rev. B 99, 161120(R) (2019) - Published 30 April, 2019

Quantum many-fermion systems give rise to diverse states of matter that often reveal themselves in distinctive transport properties. Here, the authors demonstrate that quantum loop topography can be used to probe efficiently and directly challenging transport properties by machine learning imaginary-time current-current correlations in quantum Monte Carlo simulations. Applications on the emergence of superconducting fluctuations in the negative-U Hubbard model and a spin-fermion model for a metallic quantum critical point detect changes in transport in good agreement with their established phase diagrams.

Phys. Rev. B 99, 161203(R) (2019) - Published 19 April, 2019

Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond with coherent optical transitions are a promising candidate for quantum science and technology protocols. A widely used strategy for their creation is nitrogen-ion implantation and high-temperature annealing. The data presented in this work show that while low-strain, narrow-optical-linewidth NV centers are formed from naturally occurring 14N atoms, NV centers formed from the implanted 15N atoms show broadened optical transitions and experience higher strain. These results have immediate implications for the positioning accuracy of current NV center creation protocols.

Radiofrequency driving of coherent electron spin dynamics in n-GaAs detected by Faraday rotation

V. V. Belykh, D. R. Yakovlev, and M. Bayer

Phys. Rev. B 99, 161205(R) (2019) - Published 24 April, 2019

When a magnetic field is applied to an ensemble of electron spins, they all precess with the Larmor frequency. This precession is hard to detect due to the random relative spin phases. Here, the authors synchronize the ensemble spin precession by applying a radiofrequency field, followed by precession dephasing. The spin polarization is measured by the Faraday rotation of a laser pulse polarization. The authors thereby determine the homogeneous spin coherence time T2, which is almost impossible to access in standard all-optical pump-probe experiments.

Two- and three-electron bubbles in AlxGa1xAs/Al0.24Ga0.76As quantum wells

X. Fu, Q. Shi, M. A. Zudov, G. C. Gardner, J. D. Watson, and M. J. Manfra

Phys. Rev. B 99, 161402(R) (2019) - Published 3 April, 2019

A bubble phase containing several electrons per unit cell was predicted by Koulakov, Fogler, and Shklovskii in 1996 as a generalization of the Wigner crystal. While the experimental evidence of such phases with M=2 electrons per bubble has emerged shortly after the prediction, larger bubbles have not been identified till now. Here, the authors report on bubbles with M=2 and M=3 electrons in the third excited Landau level, revealed with the help of intentionally added alloy disorder.

Nanospot angle-resolved photoemission study of Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene on hexagonal boron nitride: Band structure and local variation of lattice alignment

Frédéric Joucken, Eberth A. Quezada-López, Jose Avila, Chaoyu Chen, John L. Davenport, Hechin Chen, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi, Maria Carmen Asensio, and Jairo Velasco, Jr.

Phys. Rev. B 99, 161406(R) (2019) - Published 23 April, 2019

Heterostructures composed of two-dimensional (2D) materials placed on insulating substrates are of great interest because they exhibit tunable electronic and optical properties that enable novel optoelectronic devices. Directly accessing the electronic band structure of such heterostructures is challenging because of their micron-scale size. The recent development of nanospot angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (nanoARPES) now provides direct access to the band structure with high resolution in space, energy, and momentum. To this end, the authors use nanoARPES to reveal the electronic structure of Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene (BLG) supported by hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). They extract tight-binding band parameters for BLG on this substrate for the first time, thus providing important information for theoretical modeling. With the help of STM, they also find spatial inhomogeneity in the lattice alignment between the supporting hBN and the top-lying BLG. Considering the dramatic influence that the alignment angle has on the properties of 2D material heterostructures, this surprisingly large inhomogeneity (up to 3) must be considered for interpreting previous and future spatially averaged experiments performed on these heterostructures.

Nanoscale probing of resonant photonic modes in dielectric nanoparticles with focused electron beams

Qianlang Liu, Amber M. Nelson-Quillin, David J. Masiello, and Peter A. Crozier

Phys. Rev. B 99, 165102 (2019) - Published 3 April, 2019

Engineering dielectric nanoparticles to select and manipulate light at specific resonance energies has great potential in fields such as solar energy conversion and optical communication. To accomplish this challenging task, it is necessary to develop tools to probe the optical resonance behavior of nanostructure locally. This work shows that focused electron beams and monochromated electron energy-loss spectroscopy provide a unique way for studying the optical resonance properties of dielectric structures with nanometer-scale spatial resolution. Resonant optical-frequency geometric modes excited by fast electrons show up as a series of pronounced peaks within the band gap of the spectra, where absorption is negligible.

Localized surfaces of three-dimensional topological insulators

Yang-Zhi Chou, Rahul M. Nandkishore, and Leo Radzihovsky

Phys. Rev. B 99, 165108 (2019) - Published 8 April, 2019

The authors study the possibilities of three-dimensional topological insulator surfaces of class CII with both disorder and interaction. In the presence of the statistically symmetric disorder, the CII surfaces can realize a chiral domain-wall network, a helical domain-wall network, or a fully gapped state. The authors demonstrate that repulsive interactions can drive the helical domain-wall network surface to a gapless localized insulator. Such a localized phase contains two distinct regimes, a “clogged” regime wherein the network localization is induced by its junctions between metallic helical domain-walls, and a “fully localized” regime of localized domain walls.

Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering study of bond order and spin excitations in nickelate thin-film structures

K. Fürsich, Y. Lu, D. Betto, M. Bluschke, J. Porras, E. Schierle, R. Ortiz, H. Suzuki, G. Cristiani, G. Logvenov, N. B. Brookes, M. W. Haverkort, M. Le Tacon, E. Benckiser, M. Minola, and B. Keimer

Phys. Rev. B 99, 165124 (2019) - Published 16 April, 2019

The rare-earth nickelates (RNiO3) have been subject to intense investigation, mostly because of their rich phase diagrams, comprising a sharp temperature-driven metal-to-insulator transition and an unusual antiferromagnetic ground state. Here, the authors use high-resolution resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) at the Ni L3 edge to study simultaneously the bond and magnetic orders controlled via heterostructuring. The results show that RIXS gives valuable insights into the interplay of different collective ordering phenomena in a prototypical 3d transition-metal oxide

Critical opalescence across the doping-driven Mott transition in optical lattices of ultracold atoms

C. Walsh, P. Sémon, G. Sordi, and A.-M. S. Tremblay

Phys. Rev. B 99, 165151 (2019) - Published 30 April, 2019

The authors show that critical opalescence - enhanced density fluctuations at all length scales - occurs in quantum matter, specifically in a doped Mott-insulating system that can be realized with ultracold atoms in optical lattices. These findings provide a theoretical framework and new predictions for ultracold-atom experiments. Looking for critical opalescence across the doping-driven Mott transition in ultracold systems may give insights on the origin of the pseudogap in cuprate high-temperature superconductors.

RKKY interaction on the surface of three-dimensional Dirac semimetals

V. Kaladzhyan, A. A. Zyuzin, and P. Simon

Phys. Rev. B 99, 165302 (2019) - Published 3 April, 2019

In three-dimensional Dirac semimetals the properties of bulk and surface electrons are qualitatively different. While the former have a three-dimensional pseudorelativistic spectral behavior, the latter disperse effectively like one-dimensional quasiparticles. Such a salient difference leads to qualitatively distinct properties of the RKKY exchange interaction between localized spins introduced in the bulk versus those introduced on the surface. Here, the authors demonstrate that at large distances the contribution of the Fermi-arc surface states dominates the exchange interaction and may lead to quasi-one-dimensional magnetic stripes.

Strong coupling of a quantum dot molecule to a photonic crystal cavity

Patrick M. Vora, Allan S. Bracker, Samuel G. Carter, Mijin Kim, Chul Soo Kim, and Daniel Gammon

Phys. Rev. B 99, 165420 (2019) - Published 15 April, 2019

Dynamically tunable light-matter interfaces are important for the success of emerging quantum technologies. Quantum dots embedded in photonic crystal membranes provide an attractive platform as the cavities have high quality factors, low mode volumes, and can be doped to provide limited voltage tuning of the exciton states. Here, the authors demonstrate that the versatility and applications of this architecture can be extended by replacing the quantum dot with a quantum dot molecule. Two tunnel-coupled quantum dots permit molecular exciton states that have voltage-tunable energies and dipole moments. Advantage is taken of the tunable dipole moments of mixed exciton states to demonstrate in situ tuning of the vacuum Rabi splitting as well as new polariton states with hybrid spin character.

Nonlocal effects in singular plasmonic metasurfaces

Fan Yang, Yao-Ting Wang, Paloma A. Huidobro, and John B. Pendry

Phys. Rev. B 99, 165423 (2019) - Published 18 April, 2019

Advances in nanofabrication have recently made possible plasmonic nanostructures with features on very short length scales, enabling confinement of electromagnetic fields even to subnanometric scales. On this atomic scale, a classical local description of the dielectric function is no longer valid and effects such as electron spill-out at metal surfaces become relevant. Here, the authors take this nonlocal effect into account for singular plasmic metasurfaces with sharp features, such as narrow gaps and sharp edges. Nonlocal effects are prominent in these geometric singularities and lead to a discretization of the continuous spectrum. On the surface, the oscillation of the surface plasmon polaritons propagating toward the singularity is weakened, and this microscopic effect significantly affects the far-field spectrum.

The rare-earth nickelates (RNiO3) have been subject to intense investigation, mostly because of their rich phase diagrams, comprising a sharp temperature-driven metal-to-insulator transition and an unusual antiferromagnetic ground state. Here, the authors use high-resolution resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) at the Ni L3 edge to study simultaneously the bond and magnetic orders controlled via heterostructuring. The results show that RIXS gives valuable insights into the interplay of different collective ordering phenomena in a prototypical 3d transition-metal oxide

Phys. Rev. B 99, 165151 (2019) - Published 30 April, 2019

The authors show that critical opalescence - enhanced density fluctuations at all length scales - occurs in quantum matter, specifically in a doped Mott-insulating system that can be realized with ultracold atoms in optical lattices. These findings provide a theoretical framework and new predictions for ultracold-atom experiments. Looking for critical opalescence across the doping-driven Mott transition in ultracold systems may give insights on the origin of the pseudogap in cuprate high-temperature superconductors.

RKKY interaction on the surface of three-dimensional Dirac semimetals

Phys. Rev. B 99, 165302 (2019) - Published 3 April, 2019

In three-dimensional Dirac semimetals the properties of bulk and surface electrons are qualitatively different. While the former have a three-dimensional pseudorelativistic spectral behavior, the latter disperse effectively like one-dimensional quasiparticles. Such a salient difference leads to qualitatively distinct properties of the RKKY exchange interaction between localized spins introduced in the bulk versus those introduced on the surface. Here, the authors demonstrate that at large distances the contribution of the Fermi-arc surface states dominates the exchange interaction and may lead to quasi-one-dimensional magnetic stripes.

Dynamically tunable light-matter interfaces are important for the success of emerging quantum technologies. Quantum dots embedded in photonic crystal membranes provide an attractive platform as the cavities have high quality factors, low mode volumes, and can be doped to provide limited voltage tuning of the exciton states. Here, the authors demonstrate that the versatility and applications of this architecture can be extended by replacing the quantum dot with a quantum dot molecule. Two tunnel-coupled quantum dots permit molecular exciton states that have voltage-tunable energies and dipole moments. Advantage is taken of the tunable dipole moments of mixed exciton states to demonstrate in situ tuning of the vacuum Rabi splitting as well as new polariton states with hybrid spin character.

Phys. Rev. B 99, 165423 (2019) - Published 18 April, 2019

Advances in nanofabrication have recently made possible plasmonic nanostructures with features on very short length scales, enabling confinement of electromagnetic fields even to subnanometric scales. On this atomic scale, a classical local description of the dielectric function is no longer valid and effects such as electron spill-out at metal surfaces become relevant. Here, the authors take this nonlocal effect into account for singular plasmic metasurfaces with sharp features, such as narrow gaps and sharp edges. Nonlocal effects are prominent in these geometric singularities and lead to a discretization of the continuous spectrum. On the surface, the oscillation of the surface plasmon polaritons propagating toward the singularity is weakened, and this microscopic effect significantly affects the far-field spectrum.
