Anomalous Normal Fluid Response in Chiral Superconductor UTe 2

May 10, 2021
Author(s)
Seokjin Bae, Hyunsoo Kim, Yun S. Eo, Nicholas Butch, Sheng Ran
A chiral superconductor has been proposed as one pathway to realize topological quantum computation utilizing the predicted Majorana normal fluid at its boundary1 1-4 (i.e., a point, edge, or surface). The search for experimental realizations has led to

Dynamical Ground State in the XY Pyrochlore Yb 2 GaSbO 7

May 5, 2021

P. M. Sarte, K. Cruz-Kan, B. R. Ortiz, K. H. Hong, M. M. Bordelon, D. Reig-i-Plessis, M. Lee, E. S. Choi, Matthew Stone, S. Calder, D. M. Pajerowski, L. Mangin-Thro, Yiming Qiu, J. P. Attfield, S. D. Wilson, C. Stock, H. D. Zhou, A. M. Hallas, J. A. Paddison, A. A. Aczel, C. R. Wiebe
The magnetic ground state of the pyrochlore Yb 2GaSbO 7 has remained an enigma for nearly a decade. The persistent spin fluctuations observed by muon spin relaxation measurements at low temperatures have not been adequately explained for this material

Magnetic Ordering and Structural Distortion in PrFeAsO Single Crystal Studied by Neutron and X-ray Scattering

May 5, 2021
Author(s)
M. G. Kim, William D. Ratcliff, D. M. Pajerowski, J.-W. Kim, J.-Q. Yan, Jeffrey W. Lynn, A. I. Goldman, A. Kreyssig
We report the magnetic ordering and structural distortion in PrFeAsO crystals, the basis compound for one of the oxypnictide superconductors, using high-resolution x-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, and x-ray resonant magnetic scattering (XRMS). We

Mechanisms of Anelastic Loss in Langasite at Temperatures from 113 K to 1324 K

May 4, 2021
Author(s)
Ward L. Johnson, Yuriy Suhak, Holger Fritze
Synthetic piezoelectric crystals with the structure of langasite (LGS) are being pursued for resonant acoustic sensors that can operate at temperatures exceeding the range of conventional piezoelectric materials. The optimization of these crystals is

Quantum field theory for the chiral clock transition in one spatial dimension

May 3, 2021
Author(s)
Seth P. Whitsitt, Rhine Samajdar, Subir Sachdev
We describe the quantum phase transition in the N-state chiral clock model in spatial dimension d=1. With couplings chosen to preserve time-reversal and spatial inversion symmetries, such a model, is in the universality class of recent experimental studies

Entanglement and purification transitions in non-Hermitian quantum mechanics

April 30, 2021
Author(s)
Michael Gullans, Sarang Gopalakrishnan
A quantum system subject to continuous measurement and post-selection evolves according to a non- Hermitian Hamiltonian. We show that, as one increases the rate of post-selection, this non- Hermitian Hamiltonian can undergo a spectral phase transition. On

High-resolution neutron depolarization microscopy of the ferromagnetic transitions inNi3Al and HgCr2Se4 under pressure

April 21, 2021
Author(s)
Daniel S. Hussey, Muhammad Abir, B. Khaykovich, C. Pfleiderer, Pau Jorba, Marc Seifert, Michael Schulz
We performed spatially resolved imaging of ferromagnetic transitions in Ni3Al and HgCr2Se4 crystals. These neutron depolarization measurements discovered bulk magnetic inhomogeneities in the ferromagnetic transition temperature with the spatial resolution

Quantum Phase Transitions in a Quasi-One-Dimensional Ising Quantum Magnet in Transverse Fields

April 15, 2021
Author(s)
Xiaowen Zhang, Zheng He, Yiqing Hao, Yao Shen, Shoudong Shen, Yu Feng, Guangyong Xu, Nicholas Butch, Goran J. Nilsen, Wenbin Wang, Jun Zhao
We report neutron scattering and thermodynamic measurements of the quasi-one-dimensional Ising magnet SrCo 2V 2O 8 under transverse fields along the tetragonal a/b direction. Our experiments reveal a Neel-type magnetic order in zero field, which

2p x-ray absorption spectroscopy of 3d transition metal systems

Eric L. Shirley, John Vinson, Frank de Groot, Hebatalla Elnaggar, Federica Frati, Ru-pan Wang, Mario Delgado, Michel van Veenendaal, Maurits Haverkort, Robert Green, Yaroslav Kvashnin, Atsushi Hariki, Harry Ramanantoanina, Claude Daul, Bernard Delley, Michael Odelius, Marcus Lundberg, Oliver Kuhn, Sergey Bokarev, Keith Gilmore, Mauro Stener, Giovanni Fronzoni, Piero Decleva, Peter Kruger, Marius Retegan, Javier Fernandez-Rodriguez, Gerritt van der Laan, Yves Joly, Christian Vorwerk, Claudia Draxl, John Rehr, Arata Tanaka, Hidekazu Ikeno
A variety of methods are presented that are presently used to treat x-ray absorption spectra of transition-metal 2p edges in a wide range of compounds. Different methods include different methods of chemical realism versus featuring the simplifications of

A Spin Hamiltonian for BaCdVO(PO 4 ) 2

April 1, 2021
Author(s)
V. K. Bhartiya, S. Hayashida, K. Yu. Povarov, Z. Yan, Yiming Qiu, S. Raymond, A. Zheludev
Single crystal inelastic neutron scattering is used to study spin wave excitations in the fully polarized state of the frustrated quantum ferro-antiferromagnet BaCdVO(PO 4) 2. The data analysis is based on a Heisenberg spin Hamiltonian that includes as

Isotropic Nature of the Metallic Kagome Ferromagnet Fe 3 Sn 2 at High Temperatures

March 20, 2021
Author(s)
Rebecca Dally, Daniel Phelan, Nicholas Bishop, Nirmal J. Ghimire, Jeffrey Lynn
Anisotropy and competing exchange interactions have emerged as two central ingredients needed for centrosymmetric materials to exhibit topological spin textures. Fe 3Sn 2 is thought to have these ingredients as well, as it has recently been discovered to
