Charge fluctuations in the intermediate-valence ground state of SmCoIn5

Nicola Colonna

The microscopic mechanism of heavy band formation, relevant for unconventional superconductivity in CeCoIn5 and other Ce-based heavy fermion materials, depends strongly on the efficiency with which f electrons are delocalized from the rare earth sites and ...

Density-wave ordering in a unitary Fermi gas with photon-mediated interactions

Jean-Philippe Brantut, Victor Youri Helson, Kevin Etienne Robert Roux, Hideki Konishi, Timo Zwettler

A density wave (DW) is a fundamental type of long-range order in quantum matter tied to self-organization into a crystalline structure. The interplay of DW order with superfluidity can lead to complex scenarios that pose a great challenge to theoretical an ...

Thermal Evolution of Dirac Magnons in the Honeycomb Ferromagnet CrBr3

Bruce Normand, Christian Rüegg, Andreas Martin Läuchli Herzig

CrBr3 is an excellent realization of the two-dimensional honeycomb ferromagnet, which offers a bosonic equivalent of graphene with Dirac magnons and topological character. We perform inelastic neutron scattering measurements using state-of-the-art instrume ...

One-Shot Approach for Enforcing Piecewise Linearity on Hybrid Functionals: Application to Band Gap Predictions

Alfredo Pasquarello, Stefano Falletta, Jing Yang

We present an efficient procedure for constructing nonempirical hybrid functionals to accurately predict band gaps of extended systems. We determine mixing parameters by enforcing the generalized Koopmans’ condition on localized electron states, which are ...

From hidden order to antiferromagnetism: Electronic structure changes in Fe-doped URu2Si2

Emmanouil Frantzeskakis, Ji Dai

In matter, any spontaneous symmetry breaking induces a phase transition characterized by an order parameter, such as the magnetization vector in ferromagnets, or a macroscopic many electron wave function in superconductors. Phase transitions with unknown o ...

Non-Wilson-Fisher kinks of O(N) numerical bootstrap: From the deconfined phase transition to a putative new family of CFTs

Ning Su

It is well established that the O(N) Wilson-Fisher (WF) CFT sits at a kink of the numerical bounds from bootstrapping four point function of O(N) vector. Moving away from the WF kinks, there indeed exists another family of kinks (dubbed non-WF kinks) on th ...

Symmetry enhanced spin-Nernst effect in honeycomb antiferromagnetic transition metal trichalcogenide monolayers

Mohammad Hamdi, Seyedeh Fatemeh Haddadi Givi

We investigate systematically the spin-Nernst effect in Neel and zigzag ordered honeycomb antiferromagnets. Monolayers of transition-metal trichalcogenides, MnPSe3, MnPS3, and VPS3 show an antiferromagnetic Neel order while CrSiTe3, NiPS3, and NiPSe3 show ...

Evidence of a coupled electron-phonon liquid in NbGe2

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Matthias Carsten Putzke, Mathieu François Padlewski

Whereas electron-phonon scattering relaxes the electron's momentum in metals, a perpetual exchange of momentum between phonons and electrons may conserve total momentum and lead to a coupled electron-phonon liquid. Such a phase of matter could be a platfor ...

Optical conductivity of the type-II Weyl semimetal TaIrTe4

Ana Akrap, Konstantin Semeniuk

TaIrTe4 is an example of a candidate Weyl type-II semimetal with a minimal possible number of Weyl nodes. Four nodes are reported to exist in a single plane in k space. The existence of a conical dispersion linked toWeyl nodes has yet to be shown experimen ...

Kagome model for a Z(2) quantum spin liquid

Jonathan D'Emidio

We present a study of a simple model antiferromagnet consisting of a sum of nearest-neighbor SO(N) singlet projectors on the kagome lattice. Our model shares some features with the popular S = 1/2 kagome antiferromagnet but is specifically designed to be f ...

Generic phase diagram of spin relaxation in solids and the Loschmidt echo

The spin relaxation time in solids is determined by several competing energy scales and processes, and distinct methods are called for to analyze the various regimes. We present a stochastic model for the spin dynamics in solids which is equivalent to solv ...
