Possible restoration of particle-hole symmetry in the 5/2-quantized Hall state at small magnetic field

Motivated by the experimental observation of a quantized 5/2 thermal conductance at filling nu = 5/2, a result incompatible with both the Pfaffian and the anti-Pfaffian states, we have pushed the expansion of the effective Hamiltonian of the 5/2-quantized ...

Randomness and frustration in a S = (1/)(2) square-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Peter Babkevich, Bruce Normand, Ellen Fogh

We explore the interplay between randomness and magnetic frustration in the series of S = 12 Heisenberg square-lattice compounds Sr2CuTe1???xWxO6. Substituting W for Te alters the magnetic interactions dramatically, from strongly nearest-neighbor to next-n ...

Discovery of quantum phases in the Shastry-Sutherland compound SrCu2(BO3)(2) under extreme conditions of field and pressure

Frédéric Mila

The 2-dimensional layered oxide material SrCu2(BO3)(2), long studied as a realization of the Shastry-Sutherland spin topology, exhibits a range of intriguing physics as a function of both hydrostatic pressure and magnetic field, with a still debated interm ...

Magnetic Field Induced Quantum Spin Liquid in the Two Coupled Trillium Lattices of K2Ni2(SO4)(3)

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Arnaud Magrez, Ivica Zivkovic, Peter Babkevich, Luc Testa, Virgile Yves Favre, Nagabhushan Ganesh Hegde

Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter that form when strongly frustrated magnetic interactions induce a highly entangled quantum paramagnet far below the energy scale of the magnetic interactions. Three-dimensional cases are especially challengi ...

Broken-Symmetry Ground States of the Heisenberg Model on the Pyrochlore Lattice

Giuseppe Carleo

The spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on the pyrochlore lattice is an iconic frustrated three-dimensional spin system with a rich phase diagram. Besides hosting several ordered phases, the model is debated to possess a spin-liquid ground state when only nearest-ne ...

Universal Quantum Computing Using Electronuclear Wavefunctions of Rare-Earth Ions

Gabriel Aeppli

We propose a scheme for universal quantum computing based on Kramers rare-earth ions. Their nuclear spins in the presence of a Zeeman-split electronic crystal field ground state act as "passive" qubits that store quantum information. The "active" qubits ar ...

Nematic quantum criticality in an Fe-based superconductor revealed by strain-tuning

Joshua Alan Wolfe Straquadine

Quantum criticality may be essential to understanding a wide range of exotic electronic behavior; however, conclusive evidence of quantum critical fluctuations has been elusive in many materials of current interest. An expected characteristic feature of qu ...

Unconventional Spin Relaxation Involving Localized Vibrational Modes in Ho Single-Atom Magnets

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Pietro Gambardella, Fabio Donati, Christian Wäckerlin, Aparajita Singha, Romana Baltic, Katharina Johanna Diller

We investigate the spin relaxation of Ho single atom magnets on MgO/Ag(100) as a function of temperature and magnetic field. We find that the spin relaxation is thermally activated at low field, while it remains larger than 1000 s up to 30 K and 8 T. This ...

Ultrafast Intersystem Crossing and Structural Dynamics of [Pt(ppy)(mu-(t)Bu(2)pz)](2)

Majed Chergui, Lars-Hendrik Mewes, Rebecca Ann Ingle

Intersystem crossing (ISC) rates of transition-metal complexes are determined by the complex interplay of a molecule's electronic and structural dynamics. To broaden our understanding of these key factors, we investigate the case of the prototypical d(8)-d ...

Observation of two independent skyrmion phases in a chiral magnetic material

Helmuth Berger

Magnetic materials can host skyrmions, which are topologically non-trivial spin textures. In chiral magnets with cubic lattice symmetry, all previously observed skyrmion phases require thermal fluctuations to become thermodynamically stable in bulk materia ...

Fluorescence Quenching in BODIPY Dyes: the Role of Intramolecular Interactions and Charge Transfer

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Antonio Prlj, Laurent Alexis Clément Vannay

The fluorescence properties of the BODIPY dye and its two meso-substituted derivatives, tert-butyl- and phenyl-BODIPY, are rationalized. The non emissive behavior of the latter two are attributed to the energetically accessible low-lying conical intersecti ...

On the physics of polariton interactions

Naotomo Takemura

An exciton-polariton is a quasi-particle that emerges from the strong coupling between an exciton and a photon. Recently, the studies of the exciton-polariton have been receiving a great deal of attention in terms of both fundamental physics and potential ...

Gas-phase probes of kinetically trapped peptides

Liudmila Voronina

Gas-phase techniques are promising for studying intrinsically disordered peptides and proteins, as they can be implemented in a conformer-selective way. One of the issues that prevent them from finding a broader use is the question of to which extent the s ...

Superconducting scanning tunneling microscopy tips in a magnetic field: Geometry-controlled order of the phase transition

Klaus Kern, Matthias Alexander Eltschka

The properties of geometrically confined superconductors significantly differ from their bulk counterparts. Here, we demonstrate the geometrical impact for superconducting scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) tips, where the confinement ranges from the atom ...
