　概要を見る

We study the ground-state phase diagram of a spin-12 XXZ model with a chirality-chirality interaction (CCI) on a two-leg ladder. This model offers a minimal setup to study an interplay between spin and chirality degrees of freedom. The spin-chirality duality transformation allows us to relate the regimes of weak and strong CCIs. By applying the Abelian bosonization and the duality, we obtain a rich phase diagram that contains distinct gapped featureless and ordered phases. In particular, Néel and vector chiral orders appear for easy-axis anisotropy, while two distinct symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases appear for easy-plane anisotropy. The two SPT phases can be viewed as twisted variants of the Haldane phase. We also present an effective description in terms of (spinor) hard-core bosons, which reveals critical behavior on the self-dual line in the easy-axis and easy-plane regimes. We perform numerical simulations to confirm the predicted phase structure and critical properties. We further demonstrate that the two SPT phases and a trivial phase are distinguished by topological indices in the presence of certain symmetries. A similar phase structure is expected in a spin-12 XXZ ladder with four-spin ring exchange.

By utilizing time-dependent tensor-network algorithms in the infinite matrix-product-state representation, we theoretically investigate the pump-probe spectroscopy of the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model at half filling. Our focus lies on nonequilibrium optical conductivity and single-particle excitation spectra. In the spin-density-wave (SDW) phase, we identify an in-gap state in the nonequilibrium optical conductivity due to the formation of excitons (or doublon-holon pairs), generated by the pulse through nonlocal interactions. In the strong-coupling regime, we discern additional multiple in-gap and out-of-gap states. In the charge-density-wave (CDW) phase, we detect not only an in-gap state but also a finite Drude weight, which results from the dissolution of charge order by photoexcitation. Analyzing time-dependent single-particle excitation spectra directly in the thermodynamic limit confirms the origin of these new states in the SDW and CDW phases as the excitation of newly emerged dispersions. We illustrate that the pump-probe spectroscopy simulations in the thermodynamic limit furnish unambiguous spectral structures that allow for direct comparison with experimental results, and the integration of nonequilibrium optical conductivity and time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy provides comprehensive insights into nonequilibrium states.

　概要を見る

The phenomenon of self-assembly of constituent elements to form molecules at low temperatures appears ubiquitously in transition metal compounds with orbital degrees of freedom. Recent progress in local structure studies using synchrotron radiation x rays is shifting the interest in structural studies in such molecule-forming systems from the low-temperature ordered phase to the short-range order that appears like a precursor at high temperatures. In this study, we discuss both experimentally and theoretically the relationship between the trimer structure that appears in the layered LiVX2(X = O, S, Se) system with a two-dimensional triangular lattice of vanadium and the zigzag chainlike local structure that appears near the phase transition boundary where molecular formation occurs. The vanadium trimerization that persistently appears in both low-temperature phases of LiVO2 and LiVS2 disappears in LiVSe2, and a regular triangular lattice is thought to be realized in LiVSe2, but this study reveals that the zigzag chain local distortion appears with a finite correlation length. These zigzag chain state local distortions are similar to the motif of local distortions in the high-temperature phase of LiVS2, indicating that the local distortions are persistent away from the trimer phase transition boundary. On the other hand, it is concluded that the zigzag chain order appearing in LiVSe2 is more stable than that in LiVS2 in terms of the temperature variation of atomic displacement and correlation length. The zigzag chain order is considered to be competitive with the trimer order appearing in the LiVX2 system. In this paper, we discuss the similarities and differences between the parameters that stabilize these electronic phases and the local distortions that appear in other molecular formation systems.

Wannier-Stark ladders and Stark shifts of excitons in Mott insulators

　概要を見る

External-field driven energy-level discretization, such as Landau quantization or Stark localization, is one of the most intriguing phenomena in quantum systems. We investigate the emergence of the Wannier-Stark ladder coming from the particle-hole continuum and the Stark shifts of the exciton levels in one-dimensional Mott insulators under the dc electric field. The discretized peak structure in the optical-conductivity spectra newly appears by applying the dc electric field, and the positions of these peaks can be reproduced from the energy levels of a simple effective model in the strong-coupling regime. Our results not only suggest that Mott insulators can serve as a viable platform for Stark discretization, but also pave the way for investigations of dynamical properties in correlated many-body systems under a dc electric field.

　概要を見る

Using the three-orbital Hubbard model, we investigate the low-energy excitation spectra in the antiferromagnetic phase of Ca2RuO4. We calculate the dynamical susceptibilities in the low-energy region by the random phase approximation and find that the anisotropic dispersion of the transverse mode is in good agreement with the spectra recently reported by inelastic neutron scattering experiments. By the fast-collision approximation, we simulate the resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra of the Ru L3 edge from the dynamical susceptibilities. We show that the dispersion of the transverse mode is clearly observed in the calculated RIXS spectra and that the polarization dependence of the incident x rays enables one to distinguish between the excitations of the in-plane transverse mode and out-of-plane transverse mode.

Excitonic effects on high-harmonic generation in Mott insulators

　概要を見る

To study excitonic effects on high-harmonic generation (HHG) in Mott insulators, we investigate pumped nonequilibrium dynamics in the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model. By employing time-dependent calculations based on the exact diagonalization and infinite time-evolving block decimation methods, we find the strong enhancement of the HHG intensity around the exciton energy. The subcycle analysis in the sub-Mott-gap regime shows that the intensity region of the time-resolved spectrum around the exciton energy splits into two levels and oscillates following the driving electric field. This excitonic dynamics is qualitatively different from the dynamics of free doublon and holon but favorably contributes to HHG in the Mott insulator.

Comprehensive analyses of the 115In-NQR spectra employing a magnetic dipolar model and a transferred hyperfine model are performed to determine the magnetic structures of Ce3PtIn11. Based on this analysis, we confirmed that the magnetic moment at the Ce(1) site is very small (∼4% of that at the Ce(2) site) but finite. Further, for T N2 < T < T N1 and T < T N2, the magnetic moments at the Ce(1) and Ce(2) sites are parallel to the c-axis, and the in-plane propagation vectors in the two Ce atoms sublattices are (qa, qb ) = (1/2, 1/2). In the temperature interval T N2 <T < T N1, for example, both of them have a form of q = (1/2, 1/2, 0). For T < T N2, the magnetic structure in the Ce(2) sublattice is defined by the propagation vector q = (1/2, 1/2, 1/2 or 0), whereas the Ce(1) sublattice forms a six-fold period structure given by q = (1/2, 1/2, 1/6).

We report on the charge-ordered structure of LiRh2O4 arising below the metal-insulator transition at 170 K. Structural studies using synchrotron x rays have revealed that the charge-ordered states of Rh3+ and Rh4+ with dimerization are realized in the low-temperature phase below 170 K. Although the low-temperature ground state resembles that of CuIr2S4, a charge-ordering pattern satisfying the Anderson condition is realized in LiRh2O4. Based on structural information such as the short-range order of dimers appearing above the transition temperature and the weakening of the correlation between rhodium one-dimensional chains appearing in the crystal structure, we argue that the Coulomb interaction plays an important role in determining the charge-ordering patterns.

We consider quantum many-body dynamics under quantum measurements, where the measurement-induced phase transitions (MIPs) occur when changing the frequency of the measurement. In this work, we consider the robustness of the MIP for long-range interaction that decays as r-a with distance r. The effects of long-range interactions are classified into two regimes: (i) the MIP is observed (a>ac), and (ii) the MIP is absent even for arbitrarily strong measurements (a<ac). Using fermion models, we demonstrate both regimes in integrable and nonintegrable cases. We identify the underlying mechanism and propose sufficient conditions to observe the MIP, that is, a>d/2+1 for general bilinear systems and a>d+1 for general nonintegrable systems (d: spatial dimension). Numerical calculation indicates that these conditions are optimal.

An analysis with a transferred hyperfine field has been performed on the spectra of the In115 nuclear quadrupole resonance experiments of heavy fermion superconductor Ce3PtIn11 exhibiting co-occurrence of two successive antiferromagnetic orderings (TN1 = 2.2 K and TN2 = 2.0 K) followed by a superconducting transition (Tc = 0.32 K). The spectral changes at magnetic transition temperatures TN1 and TN2 indicate that the Ce(2) site has the dominant magnetic contribution, with a small magnetic moment, but not negligible, at the Ce(1) site. Our analysis using a transferred hyperfine field which overcomes the previous simple dipolar model evinces the magnetic structures of Ce3PtIn11. ForTN2<T<TN1, the propagation vectors at the Ce(1) and Ce(2) sublattices are q1=q2=(12,12,0or12). On the other hand, for T<TN2, the propagation vectors are q1=(12,12,16or13) and q2=(12,12,12or0), respectively.

Electronic instabilities in transition metal compounds often spontaneously form orbital molecules, which consist of orbital-coupled metal ions at low temperature. Recent local structural studies utilizing the pair distribution function revealed that preformed orbital molecules appear disordered even in the high-temperature paramagnetic phase. However, it is unclear whether preformed orbital molecules are dynamic or static. Here, we provide clear experimental evidence of the slow dynamics of disordered orbital molecules realized in the high-temperature paramagnetic phase of LiVS2, which exhibits vanadium trimerization upon cooling below 314 K. Unexpectedly, the preformed orbital molecules appear as a disordered zigzag chain that fluctuate in both time and space under electron irradiation. Our findings should advance studies on soft matter physics realized in an inorganic material due to disordered orbital molecules.

Light-induced switching of magnetic order in the anisotropic triangular-lattice Hubbard model

　概要を見る

The time-dependent exact-diagonalization method is used to study the light-induced phase transition of magnetic orders in the anisotropic triangular-lattice Hubbard model. Calculating the spin correlation function, we confirm that the phase transition from the 120° order to the Néel order can take place due to high-frequency periodic fields. We show that the effective Heisenberg-model Hamiltonian derived from the high-frequency expansion by the Floquet theory describes the present system very well and that the ratio of the exchange interactions expressed in terms of the frequency and amplitude of the external field determines the type of the magnetic orders. Our results demonstrate the controllability of the magnetic orders by tuning the external field.

© 2020 American Physical Society. Nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements were performed on the heavy-fermion superconductor Ce3PtIn11 with Tc=0.32K. The temperature dependence of both spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 and NQR spectra evidences the occurrence of two successive magnetic transitions with TN1≃2.2K and TN2≃2.0K. In successive magnetic transitions, even though the magnetic moment at the Ce(2) site plays a major role, the magnetic moment at the Ce(1) site also contributes to some extent. While a commensurate antiferromagnetic ordered state appears for TN2<T<TN1, a partially incommensurate antiferromagnetic ordered state is suggested for T<TN2.

© 2020 American Physical Society. We investigate the competition between superconductivity (SC) and charge density wave (CDW) under a time-dependent periodic field in the attractive Hubbard model. By employing the time-dependent exact diagonalization method, we show that the driving frequency and amplitude of the external field can control the enhancement of either the superconducting pair or the CDW correlation in the system, for which SC and CDW are degenerate in the ground state of the half-filled attractive Hubbard model in the absence of the field. In the strong-coupling limit of the attractive Hubbard interaction, the controllability is characterized by the anisotropic interaction of the effective model. The anisotropy is induced by the external field and lifts the degeneracy of SC and CDW. We find that the enhancement or suppression of the superconducting pair and CDW correlations in the periodically driven attractive Hubbard model can be well interpreted by the quench dynamics of the effective model derived in the strong-coupling limit.

©2020 The Physical Society of Japan We study the electron–hole pair (or excitonic) condensation in the extended Falicov–Kimball model at finite temperatures based on the cluster mean-field-theory approach, where we make the grand canonical exact-diagonalization analysis of small clusters using the sine-square deformation function. We thus calculate the ground-state and finite-temperature phase diagrams of the model, as well as its optical conductivity and single-particle spectra, thereby clarifying how the preformed pair states appear in the strong-coupling regime of excitonic insulators. We compare our results with experiments on Ta2NiSe5,.

Observation of a novel phase transition in Sr7Re4O19

　概要を見る

© 2020 The Physical Society of Japan. We have synthesized good-quality powder samples of Sr7Re4O19 and found a phase transition at 206 K accompanied by some changes in both electronic properties and structure. The values and the temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility indicate the existence of a Pauli paramagnetic state above 206 K and a nonmagnetic state below 206 K. The electrical resistivity of the sintered sample gradually increases with decreasing temperature below room temperature and sharply increases below 206 K, which is followed by insulating behavior below 160 K. In addition, the structure changes from monoclinic to triclinic at the transition. Sr7Re4O19 has a quasi-one-dimensional structure comprising the coupled zigzag chain formed by corner-shared ReO6 octahedra. Further, a long=short alternation of the Re–Re distance along the zigzag chain is observed in the low-temperature phase. Quasi-one-dimensional Fermi surfaces and band dispersions are also identified by the electronic structure calculations. These results suggest that the phase transition is a possible metal–insulator transition caused by the Peierls instability.

Emergence of pure spin current in doped excitonic magnets

© 2020 American Physical Society. ©2020 American Physical Society. An excitonic magnet hosts a condensate of spin-triplet excitons composed of conduction-band electrons and valence-band holes and may be described by the two-orbital Hubbard model. When the Hamiltonian has the nearest-neighbor interorbital hopping integrals with d-wave symmetry and the number of electrons is slightly away from half filling, the k-space spin texture appears in the excitonic phase with a broken time-reversal symmetry. We then show that, applying electric field to this doped excitonic magnet along a particular direction, a pure spin current emerges along its orthogonal direction. We discuss possible experimental realization of this type of the pure spin current in actual materials.
