Theory of parametrically amplified electron-phonon superconductivity

10.1103/PhysRevB.96.014512

2017-07-19

Ultrafast optical manipulation of ordered phases in strongly correlated materials is a topic of significant theoretical, experimental, and technological interest. Inspired by a recent experiment on light-induced superconductivity in fullerenes [M. Mitrano et ...

Driving induced many-body localization

10.1103/PhysRevB.96.020201

2017-07-19

Subjecting a many-body localized system to a time-periodic drive generically leads to delocalization and a transition to ergodic behavior if the drive is sufficiently strong or of sufficiently low frequency. Here we show that a specific drive can have an oppo...

Dependence of the structure and dynamics of liquid silicon on the choice of density functional approximation

10.1103/PhysRevB.96.024203

2017-07-19

In addition to its technological relevance, silicon poses a challenge for first principles simulations because it undergoes a semiconductor-to-metal transition upon melting. Moreover, the resulting metallic liquid contains a mixture of metallic and covalent b...

Magnetoelectric effect in doped magnetic ferroelectrics

10.1103/PhysRevB.96.024204

2017-07-19

We propose a model of magnetoelectric effect in doped magnetic ferroelectrics. This magnetoelectric effect does not involve the spin-orbit coupling and is based purely on the Coulomb interaction. We calculate magnetic phase diagram of doped magnetic ferroelec...

Magnetic Möbius stripe without frustration: Noncollinear metastable states

10.1103/PhysRevB.96.024426

2017-07-19

The recently introduced area of topological magnetism searches for equilibrium structures stabilized by a combination of interactions and specific boundary conditions. Until now, the internal energy of open magnetic chains has been explored. Here, we study th...

Time-domain stability of parametric synchronization in a spin-torque nano-oscillator based on a magnetic tunnel junction

10.1103/PhysRevB.96.024427

2017-07-19

We report on time-domain stability of the parametric synchronization in a spin-torque nano-oscillator (STNO) based on a magnetic tunnel junction. Time-domain measurements of the instantaneous frequency (fi) of a parametrically synchronized STNO show random sh...

Electronic structure ofRSb(R=Y, Ce, Gd, Dy, Ho, Tm, Lu) studied by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy

2017-07-19

We use high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and electronic structure calculations to study the electronic properties of rare-earth monoantimonides RSb (R = Y, Ce, Gd, Dy, Ho, Tm, Lu). The experimentally measured Fermi surface (FS)...

Fingerprints of quantum spin ice in Raman scattering

2017-07-19

We develop a theory of the dynamical response of a minimal model of quantum spin ice (QSI) by means of inelastic light scattering. In particular, we are interested in the Raman response of the fractionalized U(1) spin liquid realized in the XXZ QSI. We show t...

2017-07-19

We present results of a detailed theoretical study of the electronic, magnetic, and structural properties of the chalcogenide parent system FeSe using a fully charge-self-consistent implementation of the density functional theory plus dynamical mean-field the...

2017-07-19

Spin-polarized density functional calculations, magnetization, and neutron diffraction (ND) measurements are carried out to investigate the magnetic exchange interactions and strong correlation effects in Yb substituted inverse spinel nickel ferrite. In the p...
