VO2 nanosheets: controlling the THz properties through strain engineering

Elsa Abreu, Mengkun Liu, Jiwei Lu +5

We investigate far-infrared properties of strain engineered vanadium dioxide nanosheets through epitaxial growth on a (100)R TiO2 substrate. The nanosheets exhibit large uniaxial s…

A lattice model for the SU(N) Neel-VBS quantum phase transition at large N

Ribhu K. Kaul, Anders W. Sandvik

We generalize the SU(N=2) square-lattice quantum magnet with nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic coupling () and next-nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic coupling () to…

Universal Neel Temperature in Three-Dimensional Quantum Antiferromagnets

Songbo Jin, Anders W. Sandvik

We study three-dimensional dimerized S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnets, using quantum Monte Carlo simulations of systems with three different dimerization patterns. We propose a wa…

Two-orbital quantum spin model of magnetism in the iron pnictides

C. Liu, D. -X. Yao, A. W. Sandvik

We study a two-orbital spin model to describe (pi,0) stripe antiferromagnetism in the iron pnictides. The "double-spin" model has an on-site Hunds's coupling and inter-site interac…

State Space for Planar Majorana Zero Modes

R. Jackiw, S. -Y. Pi

Zero modes arising from a planar Majorana equation in the presence of vortices require an -dimensional state-space, where for even and…

General method for calculating the universal conductance of strongly correlated junctions of multiple quantum wires

Armin Rahmani, Chang-Yu Hou, Adrian Feiguin +3

We develop a method to extract the universal conductance of junctions of multiple quantum wires, a property of systems connected to reservoirs, from static ground-state computation…

Topological Quantum Glassiness

Claudio Castelnovo, Claudio Chamon

Quantum tunneling often allows pathways to relaxation past energy barriers which are otherwise hard to overcome classically at low temperatures. However, this is not always the cas…

Maximum entropy deconvolution of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering spectra

J. Laverock, A. R. H. Preston, D. Newby +2

Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) has become a powerful tool in the study of the electronic structure of condensed matter. Although the linewidths of many RIXS features ar…

Method to characterize spinons as emergent elementary particles

Ying Tang, Anders W. Sandvik

We develop a technique to directly study spinons (emergent spin S = 1/2 particles) in quantum spin models in any number of dimensions. The size of a spinon wave packet and of a bou…
