Transverse fields to tune an Ising-nematic quantum critical transition
Akash V. Maharaj, Elliott W. Rosenberg, Alexander T. Hristov +4
The paradigmatic example of a continuous quantum phase transition is the transverse field Ising ferromagnet. In contrast to classical critical systems, whose properties depend only…
Vestigial nematicity from spin and/or charge order in the cuprates
Laimei Nie, Akash V. Maharaj, Eduardo Fradkin +1
Nematic order has manifested itself in a variety of materials in the cuprate family. We propose an effective field theory of a layered system with incommensurate, intertwined spin-…
The Hall number across a van Hove singularity
Akash V. Maharaj, Ilya Esterlis, Yi Zhang +2
In the context of the relaxation time approximation to Boltzmann transport theory, we examine the behavior of the Hall number, , of a metal in the neighborhood of a Lifshitz t…
Ideal charge density wave order in the high-field state of superconducting YBCO
H. Jang, W. -S. Lee, H. Nojiri +20
The existence of charge density wave (CDW) correlations in cuprate superconductors has now been established. However, the nature of the ground state order has remained uncertain be…
Quantum oscillations in a bilayer with broken mirror symmetry: a minimal model for YBaCuO
Akash V. Maharaj, Yi Zhang, B. J. Ramshaw +1
Using an exact numerical solution and semiclassical analysis, we investigate quantum oscillations (QOs) in a model of a bilayer system with an anisotropic (elliptical) electron poc…
Symmetry constraints on the elastoresistivity tensor
M. C. Shapiro, Patrik Hlobil, A. T. Hristov +2
The elastoresistivity tensor characterizes changes in a material's resistivity due to strain. As a fourth-rank tensor, elastoresistivity can be a uniquely useful probe…
Elastoconductivity as a probe of broken mirror symmetries
Patrik Hlobil, Akash V. Maharaj, Pavan Hosur +3
We propose the possible detection of broken mirror symmetries in correlated two-dimensional materials by elastotransport measurements. Using linear response theory we calculate the…
The almost mobility edge in the almost Mathieu equation
Yi Zhang, Daniel Bulmash, Akash V. Maharaj +2
Harper's equation (aka the "almost Mathieu" equation) famously describes the quantum dynamics of an electron on a one dimensional lattice in the presence of an incommensurate poten…
Are there quantum oscillations in an incommensurate charge density wave?
Yi Zhang, Akash V. Maharaj, Steven A. Kivelson
Because a material with an incommensurate charge density wave (ICDW) is only quasi-periodic, Bloch's theorem does not apply and there is no sharply defined Fermi surface. We will s…
Crisscrossed stripe order from interlayer tunneling in hole-doped cuprates
Akash V. Maharaj, Pavan Hosur, S. Raghu
Motivated by recent observations of charge order in the pseudogap regime of hole-doped cuprates, we show that {\it crisscrossed} stripe order can be stabilized by coherent, momentu…
Evidence for a nematic component to the Hidden Order parameter in URu2Si2 from differential elastoresistance measurements
Scott C. Riggs, M. C. Shapiro, Akash V. Maharaj +6
Measurements of the differential elastoresistance of URuSi reveal that the fluctuations associated with the 17 K Hidden Order phase transition have a nematic component. App…
Particle-hole condensates of higher angular momentum in hexagonal systems
Akash V. Maharaj, Ronny Thomale, S. Raghu
Hexagonal lattice systems (e.g. triangular, honeycomb, kagome) possess a multidimensional irreducible representation corresponding to and symmetry. Consequen…
