Dynamic Response in Fe doped La0.65Ca0.35Mn1-yFeyO3: Rare-earth Manganites

Abstract

We have studied the dynamic response of Fe doped manganites with ac susceptibility measurements on bulk La0.65Ca0.35Mn1-yFeyO3 with 0.01<y<0.10 as functions of temperature and dc field. It is observed that the in phase part goes through a maximum that is removed on the application of moderate dc field. DC fields suppress both the components with the strongest effects being at or close to Tc. Conduction and ferromagnetism has been consistently suppressed by Fe doping. Increased spin disorder and decrease of Tc with increasing Fe content are evident. The variations in the critical temperature Tc and magnetic moment show a rapid change at about 4-5% Fe. The effect of Fe is seen to be consistent with the disruption of the Mn-Mn exchange possibly due to the formation of magnetic clusters. There is clear correlation between the structures in the resistivity and the in and out of phase parts of the susceptibility. With increasing Fe concentration the out of phase part (x'') peak shift to T<T1/2, but it stays consistently at the temperature where the resistivity changes slow down. The shoulder in x'' disappears above 4% Fe concentration. The peak of x'' moves to 8 or 10 K higher temperature on the application of a dc field, for 3 & 4 %Fe samples. Consistently two peaks are found in the ratios of x''/x'. We are seeing correspondence of dissipation with the change in R. We also see increasing low temperature dissipation in more strongly Fe doped samples i.e. increasing the Fe, leads to increased spin disorder and dissipation at low temperature. The effect of the dc field is discussed in terms of the suppression of spin fluctuations close to Tc and the changes in coercivity for lower temperatures.

Collective excitations in chiral spin liquid: chiral roton and long-wavelength nematic mode

Chiral spin liquid (CSL) is a magnetic analogue of the fractional quantum Hall (FQH) liquid. Collective excitations play a vital role in shaping our understanding of these exotic quantum phases of matter and their quantum phase transitions. While the magneto-roton and long-wavelength chiral graviton modes in the FQH and fractional Chern insulator (FCI) liquids have been extensively explored, whether CSLs host analogous or qualitatively different modes remains elusive. Here we explore the collective excitations in the SU(2) symmetric CSL phase. Combining exact diagonalization and time-dependent variational principle calculations, we identify two spin-singlet collective modes: a chiral p-wave roton mode at finite momentum, and a elliptically polarized d-wave nematic mode at zero momentum, both of which are prominent across the CSL phase. The chiral p-wave singlet roton has no counterpart in FQH of FCI systems, and the q = 0 d-wave mode also exhibits fingerprint distinct from those of FQH/FCI liquids. We also elucidate that both singlet modes are general for CSLs on various lattice models. By tuning J2, we find the nematic mode to be pronouncedly soft, together with the spin-triplet two-spinon bound states, potentially promoting strong nematic and spin stripe instabilities. Our work paves the way for further understanding CSL from the dynamical perspective and provides new spectroscopic signatures for future experiments of CSL candidates.

Extracting central charge from ground-state overlaps of spatially deformed Hamiltonians

We show that the conformal anomaly of a $(1+1)$-dimensional conformal field theory can be extracted directly from a ground-state wave-function overlap associated with a spatial conformal deformation. Focusing on the $q$-Möbius deformation, we derive an exact overlap formula between the deformed and undeformed ground states, whose exponent directly encodes the central charge. Motivated by this result, we construct a lattice estimator based solely on ground-state overlaps and apply it to representative critical quantum chains and the gapless edge modes of a two-dimensional Chern insulator. Numerical results demonstrate that the resulting overlaps provide a simple and robust probe of the central charge in microscopic models. We further demonstrate that the deformed ground states retain universal geometric structures in their entanglement spectra and entanglement entropies. These results provide a simple wave-function-based route to probing conformal data in critical systems and topological edge modes.

Propagation and localization of spin excitations at altermagnetic domain walls

Altermagnets (A$\ell$Ms) are spin-compensated materials in which opposite-spin sublattices are connected by a symmetry that causes a spin splitting in their elementary excitations. As there is a strong effect of altermagnetism on domain wall properties, it is quite natural to also expect an enrichment of the physics of magnetic excitations at A$\ell$M domain walls. Here, we consider the propagation of spin eigen-excitations along domain walls in easy-axial $d$-wave A$\ell$Ms. Investigating the presence of bound states localized on a domain wall, we find that the effect of the A$\ell$M on the bound states strongly depends on the orientation of the domain wall relative to the crystallographic directions. If the domain wall is oriented along a nodal direction [100] or [010], A$\ell$M does not change the number of bound states; however, it leads to a nonlinear dispersion and a tilt of the wavefront. The effect of A$\ell$M is strongest when the domain wall is oriented along the directions [110] or [$\bar{1}$10], i.e., along the directions of the strongest A$\ell$M splitting in the magnon spectrum. In this case, (i) the additional gapped bound states appear, (ii) degeneracy of the eigenstates with respect to their polarization (right-handed or left-handed precession of the N{é}el vector) is removed, and (iii) the localization area of the bound states strongly depends on the eigenfrequency. The latter may lead to strong localization of the bound state at the domain wall. We further consider the influence of a static magnetic field that is applied along the easy axis, and find that the magnetic field induces an asymmetry between the localization regions on opposite sides of the domain wall and sets an upper limit on the absolute value of the propagating eigenstate's wave vector.
