Hall Viscosity and Electromagnetic Response

Carlos Hoyos and Dam Thanh Son
We show that, for Galilean invariant quantum Hall states, the Hall viscosity appears in the electromagnetic response at finite wave numbers q. In particular, the leading q dependence of the Hall conductivity at small q receives a contribution from the Hall viscosity. The coefficient of the q term in ... [Phys. Rev.

Competing orders in the Dirac-like electronic structure and the nonlinear sigma model with a topological term

Pouyan Ghaemi and Shinsei Ryu
The Dirac-like electronic structure can host a large number of competing orders in the form of mass terms. In particular, two different order parameters can be said to be dual to each other, when a static defect in one of them traps a quantum number (or charge) of the other. We discuss that such com ...

Phase transitions in spin-orbital models with spin-space anisotropies for iron pnictides: Monte Carlo simulations

Ryan Applegate, Rajiv R. P. Singh, Cheng-Chien Chen, and Thomas P. Devereaux
The common phase diagrams of superconducting iron pnictides show interesting material specificities in the structural and magnetic phase transitions. In some cases the two transitions are separate and second order, while in others they appear to happen concomitantly as a single first-order transitio ... [Phys. Rev. B 85, 054411 ] published .

Enhancement of ferromagnetism in Ni excess CuNiMnSb half Heusler alloys

B. L. Ahuja, Alpa Dashora, Shailja Tiwari, H. S. Mund, Madhumita Halder et al.
Spin momentum densities of CuNiMnSb (for x = 0.17 and 0.22), derived from experimental magnetic Compton profiles (MCPs), show an increase in magnetic moment while going from x = 0.17 --> 0.22, which is attributed to Mn 3d states.

Electrical resistance measurements have been carried out on polycrystalline erbium (Er) at temperatures down to 10 K and pressures up to 20 GPa. An abrupt change in the slope of the resistance is observed with decreasing temperature below 84 K which is associated with the c-axis modulated antiferrom ... [J. Appl.

The influence of a combined addition of Co and C on the magnetocaloric effect in the LaPrFeSi compound is investigated. The addition of Co and C can adjust Curie temperature (T) to around room temperature. Although the magnetic entropy change (DeltaS) of LaPrFeCoSiC decreases with the increase of x, ... [J. Appl.

We report on a numerical experiment in which we use time-dependent potentials to braid non-Abelian quasiparticles. We consider lattice bosons in a uniform magnetic field within the fractional quantum Hall regime, where nu, the ratio of particles to flux quanta, is near 1/2, 1, or 3/2. We introduce t ... [Phys.

Interplay between interaction and chiral anomaly in the holographic approach

Strongly coupled conformal field theory appears to describe universal scaling around quantum criticality, where critical exponents reflect the nature of emergent excitations. In particular, novel symmetries can emerge from strong interactions that are expected to be responsible for quantum number fr ... [Phys. Rev. D 85, 045011 ] published .

Ground-state degeneracy in the Levin-Wen model for topological phases

Yuting Hu, Spencer D. Stirling, and Yong-Shi Wu
We study the properties of topological phases by calculating the ground-state degeneracy (GSD) of the two-dimensional Levin-Wen (LW) model. Here it is explicitly shown that the GSD depends only on the spatial topology of the system. Then we show that the ground state on a sphere is always nondegener ... [Phys. Rev.
