X-ray dichroism as a probe of orbital quenching and unquenching induced by optically excited Jahn-Teller modes

The use of soft-X-ray spectroscopy to probe changes in the ground-state due to vibronic excitations is studied. The changes in L-edge X-ray absorption on divalent cobalt in the presence of a vibrating Jahn-Teller distortion are calculated. For linear dichroism, a strong dependence on the distortion is obtained reflecting the change in the local quadrupole moment due to the changes in the xy versus yz/zx hole densities during the oscillation. Here, in the presence of a magnetic moment, significant variations in the circular dichroic signal are obtained related to the quenching and unquenching of the orbital angular momentum.

Formation of Mn-rich interfacial phases in Co 2 Fe x Mn 1-x Si thin films

Here, we report the formation of Mn-rich regions at the interface of Co 2 Fe x Mn 1-x Si thin films grown on GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) with electron energy loss (EEL) spectrum imaging reveals that each interfacial region: (1) is 1–2 nm wide, (2) occurs irrespective of the Fe/Mn composition ratio and in both Co-rich and Co-poor films, and (3) displaces both Co and Fe indiscriminately. We also observe a Mn-depleted region in each film directly above each Mn-rich interfacial layer, roughly 3 nm in width in the x = 0 and x = 0.3 films, and 1 nm in the x = 0.7 (less Mn) film. We posit that growth energetics favor Mn diffusion to the interface even when there is no significant Ga interdiffusion into the epitaxial film. Element-specific X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements show larger Co, Fe, and Mn orbital to spin magnetic moment ratios compared to bulk values across the Co 2 Fe x Mn 1-x Si compositional range. The values lie between reported values for pure bulk and nanostructured Co, Fe, and Mn materials, corroborating the non-uniform, layered nature of the material on the nanoscale. Finally, SQUID magnetometry demonstrates that the films deviate from the Slater-Pauling rule for uniform films of both the expected and the measured composition. The results inform a need for care and increased scrutiny when forming Mn-based magnetic thin films on III-V semiconductors like GaAs, particularly when films are on the order of 5 nm or when interface composition is critical to spin transport or other device applications.

Relativistic gas accretion onto supermassive black hole binaries from inspiral through merger

Accreting supermassive black hole binaries are powerful multimessenger sources emitting both gravitational and electromagnetic (EM) radiation. Understanding the accretion dynamics of these systems and predicting their distinctive EM signals is crucial to informing and guiding upcoming efforts aimed at detecting gravitational waves produced by these binaries. To this end, accurate numerical modeling is required to describe both the spacetime and the magnetized gas around the black holes. In this paper, we present two key advances in this field of research. First, we have developed a novel 3D general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) framework that combines multiple numerical codes to simulate the inspiral and merger of supermassive black hole binaries starting from realistic initial data and running all the way through merger. Throughout the evolution, we adopt a simple but functional prescription to account for gas cooling through photon emission. Next, we have applied our new computational method to follow the time evolution of a circular, equal-mass, nonspinning black hole binary for ∼200 orbits, starting from a separation of 20⁢𝑟 𝑔 and reaching the postmerger evolutionary stage of the system. We have shown how mass continues to flow toward the binary even after the binary “decouples” from its surrounding disk, but the accretion rate onto the black holes diminishes. We have identified how the minidisks orbiting each black hole are slowly drained and eventually dissolve as the binary compresses. We confirm previous findings that the system’s luminosity decreases by a factor of a few during inspiral; however, we observe an abrupt increase by ∼50% in this quantity at the time of merger, likely accompanied by an equally abrupt change in spectrum. Lastly, we have demonstrated that during the inspiral, fluid ram pressure regulates the fraction of the magnetic flux transported to the binary that attaches to the black holes’ horizons.

Constraints on 5 f -electron magnetism in Ga-stabilized $δ$-Pu from x-ray magnetic circular dichroism

Density-functional theory models of δ-Pu accurately predict crystal structure, phonon density of states, and unit cell volumes but require magnetic degrees of freedom which have never been experimentally verified. Some models invoke an on-site cancellation of spin and orbital moments, engendering a near-zero bulk magnetization, undetectable by most probes. Here, we employ x-ray magnetic circular dichroism at the Pu M 4,5 edges to directly probe spin and orbital moments using the magneto-optical sum rules. The data show no dichroism within experimental error, constraining polarized moments at 6 T and 3 K to μ L,S <0.1⁢μ B . Finally, these experiments point to the absence of even unconventional spin-orbit compensated order in δ-Pu.

Chirality in the Kagome Metal CsV 3 ⁢Sb 5

Using x-ray photoelectron diffraction (XPD) and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we study photoemission intensity changes related to changes in the geometric and electronic structure in the kagome metal CsV 3 ⁢Sb 5 upon transition to an unconventional charge density wave (CDW) state. The XPD patterns reveal the presence of a chiral atomic structure in the CDW phase. Furthermore, using circularly polarized x-rays, we have found a pronounced nontrivial circular dichroism in the angular distribution of the valence band photoemission in the CDW phase, indicating a chirality of the electronic structure. This observation is consistent with the proposed orbital loop current order. In view of a negligible spontaneous Kerr signal in recent magneto-optical studies, the results suggest an antiferromagnetic coupling of the orbital magnetic moments along the 𝑐 axis. Here, while the inherent structural chirality may also induce circular dichroism, the observed asymmetry values seem to be too large in the case of the weak structural distortions caused by the CDW.

Dynamical Generation of Higher-Order Spin-Orbit Coupling, Topology, and Persistent Spin Texture in Light-Irradiated Altermagnets

Altermagnets have been identified as the third category of magnetic materials, exhibiting momentum-dependent spin splitting characterized by even powers of momentum. Here, in this Letter, we show that when subjected to elliptically polarized light, these materials serve as an exemplary framework for the dynamic generation of topological bands featuring higher-order spin-orbit coupling (SOC). Notably, while the generated Zeeman field remains invariant to the particular altermagnetic ordering, the induced higher-order SOCs are related to the magnitude and symmetry of the altermagnetic order. Specifically, we show that an altermagnet exhibiting 𝐤 2⁢𝑛 -spin splitting can generate odd-in-𝐤 spin-orbit couplings up to 𝐤 2⁢𝑛−1 . In the limit of circularly polarized light, the only correction is 𝑘 2⁢𝑛−1 , with all lower-order contributions being nullified. Interestingly, light-induced SOCs significantly impact the low-energy band topology, where their Chern numbers change by Δ⁢𝐶 = ±1, 2, 3 for 𝑑, 𝑔, 𝑖-wave altermagnets. Finally, we find a critical field in which a persistent spin texture is realized, a highly desirable state with predicted infinite spin lifetime. Our Letter showcases light as a powerful, controllable tool for engineering complex and exciting phenomena in altermagnets.

Orbital Inverse Faraday and Cotton-Mouton Effects in Hall Fluids

We report two light-induced orbital magnetization effects in quantum Hall (QH) fluids, stemming from their transverse response. The first is a purely transverse contribution to the inverse Faraday effect (IFE), where circularly polarized light induces a dc magnetization by stirring the charged fluid. This contribution dominates the IFE in the QH regime. The second is the orbital inverse Cotton-Mouton effect (ICME), in which linearly polarized light generates a dc magnetization. Since the applied field in the ICME does not break time-reversal symmetry, the induced magnetization directly probes the chiral orbital response of the fluid at the driving frequency. We estimate that the resulting magnetization lies in the range of 0.5–10 Bohr magnetons per charge carrier in materials such as graphene and transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) in the QH regime. Finally, we show that the induced magnetization is accompanied by a local correction to the static particle density, enabling optical quantum printing of density profiles into the QH fluid.

Optical control of orbital magnetism in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene

Flat bands in twisted graphene structures host various strongly correlated and topological phenomena. Optically probing and controlling them can reveal important information such as symmetry and dynamics, but this has been challenging due to the small energy gap compared with optical wavelengths. Here, in this study, we report on the near-infrared optical control of orbital magnetism and associated anomalous Hall effects in a magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene on a monolayer WSe 2 device. We demonstrate control over the hysteresis and amplitude of the anomalous Hall effect near integer moiré fillings using circularly polarized light. By modulating the light helicity, we observe periodic modulation of the transverse resistance in a wide range of fillings, indicating light-induced orbital magnetization through a large inverse Faraday effect. At the transition between metallic and anomalous Hall effect regimes, we also reveal large and random switching of the Hall resistivity, which we attribute to the light-tuned percolating cluster of magnetic domains. Our results demonstrate the potential of the optical manipulation of correlation and topology in moiré structures.

Large inverse Faraday effect for Rydberg states of free atoms and isolated donors in semiconductors

We report on the induction of magnetization in Rydberg systems by means of the inverse Faraday effect and propose the appearance of the effect in two such systems: Rydberg atoms proper and shallow dopants in semiconductors. Rydberg atoms are characterized by a large orbital radius. This large radius gives such excited states a large angular moment, which when driven with circularly polarized light translates to a large effective magnetic field $\mathscr{B}$ eff . We calculate this effect to generate effective magnetic fields of O⁡(1⁢ µ⁢T)×($\frac{ω}{1THz}$) -1 ⁢ ($\frac{\mathscr{I}}{10Wcm^{-2}}$)⁢n 4 in the Rydberg states of atoms such as Rb and Cs for off-resonant photon beams with frequency ω and intensity $\mathscr{I}$ expressed in units of the denominators and n the principal quantum number. Additionally, terahertz spectroscopy of phosphorus-doped silicon reveals a large cross section for excitation of shallow dopants to Rydberg-like states, which even for small n have the potential to be driven similarly with circularly polarized light to produce an even larger magnetization. Our theoretical calculations estimate $\mathscr{B}$ eff as O⁡(10 2 T) for Si:P with a beam intensity of 10 8 Wcm -2 .

Exploring magnetic anisotropy and robustness of the J eff = 1/2 state under substantial orthorhombic distortion in Sr 2 IrO 4 thin films

Here, we present a comprehensive study revealing the intricate interplay of the magnetic anisotropy and orthorhombic distortion in thin films of Sr 2 IrO 4 through a Ca 3 Ru 2 O 7 substrate. By inducing a pronounced orthorhombic distortion along the direction of oxygen octahedral edges, we effectively modulated the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy in the system. Remarkably divergent responses along the easy and hard magnetic axes were unveiled through x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements under magnetic fields. Specifically, the spin flop transition observed when the magnetic field aligns with the hard axis allows us to estimate the magnetic anisotropy energy, which is around 14.2 µeV, close to that estimated from the single magnon peak measured via Raman spectroscopy. The observed anisotropy energy remains notably lower than the linear estimates derived from the strain-anisotropy energy relationship outlined in H.-H. Kim et al., Nat. Commun. 13, 6674 (2022). This underscores the enduring preservation of the isotropic character of the J eff = 1/2 states. This is also supported by the negligible XMCD intensity ratio at the L 2 edge compared to that of the L 3 edge. Furthermore, the branching ratio determined from x-ray absorption spectroscopy shows that the expectation value of the spin-orbit coupling is similar to that of bulk Sr 2 IrO 4 single crystals. Our findings indicate that even under a substantial anisotropic biaxial distortion, Sr 2 IrO 4 remains remarkably proximate to the J eff = 1/2 state. This study not only provides valuable information in understanding the interplay between magnetic anisotropy and strain but also the robustness of the J eff = 1/2 state under octahedral distortion within materials exhibiting emergent quantum phenomena.

Controlling the helicity of light by electrical magnetization switching

Controlling the intensity of emitted light and charge current is the basis of transferring and processing information. By contrast, robust information storage and magnetic random-access memories are implemented using the spin of the carrier and the associated magnetization in ferromagnets. In this study, the missing link between the respective disciplines of photonics, electronics and spintronics is to modulate the circular polarization of the emitted light, rather than its intensity, by electrically controlled magnetization. Here we demonstrate that this missing link is established at room temperature and zero applied magnetic field in light-emitting diodes through the transfer of angular momentum between photons, electrons and ferromagnets. With spin-orbit torque a charge current generates also a spin current to electrically switch the magnetization. This switching determines the spin orientation of injected carriers into semiconductors, in which the transfer of angular momentum from the electron spin to photon controls the circular polarization of the emitted light. The spin-photon conversion with the nonvolatile control of magnetization opens paths to seamlessly integrate information transfer, processing and storage. Our results provide substantial advances towards electrically controlled ultrafast modulation of circular polarization and spin injection with magnetization dynamics for the next-generation information and communication technology, including space-light data transfer. The same operating principle in scaled-down structures or using two-dimensional materials will enable transformative opportunities for quantum information processing with spin-controlled single-photon sources, as well as for implementing spin-dependent time-resolved spectroscopies.

Optical spin hall effect in exciton–polariton condensates in lead halide perovskite microcavities

An exciton–polariton condensate is a hybrid light–matter state in the quantum fluid phase. The photonic component endows it with characters of spin, as represented by circular polarization. Spin-polarization can form stochastically for quasi-equilibrium exciton–polariton condensates at parallel momentum vector k|| ∼ 0 from bifurcation or deterministically for propagating condensates at k|| > 0 from the optical spin-Hall effect (OSHE). Here, we report deterministic spin-polarization in exciton–polariton condensates at k|| ∼ 0 in microcavities containing methylammonium lead bromide perovskite (CH3NH3PbBr3) single crystals under non-resonant and linearly polarized excitation. We observe two energetically split condensates with opposite circular polarizations and attribute this observation to the presence of strong birefringence, which introduces a large OSHE at k|| ∼ 0 and pins the condensates in a particular spin state. Such spin-polarized exciton–polariton condensates may serve not only as circularly polarized laser sources but also as effective alternatives to ultracold atom Bose–Einstein condensates in quantum simulators of many-body spin–orbit coupling processes.

MnBi 2 Is a Permanent Magnet

Creating and understanding new permanent magnets requires an understanding of the impact of orbital angular momentum on coercivity. A simple approach to interrogating this relationship is by incorporating high Z (where Z is the atomic number) elements into binary compounds to maximize spin–orbit coupling. The Mn–Bi system is an appealing platform for these studies since it contains MnBi, a permanent magnet with a large coercive field. We previously identified a new compound in the Mn–Bi system, MnBi 2 , but could not elucidate its magnetic properties ex situ due to its decomposition upon decompression. Here, we harnessed synchrotron X-ray magnetic circular dichroism to probe the magnetism of MnBi 2 at high pressure within a diamond anvil cell. Our results indicate that MnBi 2 exhibits ferromagnetic hysteresis at both 10 K and room temperature. Through calculations and experiments, we show that orbital angular momentum and spin–orbit coupling from Bi impart magnetic anisotropy in MnBi 2 . Comparing the Mn–Bi family of compounds, we consider the Bi p and d orbitals to explain the differences in magnetic behavior within the system. Collectively, these results validate leveraging high-Z elements in the synthesis of new hard permanent magnets.

Engineering exchange bias at the interface of self-polarized ultrathin ferroelectric Ba⁢Ti⁢O 3 and ferromagnetic La 0.67⁢ Sr 0.33 ⁢Mn⁢O 3

We investigate the emergence and optimization of conventional exchange bias (EB) in ultrathin (<10 nm) ferroelectric (FE) Ba⁢Ti⁢O 3 (BTO)/ferromagnetic (FM) La 0.67 ⁢Sr 0.33⁢ Mn⁢O 3 (LSMO) epitaxial bilayers without an antiferromagnetic (AFM) material. The EB originates from the electronic orbital reconstruction at the FE-FM interface due to the ferroelectric polarization. We achieve maximum EB of approximately 42 Oe with single-domain polarization in nine-unit-cell-thick BTO, setting the BTO thickness above the critical threshold for ferroelectricity yet below the thickness of strain relaxation and multidomain breakdown. Furthermore, the LSMO layer needs to be thick enough to sustain both the FM layer and polarization-induced AFM spin configuration at the LSMO/BTO interface, yet as thin as possible to enable the EB loop shift. The temperature, training, field, and thickness dependence of the EB confirm that the LSMO/BTO interface exhibits conventional EB despite its unconventional origin. Using x-ray magnetic circular dichroism, scanning transmission electron microscopy, and density-functional-theory calculations, we confirm that the macroscopic EB effect originates from the interfacial AFM spin configuration in LSMO driven by FE-induced d-orbital modifications in interfacial Mn ions. Thus, we engineer strong interfacial EB coupling in artificial multiferroics without a conventional AFM material by controlling FE polarization, highlighting the potential for advanced spintronic applications.

Inhomogeneity in electronic phase and flat band in magnetic kagome metal Co 3 Sn 2 S 2

Co 3 Sn 2 S 2 has been reported to be a Weyl semimetal with c-axis ferromagnetism below a Curie temperature of 177 K. Despite the large interest in Co 3 Sn 2 S 2 , the magnetic structure is still unclear. Recent studies have challenged the magnetic phase diagram of Co 3 Sn 2 S 2 by reporting unusual magnetic phases including the presence of exchange bias. Here we show, using X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism, a shift in the magnetization hysteresis loop, reminiscent of exchange bias and establish that the magnetic moment in Co arises from the spin, with negligible orbital moment. At 6 K, using spatially-resolved angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we detect a butterfly-shaped electronic band structure at small regions of the sample distinct from the known ferromagnetic band structure. Our density functional theory calculations suggest that the butterfly bands correspond to an antiferromagnetic phase. Separately, we detect a sharp flat band at the Fermi level at some regions in the sample, which we attribute to a surface state. These different electronic states found in a stoichiometric intermetallic invite further efforts to explore the origin and nature of the electronic inhomogeneity associated to magnetism on the mesoscale.

Experimental confirmation of the magnetic ordering transition induced by an electronic structure change in the metallic triangular antiferromagnet Co 1/3⁢ TaS 2

We report angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) studies combined with DFT+DMFT calculations to confirm that the magnetic ordering vector transition from Q=(1/2,0,0) to Q=(1/3,0,0) in the metallic triangular antiferromagnets Co 1/3±𝜀⁢ TaS 2 (𝜀 ≈ 0.007) is induced by the electronic structure change in the system. The ARPES-measured Fermi surface (FS) maps of Co 0.325 ⁢TaS 2 show two hexagonal and one circular holelike FSs around Γ, which matches well with the triple- Q state by taking into account the contribution of nesting vectors occurring between Co 3⁢𝑑 and Ta 5⁢𝑑 orbitals. In the case of Co 0.340 ⁢TaS 2 , a new electron pocket around K appears, and the FS geometry changes as a result of the correlation effect of Co 4 ⁢S 18 tripods forming in the system. The magnetic susceptibility calculations based on the charge-self-consistent DFT+DMFT band structures and the random phase approximation indicate that the most stable magnetic ordering vector (1/2,0,0) split into (1/6,0,0) and (1/2,0,0), which is consistent with the magnetic phase transition around 𝑥=1/3 in Co 𝑥 ⁢TaS 2 .

Probabilistic inference of the structure and orbit of Milky Way satellites with semi-analytic modelling

Semi-analytic modelling furnishes an efficient avenue for characterizing dark matter haloes associated with satellites of Milky Way-like systems, as it easily accounts for uncertainties arising from halo-to-halo variance, the orbital disruption of satellites, baryonic feedback, and the stellar-to-halo mass (SMHM) relation. We use the SatGen semi-analytic satellite generator, which incorporates both empirical models of the galaxy–halo connection as well as analytic prescriptions for the orbital evolution of these satellites after accretion onto a host to create large samples of Milky Way-like systems and their satellites. By selecting satellites in the sample that match observed properties of a particular dwarf galaxy, we can infer arbitrary properties of the satellite galaxy within the cold dark matter paradigm. For the Milky Way’s classical dwarfs, we provide inferred values (with associated uncertainties) for the maximum circular velocity v max and the radius r max at which it occurs, varying over two choices of baryonic feedback model and two prescriptions for the SMHM relation. While simple empirical scaling relations can recover the median inferred value for v max and r max , this approach provides realistic correlated uncertainties and aids interpretability. We also demonstrate how the internal properties of a satellite’s dark matter profile correlate with its orbit, and we show that it is difficult to reproduce observations of the Fornax dwarf without strong baryonic feedback. Furthermore, the technique developed in this work is flexible in its application of observational data and can leverage arbitrary information about the satellite galaxies to make inferences about their dark matter haloes and population statistics.
