With infrared spectroscopy, we studied the bulk electronic properties of the topological antiferromagnet MnBi2Te4 with TN ≃ 25 K. With the support of band-structure calculations, we assign the intra- and interband excitations and determine the band gap of Eg ≈ 0.17 eV. We also obtain evidence for two types of conduction bands with light and very heavy carriers. The multiband free-carrier...

Muon spin rotation and infrared spectroscopy study of Ba$_{1-x}$Na$_{x}$Fe$_{2}$As$_{2}$

Sheveleva, Evgeniia ; Xu, Bing ; Marsik, Premysl ; Lyzwa, Fryderyk ; Mallett, Benjamin P. P. ; Willa, K. ; Meingast, C. ; Wolf, Th. ; Shevtsova, T. ; Pashkevich, Yu. G. ; Bernhard, Christian

In: Physical Review B, 2020, vol. 101, no. 22, p. 224515

The magnetic and superconducting properties of a series of underdoped Ba 1 − x Na x Fe 2 As 2 (BNFA) single crystals with 0.19 ≤ x ≤ 0.34 have been investigated with the complementary muon-spin-rotation ( μ SR ) and infrared spectroscopy techniques. The focus has been on the different antiferromagnetic states in the underdoped regime and their competition with superconductivity,...

Nonthermal excitonic condensation near a spin-state transition

Werner, Philipp ; Murakami, Yuta

In: Physical Review B, 2020, vol. 102, no. 2020-24, p. 241103

Recent experiments demonstrate the induction of long-range order in correlated electron systems via external perturbations, which calls for a better understanding of nonthermal ordered states and nonequilibrium symmetry breaking. Here, we reveal a mechanism based on entropy cooling and entropy trapping in a strongly correlated multiorbital system. We consider a two-orbital Hubbard model with...

Ultrafast coupled charge and spin dynamics in strongly correlated NiO

Gillmeister, Konrad ; Golež, Denis ; Chiang, Cheng-Tien ; Bittner, Nikolaj ; Pavlyukh, Yaroslav ; Berakdar, Jamal ; Werner, Philipp ; Widdra, Wolf

In: Nature Communications, 2020, vol. 11, no. 1, p. 4095

Charge excitations across an electronic band gap play an important role in opto- electronics and light harvesting. In contrast to conventional semiconductors, studies of above-band-gap photoexcitations in strongly correlated materials are still in their infancy. Here we reveal the ultrafast dynamics controlled by Hund’s physics in strongly correlated photoexcited NiO. By combining...

High-harmonic generation in spin-orbit coupled systems

Lysne, Markus ; Murakami, Yuta ; Schüler, Michael ; Werner, Philipp

In: Physical Review B, 2020, vol. 102, no. 8, p. 081121

We study high-harmonic generation in two-dimensional electron systems with Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling and derive harmonic generation selection rules with the help of group theory. Based on the band structures of these minimal models and explicit simulations we reveal how the spin-orbit parameters control the cutoff energy in the high-harmonic spectrum. We also show that the...

Entropy and specific heat of the infinite-dimensional three-orbital Hubbard model

Yue, Changming ; Werner, Philipp

In: Physical Review B, 2020, vol. 102, no. 8, p. 085102

The Hund's coupling in multiorbital Hubbard systems induces spin freezing and associated Hund metal behavior. Using dynamical mean-field theory, we explore the effect of local moment formation, spin, and charge excitations on the entropy and specific heat of the three-orbital model. For fillings 2≲n<3 and low temperature, we demonstrate a substantial enhancement of the entropy in the...
