Quantum Monte Carlo study of superfluid density in quasi-one-dimensional hard-core bosons: Effect of suppression of phase slippage

We study the superfluid density of hard-core bosons on quasi-one-dimensional lattices using the quantum Monte Carlo method. Because of phase slippage, the superfluid density drops quickly to zero at finite temperatures with increasing the system length $\ell$ and the superfluid transition temperature is zero in one spatial dimension and also in quasi-one dimension in the limit of $\ell\rightarrow\infty$. We calculate the superfluid density of a model where no phase slippage is allowed and show that the superfluid density remains finite at finite temperatures even in the one-dimensional limit. We also discuss how finite superfluid density can be observed in a quasi-one-dimensional system using a torsional oscillator.

Intrinsic Spin Hall Effect in s-wave Superconducting State: Analysis of Rashba Model

A general expression for the spin Hall conductivity (SHC) in the s-wave superconducting state at finite temperatures is derived. Based on the expression, we study the SHC in a two-dimensional electron gas model in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit interaction (SOI). The SHC is zero in the normal state, whereas it takes a large negative value as soon as the superconductivity occurs, due to the change in the quasiparticle contributions. Since this remarkable behavior is independent of the strength of the SOI, it will be widely observed in thin films of superconductors with surface-induced Rashba SOI, or in various non-centrosymmetric superconductors.

Giant Orbital Hall Effect in Transition Metals: Origin of Large Spin and Anomalous Hall Effects

In transition metals and their compounds, the orbital degrees of freedom gives rise to an orbital current, in addition to the ordinary spin and charge currents. We reveal that considerably large spin and anomalous Hall effects (SHE and AHE) observed in transition metals originate from an orbital Hall effect (OHE). To elucidate the origin of these novel Hall effects, a simple periodic s-d hybridization model is proposed as a generic model. The giant positive OHE originates from the orbital Aharonov-Bohm phase factor, and induces spin Hall conductivity that is proportional to the spin-orbit polarization at the Fermi level, which is positive (negative) in metals with more than (less than) half-filling.

Study of Intrinsic Spin Hall Effect and Orbital Hall Effect in 4d- and 5d- Transition Metals

We study the intrinsic spin Hall conductivity (SHC) in various $5d$-transition metals (Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, and Au) and 4d-transition metals (Nb, Mo, Tc, Ru, Rh, Pd, and Ag) based on the Naval Research Laboratory tight-binding model, which enables us to perform quantitatively reliable analysis. In each metal, the obtained intrinsic SHC is independent of resistivity in the low resistive regime ($ρ< 50 μΩ\text{cm}$) whereas it decreases in proportion to $ρ^{-2}$ in the high resistive regime. In the low resistive regime, the SHC takes a large positive value in Pt and Pd, both of which have approximately nine $d$-electrons per ion ($n_d=9$). On the other hand, the SHC takes a large negative value in Ta, Nb, W, and Mo where $n_d<5$. In transition metals, a conduction electron acquires the trajectory-dependent phase factor that originates from the atomic wavefunction. This phase factor, which is reminiscent of the Aharonov-Bohm phase, is the origin of the SHC in paramagnetic metals and that of the anomalous Hall conductivity in ferromagnetic metals. Furthermore, each transition metal shows huge and positive $d$-orbital Hall conductivity (OHC), independently of the strength of the spin-orbit interaction (SOI). Since the OHC is much larger than the SHC, it will be possible to realize a {\it orbitronics device} made of transition metals.

Giant Intrinsic Spin and Orbital Hall Effects in Sr2MO4 (M=Ru,Rh,Mo)

We investigate the intrinsic spin Hall conductivity (SHC) and the d-orbital Hall conductivity (OHC) in metallic d-electron systems, by focusing on the t_{2g}-orbital tight-binding model for Sr2MO4 (M=Ru,Rh,Mo). The conductivities obtained are one or two orders of magnitude larger than predicted values for p-type semiconductors with 5% hole doping. The origin of these giant Hall effects is the ``effective Aharonov-Bohm phase'' that is induced by the d-atomic angular momentum in connection with the spin-orbit interaction and the inter-orbital hopping integrals. The huge SHC and OHC generated by this mechanism are expected to be ubiquitous in multiorbital transition metal complexes, which pens the possibility of realizing spintronics as well as orbitronics devices.

Study of intrinsic spin and orbital Hall effects in Pt based on a (6s, 6p, 5d) tight-binding model

We study the origin of the intrinsic spin Hall conductivity (SHC) and the d-orbital Hall conductivity (OHC) in Pt based on a multiorbital tight-binding model with spin-orbit interaction. We find that the SHC reaches 1000 \hbar/eΩcm when the resistivity ρis smaller than ~10 μΩcm, whereas it decreases to 300 \hbar/eΩcm when ρ~ 100 μΩcm. In addition, the OHC is still larger than the SHC. The origin of huge SHE and OHE in Pt is the large ``effective magnetic flux'' that is induced by the interorbital transition between d_{xy}- and d_{x2-y2}-orbitals with the aid of the strong spin-orbit interaction.

Spin Hall effect in Sr2RuO4 and transition metals (Nb,Ta)

We study the intrinsic spin Hall conductivity (SHC) and the $d$-orbital Hall conductivity (OHC) in metallic $d$-electron systems based on the multiorbital tight-binding model. The obtained Hall conductivities are much larger than that in $p$-type semiconductors. The origin of these huge Hall effects is the "effective Aharonov-Bohm phase" induced by the signs of inter-orbital hopping integrals as well as atomic spin-orbit interaction. Huge SHC and OHC due to this mecahnism is ubiquitous in multiorbital transition metals.
