Microscopic interplay of temperature and disorder of a one-dimensional elastic interface

Elastic interfaces display scale-invariant geometrical fluctuations at sufficiently large lengthscales. Their asymptotic static roughness then follows a power-law behavior, whose associated exponent provides a robust signature of the universality class to ...

From bulk descriptions to emergent interfaces: Connecting the Ginzburg-Landau and elastic-line models

Thierry Giamarchi, Elisabeth Agoritsas

Controlling interfaces is highly relevant from a technological point of view. However, their rich and complex behavior makes them very difficult to describe theoretically, and hence to predict. In this work, we establish a procedure to connect two levels o ...

Band Filling and Cross Quantum Capacitance in Ion-Gated Semiconducting Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Monolayers

Christophe Berthod, Helmuth Berger, Thierry Giamarchi, Haijing Zhang

Ionic liquid gated field-effect transistors (FETs) based on semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are used to study a rich variety of extremely interesting physical phenomena, but important aspects of how charge carriers are accumulated in ...

Tomonaga-Luttinger Liquid Spin Dynamics in the Quasi-One-Dimensional Ising-Like Antiferromagnet BaCo2V2O8

Thierry Giamarchi, Martin Mansson, Jonathan White, Gregory Scott Tucker, Christian Rüegg

Combining inelastic neutron scattering and numerical simulations, we study the quasi-one-dimensional Ising anisotropic quantum antiferromagnet BaCo2V2O8 in a longitudinal magnetic field. This material shows a quantum phase transition from a Neel ordered ph ...

Band and Correlated Insulators of Cold Fermions in a Mesoscopic Lattice

Jean-Philippe Brantut, Thierry Giamarchi, Samuel Häusler

We investigate the transport properties of neutral, fermionic atoms passing through a one-dimensional quantum wire containing a mesoscopic lattice. The lattice is realized by projecting individually controlled, thin optical barriers on top of a ballistic c ...

Filming the formation and fluctuation of skyrmion domains by cryo-Lorentz transmission electron microscopy

Marco Cantoni, Arnaud Magrez, Thierry Giamarchi, Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Fabrizio Carbone, Giulia Fulvia Mancini, Jonathan White, Edoardo Baldini, Ping Huang, Yoshie Murooka, Rajeswari Jayaraman, Tatiana Latychevskaia

Magnetic skyrmions are promising candidates as information carriers in logic or storage devices thanks to their robustness, guaranteed by the topological protection, and their nanometric size. Currently, little is known about the influence of parameters su ...

Matrix product state applications for the ALPS project

Sébastien Keller, Thierry Giamarchi, Timothée Ewart

The density-matrix renormalization group method has become a standard computational approach to the low-energy physics as well as dynamics of low-dimensional quantum systems. In this paper, we present a new set of applications, available as part of the ALP ...

Field-controlled magnetic order in the quantum spin-ladder system (Hpip)2CuBr4

Thierry Giamarchi, Bruce Normand, Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Pierre Bouillot, Joël Mesot, Daniel Biner, Christian Rüegg

Neutron diffraction is used to investigate the field-induced, antiferromagnetically ordered state in the two-leg spin-ladder material (Hpip)(2)CuBr4. This "classical" phase, a consequence of weak interladder coupling, is nevertheless highly unconventional: ...

Orbital Currents in Extended Hubbard Models of High-T-c Cuprate Superconductors

Cédric Weber, Frédéric Mila, Thierry Giamarchi

Motivated by the recent report of broken time-reversal symmetry and zero momentum magnetic scattering in underdoped cuprates, we investigate under which circumstances orbital currents circulating inside a unit cell might be stabilized in extended Hubbard m ...

Magnetism and superconductivity of strongly correlated electrons on the triangular lattice

Cédric Weber, Frédéric Mila, Thierry Giamarchi

We investigate the phase diagram of the t−J model on a triangular lattice using a variational Monte Carlo approach. We use an extended set of Gutzwiller projected fermionic trial wave functions allowing for simultaneous magnetic and superconducting order p ...
