Deconfined quantum criticality in a frustrated Haldane chain with single-ion anisotropy

Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Niels T. Pronk, Bowy M. La Rivière, Natalia Chepiga, , | Summary: We report a phase diagram of the antiferromagnetic spin-1 chain with nearest-neighbor Heisenberg and three-site interactions in the presence of single-ion anisotropy. We show that the Gaussian and Ising transitions that separate the topological Haldane […]

The Origin of the Gas and Its Low Star Formation Efficiency in Quiescent Galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Yang A. Li, Luis C. Ho, Jinyi Shangguan, Zhao-Yu Li, Yingjie Peng | Summary: Quiescent galaxies (QGs) typically have little cold gas to form stars. The discovery of gas-rich QGs challenges our conventional understanding of the evolutionary paths of galaxies. We take advantage of a new […]

The reliability of hybrid functionals for accurate fundamental and optical gap prediction of bulk solids and surfaces

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Francisca Sagredo, María Camarasa-Gómez, Francesco Ricci, Aurélie Champagne, Leeor Kronik | Summary: Hybrid functionals have been considered insufficiently reliable for the prediction of band gaps in solids and surfaces. We revisit this issue with a new generation of optimally-tuned range-separated hybrid functionals, focusing on the reconstructed […]
