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 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 […]

The dearth of high-mass hydrogen-atmosphere metal-polluted white dwarfs within 40 pc

Kavli Affiliate: David Charbonneau | First 5 Authors: Tim Cunningham, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Mairi O’Brien, Evan B. Bauer, Mark A. Hollands | Summary: We present a population synthesis model which addresses the different mass distributions of the metal-polluted and non-metal-polluted hydrogen-atmosphere white dwarfs identified in volume-limited samples. Specifically, metal-pollution has been observed to be rare in […]
