Phonon Hall viscosity from phonon-spinon interactions
@article{Zhang2021PhononHV, title={Phonon Hall viscosity from phonon-spinon interactions}, author={Yunchao Zhang and Yanting Teng and Rhine Samajdar and Subir Sachdev and Mathias S. Scheurer}, journal={Physical Review B}, year={2021} }
Motivated by experimental observations, Samajdar et al. [Nature Physics 15, 1290 (2019)] have proposed that the insulating Néel state in the parent compounds of the cuprates is proximate to a quantum phase transition to a state in which Néel order coexists with semion topological order. We study the manner in which proximity to this transition can make the phonons chiral, by inducing a significant phonon Hall viscosity. We describe the spinon-phonon coupling in a lattice spinon model coupled to…

Because electrons and ions form a coupled system, it is a priori clear that the dynamics of the lattice should reflect symmetry breaking within the electronic degrees of freedom. Recently, this has…

The nature of the pseudogap phase of cuprates remains a major puzzle1,2. One of its signatures is a large negative thermal Hall conductivity3, whose origin is as yet unknown. This is observed even in…

The findings point to a chiral mechanism coming from a coupling of acoustic phonons to the intrinsic excitations of the CuO2 planes, and it is revealed that orthorhombicity, apical oxygens, the tilting of oxygen octahedra and the canting of spins out of the Appleton planes are not essential to the mechanism of chirality.
