Complete field-induced spectral response of the spin-1/2 triangular-lattice antiferromagnet CsYbSe2
Fifty years after Anderson’s resonating valence-bond proposal, the spin-1/2 triangular-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet (TLHAF) remains the ultimate platform to explore highly entangled quantum spin states in proximity to magnetic order. Yb-based delafossites are ideal candidate TLHAF materials, which allow experimental access to the full range of applied in-plane magnetic fields. We perform a systematic neutron scattering study of CsYbSe2, first proving the Heisenberg character of the interactions and quantifying the second-neighbor coupling. We then measure the complex evolution of the excitation spectrum, finding extensive continuum features near the 120°-ordered state, throughout the 1/3-magnetization plateau and beyond this up to saturation. We perform cylinder matrix-product-state (MPS) calculations to obtain an unbiased numerical benchmark for the TLHAF and spectacular agreement with the experimental spectra. The measured and calculated longitudinal spectral functions reflect the role of multi-magnon bound and scattering states. These results provide valuable insight into unconventional field-induced spin excitations in frustrated quantum materials
On Variational Problem with Nonstandard Growth Conditions for the Restoration of Clouds Corrupted Satellite Images
Sensitivity to weather conditions, and specially to clouds, is a severe limiting factor to the use of optical remote sensing for Earth monitoring applications. Typically, the optical satellite images are often corrupted because of poor weather conditions. As a rule, the measure of degradation of optical images is such that one can not rely even on the brightness inside of the damaged regions. As a result, some subdomains of such images become absolutely invisible. So, there is a risk of information loss in optical remote sensing data. In view of this, we propose a new variational approach for exact restoration of multispectral satellite optical images. We discuss the consistency of the proposed variational model, give the scheme for its regularization, derive the corresponding optimality system, and discuss the algorithm for the practical implementation of the reconstruction procedure. Experimental results are very promising and they show a significant gain over baseline methods using the reconstruction through linear interpolation between data available at temporally-close time instants. © 2021 Copyright for this paper by its authors

Absence of hexagonal-to-square lattice transition in LiFeAs vortex matter
We investigated magnetic vortices in two stoichiometric LiFeAs samples by means of scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. The vortices were revealed by measuring the local electronic density of states at zero bias conductance of samples in magnetic fields between 0.5 and 12 T. From single vortex spectroscopy we extract the Ginzburg-Landau coherence length of both samples as 4.4±0.5 nm and 4.1±0.5 nm, in accordance with previous findings. However, in contrast to previous reports, our study reveals that the reported hexagonal-to-squarelike vortex lattice transition is absent up to 12 T both in field-cooling and zero-field-cooling processes. Remarkably, a highly ordered zero-field-cooled hexagonal vortex lattice is observed up to 8 T. We argue that several factors are likely to determine the structure of the vortex lattice in LiFeAs such as (i) details of the cooling procedure, (ii) sample stoichiometry that alters the formation of nematic fluctuations, (iii) details of the order parameter, and (iv) magnetoelastic coupling. © 2022 American Physical Society
Field-angle dependence reveals odd-parity superconductivity in CeRhAs
CeRhAs is an unconventional superconductor with multiple
superconducting phases and K. When , it
shows a field-induced transition at T from a low-field
superconducting state SC1 to a high-field state SC2 with a large critical field
of T. In contrast, for , only the SC1 with
T is observed. A simple model based on the crystal
symmetry was able to reproduce the phase-diagrams and their anisotropy,
identifying SC1 and SC2 with even and odd parity superconducting states,
respectively. However, additional orders were observed in the normal state
which might have an influence on the change of the superconducting state at
. Here, we present a comprehensive study of the angle dependence of the
upper critical fields using magnetic ac-susceptibility, specific heat and
torque on single crystals of CeRhAs. The experiments show that the
state SC2 is strongly suppressed when rotating the magnetic field away from the
axis and it disappears for an angle of 35. This behavior agrees
perfectly with our extended model of a pseudospin triplet state with
vector in the plane and hence allows to nail down that SC2 is indeed the
suggested odd-parity state.Comment: 11 pages, 9 figure
