We present a study of the charge-transfer excitations in undoped Nd2CuO4 using resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) at the Cu K-edge. At the Brillouin zone center, azimuthal scans that rotate the incident-photon polarization within the CuO2 planes reveal weak fourfold oscillations. A comparison of spectra taken in different Brillouin zones reveals a spectral weight decrease at high energy loss from forward- to back-scattering. We show that these are scattered-photon polarization effects related to the properties of the observed electronic excitations. Each of the two effects constitutes about 10% of the inelastic signal while the 4p-as-spectator approximation describes the remaining 80%. Raman selection rules can accurately model our data, and we conclude that the observed polarization-dependent RIXS features correspond to Eg and B1g charge-transfer excitations to non-bonding oxygen 2p bands, above 2.5 eV energy-loss, and to an Eg d->d excitation at 1.65 eV.

The polarization of K-edge resonant scattering at the space group ``forbidden (0 0 6) reflection of Ge was measured as function of the azimuthal angle, psi. The experimental results are compared to model calculations based on symmetry analysis of the resonant scattering tensors.
We apply the recently formulated torque equilibrium spin wave theory (TESWT) to compute the $1/S$-order interacting $K$ -edge bimagnon resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra of an anisotropic triangular lattice antiferromagnet with Dzyalo
shinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction. We extend the interacting torque equilibrium formalism, incorporating the effects of DM interaction, to appropriately account for the zero-point quantum fluctuation that manifests as the emergence of spin Casimir effect in a noncollinear spin spiral state. Using inelastic neutron scattering data from Cs$_2$CuCl$_4$ we fit the 1/S corrected TESWT dispersion to extract exchange and DM interaction parameters. We use these new fit coefficients alongside other relevant model parameters to investigate, compare, and contrast the effects of spatial anisotropy and DM interaction on the RIXS spectra at various points across the magnetic Brillouin zone. We highlight the key features of the bi- and trimagnon RIXS spectrum at the two inequivalent rotonlike points, $M(0,2 pi/sqrt{3})$ and $M^{prime}(pi,pi/sqrt{3})$, whose behavior is quite different from an isotropic triangular lattice system. While the roton RIXS spectrum at the $M$ point undergoes a spectral downshift with increasing anisotropy, the peak at the $M^prime$ location loses its spectral strength without any shift. With the inclusion of DM interaction the spiral phase is more stable and the peak at both $M$ and $M^prime$ point exhibits a spectral upshift. Our calculation offers a practical example of how to calculate interacting RIXS spectra in a non-collinear quantum magnet using TESWT. Our findings provide an opportunity to experimentally test the predictions of interacting TESWT formalism using RIXS, a spectroscopic method currently in vogue.
Superconductivity is a phenomenon where the macroscopic quantum coherence appears due to the pairing of electrons. This offers a fascinating arena to study the physics of broken gauge symmetry. However, the important symmetries in superconductors are
not only the gauge invariance. Especially, the symmetry properties of the pairing, i.e., the parity and spin-singlet/spin-triplet, determine the physical properties of the superconducting state. Recently it has been recognized that there is the important third symmetry of the pair amplitude, i.e., even or odd parity with respect to the frequency. The conventional uniform superconducting states correspond to the even-frequency pairing, but the recent finding is that the odd-frequency pair amplitude arises in the spatially non-uniform situation quite ubiquitously. Especially, this is the case in the Andreev bound state (ABS) appearing at the surface/interface of the sample. The other important recent development is on the nontrivial topological aspects of superconductors. As the band insulators are classified by topological indices into (i) conventional insulator, (ii) quantum Hall insulator, and (iii) topological insulator, also are the gapped superconductors. The influence of the nontrivial topology of the bulk states appears as the edge or surface of the sample. In the superconductors, this leads to the formation of zero energy ABS (ZEABS). Therefore, the ABSs of the superconductors are the place where the symmetry and topology meet each other which offer the stage of rich physics. In this review, we discuss the physics of ABS from the viewpoint of the odd-frequency pairing, the topological bulk-edge correspondence, and the interplay of these two issues. It is described how the symmetry of the pairing and topological indices determines the absence/presence of the ZEABS, its energy dispersion, and properties as the Majorana fermions.
We compute the $K$ and $L_{3}$ -edge resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectrum of the columnar and the staggered quantum dimer states accessible to the square lattice Heisenberg magnet. Utilizing a bond operator representation mean field th
eory we investigate the RIXS features of the one- and two-triplon excitation spectrum supported by the quantum dimer model in the background of condensed singlet excitation. We find that the two-triplon excitation boundary lies within a 124 (78) meV to (414) 345 meV energy range for the columnar (staggered) phase. We estimated the two-triplon gap to be 124 (78) meV for the columnar (staggered) dimer phase. The highest intensity of the $K$ -edge RIXS spectrum is centralized approximately around the $(pi/2,pi/2)$ point for both the columnar and the staggered phases. At the $L_{3}$ -edge we study the one- and two- triplon signal considering experimental scattering geometry, polarization restriction, and experimental resolution effects. Our calculations find an additional contribution to the two-triplon RIXS signal, not previously reported in the literature, that originates from the local hard-core dimer constraint. This leads to a finite non-zero signal at the (0,0) momentum transfer which can offer an explanation for the existing ladder RIXS experiments and also predicts a non-zero signal for the two-dimensional quantum dimer system. We find that the $L_3$ edge RIXS response of the one- and two-triplon signal could exist in antiphase rung modulation for zero and $pi$ as found in inelastic neutron scattering. We also consider static crystal twinning at the $L_3$ -edge RIXS signal to mimic realistic crystal effects. Since the disordered phase has the potential to harbor a variety of quantum paramagnetic states, our RIXS calculations provide useful signatures to identify the true nature of the ordering pattern.
We investigate a paradigmatic case of topological superconductivity in a one-dimensional nanowire with $d-$orbitals and a strong interplay of spin-orbital degrees of freedom due to the competition of orbital Rashba interaction, atomic spin-orbit coup
ling, and structural distortions. We demonstrate that the resulting electronic structure exhibits an orbital dependent magnetic anisotropy which affects the topological phase diagram and the character of the Majorana bound states (MBSs). The inspection of the electronic component of the MBSs reveals that the spin-orbital polarization generally occurs along the direction of the applied Zeeeman magnetic field, and transverse to the magnetic and orbital Rashba fields. The competition of symmetric and antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling remarkably leads to a misalignment of the spin and orbital moments transverse to the orbital Rashba fields, whose manifestation is essentially orbital dependent. The behavior of the spin-orbital polarization along the applied Zeeman field reflects the presence of multiple Fermi points with inequivalent orbital character in the normal state. Additionally, the response to variation of the electronic parameters related with the degree of spin-orbital entanglement leads to distinctive evolution of the spin-orbital polarization of the MBSs. These findings unveil novel paths to single-out hallmarks relevant for the experimental detection of MBSs.
