It is shown that this dependence may drive the system unstable towards a long-wavelength charge density wave (CDW) where the associated second-order instability occurs in close vicinity to global phase separation. For very low electron densities the CDW instability is nesting-induced and the modulation follows the Fermi momentum kF. At higher density the instability criterion becomes independent of kF and the system may become unstable in a broad momentum range. Finally, upon filling the upper spin-orbit split band, finite momentum instabilities disappear in favor of phase separation alone. We discuss our results with regard to the inhomogeneous phases observed at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 or LaTiO3/SrTiO3 interfaces.}, language = {en} } @misc{CapraraDiCastroSeiboldetal., author = {Caprara, Sergio and Di Castro, Carlo and Seibold, G{\"o}tz and Grilli, Marco}, title = {Dynamical charge density waves rule the phase diagram of cuprates}, series = {Physical Review B}, volume = {95}, journal = {Physical Review B}, number = {22}, issn = {2469-9950}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.95.224511}, pages = {224511}, abstract = {In the last few years, charge density waves (CDWs) have been ubiquitously observed in high-temperature superconducting cuprates and are now the most investigated among the competing orders in the still hot debate on these systems. A wealth of new experimental data raises several fundamental issues that challenge the various theoretical proposals. We here relate our mean-field instability line T0CDW of a strongly correlated Fermi liquid to the pseudogap T∗(p) line, marking in this way the onset of CDW-fluctuations. These fluctuations reduce strongly the mean-field critical line. Controlling this reduction via an infrared frequency cutoff related to the characteristic time of the probes, we account for the complex experimental temperature versus doping phase diagram. We provide a coherent scenario explaining why different CDW onset curves are observed by different experimental probes and seem to extrapolate at zero temperature into seemingly different quantum critical points (QCPs) in the intermediate and overdoped region. The nearly singular anisotropic scattering mediated by these fluctuations also accounts for the rapid changes of the Hall number seen in experiments and provides the first necessary step for a possible Fermi surface reconstruction fully establishing at lower doping. Finally, we show that phase fluctuations of the CDWs, which are enhanced in the presence of strong correlations near the Mott insulating phase, naturally account for the disappearance of the CDWs at low doping with yet another QCP as seen by the experiments.}, language = {en} } @misc{BovenziCapraraGrillietal., author = {Bovenzi, Nicandro and Caprara, Sergio and Grilli, Marco and Raimondi, Roberto and Scopigno, Niccol{\`o} and Seibold, G{\"o}tz}, title = {Density inhomogeneities and Rashba spin-orbit coupling interplay in oxide interfaces}, series = {Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids}, journal = {Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids}, issn = {0022-3697}, pages = {12}, abstract = {There is steadily increasing evidence that the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) formed at the interface of some insulating oxides like LaAlO3/SrTiO3 and LaTiO3/SrTiO3 is strongly inhomogeneous. The inhomogeneous distribution of electron density is accompanied by an inhomogeneous distribution of the (self-consistent) electric field confining the electrons at the interface. In turn this inhomogeneous transverse electric field induces an inhomogeneous Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC). After an introductory summary on two mechanisms possibly giving rise to an electronic phase separation accounting for the above inhomogeneity, we introduce a phenomenological model to describe the density-dependent RSOC and its consequences. Besides being itself a possible source of inhomogeneity or charge-density waves, the density-dependent RSOC gives rise to interesting physical effects like the occurrence of inhomogeneous spin-current distributions and inhomogeneous quantum-Hall states with chiral "edge" states taking place in the bulk of the 2DEG. The inhomogeneous RSOC can also be exploited for spintronic devices since it can be used to produce a disorder-robust spin Hall effect.}, language = {en} } @article{FeinbergGermainGrillietal., author = {Feinberg, D. and Germain, P. and Grilli, Marco and Seibold, G{\"o}tz}, title = {Joint superexchange - Jahn-Teller mechanism for A-typeantiferromagnetism in LaMnO3}, language = {en} } @misc{SeiboldCapraraGrillietal., author = {Seibold, G{\"o}tz and Caprara, Sergio and Grilli, Marco and Raimondi, Roberto}, title = {On the Evaluation of the Spin Galvanic Effect in Lattice Models with Rashba Spin-Orbit Coupling}, series = {Condensed matter}, volume = {3}, journal = {Condensed matter}, number = {33}, issn = {2410-3896}, doi = {10.3390/condmat3030022}, pages = {1 -- 10}, abstract = {The spin galvanic effect (SGE) describes the conversion of a non-equilibrium spin polarization into a charge current and has recently attracted renewed interest due to the large conversion efficiency observed in oxide interfaces.

In this work, we present three unconventional electronic mechanisms of electronic phase separation (EPS) in a 2DEG as a possible source of inhomogeneity in oxide interfaces. Common to all three mechanisms is the dependence of some (interaction) potential on the 2DEGs density. We first consider a mechanism resulting from a sizable density-dependent Rashba spin-orbit coupling. Next, we point out that an EPS may also occur in the case of a density-dependent superconducting pairing interaction. Finally, we show that the confinement of the 2DEG to the interface by a density-dependent, self-consistent electrostatic potential can by itself cause an EPS.}, language = {en} }
