The Ferrimagnetic Mixed Spin-1/2 and Spin-1 Ising System on Layered Honeycomb Lattice

A mixed spin-1/2 and spin-1 Ising ferrimagnet with a layered honeycomb structure is studied within the framework of an effective-field theory with correlations. The effect of interlayer interactions and a single-ion anisotropy on the existence of the compensation temperature and tricritical point is investigated. In particular, it is pointed out that the tricritical point may be only possible if interlayer interactions are nonzero.     

Quantum Ising Criticality in Dimerized XY Spin-1/2 Chain

In the present paper we propose a spin-1/2 chain which provides an exactly solvable example to studythe Ising criticality with the central charge c = 1/2. We performthe diagonalization of this model in the presence ofmagnetic field. From the full energy spectrum, the central charge and the scaling dimensions are given at the criticalpoint. The results show evidently that the quantum Ising criticality exists in such a system.     

Hexagonal Type Ising Nanowire with Spin-1 Core and Spin-2 Shell Structure

Thermodynamic properties and phase diagrams of a mixed spin-(1,2) Ising ferrimagnetic system with single ion anisotropy on hexagonal nanowire are studied by using effective-field theory with correlations. The susceptibility,internal energy and specific heat of the system are numerically examined and some interesting phenomena in these quantities are found. The effect of the Hamiltonian parameters on phase diagrams are examined in detail. Besides second-order phase transition, lines of first-order transition and tricritical points are found. In particular, we found that for some negative values of single-ion anisotropies, there exist first-order phase transitions.     

Theoretical Studies of the Ising Bilayer System Consisting of Spin-1/2 and Spin-1 Atoms

In the paper, the theoretical studies of a magnetic bilayer with s.c. symmetry, composed of the Ising spins 1 and 1/2 are carried out. The Cluster Variational Method in Pair Approximation (CVMPA) is adopted. The phase diagrams and magnetisation curves pertaining to various spatial spin distributions are obtained, showing the important influence of spin-mixing and spin-segregation on the magnetic properties.     

Hidden Structure of Symmetries

A hidden additional algebraic structure is discovered for the Lie algebra of symmetries of any dynamical system V. The structure is based on the properties of the Lie derivative operator L_V and on a hidden canonical flag structure in the eigenspaces of any linear operator.     

Critical and Compensation Temperatures of the Ising Bilayer System Consisting of Spin-1/2 and Spin-1 Atoms

The critical and compensation temperatures of the bilayer Bethe lattices with one of the layers having only spin-1/2 atoms and the other having only spin-1 atoms placed symmetrically are studied by using exact recursion relations in a pairwise approach. The Hamiltonian of the model consist of the bilinear intralayer coupling constants of the two layers J ₁ and J ₂ for the interactions of the atoms in layers with spin-1/2 and spin-1, respectively, and the bilinear interlayer coupling constant J ₃ between the adjacent atoms with spin-1/2 and spin-1 of the layers. After obtaining the ground state phase diagram with J ₁ > 0, the variations of the order-parameters and the free energy are investigated to obtain the phase diagram of the model by considering only the ferromagnetic ordering of the layers, i.e. J ₁ > 0 and J ₂ > 0, and ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic ordering of the adjacent spins of the layers, J ₃ > 0 or J ₃ < 0, respectively. It was found that the system presents both second- and first-order phase transitions and, tricritical points. The compensation temperatures was also observed for the appropriate values of the system parameters. PACS: 05.50.+q 05.70.Fh 64.60.Cn 75.10.Hk     

Hidden Symmetries for Thermodynamics and Emergence of Relativity

Erik Verlinde recently proposed an idea about the thermodynamic origin of gravity. Though this is a beautiful idea, which may resolve many long standing problems in the theories of gravity, it also raises many other problems. In this article I will comment on some of the problems of Verlinde＇s proposal with special emphasis on the thermodynamical origin of the principle of relativity. It is found that there is a large group of hidden symmetries of thermodynamics, which contains the Poincare group of the spacetime for which space is emergent. This explains the thermodynamic origin of the principle of relativity.     

Isothermal Entropy Change for the Spin-1 Blume-Capel Model on the Bethe Lattice

The isothermal entropy change of spin-1 Blume-Capel (BC) is investigated on the Bethe lattice (BL) with the variations of coordination numbers (q), crystal field (D) and external magnetic field (H) in the vicinity of critical temperatures, i.e. about the second- and first-order phase transition temperatures. The calculation is carried on the BL in terms of exact recursion relations. It is found that the peaks of the isothermal entropy variation obtained for both magnetization and quadrupole moments are observed to be increasing with increasing values of H for given D and q, decreasing with the increasing q for fixed D and H and also decreasing with the increasing values of D for constant q and H. The peaks of the curves for the quadrupole moment is less sharper then the ones obtained for the magnetization.

     

Relativistic Quantum Correlations Between Spin-1/2 Particles

It is shown that a fully relativistic formulation of spin measurements and correlations does not add any new feature to the standard analysis of Bell and the deduction of his inequality. It follows, therefore, that the motion of reference frames does not affect the correlations between spatially separated particles.     

Efficient Quantum Algorithms for Simulating Sparse Hamiltonians

We present an efficient quantum algorithm for simulating the evolution of a quantum state for a sparse Hamiltonian H over a given time t in terms of a procedure for computing the matrix entries of H. In particular, when H acts on n qubits, has at most a constant number of nonzero entries in each row/column, and ||H|| is bounded by a constant, we may select any positive integer k such that the simulation requires O((log^* n)t ^1+1/2k ) accesses to matrix entries of H. We also show that the temporal scaling cannot be significantly improved beyond this, because sublinear time scaling is not possible.     

Symmetries of a (2+1)-Dimensional Toda-like Lattice

A Compensation Temperature Induced by Transverse Fields in a Mixed Spin-1 and Spin-3/2 Ising Ferrimagnetic System

A mean-field theory is developed for a mixed Ising ferrimagnetic system consisting of spin 1 and spin 3/2 with different transverse fields. The phase diagram and the thermal behaviour of magnetizations are studied. We find that a compensation point induced by different transverse fields can be observed, although the system never exhibits any compensation point for either zero or uniform transverse fields. The anomalous behaviour of the initial longitudinal magnetic susceptibility in the vicinity of the compensation and critical temperatures is also obtained.     

Spin-Orbit Coupling Induced Phase Separation in Spin-1 Condensate with Optical Lattice

We study a spin-orbit (SO) coupled hyperfine spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate in a quasi-one-dimensional harmonic potential combined with an optical lattice. The ground state structure is obtained by numerically solving the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. We conclude that the phase separation between the m_F = ± 1 components, in particular the stripe pattern (SP), can be formed under the condition of increasing the SO coupled strength and the simultaneous decrease in the magnetization. In addition, we also plot the phase diagram showing regions where the solution is a SP.

Quantum integrals of motion for variable quadratic Hamiltonians

We construct integrals of motion for several models of the quantum damped oscillators in a framework of a general approach to the time-dependent Schrödinger equation with variable quadratic Hamiltonians. An extension of the Lewis-Riesenfeld dynamical invariant is given. The time-evolution of the expectation values of the energy-related positive operators is determined for the oscillators under consideration. A proof of uniqueness of the corresponding Cauchy initial value problem is discussed as an application.     

Magnetic and Thermal Behaviour of One-Dimensional Antiferromagnetic Spin-1 Ising Chain at Low Temperatures

We investigate magnetic and thermal behaviours of one-dimensional antiferromagnetic spin-i Ising chain with single-ion anisotropy at very low temperatures using the classical transfer matrix technique. Magnetic plateaus, phase diagram, specific heat, susceptibility of the spin chain have been evaluated numerically from the free energy. The results are in good agreement with the experimental data for the spin-1 compounds [Ni2 （Medpt）2 （μ- ox）（H2O）2]（ClO4）22H2O, [Ni2（Medpt）2（μ-ox）（μ-N3）]（ClO4）0.5H2O, Ni（C2H8N2）Ni（CN）4 and Ni（C10H8N2）2 Ni（CN）4·H2O.
