The Effect of Spin-Orbit Coupling and Spin-Spin Coupling of Compact Binaries on Chaos

There are spin-orbit interaction and spin-spin interaction in a generic post-Newtonian Lagrangian formulation of comparable mass spinning compact binaries. The spin-orbit coupling or the spin-spin coupling plays a quite important role in changing the evolution of the system and may sometime cause chaotic behavior. How do the two types of couplings exert together any influences on chaos in this formulation? To answer it, we simply take the Lagrangian formulation of a special binary system, including the Newtonian term and the leading-order spin-orbit and spin-spin couplings. The key to this question can be found from a Hamiltonian formulation that is completely identical to the Lagrangian formulation. If the Lagrangian does not include the spin-spin coupling, its equivalent Hamiltonian has an additional term(i.e. the next-order spin-spin coupling) as well as those terms of the Lagrangian. The spin-spin coupling rather than the spin-orbit coupling makes the Hamiltonian typically nonintegrable and probably chaotic when two objects spin. When the leading-order spin-spin coupling is also added to the Lagrangian, it still appears in the Hamiltonian.In this sense, the total Hamiltonian contains the leading-order spin-spin coupling and the next-order spin-spin coupling,which have different signs. Therefore, the chaos resulting from the spin-spin interaction in the Legrangian formulations is somewhat weakened by the spin-orbit coupling.     

Dynamics of High-Order Spin-Orbit Couplings about Linear Momenta in Compact Binary Systems

This paper relates to the post-Newtonian Hamiltonian dynamics of spinning compact binaries, consisting of the Newtonian Kepler problem and the leading, next-to-leading and next-to-next-to-leading order spin-orbit couplings as linear functions of spins and momenta. When this Hamiltonian form is transformed to a Lagrangian form, besides the terms corresponding to the same order terms in the Hamiltonian, several additional terms, third post-Newtonian(3 PN),4 PN, 5 PN, 6 PN and 7 PN order spin-spin coupling terms, yield in the Lagrangian. That means that the Hamiltonian is nonequivalent to the Lagrangian at the same PN order but is exactly equivalent to the full Lagrangian without any truncations. The full Lagrangian without the spin-spin couplings truncated is integrable and regular. Whereas it is non-integrable and becomes possibly chaotic when any one of the spin-spin terms is dropped. These results are also supported numerically.     

Semi-Classical Derivation of the Spin-Orbit Coupling for the Dirac Particle in an Accelerated Frame

We give a semi-classical derivation for the spin-orbit coupling in the non-relativistic Hamiltonian of the Dirac particle in an accelerated frame, in direct analogy with that for the Thomas term in the case of the electromagnetic interaction.     

Band structures of carbon nanotube with spin-orbit coupling interaction

We explore the band structures of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with two types of spin-orbit couplings. The obtained results indicate that weak Rashba spin-orbit coupling interaction can lead to the breaking of four-fold degeneracy in all tubes even though without the intrinsic SO coupling. The asymmetric splitting between conduction bands and valence bands is caused by both SO couplings at the same time. When the ratio of Rashba spin-orbit coupling to the intrinsic spin-orbit coupling is larger than 3, metallic zigzag nanotube is always metallic conductor, on the contrary it becomes semiconducting properties. However, only when this ratio is equal to about 3 or the intrinsic spin-orbit coupling is much weak, the metallic armchair nanotube still holds the metallic behavior in transport.

Quantum Entanglement in a Spin-Orbit Coupled Bose-Einstein Condensate

We study the spin-field and the spin-spin entanglement in the ground state of a spin-orbit coupled Bose- Einstein condensate. It is found that the spin-field and the spin-spin entanglement can be induced by the spin-orbit coupling. By mapping the system to the Dicke-like model, the system exhibits a quantum phase transition from a normal (spin balanced) phase to superradiant (spin polarized) phase. The Dicke-like phase transition can be captured by the spin-field and the spin-spin entanglement arising from the spin-orbit coupling. The spin-field and the spin-spin entanglement increase as the Raman coupling increases in the superradiant phase, while they decrease with the Raman coupling increasing in the normal phase. We also consider the effect of a finite detuning on these entanglement show that the presence of the detuning suppresses the spin-field and the spin-spin entanglement.

A Non-Standard Coupling Between Quantum Systems Originated From Their Kinetic Energy

In standard quantum mechanics, the coupling between quantum systems is described by a potential interaction term in the Hamiltonian. This type of coupling is well-rooted in nature and shapes the universe around us, from the interactions between single photons to the attractive force between atoms that forms molecules. Quantum mechanics does not forbid other kinds of interactions to take place. In this paper, a non-standard quantum coupling between quantum systems is proposed, originated from the kinetic energy rather than the potential interaction in the Hamiltonian. Unlike the potential-based coupling, the proposed coupling changes the fundamental structure of quantum mechanics in the form of modified uncertainty relations that are shaped by the coupling between the particles in the system. Two prototypical examples of non-standard systems that perform such kinetic-based coupling are presented. In the first example, it considers a particle confined in a heterostructure, such as a quantum dot, where the coupling is between the particle and dynamic walls that determine the size of the heterostructure. The second example involves a particle in a 3D heterostructure with coupling between its position axes. It then discusses several future implications of the proposed type of non-standard coupling.     

Electron Correlations,Spin-Orbit Coupling,and Antiferromagnetic Anisotropy in Layered Perovskite Iridates Sr2IrO4

The effects of electron correlations and spin-orbit coupling on the magnetic anisotropy in the antiferromagnetically ordered 5d perovskite iridates Sr₂IrO₄ is investigated theoretically using a microscopic model includes a realistic five-orbital tight-binding Hamiltonian, atomic spin-orbit coupling, and multi-orbital Hubbard interactions. Hartree-Fock approximation is applied to obtain the ground state properties with varying spin-orbit coupling and electron correlations. We demonstrate that the interplay between the atomic intraorbital Coulomb repulsion and the Hund's rule coupling leads to a remarkable variability of the resulting magnetic anisotropy at a constant nonzero spin-orbit coupling. At the same time, the preferred direction of the ordered antiferromagnetical moment remains unaltered upon changes in the strength of spin-orbit coupling.

Fano effect in a T-shaped double quantum dot structure in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling

The influence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling on the Fano lineshape of the conductance spectrum in a T-shaped double quantum dot structure is theoretically studied. By second-quantizing the electron Hamiltonian in this structure, it is found that the Rashba interaction brings about a spin-flip interdot hopping term. With the enhancement of the Rashba interaction, this term separates the two resonant peaks in the conductance spectrum from each other. More importantly, it causes the broadening of the narrow Fano peak, and the narrowing of the broader peak. Finally, the asymmetric Fano lineshape changes into a symmetric profile in the global conductance spectrum.     

On the space of solutions of the Hořava theory at the kinetic-conformal point

The nonprojectable Ho?ava theory at the kinetic-conformal point is defined by setting a specific value of the coupling constant of the kinetic term of the Lagrangian. This formulation has two additional second class-constraints that eliminate the extra mode. We show that the space of solutions of this theory in the Hamiltonian formalism is bigger than the space of solutions in the original Lagrangian formalism. In the Hamiltonian formalism there are certain configurations for the Lagrange multipliers that lead to solutions that cannot be found in the original Lagrangian formulation. We show specific examples in vacuum and with a source. The solution with the source has homogeneous and isotropic spatial hypersurfaces. The enhancement of the space of solutions leaves the possibility that new solutions applicable to cosmology, or to other physical systems, can be found in the Hamiltonian formalism.

Perturbative Handling of the Renner-Teller Effect and Spin-Orbit Coupling in Π Electronic States of Triatomic and Tetra-atomic Molecules

Second-order perturbative formulae for handling the Renner-Teller effect combined with the spin-orbit coupling in Π electronic states of triatomic and symmetric (ABBA-type) tetra-atomic molecules with linear equilibrium geometry are derived. Two schemes for partition of the model Hamiltonian are employed: In the first the spin-orbit coupling term is treated as a perturbation, in the second it is included in the zeroth-order Hamiltonian. It is demonstrated that both approaches lead to the same results when the spin-orbit coupling constant is small compared to the bending frequency, but much larger than the splitting of potential surfaces upon bending. The perturbative formulae derived for tetra-atomic molecules are used to compute the spectrum of the X²Π_u state of the acetylene ion, employing the parameters obtained in ab initio calculations. The results are compared with those generated in corresponding variational computations.     

自旋轨道耦合和电势共同调节的石墨烯中的自旋极化性质

近年来,石墨烯中电子的自旋相关输运引起了越来越多的关注.本论文应用转移矩阵的方法讨论了石墨烯中具有单个界面或者两个界面的结构中,受到自旋-轨道耦合作用和电势的共同影响下自旋相关的输运性质.对于单个界面结构,由于自旋-轨道耦合作用导致能级产生劈裂,在固定的入射能量下,电子在自旋-轨道耦合区域产生两种传播模式.在自旋-轨道耦合区域加了电势后,透射几率和模式临界角都会受到较大的影响.对于两个界面结构,粒子的透射几率不仅与入射角有关,还与自旋-轨道耦合区域的宽度和自旋进动长度有关,而电势对同自旋方向的传输几率以及自旋反转的几率都有影响,适当地选取系统的参数和电势的大小,可以控制出射的电子自旋方向,实验上可以用来设计自旋反转器或者或者自旋控制器.     

Chaotic Cyclotron and Hall Trajectories Due to Spin-Orbit Coupling

It is demonstrated that the synergistic effect of a gauge field, Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC), and Zeeman splitting can generate chaotic cyclotron and Hall trajectories of particles. The physical origin of the chaotic behavior is that the SOC produces a spin-dependent (so-called anomalous) contribution to the particle velocity and the presence of Zeeman field reduces the number of integrals of motion. By using analytical and numerical arguments, the conditions of chaos emergence are studied and the dynamics both in the regular and chaotic regimes is reported. The critical dependence of the dynamic patterns (such as the chaotic regime onset) on small variations in the initial conditions and problem parameters, that is the SOC and/or Zeeman constants, is observed. The transition to chaotic regime is further verified by the analysis of phase portraits as well as Lyapunov exponents spectrum. The considered chaotic behavior can occur in solid state systems, weakly relativistic plasmas, and cold atomic gases with synthetic gauge fields and spin-related couplings.     

Einfluß einer Quasiteilchen-Spinbahnwechselwirkung auf die magnetischen Momente leichter Atomkerne

Using Migdal's theory of interacting quasiparticles, the influence of a two-body spin-orbit interaction in addition to the spin-spin interaction on magnetic moments of nuclei was investigated in the mass regionA=11 toA=65. The coupling constants of the spin-orbit interaction were determined from spin-orbit splittings of single particle energies, and those of the spin-spin interaction were adjusted by fitting magnetic moments. The constants of the spin-spin interaction were found to be dependent on the mass value. The inclusion of the spin-orbit interaction led to a better agreement of theoretical and experimental magnetic moments of light nuclei. The spin-orbit contribution was averaged 7% over all nuclei, but reached 20–30% for some of them.     

The Bilinear and Intrinsic Biquadratic Coupling in Magnetic Metallic Trilayers

We find the exact Green's functions of the Anderson s-d mixing model for magnetic trilayers with arbitrary spin canting angle between two ferromagnetic layers within the rneanfield theory of the on-site Coulomb repulsion. A bilinear exchange coupling and an intrinsic biquadratic coupling which does not vanish in the limit of flat interfaces is obtained by those Green's functions. It is shown that both of these couplings oscillate in the experimental range of the spacer thickness only when the s-d mixing is strong enough. When the mixing strength is large enough one finds that the oscillation period of the intrinsic biquadratic term is equal to half of the corresponding one for the bilinear term. We also find that the temperature dependence of those interlayer couplings is considerably enhanced with the decrease of the Hubbard coupling. It is also shown that the biquadratic coupling falls off much more rapidly with increasing temperature than the bilinear one.     

Determination of the Glueball Mass Spectrum with the Spin-Orbit Interaction

Based on the investigation of the asymptotic behaviour of the polarization loop function for scalar charged particles in an external gauge field we determine the interaction Hamiltonian including the nonperturbative corrections of the relativistic character of motion and the large coupling constant. The mass spectrum of the bound state is analytically derived. The mechanism for arising of the constituent mass of the bound-state forming particles is explained. The change of the bound-state mass and of the constituent mass of particles is analyzed by varying the coupling constant. The mass spectrum of the two-gluon glueball is calculated taking into account spin-orbit and spin-spin interactions.
