Computation of disordered system from the first principles of classical mechanics and ℕℙ hard problem

We study the classical 1D Heisenberg spin glasses in the framework of nearest-neighboring model. Based on the Hamilton equations we obtained the system of recurrence equations which allows to perform node-by-node calculations of a spin-chain. It is shown that calculations from the first principles of classical mechanics lead to ?? hard problem, that however in the limit of the statistical equilibrium can be calculated by ? algorithm. For the partition function of the ensemble a new representation is offered in the form of one-dimensional integral of spin-chains’ energy distribution.     

A new parallel algorithm for simulation of spin glasses on scales of space-time periods of external fields with consideration of relaxation effects

We have investigated the statistical properties of an ensemble of disordered 1D spatial spin chains (SSCs) of finite length, placed in an external field, with consideration of relaxation effects. The short-range interaction complex-classical Hamiltonian was first used for solving this problem. A system of recurrent equations is obtained on the nodes of the spin-chain lattice. An efficient mathematical algorithm is developed on the basis of these equations with consideration of advanced Sylvester conditions which allows one to step by step construct a huge number of stable spin chains in parallel. The distribution functions of different parameters of spin glass system are constructed from first principles by analyzing the calculation results of the 1D SSCs ensemble. It is shown that the behaviors of different distributions parameters are quite different even at weak external fields. The ensemble energy and constants of spin-spin interactions are being changed smoothly depending on the external field in the limit of statistical equilibrium, while some of them such as the mean value of polarizations of the ensemble and parameters of its orderings are frustrated. We have also studied some critical properties of the ensemble such as catastrophes in the Clausius-Mossotti equation depending on the value of the external field. We have shown that the generalized complex-classical approach excludes these catastrophes, which allows one to organize continuous parallel computing on the whole region of values of the external field including critical points. A new representation of the partition function is suggested based on these investigations. Being opposite to the usual definition, it is a complex function and its derivatives are everywhere defined, including at critical points.     

Quest for frustration driven distortion in Y2(Mo2)O(7)

We investigated the nature of the freezing in the geometrically frustrated Heisenberg spin glass Y2(Mo2)O(7) by measuring the temperature dependence of the static internal magnetic field distribution above the spin-glass temperature, Tg, using the muon spin relaxation technique. The evolution of the field distribution cannot be explained by changes in the spin susceptibility alone and suggests a lattice deformation. This possibility is addressed by numerical simulations of the Heisenberg Hamiltonian with magnetoelastic coupling at T > 0.     

Stable mean-field solution of a short-range interacting SO(3) quantum Heisenberg spin glass

We present a mean-field solution for a quantum, short-range interacting, disordered, SO(3) Heisenberg spin model, in which the Gaussian distribution of couplings is centered in an antiferromagnetic (AF) coupling J[over ]>0, and which, for weak disorder, can be treated as a perturbation of the pure AF Heisenberg system. The phase diagram contains, apart from a Néel phase at T=0, spin-glass and paramagnetic phases whose thermodynamic stability is demonstrated by an analysis of the Hessian matrix of the free-energy. The magnetic susceptibilities exhibit the typical cusp of a spin-glass transition.     

Quantum 3D spin-glass system on the scales of space-time periods of external electromagnetic fields

A dielectric medium consisting of rigidly polarized molecules has been treated as a quantum 3D disordered spin system. It is shown that using Birkhoff??s ergodic hypothesis the initial 3D disordered spin problem on scales of space-time periods of external field is reduced to two conditionally separable 1D problems. The first problem describes a 1D disordered N-particle quantum system with relaxation in random environment while the second one describes statistical properties of ensemble of disordered 1D steric spin chains of certain length. Basing on constructions which are developed in both problems, the coefficient of polarizability related to collective orientational effects under the influence of external field was calculated. On the basis of these investigations the equation of Clausius-Mossotti (CM) has been generalized as well as the equation for permittivity. It is shown that under the influence of weak standing electromagnetic fields in the equation of CM arising of catastrophe is possible, that can substantially change behavior of permittivity in the X-ray region on the macroscopic scale of space.     

Microscopic field in nanocrystalline ferromagnetic metal films and the opportunity for studying it by the μSR method

The relation of the microscopic (local) field in nanocrystalline ferromagnetic metal films to macroscopic characteristics (the external magnetic field, average magnetization, saturation magnetization) is determined for the case where a nanocrystalline ferromagnetic film consists of crystallographically ordered grains separated by disordered regions and where the dimensions of grains along a normal to the film plane are much smaller than those in the film plane. In the case of a strong external field (? ? M), the magnetization direction is determined in grains in the form of oblate ellipsoids for metals with uniaxial or cubic magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Expressions are derived for the spin polarization of an ensemble of rapidly diffusing and nondiffusing muons in nanocrystalline ferromagnetic films. It is shown that experiments with “slow” positive muons make it possible to measure all parameters of such structures and to obtain important information for studying phase transition physics.     

Many-Body Localization Transition in the Heisenberg Ising Chain

In this paper, we use exact matrix diagonalization to explore the many-body localization (MBL) transition of the Heisenberg Ising spin-1/2 chain with nearest neighbor couplings and disordered external fields. It demonstrates that the fidelity, magnetization and spin-spin space correlation can be used to characterize the many-body localization transition in this closed spin system which is also in agreement with previous analytical and numerical results. We test the properties for the middle third many-body eigenstates. It shows that for this model with random-field, the excited-state fidelity exhibits a pronounced drop at the transition and then gradually tends to be stable in the localized phase, the critical point and the final value of averaged fidelity are all size dependent. It demonstrates that disordered external fields drive the occurrence of the MBL transition. Moreover, we investigate the magnetization and spin-spin space correlation in this model to verify the conclusion we got and further explore the properties of ergodic phase and localized phase.

     

Phase diagram of uniaxial antiferromagnetic particles: Field perpendicular to the easy axis

We consider a spherical uniaxial antiferromagnetic particle in the presence of an external magnetic field perpendicular to its easy axis. The model is described by a classical Heisenberg Hamiltonian including a single-ion uniaxial anisotropy, where the magnetic moments of the particle are represented by continuous spin vectors. We employ mean-field calculations and Monte Carlo simulations to determine the phase diagram of the system. The phase diagram in the plane field versus temperature is obtained for particles with radii ranging from three up to twelve spacing lattice units. We have seen that a particle with more than nine shells behaves as a true thermodynamic system. We find the explicit dependence of the zero temperature critical field and the Néel temperature on the diameter of the particle. At low temperatures, we have also shown that, for particles with three or more shells, the critical field follows a T² law, which is in agreement with the predictions of the spin-wave theory, when the field is perpendicular to the easy axis.     

Zero-temperature nonequilibrium dynamics of the spherical Scherrington-Kirkpatrick model of a spin glass in an external field

The decay of the nonequilibrium spin-spin autocorrelation function is calculated analytically and numerically based on the Langevin dynamics for the spherical Scherrington-Kirkpatrick model (p = 2) of a spin glass in a constant magnetic field at zero temperature. The behavior of the spin system is analyzed for different amplitudes of the external constant magnetic field and different waiting times. In the mean-field approximation, the critical value of the external magnetic field is found. The occurrence of the spin-glass phase in weak magnetic fields is demonstrated. For stronger fields, the stationary behavior of the correlation function is revealed. __________ Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 4, pp. 10–16, April, 2007.     

Influence of a narrow conduction band on a Heisenberg spin system

We consider an idealized model, represented by a Heisenberg spin system, which is influenced by a narrow conduction band via ans-d-exchange interaction. By calculating and decoupling the equation of motion of double-time Green's functions by RPA, we derive the magnon dispersion law. The result is a separation of the spectrum into two magnon bands of different shape, similar to the band structure found by Hubbard in his system. We discuss our result by variation of the system parameters, as there are interactions, polarization, temperature, and external field.     

Nonequilibrium dynamics of quantum spin glass in an AC magnetic field

The ageing effect is studied analytically in a disordered quantum system interacting with its surroundings and subjected to an external ac magnetic field. Energy dissipation is due to the interaction of the system with a set of independent harmonic oscillators, imitating a quantum thermal bath. Dynamic equations for the autocorrelation function and linear-response function are derived using the method of closed-path integrals. The effect of an external field is studied on the correlation function and response in the spin-glass and paramagnetic phases. Both functions are found to depend on the spin interaction strength.     

The effects of electron–phonon interaction on anisotropic RKKY interaction in graphene nanoribbon

We study the Ruderman–Kittle–Kasuya–Yosida (RKKY) interaction in doped armchair graphene nanoribbon. The effects of both external magnetic field and electron-Holstein phonon on RKKY interaction have been addressed. RKKY interaction as a function of distance between localized moments has been analyzed. It has been shown that a magnetic field along the z-axis mediates an anisotropic interaction which corresponds to a XXZ model interaction between two magnetic moments. In order to calculate the exchange interaction along arbitrary direction between two magnetic moments, we should obtain both transverse and longitudinal static spin susceptibilities of armchair graphene nanoribbon in the presence of electron-phonon coupling and magnetic field. The spin susceptibility components are calculated using the spin dependent Green’s function approach for Holstein model Hamiltonian. The effects of spin polarization on the dependence of exchange interaction on distance between moments are investigated via calculating correlation function of spin density operators. Our results show the influences of magnetic field on the spatial behavior of in-plane and longitudinal RKKY interactions are different in the presence of magnetic field.     

Magnetization process in cluster spin glass model in the low temperature region

An ensemble of magnetic clusters is approximated by an ensemble of two-singlet systems: at each lattice site l there are two levels, ?_l,1 and ?_l,2. ?_l,1 is associated with spin zero and ?_l,2 with spin 1 (or vice versa). Δ = ?_l,2??_l,1 originates from some intra-cluster interaction and some effective magnetic field; for the both some distribution is assumed. An exchange interaction between different clusters is also taken into account. The excitation spectrum of this ensemble as function of H_ext is calculated and applied to discuss the response of the system to some external magnetic field H_ext in the low-temperature region. Typical instabilities of magnetization as function of H_ext are obtained. Finally, possible applications of our results to spin-glass systems are discussed.     

Variational principle for regular and random Ising models on the cactus tree or on the usual lattice in the “cactus approximation”

The distribution functions and the free energy are expressed in terms of the effective fields for the regular and random Ising models of an arbitrary spin S on the generalized cactus tree. The same expressions apply to systems on the usual lattice in the “cactus approximation” in the cluster variation method. For an ensemble of random Ising models of an arbitrary spin S on the generalized cactus tree, the equation for the probability distribution function of the effective fields is set up and the averaged free energy is expressed in terms of the probability distribution. The same expressions apply to the system on the usual lattice in the “cactus approximation”. We discuss the quantities on the usual lattice when the system or the ensemble of random systems has the translational symmetry. Variational properties of the free energy for a system and of the averaged free energy for an ensemble of random systems are noted. The “cactus approximations” are applicable to the Heisenberg model as well as to the Ising model of an arbitrary spin, and to ensembles of random systems of these models.     

Effect of electric field and magnetic field on spin transport in bilayer graphene armchair nanoribbons: A Monte Carlo simulation study

In this article we study the effect of external magnetic field and electric field on spin transport in bilayer armchair graphene nanoribbons (GNR) by employing semiclassical Monte Carlo approach. We include D'yakonov-Perel' (DP) relaxation due to structural inversion asymmetry (Rashba spin-orbit coupling) and Elliott-Yafet (EY) relaxation to model spin dephasing. In the model we neglect the effect of local magnetic moments due to adatoms and vacancies. We have considered injection polarization along z-direction perpendicular to the plane of graphene and the magnitude of ensemble averaged spin variation is studied along the x-direction which is the transport direction. To the best of our knowledge there has been no theoretical investigation of the effects of external magnetic field on spin transport in graphene nanoribbons. This theoretical investigation is important in order to identify the factors responsible for experimentally observed spin relaxation length in graphene GNRs.     

Effects of impurities and vortices on the low-energy spin excitations in high-Tc materials

We review a theoretical scenario for the origin of the spin-glass phase of underdoped cuprate materials. In particular it is shown how disorder in a correlated d-wave superconductor generates a magnetic phase by inducing local droplets of antiferromagnetic order which eventually merge and form a quasi-long range ordered state. When correlations are sufficiently strong, disorder is unimportant for the generation of static magnetism but plays an additional role of pinning disordered stripe configurations. We calculate the spin excitations in a disordered spin-density wave phase, and show how disorder and/or applied magnetic fields lead to a slowing down of the dynamical spin fluctuations in agreement with neutron scattering and muon spin rotation (μSR) experiments.     

The effect of band Jahn-Teller distortion on the magnetoresistivity of manganites: a model study

We present a model study of magnetoresistance through the interplay of magnetisation, structural distortion and external magnetic field for the manganite systems. The manganite system is described by the Hamiltonian which consists of the s-d type double exchange interaction, Heisenberg spin-spin interaction among the core electrons, and the static and dynamic band Jahn-Teller (JT) interaction in the e(g) band. The relaxation time of the e(g) electron is found from the imaginary part of the Green's function using the total Hamiltonian consisting of the interactions due to the electron and phonon. The calculated resistivity exhibits a peak in the pure JT distorted insulating phase separating the low temperature metallic ferromagnetic phase and the high temperature paramagnetic phase. The resistivity is suppressed with the increase of the external magnetic field. The e(g) electron band splitting and its effect on magnetoresistivity is reported here.     

Mean field theory of a quantum heisenberg spin glass

A full mean-field solution of a quantum Heisenberg spin-glass model is presented in a large- N limit. A spin-glass transition is found for all values of the spin S. The quantum critical regime associated with the quantum transition at S = 0 and the various regimes in the spin-glass phase at high spin are analyzed. The specific heat is shown to vanish linearly with temperature. In the spin-glass phase, intriguing connections between the equilibrium properties of the quantum problem and the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of classical models are pointed out.     

Exchange bias effect in multiferroic Eu0.75Y0.25MnO3

The exchange bias phenomenon has been investigated in multiferroic Eu_0.75Y_0.25MnO₃. The material shows a weak ferromagnetism with cone spin configuration induced by external magnetic field below 30 K. Consequently, the electric polarization coming from the cycloid spin order below 30 K can be suppressed by external magnetic fields. The magnetic hysteresis loops after cooling in a magnetic field exhibit characteristics of exchange bias below the spin glassy freezing temperature (T_g)∼16 K. The exchange bias field, coercivity field, and remanent magnetization increase with increasing cooling magnetic field. The exchange bias effect is ascribed to the frozen uncompensated spins at the antiferromagnetism/weak ferromagnetism interfaces in the spin-glass like phase.
