Spin–spin interaction in magnetic semiconductor quantum dots

Self-assembled Cd(Mn)Se/Zn(Mn)Se quantum dots have been investigated by means of spatially and time-resolved magneto-optical spectroscopy. In such quasi zero-dimensional diluted magnetic semiconductors, the exchange interaction couples the spins of optically generated charge carriers with localized magnetic ion spins. We demonstrate that this can be used on the one hand to monitor nanoscale magnetization with a resolution of <100 μ_B by a purely optical technique and on the other hand to optically manipulate the magnetization in a semiconductor quantum dot.     

4f–3d exchange coupling in Gd/X/Co (X=Pt, Cr) multilayers

We have studied the interlayer exchange coupling between Gd and Co through Pt and Cr spacers in a series of multilayers. Magnetization curves have been analyzed with a model, taking into account bilinear and biquadratic interlayer exchange couplings between Gd and Co. The interlayer exchange coupling constants have been determined as a function of the Pt or Cr spacer layer thickness.     

Gate voltage-dependent Aharanov–Bohm experiment in the presence of Rashba spin–orbit interaction

We measured gate voltage-dependent Aharonov–Bohm oscillations in an InGaAs-based two-dimensional electron gas ring with a gate on top of one of the branches. After ensemble averaging, the h/e oscillation spectrum showed smooth oscillatory behavior as a function of the gate voltage. This could be a manifestation of the spin–orbit interaction induced interference.

Effect of ordering transformation rate on the magnetic properties of Fe–Pt-based bulk alloys

We have investigated the ordering transformation and magnetic properties of Fe_59.75Pt_39.5Nb_0.75 bulk alloys in detail by using different high-temperature homogenization treatments, different cooling rates and different low-temperature annealing treatments to obtain samples with different microstructure and different atomically ordered states. The quenching rate after the high-temperature homogenization treatment was chosen much lower than in previous investigations. In this way, we were able to obtain nanostructured bulk alloys consisting exclusively of the hard-magnetic face-centered-tetragonal phase. A high remanence ratio was obtained by profiting from the nanocomposite exchange coupling between nearest-neighbor-ordered regions. The present results are compared with results of previous investigations in which much higher cooling rates were applied. We also discussed why the present alloy systems are less suitable for the attainment of exchange spring behavior.

Deformed “commutative” Chern–Simons’ system

Noncommutative Chern–Simons’ system is non-perturbatively investigated at a full deformed level. A deformed “commutative” phase space is found by a non-canonical change between two sets of deformed variables of noncommutative space. It is explored that in the “commutative” phase space all calculations are similar to the case in commutative space. Spectra of its energy and angular momentum of the Chern–Simons’ system are obtained at the full deformed level. The noncommutative–commutative correspondence is clearly showed. Formalism for the general dynamical system is briefly presented. Some subtle points are clarified.

Exchange-enhanced spin-splitting in a two-dimensional electron gas in the presence of the Rashba spin–orbit interaction

We present a theoretical study on how many-body effects can affect the spin-splitting of a two-dimensional electron gas in the presence of the Rashba spin–orbit interaction. The standard Hartree–Fock approximation and Green's function approach are employed to calculate the energy spectrum and density of states of a spin-split two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). We find that the presence of the exchange interaction can enhance significantly the spin-splitting of a 2DEG on top of the Rashba effect. The physical reasons behind this important phenomenon are discussed.     

Dihydrogen bond and X–H…σ interaction as sub‐classes of hydrogen bond

Dihydrogen bond (DHB) and X–H…σ interaction are discussed and compared here. Both interactions possess numerous characteristics of the hydrogen bond (HB). The Natural Bond Orbitals method results show that σ → σ* is the most important interaction connected with the electron charge transfer from the Lewis base to the Lewis acid for the DHB as well as for the X–H…σ HB. However, there are distinct differences between these interactions, and this is evident from the analysis based on the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules as well as from the decomposition of the energy of interaction. The X–H…π interaction is also discussed here since it possesses few characteristics typical for the X–H…σ interaction and not for the DHB. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Coupling Biot and Navier–Stokes equations for modelling fluid–poroelastic media interaction

The interaction between a fluid and a poroelastic structure is a complex problem that couples the Navier–Stokes equations with the Biot system. The finite element approximation of this problem is involved due to the fact that both subproblems are indefinite. In this work, we first design residual-based stabilization techniques for the Biot system, motivated by the variational multiscale approach. Then, we state the monolithic Navier–Stokes/Biot system with the appropriate transmission conditions at the interface. For the solution of the coupled system, we adopt both monolithic solvers and heterogeneous domain decomposition strategies. Different domain decomposition methods are considered and their convergence is analyzed for a simplified problem. We compare the efficiency of all the methods on a test problem that exhibits a large added-mass effect, as it happens in hemodynamics applications.     

On the infrared behavior of Landau gauge Yang–Mills theory

We discuss the properties of ghost and gluon propagators in the deep infrared momentum region of Landau gauge Yang–Mills theory. Within the framework of Dyson–Schwinger equations and the functional renormalization group we demonstrate that it is only a matter of infrared boundary conditions whether infrared scaling or decoupling occurs. We argue that the second possibility is at odds with global BRST symmetry in the confining phase. For this purpose we improve upon existing truncation schemes in particular with respect to transversality and renormalization.

Spin-dependent magnetotransport through one or more rings in the presence of the Rashba and Dresselhaus terms of the spin–orbit interaction

Magnetotransport through one or several quasi-one-dimensional rings, in the presence of the Rashba (RSOI) and Dresselhaus (DSOI) terms of the spin–orbit interaction (SOI) and of a magnetic field B, is investigated. The RSOI field and an effective DSOI field are taken as E_R=E_R(sinγ₁e_r+cosγ₁e_z) and E_D=E_D(sinγ₂e_r+cosγ₂e_z), their strengths are denoted by α and β, respectively. The exact one-electron eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are obtained and used to evaluate the transmission as a function of α, β, and of the angles γ₁,γ₂. Because the RSOI term couples the electronic orbit (along the θ direction) with the Pauli matrices σ_z and σ_r while the DSOI term couples it with σ_θ, they affect the electronic spin transport through a ring in distinctly different ways. The resulting transmission shows a considerable structure as a function of the angles γ₁ or γ₂. The same holds for the transmission, versus α or β, with the SOI present only in one arm of the ring and for that through two rings with the same or different radii. Various results of the literature, valid for β=0, are readily recovered. For weak magnetic fields the influence of the Zeeman term on the transmission, assessed by perturbation theory, is negligible.     

Theory of electronic light scattering in lateral superlattices with Rashba spin–orbit coupling under quantizing electric and magnetic fields

The influence of an in-plane electric and out-of-plane magnetic field on the electronic light scattering is calculated for a lateral semiconductor superlattice within Rashba spin–orbit interaction. Sharp resonances are predicted to appear when the Raman shift matches one frequency of the Wannier–Stark ladder. The spin–orbit interaction gives rise to a dispersion of the exact one-particle eigenstates and an associated finite width of the Raman line, which can be tuned by the electric and magnetic field. When the Bloch frequency is located in this Raman line, a Fano resonance is observed.     

de Haas–van Alphen effect in strongly correlated electron systems

We present the Fermi surface properties in strongly correlated electron systems of rare earth and uranium compounds via de Haas–van Alphen experiments. The conduction electrons with large cyclotron effective masses over 100m₀ (m₀: rest mass of an electron) are detected in CeRu₂Si₂, CeCoIn₅ and UPt₃. These electrons move slowly in the crystal. The topology of the Fermi surface and the cyclotron mass are compared to those of energy band calculations.     

Rashba spin–orbit effect on the magnetocapacitance of a 2DEG in a diluted magnetic semiconductor

We investigate the magnetocapacitance of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) embedded in diluted magnetic semiconductors in the presence of Rashba spin–orbit interaction (SOI). We present calculations on the energy spectrum and density of states and show that the tunable spin–orbit coupling and the enhanced Zeeman splitting have a strong effect on the magnetocapacitance of the structure. In the presence of Rashba SOI, a typical beating pattern with well defined node-positions in the oscillating capacitance is observed. A simple relation that predicts the positions of nodes in the beating patterns is obtained. The interplay between the total Zeeman splitting (including the s–d exchange interaction) and the Rashba SOI is discussed.     

On the possibility of excitonic phases at the semiconductor–semimetal transition
