Giant viscosity enhancement in a spin-polarized fermi liquid

The viscosity is measured for a Fermi liquid, a dilute 3He-4He mixture, under extremely high magnetic field/temperature conditions (Bor=1.5 mK). The spin-splitting energy microB is substantially greater than the Fermi energy kBTF; as a consequence the polarization tends to unity and s-wave quasiparticle scattering is suppressed for T相似文献   

Energy dependence of quasiparticle relaxation in a disordered fermi liquid

A spectroscopic method is applied to measure the inelastic quasiparticle relaxation rate in a disordered Fermi liquid. The quasiparticle relaxation rate gamma is deduced from the magnitude of fluctuations in the local density of states, which are probed using resonant tunneling through a localized impurity state. We study its dependence on the excitation energy E measured from the Fermi level. In a disordered metal (heavily doped GaAs) we find that gamma~E3/2 within the experimentally accessible energy interval, in agreement with the Altshuler-Aronov theory for electron-electron interactions in diffusive conductors.     

Energy relaxation in the spin-polarized disordered electron liquid

Energy relaxation is studied in the spin-polarized disordered electron systems in the diffusive regime. We derive a quantum kinetic equation in which the kernel of the electron-electron collision integral explicitly depends on the electron magnetization. As a consequence, the inelastic scattering rate has a nonmonotonic dependence on the spin polarization of the system.     

Relaxation in a fermi liquid

The initial value problem for fermions is solved by an explicit construction of the time evolution operator in terms of a spectral representation of the linearized Uehling-Uhlenbeck collision integral. Unless the scattering between the fermions is very anisotropic the decay of a perturbation follows a universal law with relaxation frequencies depending on the total cross section and the ratio of the free energy per particle to the thermal broadening of the Fermi surface. The theory is applied to the decay of quasi-particles and quadrupole deformations of the Fermi sphere. Also the thermalization of the energy of relative motion in a heavy ion collision is studied. For an investigation of the general properties of the linearized fermion Uehling-Uhlenbeck collision operator a Levinson theorem for one-dimensional problems is derived.     

Effective masses in a strongly anisotropic fermi liquid

Motivated by the recent experimental observation of quantum oscillations in the underdoped cuprates, we study the cyclotron and infrared Hall effective masses in an anisotropic Fermi liquid characterized by an angle-dependent quasiparticle residue Z_{q}. Our primary motivation is to explain the relatively large value of the cyclotron mass observed experimentally and its relation with the effective Hall mass. Using a phenomenological model of an anisotropic Fermi liquid, we find that the cyclotron mass is enhanced by a factor 1/Z_{q}, while the effective Hall mass is proportional to Z_{q}/Z_{q};{2}, where cdots, three dots, centered implies an averaging over the Fermi surface. If the Z-factor becomes small in some part of the Fermi surface (e.g., in the case of a Fermi arc), the cyclotron mass is enhanced sharply while the infrared Hall mass may remain small.     

Surface instability of a nuclear fermi liquid drop

A mechanical instability of an incompressible Fermi liquid drop with respect to surface distortions is considered. It is shown that the Fermi surface distortion (FSD) reduces the instability-growth rate for surface fluctuations due to its effects on both the viscosity and the increase in the stiffness coefficient. The dependence of the limiting temperature T_lim on the mass number and the multipolarity of the nuclear-surface distortion is calculated. It is shown that T_lim is not influenced by the FSD effect.     

Transverse spin dynamics of a spin-polarized Fermi liquid

A microscopic derivation of the equations of transverse spin dynamics of a spin-polarized Fermi liquid at zero temperature is given in the leading-order approximation in the frequencies and wave vectors characterizing the spin motion. The equations are applicable for arbitrary degree of polarization and arbitrary deviations of the spin direction from the equilibrium orientation. The solutions describing a coherently precessing two-domain structure and spin waves are examined. In contrast to the assertion discussed in the literature that spin waves are damped at zero temperature, spin waves are found to be undamped in the long-wavelength limit. Pis’ma Zh. éksp. Teor.

Heavy-mass fermi liquid near a ferromagnetic instability in layered ruthenates

Low temperature magnetic, thermal, and transport measurements in Ca2-xSrxRuO4 clarify the appearance of a cluster glass phase, after the evolution of a nearly ferromagnetic heavy-mass Fermi liquid from the spin-triplet superconductor Sr2RuO4. As the Mott transition is approached across a 2nd-order structural transition, both the magnetization and specific heat decrease considerably while the transport scattering rate diverges. A metamagnetic transition to a highly spin polarized state, with a local moment S=1/2, is observed. We argue that an orbital rearrangement with Ca substitution changes itinerant ferromagnetism to antiferromagnetism of localized moments.     

Experimental evidence for fast heterogeneous collective structural relaxation in a supercooled liquid near the glass transition

We have extended the exploration of microscopic dynamics of supercooled liquids to small wave numbers Q corresponding to the scale of intermediate range order, by developing a new experimental approach for precise data correction for multiple scattering noise in inelastic coherent neutron scattering. Our results in supercooled Ca0.4K0.6(NO3)(1.4) reveal the first direct experimental evidence, after a decade of controversy, that the so-called picosecond process around the glass transition corresponds to a predicted first, faster stage of the structural relaxation. In addition, they show that this process takes the spatial form of fast heterogeneous collective flow of correlated groups of atoms.     

Transition from a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid to a fermi liquid in potassium-intercalated bundles of single-wall carbon nanotubes

We report on the first direct observation of a transition from a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid to a Fermi-liquid behavior in potassium-intercalated mats of single-wall carbon nanotubes. Using high resolution photoemission spectroscopy, an analysis of the spectral shape near the Fermi level reveals a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid power law scaling in the density of states for the pristine sample and for low dopant concentration. As soon as the doping is high enough to achieve a filling of the conduction bands of the semiconducting tubes, a distinct transition to metallic single-wall carbon nanotube bundles with the scaling behavior of a normal Fermi liquid occurs.     

Optical orientation and femtosecond relaxation of spin-polarized holes in GaAs

Optical orientation of spin-polarized heavy and light holes followed by relaxation to other valence subband states has been observed unambiguously in undoped bulk GaAs in spite of the extremely short spin relaxation time. The measured relaxation time for the heavy holes is 110 fs +/-10%. The results are relevant for applications such as interpretation of spin-polarized transport in semiconductors as well as the assessment of feasibility of hole-based spin-transport devices which relies on precise knowledge of the hole-spin relaxation time.     

Marginal fermi liquid theory in the Hubbard model

We find marginal-Fermi-liquid- (MFL) like behavior in the Hubbard model on a square lattice for a range of hole doping and on-site interaction parameter U. Thereby we use a self-consistent projection operator method. It enables us to compute the momentum and frequency dependence of the single-particle excitations with high resolution. The Fermi surface is found to be holelike in the underdoped regime and electronlike in the overdoped regime. Our calculations concern normal state properties of the system. When a comparison is possible, we find consistency with finite temperature quantum Monte Carlo results. We also find a discontinuous change with doping concentration from a MFL to a Fermi-liquid behavior resulting from a collapse of the lower Hubbard band. This renders Luttinger's theorem inapplicable in the underdoped regime.     

T-approximation in the theory of normal fermi liquid

The coefficient of viscosity of³He is used as an example for considering the problem of calculating the macrocharacteristics of Fermi systems within the framework of the statistical eikonal T-approximation. It is shown that within the framework of the microscopic theory, it is possible to obtain an expression, without phenomenological parameters, which describes the viscosity not only in the temperature range in which the Landau theory is applicable but also in the range of little degeneracy.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 10, pp. 12–16, October, 1978.     

Quantum critical behavior near a density-wave instability in an isotropic fermi liquid

We study the quantum critical behavior in an isotropic Fermi liquid in the vicinity of a zero-temperature density-wave transition at a finite wave vector qc. We show that, near the transition, the Landau damping of the soft bosonic mode yields a crossover in the fermionic self-energy from Sigma(k,omega) approximately Sigma(k) to Sigma(k,omega) approximately Sigma(omega), where k and omega are momentum and frequency. Because of this self-generated locality, the fermionic effective mass diverges right at the quantum critical point, not before; i.e., the Fermi liquid survives up to the critical point.     

New effective interaction for the trapped fermi gas

We apply the configuration-interaction method to calculate the spectra of two-component Fermi systems in a harmonic trap, studying the convergence of energies at the unitary interaction limit. We find that for a fixed regularization of the two-body interaction the convergence is exponential or better in the truncation parameter of the many-body space. However, the conventional regularization is found to have poor convergence in the regularization parameter, with an error that scales as a low negative power of this parameter. We propose a new regularization of the two-body interaction that produces exponential convergence for systems of three and four particles. We estimate the ground-state energy of the four-particle system to be (5.045 +/- 0.003) variant Planck's constant over 2 pi omega.     

Numerical evidence for critical behavior of the two-dimensional nonequilibrium zero-temperature random field Ising model

We give numerical evidence that the two-dimensional nonequilibrium zero-temperature random field Ising model exhibits critical behavior. Our findings are based on the results of scaling analysis and collapsing of data, obtained in extensive simulations of systems with sizes sufficiently large to clearly display the critical behavior.
