Very strong interlayer exchange coupling in epitaxial Fe/Fe1−xSix/Fe trilayers (x=0.4–1.0)

Fe/Fe_1−xSi_x/Fe (x=0.4–1.0) wedge-type epitaxial trilayers with improved homogeneity are grown by co-evaporation from two electron-beam sources. The coupling strengths of the bilinear (J₁) and biquadratic (J₂) coupling terms are derived from Brillouin light scattering (BLS) spectra and longitudinal MOKE hysteresis loops. The total coupling strength J=J₁+J₂ increases dramatically with increasing x and reaches values in excess of 6 mJ/m².

Magnetic properties and percolation threshold in diluted B-spinel ZnCr2xAl2−2xS4: a study through high-temperature expansions

By making use of high-temperature series expansions (HTSE) of the correlation functions, we study the thermal and disorder variation of the short-range order (SRO) in the particular B-spinel ZnCr_2xAl_2−2xS₄. We developed the HTSE for the q-dependent static structure factor S(q) to the order 6 in reciprocal temperature including both the nearest- and next-nearest-neighbour interactions J₁ and J₂, respectively. Respecting the experimental fact that the broad diffuse peak of the neutron is situated at the particular wave vector q₀=[0 0 0.79] and is insensitive to the temperature for a given ratio of dilution x, we have estimated the thermal variation of J₁ and J₂ in the case of the pure compound.

The bond percolation threshold x_p of the ZnCr_2xAl_2−2xS₄ is determined by studying the disorder variation of the correlation length ξ. The x_p is considered as the concentration at which ξ vanishes. The obtained values are x_p=0.27 when only J₁ is considered and 0.23 when both J₁ and J₂ are taken into account.     

Possible phase transition of anisotropic frustrated Heisenberg model at finite temperature

The frustrated spin-1/2 J_1a–J_1b–J₂ antiferromagnet with anisotropy on the two-dimensional square lattice was investigated, where the parameters J_1aand J_1b represent the nearest neighbor exchanges and along the x and y directions, respectively. J₂ represents the next-nearest neighbor exchange. The anisotropy includes the spatial and exchange anisotropies. Using the double-time Green’s function method, the effects of the interplay of exchanges and anisotropy on the possible phase transition of the Néel state and stripe state were discussed. Our results indicated that, in the case of anisotropic parameter 0≤η<1, the Néel and stripe states can exist and have the same critical temperature as long as J₂ = J_1b/2. Under such parameters, a first-order phase transformation between the Néel and stripe states can occur below the critical point. For J₂ ≠J_1b/2, our results indicate that the Néel and stripe states can also exist, while their critical temperatures differ. When J₂>J_1b/2, a first-order phase transformation between the two states may also occur. However, for J₂<J_1b/2, the Néel state is always more stable than the stripe state.     

Surface roughness dependence of the first-order probability density function for integrated speckle

The surface roughness dependence of the first-order probability density function (PDF) of an integrated speckle pattern, produced in the condition of circular detection aperture and gaussian scattering spot, was theoretically investigated. The mutual intensity J_A(x₁, y₁; x₂, y₂) containing two roughness parameters, dispersion of surface height ø² lateral correlation length x_c, was calculated. The exact first-order probability density function was analytically derived and numerically calculated by means of the Karhunen-Loeve expansion and fast Fourier transform (FFT). As a diffuse object became smooth, the first order probability density function was changed from negative exponential to sharp peak gaussian centered around mean intensity.     

Ising spin glass on a D = 3 hierarchical lattice: Effects of tailed coupling distributions

Within a real-space renormalization-group framework, we approach the cubic lattice through a D = 3 diamond-like hierarchical lattice. The model is a standard, nearest-neighbor, Ising spin glass with coupling constants {J_ij} distributed according to the family of continuous probability distributions P_q(J_ij) ∝ 1/[1 + (q − 1)J_ij²/2J²]^{1/(q − 1)} (if 1 + (q − 1) J_ij²/2J² > 0, and zero otherwise; q ). Such distributions, which arise naturally in the treatment, within the recently proposed nonextensive thermostatistics, of anomalous diffusion, reproduce the usual, Gaussian case, for q → 1. Moreover, they present a second moment J_ij² proportional to (5 − 3q)⁻¹ for q < 5/3, diverging for q ≥ 5/3, but keeping a finite width at midheight. In the limit q → 3, P_q(J_ij) collapses with the abscissa, and so the width at midheight diverges. We compute the q-dependence of the spin-glass critical temperature T_c. We show numerically that T_c does not scale with J_ij^21/2 (contrary to the usual belief), but rather with the width at midheight of P_q(J_ij). Our results suggest that T_c vanishes as −1/q when q → −∞; furthermore, we verified that T_c diverges exponentially when q approaches 3 from below.     

Effective activation energy Ue(T,J,H) in textured Bi1.84Pb0.4Sr2Ca2Cu3Oy silver-clamped thick films

We have measured the resistivity of textured Bi_1.84Pb_0.4Sr₂Ca₂Cu₃O_y silver-clamped thick films as a function of temperature, current density ranging from 10 to 1×10³ A/cm² and magnetic field up to 0.3 T. We find that the effective activation energy U_e follows U_e(T,J,H)=U₀(1−T/T_p)^mln(J_c0/J)H⁻ with m=1.75 for Hab-plane and 2.5 for Hc-axis and =0.76 for Hab and 0.97 for Hc, for the current density regime above 100 A/cm², where T_p is a function of applied magnetic field and current density. This result suggests the effective activation energy U_e be correlated with the temperature, current density and magnetic field. The possible dissipative mechanisms responsible for the temperature, current density and magnetic field dependence of the effective activation energy are discussed.     

High temperature susceptibility of semimagnetic-semiconductor Zn1-xMnxS

This paper gives an analysis of the high temperature susceptibility of diluted semimagnetic-semiconductor Zn_{1 − x}Mn_xS. The high-temperature susceptibility of Zn_{1 − x}Mn_xS was found to behave in accordance with the Curie-Weiss law. From _χ(T) measurements the exchange integral of Mn²⁺ -Mn²⁺ interaction 2J₁/k_B = (-34.6±0.5) K (effective exchange integral) was obtained. A spin S = 2.6±0.1, close to its atomic value S = , was also found. The role of the superexchange in this alloy is shortly discussed at the end of the paper.     

Conductivity peaks broadening in the quantum Hall regime

We argue that it is the hopping transport that is responsible for broadening of the σ_xx peaks. Explicit expressions for the width Δν of a peak as a function of the temperature T, current J and frequency ω are found. It is shown that Δν grows with T as (T/T₁)^κ, where κ is the inverse localization-length exponent. The current J is shown to act like the effective temperature T_eff(J) ∝ J^1/2 if . Broadening of the ohmic ac-conductivity peaks with frequency ω is found to be determined by the effective temperature      

Covalent hadronic molecules induced by shared light quarks

After examining Feynman diagrams corresponding to the ${\bar{D}}^{(* )}{{\rm{\Sigma }}}_{c}^{(* )}$, ${\bar{D}}^{(* )}{{\rm{\Lambda }}}_{c}$, ${D}^{(* )}{\bar{K}}^{* }$, and ${D}^{(* )}{\bar{D}}^{(* )}$ hadronic molecular states, we propose a possible binding mechanism induced by shared light quarks. This mechanism is similar to the covalent bond in chemical molecules induced by shared electrons. We use the method of QCD sum rules to calculate its corresponding light-quark-exchange diagrams, and the obtained results indicate a model-independent hypothesis: the light-quark-exchange interaction is attractive when the shared light quarks are totally antisymmetric so they obey the Pauli principle. We build a toy model with four parameters to formulize this picture and estimate binding energies of some possibly-existing covalent hadronic molecules. A unique feature of this picture is that the binding energies of the (I)J^P = (0)1⁺ $D{\bar{B}}^{* }/{D}^{* }\bar{B}$ hadronic molecules are much larger than those of the (I)J^P = (0)1⁺ ${{DD}}^{* }/\bar{B}{\bar{B}}^{* }$ ones, while the (I)J^P = (1/2)1/2⁺ $\bar{D}{{\rm{\Sigma }}}_{c}/\bar{D}{{\rm{\Sigma }}}_{b}/B{{\rm{\Sigma }}}_{c}/B{{\rm{\Sigma }}}_{b}$ hadronic molecules have similar binding energies.     

Application of low energy theorems to the new particles

Discussion Compton scattering on the new states we establish the following: The spin J^P = 2⁺ state, an orbital excitation of ψ, must exist, and its coupling to the ψ(3084) is related to the coupling ψX(2800). A spin higher than 2 (probably 3) with negative charge conjugation must exist, and its couplings can be related to the ψ2⁺γ and ψ′2⁺γ couplings. This state might have a substantial radiative width to the 2⁺. These results depend on a saturation assumption of the sum rules, which has always worked well. Its failure will also be of interest.     

Granularity, microstructure, and flux creep in TlBa2Ca2Cu3O9+δ superconducting powder and silver-sheated tapes

Silver-sheathed TlBa₂Ca₂Cu₃O_9+δ (Tl-1223) tapes, with a transport critical current density, J_ct, of 6200 A/cm² at 75 K under zero magnetic field, were fabricated by the oxide-powder-in-tube (OPIT) method and characterized using an X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer. The results of the magnetization and SEM study indicate that, in these tapes, individual grains are distributed randomly in orientation and weak links exist. However, strongly linked percolative current paths within the tape persisting in increasing fields, accompanied by strong intrinsic interplanar coupling, sustain a significant J_ct at high fields and lead to the plateau in the J_ct-H curve. Dislocation networks, which may act as effective pinning centers, are the common features observed in the tapes. To investigate the effects on flux pinning due to thermomechanical processing, magnetic relaxation at 1 and 2 T over 5–50 K was measured. The tape shows slightly lower normalized relaxation rates (S=-(1/M_o)dM/ dln t) than the cauliflower-like precursor powder. Analyses of the relaxation data obtained from the tape, after incorporating temperature dependence and field scaling, yield an expression for the effective pinning energy U_eff(J,T,H) = (U₁/H^0.54)[1-(T/ 72.5)²]⁴(J/J_i)^μ. This result was compared with the prediction of the collective flux-creep model, which suggests that Tl-1223 has a three-dimension-like (3D-like) vortex lattice. Presumably, a more plate-like powder morphology may result in improved texturing by the OPIT process. Tl_0.5Bi_0.5Sr₂CaCu₂O_7+δ ((Tl,Bi)-1212) powder with this morphology was therefore synthesized for comparison.

Raman phonon anomalies in Sr(Fe1-xCox)2As2

Phonon anomalies have been reported in iron-pnictide superconductors indicating a diverse interplay between different orders in the materials.Here,we report Raman scattering measurements on Sr(Fe_1-xCo_x)₂As₂(x=0 and x=0.04)single crystals in the B;symmetry with respect to a 1 Fe unit cell.Upon cooling,we observe a larger split(13 cm;)of Eg Raman phonon modes pertaining to in-plane Fe and As displacements as the crystals undergo the tetragonal-toorthorhombic structural phase transition,although a considerable split(9 cm;)has been reported in BaFe_1-xCo_x)₂As₂.Furthermore,the splitting of E;phonon modes is strongly reduced upon doping.We perform an order-parameter analysis revealing a similar doping dependence of E;phonon splitting as reported in other compounds of the 122 family,indicating these phonon anomalies widely exist in 122 iron-based superconductors and might share the same mechanisms.

Monte Carlo optimisation of correlated wave functions for normal two-electron systems

A simple, new type of correlated wave function is proposed for the studies of normal two-electron atomic systems: ψ(r₁, r₂) = Σc_mΦ_m(r₁, r₂) with Φ_m(r₁, r₂) = exp[−(r₁ + r₂)]/(br₁₂ + a)^m, where , a, b are non-linear variational parameters. A notable feature of this basis function is that only three terms are required within the framework of the Raleigh-Ritz variational principle to obtain fairly accurate energy eigenvalues and satisfactory cusp conditions. The non-linear variational parameters are optimised by using the Monte Carlo technique.     

Fabrication, microstructure and critical current density of screen-printed Ag-(Bi, Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox superconducting tapes

The influence of the sintering conditions on the microstructure and critical current density J_c has been studied on screen-printed Ag-(Bi, Pb)₂Sr₂Ca₂Cu₃O_x tapes with a ceramics mono-layer core. Three kinds of fabrication processes, which consist of a combination of cold working (rolling and/or pressing) and sintering, are applied. Four times repetition of pressing and sintering after the pre-sintering produces the highest c-axis alignment and achieves J_c= 1.5 × 10⁴ A/cm² (77 K, 0 T). The J_c versus θ data with an angle θ between B and the c-axis elucidate the relation between the anisotropy ratio γ=J_c(Bc)/J_c(B|c and the half-height angular width Δθ of a peak for Bc. This is related to both grain alignment and the J_c value. An increase in J_c, which comes from an improvement for grain alignment, enhances γ and narrows Δθ. The J_c versus θ data are fitted to the expression J_c(B, θ)=J _c(B, 90°)/[(γ−1)|cos θ|ⁿ+1] by regarding both γ and n as adjustable parameters. Fabrication of screen-printed tapes with multilayers (1≤N≤5) is presented, where the critical current increases from 8.0 A to 30.2 A at 77 K and 0 T as N increases.     

Projective and affine connections on S and integrable systems

It is known that the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation is a geodesic flow of an L² metric on the Bott–Virasoro group. This can also be interpreted as a flow on the space of projective connections on S¹. The space of differential operators Δ⁽ⁿ⁾=∂ⁿ+u₂∂ⁿ⁻²++u_n form the space of extended or generalized projective connections. If a projective connection is factorizable Δ⁽ⁿ⁾=(∂−((n+1)/2−1)p₁)(∂+(n−1)/2p_n) with respect to quasi primary fields p_i’s, then these fields satisfy ∑_i=1ⁿ((n+1)/2−i)p_i=0. In this paper we discuss the factorization of projective connection in terms of affine connections. It is shown that the Burgers equation and derivative non-linear Schrödinger (DNLS) equation or the Kaup–Newell equation is the Euler–Arnold flow on the space of affine connections.
