We derive the effective low-energy theory for single-wall carbon nanotubes including the Coulomb interactions among electrons. The generic model found here consists of two spin-fermion chains which are coupled by the interaction. We analyze the theory using bosonization, renormalization-group techniques, and Majorana refermionization. Several experimentally relevant consequences of the breakdown of Fermi liquid theory observed here are discussed in detail, e.g., magnetic instabilities, anomalous conductance laws, and impurity screening profiles.

We discuss the macroscopic behavior of smectic CG liquid crystals. Smectic CG is the most general tilted smectic phase that is fluid in the layers. It is characterized by global C1 symmetry. Consequently, it is ferroelectric, pyroelectric and piezoelectric, opening up a number of possible applications for such a phase. As smectic CG-phase has a macroscopic hand due to its structure, it is a natural candidate to explain the recent experimental observations of left and right-handed helices in a system composed of achiral molecules. We also discuss critically to what extent smectic CG could be important for liquid crystalline phases formed by banana-shaped molecules. Phase transitions involving a smectic CG phase and defects of its in-plane director are briefly discussed. Received: 25 March 1998 / Revised: 15 June 1998 / Accepted: 15 July 1998  相似文献

We observe several non-Fermi liquid behaviors in the normal-state transport properties of CeMIn5 (M: Rh and Co) under pressure at low temperatures: (1) The dc-resistivity shows T-linear dependence, ρxxT. (2) The magnitude of Hall coefficient |RH| increases rapidly with decreasing temperature, and reaches a value much larger than |1/ne| at low temperatures. (3) The magnetoresistance displays T- and H-dependence that strongly violate Kohler's rule, and is well scaled by the tangent of the Hall angle, . These non-Fermi liquid properties in the electron transport are remarkably pronounced when the AF fluctuations are enhanced in the vicinity of the quantum critical point. Since all of these salient features have been also reported for high-Tc cuprates, we infer that the non-Fermi liquid transport properties capture universal features of strongly correlated electron systems in the presence of strong antiferromagnetic fluctuations.  相似文献

We consider a generalized Hubbard model with on-site and nearest-neighbour repulsions U and V respectively, and nearest-neighbour hopping for spin up (down) which depends on the total occupation nb of spin down (up) electrons on both sites involved. The hopping parameters are t AA , tAB and tBB for n b =0,1,2 respectively. We briefly summarize results which support that the model exhibits s-wave superconductivity for certain parameters and extend them by studying the Berry phases. Using a generalized Hartree-Fock(HF) BCS decoupling of the two and three-body terms, we obtain that at half filling, for t AB <t AA =t BB and sufficiently small U and V the model leads to triplet p-wave superconductivity for a simple cubic lattice in any dimension. In one dimension, the resulting phase diagram is compared with that obtained numerically using two quantized Berry phases (topological numbers) as order parameters. While this novel method supports the previous results, there are quantitative differences. Received: 2 February 1998 / Accepted: 17 March 1998  相似文献

Density functional techniques are used to derive a charging expression for the non-uniform density of a molecular liquid. In the atomic limit the equation reduces to an exact form due to Fixman. The theory is simplified greatly via a physical approximation that accounts for three-body correlations beyond those included in the hypernetted chain (HNC) closure of the Ornstein-Zernike (OZ) equation. The radial distribution function is obtained as a special case. The theory is tested by examining the phase behavior of two fundamental complex fluids: the homopolymer blend and diblock copolymer melts. For the former it is found, contrary to HNC theory and its molecular generalizations, that a critical temperature Tc is predicted from the structure route. This Tc scales linearly with degree of polymerization N in agreement with Flory theory. The simplest form of the theory can be considered as a way to incorporate attractive interactions within a formalism that is very similar to that of the OZ or reference interaction site model (RISM). The relevance of the theory to charged liquids is also discussed.  相似文献

Between 4.2 K and the Curie temperatures of the cubic Heisenberg ferromagnets EuS and EuO, their homogeneous dynamic susceptibilities have been investigated by means of a broad-band reflectometer operating from 0.1 GHz to 40 GHz. For internal magnetic fields larger than the anisotropy fields H A ( T ) of both materials, their static susceptibilities exhibit a -divergence, which reveals quantitatively the dominance of dipolar-anisotropic spin-wave fluctuations. displays a Lorentzian shape the damping frequency of which obeys scaling in terms of .The scaling function agrees quantitatively with work by Frey and Schwabl [#!FS88!#] for dipolar Heisenberg ferromagnets at temperatures above Tc. Building upon their approach, the resonance frequency of the Lorentzian can be related to a memory effect in the damping determined by the large value of the relaxation rate of the longitudinal magnetization fluctuations . For EuS, this relation is substantiated directly by inelastic neutron scattering. All these features reveal the hitherto uncovered importance of the dipolar anisotropic fluctuations below Tc of ferromagnets. Received: 4 March 1998 / Accepted: 12 May 1998  相似文献

The validity of the optical sum rules has been addressed eversince and was always matter of debate. Particularly controversial is the proof that the partial sum rules can be extended to both optical conductivity and energy loss function. We show in this paper that for both transverse (optical conductivity) and longitudinal (energy loss function) absorption processes the corresponding sum rule can be theoretically established and through appropriate conditions for the integration limits exactly verified. We also focus our attention on the one-dimensional case within the microscopic Hubbard model. An application of these concepts to the quasi one-dimensional systems, for which we have chosen the organic (TMTSF)2PF6 material, will also be presented.

The feasibility of a perturbation expansion for Green's functions of the t-J model directly in terms of X-operators is demonstrated using the Baym-Kadanoff functional method. As an application we derive explicit expressions for the kernel of the linearized equation for the superconducting order parameter in leading order of a 1/N expansion. The linearized equation is solved numerically on a square lattice taking instantaneous and retarded contributions into account. Classifying the order parameter according to irreducible representations of the point group C4v of the square lattice and according to even or odd parity in frequency we find that a reasonably strong instability occurs only for even frequency pairing with d-wavelike symmetry. The corresponding transition temperature Tc is where t is the nearest-neighbor hopping integral. The underlying effective interaction consists of an attractive, instantaneous term and a retarded term due to charge and spin fluctuations. The latter is weakly attractive at low frequencies below ,strongly repulsive up to and attractive towards even higher energies. Tc increases with decreasing doping until a d-wavelike bond-order wave instability is encountered near optimal doping at for J=0.3. Tc is essentially linear in J and rather insensitive to an additional second-nearest neighbor hopping integral t'. A rather striking property of Tc is that it is hardly affected by the soft mode associated with the bond-order wave instability or by the Van Hove singularity in the case with second-nearest neighbor hopping. This unique feature reflects the fact that the solution of the gap equation involves momenta far away from the Fermi surface (due to the instantaneous term) and many frequencies (due to the retarded term) so that singular properties in momentum or frequency are averaged out very effectively.

We define a block persistence probability p l (t) as the probability that the order parameter integrated on a block of linear size l has never changed sign since the initial time in a phase-ordering process at finite temperature T<T c . We argue that in the scaling limit of large blocks, where z is the growth exponent (), is the global (magnetization) persistence exponent and f(x) decays with the local (single spin) exponent for large x. This scaling is demonstrated at zero temperature for the diffusion equation and the large-n model, and generically it can be used to determine easily from simulations of coarsening models. We also argue that and the scaling function do not depend on temperature, leading to a definition of at finite temperature, whereas the local persistence probability decays exponentially due to thermal fluctuations. These ideas are applied to the study of persistence for conserved models. We illustrate our discussions by extensive numerical results. We also comment on the relation between this method and an alternative definition of at finite temperature recently introduced by Derrida [Phys. Rev. E 55, 3705 (1997)].

Using the equation of motion technique for Green's functions we derive the exact solution of the boson fermion model in the atomic limit. Both (fermion and boson) subsystems are characterised by the effective three level excitation spectra. We compute the spectral weights of these states and analyse them in detail with respect to all possible parameters. Although in the atomic limit there is no true phase transition, we notice that upon decreasing temperature some pairing correlations start to appear. Their intensity is found to be proportional to the depleted amount of the fermion nonbonding state. We notice that pairing correlations behave in a fashion observed for the optimally doped and underdoped high Tc superconductors. We try to identify which parameter of the boson fermion model can possibly correspond to the actual doping level. This study clarifies the origin of pairing correlations within the boson fermion model and may elucidate how to apply it for interpretation of experimental data.

We discuss the excess conductivity at nonzero frequencies in a superconductor above Tc within the Gaussian approximation. We focus the attention on the temperature range not too close to Tc: within a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau formulation, we phenomenologically introduce a short wavelength cutoff (of the order of the inverse coherence length) in the fluctuational spectrum to suppress high momentum modes. We treat the general cases of thin wires, anisotropic thin films and anisotropic bulk samples. We obtain in all cases explicit expressions for the finite frequency fluctuational conductivity. The dc case directly follows. Close to Tc the cutoff has no effect, and the known results for Gaussian fluctuations are recovered. Above Tc, and already for ε = ln(T/T c) > 10-2, we find strong suppression of the paraconductivity as compared to the Gaussian prediction, in particular in the real part of the paraconductivity. At high ε the cutoff effects are dominant. We discuss our results in comparison with data on high-Tc superconductors. Received 19 March 2002 Published online 25 June 2002  相似文献

Recent experiments have demonstrated that the dynamics in liquids close to the glass transition temperature is strongly heterogeneous. The characteristic size of these heterogeneities has been measured to be a few nanometers at T g. We extend here a recent model for describing the heterogeneous nature of the dynamics which allows both to derive this length scale and the right orders of magnitude of the heterogeneities of the dynamics close to the glass transition. Our model allows then to interpret quantitatively small probes diffusion experiments.

We report on a theoretical and experimental investigation of 39K magneto-optical trapping. The small hyperfine splitting characterizing the upper level of the cooling transition affects the cooling mechanism. In order to model the atom-laser interaction, the whole level structure of the D2 line has to be taken into account. Two different regimes have been recognized, one optimizing the loading of the trap, the second minimizing the temperature of the atoms. We investigated these two regimes experimentally and found results in agreement with the theoretical predictions.

The dynamical properties of liquid alloys are investigated by means of memory function equations and molecular-dynamics simulation. A simple model for the second-order memory function in a binary liquid, based on Mori's memory function formalism, is proposed and applied in numerical calculations of the time correlation functions and dynamic structure factor of liquid K0.7Cs0.3 and K0.3Cs0.7 alloys. Obtained results are discussed in comparison with the results of computer simulations. Received: 27 February 1998 / Revised: 24 July 1998 / Accepted: 27 July 1998  相似文献

We report measurements of the ascending velocity of air bubbles in protein (bovine serum albumin) solutions. We show that, because of the protein molecules adsorbed on their surface, the terminal ascending velocity of bubbles is strongly reduced compared to the terminal velocity in pure water: protein- covered bubbles behave hydrodynamically as solid spheres. From the evolution of the ascending velocity with time, we can derive the amount of protein needed to immobilize the bubble interface which is 0.5 mg m-2, i.e. only one fifth of the amount adsorbed at equilibrium in the range of used bulk concentrations.

We report Nuclear Magnetic Resonance studies of CeAuAl3 and LaAuAl3 at frequencies between 1.30 and 76.91 MHz and at temperatures from up to . CeAuAl3 is a new heavy-electron compound which orders antiferromagnetically at . For the two inequivalent Al sites of CeAuAl3, the transferred hyperfine couplings and are relatively small compared to those in other Ce compounds. The nuclear quadrupolar coupling constants e2qQ / h are 2.9 MHz and 7.8 MHz, respectively. We suggest that the magnetic structure of the ordered state below is of a simple spiral type with the ordered Ce moments arranged ferromagnetically within the ( ab ) planes of the tetragonal crystal lattice. Based on this magnetic structure we estimate a 25% reduction of the Ce moments, most likely due to Kondo screening. At high temperatures, in the paramagnetic state of CeAuAl3, the spin-lattice relaxation rate T1 -1 is dominated by the fluctuations of the localised Ce moments. At , T1 -1 is , more than two orders of magnitude larger than for the reference compound LaAuAl3. For temperatures lower than T1 -1 decreases as a function of ( T / H ) and below , displays a linear-in-T behaviour, strongly enhanced compared to the reference compound LaAuAl3.

A disclination line populated with point defects that break the translational symmetry forms near a free nematic (N) interface in a confined geometry. The disclination line is, however, absent in the smectic-A phase (SmA). We use this fact to control the formation of point defect distributions on a disclination line by directional melting of the SmA phase in a temperature gradient. A threshold velocity ( v th) exists below which a defect-free disclination line is formed. The frequency of nucleation of point defects increases steadily for v > v th and exhibits a remarkable regularity. We derive an empirical scaling for v th in terms of the experimental tuning parameters. We propose a simple model that allows to understand the formation of the point defects.

The behaviour of the antiferroelectric SmCA liquid crystal phase under applied electric field is discussed theoretically. The phase diagram involving the SmA, SmCA and SmC A * phases is worked out and shown to exhibit a Lifshitz critical point. The deformation of the bilayer structures induced by the field transforms the SmCA phases into a ferrielectric phase whose specific configuration is described.

We report the experimental high electric field phase diagram of a nematic liquid crystal which exhibits a large negative dielectric anisotropy. We measure simultaneously the birefringence (Δn) and the dielectric constant (epsilon) at various applied fields as functions of the local temperature of an aligned sample. We also measure the higher harmonics of the electrical response of the medium. The following experimental results are noted: (i) enhancement of orientational order parameter S in the nematic phase due to both the Kerr effect and quenching of director fluctuations; (ii) enhancement in the paranematic to nematic transition temperature (TPN) with field; (iii) divergence of the order parameter susceptibility beyond the tricritical point as measured by third harmonic electrical signal; (iv) a small second harmonic electrical signal which also diverges near TPN, indicating the presence of polarised domains. Our measurements show that ΔTPN(= TPN(E)-TNI(0)) varies linearly with |E| whereas the Landau de Gennes theory predicts a dependence on E2. It is argued that the quenching of director fluctuations by the field makes the dominant contribution to all the observations, including the thermodynamics of the transition.  相似文献
