Absence of spontaneous magnetization in spin systems with competing interactions

It is rigorously proved that spontaneous magnetization is absent in disordered spin systems if the strength of interaction is distributed symmetrically around a vanishing mean value, as a consequence of local gauge symmetry. This result is extended also to asymmetric distributions. A comment is made on gauge symmetry and frustration in quantum spin systems.     

Analysis of longitudinal multispin orders in strongly coupled spin systems

Longitudinal multispin orders provide an effective way for measurement of scalar couplings and also to probe molecular interactions and dynamics. Analysis of longitudinal orders has been made in strongly coupled AB and ABX spin systems to determine the dependence of strong coupling parameter on these orders. Experimental and simulated spectra of various longitudinal orders are illustrated for these spin systems. This general procedure can be extended to broad range of spin systems to understand the influence of strong coupling on longitudinal orders.     

Information storage capacity of discrete spin systems

Understanding the limits imposed on information storage capacity of physical systems is a problem of fundamental and practical importance which bridges physics and information science. There is a well-known upper bound on the amount of information that can be stored reliably in a given volume of discrete spin systems which are supported by gapped local Hamiltonians. However, all the previously known systems were far below this theoretical bound, and it remained open whether there exists a gapped spin system that saturates this bound. Here, we present a construction of spin systems which saturate this theoretical limit asymptotically by borrowing an idea from fractal properties arising in the Sierpinski triangle. Our construction provides not only the best classical error-correcting code which is physically realizable as the energy ground space of gapped frustration-free Hamiltonians, but also a new research avenue for correlated spin phases with fractal spin configurations.     

Competing spin waves and superconducting fluctuations in strongly correlated electron systems

A special diagram technique recently proposed for strongly correlated electron systems is used to study the peculiarities of a spin-density wave (SDW) in competition with superconductivity. This method allows formulation of the Dyson equations for the renormalized electron propagators of the co-existing phases of SDW antiferromagnetism and superconductivity. We find the surprising result that triplet superconductivity appears provided that we have the co-existence of singlet superconductivity and SDW antiferromagnetism. A special ansatz, which takes into account the full Green's functions as well as the dynamical structure of the correlations, is used to establish the equations determining the gap functions and order parameters.     

Ground-state approximation for strongly interacting spin systems in arbitrary spatial dimension

We introduce a variational method for the approximation of ground states of strongly interacting spin systems in arbitrary geometries and spatial dimensions. The approach is based on weighted graph states and superpositions thereof. These states allow for the efficient computation of all local observables (e.g., energy) and include states with diverging correlation length and unbounded multiparticle entanglement. As a demonstration, we apply our approach to the Ising model on 1D, 2D, and 3D square lattices. We also present generalizations to higher spins and continuous-variable systems, which allows for the investigation of lattice field theories.     

Resonating valence bond wave functions for strongly frustrated spin systems

The resonating-valence-bond (RVB) theory for two-dimensional quantum antiferromagnets is shown to be the correct paradigm for large enough "quantum frustration." This scenario, proposed a long time ago but never confirmed by microscopic calculations, is strongly supported by a new type of variational wave function, which is extremely close to the exact ground state of the J(1)-J(2) Heisenberg model for 0.4 less than approximately J(2)/J(1) less than approximately 0.5. This wave function is proposed to represent the generic spin-half RVB ground state in spin liquids.

Two-Dimensional spin-echo multiple-quantum transitions in strongly coupled spin systems. Calculation of spectra

A general method for computation of two-dimensional spin-echo multiple-quantum spectra of strongly coupled spin systems is presented. It has been demonstrated that the 180° pulse can severely modify the multiple-quantum spectra of strongly coupled spins and explicit spectral details are given for the spin systems of types AB, ABX, and AB₂. In addition to the modified frequencies and additional transitions, it is found that such spectra possess additional frequency symmetry with respect to the center of each multiple-quantum order, even though the multiple-quantum spectrum without the 180° pulse may not be symmetric. The ABX spin system is treated in detail and the behavior of the homonuclear and heteronuclear multiple-quantum transitions in the presence of selective or nonselective 180° pulses is discussed. It has been demonstrated that strong coupling allows transfer of magnetization from abundant spins to a coupled rare spin even in the absence of excitation pulses on abundant spins. The amplitudes of various coherences created by selective and nonselective pulses and the nature of spin-echo zero-quantum transitions of strongly coupled spins are discussed in appendices.     

The spin coherence relaxation in the rotating frame as a microscopy parameter for strongly coupled spin systems.

The transverse relaxation time in the rotating frame T2rho is proposed as an effective parameter to get specific contrast in solid state imaging. Several peculiarities make T2rho an interesting candidate to map dynamics and structure in solids: the effect of the secular spin interaction can be controlled by the experimenter and therefore the relaxation associated with the nonsecular terms, which is particularly sensitive to very slow dynamics, can be observed. In this paper we present preliminary results obtained on polymers and prove the capability of the MARF Imaging, enhanced by a filter based on rotary echo refocusing, to produce images of solids contrasted by T2rho.     

The effect of magnetic ordering on the quantum temperature oscillations of current-carrier magnetization in strongly correlated systems

We show that the effect of magnetic ordering in magnetic semiconductors by the mechanism of s-d(f) exchange interaction plays an important role in explaining the quantum temperature oscillations of band-electron magnetization that were discovered in the experiments of S. G. Ovchinnikov, V. K. Chernov, A. D. Balaev, N. B. Ivanova, B. P. Khrustalev, and V. A. Levshin (JETP Lett. 64, 642 (1995)). We analyze how hybridization of band and localized electrons affects the amplitude of this effect. Finally, we establish that because of strong intratomic correlations the amplitude of the oscillation effects depends to a great extent on the sign of the exchange constant J. Zh. éksp. Teor. Fiz. 111, 654–668 (February 1997)     

Self-consistent treatment of spin and magnetization dynamic effect in spin transfer switching

The effect of itinerant spin moment (m) dynamic in spin transfer switching has been ignored in most previous theoretical studies of the magnetization (M) dynamics. Thus in this paper, we proposed a more refined micromagnetic model of spin transfer switching that takes into account in a self-consistent manner of the coupled m and M dynamics. The numerical results obtained from this model further shed insight on the switching profiles of m and M, both of which show particular sensitivity to parameters such as the anisotropy field, the spin torque field, and the initial deviation between m and M.     

Spectroscopic characteristics of relaxing systems

The motion of a relaxing system can be revealed by its optical properties. the computed emission spectrum of an excited solid-state impurity in a crystal, which relaxes towards the equilibrium position, exhibits a series of peaks revealing the stops at the classical turning points. Detection limits are discussed.     

Biased quasiballistic spin torque magnetization reversal

We explore the ultrafast limit of spin torque magnetization reversal time. Spin torque precession during a spin torque current pulse and free magnetization ringing after the pulse is detected by time-resolved magnetotransport. Adapting the duration of the pulse to the precession period allows coherent control of the final orientation of the magnetization. In the presence of a hard axis bias field, we find optimum quasiballistic spin torque magnetization reversal by a single precessional turn directly from the initial to the reversed equilibrium state.     

Evolution of spin susceptibility from the Pauli to Curie-Weiss type in strongly correlated Fermi systems

The magnetic properties of strongly correlated Fermi systems are studied within the framework of the fermioncondensation model—phase transition associated with the rearrangement of the Landau quasiparticle distribution, resulting in the appearance of a plateau at T=0 exactly in the Fermi surface of the single-particle excitation spectrum. It is shown that the Curie-Weiss term ～T^?1 appears in the expression for the spin susceptibility χ_ac(T) of the system after the transition point at finite temperatures. The behavior of χ_ac(T, H) as a function of temperature and static magnetic field H in the region where the critical fermion-condensation temperature T _f is close to zero is discussed. The results are compared with the available experimental data.     

Nuclear spin relaxation in strongly disordered superconductors

The influence of nonmagnetic impurity and spin-orbit scattering on the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate in strongly disordered superconductors is presented. Using Anderson's exact-eigenstate formalism, it is shown that there exist two effects of disorder onT ₁ ^–1 . Firstly, nonmagnetic impurity and spin-orbit scattering enhances the magnitude of the relaxation rate in the same manner as in the normal dirty metal due to the diffusive nature of quasiparticle motion. Secondly, the Hebel-Slichter peak becomes suppressed due to the disorder enhancement of the quasiparticle inelastic scattering rate due to phonon, Coulomb, and/or spin-fluctuation interactions. Comparison with the available experimental data is made.     

Thermodynamic magnetization of a strongly correlated two-dimensional electron system

We measure thermodynamic magnetization of a low-disordered, strongly correlated two-dimensional electron system in silicon. Pauli spin susceptibility is observed to grow critically at low electron densities—behavior that is characteristic of the existence of a phase transition. A new, parameter-free method is used to directly determine the spectrum characteristics (Landé g-factor and the cyclotron mass) when the Fermi level lies outside the spectral gaps and the inter-level interactions between quasiparticles are avoided. It turns out that, unlike in the Stoner scenario, the critical growth of the spin susceptibility originates from the dramatic enhancement of the effective mass, while the enhancement of the g-factor is weak and practically independent of the electron density.
