Zeeman effects on Josephson current in d-wave superconductor/d-wave superconductor junctions

This paper solves a self-consistent equation for the d-wave superconducting gap and the effective exchange field in the mean-field approximation, and studies the Zeeman effects on the d-wave superconducting gap and thermodynamic potential. The Josephson currents in the d-wave superconductor(S)/insulating layer(I)/d-wave S junctions are calculated as a function of the temperature, exchange field, and insulating barrier strength under a Zeeman magnetic field on the two d-wave Ss. It is found that the Josephson critical currents in d-wave S/d-wave S junction to a great extent depend on the relative orientation of the effective exchange field of the two S electrodes, and the crystal orientation of the d-wave S. The exchange field under certain conditions can enhance the Josephson critical current in a d-wave S/I/d-wave S junction.     

六角多铁性HoMnO3的电子和能带结构

基于密度泛函理论(DFT)结合投影缀加平面波(PAW)方法, 运用广义梯度近似(GGA), 在考虑电子基态自旋阻挫非共线的磁性结构基础上, 研究了具有六角钙钛矿结构HoMnO₃材料的磁性、电子和能带结构, 并解释了相关实验结果. 结果表明: 当考虑Mn³⁺离子的电子自旋在平面内呈阻挫的三角非共线反铁磁(NAFM)排列时, 六角HoMnO₃的总能降低、能隙变大、磁矩增大、各原子的位置更接近于实验值, 电子态密度(DOS)分布具有与X光吸收谱测量更为一致的结果. 对非共线磁性结构计算得到的电子态密度和能带结构的分析发现, 实验中观察到的1.7和2.3 eV两个光学吸收峰都源于Mn³⁺离子3d与平面内O(3, 4) 2p形成的杂化态与Mn [3d_3z²-r²]之间的电子跃迁, 而Ho 5d空轨道与平面上的O(3, 4) 2p轨道之间在z方向的强烈杂化驱动HoMnO₃产生垂直于平面方向的铁电极化.     

应变作用下EuTiO3材料磁性的格林函数理论研究

基于自旋波和格林函数理论,研究了低温下二维应变诱导的EuTiO3在铁电四方相下的磁性性质,主要讨论了在铁电四方相下Eu离子在铁磁性和反铁磁性有序时系统沿不同高对称性方向的自旋波散射和磁化。我们发现施加外加应变不仅可改变晶格结构的对称性,还可以通过改变电子自旋之间的交换耦合作用,进而改变该材料的磁性散射和磁化等。
