Effect of stripe order strength for the Nernst effect in La_{2-x}Sr_xCu_4 single crystals
We have precisely measured the Nernst effect in Nd-doped
LaSrCuO single crystals with controlling the strength
(stability) of the stripe order. We found that the onset temperature
, where the Nernst signal starts increasing, does not change
conspicuously in spite of Nd-doping. At low temperatures, on the other hand,
the absolute value of the Nernst signal is strongly suppressed in accordance
with the strength of the stripe order. These results imply that the fluctuation
of (charge) stripe order enhances the Nernst signal below at high
temperatures, and then the stripe order enhanced by Nd-doping suppresses the
superconducting fluctuation to reduce the Nernst signal at low temperatures. We
also observed an increase of the Nernst signal below the charge order
temperature which is observed in diffraction measurement.Comment: 3pages, 2figure
Universal Scaling Behavior of Anomalous Hall Effect and Anomalous Nernst Effect in Itinerant Ferromagnets
Anomalous Hall effect (AHE) and anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) in a variety of
ferromagnetic metals including pure metals, oxides, and chalcogenides, are
studied to obtain unified understandings of their origins. We show a universal
scaling behavior of anomalous Hall conductivity as a function of
longitudinal conductivity over five orders of magnitude, which is
well explained by a recent theory of the AHE taking into account both the
intrinsic and extrinsic contributions. ANE is closely related with AHE and
provides us with further information about the low-temperature electronic state
of itinerant ferromagnets. Temperature dependence of transverse Peltier
coefficient shows an almost similar behavior among various
ferromagnets, and this behavior is in good agreement quantitatively with that
expected from the Mott rule.Comment: 4pages, 4figures, 1tabl
EuSrMnO: a three-dimensional XY spin glass
The frequency, temperature, and dc-bias dependence of the ac-susceptibility
of a high quality single crystal of the EuSrMnO layered
manganite is investigated. EuSrMnO behaves like a XY spin
glass with a strong basal anisotropy. Dynamical and static scalings reveal a
three-dimensional phase transition near = 18 K, and yield critical
exponent values between those of Heisenberg- and Ising-like systems, albeit
slightly closer to the Ising case. Interestingly, as in the latter system, the
here observed rejuvenation effects are rather weak. The origin and nature of
the low temperature XY spin glass state is discussed.Comment: REVTeX 4 style; 5 pages, 4 figure
Nonequilibrium Current in the One Dimensional Hubbard Model at Half-Filling
Nonlinear transport in the one dimensional Hubbard model at half-filling
under a finite bias voltage is investigated by the adaptive time-dependent
density matrix renormalization group method. For repulsive on-site interaction,
dielectric breakdown of the Mott insulating ground state to a current-carrying
nonequilibrium steady state is clearly observed when the voltage exceeds the
charge gap. It is found that by increasing the voltage further the
current-voltage characteristics are scaled only by the charge gap and the
scaling curve exhibits almost linear dependence on the voltage whose slope is
suppressed by the electron correlation. In the case of attractive interaction
the linear conductance is the perfect one which agrees with the
prediction by the Luttinger liquid theory.Comment: 4 pages, 7 figure
Anomalous Hall Effect and Magnetic Monopoles in Momentum-Space
Efforts to find the magnetic monopole in real space have been made in cosmic
rays and in accelerators, but up to now there is no firm evidence for its
existence due to the very heavy mass GeV. However, we show that
the magnetic monopole can appear in the crystal-momentum space of solids in the
accessible low energy region (eV) in the context of the anomalous
Hall effect. We report experimental results together with first-principles
calculations on the ferromagnetic crystal SrRuO that provide evidence for
the magnetic monopole in the crystal-momentum space.Comment: 4 figures, the supporting-online-materails are include
Bandwidth-disorder phase diagram of half doped layered manganites
Phase diagrams in the plane of (the average ionic radius, related to
one-electron bandwidth ) and (the ionic radius variance,
measuring the quenched disorder), or ``bandwidth-disorder phase diagrams'',
have been established for perovskite manganites, with three-dimensional (3)
Mn-O network. Here we establish the intrinsic bandwidth-disorder phase diagram
of half-doped layered manganites with the two-dimensional (2) Mn-O network,
examining in detail the ``mother state'' of the colossal magnetoresistance
(CMR) phenomenon in crystals without ferromagnetic instability. The
consequences of the reduced dimensionality, from 3 to 2, on the
order-disorder phenomena in the charge-orbital sectors are also highlighted.Comment: REVTeX 4 style; 5 pages, 4 figure
