Magnetic properties of pure and Gd doped EuO probed by NMR
An Eu NMR study in the ferromagnetic phase of pure and Gd doped EuO was
performed. A complete description of the NMR lineshape of pure EuO allowed for
the influence of doping EuO with Gd impurities to be highlighted. The presence
of a temperature dependent static magnetic inhomogeneity in Gd doped EuO was
demonstrated by studying the temperature dependence of the lineshapes. The
results suggest that the inhomogeneity in 0.6% Gd doped EuO is linked to
colossal magnetoresistance. The measurement of the spin-lattice relaxation
times as a function of temperature led to the determination of the value of the
exchange integral J as a function of Gd doping. It was found that J is
temperature independent and spatially homogeneous for all the samples and that
its value increases abruptly with increasing Gd doping.Comment: 14 pages, 10 figures, to be published in Physical Review
Anomalous behavior of the spin gap of a spin-1/2 two-leg antiferromagnetic ladder with Ising-like rung interactions
Using mainly numerical methods, we investigate the width of the spin gap of a
spin-1/2 two-leg ladder described by \cH= J_\rl \sum_{j=1}^{N/2} [ \vS_{j,a}
\cdot \vS_{j+1,a} + \vS_{j,b} \cdot \vS_{j+1,b} ] + J_\rr \sum_{j=1}^{N/2}
[\lambda (S^x_{j,a} S^x_{j,b} + S^y_{j,a} S^y_{j,b}) + S^z_{j,a} S^z_{j,b}] ,
where denotes the -component of the spin-1/2
operator at the -th site of the chain. We mainly focus on the J_\rr
\gg J_\rl > 0 and case. The width of the spin gap as a
function of anomalously increases near ; for instance,
for when . The gap formation
mechanism is thought to be different for the
cases. Since, in usual cases, the width of the gap becomes zero or small at the
point where the gap formation mechanism changes, the above gap-increasing
phenomenon in the present case is anomalous. We explain the origin of this
anomalous phenomenon by use of the degenerate perturbation theory. We also draw
the ground-state phase diagram.Comment: 4 pages, 11 figures; Proc. "The International Conference on Quantum

Time-dependent correlation function of the Jordan-Wigner operator as a Fredholm determinant
We calculate a correlation function of the Jordan-Wigner operator in a class
of free-fermion models formulated on an infinite one-dimensional lattice. We
represent this function in terms of the determinant of an integrable Fredholm
operator, convenient for analytic and numerical investigations. By using Wick's
theorem, we avoid the form-factor summation customarily used in literature for
treating similar problems.Comment: references added, introduction and conclusion modified, version

The phase transition in the localized ferromagnet EuO probed by muSR
We report results of muon spin rotation measurements performed on the
ferromagnetic semiconductor EuO, which is one of the best approximations to a
localized ferromagnet. We argue that implanted muons are sensitive to the
internal field primarily through a combination of hyperfine and Lorentz fields.
The temperature dependences of the internal field and the relaxation rate have
been measured and are compared with previous theoretical predictions.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
On the Two-Point Correlation Function in Dynamical Scaling and SCHR\"Odinger Invariance
The extension of dynamical scaling to local, space-time dependent rescaling
factors is investigated. For a dynamical exponent , the corresponding
invariance group is the Schr\"odinger group. Schr\"odinger invariance is shown
to determine completely the two-point correlation function. The result is
checked in two exactly solvable models.Comment: Geneva preprint UGVA/DPT 1992/09-783, plain Tex 6pp (to appear in

Magnetic Excitations of the 2-D Sm Spin Layers in Sm(La,Sr)CuO4
We present specific heat and susceptibility data on Sm(La,Sr)CuO4 in magnetic
fields up to 9 T and temperatures down to 100 mK. We find a broad peak in
specific heat which is insensitive to magnetic field at a temperature of 1.5 K
with a value of 2.65 J/mol K. The magnetic susceptibility at 5 T continues to
increase down to 2 K, the lowest temperature measured. The data suggest that
the Sm spin system may be an ideal realization of the frustrated Heisenberg
antiferromagnet on the square lattice.Comment: 2 pages, 2 figures, submitted to IC
Results of charged pions cross-section in proton carbon interaction at 31 GeV/c measured with the NA61/SHINE detector
Among other goals, the NA61/SHINE (SHINE=SPS Heavy Ion and Neutrino
Experiment) detector at CERN SPS aims at precision hadro-production
measurements to characterise the neutrino beam of the T2K experiment at J-PARC.
These measurements are performed using a 31 GeV/c proton beam produced at the
SPS with a thin carbon target and a full T2K replica target. Spectra of charged
pion inclusive inelastic cross section were obtained from pilot data collected
in 2007 1 with a 2 cm thick target (4% of the interaction length). The SHINE
detector and its particle identification capabilities are described and the
analysis techniques are briefly discussed
Preliminary results of charged pions cross-section in proton carbon interaction at 30 GeV measured with the NA61/SHINE detector
As the intensity of neutrino beams produced at accelerators increases,
important systematic errors due to poor knowledge of production cross sections
for pions and kaons arise. Among other goals, the NA61/SHINE (SHINE=SPS Heavy
Ion and Neutrino Experiment) detector at CERN SPS aims at precision
hadro-production measurements to characterise the neutrino beam of the T2K
experiment at J-PARC. These measurements are performed using a 30GeV proton
beam produced at the SPS with a thin carbon target and a full T2K replica
target. Preliminary spectra of and inclusive cross section
were obtained from pilot data collected in 2007 with a 2 cm thick target. After
a description of the SHINE detector and its particle identification
capabilities, results from three different analysis are discussed
Scattering theory of interface resistance in magnetic multilayers
The scattering theory of transport has to be applied with care in a diffuse
environment. Here we discuss how the scattering matrices of heterointerfaces
can be used to compute interface resistances of dirty magnetic multilayers.
First principles calculations of these interface resistances agree well with
experiments in the CPP (current perpendicular to the interface plane)
configuration.Comment: submitted to J. Phys. D (special issue at the occasion of Prof. T.
