Persistent superfluid phase in a three-dimensional quantum XY model with ring exchange
We present quantum Monte Carlo simulation results on a quantum S=1/2 XY model
with ring exchange (the J-K model) on a three-dimensional simple cubic lattice.
We first characterize the ground state properties of the pure XY model,
obtaining estimations for the energy, spin stiffness and spin susceptibility at
T=0 in the superfluid phase. With the ring exchange, we then present simulation
data on small lattices which suggests that the superfluid phase persists to
very large values of the ring exchange K, without signatures of a phase
transition. We comment on the consequences of this result for the search for
various exotic phases in three dimensions.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Nonlocal effects on magnetism in the diluted magnetic semiconductor Ga_{1-x}Mn_{x}As
The magnetic properties of the diluted magnetic semiconductor
Ga_{1-x}Mn_{x}As are studied within the dynamical cluster approximation. We use
the k-dot-p Hamiltonian to describe the electronic structure of GaAs with
spin-orbit coupling and strain effects. We show that nonlocal effects are
essential for explaining the experimentally observed transition temperature and
saturation magnetization. We also demonstrate that the cluster anisotropy is
very strong and induces rotational frustration and a cube-edge direction
magnetic anisotropy at low temperature. With this, we explain the
temperature-driven spin reorientation in this system.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures; to be published in Phys. Rev. Let
The spin-half Heisenberg antiferromagnet on two Archimedian lattices: From the bounce lattice to the maple-leaf lattice and beyond
We investigate the ground state of the two-dimensional Heisenberg
antiferromagnet on two Archimedean lattices, namely, the maple-leaf and bounce
lattices as well as a generalized - model interpolating between both
systems by varying from (bounce limit) to (maple-leaf
limit) and beyond. We use the coupled cluster method to high orders of
approximation and also exact diagonalization of finite-sized lattices to
discuss the ground-state magnetic long-range order based on data for the
ground-state energy, the magnetic order parameter, the spin-spin correlation
functions as well as the pitch angle between neighboring spins. Our results
indicate that the "pure" bounce () and maple-leaf () Heisenberg
antiferromagnets are magnetically ordered, however, with a sublattice
magnetization drastically reduced by frustration and quantum fluctuations. We
found that magnetic long-range order is present in a wide parameter range and that the magnetic order parameter varies only
weakly with . At a direct first-order transition to
a quantum orthogonal-dimer singlet ground state without magnetic long-range
order takes place. The orthogonal-dimer state is the exact ground state in this
large- regime, and so our model has similarities to the Shastry-Sutherland
model. Finally, we use the exact diagonalization to investigate the
magnetization curve. We a find a 1/3 magnetization plateau for and another one at 2/3 of saturation emerging only at large .Comment: 9 pages, 10 figure
Extent of Fermi-surface reconstruction in the high-temperature superconductor HgBaCuO
High magnetic fields have revealed a surprisingly small Fermi-surface in
underdoped cuprates, possibly resulting from Fermi-surface reconstruction due
to an order parameter that breaks translational symmetry of the crystal
lattice. A crucial issue concerns the doping extent of this state and its
relationship to the principal pseudogap and superconducting phases. We employ
pulsed magnetic field measurements on the cuprate HgBaCuO to
identify signatures of Fermi surface reconstruction from a sign change of the
Hall effect and a peak in the temperature-dependent planar resistivity. We
trace the termination of Fermi-surface reconstruction to two hole
concentrations where the superconducting upper critical fields are found to be
enhanced. One of these points is associated with the pseudogap end-point near
optimal doping. These results connect the Fermi-surface reconstruction to both
superconductivity and the pseudogap phenomena.Comment: 5 pages. 3 Figures. PNAS (2020
Optimal control technique for Many Body Quantum Systems dynamics
We present an efficient strategy for controlling a vast range of
non-integrable quantum many body one-dimensional systems that can be merged
with state-of-the-art tensor network simulation methods like the density Matrix
Renormalization Group. To demonstrate its potential, we employ it to solve a
major issue in current optical-lattice physics with ultra-cold atoms: we show
how to reduce by about two orders of magnitudes the time needed to bring a
superfluid gas into a Mott insulator state, while suppressing defects by more
than one order of magnitude as compared to current experiments [1]. Finally, we
show that the optimal pulse is robust against atom number fluctuations.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, published versio
Lattice Kinetics of Diffusion-Limited Coalescence and Annihilation with Sources
We study the 1D kinetics of diffusion-limited coalescence and annihilation
with back reactions and different kinds of particle input. By considering the
changes in occupation and parity of a given interval, we derive sets of
hierarchical equations from which exact expressions for the lattice coverage
and the particle concentration can be obtained. We compare the mean-field
approximation and the continuum approximation to the exact solutions and we
discuss their regime of validity.Comment: 24 pages and 3 eps figures, Revtex, accepted for publication in J.
