Quantum phase transitions in a new exactly solvable quantum spin biaxial model with multiple spin interactions
The new integrable quantum spin model is proposed. The model has a biaxial
magnetic anisotropy of alternating coupling between spins together with
multiple spin interactions. Our model gives the possibility to exactly find
thermodynamic characteristics of the considered spin chain. The ground state of
the model can reveal spontaneous values of the total magnetic and
antiferromagnetic moments, caused by multiple spin couplings. Also, in the
ground state, depending on the strength of multiple spin couplings, our model
manifests several quantum critical points, some of which are governed by the
external magnetic field
Homomorphic encryption and some black box attacks
This paper is a compressed summary of some principal definitions and concepts
in the approach to the black box algebra being developed by the authors. We
suggest that black box algebra could be useful in cryptanalysis of homomorphic
encryption schemes, and that homomorphic encryption is an area of research
where cryptography and black box algebra may benefit from exchange of ideas
Ab initio Evidence for Giant Magnetoelectric Responses Driven by Structural Softness
We show that inducing structural softness in regular magnetoelectric (ME)
multiferroics -- i.e., tuning the materials to make their structure strongly
reactive to applied fields -- makes it possible to obtain very large ME
effects. We present illustrative first-principles results for BiFeO3 thin
films.Comment: 4 pages with 3 figures embedded. More information at

Dissipationless Spin Current between Two Coupled Ferromagnets
We demonstrate the general principle which states that a dissipationless spin
current flows between two coupled ferromagnets if their magnetic orders are
misaligned. This principle applies regardless the two ferromagnets are metallic
or insulating, and also generally applies to bulk magnetic insulators. On a
phenomenological level, this principle is analogous to Josephson effect, and
yields a dissipationless spin current that is independent from scattering. The
microscopic mechanisms for the dissipationless spin current depend on the
systems, which are elaborated in details. A uniform, static magnetic field is
further proposed to be an efficient handle to create the misaligned
configuration and stabilize the dissipationless spin current.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figure
Prediction for new magnetoelectric fluorides
We use symmetry considerations in order to predict new magnetoelectric
fluorides. In addition to these magnetoelectric properties, we discuss among
these fluorides the ones susceptible to present multiferroic properties. We
emphasize that several materials present ferromagnetic properties. This
ferromagnetism should enhance the interplay between magnetic and dielectric
properties in these materials.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figures, To appear in Journal of Physics: Condensed

Magnetoelectric response of multiferroic BiFeO3 and related materials
We present a first-principles scheme for computing the magnetoelectric
response of multiferroics. We apply our method to BiFeO3 (BFO) and related
compounds in which Fe is substituted by other magnetic species. We show that
under certain relevant conditions -- i.e., in absence of incommensurate spin
modulation, as in BFO thin films and some BFO-based solid solutions -- these
materials display a large linear magnetoelectric response. Our calculations
reveal the atomistic origin of the coupling and allow us to identify the most
promising strategies to enhance it.Comment: 4 pages with 1 figure embedded. More information at

On Chromospheric Variations Modeling for Main-Sequence Stars of G and K Spectral Classes
We present a method of chromospheric flux simulation for 13 late-type
main-sequence stars. These Sun-like stars have well-determined cyclic flux
variations similar to 11 yr solar activity cycle. Our flux prediction is based
on chromospheric HK emission time series measurements from Mount Wilson
Observatory and comparable solar data. We show that solar three - component
modeling explains well the stellar observations. We find that the 10 - 20% of K
- stars disc surfaces are occupied by bright active regions.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figure
Spin echo in spinor dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates
We theoretically propose and numerically realize spin echo in a spinor
Bose--Einstein condensate (BEC). We investigate the influence on the spin echo
of phase separation of the condensate. The equation of motion of the spin
density exhibits two relaxation times. We use two methods to separate the
relaxation times and hence demonstrate a technique to reveal magnetic
dipole--dipole interactions in spinor BECs.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
