High-frequency oscillations in low-dimensional conductors and semiconductor superlattices induced by current in stack direction
A narrow energy band of the electronic spectrum in some direction in
low-dimensional crystals may lead to a negative differential conductance and
N-shaped I-V curve that results in an instability of the uniform stationary
state. A well-known stable solution for such a system is a state with electric
field domain. We have found a uniform stable solution in the region of negative
differential conductance. This solution describes uniform high-frequency
voltage oscillations. Frequency of the oscillation is determined by antenna
properties of the system. The results are applicable also to semiconductor
superlattices.Comment: 8 pages, 3 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
Temperature-Dependent Magnetoelectric Effect from First Principles
We show that nonrelativistic exchange interactions and spin fluctuations can give rise to a linear magnetoelectric effect in collinear antiferromagnets at elevated temperatures that can exceed relativistic magnetoelectric responses by more than 1 order of magnitude. We show how symmetry arguments, ab initio methods, and Monte Carlo simulations can be combined to calculate temperature-dependent magnetoelectric susceptibilities entirely from first principles. The application of our method to Cr2O3 gives quantitative agreement with experiment.
Stable Spin Precession at one Half of Equilibrium Magnetization in Superfluid 3He-B
New stable modes of spin precession have been observed in superfluid 3He-B.
These dynamical order parameter states include precession with a magnetization
S=pS_{eq} which is different from the equilibrium value S_{eq}. We have
identified modes with p=1, 1/2 and \approx 0. The p=1/2 mode is the second
member of phase correlated states of a spin superfluid. The new states can be
excited in the temperature range 1-T/T_c \lesssim 0.02 where the energy
barriers between the different local minima of the spin-orbit energy are small.
They are stable in CW NMR due to low dissipation close to T_c.Comment: submitted to Physical Review Letters, 4 pages, revtex, 4 Figures in

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

Phonons in magnon superfluid and symmetry breaking field
Recent experiments [1],[2] which measured the spectrum of the Goldstone
collective mode of coherently precessing state in 3He-B are discussed using the
presentation of the coherent spin precession in terms of the Bose-Einstein
condensation of magnons. The mass in the spectrum of the Goldstone boson --
phonon in the superfluid magnon liquid -- is induced by the symmetry breaking
field, which is played by the RF magnetic fieldComment: 2 pages, JETP Letters style, no figures, version accepted in JETP

QCD Heat Kernel in Covariant Gauge
We report the calculation of the fourth coefficient in an expansion of the
heat kernel of a non-minimal, non-abelian kinetic operator in an arbitrary
background gauge in arbitrary space-time dimension. The fourth coefficient is
shown to bring a nontrivial gauge dependence due to the contribution of the
lowest order off-shell gauge invariant structure.Comment: 6 pages + title page, standart LaTe
