Group analysis and renormgroup symmetries

An original regular approach to constructing special type symmetries for boundary value problems, namely renormgroup symmetries, is presented. Different methods of calculating these symmetries, based on modern group analysis are described. Application of the approach to boundary value problems is demonstrated with the help of a simple mathematical model.Comment: 17 pages, RevTeX LATeX file, to appear in Journal of Mathematical Physic

Spin-transfer in diffusive ferromagnet-normal metal systems with spin-flip scattering

The spin-transfer in biased disordered ferromagnet (F) - normal metal (N) systems is calculated by the diffusion equation. For F1-N2-F2 and N1-F1-N2-F2-N3 spin valves, the effect of spin-flip processes in the normal metal and ferromagnet parts are obtained analytically. Spin-flip in the center metal N2 reduces the spin-transfer, whereas spin-flip in the outer normal metals N1 and N3 can increase it by effectively enhancing the spin polarization of the device.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure

On the internal modes in sine-Gordon chain

We address the issue of internal modes of a kink of a discrete sine-Gordon equation. The main point of the present study is to elucidate how the antisymmetric internal mode frequency dependence enters the quasicontinuum spectrum of nonlocalized waves. We analyze the internal frequency dependencies as functions of both the number of cites and discreteness parameter and explain the origin of spectrum peculiarity which arises after the frequency dependence of antisymmetric mode returns back to the continuous spectrum at some nonzero value of the intersite coupling.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure

Radiation Pressure Quantization

Kepler's observation of comets tails initiated the research on the radiation pressure of celestial objects and 250 years later they found new incarnation after the Maxwell's equations were formulated to describe a plethora of light-matter coupling phenomena. Further, quantum mechanics gave birth to the photon drag effect. Here, we predict a novel universal phenomenon which can be referred to as quantization of the radiation pressure. We develop a microscopic theory of this effect which can be applied to a general system containing Bose-Einstein-condensed particles, which possess an internal structure of quantum states. By analyzing the response of the system to an external electromagnetic field we find that such drag results in a flux of particles constituting both the condensate and the excited states. We show that in the presence of the condensed phase, the response of the system becomes quantized which manifests itself in a step-like behavior of the particle flux as a function of electromagnetic field frequency with the elementary quantum determined by the internal energy structure of the particles.Comment: Manuscript: 4 pages, 3 figure

Exact and approximate symmetries for light propagation equations with higher order nonlinearity

For the first time exact analytical solutions to the eikonal equations in (1+1) dimensions with a refractive index being a saturated function of intensity are constructed. It is demonstrated that the solutions exhibit collapse; an explicit analytical expression for the self-focusing position, where the intensity tends to infinity, is found. Based on an approximated Lie symmetry group, solutions to the eikonal equations with arbitrary nonlinear refractive index are constructed. Comparison between exact and approximate solutions is presented. Approximate solutions to the nonlinear Schrodinger equation in (1+2) dimensions with arbitrary refractive index and initial intensity distribution are obtained. A particular case of refractive index consisting of Kerr refraction and multiphoton ionization is considered. It is demonstrated that the beam collapse can take place not only at the beam axis but also in an off-axis ring region around it. An analytical condition distinguishing these two cases is obtained and explicit formula for the self-focusing position is presented.Comment: 25 pages, 5 figure

Magnetomechanical Torques in Small Magnetic Cantilevers

We study the dnamics of small magnetic cantilevers, either made from Si covered by a magnetic film or entirely ferromagnetic ones. The magnetomechanical torques are found to cause line splittings in ferromagnetic resonance spectra and magnetization reversal facilitated by mechanical degrees of freedom. We show that the magnetomechanical torques can extend the limits of detecting and exciting motion at the nanoscale. A "nanomotor" described here effectively transforms rf magnetic fields into mechanical oscillations. We furthermore propose to integrate mechanical oscillators into magnetoelectronic devices that make use of current-induced spin-transfer torques. This opens new possibilities for electric transducers of nanomechanical motion.Comment: 20 pages, 12 figures; submitted to a special issue of JJAP: Magnetization Dynamics in Spintronic Structures and Device
