    We consider spin-12\frac{1}{2} model on the honeycomb lattice~\cite{Kitaev06} in presence of a weak magnetic field hΞ±β‰ͺ1h_{\alpha }\ll 1. Such a perturbation destroys exact integrability of the model in terms of gapless fermions and \textit{static} Z2Z_{2} fluxes. We show that it results in appearance of a long-range tail in the irreducible dynamic spin correlation function: ⟨⟨sz(t,r)sz(0,0)⟩⟩∝hz2f(t,r)% \left\langle \left\langle s^{z}(t,r)s^{z}(0,0)\right\rangle \right\rangle \propto h_{z}^{2}f(t,r), where f(t,r)∝[max⁑(t,r)]βˆ’4f(t,r)\propto \lbrack \max (t,r)]^{-4} is proportional to the density polarization function of fermions

    Low-temperature electron mobility in doped semiconductors with high dielectric constant

    Full text link
    We propose and study theoretically a new mechanism of electron-impurity scattering in doped seminconductors with large dielectric constant. It is based upon the idea of \textit{vector} character of deformations caused in the crystalline lattice by any point defects siting asymmetrically in the unit cell. In result, local lattice compression due to the elastic deformations decay as 1/r21/r^2 with distance from impurity. Electron scattering (due to standard deformation potential) on such defects leads to low-temperature mobility ΞΌ(n)\mu(n) scaling with electron density nn of the form ΞΌ(n)∝nβˆ’2/3\mu(n) \propto n^{-2/3} that is close to experimental observations on a number of relevant materials.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
