Characterization of low-energy magnetic excitations in chromium
The low-energy excitations of Cr, i.e. the Fincher-Burke (FB) modes, have
been investigated in the transversely polarized spin-density-wave phase by
inelastic neutron scattering using a single-(Q+-) crystal with a propagation
vector (Q+-) parallel to [0,0,1]. The constant-momentum-transfer scans show
that the energy spectra consist of two components, namely dispersive FB modes
and an almost energy-independent cross section. Most remarkably, we find that
the spectrum of the FB modes exhibits one peak at 140 K near Q = (0,0,0.98) and
two peaks near Q = (0,0,1.02), respectively. This is surprising because Cr
crystallizes in a centro-symmetric bcc structure. The asymmetry of those energy
spectra decreases with increasing temperature. In addition, the observed
magnetic peak intensity is independent of Q suggesting a transfer of
spectral-weight between the upper and lower FB modes. The energy-independent
cross section is localized only between the incommensurate peaks and develops
rapidly with increasing temperature.Comment: 6 pages, 8 figure
Spin Dynamics of Double-Exchange Manganites with Magnetic Frustration
This work examines the effects of magnetic frustration due to competing
ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic Heisenberg interactions on the spin
dynamics of the double-exchange model. When the local moments are non-colinear,
a charge-density wave forms because the electrons prefer to sit on lines of
sites that are coupled ferromagnetically. With increasing hopping energy, the
local spins become aligned and the average spin-wave stiffness increases. Phase
separation is found only within a narrow range of hopping energies. Results of
this work are applied to the field-induced jump in the spin-wave stiffness
observed in the manganite PrCaMnO with .Comment: 10 pages, 3 figure
Spin Dynamics of a Canted Antiferromagnet in a Magnetic Field
The spin dynamics of a canted antiferromagnet with a quadratic spin-wave
dispersion near \vq =0 is shown to possess a unique signature. When the
anisotropy gap is negligible, the spin-wave stiffness \dsw (\vq, B) =
(\omega_{\vq}-B)/q^2 depends on whether the limit of zero field or zero
wavevector is taken first. Consequently, \dsw is a strong function of
magnetic field at a fixed wavevector. Even in the presence of a sizeable
anisotropy gap, the field dependence of both \dsw and the gap energy
distinguishes a canted antiferromagnet from a phase-separated mixture
containing both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic regions.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figure

Double Exchange in a Magnetically Frustrated System
This work examines the magnetic order and spin dynamics of a double-exchange
model with competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic Heisenberg
interactions between the local moments. The Heisenberg interactions are
periodically arranged in a Villain configuration in two dimensions with
nearest-neighbor, ferromagnetic coupling and antiferromagnetic coupling
. This model is solved at zero temperature by performing a
expansion in the rotated reference frame of each local moment.
When exceeds a critical value, the ground state is a magnetically
frustrated, canted antiferromagnet. With increasing hopping energy or
magnetic field , the local moments become aligned and the ferromagnetic
phase is stabilized above critical values of or . In the canted phase, a
charge-density wave forms because the electrons prefer to sit on lines of sites
that are coupled ferromagnetically. Due to a change in the topology of the
Fermi surface from closed to open, phase separation occurs in a narrow range of
parameters in the canted phase. In zero field, the long-wavelength spin waves
are isotropic in the region of phase separation. Whereas the average spin-wave
stiffness in the canted phase increases with or , it exhibits a more
complicated dependence on field. This work strongly suggests that the jump in
the spin-wave stiffness observed in PrCaMnO with at a field of 3 T is caused by the delocalization of the electrons rather
than by the alignment of the antiferromagnetic regions.Comment: 28 pages, 12 figure
The value of improved (ERS) information based on domestic distribution effects of U.S. agriculture crops
The value of improving information for forecasting future crop harvests was investigated. Emphasis was placed upon establishing practical evaluation procedures firmly based in economic theory. The analysis was applied to the case of U.S. domestic wheat consumption. Estimates for a cost of storage function and a demand function for wheat were calculated. A model of market determinations of wheat inventories was developed for inventory adjustment. The carry-over horizon is computed by the solution of a nonlinear programming problem, and related variables such as spot and future price at each stage are determined. The model is adaptable to other markets. Results are shown to depend critically on the accuracy of current and proposed measurement techniques. The quantitative results are presented parametrically, in terms of various possible values of current and future accuracies
