Effect of an InP/InGaAs Interface on Spin-orbit Interaction in InAlAs/InGaAs Heterostructures
We report the effect of the insertion of an InP/InGaAs
Interface on Rashba spin-orbit interaction in
InAlAs/InGaAs quantum wells. A small spin
split-off energy in InP produces a very intriguing band lineup in the valence
bands in this system. With or without this InP layer above the
InGaAs well, the overall values of the spin-orbit coupling
constant turned out to be enhanced or diminished for samples with the
front- or back-doping position, respectively. These experimental results, using
weak antilocalization analysis, are compared with the results of the
theory. The actual conditions of the interfaces and
materials should account for the quantitative difference in magnitude between
the measurements and calculations.Comment: Submitted for publication; v2 to adjust Eq.6; v3 to correct the

Mott insulating state in a quarter-filled two-orbital Hubbard chain with different bandwidths
We investigate the ground-state properties of the one-dimensional two-band
Hubbard model with different bandwidths. The density-matrix renormalization
group method is applied to calculate the averaged electron occupancies as a
function of the chemical potential . Both at quarter and half fillings,
"charge plateaux" appear in the - plot, where diverges and
the Mott insulating states are realized. To see how the orbital polarization in
the one-quarter charge plateau develops, we apply the second-order perturbation
theory from the strong-coupling limit at quarter filling. The resultant
Kugel-Khomskii spin-orbital model includes a field coupled to
orbital pseudo-spins. This field originates from the discrepancy between the
two bandwidths and leads to a finite orbital pseudo-spin magnetization.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, Proceedings of LT2
Spin, charge and orbital fluctuations in a multi-orbital Mott insulator
The two-orbital degenerate Hubbard model with distinct hopping integrals is
studied by combining dynamical mean-field theory with quantum Monte Carlo
simulations. The role of orbital fluctuations for the nature of the Mott
transition is elucidated by examining the temperature dependence of spin,
charge and orbital susceptibilities as well as the one-particle spectral
function. We also consider the effect of the hybridization between the two
orbitals, which is important particularly close to the Mott transition points.
The introduction of the hybridization induces orbital fluctuations, resulting
in the formation of a Kondo-like heavy-fermion behavior, similarly to
electron systems, but involving electrons in bands of comparable width.Comment: 8 pages, 9 figure
Numerical Renormalization Group Study of non-Fermi-liquid State on Dilute Uranium Systems
We investigate the non-Fermi-liquid (NFL) behavior of the impurity Anderson
model (IAM) with non-Kramers doublet ground state of the f configuration
under the tetragonal crystalline electric field (CEF). The low energy spectrum
is explained by a combination of the NFL and the local-Fermi-liquid parts which
are independent with each other. The NFL part of the spectrum has the same form
to that of two-channel-Kondo model (TCKM). We have a parameter range that the
IAM shows the divergence of the magnetic susceptibility together with
the positive magneto resistance. We point out a possibility that the anomalous
properties of UThRuSi including the decreasing resistivity
with decreasing temperature can be explained by the NFL scenario of the TCKM
type. We also investigate an effect of the lowering of the crystal symmetry. It
breaks the NFL behavior at around the temperature, , where
is the orthorhombic CEF splitting. The NFL behavior is still expected above the
temperature, .Comment: 25 pages, 12 figure
Use of Combined Hartree-Fock-Roothaan Theory in Evaluation of Lowest States of K [Ar]4s^0 3d^1 and Cr+ [Ar]4s^0 3d^5 Isoelectronic Series Over Noninteger n-Slater Type Orbitals
By the use of integer and noninteger n-Slater Type Orbitals in combined
Hartree-Fock-Roothaan method, self consistent field calculations of orbital and
lowest states energies have been performed for the isoelectronic series of open
shell systems K [Ar]4s^0 3d^1 2(D) (Z=19-30) and Cr+ [Ar] 4s^0 3d^5 6(S)
(Z=24-30). The results of calculations for the orbital and total energies
obtained from the use of minimal basis sets of integer- and noninteger n-Slater
Type Orbitals are given in tables. The results are compared with the
extended-basis Hartree-Fock computations. The orbital and total energies are in
good agreement with those presented in the literature. The results are
accurately and considerably can be useful in the application of
non-relativistic and relativistic combined Hartree-Fock-Roothaan approach for
heavy atomic systems.Comment: 11 pages, 6 tables, 2 figures. submitte
Asymptotic symmetries on Kerr--Newman horizon without anomaly of diffeomorphism invariance
We analyze asymptotic symmetries on the Killing horizon of the
four-dimensional Kerr--Newman black hole. We first derive the asymptotic
Killing vectors on the Killing horizon, which describe the asymptotic
symmetries, and find that the general form of these asymptotic Killing vectors
is the universal one possessed by arbitrary Killing horizons. We then construct
the phase space associated with the asymptotic symmetries. It is shown that the
phase space of an extreme black hole either has the size comparable with a
non-extreme black hole, or is small enough to exclude degeneracy, depending on
whether or not the global structure of a Killing horizon particular to an
extreme black hole is respected. We also show that the central charge in the
Poisson brackets algebra of these asymptotic symmetries vanishes, which implies
that there is not an anomaly of diffeomorphism invariance. By taking into
account other results in the literature, we argue that the vanishing central
charge on a black hole horizon, in an effective theory, looks consistent with
the thermal feature of a black hole. We furthermore argue that the vanishing
central charge implies that there are infinitely many classical configurations
that are associated with the same macroscopic state, while these configurations
are distinguished physically.Comment: 14 pages, v2: references added, minor corrections, v3: new pars and

Supersolid state in fermionic optical lattice systems
We study ultracold fermionic atoms trapped in an optical lattice with
harmonic confinement by combining the real-space dynamical mean-field theory
with a two-site impurity solver. By calculating the local particle density and
the pair potential in the systems with different clusters, we discuss the
stability of a supersolid state, where an s-wave superfluid coexists with a
density-wave state of checkerboard pattern. It is clarified that a confining
potential plays an essential role in stabilizing the supersolid state. The
phase diagrams are obtained for several effective particle densities.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures, Phys. Rev. A in pres
Phase diagram of orbital-selective Mott transitions at finite temperatures
Mott transitions in the two-orbital Hubbard model with different bandwidths
are investigated at finite temperatures. By means of the self-energy functional
approach, we discuss the stability of the intermediate phase with one orbital
localized and the other itinerant, which is caused by the orbital-selective
Mott transition (OSMT). It is shown that the OSMT realizes two different
coexistence regions at finite temperatures in accordance with the recent
results of Liebsch. We further find that the particularly interesting behavior
emerges around the special condition and J=0, which includes a new type
of the coexistence region with three distinct states. By systematically
changing the Hund coupling, we establish the global phase diagram to elucidate
the key role played by the Hund coupling on the Mott transitions.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figure
Critical Nature of Non-Fermi Liquid in Spin 3/2 Multipolar Kondo Model
A multipolar Kondo model of an impurity spin S_I=3/2 interacting with
conduction electrons with spin s_c=3/2 is investigated using boundary conformal
field theory. A two-channel Kondo (2CK) -like non-Fermi liquid (NFL) under the
particle-hole symmetry is derived explicitly using a ``superspin absorption''
in the sector of a hidden symmetry, SO(5). We discuss the difference between
the usual spin-1/2 2CK NFL fixed point and the present one. In particular, we
find that, unlike the usual 2CK model, the low temperature impurity specific
heat is proportional to temperature.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
Spin-orbit induced interference in polygon-structures
We investigate the spin-orbit induced spin-interference pattern of ballistic
electrons travelling along any regular polygon. It is found that the
spin-interference depends strongly on the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit
constants as well as on the sidelength and alignment of the polygon. We derive
the analytical formulae for the limiting cases of either zero Dresselhaus or
zero Rashba spin-orbit coupling, including the result obtained for a circle. We
calculate the nonzero Dresselhaus and Rashba case numerically for the square,
triangle, hexagon, and circle and discuss the observability of the
spin-interference which can potentially be used to measure the Rashba and
Dresselhaus coefficients.Comment: 17 pages, 4 figure
