A van Hemmen-Kondo model for disordered strongly correlated electron systems
We present here a theoretical model in order to describe the competition
between the Kondo effect and the spin glass behavior. The spin glass part of
the starting Hamiltonian contains Ising spins with an intersite exchange
interaction given by the local van Hemmen model, while the Kondo effect is
described as usual by the intrasite exchange . We obtain, for large
values, a Kondo phase and, for smaller values, a succession, with
decreasingComment: 14 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
Fosfatos naturais no Brasil.
Foi feita uma apreciação sobre a validade de utilização dos principais fosfatos naturais, seja como corretivos do solo na chamada "fosfatagem" ou em combinações adequadas onde tais fosfatos podem ser usados como fertilizantes substituindo no total ou em parte as fontes solúveis convencionais. Também foram mostrados aspectos do mercado nacional de fertilizantes fosfatados, bem como das reservas mundiais e duração das reservas nacionais.bitstream/item/81543/1/Fosfatos-Naturais-Antonia-Magalhaes-Documentos-53-1993.pdfMemória
Antiferromagnetic Ising spin glass competing with BCS pairing interaction in a transverse field
The competition among spin glass (SG), antiferromagnetism (AF) and local
pairing superconductivity (PAIR) is studied in a two-sublattice fermionic Ising
spin glass model with a local BCS pairing interaction in the presence of an
applied magnetic transverse field . In the present approach, spins in
different sublattices interact with a Gaussian random coupling with an
antiferromagnetic mean and standard deviation . The problem is
formulated in the path integral formalism in which spin operators are
represented by bilinear combinations of Grassmann variables. The saddle-point
Grand Canonical potential is obtained within the static approximation and the
replica symmetric ansatz. The results are analysed in phase diagrams in which
the AF and the SG phases can occur for small ( is the strength of the
local superconductor coupling written in units of ), while the PAIR phase
appears as unique solution for large . However, there is a complex line
transition separating the PAIR phase from the others. It is second order at
high temperature that ends in a tricritical point. The quantum fluctuations
affect deeply the transition lines and the tricritical point due to the
presence of .Comment: 16 pages, 6 figures, accepted Eur. Phys. J.
Emergence of turbulence in an oscillating Bose-Einstein condensate
We report on the experimental observation of vortices tangle in an atomic BEC
of Rb-87 atoms when an external oscillatory perturbation is introduced in the
trap. The vortices tangle configuration is a signature of the presence of a
turbulent regime in the cloud. We also show that this turbulent cloud has
suppression of the aspect ratio inversion typically observed in quantum
degenerate bosonic gases during free expansion. Instead, the cloud expands
keeping the ratio between their axis constant. Turbulence in atomic superfluids
may constitute an alternative system to investigate decay mechanisms as well as
to test fundamental theoretical aspects in this field.Comment: accepted for Phys. Rev. Let
One-step replica symmetry breaking solution for a highly asymmetric two-sublattice fermionic Ising spin glass model in a transverse field
The one-step replica symmetry breaking (RSB) is used to study a
two-sublattice fermionic infinite-range Ising spin glass (SG) model in a
transverse field . The problem is formulated in a Grassmann path
integral formalism within the static approximation. In this model, a parallel
magnetic field breaks the symmetry of the sublattices. It destroys the
antiferromagnetic (AF) order, but it can favor the nonergodic mixed phase
(SG+AF) characterizing an asymmetric RSB region. In this region,
intra-sublattice disordered interactions increase the difference between
the RSB solutions of each sublattice. The freezing temperature shows a higher
increase with when enhances. A discontinue phase transition from the
replica symmetry (RS) solution to the RSB solution can appear with the presence
of an intra-sublattice ferromagnetic average coupling. The field
introduces a quantum spin flip mechanism that suppresses the magnetic orders
leading them to quantum critical points. Results suggest that the quantum
effects are not able to restore the RS solution. However, in the asymmetric RSB
region, can produce a stable RS solution at any finite temperature for
a particular sublattice while the other sublattice still presents RSB solution
for the special case in which only the intra-sublattice spins couple with
disordered interactions.Comment: 11 pages, 8 figures, accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
