Canted Ferromagnetism in Double Exchange Model with on-site Coulomb Repulsion

The double exchange model with on-site Coulomb repulsion is considered. Schwinger-bosons representation of the localized spins is used and two spin-singlet Fermion operators are introduced. In terms of the new Fermi fields the on-site Hund's interaction is in a diagonal form and the true magnons of the system are identified. The singlet fermions can be understood as electrons dressed by a cloud of repeatedly emitted and reabsorbed magnons. Rewritten in terms of Schwinger-bosons and spin-singlet fermions the theory is U(1) gauge invariant. We show that spontaneous breakdown of the gauge symmetry leads to \emph{\textbf{canted ferromagnetism with on-site spins of localized and delocalized electrons misaligned}}. On-site canted phase emerges in double exchange model when Coulomb repulsion is large enough. The quantum phase transition between ferromagnetism and canted phase is studied varying the Coulomb repulsion for different values of parameters in the theory such as Hund's coupling and chemical potential.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figure

Normal metal to ferromagnetic superconductor tunneling

We study the point-contact tunneling between normal metal and ferromagnetic superconductor. In the case of magnon-induced pairing the tunneling conductance is continuous and smooth function of the applied voltage. For small values of the applied voltage the Ohm law holds. We show that one can obtain the magnetization and the superconducting order parameter from the tunneling conduc- tance. In the case of paramagnon-induced superconductivity the tunneling does not depend on the magnetization. We argue that tunneling experiment can unambiguously determine the correct pairing mechanism in the ferromagnetic superconductors.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figur

Magnon Exchange Mechanism of Ferromagnetic Superconductivity

The magnon exchange mechanism of ferromagnetic superconductivity (FM-superconductivity) was developed to explain in a natural way the fact that the superconductivity in $UGe_2$, $ZrZn_2$ and $URhGe$ is confined to the ferromagnetic phase.The order parameter is a spin anti-parallel component of a spin-1 triplet with zero spin projection. The transverse spin fluctuations are pair forming and the longitudinal ones are pair breaking. In the present paper, a superconducting solution, based on the magnon exchange mechanism, is obtained which closely matches the experiments with $ZrZn_2$ and $URhGe$. The onset of superconductivity leads to the appearance of complicated Fermi surfaces in the spin up and spin down momentum distribution functions. Each of them consist of two pieces, but they are simple-connected and can be made very small by varying the microscopic parameters. As a result, it is obtained that the specific heat depends on the temperature linearly, at low temperature, and the coefficient $\gamma=\frac {C}{T}$ is smaller in the superconducting phase than in the ferromagnetic one. The absence of a quantum transition from ferromagnetism to ferromagnetic superconductivity in a weak ferromagnets $ZrZn_2$ and $URhGe$ is explained accounting for the contribution of magnon self-interaction to the spin fluctuations' parameters. It is shown that in the presence of an external magnetic field the system undergoes a first order quantum phase transition.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures, accepted for publication in Phys.Rev.

The effect of the perturber population on subhalo measurements in strong gravitational lenses

Analyses of extended arcs in strong gravitational lensing images to date have constrained the properties of dark matter by measuring the parameters of one or two individual subhaloes. However, since such analyses are reliant on likelihood-based methods like Markov-chain Monte Carlo or nested sampling, they require various compromises to the realism of lensing models for the sake of computational tractability, such as ignoring the numerous other subhaloes and line-of-sight haloes in the system, assuming a particular form for the source model and requiring the noise to have a known likelihood function. Here, we show that a simulation-based inference method called truncated marginal neural ratio estimation (TMNRE) makes it possible to relax these requirements by training neural networks to directly compute marginal posteriors for subhalo parameters from lensing images. By performing a set of inference tasks on mock data, we verify the accuracy of TMNRE and show it can compute posteriors for subhalo parameters marginalized over populations of hundreds of substructures, as well as lens and source uncertainties. We also find that the multilayer perceptron (MLP) mixer network works far better for such tasks than the convolutional architectures explored in other lensing analyses. Furthermore, we show that since TMNRE learns a posterior function it enables direct statistical checks that would be extremely expensive with likelihood-based methods. Our results show that TMNRE is well-suited for analysing complex lensing data, and that the full subhalo and line-of-sight halo population must be included when measuring the properties of individual dark matter substructures with this technique

Ferromagnetic phases in spin-Fermion systems

Spin-Fermion systems which obtain their magnetic properties from a system of localized magnetic moments being coupled to conducting electrons are considered. The dynamical degrees of freedom are spin-$s$ operators of localized spins and spin-1/2 Fermi operators of itinerant electrons. Renormalized spin-wave theory, which accounts for the magnon-magnon interaction, and its extension are developed to describe the two ferrimagnetic phases in the system: low temperature phase $0<T<T^{*}$, where all electrons contribute the ordered ferromagnetic moment, and high temperature phase $T^{*}<T<T_C$, where only localized spins form magnetic moment. The magnetization as a function of temperature is calculated. The theoretical predictions are utilize to interpret the experimentally measured magnetization-temperature curves of $UGe_2$..Comment: 9 pages, 5 figure

Dimensional structural constants from chiral and conformal bosonization of QCD

We derive the dimensional non-perturbative part of the QCD effective action for scalar and pseudoscalar meson fields by means of chiral and conformal bosonization. The related structural coupling constants L_5 and L_8 of the chiral lagrangian are estimated using general relations which are valid in a variety of chiral bosonization models without explicit reference to model parameters. The asymptotics for large scalar fields in QCD is elaborated, and model-independent constraints on dimensional coupling constants of the effective meson lagrangian are evaluated. We determine also the interaction between scalar quarkonium and the gluon density and obtain the scalar glueball-quarkonium potential.Comment: 21 pages, LaTe

Phase diagrams of La1−xCaxMnO3\rm La_{1-x}Ca_xMnO_3 in Double Exchange Model with added antiferromagnetic and Jahn-Teller interaction

The phase diagram of the multivalent manganites $\rm La_{1-x}Ca_xMnO_3$, in space of temperature and doping $x$, is a challenge for the theoretical physics. It is an important test for the model used to study these compounds and the method of calculation. To obtain theoretically this diagram for $x<0.5$, we consider the two-band Double Exchange Model for manganites with added Jahn-Teller coupling and antiferromagnetic Heisenberg term. In order to calculate Curie and N\'{e}el temperatures we derive an effective Heisenberg model for a vector which describes the local orientation of the total magnetization of the system. The exchange constants of this model are different for different space directions and depend on the density of $e_g$ electrons, antiferromagnetic constants and the Jahn-Teller energy. To reproduce the well known phase transitions from A-type antiferromagnetism to ferromagnetism at low $x$ and C-type antiferromagnetism to G-type antiferromagnetism at large $x$, we argue that the antiferromagnetic exchange constants should depend on the lattice direction. We show that ferromagnetic to A-type antiferromagnetic transition results from the Jahn-Teller distortion. Accounting adequately for the magnon-magnon interaction, Curie and N\'{e}el temperatures are calculated. The results are in very good agreement with the experiment and provide values for the model parameters, which best describe the behavior of the critical temperature for $x<0.5$.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figure

Zero temperature phases of the frustrated J1-J2 antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on a simple cubic lattice

At zero temperature magnetic phases of the quantum spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a simple cubic lattice with competing first and second neighbor exchanges (J1 and J2) is investigated using the non-linear spin wave theory. We find existence of two phases: a two sublattice Neel phase for small J2 (AF), and a collinear antiferromagnetic phase at large J2 (CAF). We obtain the sublattice magnetizations and ground state energies for the two phases and find that there exists a first order phase transition from the AF-phase to the CAF-phase at the critical transition point, pc = 0.28. Our results for the value of pc are in excellent agreement with results from Monte-Carlo simulations and variational spin wave theory. We also show that the quartic 1/S corrections due spin-wave interactions enhance the sublattice magnetization in both the phases which causes the intermediate paramagnetic phase predicted from linear spin wave theory to disappear.Comment: 19 pages, 4 figures, Fig. 1b modified, Appendix B text modifie
