On the nonlinear NMR and magnon BEC in antiferromagnetic materials with coupled electron-nuclear spin precession
We present a new study of nonlinear NMR and Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC)
of nuclear spin waves in antiferromagnetic MnCO3 with coupled electron and
nuclear spins. In particular, we show that the observed behaviour of NMR
signals strongly contradicts the conventional description of paramagnetic
ensembles of noninteracting spins based on the phenomenological Bloch
equations. We present a new theoretical description of the coupled
electron-nuclear spin precession, which takes into account an indirect
relaxation of nuclear spins via the electron subsystem. We show that the
magnitude of the nuclear magnetization is conserved for arbitrary large
excitation powers, which is drastically different from the conventional heating
scenario derived from the Bloch equations. This provides strong evidence that
the coherent precession of macroscopic nuclear magnetization observed
experimentally can be identified with BEC of nuclear spin waves with k=0.Comment: 12 pages, 8 figure
Spin dynamics of observed by Electron Spin Resonance
Below the Kondo temperature electron spin resonance (ESR) usually
is not observable from the Kondo-ion itself because the characteristic spin
fluctuation energy results in a huge width of the ESR line. The heavy fermion
metal YbRhSi seems to be an exceptional case where definite ESR
spectra show characteristic properties of the Kondo-ion Yb well
\textit{below} . We found that the spin dynamics of
YbRhSi, as determined by its ESR relaxation, is spatially
characterized by an anisotropy of the zero temperature residual relaxation
only.Comment: Presented at NanoRes 2004, Kazan; 4 pages, 3 Figure
Inhomogeneity of the intrinsic magnetic field in superconducting YBa2Cu3OX compounds as revealed by rare-earth EPR-probe
X-band electron paramagnetic resonance on doped Er3+ and Yb3+ ions in
Y0.99(Yb,Er)0.01Ba2Cu3OX compounds with different oxygen contents in the wide
temperature range (4-120)K have been made. In the superconducting species, the
strong dependencies of the linewidth and resonance line position from the sweep
direction of the applied magnetic field are revealed at the temperatures
significantly below TC. The possible origins of the observed hysteresis are
analyzed. Applicability of the presented EPR approach to extract information
about the dynamics of the flux-line lattice and critical state parameters
(critical current density, magnetic penetration depth, and characteristic
spatial scale of the inhomogeneity) is discussedComment: 17 pages, 5 Figures. Renewed versio
On the "spin-freezing" mechanism in underdoped superconducting cuprates
The letter deals with the spin-freezing process observed by means of NMR-NQR
relaxation or by muon spin rotation in underdoped cuprate superconductors. This
phenomenon, sometimes referred as coexistence of antiferromagnetic and
superconducting order parameters, is generally thought to result from randomly
distributed magnetic moments related to charge inhomogeneities (possibly
stripes) which exhibit slowing down of their fluctuations on cooling below
T . Instead, we describe the experimental findings as due to fluctuating,
vortex-antivortex, orbital currents state coexisting with d-wave
superconducting state. A direct explanation of the experimental results, in
underdoped YCaBaCuO and LaSrCuO,
is thus given in terms of freezing of orbital current fluctuations
Nonlinear spin relaxation in strongly nonequilibrium magnets
A general theory is developed for describing the nonlinear relaxation of spin
systems from a strongly nonequilibrium initial state, when, in addition, the
sample is coupled to a resonator. Such processes are characterized by nonlinear
stochastic differential equations. This makes these strongly nonequilibrium
processes principally different from the spin relaxation close to an
equilibrium state, which is represented by linear differential equations. The
consideration is based on a realistic microscopic Hamiltonian including the
Zeeman terms, dipole interactions, exchange interactions, and a single-site
anisotropy. The influence of cross correlations between several spin species is
investigated. The critically important function of coupling between the spin
system and a resonant electric circuit is emphasized. The role of all main
relaxation rates is analyzed. The phenomenon of self-organization of transition
coherence in spin motion, from the quantum chaotic stage of incoherent
fluctuations, is thoroughly described. Local spin fluctuations are found to be
the triggering cause for starting the spin relaxation from an incoherent
nonequilibrium state. The basic regimes of collective coherent spin relaxation
are studied.Comment: Latex file, 31 page
Nonlinear Spin Dynamics in Ferromagnets with Electron-Nuclear Coupling
Nonlinear spin motion in ferromagnets is considered with nonlinearity due to
three factors: (i) the sample is prepared in a strongly nonequilibrium state,
so that evolution equations cannot be linearized as would be admissible for
spin motion not too far from equilibrium, (ii) the system considered consists
of interacting electron and nuclear spins coupled with each other via hyperfine
forces, and (iii) the sample is inserted into a coil of a resonant electric
circuit producing a resonator feedback field. Due to these nonlinearities,
coherent motion of spins can develop, resulting in their ultrafast relaxation.
A complete analysis of mechanisms triggering such a coherent motion is
presented. This type of ultrafast coherent relaxation can be used for studying
intrinsic properties of magnetic materials.Comment: 1 file, LaTex, 23 page
A Model of the Electronic Structure of a FeRh Alloy Undergoing an Antferromagnetic–Ferromagnetic Phase Transition
Abstract: A new approach to describing the magnetic properties of FeRh alloys is proposed. It is based on two assumptions about the properties of 3d and 4d electrons in these alloys. The first is the assumption that the 4d band is submerged under the Fermi level to a depth that ensures its complete filling at a temperature T = 0 K. The second is the assumption that there are two different spatial distributions of 3d and 4d electrons that are compatible with one atomic structure. The first assumption makes it possible to explain the absence of uncompensated spins of 4d electrons in the low-temperature antiferromagnetic (AFM) phase of FeRh. The second assumption is proposed to explain the strong changes in the spin structure of the FeRh alloy upon the AFM–FM transition, while its atomic structure is almost unchanged. Attempts have been made to predict the new properties of the FeRh alloy that follow from these assumptions. Our second assumption proved to be successful and enabled us to predict the existence of local magnetic moments of 3d electrons in the AFM phase, which are larger than the magnetic moments of Fe ions. Measurements of the magnetic susceptibility of the FeRh alloy in the AFM phase confirmed this prediction. © 2022, The Author(s).Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, Minobrnauka, (AAAA-A18-118020190095-4)This work was carried out within a state task of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation (subject “Quantum”, state registration no.

The Planetary Wave Activity in Temperatures of the Stratosphere, Mesosphere and in Critical Frequencies of Ionospheric F2 Layer
A large body of experimental evidence lends credit to the existence of a close relationship between ionospheric parameters and the underlying atmosphere. Vertical-incidence ionospheric sounding data and temperature measurements at stratospheric (30 km) and mesospheric (80 km) heights have been used in investigating the interrelation between the occurrence of fluctuations with periods of planetary waves in temperature variations at different heights and in F2 layer critical frequency variations (foF2) under low solar activity conditions for the time interval 2006-2007. The distinctive characteristics of the manifestation of common periodicities of the wave structures under consideration are discussed. The statistically significant periods of stratospheric and mesospheric temperature fluctuations vary from 11 to 49 days, whereas foF2 periodograms show higher-frequency fluctuations with periods of 5, 8, 9, and 10 days. The study revealed a similarity between periodic structures for the variations in the parameters involved

Precise measurement of and between 1.84 and 3.72 GeV at the KEDR detector
The present work continues a series of the KEDR measurements of the value
that started in 2010 at the VEPP-4M collider. By combining new data
with our previous results in this energy range we measured the values of
and at nine center-of-mass energies between 3.08 and 3.72
GeV. The total accuracy is about or better than at most of energy
points with a systematic uncertainty of about . Together with the
previous precise measurement at KEDR in the energy range 1.84-3.05 GeV, it
constitutes the most detailed high-precision measurement near the
charmonium production threshold.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1610.02827 and substantial
