    In this paper the holographic model for hybrid and coexisting s-wave and p-wave Josephson junction is constructed by a triplet charged scalar field coupled with a non-Abelian SU(2)SU(2) gauge fields in (3+1)-dimensional AdS spacetime. Depending on the value of chemical potential μ\mu, one can show that there are four types of junctions (s+p-N-s+p, s+p-N-s, s+p-N-p and s-N-p). We show that DC current of all the hybrid and coexisting s-wave and p-wave junctions is proportional to the sine of the phase difference across the junction. In addition, the maximum current and the total condensation decays with the width of junction exponentially, respectively. For s+p-N-s and s-N-p junction, the maximum current decreases with growing temperature. Moreover, we find that the maximum current increases with growing temperature for s+p-N-s+p and s+p-N-p junction, which is in the different manner as the behaviour of s+p-N-s and s-N-p junction.Comment: 20 pages, 12 figures, v2: typos corrected, references added, published versio

    Magnetic excitations and anomalous spin wave broadening in multiferroic FeV2O4

    We report on the different roles of two orbital-active Fe2+^{2+} at the A site and V3+^{3+} at the B site in the magnetic excitations and on the anomalous spin wave broadening in FeV2_{2}O4_{4}. FeV2_{2}O4_{4} exhibits three structural transitions and successive paramagnetic (PM)-collinear ferrimagnetic (CFI)-noncollinear ferrimagnetic (NCFI) transitions. The high-temperature tetragonal/PM -orthorhombic/CFI transition is accompanied by the appearance of an energy gap with a high magnitude in the magnetic excitations due to strong spin-orbit coupling induced anisotropy at the Fe2+^{2+} site. While there is no measurable increase in the energy gap from the orbital ordering of V3+^{3+} at the orthorhombic/CFI-tetragonal/NCFI transition, anomalous spin wave broadening is observed in the orthorhombic/CFI state due to V3+^{3+} spin fluctuations at the B site. The spin wave broadening is also observed at the zone boundary without softening, which is discussed in terms of magnon-phonon coupling.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, including one supplemental materia
