Superfluid response in electron-doped cuprate superconductors
We propose a weakly coupled two-band model with pairing
symmetry to account for the anomalous temperature dependence of superfluid
density in electron-doped cuprate superconductors. This model gives a
unified explanation to the presence of a upward curvature in near
and a weak temperature dependence of in low temperatures. Our
work resolves a discrepancy in the interpretation of different experimental
measurements and suggests that the pairing in electron-doped cuprates has
predominately symmetry in the whole doping range.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, title changed and references adde
In-plane ferromagnetism in charge-ordering
The magnetic and transport properties are systematically studied on the
single crystal with charge ordering and divergency in
resistivity below 50 K. A long-range ferromagnetic ordering is observed in
susceptibility below 20 K with the magnetic field parallel to Co-O plane, while
a negligible behavior is observed with the field perpendicular to the Co-O
plane. It definitely gives a direct evidence for the existence of in-plane
ferromagnetism below 20 K. The observed magnetoresistance (MR) of 30 % at the
field of 6 T at low temperatures indicates an unexpectedly strong spin-charge
coupling in triangle lattice systems.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Optimizing Hartree-Fock orbitals by the density-matrix renormalization group
We have proposed a density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) scheme to
optimize the one-electron basis states of molecules. It improves significantly
the accuracy and efficiency of the DMRG in the study of quantum chemistry or
other many-fermion system with nonlocal interactions. For a water molecule, we
find that the ground state energy obtained by the DMRG with only 61 optimized
orbitals already reaches the accuracy of best quantum Monte Carlo calculation
with 92 orbitals.Comment: published version, 4 pages, 4 figure
Hysteresis and Anisotropic Magnetoresistance in Antiferromagnetic
The out-of-plane resistivity () and magnetoresistivity (MR) are
studied in antiferromangetic (AF) single crystals, which
have three types of noncollinear antiferromangetic spin structures. The
apparent signatures are observed in measured at the zero-field and
14 T at the spin structure transitions, giving a definite evidence for the
itinerant electrons directly coupled to the localized spins. One of striking
feature is an anisotropy of the MR with a fourfold symmetry upon rotating the
external field (B) within ab plane in the different phases, while twofold
symmetry at spin reorientation transition temperatures. The intriguing thermal
hysteresis in and magnetic hysteresis in MR are observed at spin
reorientation transition temperatures.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Comment on "Time-Dependent Density-Matrix Renormalization Group: A Systematic Method for the Study of Quantum Many-Body Out-of- Equilibrium Systems"
In a recent Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 256403(2002), cond-mat/0109158]
Cazalilla and Marston proposed a time-dependent density- matrix renormalization
group (TdDMRG) algorithm for the accurate evaluation of out-of-equilibrium
properties of quantum many-body systems. For a point contact junction between
two Luttinger liquids, a current oscillation develops after initial transient
in the insulating regime. Here we would like to point out that (a) the observed
oscillation is an artifact of the method; (b) the TdDMRG can be significantly
improved by incorporating the non-equilibrium evolution of the goundstate into
the density matrix.Comment: 1 page, 2 figure
Formation of matter-wave soliton trains by modulational instability
Nonlinear systems can exhibit a rich set of dynamics that are inherently
sensitive to their initial conditions. One such example is modulational
instability, which is believed to be one of the most prevalent instabilities in
nature. By exploiting a shallow zero-crossing of a Feshbach resonance, we
characterize modulational instability and its role in the formation of
matter-wave soliton trains from a Bose-Einstein condensate. We examine the
universal scaling laws exhibited by the system, and through real-time imaging,
address a long-standing question of whether the solitons in trains are created
with effectively repulsive nearest neighbor interactions, or rather, evolve
into such a structure
Improved lattice QCD with quarks: the 2 dimensional case
QCD in two dimensions is investigated using the improved fermionic lattice
Hamiltonian proposed by Luo, Chen, Xu, and Jiang. We show that the improved
theory leads to a significant reduction of the finite lattice spacing errors.
The quark condensate and the mass of lightest quark and anti-quark bound state
in the strong coupling phase (different from t'Hooft phase) are computed. We
find agreement between our results and the analytical ones in the continuum.Comment: LaTeX file (including text + 10 figures
