Some Exact Solutions For The Classical Hall Effect In Inhomogeneous Magnetic Field
The classical Hall effect in inhomogeneous systems is considered for the case
of one-dimensional inhomogeneity. For a certain geometry of the problem and for
the magnetic field linearly depending on the coordinate the density of current
distribution corresponds to the skin-effect.Comment: 5 pages, LaTe
A model for the phase separation controlled by doping and the internal chemical pressure in different cuprate superconductors
In the framework of a two-band model, we study the phase separation regime of
different kinds of strongly correlated charge carriers as a function of the
energy splitting between the two sets of bands. The narrow (wide) band
simulates the more localized (more delocalized) type of charge carriers. By
assuming that the internal chemical pressure on the CuO layer due to
interlayer mismatch controls the energy splitting between the two sets of
states, the theoretical predictions are able to reproduce the regime of phase
separation at doping higher than 1/8 in the experimental pressure-doping-
phase diagram of cuprates at large microstrain as it appears in overoxygenated
LaCuO.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.
--Oscillations for Correlated Electron Pairs in Disordered Mesoscopic Rings
The full spectrum of two interacting electrons in a disordered mesoscopic
one--dimensional ring threaded by a magnetic flux is calculated numerically.
For ring sizes far exceeding the one--particle localization length we
find several --periodic states whose eigenfunctions exhibit a pairing
effect. This represents the first direct observation of interaction--assisted
coherent pair propagation, the pair being delocalized on the scale of the whole
ring.Comment: 4 pages, uuencoded PostScript, containing 5 figures
Electronic phase separation due to magnetic polaron formation in the semimetallic ferromagnet EuB - A weakly-nonlinear-transport study
We report measurements of weakly nonlinear electronic transport, as measured
by third-harmonic voltage generation , in the low-carrier density
semimetallic ferromagnet EuB, which exhibits an unusual magnetic ordering
with two consecutive transitions at \,K and \,K. Upon cooling in zero magnetic field through the ferromagnetic
transition, the dramatic drop in the linear resistivity at the upper transition
coincides with the onset of nonlinearity, and upon further cooling is
followed by a pronounced peak in at the lower transition
. Likewise, in the paramagnetic regime, a drop of the material's
magnetoresistance precedes a magnetic-field-induced peak in nonlinear
transport. A striking observation is a linear temperature dependence of
. We suggest a picture where at the upper transition
the coalescing MP form a conducting path giving rise to a strong
decrease in the resistance. The MP formation sets in at around \,K below which these entities are isolated and strongly fluctuating, while
growing in number. The MP then start to form links at , where
percolative electronic transport is observed. The MP merge and start forming a
continuum at the threshold . In the paramagnetic temperature regime
, MP percolation is induced by a magnetic field, and the
threshold accompanied by charge carrier delocalization occurs at a single
critical magnetization.Comment: to appear in J. Kor. Phys. Soc (ICM2012 conference contribution

Whirling skirts and rotating cones
Steady, dihedrally symmetric patterns with sharp peaks may be observed on a
spinning skirt, lagging behind the material flow of the fabric. These
qualitative features are captured with a minimal model of traveling waves on an
inextensible, flexible, generalized-conical sheet rotating about a fixed axis.
Conservation laws are used to reduce the dynamics to a quadrature describing a
particle in a three-parameter family of potentials. One parameter is associated
with the stress in the sheet, aNoether is the current associated with
rotational invariance, and the third is a Rossby number which indicates the
relative strength of Coriolis forces. Solutions are quantized by enforcing a
topology appropriate to a skirt and a particular choice of dihedral symmetry. A
perturbative analysis of nearly axisymmetric cones shows that Coriolis effects
are essential in establishing skirt-like solutions. Fully non-linear solutions
with three-fold symmetry are presented which bear a suggestive resemblance to
the observed patterns.Comment: two additional figures, changes to text throughout. journal version

Thermodynamics of the frustrated - Heisenberg ferromagnet on the body-centered cubic lattice with arbitrary spin
We use the spin-rotation-invariant Green's function method as well as the
high-temperature expansion to discuss the thermodynamic properties of the
frustrated spin- - Heisenberg magnet on the body-centered
cubic lattice. We consider ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor bonds and
antiferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor bonds and arbitrary spin
. We find that the transition point between the ferromagnetic ground
state and the antiferromagnetic one is nearly independent of the spin ,
i.e., it is very close to the classical transition point . At finite temperatures we focus on the parameter regime
with a ferromagnetic ground-state. We calculate the Curie
temperature and derive an empirical formula describing the
influence of the frustration parameter and spin on . We find
that the Curie temperature monotonically decreases with increasing frustration
, where very close to the -curve exhibits a
fast decay which is well described by a logarithmic term
. To characterize the magnetic ordering
below and above , we calculate the spin-spin correlation functions
, the spontaneous
magnetization, the uniform static susceptibility as well as the
correlation length . Moreover, we discuss the specific heat and the
temperature dependence of the excitation spectrum. As approaching the
transition point some unusual features were found, such as negative
spin-spin correlations at temperatures above even though the ground state
is ferromagnetic or an increase of the spin stiffness with growing temperature.Comment: 19 pages, 10 figures, version as in EPJ
