Electronic Structure of Charge- and Spin-controlled Sr_{1-(x+y)}La_{x+y}Ti_{1-x}Cr_{x}O_{3}
We present the electronic structure of
Sr_{1-(x+y)}La_{x+y}Ti_{1-x}Cr_{x}O_{3} investigated by high-resolution
photoemission spectroscopy. In the vicinity of Fermi level, it was found that
the electronic structure were composed of a Cr 3d local state with the
t_{2g}^{3} configuration and a Ti 3d itinerant state. The energy levels of
these Cr and Ti 3d states are well interpreted by the difference of the
charge-transfer energy of both ions. The spectral weight of the Cr 3d state is
completely proportional to the spin concentration x irrespective of the carrier
concentration y, indicating that the spin density can be controlled by x as
desired. In contrast, the spectral weight of the Ti 3d state is not
proportional to y, depending on the amount of Cr doping.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures. Accepted for publication in Phys. Rev. Let
Induced local spin-singlet amplitude and pseudogap in high cuprates
In this paper we show that local spin-singlet amplitude with d-wave symmetry,
, can be induced by short-range spin correlations even
in the absence of pairing interactions. Fluctuation theory is formulated to
make connection between pseudogap temperature $T^{*}$, pseudogap size
$\Delta_{pg}$ and . In the present scenario for the
pseudogap, the normal state pseudogap is caused by the induced local
spin-singlet amplitude due to short-range spin correlations, which compete in
the low energy sector with superconducting correlations to make go to
zero near half-filling. Calculated falls from a high value onto the
line and closely follows mean-field N\'{e}el temperature .
The calculated is in good agreement with experimental results. We
propose an experiment in which the present scenario can be critically tested.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
Heat Capacity and Magnetic Phase Diagram of the Low-Dimensional Antiferromagnet YBaCuO
A study by specific heat of a polycrystalline sample of the low-dimensional
magnetic system YBaCuO is presented. Magnetic fields up to 14 T are
applied and permit to extract the (,) phase diagram. Below
T, the N\'eel temperature, associated with a
three-dimensional antiferromagnetic long-range ordering, is constant and equals
K. Above , increases linearly with and a
field-induced increase of the entropy at is related to the presence of an
isosbestic point at K, where all the specific heat curves cross.
A comparison is made between YBaCuO and the quasi-two-dimensional
magnetic systems BaNiVO, SrCuOCl, and
PrCuO, for which very similar phase diagrams have been reported. An
effective field-induced magnetic anisotropy is proposed to explain these phase
diagrams.Comment: 14 pages, 7 figure
Metal-insulator transition in the two-orbital Hubbard model at fractional band fillings: Self-energy functional approach
We investigate the infinite-dimensional two-orbital Hubbard model at
arbitrary band fillings. By means of the self-energy functional approach, we
discuss the stability of the metallic state in the systems with same and
different bandwidths. It is found that the Mott insulating phases are realized
at commensurate band fillings. Furthermore, it is clarified that the orbital
selective Mott phase with one orbital localized and the other itinerant is
stabilized even at fractional band fillings in the system with different
bandwidths.Comment: 7 pages, 10 figure
Superconductivity in the Three-Fold Charge-Ordered Metal of the Triangular-Lattice Extended Hubbard Model
The quarter-filling extended Hubbard model on the triangular lattice is
studied to explore pairing instability in the three-fold charge-ordered (CO)
metal. We derive a second-order strong-coupling effective Hamiltonian of doped
carriers into the three-fold CO insulator at electron density of , and
then study the - and -wave superconductivities down to by
using the BCS mean-field approximation. It is found that the triplet -wave
pairing is more stable than the -wave one. We also point out that this
coexisting state of the charge ordering and superconductivity is possible to
have critical temperature .Comment: 4 pages, 7 figure
Regge and Okamoto symmetries
We will relate the surprising Regge symmetry of the Racah-Wigner 6j symbols
to the surprising Okamoto symmetry of the Painleve VI differential equation.
This then presents the opportunity to give a conceptual derivation of the Regge
symmetry, as the representation theoretic analogue of the author's previous
derivation of the Okamoto symmetry.
[The resulting derivation is quite simple, so it would be surprising if it
has not been previously observed. Any references would be appreciated!]Comment: 14 page
Calculation of the average Green's function of electrons in a stochastic medium via higher-dimensional bosonization
The disorder averaged single-particle Green's function of electrons subject
to a time-dependent random potential with long-range spatial correlations is
calculated by means of bosonization in arbitrary dimensions. For static
disorder our method is equivalent with conventional perturbation theory based
on the lowest order Born approximation. For dynamic disorder, however, we
obtain a new non-perturbative expression for the average Green's function.
Bosonization also provides a solid microscopic basis for the description of the
quantum dynamics of an interacting many-body system via an effective stochastic
model with Gaussian probability distribution.Comment: RevTex, no figure
Detection of skewed X-chromosome inactivation in Fragile X syndrome and X chromosome aneuploidy using quantitative melt analysis.
Methylation of the fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) exon 1/intron 1 boundary positioned fragile X related epigenetic element 2 (FREE2), reveals skewed X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) in fragile X syndrome full mutation (FM: CGGÂ >Â 200) females. XCI skewing has been also linked to abnormal X-linked gene expression with the broader clinical impact for sex chromosome aneuploidies (SCAs). In this study, 10 FREE2 CpG sites were targeted using methylation specific quantitative melt analysis (MS-QMA), including 3 sites that could not be analysed with previously used EpiTYPER system. The method was applied for detection of skewed XCI in FM females and in different types of SCA. We tested venous blood and saliva DNA collected from 107 controls (CGGÂ <Â 40), and 148 FM and 90 SCA individuals. MS-QMA identified: (i) most SCAs if combined with a Y chromosome test; (ii) locus-specific XCI skewing towards the hypomethylated state in FM females; and (iii) skewed XCI towards the hypermethylated state in SCA with 3 or more X chromosomes, and in 5% of the 47,XXY individuals. MS-QMA output also showed significant correlation with the EpiTYPER reference method in FM males and females (PÂ <Â 0.0001) and SCAs (PÂ <Â 0.05). In conclusion, we demonstrate use of MS-QMA to quantify skewed XCI in two applications with diagnostic utility
Heavy Quasi-Particle in the Two-Orbital Hubbard Model
The two-orbital Hubbard model with the Hund coupling is investigated in a
metallic phase close to the Mott insulator. We calculate the one-particle
spectral function and the optical conductivity within dynamical mean field
theory, for which the effective impurity problem is solved by using the
non-crossing approximation. For a metallic system close to quarter filling, a
heavy quasi-particle band is formed by the Hubbard interaction, the effective
mass of which is not so sensitive to the orbital splitting and the Hund
coupling. In contrast, a heavy quasi-particle band near half filling disappears
in the presence of the orbital splitting, but is induced again by the
introduction of the Hund coupling, resulting in a different type of heavy
quasi-particles.Comment: 6page, 7eps figures, to appear in J. Phys. Soc. Jp
