Field induced antiferromagnetism and O Knight shift anomaly in LaCuO
We address the effect of the field induced antiferromagnetism in paramagnetic
state of the cuprate weak ferromagnet LaCuO. The planar oxygen O
Knight shift is shown to be an effective tool to inspect the effects of
Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya coupling in cuprates in an external magnetic field. Field
induced antiferromagnetism and anisotropic antiferromagnetic contribution to
K explain the anomalies observed in O NMR in LaCuO. The
experimental observation of antiferromagnetic contribution to the O
Knight shift provides probably the only way to find out the problem of the
sense of Dzyaloshinsky vector in cuprates.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, submitted to PR
Large non-adiabatic hole polarons and matrix element effects in the angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of dielectric cuprates
It has been made an extention of the conventional theory based on the
assumption of the well isolated Zhang-Rice singlet to be a first
electron-removal state in dielectric copper oxide. One assumes the photohole
has been localised on either small (pseudo)Jahn-Teller polaron or large
non-adiabatic polaron enclosed one or four to five centers,
respectively, with active one-center valent
manifold. In the framework of the cluster model we have performed a model
microscopic calculation of the -dependence of the matrix element
effects and photon polarization effects for the angle-resolved photoemission in
dielectric cuprate like . We show that effects like the
''remnant Fermi surface'' detected in ARPES experiment for
may be, in fact, a reflection of the matrix element
effects, not a reflection of the original band-structure Fermi surface, or the
strong antiferromagnetic correlations. The measured dispersion-like features in
the low-energy part of the ARPES spectra may be a manifestation of the complex
momentum-dependent spectral line-shape of the large PJT polaron response, not
the dispersion of the well-isolated Zhang-Rice singlet in antiferromagnetic
matrix.Comment: 16 pages, TeX, 9 eps figures adde
Role of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in multiferroic perovskites
With the perovskite multiferroic RMnO3 (R = Gd, Tb, Dy) as guidance, we argue
that the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) provides the microscopic
mechanism for the coexistence and strong coupling between ferroelectricity and
incommensurate magnetism. We use Monte-Carlo simulations and zero temperature
exact calculations to study a model incorporating the double-exchange,
superexchange, Jahn-Teller and DMI terms. The phase diagram contains a
multiferroic phase between A and E antiferromagnetic phases, in excellent
agreement with experiments.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
Superconductivity in model cuprate as an S=1 pseudomagnon condensation
We make use of the S=1 pseudospin formalism to describe the charge degree of
freedom in a model high- cuprate with the on-site Hilbert space reduced to
the three effective valence centers, nominally Cu. Starting
with a parent cuprate as an analogue of the quantum paramagnet ground state and
using the Schwinger boson technique we found the pseudospin spectrum and
conditions for the pseudomagnon condensation with phase transition to a
superconducting state.Comment: Version to be published in JLT
Non collinear magnetism and single ion anisotropy in multiferroic perovskites
The link between the crystal distortions of the perovskite structure and the
magnetic exchange interaction, the single-ion anisotropy (SIA) and the
Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) interaction are investigated by means of
density-functional calculations. Using BiFeO and LaFeO as model
systems, we quantify the relationship between the oxygen octahedra rotations,
the ferroelectricity and the weak ferromagnetism (wFM). We recover the fact
that the wFM is due to the DM interaction induced by the oxygen octahedra
rotations. We find a simple relationship between the wFM, the oxygen rotation
amplitude and the ratio between the DM vector and the exchange parameter such
as the wFM increases with the oxygen octahedra rotation when the SIA does not
compete with the DM forces induced on the spins. Unexpectedly, we also find
that, in spite of the electronic configuration of Fe, the SIA is
very large in some structures and is surprisingly strongly sensitive to the
chemistry of the -site cation of the BO perovskite. In the ground
state phase we show that the SIA shape induced by the ferroelectricity
and the oxygen octahedra rotations are in competition such as it is possible to
tune the wFM "on" and "off" through the relative size of the two types of
distortion
Electron-conformational transformations in nanoscopic RyR channels govern both the heart's contraction and beating
We show that a simple biophysically based electron-conformational model of
RyR channel is able to explain and describe on equal footing the oscillatory
regime of the heart's cell release unit both in sinoatrial node (pacemaker)
cells under normal physiological conditions and in ventricular myocytes under
Ca SR overload.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure
Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya antisymmetric exchange coupling in cuprates: Oxygen effects
We revisit a problem of Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya antisymmetric exchange coupling
for a single bond in cuprates specifying the local spin-orbital contributions
to Dzyaloshinsky vector focusing on the oxygen term. The Dzyaloshinsky vector
and respective weak ferromagnetic moment is shown to be a superposition of
comparable and, sometimes, competing local Cu and O contributions. The
intermediate oxygen O Knight shift is shown to be an effective tool to
inspect the effects of Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya coupling in an external magnetic
field. We predict the effect of oxygen weak antiferromagnetism in
edge-shared CuO chains due to uncompensated oxygen Dzyaloshinsky vectors.
Finally, we revisit the effects of symmetric spin anisotropy, in particular,
those directly induced by Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya coupling.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figures, submitted to JET
Complex Chiral Modulations in FeGe close to Magnetic Ordering
We report on detailed polarized small-angle neutron scattering on cubic FeGe
in magnetic fields applied either along (transverse) the scattering vector or
parallel (longitudinal)to the neutron beam. The () phase diagrams for all
principal axes contain a segmented -phase region just below the onset of
magnetic order. Hexagonal Bragg-spot patterns were observed across the entire
-phase region for the longitudinal geometry. Scattering intensity was
observed in parts of the A phase for both scattering configurations. Only in a
distinct pocket () vanishing scattering intensity was found in the
transverse geometry.Comment: This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to misunderstanding
