    Magnetic response and quantum critical behavior in the doped two-leg extended Hubbard ladder

    Full text link
    We have investigated quantum critical behavior in the doped two-leg extended Hubbard ladder, by using a weak-coupling bosonization method. In the ground state, the dominant fluctuation changes from the conventional d-wave-like superconducting (SCd) state into density-wave states, with increasing nearest-neighbor repulsions and/or decreasing doping rate. The competition between the SCd state and the charge-density-wave state coexisting with the p-density-wave state becomes noticeable on the critical point, at which the gap for magnetic excitations vanishes. Based on the Majorana-fermion description of the effective theory, we calculate the temperature dependence of the magnetic response such as the spin susceptibility and the NMR relaxation rate, which exhibit unusual properties due to two kinds of spin excitation modes. On the quantum critical point, the spin susceptibility shows paramagnetic behavior with logarithmic corrections and the NMR relaxation rate also exhibits anomalous power-law behavior. We discuss the commensurability effect due to the umklapp scattering and relevance to the two-leg ladder compounds Sr_{14-x}Ca_xCu_{24}O_{41}.Comment: 18 pages, 9 figures, accepted for publication in Phys.

    Hydrodynamic response of rotationally supported flows in the Small Shearing Box model

    Get PDF
    The hydrodynamic response of the inviscid small shearing box model of a midplane section of a rotationally supported astrophysical disk is examined. An energy functional E{\cal E} is formulated for the general nonlinear problem. It is found that the fate of disturbances is related to the conservation of this quantity which, in turn, depends on the boundary conditions utilized: E{\cal E} is conserved for channel boundary conditions while it is not conserved in general for shearing box conditions. Linearized disturbances subject to channel boundary conditions have normal-modes described by Bessel Functions and are qualitatively governed by a quantity Σ\Sigma which is a measure of the ratio between the azimuthal and vertical wavelengths. Inertial oscillations ensue if Σ>1\Sigma >1 - otherwise disturbances must in general be treated as an initial value problem. We reflect upon these results and offer a speculation.Comment: 6 pages, resubmitted to Astronomy and Astrophysics, shortened with references adde

    Characterization of bean necrotic mosaic virus: a member of a novel evolutionary lineage within the genus Tospovirus.

    Tospoviruses (Genus Tospovirus, Family Bunyaviridae) are phytopathogens responsible for significant worldwide crop losses. They have a tripartite negative and ambisense RNA genome segments, termed S (Small), M (Medium) and L (Large) RNA. The vector-transmission is mediated by thrips in a circulative-propagative manner. For new tospovirus species acceptance, several analyses are needed, e.g., the determination of the viral protein sequences for enlightenment of their evolutionary history

    Charge-Density-Wave Formation in the Doped Two-Leg Extended Hubbard Ladder

    Full text link
    We investigate electronic properties of the doped two-leg Hubbard ladder with both the onsite and the nearest-neighbor Coulomb repulsions, by using the the weak-coupling renormalization-group method. It is shown that, for strong nearest-neighbor repulsions, the charge-density-wave state coexisting with the p-density-wave state becomes dominant fluctuation where spins form intrachain singlets. By increasing doping rate, we have also shown that the effects of the nearest-neighbor repulsions are reduced and the system exhibits a quantum phase transition into the d-wave-like (or rung-singlet) superconducting state. We derive the effective fermion theory which describes the critical properties of the transition point with the gapless excitation of magnon. The phase diagram of the two-leg ladder compound, Sr_{14-x}Ca_xCu_{24}O_{41}, is discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
