59Co NMR study of the Co states in superconducting and anhydrous cobaltates
Co NMR spectra in oriented powders of NaCoO and in its
hydrated superconducting phase (HSC) NaCoO,1.3HO reveal a
single electronic Co state with identical independent NMR shift tensor.
These phases differ markedly from NaCoO, in which we resolve 3
types of Co sites. The large T variation of their spin susceptibilities and the anisotropy of the orbital susceptibility allow us
to conclude that charge disproportionation occurs, in a non magnetic Co
and two magnetic sites with about 0.3 and 0.7 holes in the multiplet.
The data are consistent with those for the single Co site in the anhydrous and
HSC phase assuming the expected Co charge.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication in Phys. Rev. Let
Electronic structure of GaAs1-xNx alloy by soft-X-ray absorption and emission: Origin of the reduced optical efficiency
The local electronic structure of N atoms in a diluted GaAs1-xNx (x=3%)
alloy, in view of applications in optoelectronics, is determined for the first
time using soft-X-ray absorption (SXA) and emission (SXE). Deviations from
crystalline GaN, in particular in the conduction band, are dramatic. Employing
the orbital character and elemental specificity of the SXE/SXA spectroscopies,
we identify a charge transfer from the N atoms at the valence band maximum,
reducing the overlap with the wavefunction in conduction band minimum, as the
main factor limiting the optical efficiency of GaAs1-xNx alloys. Moreover, a
k-conserving process of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering involving the L1
derived valence and conduction states is discovered.Comment: 3 pages, physica status solidi (Rapid Research Notes), in pres
Lithium and magnesium isotopes fractionation by zone melting
The process of changing isotopic composition of the lithium and magnesium salts was studied by using the process of zone melting. It was founded in the paper that the process of separation of the lithium isotopes is more effective than for magnesium isotopes when the conditions of process were the same. The coefficients of isotopes separation were calculated and have the next value: [alpha]=1.006 for 26Mg isotope and [alpha]=1.0022 for {6}Li isotope
Time-domain direct and inverse scattering for bi-anisotropic slabs at oblique incidence
A Long-wave Action of Spin Hamiltonians and the Inverse Problem of the Calculus of Variations
We suggest a method of derivation of the long-wave action of the model spin Hamiltonians using the non-linear partial differential equations of motions of the individual spins. According to the Vainberg's theorem the set of these equations are (formal) potential if the symmetry analysis for the Frechet derivatives of the system is true. The case of Heisenberg (anti)ferromagnets is considered. It is shown the functional whose stationary points are described by the equations coincides with the long-wave action and includes the non-trivial topological term (Berry phase). © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V
Quantum ergodicity for Pauli Hamiltonians with spin 1/2
Quantum ergodicity, which expresses the semiclassical convergence of almost
all expectation values of observables in eigenstates of the quantum Hamiltonian
to the corresponding classical microcanonical average, is proven for
non-relativistic quantum particles with spin 1/2. It is shown that quantum
ergodicity holds, if a suitable combination of the classical translational
dynamics and the spin dynamics along the trajectories of the translational
motion is ergodic.Comment: 20 pages, no figure
