Observation of the Ettingshausen effect in quantum Hall systems
Evidence of the Ettingshausen effect in the breakdown regime of the integer
quantum Hall effect has been observed in a GaAs/AlGaAs two-dimensional electron
system. Resistance of micro Hall bars attached to both edges of a current
channel shows remarkable asymmetric behaviors which indicate an electron
temperature difference between the edges. The sign of the difference depends on
the direction of the electric current and the polarity of the magnetic field.
The results are consistent with the recent theory of Akera.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Field-Shift Aging Protocol on the 3D Ising Spin-Glass Model: Dynamical Crossover between the Spin-Glass and Paramagnetic States
Spin-glass (SG) states of the 3-dimensional Ising Edwards-Anderson model
under a static magnetic field are examined by means of the standard Monte
Carlo simulation on the field-shift aging protocol at temperature . For each
process with (T; \tw, h), \tw being the waiting time before the field is
switched on, we extract the dynamical crossover time, \tcr(T; \tw, h). We
have found a nice scaling relation between the two characteristic length scales
which are properly determined from \tcr and \tw and then are normalized by
the static field crossover length introduced in the SG droplet theory. This
scaling behavior implies the instability of the SG phase in the equilibrium
limit even under an infinitesimal . In comparison with this numerical result
the field effect on real spin glasses is also discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, jpsj2, Changed conten
Real space application of the mean-field description of spin glass dynamics
The out of equilibrium dynamics of finite dimensional spin glasses is
considered from a point of view going beyond the standard `mean-field theory'
versus `droplet picture' debate of the last decades. The main predictions of
both theories concerning the spin glass dynamics are discussed. It is shown, in
particular, that predictions originating from mean-field ideas concerning the
violations of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem apply quantitatively,
provided one properly takes into account the role of the spin glass coherence
length which plays a central role in the droplet picture. Dynamics in a uniform
magnetic field is also briefly discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 4 eps figures. v2: published versio
Time and length scales in spin glasses
We discuss the slow, nonequilibrium, dynamics of spin glasses in their glassy
phase. We briefly review the present theoretical understanding of the
spectacular phenomena observed in experiments and describe new numerical
results obtained in the first large-scale simulation of the nonequilibrium
dynamics of the three dimensional Heisenberg spin glass.Comment: Paper presented at "Highly Frustrated Magnetism 2003", Grenoble,

Giant Rashba splitting of quasi-1D surface states on Bi/InAs(110)-(21)
Electronic states on the Bi/InAs(110)-(21) surface and its
spin-polarized structure are revealed by angle-resolved photoelectron
spectroscopy (ARPES), spin-resolved ARPES, and density-functional-theory
calculation. The surface state showed quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) dispersion
and a nearly metallic character; the top of the hole-like surface band is just
below the Fermi level. The size of the Rashba parameter ()
reached quite a large value (5.5 eV\AA). The present result would provide
a fertile playground for further studies of the exotic electronic phenomena in
1D or Q1D systems with the spin-split electronic states as well as for advanced
spintronic devices.Comment: 8 pages (double column), 7 figures and 1 tabl
