Inelastic neutron scattering study on the resonance mode in an optimally doped superconductor LaFeAsOF
An optimally doped iron-based superconductor LaFeAsOF with
K has been studied by inelastic powder neutron scattering. The
magnetic excitation at \AA is enhanced below , leading to
a peak at meV as the resonance mode, in addition to the
formation of a gap at low energy below the crossover energy . The peak energy at \AA corresponds to in
good agreement with the other values of resonance mode observed in the various
iron-based superconductors, even in the high- cuprates. Although the
phonon density of states has a peak at the same energy as the resonance mode in
the present superconductor, the -dependence is consistent with the resonance
being of predominately magnetic origin.Comment: 4 pages, 5 Postscript figure
Antiferromagnetic ordering and dipolar interactions of YbAlO
In this paper we report low-temperature magnetic properties of the rare-earth
perovskite material YbAlO. Results of elastic and inelastic neutron
scattering experiment, magnetization measurements along with the crystalline
electrical field (CEF) calculations suggest that the ground state of Yb moments
is a strongly anisotropic Kramers doublet, and the moments are confined in the
-plane, pointing at an angle of to the
-axis. With temperature decreasing below K, Yb moments
order into the coplanar, but non-collinear antiferromagnetic (AFM) structure
, where the moments are pointed along their easy-axes. In addition, we
highlight the importance of the dipole-dipole interaction, which selects the
type of magnetic ordering and may be crucial for understanding magnetic
properties of other rare-earth orthorhombic perovskites. Further analysis of
the broad diffuse neutron scattering shows that one-dimensional interaction
along the -axis is dominant, and suggests YbAlO as a new member of one
dimensional quantum magnets.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figure
Quantum ergodicity for restrictions to hypersurfaces
Quantum ergodicity theorem states that for quantum systems with ergodic
classical flows, eigenstates are, in average, uniformly distributed on energy
surfaces. We show that if N is a hypersurface in the position space satisfying
a simple dynamical condition, the restrictions of eigenstates to N are also
quantum ergodic.Comment: 22 pages, 1 figure; revised according to referee's comments. To
