Effect of the Canting of Local Anisotropy Axes on Ground-State Properties of a Ferrimagnetic Chain with Regularly Alternating Ising and Heisenberg Spins
The effect of the canting of local anisotropy axes on the ground-state phase
diagram and magnetization of a ferrimagnetic chain with regularly alternating
Ising and Heisenberg spins is exactly examined in an arbitrarily oriented
magnetic field. It is shown that individual contributions of Ising and
Heisenberg spins to the total magnetization basically depend on the spatial
orientation of the magnetic field and the canting angle between two different
local anisotropy axes of the Ising spins.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figure
H\"older mean applied to Anderson localization
The phase diagram of correlated, disordered electron systems is calculated
within dynamical mean-field theory using the H\"older mean local density of
states. A critical disorder strength is determined in the
Anderson-Falicov-Kimball model and the arithmetically and the geometrically
averages are found to be just particular means used respectively to detect or
not the Anderson localization. Correlated metal, Mott insulator and Anderson
insulator phases, as well as coexistence and crossover regimes are analyzed in
this new perspective.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures: Phys. Rev. B 76, 035111 (2007
Three path interference using nuclear magnetic resonance: a test of the consistency of Born's rule
The Born rule is at the foundation of quantum mechanics and transforms our
classical way of understanding probabilities by predicting that interference
occurs between pairs of independent paths of a single object. One consequence
of the Born rule is that three way (or three paths) quantum interference does
not exist. In order to test the consistency of the Born rule, we examine
detection probabilities in three path intereference using an ensemble of
spin-1/2 quantum registers in liquid state nuclear magnetic resonance (LSNMR).
As a measure of the consistency, we evaluate the ratio of three way
interference to two way interference. Our experiment bounded the ratio to the
order of , and hence it is consistent with Born's rule.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figures; Improved presentation of figures 1 and 4,
