    Orbital magnetism in axially deformed sodium clusters: From scissors mode to dia-para magnetic anisotropy

    Get PDF
    Low-energy orbital magnetic dipole excitations, known as scissors mode (SM), are studied in alkali metal clusters. Subsequent dynamic and static effects are explored. The treatment is based on a self-consistent microscopic approach using the jellium approximation for the ionic background and the Kohn-Sham mean field for the electrons. The microscopic origin of SM and its main features (structure of the mode in light and medium clusters, separation into low- and high-energy plasmons, coupling high-energy M1 scissors and E2 quadrupole plasmons, contributions of shape isomers, etc) are discussed. The scissors M1 strength acquires large values with increasing cluster size. The mode is responsible for the van Vleck paramagnetism of spin-saturated clusters. Quantum shell effects induce a fragile interplay between Langevin diamagnetism and van Vleck paramagnetism and lead to a remarkable dia-para anisotropy in magnetic susceptibility of particular light clusters. Finally, several routes for observing the SM experimentally are discussed.Comment: 21 pages, 7 figure

    Spin-polarized current and shot noise in the presence of spin flip in a quantum dot via nonequilibrium Green's functions

    Using non-equilibrium Green functions we calculate the spin-polarized current and shot noise in a ferromagnet--quantum-dot--ferromagnet (FM-QD-FM) system. Both parallel (P) and antiparallel (AP) magnetic configurations are considered. Coulomb interaction and coherent spin-flip (similar to a transverse magnetic field) are taken into account within the dot. We find that the interplay between Coulomb interaction and spin accumulation in the dot can result in a bias-dependent current polarization \wp. In particular, \wp can be suppressed in the P alignment and enhanced in the AP case depending on the bias voltage. The coherent spin-flip can also result in a switch of the current polarization from the emitter to the collector lead. Interestingly, for a particular set of parameters it is possible to have a polarized current in the collector and an unpolarized current in the emitter lead. We also found a suppression of the Fano factor to values well below 0.5.Comment: Published version. 13 pages, 7 figure

    Multiplicação e conservação de orquídeas da Mata Atlântica e Caatinga.

    Embora seja possível encontrar orquídeas praticamente em todo o tipo de habitats (exceto nos desertos mais extremos e nas zonas polares), elas atingem a sua máxima diversidade nas regiões tropicais. No entanto, devido a diversos fatores, muitas espécies de orquídeas estão ameaçadas de extinção, tornando-se necessária a adoção de medidas que evitem perdas dentro da família Orchidaceae
