    Properties of an almost localized Fermi liquid in applied magnetic field revisited: Statistically consistent Gutzwiller approach

    Full text link
    We discuss the Hubbard model in an applied magnetic field and analyze the properties of neutral spin-1/2 fermions within the so-called statistically consistent Gutzwiller approximation (SGA). The magnetization curve reproduces in a semiquantitative manner the experimental data for liquid 3 He in the regime of moderate correlations and in the presence of small number of vacant cells, modeled by a non-half filled-band situation, when a small number of vacancies (up to 5%) is introduced in the virtual fcc lattice. We also present the results for the magnetic susceptibility and the specific heat, in which a metamagnetic-like behavior is also singled out in a non-half-filled band case

    Holographic superconductivity in the presence of dark matter: basic issues

    Full text link
    The holographic approach to study strongly coupled superconductors in the presence of dark matter is reviewed. We discuss the influence of dark matter on the superconducting transition temperature of both s-wave and p-wave holographic superconductors. The upper critical field, coherence length, penetration depth of holographic superconductors as well as the metal-insulator transitions have also been analysed. Issues related to the validity of AdS/CFT correspondence for the description of superconductors studied in the laboratory and possible experiments directed towards the detection of dark matter are discussed. In doing so we shall compare our assumptions and assertions with those generally accepted in the elementary particle experiments aimed at the detection of dark matter particles.Comment: 5+ pages, 1 figure, National Conference on Superconductivity 2015, Karpacz, Polan

    Holographic vortices in the presence of dark matter sector

    Get PDF
    The {\it dark matter} seem to be an inevitable ingredient of the total matter configuration in the Universe and the knowledge how the {\it dark matter} affects the properties of superconductors is of vital importance for the experiments aimed at its direct detection. The homogeneous magnetic field acting perpendicularly to the surface of (2+1) dimensional s-wave holographic superconductor in the theory with {\it dark matter} sector has been modeled by the additional U(1)U(1)-gauge field representing dark matter and coupled to the Maxwell one. As expected the free energy for the vortex configuration turns out to be negative. Importantly its value is lower in the presence of {\it dark matter} sector. This feature can explain why in the Early Universe first the web of {\it dark matter} appeared and next on these gratings the ordinary matter forming cluster of galaxies has formed.Comment: 23 pages, JHEP-styl

    Magnetotransport of Weyl semimetals with Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 topological charge and chiral anomaly

    Full text link
    We calculate the magnetoconductivity of the Weyl semimetal with Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 symmetry and chiral anomaly utilizing the recently developed hydrodynamic theory. The system in question will be influenced by magnetic fields connected with ordinary Maxwell and the second U(1)U(1)-gauge field, which is responsible for anomalous topological charge. The presence of chiral anomaly and Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 anomalous charge endow the system with new transport coefficients. We start with the linear perturbations of the hydrodynamic equations and calculate the magnetoconductivity of this system. The holographic approach in the probe limit is implemented to obtain the explicit dependence of the longitudinal magnetoconductivities on the magnetic fields.Comment: 35 pages, 4 figures, LaTex, the title was changed, the version meets the printed one

    P-wave holographic superconductor/insulator phase transitions affected by dark matter sector

    Full text link
    The holographic approach to building the p-wave superconductors results in three different models: the Maxwell-vector, the SU(2) Yang-Mills and the helical. In the probe limit approximation, we analytically examine the properties of the first two models in the theory with {\it dark matter} sector. It turns out that the effect of {\it dark matter} on the Maxwell-vector p-wave model is the same as on the s-wave superconductor studied earlier. For the non-Abelian model we study the phase transitions between p-wave holographic insulator/superconductor and metal/superconductor. Studies of marginally stable modes in the theory under consideration allow us to determine features of p-wave holographic droplet in a constant magnetic field. The dependence of the superconducting transition temperature on the coupling constant α\alpha to the {\it dark matter} sector is affected by the {\it dark matter} density ρD\rho_D. For ρD>ρ\rho_D>\rho the transition temperature is a decreasing function of α\alpha. The critical chemical potential μc\mu_c for the quantum phase transition between insulator and metal depends on the chemical potential of dark matter μD\mu_D and for μD=0\mu_D=0 is a decreasing function of α\alpha.Comment: 25 pages, 3 figures, JHEP style (included), version accepted for publication in JHE

    Holographic calcualtion of the magneto-transport coefficients in Dirac semimetals

    Full text link
    Based on the gauge/gravity correspondence we have calculated the thermoelectric kinetic and transport characteristics of the strongly interacting materials in the presence of perpendicular magnetic field. The 3+1 dimensional system with Dirac-like spectrum is considered as a strongly interacting one if it is close to the particle-hole symmetry point. Transport in such system has been modeled by the two interacting vector fields. In the holographic theory the momentum relaxation is caused by axion field and leads to finite values of the direct current transport coefficients. We have calculated conductivity tensor in the presence of mutually perpendicular electric and magnetic fields and temperature gradient. The geometry differs from that in which magnetic field lies in the same plane as an electric one and temperature gradient.Comment: 26 pages, 7 figure

    Gutzwiller Wave-Function Solution for Anderson Lattice Model: Emerging Universal Regimes of Heavy Quasiparticle States

    Full text link
    The recently proposed diagrammatic expansion (DE) technique for the full Gutzwiller wave function (GWF) is applied to the Anderson lattice model (ALM). This approach allows for a systematic evaluation of the expectation values with GWF in the finite dimensional systems. It introduces results extending in an essential manner those obtained by means of standard Gutzwiller Approximation (GA) scheme which is variationally exact only in infinite dimensions. Within the DE-GWF approach we discuss principal paramagnetic properties of ALM and their relevance to heavy fermion systems. We demonstrate the formation of an effective, narrow ff-band originating from atomic ff-electron states and subsequently interpret this behavior as a mutual intersite ff-electron coherence; a combined effect of both the hybridization and the Coulomb repulsion. Such feature is absent on the level of GA which is equivalent to the zeroth order of our expansion. Formation of the hybridization- and electron-concentration-dependent narrow effective ff-band rationalizes common assumption of such dispersion of ff levels in the phenomenological modeling of the band structure of CeCoIn5_5. Moreover, we show that the emerging ff-electron coherence leads in a natural manner to three physically distinct regimes within a single model, that are frequently discussed for 4ff- or 5ff- electron compounds as separate model situations. We identify these regimes as: (i) mixed-valence regime, (ii) Kondo-insulator border regime, and (iii) Kondo-lattice limit when the ff-electron occupancy is very close to the ff electrons half-filling, n^f1\langle\hat n_{f}\rangle\rightarrow1. The non-Landau features of emerging correlated quantum liquid state are stressed.Comment: Submitted to Phys. Rev.
