SO(5) superconductor in a Zeeman magnetic field: Phase diagram and thermodynamic properties
In this paper we present calculations of the SO(5) quantum rotor theory of
high-T superconductivity in Zeeman magnetic field. We use the spherical
approach for five-component quantum rotors in three-dimensional lattice to
obtain formulas for critical lines, free energy, entropy and specific heat and
present temperature dependences of these quantities for different values of
magnetic field. Our results are in qualitative agreement with relevant
experiments on high-T cuprates.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev. B, see http://prb.aps.or
Collective patterns arising out of spatio-temporal chaos
We present a simple mathematical model in which a time averaged pattern
emerges out of spatio-temporal chaos as a result of the collective action of
chaotic fluctuations. Our evolution equation possesses spatial translational
symmetry under a periodic boundary condition. Thus the spatial inhomogeneity of
the statistical state arises through a spontaneous symmetry breaking. The
transition from a state of homogeneous spatio-temporal chaos to one exhibiting
spatial order is explained by introducing a collective viscosity which relates
the averaged pattern with a correlation of the fluctuations.Comment: 11 pages (Revtex) + 5 figures (postscript
Superexchange Interaction in Insulating EuZnP
We report magnetic and transport properties of single-crystalline
EuZnP, which has trigonal CaAlSi-type crystal structure and
orders antiferromagnetically at 23~K. Easy -plane
magneto-crystalline anisotropy was confirmed from the magnetization isotherms,
measured with a magnetic field applied along different crystallographic
directions (-plane and -axis). Positive Curie-Weiss temperature
indicates dominating ferromagnetic correlations. Electrical resistivity
displays insulating behavior with a band-gap of 0.177~eV, which
decreases to 0.13~eV upon application of a high magnetic field. We
explained the intriguing presence of magnetic interactions in an intermetallic
insulator by the mechanism of extended superexchange, with phosphorus as an
anion mediator, which is further supported by our analysis of the charge and
spin density distributions. We constructed the effective Heisenberg model, with
exchange parameters derived from the \textit{ab initio} DFT calculations, and
employed it in Monte-Carlo simulations, which correctly reproduced the
experimental value of N\'eel temperature
Phase Diffusion in Localized Spatio-Temporal Amplitude Chaos
We present numerical simulations of coupled Ginzburg-Landau equations
describing parametrically excited waves which reveal persistent dynamics due to
the occurrence of phase slips in sequential pairs, with the second phase slip
quickly following and negating the first. Of particular interest are solutions
where these double phase slips occur irregularly in space and time within a
spatially localized region. An effective phase diffusion equation utilizing the
long term phase conservation of the solution explains the localization of this
new form of amplitude chaos.Comment: 4 pages incl. 5 figures uucompresse
