    Effect of Fermi-liquid interactions on the low-temperature de Haas - van Alphen oscillations in quasi-two-dimensional conductors

    Full text link
    In this work we present the results of theoretical analysis of the de Haas-van Alphen oscillations in quasi-two-dimensional conductors. We have been studying the effect of the Fermi-liquid correlations of charge carriers on the above oscillations. It was shown that at reasonably low temperatures and weak electron scattering the Fermi-liquid interactions may cause noticeable changes in both amplitude and shape of the oscillations even at realistically small values of the Fermi-liquid parameters. Also, we show that the Fermi-liquid interactions in the system of the charge carriers may cause magnetic instability of a quasi-two-dimensional conductor near the peaks of quantum oscillations in the electron density of states at the Fermi surface, indicating the possibility for the diamagnetic phase transition within the relevant ranges of the applied magnetic fields.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure

    Experimental observation of spontaneous spin polarization of electrons in hybridized states of transition element impurities in semiconductors

    Full text link
    Experimental evidence of the possible existence of spontaneous spin polarization of the electron system in hybridized states formed by transition element impurity atoms in the conduction band of semiconducting crystals is examined. The details of a quantitative interpretation of experiments on the temperature dependence of the specific heat and elastic moduli of mercury selenide crystals with iron impurities confirm the feasibility of establishing the presence of electron spin polarization in this type of experiment, as well as the possible existence of polarization in the crystals studied here. Theoretical arguments support the observation of a thermodynamic anomalous Hall effect owing to spontaneously polarized donor electrons from low-concentration impurities. © 2013 AIP Publishing LLC

    Relevance. Monitoring of antibiotic resistance and the frequency of isolation of microorganisms at the regional level in each medical organization is of paramount importance for the implementation of epidemiological safety. Objective.  To identify the main microbiological trends based on the analysis of the microflora of patients in a single — profile hospital in order to implement weaknesses in strategic planning activities.  Materials and methods. A comprehensive analysis of the pharmacoepidemiological results of the consumption of antimicrobial drugs with calculated drug resistance indices and microbiological monitoring data demonstrated the presence of weaknesses and strengths for the strategic development of a multidisciplinary hospital at the regional level in terms of epidemiological safety.  Results . Statistically significant differences in the microbiological structure of pathogens are predetermined by the profile of medical care. The main trends in the change in the microflora of a multidisciplinary hospital as a whole are the prevalence of fungal and gram-negative pathogens over gram-positive ones. The presence of a relatively high index of consumpion of cephalosporins of 3–4 generations, fluoroquinolones, carbapenems, protected penicillins determines the high drug resistance index of Klebsiella pneumoniae (0.86) and characterizes the main microbiological trends of a multidisciplinary clinic.  Conclusion. Risk stratification by the level of multidrug-resistant pathogens, the use of deterrent strategies for prescribing antimicrobials, the implementation of educational modules, the evaluation of the effectiveness and monitoring of the risk stratification program with in the framework of antimicrobial technologies, the analysis of microbial landscape data using decision support programs are the main tasks of the functioning of a multidisciplinary team of specialists in a multidisciplinary clinic to control antibiotic resistance

    Dynamics of H atoms surface recombination in low-temperature plasma

    Full text link
    The dynamics of H atom recombination on materials of interest for a EUV lithographer was studied under a longterm low-pressure H2 plasma exposure. The similarity of the experimental plasma with the typical EUV-induced plasma over the multi-layer mirrors (MLMs) surface of the EUV lithographic machine is demonstrated by means of 2D PIC MC simulation. The measurement of the temporal dynamics of the H atom surface loss probability is chosen for testing the surface modification during the treatment. Time-resolved actinometry of H atoms with Kr as the actinometer gas was used to detect the dynamics of the H-atom loss probability on the surface of Al, Ru, RVS and SiO2. It is demonstrated that significant changes of the materials surface occur only at the very beginning of the treatment and ist due to the surface heating and cleaning effects. After that no changes of the H recombination rate are found, indicating that the surface stays absolutely stable. A special test of the sensitivity of the used method to the state of surface was carried out. Dynamics of the H recombination rate changes with the small O2 addition clearly demonstrated modification of the Al surface due to oxidation with the next removal of the oxygen by the H2 plasma treatment. The rate of oxide removal is shown to be determined by plasma parameters such as the ion energy and flux to the surface

    Theory of the Nernst effect near quantum phase transitions in condensed matter, and in dyonic black holes

    Full text link
    We present a general hydrodynamic theory of transport in the vicinity of superfluid-insulator transitions in two spatial dimensions described by "Lorentz"-invariant quantum critical points. We allow for a weak impurity scattering rate, a magnetic field B, and a deviation in the density, \rho, from that of the insulator. We show that the frequency-dependent thermal and electric linear response functions, including the Nernst coefficient, are fully determined by a single transport coefficient (a universal electrical conductivity), the impurity scattering rate, and a few thermodynamic state variables. With reasonable estimates for the parameters, our results predict a magnetic field and temperature dependence of the Nernst signal which resembles measurements in the cuprates, including the overall magnitude. Our theory predicts a "hydrodynamic cyclotron mode" which could be observable in ultrapure samples. We also present exact results for the zero frequency transport co-efficients of a supersymmetric conformal field theory (CFT), which is solvable by the AdS/CFT correspondence. This correspondence maps the \rho and B perturbations of the 2+1 dimensional CFT to electric and magnetic charges of a black hole in the 3+1 dimensional anti-de Sitter space. These exact results are found to be in full agreement with the general predictions of our hydrodynamic analysis in the appropriate limiting regime. The mapping of the hydrodynamic and AdS/CFT results under particle-vortex duality is also described.Comment: 44 pages, 4 figures; (v3) Added new subsection highlighting negative Hall resistance at hole densities smaller than 1/
