Ferromagnetic transition in a double-exchange system containing impurities in the Dynamical Mean Field Approximation

We formulate the Dynamical Mean Field Approximation equations for the double-exchange system with quenched disorder for arbitrary relation between Hund exchange coupling and electron band width. Close to the ferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition point the DMFA equations can be reduced to the ordinary mean field equation of Curie-Weiss type. We solve the equation to find the transition temperature and present the magnetic phase diagram of the system.Comment: 5 pages, latex, 2 eps figures. We explicitely present the magnetic phase diagram of the syste

The Development of Global Science.

How do we build research capacity throughout the world and capture the great human potential? To us, the answer is rather straightforward: the time-honored tradition of scientific mentoring must be practiced on a wider scale across borders. Herein, we detail the necessity for expanding mentorship to a global scale and provide several important principles to be considered when designing, planning, and implementing programs and centers of research around the world

Carrier States and Ferromagnetism in Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors

Applying the dynamical coherent potential approximation to a simple model, we have systematically studied the carrier states in $A_{1-x}$Mn$_xB$-type diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS's). The model calculation was performed for three typical cases of DMS's: The cases with strong and moderate exchange interactions in the absence of nonmagnetic potentials, and the case with strong attractive nonmagnetic potentials in addition to moderate exchange interaction. When the exchange interaction is sufficiently strong, magnetic impurity bands split from the host band. Carriers in the magnetic impurity band mainly stay at magnetic sites, and coupling between the carrier spin and the localized spin is very strong. The hopping of the carriers among the magnetic sites causes ferromagnetism through a {\it double-exchange (DE)-like} mechanism. We have investigated the condition for the DE-like mechanism to operate in DMS's. The result reveals that the nonmagnetic attractive potential at the magnetic site assists the formation of the magnetic impurity band and makes the DE-like mechanism operative by substantially enhancing the effect of the exchange interaction. Using conventional parameters we have studied the carrier states in Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$As. The result shows that the ferromagnetism is caused through the DE-like mechanism by the carriers in the bandtail originating from the impurity states.Comment: 20 pages, 14 figure

Critical Exponents of the Metal-Insulator Transition in the Two-Dimensional Hubbard Model

We study the filling-controlled metal-insulator transition in the two-dimensional Hubbard model near half-filling with the use of zero temperature quantum Monte Carlo methods. In the metallic phase, the compressibility behaves as $\kappa \propto |\mu - \mu_c|^{-0.58\pm0.08}$ where $\mu_c$ is the critical chemical potential. In the insulating phase, the localization length follows $\xi_l \propto |\mu - \mu_c|^{-\nu_l}$ with $\nu_l = 0.26 \pm 0.05$. Under the assumption of hyperscaling, the compressibility data leads to a correlation length exponent $\nu_\kappa = 0.21 \pm 0.04$. Our results show that the exponents $\nu_\kappa$ and $\nu_l$ agree within statistical uncertainty. This confirms the assumption of hyperscaling with correlation length exponent $\nu = 1/4$ and dynamical exponent $z = 4$. In contrast the metal-insulator transition in the generic band insulators in all dimensions as well as in the one-dimensional Hubbard model satisfy the hyperscaling assumption with exponents $\nu = 1/2$ and $z = 2$.Comment: Two references added.
