Temperature Induced Spin Density Wave in Magnetic Doped Topological Insulators
We study the magnetic properties of topological insulators doped with
isoelectronic magnetic impurities. We obtain that at zero temperature the
impurities order ferromagnetically, but when raising the temperature the
topological insulator undergoes a first order phase transition to a spin
density wave phase before the system reaches the paramagnetic phase. The origin
of this phase is the non-trivial dependence of the topological insulator spin
susceptibility on the momentum. We analyze the coupling of the non-uniform
magnetic phase with the Dirac electronic system that occurs at the surfaces of
the topological insulators.Comment: 7 pages. Major changes. the message has been revised and expande
Langevin dynamics in crossed magnetic and electric fields: Hall and diamagnetic fluctuations
Based on the classical Langevin equation, we have re-visited the problem of
orbital motion of a charged particle in two dimensions for a normal magnetic
field crossed with or without an in-plane electric bias. We are led to two
interesting fluctuation effects: First, we obtain not only a longitudinal
"work-fluctuation" relation as expected for a barotropic type system, but also
a transverse work-fluctuation relation perpendicular to the electric bias. This
"Hall fluctuation" involves the product of the electric and the magnetic
fields. And second, for the case of harmonic confinement without bias, the
calculated probability density for the orbital magnetic moment gives non-zero
even moments, not derivable as field derivatives of the classical free energy.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, revised versio
Interdimensional degeneracies for a quantum -body system in dimensions
Complete spectrum of exact interdimensional degeneracies for a quantum
-body system in -dimensions is presented by the method of generalized
spherical harmonic polynomials. In an -body system all the states with
angular momentum in dimensions are degenerate where
and are given and is an arbitrary integer if the representation
exists for the SO() group and . There is an
exceptional interdimensional degeneracy for an -body system between the
state with zero angular momentum in dimensions and the state with zero
angular momentum in dimensions.Comment: 8 pages, no figure, RevTex, Accepted by EuroPhys.Let
Yet another surprise in the problem of classical diamagnetism
The well known Bohr-van Leeuwen Theorem states that the orbital diamagnetism
of classical charged particles is identically zero in equilibrium. However,
results based on real space-time approach using the classical Langevin equation
predicts non-zero diamagnetism for classical unbounded (finite or infinite)
systems. Here we show that the recently discovered Fluctuation Theorems,
namely, the Jarzynski Equality or the Crooks Fluctuation Theorem surprisingly
predict a free energy that depends on magnetic field as well as on the friction
coefficient, in outright contradiction to the canonical equilibrium results.
However, in the cases where the Langevin approach is consistent with the
equilibrium results, the Fluctuation Theorems lead to results in conformity
with equilibrium statistical mechanics. The latter is demonstrated analytically
through a simple example that has been discussed recently.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure
Comparison of Heritability Estimates from Daughter on Dam Regression with Three Models to Account for Production Level of Dam
Three models were used to estimate heritabilities for milk yields at different production levels and for different years as twice the regression of daughter residual effects on dam residual effects. The denominator is the residual mean square for dams. The numerator is the difference between the residual term for sum of dam\u27s and daughter\u27s records and sum of residual terms for records of dams and daughters. Model 1 included sire of daughter and herd-year-season of daughters only. Model 2 included sire of daughter, herd-year-season of dam, and herd-year-season of daughter. Model 3 included sire of daughter and herdyear- season of dam and herd-year-season of daughter combination. The weighted mean estimates for each method were, respectively, .35, .38, .38 for milk production and .61, .67, .67 for fat test. Yearly time trends in heritability were slightly positive for both milk production and fat test. Standard errors of heritability estimates from model 1 were 40 to 50% smaller than those from models 2 and 3 due to the smaller number of effects in the model. Estimates for model 2 from low to high production levels averaged .30, .38, .38, and .42 for milk yield and .64, .68, .67, and .71 for fat test
