Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless Transition in Spin-Charge Separated Superconductor
A model for spin-charge separated superconductivity in two dimensions is
introduced where the phases of the spinon and holon order parameters couple
gauge-invariantly to a statistical gauge-field representing chiral
spin-fluctuations. The model is analyzed in the continuum limit and in the
low-temperature limit. In both cases we find that physical electronic phase
correlations show a superconducting-normal phase transition of the
Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless type, while statistical gauge-field excitations
are found to be strictly gapless. The normal-to-superconductor phase boundary
for this model is also obtained as a function of carrier density, where we find
that its shape compares favorably with that of the experimentally observed
phase diagram for the oxide superconductors.Comment: 35 pages, TeX, CSLA-P-93-
Fermion Analogy for Layered Superconducting Films in Parallel Magnetic Field
The equivalence between the Lawrence-Doniach model for films of extreme
type-II layered superconductors and a generalization of the back-scattering
model for spin-1/2 electrons in one dimension is demonstrated. This fermion
analogy is then exploited to obtain an anomalous tail for
the parallel equilibrium magnetization of the minimal double layer case in the
limit of high parallel magnetic fields for temperatures in the
critical regime.Comment: 11 pages of plain TeX, 1 postscript figur

Crosstalk Correction in Atomic Force Microscopy
Commercial atomic force microscopes usually use a four-segmented photodiode
to detect the motion of the cantilever via laser beam deflection. This read-out
technique enables to measure bending and torsion of the cantilever separately.
A slight angle between the orientation of the photodiode and the plane of the
readout beam, however, causes false signals in both readout channels, so-called
crosstalk, that may lead to misinterpretation of the acquired data. We
demonstrate this fault with images recorded in contact mode on ferroelectric
crystals and present an electronic circuit to compensate for it, thereby
enabling crosstalk-free imaging
The Higgs decay rate to two photons in a model with two fermiophobic-Higgs doublets
We consider a three Higgs doublet model with an symmetry in which
beside the SM-like doublet there are two fermiophobic doublets. Due to the new
charged scalars there is an enhancement in the two-photon decay while the other
channels have the same decay widths that the SM neutral Higgs. The fermiophobic
scalars are mass degenerated unless soft terms breaking the symmetry are
added.Comment: typos were corrected, the figures have been modified and the
conclusions were increased. Still contains 15 pages, 2 figure
Low ordered magnetic moment by off-diagonal frustration in undoped parent compounds to iron-based high-Tc superconductors
A Heisenberg model over the square lattice recently introduced by Si and
Abrahams to describe local-moment magnetism in the new class of Fe-As high-Tc
superconductors is analyzed in the classical limit and on a small cluster by
exact diagonalization. In the case of spin-1 iron atoms, large enough
Heisenberg exchange interactions between neighboring spin-1/2 moments on
different iron 3d orbitals that frustrate true magnetic order lead to hidden
magnetic order that violates Hund's rule. It accounts for the low ordered
magnetic moment observed by elastic neutron diffraction in an undoped parent
compound to Fe-As superconductors. We predict that low-energy spin-wave
excitations exist at wavenumbers corresponding to either hidden Neel or hidden
ferromagnetic order.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, version published in Physical Review Letter
