Plasma Electron Kinetics and Distribution Functions in Laser Fields
2010
A concise review of the properties of electron distribution functions in a fully ionized plasma in the presence of a high-frequency laser field is presented. In detail is discussed the physical origin of most of the reported results in the case of strong fields. The presence of a laser field, through the inverse bremsstrahlung absorption, alters dynamically the roles of and the interplay between electron-ion and electron-electron collisions shaping the distribution function. Special attention is paid to the role of e-e collisions in the process of laser-plasma interaction.
Correlation in the transition-metal-based Heusler compoundsCo2MnSiandCo2FeSi
2006
Half-metallic ferromagnets, such as the Heusler compounds with formula ${X}_{2}YZ$, are expected to show an integer value for the spin magnetic moment. In contrast to experiments, calculations give noninteger values in certain cases where the compounds are based on $X=\mathrm{Co}$. In order to explain deviations of the magnetic moment calculated for such compounds, the dependence of the electronic structure on the lattice parameter was studied theoretically. In the local density approximation (LDA), the minimum total energy of ${\mathrm{Co}}_{2}\mathrm{FeSi}$ is found for the experimental lattice parameter, but the calculated magnetic moment is approximately 12% too low. In addition, half-m…
Translationally invariant coupled cluster method in coordinate space for nuclei
2002
We study a formulation of the translationally invariant coupled cluster method in coordinate space for finite nuclei. The new formulation remedies convergence problems that plagued previous calculations in configuration space. The method is applied to light nuclei using semi-realistic central interactions.
Calculated Line Broadening Coefficients in the nu2 Band of CH3D Perturbed by Helium
2003
International audience; Line broadening coefficients have been calculated, at room temperature, for lines in the P and R branches of the nu2 band of monodeuterated methane. A properly symmetrized semiclassical model with parabolic relative trajectories has been used. Two interaction potential models have been considered. The first is a Lennard-Jones type atom-atom potential, while the second one was derived from ab initio calculations. The calculated line widths were compared to the available experimental data and a satisfactory agreement was found, although the model contains no other adjustable parameters than the four atomic Lennard-Jones ones. Nonetheless, failures of calculations have …
Weak Interactions at Low Energy
1985
In this series of lectures, I would like to discuss the basic aspects of the standard electroweak theory, as well as some alternatives. The phenomenology associated with charged and neutral currents weak interaction will show the success of the standard theory in giving a quantitative account of the existing data. The framework of most of our considerations will be that of an effective theory at low momentum transfer, low with respect to the masses of the intermediate vector bosons, 80–90 GeV. As an extension of the standard theory for the leptonic sector, I will contemplate the possibility of massive neutrinos being described by Majorana fields, leading to exotic phenomena induced by lepto…
Dynamics of topological spin structures
2015
Topological spin structures that emerge from the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), such as chiral domain walls and skyrmions have become the focus of intense investigations due to exciting physics and possible applications [1].
Spin projected unrestricted Hartree-Fock ground states for harmonic quantum dots
2008
We report results for the ground state energies and wave functions obtained by projecting spatially unrestricted Hartree Fock states to eigenstates of the total spin and the angular momentum for harmonic quantum dots with $N\leq 12$ interacting electrons including a magnetic field states with the correct spatial and spin symmetries have lower energies than those obtained by the unrestricted method. The chemical potential as a function of a perpendicular magnetic field is obtained. Signature of an intrinsic spin blockade effect is found.
Classical Heisenberg antiferromagnets with nearest and next-nearest neighbor interactions on the face-centered cubic lattice: a model for EuTe?
1989
Magnetic properties of the Heisenberg antiferromagnet with spin quantum numberS→∞ on the face-centered cubic lattice are studied as function of temperature and magnetic field, using molecular field approximation and Monte Carlo methods. In order to model Europiumtelluride, we use isotropic exchange interactions between nearest- and nextnearest neighbors; the values of these exchange constants are taken from experiments. In addition, a pseudo-dipolar anisotropy (truncated after the next-nearest neighbor distance) is included; the molecular field calculations also are performed with the full dipolar of real EuTe in two respects: the structure in zero magnetic field involves 8 sublattices in t…
Carrier-induced ferromagnetism in two-dimensional magnetically doped semiconductor structures
2021
We show theoretically that the magnetic ions, randomly distributed in a two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor system, can generate a ferromagnetic long-range order via the RKKY interaction. The main physical reason is the discrete (rather than continuous) symmetry of the 2D Ising model of the spin-spin interaction mediated by the spin-orbit coupling of 2D free carriers, which precludes the validity of the Mermin-Wagner theorem. Further, the analysis clearly illustrates the crucial role of the molecular field fluctuations as opposed to the mean field. The developed theoretical model describes the desired magnetization and phase-transition temperature ${T}_{c}$ in terms of a single parameter, na…
Jastrow-Correlated Configuration-Interaction Description of Light Nuclei
1999
This work describes recent progress of the UMIST-VALENCIA collaboration on the ab initio study of ground states of light nuclei using realistic forces. The method presented here constructs trial variational wave functions by superimposing a central Jastrow correlation on a state-dependent translationally invariant linearly correlated state, with very promising results.
