Incoherent midinfrared charge excitation and the high-energy anomaly in the photoemission spectra of cuprates
2007
On the basis of a semi-phenomenological model, it is argued that the high energy anomaly observed in recent photoemission experiments on cuprates is caused by interaction with an overdamped bosonic mode in the mid-infrared region of the spectrum. Analysis of optical conductivity allows to connect this excitation to the incoherent charge response reported for the majority of high Tc materials and some other perovskites. We show that its large damping is an essential feature responsible for the "waterfall" dispersion and linewidth of the spectral weight.
Exploring the graphene edges with coherent electron focusing
2010
We study theoretically the coherent electron focusing in graphene nanoribbons. Using semiclassical and numerical tight binding calculations we show that perfect armchair edges give rise to equidistant peaks in the focusing spectrum. In the case of zigzag edges at low magnetic fields one can also observe focusing peaks but with increasing magnetic field a more complex interference structure emerges in the spectrum. This difference in the spectra can be observed even if the zigzag edge undergoes structural reconstruction. Therefore transverse electron focusing can help in the identification and characterisation of the edge structure of graphene samples.
Energy spectrum, persistent current and electron localization in quantum rings
2003
Energy spectra of quasi-one-dimensional quantum rings with a few electrons are studied using several different theoretical methods. Discrete Hubbard models and continuum models are shown to give similar results governed by the special features of the one-dimensionality. The energy spectrum of the many-body system can be described with a rotation-vibration spectrum of a 'Wigner molecule' of 'localized' electrons, combined with the spin-state determined from an effective antiferromagnetic Heisenberg Hamiltonian. The persistent current as a function of magnetic flux through the ring shows periodic oscillations arising from the 'rigid rotation' of the electron ring. For polarized electrons the …
Experimental investigation of the breakdown of the Onsager-Casimir relations
2006
We use magnetoconductance fluctuation measurements of phase-coherent semiconductor billiards to quantify the contributions to the nonlinear electric conductance that are asymmetric under reversal of magnetic field. We experimentally determine that the average asymmetric contribution is linear in magnetic field (for magnetic flux much larger than one flux quantum) and that its magnitude depends on billiard geometry. In addition, we find an unexpected asymmetry in the power spectrum characteristics of the magnetoconductance with respect to reversal of magnetic field and bias voltage.
Many-body spectrum and particle localization in quantum dots and finite rotating Bose condensates
2001
The yrast spectra (i.e. the lowest states for a given total angular momentum) of quantum dots in strong magnetic fields, are studied in terms of exact numerical diagonalization and analytic trial wave functions. We argue that certain features (cusps) in the many-body spectrum can be understood in terms of particle localization due to the strong field. A new class of trial wavefunctions supports the picture of the electrons being localized in Wigner molecule-like states consisting of consecutive rings of electrons, with low-lying excitations corresponding to rigid rotation of the outer ring of electrons. The geometry of the Wigner molecule is independent of interparticle interactions and the…
Effect ofA-site andB-site substitution on the infrared reflectivity spectra ofLa1−yAyMn1−xBxO3(A=Ba,Sr;B=Cu,Zn,Sc;0<y<~0.3;0<~x<~0.1)mang…
2003
We have measured the infrared reflectivity spectra of ${\mathrm{La}}_{1\ensuremath{-}y}[\mathrm{Sr}(\mathrm{Ba}){]}_{y}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}[\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{Zn},\mathrm{Sc}){]}_{x}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ $(0lyl~0.3,0l~xl~0.10)$ manganites, in a wide frequency $(100\char21{}4000{\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}1})$ and temperature (80 K\char21{}300 K) range. The reflectivity spectra were analyzed by a fitting procedure based on a model that includes Drude, midinfrared electronic, and phonon oscillator contributions to the dielectric constant. Six infrared active ${(3A}_{u}$ and ${3E}_{u})$ modes of rhombohedral symmetry are clearly observed. We assigned all observed modes according to e…
Fate of the false Mott-Hubbard transition in two dimensions
2014
We have studied the impact of non-local electronic correlations at all length scales on the Mott-Hubbard metal-insulator transition in the unfrustrated two-dimensional Hubbard model. Combining dynamical vertex approximation, lattice quantum Monte-Carlo and variational cluster approximation, we demonstrate that scattering at long-range fluctuations, i.e., Slater-like paramagnons, opens a spectral gap at weak-to-intermediate coupling -- irrespectively of the preformation of localized or short-ranged magnetic moments. This is the reason, why the two-dimensional Hubbard model is insulating at low enough temperatures for any (finite) interaction and no Mott-Hubbard transition is observed.

Microscopic dynamics of molecular liquids and glasses: Role of orientations and translation-rotation coupling
2001
We investigate the dynamics of a fluid of dipolar hard spheres in its liquid and glassy phase, with emphasis on the microscopic time or frequency regime. This system shows rather different glass transition scenarios related to its rich equilibrium behavior which ranges from a simple hard sphere fluid to a long range ferroelectric orientational order. In the liquid phase close to the ideal glass transition line and in the glassy regime a medium range orientational order occurs leading to a softening of an orientational mode. To investigate the role of this mode we use the molecular mode-coupling equations to calculate the spectra $\phi_{lm}^{\prime \prime}(q,\omega)$ and $\chi _{lm}''(q,\ome…
Phonon properties of the spinel oxideMgTi2O4with theS=1/2pyrochlore lattice
2003
We study the phonon dynamics of ${\mathrm{MgTi}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}$ spinel by measuring the Raman and infrared reflectivity spectra in a wide frequency $(100--3000{\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}1})$ and temperature (10 K--300 K) range. The reflectivity spectra are analyzed by a fitting procedure based on a model which includes both Drude and phonon oscillator contributions to the dielectric constant. The phonon assignment is done from comparison between experimental data and shell model lattice dynamical calculations. We find two infrared-active ${F}_{1u}$ symmetry modes superimposed on the free carrier continuum, and four Raman-active modes of ${1A}_{1g},$ ${1E}_{g},$ and ${2F}_{2g}$ symme…
