Microscopic model for multiple flux transitions in mesoscopic superconducting loops
2006
A microscopic model is constructed which is able to describe multiple magnetic flux transitions as observed in recent ultra-low temperature tunnel experiments on an aluminum superconducting ring with normal metal - insulator - superconductor junctions [Phys. Rev. B \textbf{70}, 064514 (2004)]. The unusual multiple flux quantum transitions are explained by the formation of metastable states with large vorticity. Essential in our description is the modification of the pairing potential and the superconducting density of states by a sub-critical value of the persistent current which modulates the measured tunnel current. We also speculate on the importance of the injected non-equilibrium quasi…
New features in systematics of low-spin states in even106?120Cd
1990
Low- spin states in even106–112Cd and116Cd were investigated by in-beam and off-beam γ-ray and conversion electron spectroscopy. New spin assignments and decay branching ratios for the levels in106Cd,108Cd and110Cd were obtained. From the new systematical data for the even106–120Cd, it is inferred that two sets of low-lying 0+ states cross between114Cd and116Cd. One of these sets appears to have features of both intruder and two-quadrupole-phonon states.
Spin Crossover, Liesst, and Niesst-Fascinating Electronic Games in Iron Complexes
1997
Abstract Coordination compounds of transition metal ions with open-shell electron configurations may exhibit dynamic electronic structure phenomena depending on the nature of the coordinating ligand sphere. The change of spin state with temperature (thermal spin crossover”) and light-induced electron transfer processes leading to long-lived metastable states are among the most fascinating electronic games encountered in transition metal compounds and are presently under intensive study by chemists and physicists. The first part of this lecture will survey briefly some highlights of previous work and present recent results on thermal spin crossover in iron(II) compounds. The second part of t…
Towards a nonequilibrium thermodynamic description of incoherent nonlinear optics
2007
pa href="http://oe.osa.org/virtual_issue.cfm?vid=36"Focus Serial: Frontiers of Nonlinear Optics/a/pThis concise review is aimed at providing an introduction to the kinetic theory of partially coherent optical waves propagating in nonlinear media. The subject of incoherent nonlinear optics received a renewed interest since the first experimental demonstration of incoherent solitons in slowly responding photorefractive crystals. Several theories have been successfully developed to provide a detailed description of the novel dynamical features inherent to partially coherent nonlinear optical waves. However, such theories leave unanswered the following important question: Which is the long term…
Element-specific magnetic moments and spin-resolved density of states in CoFeMnZ(Z=Al, Ga; Si, Ge)
2011
Using circular dichroism in x-ray-absorption spectroscopy (XAS/XMCD), we determined element-specific magnetic moments and spin-resolved unoccupied densities of states (DOS) for Co, Fe, and Mn in the quaternary Heusler compounds CoFeMn$Z$ ($Z=\text{Al}$, Ga; Si, Ge). These compounds belong to a class of highly spin-polarized materials with cubic LiMgPdSn-type structure. Different structure models for the sublattice occupation leading to similar average magnetization values can be distinguished by comparison of element-specific moments with theory. We find that the compounds form similar structures, where Co, Fe, Mn, and $Z$ occupy the $X$, ${X}^{\ensuremath{'}}$, $Y$, and $Z$ sublattice of t…
Catastrophic process of coherence degradation
2018
We predict a catastrophic process of coherence degradation characterized by a virtually unlimited spectral broadening of the waves. This effect is described by self-similar solutions of the kinetic equations inherent to the wave turbulence theory.
Dipole soliton-vortices
2007
On universal symmetry grounds, we analyze the existence of a new type of discrete-symmetry vortex solitons that can be considered as coherent states of dipole solitons carrying a nonzero topological charge. Remarkably, they can be also interpreted as excited angular Bloch states. The stability of new soliton states is elucidated numerically.
Comparative analysis of spectral coherence in microresonator frequency combs
2014
Microresonator combs exploit parametric oscillation and nonlinear mixing in an ultrahigh-Q cavity. This new comb generator offers unique potential for chip integration and access to high repetition rates. However, time-domain studies reveal an intricate spectral coherence behavior in this type of platform. In particular, coherent, partially coherent or incoherent combs have been observed using the same microresonator under different pumping conditions. In this work, we provide a numerical analysis of the coherence dynamics that supports the above experimental findings and verify particular design rules to achieve spectrally coherent microresonator combs. A particular emphasis is placed in u…
Su(4) approach to fourfold degenerate electronic states of some hexafluoride molecules
2003
Abstract We show that two appropriate realizations of the su (4) algebra allow the construction of all electronic operators needed for the study of vibronic and rovibronic interactions in a G ′ electronic state. In each case a full bosonic realization is made and all matrix elements are calculated. Illustrations of our formalism and comparisons with previous approaches are made in the case of ν 5 ( F 2 g ) and ν 3 ( F 1 u ) modes.
Asymmetric Conductivity of Strongly Correlated Compounds
2014
In this chapter, we show that the FC solutions for distribution function \(n_0(\mathbf{p})\) generate NFL behavior, and violate the particle-hole symmetry inherent in LFL. This, in turn, yields dramatic changes in transport properties of HF metals, particularly, the differential conductivity becomes asymmetric. As it is demonstrated in Sect. 3.1, Fermi quasiparticles can behave as Bose one. Such a state is viewed as possessing the supersymmetry (SUSY) that interchanges bosons and fermions eliminating the difference between them. In the case of asymmetrical conductivity it is the emerging SUSY that violates the time invariance symmetry. Thus, restoring one important symmetry, the FC state vi…
