抛物量子点中弱耦合磁极化子的性质

应用线性组合算符和幺正变换方法研究了抛物量子点中磁极化子的基态性质。得出基态能和基态束缚能随有效束缚强度增大而减小,随回旋频率增大而增大。当有效柬缚强度给定,基态能量随电子-体纵光学声子耦合强度增加而减小。当有效束缚强度l0>0.3时,电子-体纵光学声子耦合强度的变化对量子点中弱耦合磁极化子的基态能量的影响变得显著。当有效束缚强度l0<0.3时,电子-体纵光学声子耦合强度的变化对基态能量影响很小。由于有效束缚强度与量子点受限强度的平方根成反比,所以量子点受限越强,基态能量、基态束缚能越大,电子一体纵光学声子耦合强度和磁场的变化对量子点的影响相对越小;当量子点受限变弱时,电子-声子耦合强度变化对量子点的影响变大,磁场对量子点的影响也变大,所以在量子点中,极化子对量子点的影响不容忽略。

Role of inter-site exchange and hybrid interactions in itinerant ferromagnetism

In this work, we study the magnetic properties of itinerant electron systems using the Hubbard-like tight binding Hamiltonian along with inter-site exchange and hybrid interactions. We have used the mean-field approximation to deal with the exchange and hybrid interactions. It is found that hybrid interaction is more effective than exchange interaction for the on-set of ferromagnetic state. We have studied the effect of hybrid interaction on various physical quantities at different temperatures. The effective mass (m*/m) of up spin electrons increases slowly as the temperature decreases but below the critical temperature (T_c), it decreases rapidly. For down spin electrons effective mass increases slowly as the temperature decreases and below T_c, it increases more rapidly. Spectral weight (n/m*) for up spin electrons decreases slowly upto T_c and below T_c, it increases rapidly. For down spin electrons spectral weight decreases slowly upto T_c and below T_c, it decreases rapidly. Our results for both the effective mass and spectral weight are in good agreement with recently observed experimental behaviour in itinerant ferromagnet Ga_1−xMn_xAs [Phys. Rev. Lett. 89 (2002) 097203]. We have also studied variation of the spectral weight and optical absorption with temperature in presence of magnetic field. We found that these two quantities for up spin electrons increase as applied magnetic field increases at all temperatures (∼4T_c). For down spin electrons these two quantities decrease as applied magnetic field increases.     

Strong coupling in the Kondo problem in the low-temperature region

The magnetic field dependence of the average spin of a localized electron coupled to conduction electrons with an antiferromangetic exchange interaction is found for the ground state. In the magnetic field range μH∼0.5T _c (T _c is the Kondo temperature) there is an inflection point, and in the strong magnetic field range μH≫T _c , the correction to the average spin is proportional to (T _c /μ H)². In zero magnetic field, the interaction with conduction electrons also leads to the splitting of doubly degenerate spin impurity states. Zh. éksp. Teor.

The large polaron in a magnetic field: Possible existence of a phase transition

It is shown that the ground state energy of a polaron in a magnetic field (calculated in the Feynman approximation) exhibits a discontinuity in the first derivative with respect to α (the electron-phonon coupling constant) if ω_c/ω_o (cyclotron frequency to LO-phonon frequency) is larger than 2.24. This discontinuity has the characteristics of a first order phase transition if α is interpreted as an inverse temperature. For ω_c/ω_o = 2.24 the transition is second order. We found that below the transition point the phonon cloud cannot follow the electron in its motion in the magnetic field.     

Low-temperature transport properties of chemical solution deposited polycrystalline La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 ferromagnetic films under a magnetic field

Polycrystalline La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ (LSMO) films were prepared on SiO₂/Si (001) substrates by chemical solution deposition technique. Electrical and magnetic properties of LSMO were investigated. A minimum phenomenon in resistivity is found at the low temperature (<50 K) under magnetic fields from 0 T to 3 T. Kondo-like spin dependent scattering, which includes both spin polarization and grain boundary tunneling, was observed in the low-temperature electrical transport for the LSMO polycrystalline films. The temperature-dependent resistivity at low temperatures can be well fitted in the framework of elastic scattering, electron-electron (e-e) interaction, Kondo-like spin dependent scattering, and electron-phonon (e-ph) interaction.     

Spin susceptibility in small Fermi energy systems: effects of nonmagnetic impurities

In small Fermi energy metals, disorder can deeply modify superconducting state properties leading to a strong suppression of the critical temperature T_c. In this paper, we show that also normal state properties can be seriously influenced by disorder when the Fermi energy E _F is sufficiently small. We calculate the normal state spin susceptibility χ for a narrow band electron-phonon coupled metal as a function of the non-magnetic impurity scattering rate . We find that as soon as is comparable to E _F, χ is strongly reduced with respect to its value in the clean limit. The effects of the electron-phonon interaction including the nonadiabatic corrections are discussed. Our results strongly suggest that the recent finding on irradiated MgB₂ samples can be naturally explained in terms of small E _F values associated with the σ-bands of the boron plane, sustaining therefore the hypothesis that MgB₂ is a nonadiabatic metal.

Properties of strong-coupling magneto-bipolaron qubit in quantum dot under magnetic field

Based on the variational method of Pekar type, we study the energies and the wave-functions of the ground and the first-excited states of magneto-bipolaron, which is strongly coupled to the LO phonon in a parabolic potential quantum dot under an applied magnetic field, thus built up a quantum dot magneto-bipolaron qubit. The results show that the oscillation period of the probability density of the two electrons in the qubit decreases with increasing electron–phonon coupling strength α, resonant frequency of the magnetic field ω_c, confinement strength of the quantum dot ω_0, and dielectric constant ratio of the medium η; the probability density of the two electrons in the qubit oscillates periodically with increasing time t, angular coordinate φ_2, and dielectric constant ratio of the medium η; the probability of electron appearing near the center of the quantum dot is larger, and the probability of electron appearing away from the center of the quantum dot is much smaller.     

Synchrotron radiation from relativistic electrons in intense magnetic fields

The synchrotron radiation spectrum is calculated for relativistic electrons in the case where no restriction is placed on the strength of the magnetic field. It is shown that in intense fields H? H₀ = m²c³/e₀? =4.41 · 10¹³ G a major contribution to the total radiation intensity comes from transitions to the ground state and also to weakly excited levels. In particular, the contribution from transitions to the ground state (final electron energy E' =mc²) for electrons of initial energy E = 10 MeV in a field H = 2H₀ is 14% of the contribution from transitions to highly excited states (E'?mc²).     

Intersubband resonance polarons in Al/δ-GaAs tunneling junctions

Tunneling spectra of the A1/δ-GaAs junctions fabricated by molecular-beam epitaxy in the regime of “intimate” contact of A1 with GaAs (100) were studied at 1.6 K in a magnetic field B parallel to the two-dimensional electron-gas layer. The concentration of 2D electrons in the δ-layer grown at a distance of 20 nm from the A1/GaAs interface was 1.1 × 10¹² cm^?2 and corresponded to a partial filling of only the lowest subband E ₀. The tunneling spectra exhibited many-particle features, viz., a zero-bias anomaly, lines of longitudinal optical (LO) phonons, and characteristic “dips” corresponding to the energies E _i of the 2D subbands. In the B fields below the critical value B _c ?11 T, the levels of 2D subbands underwent the usual diamagnetic shifts. At B≥B _c , the E ₁ (B) term pinning and the anticrossing of the E ₁(B) and E ₀(B)+2?ω_LO terms were observed, where ?ω_LO is the LO-phonon energy in GaAs. The observed effects are interpreted as manifestations of resonance intersubband polarons arising in the δ-layer upon reaching the E ₁(B _c )?E ₀(B _c )=2?ω_LO resonance.     

‘Hot phonon’ contribution to Urbach's tails in semiconductors

We consider electron-hole recombination in semiconductors under high injection levels of electrons and holes interacting with ‘hot LO-phonons’. It is shown that the increasing value of E₀, an energy parameter which characterizes the exponential low energy edge in the luminescence spectra, with laser light intensity is the result of the increasing concentration of phonons in excess of equilibrium. Dependence of E₀ with the effective temperature T¹ of the phonons is given. Furthermore, it is shown that the electron-phonon interaction also contributes to the shift of the spectra towards lower energies.
