Transition between Quantum States in a Parallel-Coupled Double-Quantum-Dot
Strong electron and spin correlations in a double-quantum-dot (DQD) can give rise to different quantum states.

Spin-phonon interaction and band effects in the high-T_C superconductor HgBa_2CuO_4
Band calculations show that a stripe-like anti-ferromagnetic spin wave is enforced by a 'half-breathing' phonon distortion within the CuO plane of HgBa_2CuO_4. This spin-phonon coupling is increased further by shear distortion and by increased distance between Cu and apical oxygens. The effects from spin-phonon couplin...

We study electronic transport through quantum dots weakly coupled to ferromagnetic leads with collinear magnetization directions. Tunneling contributions of first and second order in the tunnel-coupling strength are taken into account. We analyze the tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) for all combinations of linear and non...

Kondo Resonance Decoherence by an External Potential
The Kondo problem, for a quantum dot (QD), subjected to an external bias, is analyzed in the limit of infinite Coulomb repulsion by using a consistent equations of motion method based on a slave-boson Hamiltonian. Utilizing a strict perturbative solution in the leads-dot coupling, T, to T^4 and T^6 orders, we calculate...

Internal space renormalization group for the Luttinger model
The absence of fermionic, asymptotical one-particle states in the Luttinger model raises the suspicion that the interactions are actually strong at the vicinity of the Fermi points. The functional internal space renormalization group method, a systematical scheme for the computation of effective coupling strengths off ...

Electrostatic Interactions in Strongly-Coupled Soft Matter
Charged soft-matter systems--such as colloidal dispersions and charged polymers--are dominated by attractive forces between constituent like-charged particles when neutralizing counterions of high charge valency are introduced. Such counter-intuitive effects indicate strong electrostatic coupling between like-charged p...

Numerical Studies of the Compressible Ising Spin Glass
We study a two-dimensional compressible Ising spin glass at constant volume. The spin interactions are coupled to the distance between neighboring particles in the Edwards-Anderson model with +/- J interactions. We find that the energy of a given spin configuration is shifted from its incompressible value, E_0, by an a...

Quantum transport phenomena in disordered electron systems with spin-orbit coupling in two dimensions and below
Electron transport phenomena in disordered electron systems with spin-orbit coupling in two dimensions and below are studied numerically. The scaling hypothesis is checked by analyzing the scaling of the quasi-1D localization length. A logarithmic increase of the mean conductance is also confirmed. These support the th...

Magnetic properties of antiferromagnetically coupled CoFeB/Ru/CoFeB
This work reports on the thermal stability of two amorphous CoFeB layers coupled antiferromagnetically via a thin Ru interlayer. The saturation field of the artificial ferrimagnet which is determined by the coupling, J, is almost independent on the annealing temperature up to more than 300 degree C. An annealing at mor...

Thermoelectric effects in strongly interacting quantum dot coupled to ferromagnetic leads
We study thermoelectric effects in Kondo correlated quantum dot coupled to ferromagnetic electrodes by calculating conductance, thermopower and thermal conductance in the Kondo regime. We also study the effect of the asymmetry in the coupling to the leads, which has important consequences for anti-parallel magnetizatio...

Magnetodielectric effect without multiferroic coupling
The existence of a magnetodielectric (magnetocapacitance) effect is often used as a test for multiferroic behavior in new material systems. However, strong magnetodielectric effects can also be achieved through a combination of magnetoresistance and the Maxwell-Wagner effect, unrelated to multiferroic coupling. The fac...

Dynamics and thermodynamics of rotators interacting with both long and short range couplings
The effect of nearest-neighbor coupling on the thermodynamic and dynamical properties of the ferromagnetic Hamiltonian Mean Field model (HMF) is studied. For a range of antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor coupling, a canonical first order transition is observed, and the canonical and microcanonical ensembles are non-equ...

Infrared absorption and Raman scattering on coupled plasmon--phonon modes in superlattices
We consider theoretically a superlattice formed by thin conducting layers separated spatially between insulating layers. The dispersion of two coupled phonon-plasmon modes of the system is analyzed by using Maxwell's equations, with the influence of retardation included. Both transmission for the finite plate as well a...

Electron-phonon coupling and spin-charge separation in one-dimensional Mott insulators
We examine the single-particle excitation spectrum in the one-dimensional Hubbard-Holstein model at half-filling by performing the dynamical density matrix renormalization group (DDMRG) calculation. The DDMRG results are interpreted as superposition of spectra for a spinless carrier dressed with phonons. The superposit...

Effect of the intrinsic Josephson coupling on the pancake lattice in layered superconductors
We study the pancake lattice system induced by application of transverse magnetic filed to the layered superconductor. A simple statistical field theory for the pancake lattice is derived. It incorporates effects of the magnetic interaction between pancakes as well as those of the interlayer Josephson coupling. The pro...

Non-equilibrium triplet blockade in parallel coupled quantum dots
It is demonstrated that parallel weakly coupled quantum dots exhibit non-equilibrium blockade regimes caused by a full occupation in the spin triplet state, in analogy to the Pauli spin blockade in serially weakly coupled quantum dots. Charge tends to accumulate in the two-electron triplet for bias voltages that suppor...

Magnetization plateaux induced by a coupling to the lattice
We investigate a simple model of a frustrated spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain coupled to adiabatic phonons under an external magnetic field. Using field theoretic methods complemented by extensive Density Matrix Renormalisation Group techniques generalized to include self-consistent lattice distortions, we show that magnetiz...

Entanglement production in chaotic quantum dots subject to spin-orbit coupling
We study numerically the production of orbital and spin entangled states in chaotic quantum dots for non-interacting electrons. The introduction of spin-orbit coupling permit us to identify signatures of time-reversal symmetry correlations in the entanglement production previously unnoticed, resembling weak-(anti)local...

Stable isochronal synchronization of mutually coupled chaotic lasers
The dynamics of two mutually coupled chaotic diode lasers are investigated experimentally and numerically. By adding self feedback to each laser, stable isochronal synchronization is established. This stability, which can be achieved for symmetric operation, is essential for constructing an optical public-channel crypt...

Piezoelectric coupling, phonons, and tunneling into a quantum Hall edge
We show that the piezoelectric coupling to three-dimensional phonons in GaAs renormalizes the current-voltage exponent for tunneling of electrons into an incompressible quantum Hall edge. The leading correction is always negative, in agreement with experiments on the $\nu = 1/3$ state and, depending on the precise valu...

Effects of multiplicative noises on synchronization in finite $N$-unit stochastic ensembles: Augmented moment approach
We have studied the synchronization in finite $N$-unit FitzHugh-Nagumo neuron ensembles subjected to additive and multiplicative noises, by using the augmented moment method (AMM) which is reformulated with the use of the Fokker-Planck equation. It has been shown that for diffusive couplings, the synchronization may be...
