    Theory of Lee-Naughton-Lebed\u27s Oscillations in Moderately Strong Electric Fields in Layered Quasi-One-Dimensional Conductors

    No full text
    In framework of some extension of the quasi-classical Boltzmann kinetic equation, we show that a moderately strong electric field splits the so-called Lee-Naughton-Lebed\u27s magnetoconductivity maxima in a layered quasi-one-dimensional conductor, if we use some reasonable approximation to the equation. By means of the above mentioned approximation, we obtain analytical formula for conductivity in high magnetic and moderately high electric fields and show that it coincides with the hypothetical formula as well as adequately describes the pioneering experimental data by Kobayashi et al. [K. Kobayashi, M. Saito, E. Omichi, and T. Osada, Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{96}, 126601 (2006)].1 figur

    Gravity at Finite Temperature, Equivalence Principle, and Local Lorentz Invariance

    No full text
    In this Chapter we illustrate the close connection between the violation of the weak equivalence principle typical of gravitational interactions at finite temperature, and similar violations induced by a breaking of the local Lorentz symmetry. We also discuss the physical implications of the effective repulsive forces possibly arising in such a generalized gravitational context, by considering, for an illustrative purpose, a quasi-Riemannian model of gravity with rotational symmetry as the local gauge group in tangent space

    Quantum limit in a quasi-one-dimensional conductor in a high tilted magnetic field

    No full text
    Recently, we have suggested Fermi-liquid-non-Fermi-liquid angular crossovers that may exist in quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) conductors in high tilted magnetic fields (see A. G. Lebed, Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 157001 (2015)). All calculations in the Letter were done by using the quasiclassical Peierls substitution method, whose applicability in high magnetic fields was questionable. Here, we solve a fully quantum mechanical problem and show that the main qualitative conclusions of the work cited above are correct. In particular, we show that in high magnetic fields, applied along one of the two main crystallographic axis, we have 2D electron spectrum, whereas, for directions of high magnetic fields far from the axes, we have 1D electron spectrum. The latter is known to promote non-Fermi-liquid properties. As a result, we expect the existence of Fermi-liquid-non-Fermi-liquid angular crossovers or phase transitions. Electronic parameters of Q1D conductor (Per)(2)Pt(mnt)(2) show that such transitions can appear in feasible high magnetic fields of the order of H similar or equal to 20-25 T.12 month embargo; published online: 17 October 2017This item from the UA Faculty Publications collection is made available by the University of Arizona with support from the University of Arizona Libraries.

    Method to Reveal and Investigate Almost 2D Fermi Surfaces in Layered Conductors: Universal Resistivity in a Parallel Magnetic Field

    No full text
    We suggested an original method to investigate the Fermi surfaces (FSs) in the quasi-two-dimensional conductors some time ago [A.G. Lebed and N.N. Bagmet, Phys. Rev. B 55, R8654 (1997)]. It was based on a consideration of a perpendicular conductivity in quasi-two-dimensional metals in parallel magnetic fields in the framework of the Boltzmann kinetic equation, where it was shown that the conductivity was independent on impurities. In this paper, we demonstrate that the above mentioned result is much more general than the kinetic equation and can be obtained even in a fully quantum mechanical case. We suggest to investigate this possible phenomenon in the quasi-two-dimensional organic, high- Tc , and some others superconductors in a metallic phase to judge if the Fermi liquid picture is valid for them or not. If the Fermi liquid picture is valid, then study of the perpendicular resistivity in the rotated parallel magnetic field allows to extract important information about the two-dimensional Fermi surfaces. © 2023, The Author(s).Open access articleThis item from the UA Faculty Publications collection is made available by the University of Arizona with support from the University of Arizona Libraries.

    Violation of the Einstein's Equivalence Principle for a Composite Quantum Body

    No full text
    Recently, we have started to investigate behavior of a composite quantum body in an external gravitational field in the framework of General Relativity [see, for a review, A. G. Lebed, Mod. Phys. Lett. A, {\bf 35}, 2030010 (2020)]. As the simplest example, we have considered a hydrogen atom in a weak gravitational field. Our results are the following. The Einstein's Equivalence Principle survives for the most of macroscopic ensembles of the atoms, containing the stationary quantum states. On the other hand, we have demonstrated that this principle is sometimes broken. In particular, it is broken for the so-called Gravitational demons, which are the coherent macroscopic ensembles of two or more stationary quantum states in the hydrogen atoms. In the above cited paper we have considered the Gedanken experiment, where the gravitational field is suddenly switched on in a free from gravitation space. In the current paper we consider the much more realistic from experimental point of view Gedanken experiment and come to the same conclusion about violations of the Einstein's Equivalence Principle for the Gravitational demons.Comment: 4 page

    Orbital effect for the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov phase in a quasi-two-dimensional superconductor in a parallel magnetic field

    No full text
    We theoretically study the orbital destructive effect against superconductivity in a parallel magnetic field in the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO or LOFF) phase at zero temperature in a quasi-two-dimensional (Q2D) conductor. We demonstrate that at zero temperature a special parameter, lambda = l(perpendicular to)(H)/d, is responsible for strength of the orbital effect, where l(perpendicular to)(H) is a typical "size" of the quasiclassical electron orbit in a magnetic field and d is the interplane distance. We discuss applications of our results to the existing experiments on the FFLO phase in the organic Q2D conductors kappa-(ET)(2)Cu(NCS)(2) and kappa-(ET)(2)Cu[N(CN)(2)]Cl.Authors retain "The right to use all or part of the Article, including the APS-prepared version without revision or modification, on the author(s)’ web home page or employer’s website and to make copies of all or part of the Article, including the APS-prepared version without revision or modification, for the author(s)’ and/or the employer’s use for educational or research purposes."This item from the UA Faculty Publications collection is made available by the University of Arizona with support from the University of Arizona Libraries.

    About a question of Gateva-Ivanova and Cameron on square-free set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation

    No full text
    In this article, we introduce a new sequence (Formula presented.) to find a new estimation of the cardinality Nm of the minimal involutive square-free solution of level m. As an application, using the first values of (Formula presented.) we improve the estimations of Nm obtained by Gateva-Ivanova and Cameron and Lebed and Vendramin. Following the approach of the first part, in the last section we construct several new counterexamples to the Gateva-Ivanova’s Conjecture

    On various types of nilpotency of the structure monoid and group of a set-theoretic solution of the Yang--Baxter equation

    No full text
    Given a finite bijective non-degenerate set-theoretic solution (X,r)(X,r) of the Yang--Baxter equation we characterize when its structure monoid M(X,r)M(X,r) is Malcev nilpotent. Applying this characterization to solutions coming from racks, we rediscover some results obtained recently by Lebed and Mortier, and by Lebed and Vendramin on the description of finite abelian racks and quandles. We also investigate bijective non-degenerate multipermutation (not necessarily finite) solutions (X,r)(X,r) and show, for example, that this property is equivalent to the solution associated to the structure monoid M(X,r)M(X,r) (respectively structure group G(X,r)G(X,r)) being a multipermuation solution and that G=G(X,r)G=G(X,r) is solvable of derived length not exceeding the multipermutation level of (X,r)(X,r) enlarged by one, generalizing results of Gateva-Ivanova and Cameron obtained in the involutive case. Moreover, we also prove that if XX is finite and G=G(X,r)G=G(X,r) is nilpotent, then the torsion part of the group GG is finite, it coincides with the commutator subgroup [G,G]+[G,G]_+ of the additive structure of the skew left brace GG and G/[G,G]+G/[G,G]_+ is a trivial left brace.Comment: 36 pages, some typos corrected, to appear in Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra, postprint versio
