    EXACT SOLUTION OF THE ANDERSON LATTICE MODEL WITH INFINITE-RANGE HOPPING

    No full text
    We present the exact solution of the Anderson lattice model, under the assumption of constant hopping amplitudes between any pair of lattice sites. Special care is devoted to the behaviour of the double occupation density for correlated electrons and to the occurrence of a metal-insulator transition driven by variations of the electron density. © 1995

    Magnetoelectric effects and spin switching phenomena at the interface of chiral domains in spin-triplet superconductors

    Spin-triplet superconductors with time-reversal symmetry breaking can naturally lead to chiral domain walls in their interior. We study the magnetic properties emerging at the interface of chiral domains with opposite winding by focusing on the effects of a superconducting phase drop across the wall and an applied electric gating. The local inversion symmetry breaking at the domain wall drives mixed singlet-triplet pairing configurations that allow a phase- and electric-controllable magnetization with resulting parallel or antiparallel orientations on the two sides of the domain wall. The magnetic switching is also generally accompanied by both spin and charge currents flowing along the edges, whose amplitudes depend on the achieved parallel or antiparallel magnetic phase. The specific magnetoelectric properties of chiral domains with zero or nonvanishing net magnetization near the wall may have several implications. They can be employed to detect the presence of unconventional pairing as well as to design information storage units based on spin-polarized states attached to topological defects

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
