Itinerant ferromagnetism in the repulsive Hubbard chain with spin-anisotropic odd-wave attraction
Full text linkThe ground-state properties of the Hubbard chain with on-site repulsion and anisotropic nearest-neighbor attraction are investigated by means of density matrix renormalization group calculations. The nonlocal attraction acts between fermions of one spin component only, mimicking the effect of p-wave Feshbach resonances in cold-atom systems. We analyze the onset of itinerant ferromagnetism, pinpointing the critical attraction strength where partially and fully ferromagnetic states occur. In the cold-atom setup, where the two (pseudo)spin populations are separately conserved, ferromagnetism occurs with the nucleation of a fully imbalanced band-insulating domain hosting the attractive component only. The size of this domain grows with the attraction strength, therefore increasing the (opposite) imbalance of the other domain, until the two spin components are fully separated. In the presence of a harmonic trap, the ferromagnetic state hosts a partially imbalanced domain in the center with an excess of the attractive component and filling lower than one. This central region is surrounded by fully imbalanced domains, located in the trap tails, hosting only fermions belonging to the other component
Quantum Monte Carlo simulations of two-dimensional repulsive Fermi gases with population imbalance
Full text linkThe ground-state properties of two-component repulsive Fermi gases in two dimensions are investigated by means of fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo simulations. The energy per particle is determined as a function of the intercomponent interaction strength and of the population imbalance. The regime of universality in terms of the s-wave scattering length is identified by comparing results for hard-disk and for soft-disk potentials. In the large imbalance regime, the equation of state turns out to be well described by a Landau-Pomeranchuk functional for two-dimensional polarons. To fully characterize this expansion, we determine the polarons' effective mass and their coupling parameter, complementing previous studies on their chemical potential. Furthermore, we extract the magnetic susceptibility from low-imbalance data, finding only small deviations from the mean-field prediction. While the mean-field theory predicts a direct transition from a paramagnetic to a fully ferromagnetic phase, our diffusion Monte Carlo results suggest that the partially ferromagnetic phase is stable in a narrow interval of the interaction parameter. This finding calls for further analyses on the effects due to the fixed-node constraint

Full text linkThe 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
Transport properties in the "strange metal phase" of high Tc cuprates: spin-charge gauge theory versus experiments
Full text linkThe SU(2)xU(1) Chern-Simons spin-charge gauge approach developed earlier to describe the transport properties of the cuprate superconductors in the ``pseudogap'' regime, in particular, the metal-insulator crossover of the in-plane resistivity, is generalized to the ``strange metal'' phase at higher temperature/doping. The short-range antiferromagnetic order and the gauge field fluctuations, which were the key ingredients in the theory for the pseudogap phase, also play an important role in the present case. The main difference between these two phases is caused by the existence of an underlying statistical -flux lattice for charge carriers in the former case, whereas the background flux is absent in the latter case. The Fermi surface then changes from small ``arcs'' in the pseudogap to a rather large closed line in the strange metal phase. As a consequence the celebrated linear in T dependence of the in-plane and out-of-plane resistivity is shown explicitly to recover. The doping concentration and temperature dependence of theoretically calculated in-plane and out-of-plane resistivity, spin-relaxation rate and AC conductivity are compared with experimental data, showing good agreement
In-Plane Conductivity Anisotropy in Underdoped Cuprates in the Spin-Charge Gauge Approach
No full textApplying the recently developed spin-charge gauge theory for the pseudogap phase in cuprates, we propose a self-consistent explanation of several peculiar features of the far-infrared in-plane AC conductivity, including a broad peak as a function of frequency and significant anisotropy at low temperatures, along with a similar temperature-dependent in-plane anisotropy of DC conductivity in lightly doped cuprates. The anisotropy of the metal-insulator crossover scale is considered to be responsible for these phenomena. The obtained results are in good agreement with experiments. An explicit proposal is made to further check the theory
Spin-charge gauge approach to "Pseudogap": theory versus experiments
No full textWe propose an explanation of several experimental features related to the ‘‘pseudogap’’ in high Tc cuprates in terms of a spin-charge gauge theory. In this approach, based on a formal spin-charge separation applied to the t–J model, the low energy effective action describes gapful spinons (with a theoretically derived doping dependence of the gap) and holons with ‘‘small’’ Fermi surface interacting via a gauge field. The main effect of gauge fluctuations is to introduce a dissipation. The competition between the two energy scales is the root in our approach of many phenomena peculiar to transport properties of the ‘‘pseudogap phase’’. A good agreement is found between the experimental data and theoretically derived doping and temperature dependence of many physical quantities, such as in-plane and out-of-plane resistivity, in-plane magnetoresistance, far infrared electronic AC conductivity and spin lattice relaxation rate
