The inclusion of a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya short range antisymmetric interaction induces spontaneous magnetization, at nonzero temperatures, in one and two dimensions. It is shown that quantum fluctuations are reduced by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, but short range correlations are increased, thereby allowing to obtain long range magnetic order in these low dimensional systems.

The onset of turbulent flow around an oscillating sphere in superfluid $^4$He is known to occur at a critical velocity $v_c \sim \sqrt{\kappa\omega}$ where $\kappa$ is the circulation quantum and $\omega$ is the oscillation frequency. But it is also well known that initially in a first up-sweep of the oscillation amplitude, $v_c$ can be considerably exceeded before the transition occurs, thus leading to a strong hysteresis in the velocity sweeps. The velocity amplitude $v_c^* > v_c$ where...

The motivation of this work is to get an additional insight into the irreversible energy dissipation on the quantum level. The presented examination procedure is based on the Feynman path integral method that is applied and widened towards the calculation of the kernel of a quantum mechanical damped oscillator. Here, it is shown that the energy loss of the oscillator can be generated by the introduced harmonic complex potential. The related damped wave function, however, does not pertain to the...

We discuss system with non-isotropic non-Heisenberg Hamiltonian with nearest neighbor exchange within a mean field approximation process. We drive equations describing non-Heisenberg non-isotropic model using coherent states in real parameters and then obtain dispersion equations of spin wave of dipole and quadrupole branches for a small linear excitation from the ground state. In final, soliton solution for quadrupole branches for these linear equations obtained.

We study the coupled dynamics of normal and superfluid components of the superfluid $^4$He in the channel considering the counterflow turbulence with laminar normal component. In particular, we calculated profiles of the normal velocity, the mutual friction, the vortex line density and other flow properties and compared them to the case when the dynamic of the normal component is "frozen". We have found that the coupling between the normal and superfluid components leads to flattening...

The flow of superfluid $^4$He around a translationally oscillating sphere, levitating without mechanical support, can either be laminar or turbulent, depending on the velocity amplitude. Below a critical velocity $v_c$ that scales as $\omega ^{1/2}$, and is temperature independent below 1 K, the flow is laminar (potential flow). Below 0.5 K the linear drag force is caused by ballistic phonon scattering that vanishes as T$^4$ until background damping, measured in the empty cell, becomes dominant...

There are many topological faces of the superfluid phases of $^3$He. These superfluids contain various topological defects and textures. The momentum space topology of these superfluids is also nontrivial, as well as the topology in the combined (${\bf p},{\bf r})$ phase space, giving rise to topologically protected Dirac, Weyl and Majorana fermions living in bulk, on the surface and within the topological objects.

In the present work, the problem of an all-coupling analytic description for the optical conductivity of the Froehlich polaron is treated, with the goal being to bridge the gap in validity range that exists between two complementary methods: on the one hand the memory function formalism and on the other hand the strong-coupling expansion based on the Franck-Condon picture for the polaron response. At intermediate coupling, both methods were found to fail as they do not reproduce Diagrammatic...

We study the response of one-dimensional liquid $^4$He to weak perturbations relying on the dynamical structure factor, $S(q,\omega)$, recently obtained via ab-initio techniques [Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 135302 (2016)]. We evaluate the drag force, $F_v$, experienced by an impurity moving along the system with velocity $v$ and the static response function, $\chi(q)$, describing the density modulations induced by a periodic perturbation with wave vector $q$.

We report high-resolution neutron Compton scattering measurements of liquid $^4$He under saturated vapor pressure. There is excellent agreement between the observed scattering and ab initio predictions of its lineshape. Quantum Monte Carlo calculations predict that the Bose condensate fraction is zero in the normal fluid, builds up rapidly just below the superfluid transition temperature, and reaches a value of approximately $7.5\%$ below 1 K. We also used model fit functions to obtain from the...

To obtain results it uses slightly modified Schrodinger equation in spaces of dimensionality higher than physical space. It enables to get exact results for quasicrystals without expensive non-exact calculations. New method tested on one-dimensional quasiperiodic screened Coulomb potential.

Large-radius translation invariant (TI) bipolarons are considered in a one-dimensional Holstein molecular chain. Criteria of their stability are obtained. The energy of a translation invariant bipolaron is shown to be lower than that of a bipolaron with broken symmetry. The results obtained are applied to the problem of superconductivity in 1D-systems. It is shown that TI-bipolaron mechanism of Bose-Einstein condensation can support superconductivity even for infinite chain.

We investigate, theoretically and experimentally,the properties of diffraction spectra of Fibonacci lattices with arbitrary spacings. We show that, by means of a suitable composition rule, a Fibonacci sequence can be mapped into another one with a different lattice spacing. In this way we are able to define equivalence classes of Fibonacci structures and their generators, namely the Fibonacci sequences from which all the others can be obtained by compostion rule. We show that each class can be...

We calculate expressions for the state-dependent quasiparticle lifetime, the thermal conductivity $\kappa$, the shear viscosity $\eta$, and discuss the spin diffusion coefficient $D$ for Fermi-liquid films in two dimensions. The expressions are valid for low temperatures and arbitrary polarization. The low-temperature expressions for the transport coefficients are essentially exact. We find that $\kappa^{-1} \sim T \ln{T}$, and $\eta^{-1} \sim T^{2}$ for arbitrary polarizations $0 \le...

The Kubo formula for the electrical conductivity is rewritten in terms of a sum of Drude-like contributions associated to the exact eigenstates of the interacting system, each characterized by its own frequency-dependent relaxation time. The structure of the novel and equivalent formulation, weighting the contribution from each eigenstate by its Boltzmann occupation factor, simplifies considerably the access to the static properties (dc conductivity) and resolves the long standing difficulties...

We demonstrate experimentally the possibility of revealing fluctuations in the eigenfrequency of a resonator when the frequency noise is of the telegraph type. Using a resonantly driven micromechanical resonator, we show that the time-averaged vibration amplitude spectrum exhibits two peaks. They merge with an increasing rate of frequency switching and the spectrum displays an analog of motional narrowing. We also show that the moments of the complex amplitude depend strongly on the frequency...

Low-temperature grid generated turbulence is investigated by using numerical simulations of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The statistics of regularized velocity increments are studied. Increments of the incompressible velocity are found to be skewed for turbulent states. Results are later confronted with the (quasi) homogeneous and isotropic Taylor-Green flow, revealing the universality of the statistics. For this flow, the statistics are found to be intermittent and a Kolmogorov constant...

Molecular rotation spectra, generated by the coupling of the molecular electric-dipole moments to an external time-dependent electric field, are discussed in a few particular conditions which can be of some experimental interest. First, the spherical-pendulum molecular model is reviewed, with the aim of introducing an approximate method which consists in the separation of the azimuthal and zenithal motions. Second, rotation spectra are considered in the presence of a static electric field. Two...

The dynamics of a single magnetic Skyrmion in an atomic spin system under the influence of Scanning Tunneling Microscope is investigated by computer simulations solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. Two possible scenarios are described: manipulation with aid of a spin-polarized tunneling current and by an electric field created by the scanning tunneling microscope. The dynamics during the creation and annihilation process is studied and the possibility to move single Skyrmions is showed.

We perform fully-coupled numerical simulations of helium II pure superflows in a channel, with vortex- line density typical of experiments. Peculiar to our model is the computation of the back-reaction of the superfluid vortex motion on the normal fluid and the presence of solid boundaries. We recover the uniform vortex-line density experimentally measured employing second sound resonators and we show that pure superflow in helium II is associated with a large-scale circulation of the normal...

Electronic wave functions of planar molecules can be reconstructed via inverse Fourier transform of angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) data, provided the phase of the electron wave in the detector plane is known. Since the recorded intensity is proportional to the absolute square of the Fourier transform of the initial state wave function, information about the phase distribution is lost in the measurement. It was shown that the phase can be retrieved in some cases by iterative...
