Local moment formation in quantum point contacts.
Spin-density-functional theory of quantum point contacts (QPCs) reveals the formation of a local moment with a net of one electron spin in the vicinity of the point contact-supporting the recent report of a Kondo effect in a QPC. The hybridization of the local moment to the leads decreases as the QPC becomes longer, while the on site Coulomb-interaction energy remains almost constant.
متن کاملEnhanced local moment formation in a chiral Luttinger liquid.
We derive here a stability condition for a local moment in the presence of an interacting sea of conduction electrons. The conduction electrons are modeled as a Luttinger liquid in which chirality and spin are coupled. We show that an Anderson-U defect in such an interacting system can be transformed onto a nearly-Fermi liquid problem. We find that correlations among the conduction electrons st...
متن کاملMonopole quantum numbers in the staggered flux spin liquid
Algebraic spin liquids, which are exotic gapless spin states preserving all microscopic symmetries, have been widely studied due to potential realizations in frustrated quantum magnets and the cuprates. At low energies, such putative phases are described by quantum electrodynamics in 2+1 dimensions. While significant progress has been made in understanding this nontrivial interacting field theo...
متن کاملHoles in a Quantum Spin Liquid.
Magnetic neutron scattering provides evidence for nucleation of antiferromagnetic droplets around impurities in a doped nickel oxide-based quantum magnet. The undoped parent compound contains a spin liquid with a cooperative singlet ground state and a gap in the magnetic excitation spectrum. Calcium doping creates excitations below the gap with an incommensurate structure factor. We show that w...
متن کاملTriplet waves in a quantum spin liquid
We report a neutron scattering study of the spin- 1/2 alternating bond antiferromagnet Cu(NO3)(2);2.5D(2)O for 0.06<k(B)T/J1<1.5. For k(B)T/J1<<1 the excitation spectrum is dominated by a coherent singlet-triplet mode centered at J1 = 0.442(2) meV with sinusoidal dispersion and a bandwidth of J2 = 0.106(2) meV. A complete description of the zero temperature contribution to the scattering functi...
