چکیده

Abstract. A didactic description of the thermodynamic properties of classical spin systems is given in terms of their quantum counterpart in the Hamiltonian limit. Emphasis is on the construction of the relevant Hamiltonian, and the calculation of thermal averages is explicitly done in the case of small systems described, in Hamiltonian field theory, by small matrices. The targeted students are those of a graduate statistical physics course Résumé. On donne une description didactique des propriétés thermodynamiques de systèmes de spins classiques en termes de leur équivalent quantique dans la limite hamiltonienne. On insiste sur la construction de l’hamiltonien et le calcul des moyennes thermiques est effectué explicitement dans le cas de systèmes de petite taille, décrits dans la théorie hamiltonienne des champs par des petites matrices. Le public visé est celui d’étudiants suivant un cours avancés en physique statistique.

Dilations‎, ‎models‎, ‎scattering and spectral problems of 1D discrete Hamiltonian systems

In this paper, the maximal dissipative extensions of a symmetric singular 1D discrete Hamiltonian operator with maximal deficiency indices (2,2) (in limit-circle cases at ±∞) and acting in the Hilbert space ℓ_{Ω}²(Z;C²) (Z:={0,±1,±2,...}) are considered. We consider two classes dissipative operators with separated boundary conditions both at -∞ and ∞. For each of these cases we establish a self...

Umtg-170 Introduction to the Thermodynamics of Spin Chains *

We review how to obtain the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz (TBA) equations for the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg ring in an external magnetic field. We review how to solve these equations for low temperature and small field, and calculate the specific heat and magnetic susceptibility. 1. Motivation Quantum spin chains provide some of the simplest examples of physical systems with quantum-algebra sym...

ترابرد الکتریکی وابسته به اسپین در ساختارهای نامتجانس Fe-MgO-Fe

In this paper, spin-dependent electrical transport properties are investigated in a single-crystal magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) which consists of two ferromagnetic Fe electrodes separated by an MgO insulating barrier. These properties contain electric current, spin polarization and tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR). For this purpose, spin-dependent Hamiltonian is described for Δ1 and Δ5 bands in...

Semi-Classical Dynamics in Quantum Spin Systems

We consider two limiting regimes, the large-spin and the mean-field limit, for the dynamical evolution of quantum spin systems. We prove that, in these limits, the time evolution of a class of quantum spin systems is determined by a corresponding Hamiltonian dynamics of classical spins. This result can be viewed as a Egorov-type theorem. We extend our results to the thermodynamic limit of latti...

Bifurcation of limit cycles from a quadratic reversible center with the unbounded elliptic separatrix

The paper is concerned with the bifurcation of limit cycles in general quadratic perturbations of a quadratic reversible and non-Hamiltonian system, whose period annulus is bounded by an elliptic separatrix related to a singularity at infinity in the poincar'{e} disk. Attention goes to the number of limit cycles produced by the period annulus under perturbations. By using the appropriate Picard...
