Spin and vortex dynamics and electromagnetic propagation in the spontaneous vortex phase
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the spin and vortex dynamics in the spontaneous vortex phase of magnetic superconductors. Equations of motion are derived which incorporate the coupling between the superconducting and magnetic components, as well as coupling between spin and vortex motion. We show that coupling between the spin and vortex degrees of freedom leads to new dynamical phenomena in the spontaneous vortex phase. In particular spin waves develop a minimum at wave vectors of the spiral instability in some directions and the electromagnetic waves propagate through the superconductor due to coupling to spin waves in some directions. These can be studied by inelastic neutron scattering and microwave experiments respectively. @S0163-1829~98!01041-8#

A New Technique for the Calculation of Colliding Vortex Rings
The present study involves a novel computational technique, regarding simultaneous use of the pseudo particle method, Poisson integral method and a special-purpose computer originally designed for molecular dynamics simulations (MDGRAPE-3). In the present calculations, the dynamics of two colliding vortex rings have been studied using the vortex method. The present acceleration technique allows...
متن کاملOn Berry phase in Bloch states
We comment on the relation between Berry phase and quantized Hall conductivities for charge and spin currents in some Bloch states, such as Bloch electrons in the presence of electromagnetic fields and quasiparticles in the vortex states of superfluid He. One can find out that the arguments presented here are closely related to the spontaneous polarization in crystalline dielectrics and the adi...
متن کاملVortex dynamics in self-dual Chern-Simons-Higgs systems.
We consider vortex dynamics in self-dual Chern-Simons Higgs systems. We show that the naive Aharanov-Bohm phase is the inverse of the statistical phase expected from the vortex spin, and that the self-dual configurations of vortices are degenerate in energy but not in angular momentum. We also use the path integral formalism to derive the dual formulation of Chern-Simons Higgs systems in which ...
متن کاملCharge Dynamics of Vortex Cores in Layered Chiral Triplet Superconductors
In an accompanying paper [J.A. Sauls and M. Eschrig, Vortices in chiral, spin-triplet superconductors and superfluids, this issue] we have studied the equilibrium properties of vortices in a chiral quasi-twodimensional triplet superfluid/superconductor. Here we extend our studies to include the dynamical response of a vortex core in a chiral triplet superconductor to an external a.c. electromag...
متن کاملObservation of self-induced optical vortex precession.
We report on the observation of self-induced precession of an optical vortex as a result of the nonlinear interaction between light and liquid crystals. The phenomenon corresponds to an instability for the spin-orbit interaction of light that manifests as a spontaneous axial symmetry breaking, which leads to the orbital motion of the optical vortex around the beam propagation. A nonlinear spin ...
