چکیده

We analyze the ordered state of nuclear spins embedded in an interacting two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) with Rashba spin-orbit interaction (SOI). Stability of the ferromagnetic nuclear-spin phase is governed by nonanalytic dependences of the electron spin susceptibility χ on the momentum (q̃) and on the SOI coupling constant (α). The uniform (q̃ = 0) spin susceptibility is anisotropic (with the out-of-plane component χ being larger than the in-plane one χ by a term proportional to U (2kF )|α|, where U (q) is the electron-electron interaction). For q̃ 2m∗|α|, corrections to the leading U (2kF )|α| term scale linearly with q̃ for χ and are absent for χ. This anisotropy has important consequences for the ferromagnetic nuclear-spin phase: (i) the ordered state—if achieved—is of an Ising type and (ii) the spin-wave dispersion is gapped at q̃ = 0. To second order in U (q), the dispersion is a decreasing function of q̃, and anisotropy is not sufficient to stabilize long-range order. However, renormalization in the Cooper channel for q̃ 2m∗|α| is capable of reversing the sign of the q̃ dependence of χ and thus stabilizing the ordered state. We also show that a combination of the electron-electron and spin-orbit (SO) interactions leads to a new effect: long-wavelength Friedel oscillations in the spin (but not charge) electron density induced by local magnetic moments. The period of these oscillations is given by the SO length π/m∗|α|.

Causality from western empiricism viewpoint, and its critique from transcendent philosophy viewpoint

  Causality and its aspects is one of the fundamental issues in Islamic and western philosophy. In the modern west, some empirical philosophers like, Locke, Berkeley and Hume by empirical attitude challenged causality, that this subject is related to their epistemological principles in approach to objective and subjective facts, means empirical base of knowledge. Hence these philosophers denie...
