Gapless spin-1 neutral collective mode branch for graphite.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using the standard tight binding model of 2D graphite with short range electron repulsion, we predict a gapless spin-1, neutral collective mode branch below the particle-hole continuum with energy vanishing linearly with momenta at the Gamma and K points in the Brillouin zone. This spin-1 mode has a wide energy dispersion, 0 to approximately 2 eV, and is not Landau damped. The "Dirac cone spectrum" of electrons at the chemical potential of graphite generates our collective mode, so we call this "spin-1 zero sound" of the "Dirac sea." Epithermal neutron scattering experiments and spin polarized electron energy loss spectroscopy can be used to confirm and study our collective mode.

Parity law of the singlet-triplet gap in graphitic ribbons
This work explores the possibility to transfer the parity law of the singlet-triplet gap established for square ladders (gapped for even number of legs, gapless for odd number of legs) to fused polyacenic 1-D systems, i.e., graphite ribbons. Qualitative arguments are presented in favor of a gapped character when the number nω of benzene rings along the ribbon width is odd. A series of numerical...
متن کاملMagnetization curve of second layer antiferromagnetic solid 3He on graphite in high magnetic fields
Two dimensional anti-ferromagnetic solid He adsorbed on graphite, so called 4/7 phase, is a strongly frustrated quantum spin system and the ground state is considered to be a gapless spin liquid. To clarify the magnetic behavior, the magnetization curve has been investigated below 1 mK in high magnetic fields, using NMR over the wide frequency region up to 360 MHz. The magnetization is found to...
متن کاملCollective states of interacting anyons, edge states, and the nucleation of topological liquids.
Quantum mechanical systems, whose degrees of freedom are so-called su(2)k anyons, form a bridge between ordinary SU(2) quantum magnets (of arbitrary spin-S) and systems of interacting non-Abelian anyons. Anyonic spin-1/2 chains exhibit a topological protection mechanism that stabilizes their gapless ground states and which vanishes only in the limit (k-->infinity) of the ordinary spin-1/2 Heise...
متن کاملDamping of Long-Wavelength Collective Modes in Spinor Bose-Fermi Mixtures.
Using an effective field theory we describe the low energy bosonic excitations in a three-dimensional ultracold mixture of spin-1 bosons and spin-1/2 fermions. We establish an interesting fermionic excitation induced generic damping of the usual undamped long-wavelength bosonic collective Goldstone modes. Two states with bosons forming either a ferromagnetic or polar superfluid are studied. The...
متن کاملFermionic Chern-Simons theory for the fractional quantum Hall effect in bilayers.
We generalize the fermion Chern-Simons theory for the Fractional Hall Effect (FQHE) which we developed before, to the case of bilayer systems. We study the complete dynamic response of these systems and predict the experimentally accessible optical properties. In general, for the so called (m,m,n) states, we find that the spectrum of collective excitations has a gap, and the wave function has t...
