چکیده

We describe neutron scattering, NMR relaxation, and thermal transport properties of Z2 spin liquids in two dimensions. Comparison to recent experiments on the spin S = 1/2 triangular lattice antiferromagnet in κ-(ET)2Cu2(CN)3 shows that this compound may realize a Z2 spin liquid. We argue that the topological ‘vison’ excitations dominate thermal transport, and that recent thermal conductivity experiments by M. Yamashita et al. have observed the vison gap.

A pr 2 00 5 CLASSIFICATION OF ESCAPING EXPONENTIAL MAPS

We give a complete classification of the set of parameters κ for which the singular value of Eκ : z 7→ exp(z) + κ escapes to ∞ under iteration. In particular, we show that every path-connected component of this set is a curve to infinity.

5 A ug 2 00 5 Thermal conductivity of R 2 CuO 4 , with R = La , Pr and Gd

We present measurements of the in-plane (κ ab) and out-of-plane (κc) thermal conductivity of Pr2CuO4 and Gd2CuO4 single crystals. The anisotropy gives strong evidence for a large contribution of magnetic excitations to κ ab , i.e. for a heat current within the CuO2 planes. However, the absolute values of κmag are lower than previous results on La2CuO4. These differences probably arise from devi...

Transport of a Liquid Water-Methanol Mixture in a Single Wall Carbon Nanotube

In this work, a molecular dynamics simulation of the transport of water - methanol mixture through the single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) is reported. Methanol and water are selected as fluid molecules since water represents a strongly polar molecule while methanol is as an intermediate between polar and strongly polar molecules. Some physical properties of the methanol-water mixture such as r...

Spin currents and spin superfluidity

The present review analyzes and compares various types of dissipationless spin transport: (1) Superfluid transport, when the spin-current state is a metastable state (a local but not the absolute minimum in the parameter space). (2) Ballistic spin transport, when spin is transported without losses simply because sources of dissipation are very weak. (3) Equilibrium spin currents, i.e., genuine ...
