Simulation of the Jahn–Teller–Dicke magnetic structural phase transition with trapped ions

چکیده
We study theoretically the collective E⊗e Jahn–Teller–Dicke distortion in a system of trapped ions. In a previous work (Porras et al 2012 Phys. Rev. Lett. 108 235701) we have focused on cooperative Jahn–Teller models consisting of an ensemble of effective spins coupled to a set of many vibrational modes. Here, we show that under suitable conditions the spin ensemble may interact only with a single vibrational mode in each radial direction with U(1) symmetric couplings. Our model is exactly solvable in the thermodynamical limit and it is amenable to be solved by exact numerical diagonalization for a moderate number of ions. We show that trapped ions are ideally suited to study the spontaneous breaking of a continuous symmetry as well as magnetic structural phase transitions in a mesoscopic spin–boson system.

Investigation of effect of magnetic ordering on structural and electronic properties of double perovskites Sr2BWO6 (B = Co, Ni, Cu) using ab initio method
Structural and electronic properties of double perovskites Sr2BWO6 (B = Co, Ni, Cu) were studied for each of three magnetic configurations nonmagnetic, ferromagnetic, and antiferromagnetic by using density functional theory in generalized gradient approximations (GGA) and strong correlation correction (GGA + U). Due to magnetic transition from antiferromagnetic to nonmagnetic phase, an electr...

Background Strong magneto-structural coupling in spinel structure results in rich behaviors such as the co-operative Jahn–Teller (JT) distortion and the spin liquid state. To study these effects, NixZn1−xCr2O4 system has been investigated here. These compounds are normal cubic spinel with a space group Fd3̄m above 310 K for NiCr2O4 and at above 12 K for ZnCr2O4. In the normal spinel structure, s...
متن کاملInfluence of disorder on the structural phase transition and magnetic interactions in Ba3−xSrxCr2O8
The magnetic intradimer interaction constant J0 in the spin dimer system Ba3−xSrxCr2O8 can be tuned by varying the Sr content x. Very interestingly, this variation of J0 with x is highly nonlinear. In the present study, we show that this peculiar behavior of J0 can be only partly explained by the changes in the average crystal structure alone. We report on neutron powder diffraction experiments...
متن کاملMesoscopic mean-field theory for spin-boson chains in quantum optical systems
We present a theoretical description of a system of many spins strongly coupled to a bosonic chain. We rely on the use of a spinwave theory describing the Gaussian fluctuations around the mean-field solution, and focus on spin-boson chains arising as a generalization of the Dicke Hamiltonian. Our model is motivated by experimental setups such as trapped ions, or atoms/qubits coupled to cavity a...

Influence of the cooperative Jahn-Teller effect on the transport-and magnetic properties of La 7/8 Sr 1/8 MnO 3 single crystals Abstract The low-doped magnetic perovskite La 7/8 Sr 1/8 MnO 3 undergoes within the paramagnetic-semiconducting phase a first-order structural transition due to antiferrodistorsive ordering of Jahn-Teller deformed MnO 6 octahedra. This allows to study not only the infl...
