نویسنده
چکیده
We suggest a simple model to describe the reversible field-induced transfer of a single Xe-atom in a scanning tunneling microscope, — the Eigler-switch. The inelasticly tunneling electrons give rise to fluctuating forces on and damping of the Xe-atom resulting in an effective current dependent temperature. The rate of transfer is controlled by the well-known Arrhenius law with this effective temperature. The directionality of atom transfer is discussed, and the importance of use of non-equlibrium-formalism for the electronic environment is emphasized. The theory constitutes a formal derivation and generalization of the so-called Desorption Induced by Multiple Electron Transitions (DIMET) point of view.

We consider the " fractional quantum Hall atom " in the vanishing Zeeman energy limit, and investigate the validity of Hund's maximum-spin rule for interacting electrons in various Landau levels. While it is not valid for electrons in the lowest Landau level, there are regions of filling factors where it predicts the ground state spin correctly provided it is applied to composite fermions. The ...

We analyze the phase diagram of single and bi-layer cuprates using the gaugefield description of the t-J model. For T > TBE the in-plane fermion-pairing order parameter ∆‖ is eliminated by gauge field fluctuations, leading us to predict the absence of a spin-gap phase in single-layer cuprates. For bi-layer cuprates the inter-layer order parameter ∆⊥ is enhanced by spin correlations, and is less...
