Chiral Metal as a Heisenberg Ferromagnet
نویسنده
چکیده
The two-dimensional surface of an integer quantum hall multilayer is mapped onto a Heisenberg spin chain with ferromagnetic coupling. Using this mapping it is shown nonperturbatively that the surface states constitute a very anisotropic metal in the infinite size limit. For multilayers of finite size, two diffusive mesoscopic regimes are identified and the conductance fluctuations are calculated perturbatively for both. The Heisenberg spin-chain representation is used to study the directed wave problem and the exact result is obtained that the mean-square deflection of a directed wave grows as the square root of the propagation distance.

Frustration-induced insulating chiral spin state in itinerant triangular-lattice magnets.
We study the double-exchange model at half-filling with competing superexchange interactions on a triangular lattice, combining exact diagonalization and Monte Carlo methods. We find that in between the expected itinerant ferromagnetic and 120° Yafet-Kittel phases a robust scalar-chiral, insulating spin state emerges. At finite temperatures the ferromagnet-scalar-chiral quantum critical point i...
متن کاملThe Phonon Self-energy in an Anisotropic Heisenberg Ferromagnet with Single-ion Anisotropy
The phonon self-energy in an anisotropic Heisenberg ferromagnet with single-ion anisotropy is derived using diagrammatic theory. The result is an improvement over those hitherto reported in that the optical branch of the magnetic excitations arising from the single-ion anisotropy is fully accounted for.
متن کاملReentrant transitions of Ising-Heisenberg ferromagnet on a triangular lattice with diamond-like decorations
The mixed spin-1/2 and spin-1 Ising-Heisenberg ferromagnet on the decorated triangular lattice consisting of inter-connected diamonds is investigated within the framework of an exact decoration-iteration mapping transformation. It is shown that the diamond-like decoration by a couple of the Heisenberg spins gives rise to a diverse critical behaviour including reentrant phase transitions with tw...

An upper bound Te for the critical temperature of a class of spin systems which includes the Heisenberg ferromagnet is derived. The analyticity of the free energy as a function of the temperature, the external magnetic field, and the interaction potentials, is demonstrated in a domain which includes all temperatures T > Tc For the isotropic Heisenberg ferromagnet in v dimensions we find the poo...
