Phil Anderson's Magnetic Ideas in Science [PDF]

, 2016
In Philip W. Anderson's research, magnetism has always played a special role, providing a prism through which other more complex forms of collective behavior and broken symmetry could be examined. I discuss his work on magnetism from the 1950s, where his

Minimal length scales for the existence of local temperature

, 2006
We review a recent approach to determine the minimal spatial length scales on which local temperature exists. After mentioning an experiment where such considerations are of relevance, we first discuss the precise definition of the existence of local ...

Evidences for Tsallis non-extensivity on CMR manganites

, 2002
We found, from the analysis of $M$ vs. $T$ curves of some manganese oxides (manganites), that these systems do not follow the traditional Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics, but the Tsallis statistics, within the \QTR{em}{normalized} formalism.

Spin Glasses: Still Complex After All These Years?

, 2003
Spin glasses are magnetic systems exhibiting both quenched disorder and frustration, and have often been cited as examples of `complex systems.' In this talk I review some of the basic notions of spin glass physics, and discuss how some of our recent ...

Anti-shielding Effect and Negative Temperature in Instantaneously Reversed Electric Fields and Left-Handed Media

, 2003
The connections between the anti-shielding effect, negative absolute temperature and superluminal light propagation in both the instantaneously reversed electric field and the left-handed media are considered in the present paper.

A nonlinear theory for fibre-reinforced magneto-elastic rods

, 2017
We derive a model for the finite motion of a magneto-elastic rod reinforced with isotropic (spherical) or anisotropic (ellipsoidal) inclusions. The particles are assumed weakly and uniformly magnetised, rigid and firmly embedded into the elastomeric ...

The Topological Non-connectivity Threshold in quantum long-range interacting spin systems

, 2005
Quantum characteristics of the Topological Non-connectivity Threshold (TNT), introduced in F.Borgonovi, G.L.Celardo, M.Maianti, E.Pedersoli, J. Stat. Phys., 116, 516 (2004), have been analyzed in the hard quantum regime.

Quantum computing with spin qubits in semiconductor structures

, 2001
We survey recent work on designing and evaluating quantum computing implementations based on nuclear or bound-electron spins in semiconductor heterostructures at low temperatures and in high magnetic fields.

Ideal quantum gases in two dimensions

, 1994
Thermodynamic properties of non-relativistic bosons and fermions in two spatial dimensions and without interactions are derived. All the virial coefficients are the same except for the second, for which the signs are opposite.
