Vortices in Quantum Spin Systems
We examine spin vortices in ferromagnetic quantum Heisenberg models with planar anisotropy on two–dimensional lattices. The symmetry properties and the time evolution of vortices built up from spin–coherent states are studied in detail. Although these states show a dispersion typical for wave packets, important features of classical vortices are conserved. Moreover, the results on symmetry prop...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional Brownian vortices
We introduce a stochastic model of two-dimensional Brownian vortices associated with the canonical ensemble. The point vortices evolve through their usual mutual advection but they experience in addition a random velocity and a systematic drift generated by the system as a whole. The statistical equilibrium state of this stochastic model is the Gibbs canonical distribution. We consider a single...
متن کاملVortices in Two-dimensional Nematics
Abstract. We study a two-dimensional model describing spatial variations of orientational ordering in nematic liquid crystals. In particular, we show that the spatially extended OnsagerMaier-Saupe free energy may be decomposed into Landau-de Gennes-type and relative entropy-type contributions. We then prove that in the high concentration limit the states of the system display characteristic vor...
متن کاملHalf-Quantum vortices in a two-dimensional chiral p-wave superconductor
In this term paper we give a brief introduction to the half-quantum vortices (HQVs) in a two-dimensional chiral p-wave superconductor such as Sr2RuO4. HQV was not observed in Sr2RuO4 in experiments for years, which results from the unstability of HQV in bulk material. Until most recently, Budakian’s group observed half-height magnetization steps in micron-size samples of Sr2RuO4, which indicate...
متن کاملDynamics of Vortices in Two-Dimensional Magnets
Theories, simulations and experiments on vortex dynamics in quasi-two-dimensional magnetic materials are reviewed. These materials can be modelled by the classical two-dimensional anisotropic Heisenberg model with XY (easy-plane) symmetry. There are two types of vortices, characterized by their polarization (a second topological charge in addition to the vorticity): Planar vortices have Newtoni...
