Persistent spin currents in an elastic Landau system
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a neutral particle with permanent magnetic dipole moment in an elastic medium with the presence of a uniform distribution of screw dislocations interacting with a radial electric field. We show that the uniform distribution of dislocations plays the role of an effective uniform magnetic field, and obtain a spectrum of energy which depends on the Aharonov-Casher geometric phase [Y. Aharonov, A. Casher, Phys. Rev. Lett. 53, 319 (1984)]. Moreover, from the dependence of energy levels on the Aharonov-Casher geometric phase, we calculate the persistent spin currents in this elastic Landau system.

Persistent currents in cold atoms
We propose a scheme to realize persistent mass and spin currents in cold atoms using optically generated gauge potentials. Two degenerate dark states can be created by coupling “tripod” atoms to three LaguerreGaussian laser beams carrying relative orbital angular momentum. Atoms in these dark states feel opposite effective magnetic fields of the flux-tube type and circulate in opposite directio...
متن کاملFrom dislocation motion to an additive velocity gradient decomposition , and some simple models of dislocation dynamics ∗ Amit
A mathematical theory of time-dependent dislocation mechanics of unrestricted geometric and material nonlinearity is reviewed. Within a ‘small deformation’ setting, a suite of simplified, but interesting, models, namely a nonlocal Ginzburg Landau, a nonlocal level set, and a nonlocal generalized Burgers equation are derived. In the finite deformation setting, it is shown that an additive decomp...
متن کاملPersistent spin currents in mesoscopic Haldane-gap spin rings
Using a modified spin-wave approach, we show that in the presence of an inhomogeneous magnetic field or an in-plane inhomogeneous electric field a mesoscopic antiferromagnetic Heisenberg ring with integer spin ~i.e., a Haldane-gap system! exhibits a persistent circulating spin current. Due to quantum fluctuations the current has a finite limit on the order of (2gmB)c/L at zero temperature, prov...
متن کاملCirculating and persistent currents induced by a current magnification and Aharonov-Casher phase
We considered the circulating current induced by the current magnification and the persistent current induced by Aharonov-Casher flux. The persistent currents have directional dependence on the direct current flow, but the circulating currents have no directional dependence. Hence in the equilibrium, only the persistent current can survives on the ring. For the charge current, the persistent ch...
متن کاملPersistent spin and mass currents and Aharonov-Casher effect.
Spin-orbit interaction produces persistent spin and mass currents in the ring via the Aharonov-Casher effect. The experiment in 3 He − A 1 phase, in which this effect leads to the excitation of mass and spin supercurrent is proposed.
