Goldstone Modes in Bilayer Quantum
نویسندگان
چکیده
At the filling factor ν=2, the bilayer quantum Hall system has three phases, the spin-ferromagnet phase, the spin singlet phase and the canted antiferromagnet (CAF) phase, depending on the relative strength between the Zeeman energy and interlayer tunneling energy. We present a systematic method to derive the effective Hamiltonian for the Goldstone modes in these three phases. We then investigate the dispersion relations and the coherence lengths of the Goldstone modes. To explore a possible emergence of the interlayer phase coherence, we analyze the dispersion relations in the limit of zero tunneling energy. We find one gapless mode with the linear dispersion relation in the CAF phase.

Thermal Transport Signatures of Broken-Symmetry Phases in Graphene.
In the half filled zero-energy Landau level of bilayer graphene, competing phases with spontaneously broken symmetries and an intriguing quantum critical behavior have been predicted. Here we investigate signatures of these broken-symmetry phases in thermal transport measurements. To this end, we calculate the spectrum of spin and valley waves in the ν=0 quantum Hall state of bilayer graphene. ...
متن کاملQuantum Squeezed Light Propagation in an Optical Parity-Time (PT)-Symmetric Structure
We investigate the medium effect of a parity-time (PT)-symmetric bilayer on the quantum optical properties of an incident squeezed light at zero temperature (T=0 K). To do so, we use the canonical quantization approach and describe the amplification and dissipation properties of the constituent layers of the bilayer structure by Lorentz model to analyze the quadrature squeezing of the outgoing ...
متن کاملII.C Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking and Goldstone Modes
∫ II.C Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking and Goldstone Modes For zero field, ~h = 0, although the microscopic Hamiltonian has full rotational sym metry, the low–temperature phase does not. As a specific direction in n–space is selected for the net magnetization M~ , there is a spontaneously broken symmetry, and a correspond ing long–range order is established in the system. The original symmetry ...
متن کاملNambu-goldstone Modes in Gravitational Theories with Spontaneous Lorentz Breaking
Spontaneous breaking of Lorentz symmetry has been suggested as a possible mechanism that might occur in the context of a fundamental Planck-scale theory, such as string theory or a quantum theory of gravity. However, if Lorentz symmetry is spontaneously broken, two sets of questions immediately arise: what is the fate of the Nambu-Goldstone (NG) modes, and can a Higgs mechanism occur? A brief s...
متن کاملQuantum critical behavior in disordered itinerant ferromagnets: Instability of the ferromagnetic phase
An effective field theory is derived, which describes the quantum critical behavior of itinerant ferromagnets, as the transition is approached from the ferromagnetic phase. This complements a recent study of the critical behavior on the paramagnetic side of the phase transition, and investigates the role of the ferromagnetic Goldstone modes near criticality. We find that the Goldstone modes hav...
