We present a theory of the pinning of dynamic spin-density-wave ~SDW! fluctuations in a d-wave superconductor by local imperfections that preserve spin-rotation invariance, such as impurities or vortex cores. The pinning leads to static spatial modulations in spin-singlet observables, while the SDW correlations remain dynamic: these are the ‘‘Friedel oscillations’’ of a spin-gap antiferromagnet...

Angle resolved magneto-Raman scattering has been performed on spin-polarized two dimensional electron gas embedded in Cd1−xMnxTe quantum wells to explore the intrinsic damping of propagating spin waves modes with in plane momentum q. The damping rate η follows a quadratic law η = η0+η2q 2 due to losses in the spin-current driven by the magnetization in qualitative agreement with Phys.Rev.B 78, ...

We present a theory of the pinning of dynamic spin density wave (SDW) fluctuations in a d-wave superconductor by local imperfections which preserve spin-rotation invariance, such as impurities or vortex cores. The pinning leads to static spatial modulations in spin-singlet observables, while the SDW correlations remain dynamic: these are the ‘Friedel oscillations’ of a spin-gap antiferromagnet....

We present analysis of the interacting quantum wire problem in the presence of magnetic field and spin-orbit interaction. We show that an interesting interplay of Zeeman and spin-orbit terms, facilitated by the electron-electron interaction, results in the spin-density wave state when the magnetic field and spin-orbit axes are orthogonal. This strongly affects charge transport through the wire:...

The spin wave interference is studied in two dimensional Ising ferromagnet driven by two coherent spherical magnetic field waves by Monte Carlo simulation. The spin waves are found to propagate and interfere according to the classic rule of interference pattern generated by two point sources. The interference pattern of spin wave is observed in one boundary of the lattice. The interference patt...

We experimentally demonstrate the generation of spin-wave frequency combs based on nonlinear interaction propagating spin waves in a microstructured waveguide. By means time- and space-resolved Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy, we show that simultaneous excitation with different frequencies leads to cascade four-magnon events, which ultimately results well-defined combs. Their spectral w...

A mechanism is proposed for manipulating the magnetic state of a helical spin density wave using a current. It is shown that a current through a bulk metal with a helical spin density wave induces a spin transfer torque, which gives rise to a rotation of the order parameter. The use of spin transfer torque to manipulate the magnetization in bulk systems does not suffer from the obstacles seen f...

The relative importance of interface, volume, and thermal scattering in spin-dependent hot-electron transmission of magnetic trilayers is quantified. While interfaces produce significant attenuation (factor 2.2 per interface), the spin asymmetry is dominated by volume scattering. Extracted thermal attenuation lengths (130 A at 300 K for Ni80Fe20) show that thermal spin-wave scattering is strong...

We study antiferromagnetic spin chains with unfrustrated long-range interactions that decay as power laws with exponent b , using the spin-wave approximation. We find for sufficiently large spin S that the Neel order is stable at T50 for b,3, and survives up to a finite Neel temperature for b,2, validating the spin-wave approach in these regimes. We estimate the critical values of S and T for t...

While the equation-of-motion coupled-cluster (EOM-CC) method is capable of describing certain multiconfigurational wave functions within a single-reference framework (e.g., open-shell type excited states, doublet radicals, etc.), it may fail in cases of more extensive degeneracy, e.g., bond breaking and polyradicals. This work presents an extension of the EOM-CC approach to these chemically imp...
