Abstract

Iron sesquilayers grown at room temperature on W(110) exhibit a pronounced coercivity maximum near a coverage of 1.5 atomic monolayers. On lattices which faithfully reproduce the morphology of the real films, a kinetic Ising model is utilized to simulate the domain-wall motion. Simulations reveal that the dynamics is dominated by the second-layer islands, which act as pinning centers. The simulated dependencies of the coercivity on the film coverage, as well as on the temperature and the frequency of the applied field, are very similar to those measured in experiments. Unlike previous micromagnetic models, the presented approach provides insight into the dynamics of the domain-wall motion and clearly reveals the role of thermal fluctuations.

The $1/r^2$ Integrable system: The Universal Hamiltonian for Quantum Chaos

We summarize recent work showing that the $1/r^2$ model of interacting particles in 1-dimension is a universal Hamiltonian for quantum chaotic systems. The problem is analyzed in terms of random matrices and of the evolution of their eigenvalues under changes of parameters. The robustness of bulk space-time correlations of a many particle system to changing boundary conditions is suggested to be at the root of the universality. The explicit density-density correlation functions of the $1/r^2$ model, now available through the above mapping at two values of the coupling constant, are interpreted in the light of Bethe's {\it Ansatz}, giving a vivid picture of the fractionalization of bare particles or holes into ``quark'' like Bethe quasi-particles and holes.

Super Lax Pairs and Infinite Symmetries in The $1/r^2$ System

We present an algebraic structure that provides an interesting and novel link between supersymmetry and quantum integrability. This structure underlies two classes of models that are exactly solvable in 1-dimension and belong to the $1/r^2 $ family of interactions. The algebra consists of the commutation between a ``Super- Hamiltonian'', and two other operators, in a Hilbert space that is an enlargement of the original one by introducing fermions. The commutation relations reduce to quantal Ordered Lax equations when projected to the original subspace, and to a statement about the ``Harmonic Lattice Potential'' structure of the Lax operator. These in turn lead to a highly automatic proof of the integrability of these models. In the case of the discrete $SU(n)-1/r^2$ model, the `` Super-Hamiltonian'' is again an $SU(m)-1/r^2$ model with a related $m$, providing an interesting hierarchy of models.

What Does The Korringa Ratio Measure?

We present an analysis of the Korringa ratio in a dirty metal, emphasizing the case where a Stoner enhancement of the uniform susceptibilty is present. We find that the relaxation rates are significantly enhanced by disorder, and that the inverse problem of determining the bare density of states from a study of the change of the Knight shift and relaxation rates with some parameter, such as pressure, has rather constrained solutions, with the disorder playing an important role. Some preliminary applications to the case of chemical substitution in the Rb$_{3-x}$K$_x $C$_{60}$ family of superconductors is presented and some other relevant systems are mentioned.
