  08.16.2004 - Vibrations in crystal lattice plays big role in high temperature superconductors
The pairing is made possible by interactions between the electrons and the metal atoms vibrating in place in the crystal lattice.
The alternating spin arrangement that characterizes spin-Peiels behavior is identical to the antiferromagnetic situation in high temperature superconductors.
The team believes, then, that the mutual feedback of the magnetic and electron-phonon interaction is critical to the high temperature superconducting state.

  Ferromagnetic interaction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If the energy is expressed as the sum of all pairs, i, j, over an interaction term J(i,j), times the spin of atom i times the spin of atom j, J<0 is a ferromagnetic interaction (aligning spins leads to a lower total energy and is thus favorable energetically, although unfavorable entropically).
J>0 is an antiferromagnetic interaction acting to anti-align neighboring spins.
The combination of both can lead to spin glass behavior.

The origin of the internal field Hi is the exchange interaction, which reflects the electrostatic Coulomb repulsion of electrons on neighbouring atoms and the Pauli principle, which forbids two electrons from entering the same quantum state.
In a roughly half-filled band the exchange is antiferromagnetic, whereas in a nearly-filled or nearly empty band it tends to be ferromagnetic (Fig 6.6)  Fig 6.6 Electron delocalization in d-bands which are half-full, or almost empty or almost full.
Elements in the middle of the series Cr, V are antiferromagnetic because the 3d band is approximately half-full.

Two applications in condensed matter physics are given as examples: The interaction of an n-orbital model of fermions in the limit of large n is brought to block-diagonal form, and the generation of the effective attractive two-electron interaction due to the elimination of electron-phonon interaction is given.
Interactions small in comparison to this strong interaction introduce anisotropies into the SO(5)-space and determine whether it is favorable for the system to be superconducting or antiferromagnetic.

Their periodicity as a function of flux is doubled for strong enough repulsive interactions because electrons cannot hop coherently between the chains and have to travel along the full edge of the Moebius ladder, thus encircling the flux twice.
The interplay of topology and interactions is shown to lead to interesting finite-size effects on the odd harmonics of the persistent current.
The competition between the entropy carried by the holons and that carried by the backflow of the spinons gives rise to an unusual temperature and doping dependence of the thermopower which is qualitatively similar to that observed in the normal state of high- T c superconductors and certain quasi-one-dimensional organic conductors.

This suggests a competition between two interactions: a weak antiferromagnetic interaction due to superexchange, and a ferromagnetic interaction due to an indirect exchange mechanism mediated by free carriers.
When a divalent dopant such as Mn substitutes for a Group III atom such as Ga, a hole is introduced; this is the reason GaAs becomes ferromagnetic while ZnSe does not.

 Correlations in Arrays of Superconducting Rings
Two nearby but electrically isolated rings can interact magnetically; this interaction favors an antiparallel alignment of moments and is thus analogous to an antiferromagnetic spin-spin interaction.
This "antiferromagnetic" configuration of the two spins is thus especially stable.
We have searched for antiferromagnetic correlations between moments in the rings arrays using a variety of techniques, including SQUID susceptometry and scanning Hall probe microscopy.

Antiferromagnetic exchange and spin-fluctuation pairing mechanisms in cuprates
We have proved, by a direct calculation of these functions without any decoupling, that the pairing is mediated by the conventional antiferromagnetic exchange interaction J originating from the interband hopping, as in the t-J model, and is driven by the lowering of kinetic energy.
The self-energy derived in the second order of the intraband hopping describes the spin-fluctuation d-wave pairing induced by the kinematic interaction.

Antiferromagnetic Exchange Interaction among the Three Spins Placed in an Isosceles Triangular Configuration in 2,4-Dimethoxy-1,3,5-benzenetriyltris(N-tert-butyl nitroxide)
Temperature dependence of molar susceptibility for a microcrystalline sample obtained by SQUID measurements suggested that the antiferromagnetic interaction produces a doublet ground state in triradical 3.
In triradical 3, therefore, the ground spin state would be a doublet with the stronger antiferromagnetic interaction between the spins at 1 and 3 positions and 3 and 5 positions polarizing the ferromagnetic alignment of the 1 and 5 spins, providing the first demonstration of an organic triradical showing competing interactions.

The elementary excitations from the magnetic ground state are spin waves (magnons) which are described by a dispersion relation E = Dswq2 in the ferromagnetic caase.
When ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions compete, and cannot all be satisfied simultaneously, the system is said to be frustrated.
In disordered and amorphous solids, frustrated antiferromagnetic interactions, or competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions may give rise to spin freezing in random directions.

 Magnetic interactions and the co-operative Jahn-Teller effect in KCuF3
For each system, the total energy difference between ferro- and antiferromagnetic states at the same geometry is ‘normalized’ to -1, and differences in the various components of the total energy between the two phases defined relative to this.
In the antiferromagnetic states, there is a spin polarization of the fluorine ion, since the spatial orbitals are no longer constrained to be orthogonal, and thus the exchange repulsion may be reduced by shifting alpha density towards the Cu ion with beta polarization, and vice versa.
For antiferromagnetic superexchange contacts, the lowering of kinetic energy is the dominant contribution, while in the equivalent ferromagnetic interaction in orbitally-ordered planes, the electron-nuclear repulsion predominates.

A linear array of such spins 1/2 coupled by antiferromagnetic interaction is perhaps the most fundamental macroscopic quantum system.
However, it is possible to “switch off” the macroscopic quantum behaviour of the spin 1/2 chain: applying a large magnetic field restores the classical individual of compass needles.
The entirely altered excitation spectrum at large magnetic fields reflects the different character of the ferromagnetic and the antiferromagnetic groundstate: the continuous excitation spectrum at zero field is due to free spinon pairs, the fingerprint of the macroscopic quantum ground state of the antiferromagnetic spin 1/2 chain.

 ACNS Conference 2004
For most heavy fermion compounds, which are based on Ce, Yb, or U, the nonmagnetic heavy Fermi liquid ground state is believed to be associated with the Kondo effect arising from an antiferromagnetic exchange interaction between conduction electron spins and magnetic moments of the R or A ions with partially-filled f-electron shells (Kondo lattice).
This suggests that magnetic dipole moment fluctuations are responsible for the NFL behavior and mediate the pairing of superconducting electrons in at least some of these materials.
Heavy fermion behavior has been observed in several Pr compounds with nonmagnetic Pr ionic ground states in the crystalline electric field that appears to be due to the interaction between the charges of the conduction electrons and Pr electric quadrupole moments.

The spins are coupled to the lattice degrees of freedom (ions, or phonons) in that the antiferromagnetic interaction (superexchange) between neighbouring spins depends on the separation of the Cu ions on which they reside.
In the second half of 1998 we moved onto the Peierls-Heisenberg model of spins interacting with phonons (the lattice).
The advantage of the technique is that it keeps the size of the truncated Hilbert space fixed as the lattice is grown while retaining excellent accuracy for the eigenvalues and wavefunctions, e.g., for the spin-1 antiferromagnetic chain, the infinite lattice ground state energy density was found to machine precision.

Due to random distribution of manganese in a Ag(Mn) alloy, competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interaction appears, yielding magnetic frustration and the appearance of a spin glass phase at low temperature.
For an optimum doping x, a ferromagnetic order is established, and large changes of their electrical resistance with an applied magnetic field are observed; a magnetoresistance which can be tailored by adding oriented grain boundaries in thin films of these materials.

Since the copper triangles are coupled via hydrogen bonds, which naively are assumed to be weak exchange pathways, one expects that the chain shows a pronounced plateau at 1/3 of the saturation magnetization.
The observed magnetization and susceptibility curves are successfully interpreted by a theoretical model, in which the inter- and intra-triangle exchange parameters are of similar size.
For this material, as result of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and a staggered g-tensor, the ground state is characterized by an anisotropic field induced spin excitation gap and a staggered magnetization.
