Magneto-electronic transport theory in ferromagnets above the Curie temperature and in semiconductors

Abstract

Quantitative differences of Lagrange multipliers between standard Fermi-Dirac statistics (FDS) and Ionization energy ($E_I$) based FDS (iFDS) are analyzed in detail to obtain reasonably accurate interpretations without violating the standard FDS. The resistivity and Hall-resistance models in 1D, 2D and 3D are also derived to illustrate the transport phenomena in semiconducting manganites. It is shown via calculation that the charge carriers in these materials seem to be strongly correlated in term of electron-ion attraction or simply, fermions in those materials are somewhat gapped due to Coulomb attraction. This Coulomb attraction naturally captures the polaronic effect in manganites. $E_I$ is found to be the only essential parameter that predicts $ρ(T,doping,pressure,magnetic field)$ quite accurately. However, this model as will be pointed out, is not suitable for metals with free-electrons and strong electron-phonon scattering. It is to be noted that iFDS and $ρ(T,doping,pressure,magnetic field)$ model are only valid in the paramagnetic region of ferromagnetic manganites and other doped-semiconductors. Recent X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) studies have indicated that there exists a critical crossover from Mn(2+) to Mn(3+) depending upon Mn's concentrations in (Ga(1-x)Mnx)As diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS). Such phenomenon occuring at certain critical concentration directly point towards the applicability of $E_I$ based Fermi-liquid (iFLT). As such, iFDS is also discussed with respect to DMS above Curie temperature.

Universal sampling of spin systems across quenched disorder

Statistical physics extracts macroscopic laws by averaging over the many microscopic degrees of freedom of a system. Disordered systems demand a second and far harder average, one over the quenched randomness itself. The classic analytical routes, the replica and cavity methods, become uncontrolled outside mean-field or tree-like limits, and conventional numerical algorithms like parallel tempering require expensive, independent equilibration for every disorder realization. In this work, we introduce a universal neural variational framework that amortizes inference across the disorder ensemble, eliminating both the need for per-instance Markov chain equilibration and the cost of retraining instance-specific variational ansatzes. Built on an encoder-decoder Transformer architecture, after training once, it produces an explicit approximation to the Boltzmann distribution given previously unseen disorder realizations without further optimization. We validate this framework on 2D Edwards-Anderson models, and apply it to the random-bond Ising model, successfully capturing the Binder cumulant crossings near the Nishimori multicritical point. These results shift the object of variational inference from the single instance to the disorder ensemble, opening a route to frustrated many-body systems where instance-by-instance computation is prohibitive.

Information-Theoretic Characterization of Macroscopic Chaos Emerging from the Chemical Master Equation

Open chemical reaction networks exhibit stochastic concentration dynamics at finite system sizes, whereas their macroscopic limit is governed by deterministic rate equations that can display chaos. In this Letter, we show theoretically that a rate of information loss constructed from two-time mutual information recovers the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy in the deterministic limit. We verify this result through numerical simulations of a Markov jump process for a three-species system involving seven reactions.

Orientational order on non-orientable domains

We study the statistical properties of passive and active many-body systems with orientational degrees of freedom on non-orientable domains. By rephrasing topological constraints as non-local symmetry relations on an orientable double-cover, we show that non-orientability eliminates global rotational soft modes without acting like an external field. In a passive XY model, this results in topological caging, where orientational fluctuations that exhibit conventional diffusive behavior on a torus saturate on a Klein bottle to a finite value that we compute exactly in the thermodynamic limit. In models of active self-propelled particles with orientational degrees of freedom, topological caging persists despite continuously changing interaction neighborhoods. In an active Ising spin model, non-orientability enforces the coexistence of ordered anti-parallel domains with vanishing global polar order, a state that is absent on orientable domains.
