A far-from-equilibrium fluctuation-dissipation relation for an Ising-Glauber-like model

Abstract

We derive an exact expression of the response function to an infinitesimal magnetic field for an Ising-Glauber-like model with arbitrary exchange couplings. The result is expressed in terms of thermodynamic averages and does not depend on the initial conditions or on the dimension of the space. The response function is related to time-derivatives of a complicated correlation function and so the expression is a generalisation of the equilibrium fluctuation-dissipation theorem in the special case of this model. Correspondence with the Ising-Glauber model is discussed. A discrete-time version of the relation is implemented in Monte Carlo simulations and then used to study the aging regime of the ferromagnetic two-dimensional Ising-Glauber model quenched from the paramagnetic phase to the ferromagnetic one. Our approach has the originality to give direct access to the response function and the fluctuation-dissipation ratio.

Distinguishing d-wave from highly anisotropic s-wave superconductors

Systematic impurity doping in the Cu-O plane of the hole-doped cuprate superconductors may allow one to decide between unconvention al ("d-wave") and anisotropic conventional ("s-wave") states as possible candidates for the order parameter in these materials. We show that potential scattering of any strength always increases the gap minima of such s-wave states, leading to activated behavior in temperature with characteristic impurity concentration dependence in observable quantities such as the penetration depth. A magnetic component to the scattering may destroy the energy gap and give rise to conventional gapless behavior, or lead to a nonmonotonic dependence of the gap on impurity concentration. We discuss how experiments constrain this analysis.

Order Parameters, Broken Symmetry, and Topology

We introduce the theoretical framework we use to study the bewildering variety of phases in condensed--matter physics. We emphasize the importance of the breaking of symmetries, and develop the idea of an order parameter through several examples. We discuss elementary excitations and the topological theory of defects.

Stability of the two-dimensional Bose gases in the resonant regime

We consider a two-dimensional Bose gas formed in a planar atomic trap in conditions where the two-dimensional scattering length exceeds all other microscopic length scales in the system and, accordingly, the gas parameter assumes relatively high values. We show that, unlike in the three-dimensional case, for sufficiently low areal densities the two-dimensional gas remains stable against collapse even in the resonant regime. Furthermore, we evaluate the three-body recombination rate that sets the upper limit for the life-time of two-dimensional resonant atomic condensate.
