Three-loop renormalization group analysis of a complex model with stable fixed point: Critical exponents up to $ε^3$ and $ε^4$

Abstract

The complete analysis of a model with three quartic coupling constants associated with an O(2N)--symmetric, a cubic, and a tetragonal interactions is carried out within the three-loop approximation of the renormalization-group (RG) approach in $D=4-2ε$ dimensions. Perturbation expansions for RG functions are calculated using dimensional regularization and the minimal subtraction (MS) scheme. It is shown that for $N\ge 2$ the model does possess a stable fixed point in three dimensional space of coupling constants, in accordance with predictions made earlier on the base of the lower-order approximations. Numerical estimate for critical (marginal) value of the order parameter dimensionality $N_c$ is given using Padé-Borel summation of the corresponding $ε$--expansion series obtained. It is observed that two-fold degeneracy of the eigenvalue exponents in the one-loop approximation for the unique stable fixed point leads to the substantial decrease of the accuracy expected within three loops and may cause powers of $\sqrtε$ to appear in the expansions. The critical exponents $γ$ and $η$ are calculated for all fixed points up to $ε^3$ and $ε^4$, respectively, and processed by the Borel summation method modified with a conformal mapping. For the unique stable fixed point the magnetic susceptibility exponent $γ$ for N=2 is found to differ in third order in $ε$ from that of an O(4)--symmetric point. Qualitative comparison of the results given by $ε$--expansion, three-dimensional RG analysis, non-perturbative RG arguments, and experimental data is performed.

Quasiperiodic functions theory and the superlattice potentials for a two-dimensional electron gas

We consider Novikov problem of the classification of level curves of quasiperiodic functions on the plane and its connection with the conductivity of two-dimensional electron gas in the presence of both orthogonal magnetic field and the superlattice potentials of special type. We show that the modulation techniques used in the recent papers on the 2D heterostructures permit to obtain general quasiperiodic potentials for 2D electron gas and consider the asymptotic limit of conductivity when $τ\rightarrow \infty$. Using the theory of quasiperiodic functions we introduce here the topological characteristics of such potentials observable in the conductivity. The corresponding characteristics are the direct analog of the "topological numbers" introduced previously in the conductivity of normal metals.

Random-Matrix Theory of Quantum Size Effects on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance in Metal Particles

The distribution function of the local density of states is computed exactly for the Wigner-Dyson ensemble of random Hamiltonians. In the absence of time-reversal symmetry, precise agreement is obtained with the "supersymmetry" theory by Efetov and Prigodin of the NMR lineshape in disordered metal particles. Upon breaking time-reversal symmetry, the variance of the Knight shift in the smallest particles is reduced by a universal factor of 2/3. ***To be published in Physical Review B.****

Andreev Reflection In Ferromagnet-Superconductor Junctions

The transport properties of a ferromagnet-superconductor (FS) junction are studied in a scattering formulation. Andreev reflection at the FS interface is strongly affected by the exchange interaction in the ferromagnet. The conductance G_FS of a ballistic point contact between F and S can be both larger or smaller than the value G_FN with the superconductor in the normal state, depending on the ratio of the exchange and Fermi energies. If the ferromagnet contains a tunnel barrier (I), the conductance G_FIFS exhibits resonances which do not vanish in linear response -- in contrast to the Tomasch oscillations for non-ferromagnetic materials.
