Quasars around the Seyfert Galaxy NGC3516

We report redshift measurements of 5 X-ray emitting blue stellar objects (BSO's) located less than 12 arc min from the X-ray Seyfert galaxy, NGC 3516. We find these quasars to be distributed along the minor axis of the galaxy and to show a very good correlation between their redshift and their angular distance from NGC 3516. Moreover the redshifts of these 5 quasars are: 0.33, 0.69, 0.93, 1.40 and 2.10 which are very near the peaks of the redshift periodicity distribution (i.e. z=0.3, 0.6, 0.96, 1.41 and 1.96). All these observed properties strikingly confirm, around this single example of a Seyfert, the composite picture derived from previous physical associations of quasars with low redshift, active galaxies.

Phase Separation in Electronic Models for Manganites

The Kondo lattice Hamiltonian with ferromagnetic Hund's coupling as a model for manganites is investigated. The classical limit for the spin of the (localized) $t_{2g}$ electrons is analyzed on lattices of dimension 1,2,3 and $\infty$ using several numerical methods. The phase diagram at low temperature is presented. A regime is identified where phase separation occurs between hole undoped antiferromagnetic and hole-rich ferromagnetic regions. Experimental consequences of this novel regime are discussed. Regions of incommensurate spin correlations have also been found. Estimations of the critical temperature in 3D are compatible with experiments.

The Ferromagnetic Kondo Model for Manganites: Phase Diagram and Charge Segregation Effects

The phase diagram of the ferromagnetic Kondo model for manganites is investigated using computational techniques. In clusters of dimensions 1 and 2, Monte Carlo simulations in the limit where the localized spins are classical show a rich low temperature phase diagram with three dominant regions: (i) a ferromagnetic phase, (ii) phase separation between hole-poor antiferromagnetic and hole-rich ferromagnetic domains, and (iii) a phase with incommensurate spin correlations. Possible experimental consequences of the regime of phase separation are discussed. Studies using the Lanczos algorithm and the Density Matrix Renormalization Group method applied to chains with localized spin 1/2 (with and without Coulombic repulsion for the mobile electrons) and spin 3/2 degrees of freedom give results in excellent agreement with those in the spin localized classical limit. The Dynamical Mean Field ($D=\infty$) approximation was also applied to the same model. At large Hund coupling phase separation and ferromagnetism were identified, again in good agreement with results in low dimensions. In addition, a Monte Carlo study of spin correlations allowed us to estimate the critical temperature for ferromagnetism $T_c^{FM}$ in 3 dimensional clusters. It is concluded that $T_c^{FM}$ is compatible with current experimental results.
