New Mechanism of Quantum Oscillations in the Suprcpnducing Mixed State (Hc1<<B<<Hc2)

We argue that inhomogeneity inherent to the presence of periodic supercurrents in the vortex lattice sorts excitations by energies into the ones that are spatially localized and those that perform motion along large Larmour orbits. This energy threshold results in a new mechanism for the de Haas-van Alphen oscillations which enhances oscillations at B<<Hc2, even for an isotropic superconductor with a constant gap. We suggest that the mechanism is of a general character and can cause the slow decay of the de Haas-van Alphen effect when the field, B, decreases below Hc2.

On the Origin of Quantum Oscillations in the Mixed State of Anisotropic Superconductor

For the vortex lattice in an anisotropic superconductor with well-separated cores (Hc1<<B<<Hc2) it is shown that sizable de Haas-van Alphen oscillations are caused by the levels` crossing of the energy threshold separating localized and extended states of excitations moving in the average magnetic field,B.

Manganites at Low Temperatures and Light Doping:Band Approach and Percolation

A tight-band model is employed for the $e_{2g}$-orbitals in manganites. It is shown that a large intraatomic Hund's coupling, $J_H$ and the resulting double-exchange mechanism lead to antiferromagnetic ordering along one of the cubic axis stabilized by the cooperative JT effect which further decreases the band energy of electrons. As a result, LaMnO$_3$ is a band insulator built of 2D ferromagnetic layers. The critical concentration $x_c\simeq 0.16$, for onset of ferromagnetic and metallic behavior at low temperatures in La$_{1-x}$Sr$_x$MnO$_3$ and the phase transition are treated in the percolation approach.
