Multiphonon anharmonic decay of a quantum mode

A nonperturbative theory of multiphonon anharmonic transitions between energy levels of a local mode is presented. It is shown that the rate of transitions rearranges near the critical level number $n_{cr}$: at smaller $n$ the process slows down, while at larger $n$ it accelerates in time, causing a jump-like loss of energy followed by the generation of phonon bursts. Depending on parameters, phonons are emitted in pairs, triplets etc.

Unrestricted slave-boson mean-field approximation for the two-dimensional Hubbard model

The Kotliar-Ruckenstein slave-boson scheme is used to allow for an unrestricted variation of the bosonic and fermionic fields on the saddle-point level. Various inhomogeneous solutions, such as spin polarons and domain walls are discussed within the two-dimensional Hubbard model and compared with results of unrestricted Hartree-Fock (HF) calculations. We find that the present approach drastically reduces the polarization of these states and leads to increased delocalized wave functions as compared to the HF model. The interaction between two spin polarons turns out to be attractive over a wide range of the on-site repulsion U. In addition we obtain the crossover from vertical to diagonal domain walls at a higher value of U than predicted by HF.

Nonlinear quantum dynamics of strong vibration: relaxation jumps and phonon bursts

We examine quantum decay of localized vibrations in anharmonic crystal lattice. The theory which describes two-phonon anharmonic relaxation can be applied both to local modes associated with substitutional impurity and to intrinsic local modes (ILM) in perfect lattices. It is found that for sufficiently high initial excitations relaxation of vibrations is non-exponential, it demonstrates explosion-like behavior at specific stages of evolution. The course of the relaxation is determined by the initial value of energy, temperature, direction of vibrations. As an example we present the results of calculations of the relaxation of an odd local (impurity) mode in a simple cubic lattice and discuss the influence of quantum fluctuations on the stability of the ILM in one-dimensional monatomic chain.

Stepwise quantum decay of self-localized solitons

The two-phonon decay of self-localized soliton in a one-dimensional monatomic anharmonic lattice caused by cubic anharmonicity is considered. It is shown that the decay takes place with emission of phonon bursts. The average rate of emission of phonons is of the order of vibrational quantum per vibrational period. Characteristic time of the relaxation is determined by the quantum anharmonicity parameter; this time may vary from a few (quantum lattices, large anharmonicity) to thousands (ordinary lattices, small anharmonicity) of vibrational periods.
