β¦ Synopsis
Spatially extended localized spins can interact via indirect exchange interaction through Friedel oscillations in the Fermi sea. In arrays of localized spins such interaction can lead to a magnetically ordered phase. Without external magnetic field such a phase is well understood via a ''two-impurity'' Kondo model. Here we employ non-equilibrium transport spectroscopy to investigate the role of the orbital phase of conduction electrons on the magnetic state of a spin lattice. We show experimentally that even tiniest perpendicular magnetic field can influence the magnitude of the interspin magnetic exchange.

The d-vector in possible spin triplet superconductor Na x CoO 2 Γ yH 2 O is microscopically analyzed on the basis of the multi-orbital Hubbard model including the atomic spin-orbit coupling. As a result of the perturbation theory, it is shown that the d-vector is parallel to the plane when the pairi
In the latest twenty years, the search for a source of spinpolarized electrons is an area of current active research [1][2][3][4][5][6][7], due to the feasibility of spin polarization and spin filtering within a two-dimensional electron gas which was proposed by Papp and Peeters [8,9] based on the c
