    First-Principles Evaluation of the Dzyaloshinskii--Moriya Interaction

    Full text link
    We review recent developments of formulations to calculate the Dzyaloshinskii--Moriya (DM) interaction from first principles. In particular, we focus on three approaches. The first one evaluates the energy change due to the spin twisting by directly calculating the helical spin structure. The second one employs the spin gauge field technique to perform the derivative expansion with respect to the magnetic moment. This gives a clear picture that the DM interaction can be represented as the spin current in the equilibrium within the first order of the spin-orbit couplings. The third one is the perturbation expansion with respect to the exchange couplings and can be understood as the extension of the Ruderman--Kittel--Kasuya--Yosida (RKKY) interaction to the noncentrosymmetric spin-orbit systems. By calculating the DM interaction for the typical chiral ferromagnets Mn1x_{1-x}Fex_xGe and Fe1x_{1-x}Cox_xGe, we discuss how these approaches work in actual systems.Comment: invited review pape

    Doppler shift picture of the Dzyaloshinskii--Moriya interaction

    Full text link
    We present a physical picture for the emergence of the Dzyaloshinskii--Moriya (DM) interaction based on the idea of the Doppler shift by an intrinsic spin current induced by spin--orbit interaction under broken inversion symmetry. The picture is confirmed by a rigorous effective Hamiltonian theory, which reveals that the DM coefficient is given by the magnitude of the intrinsic spin current. The expression is directly applicable to first principles calculations and clarifies the relation between the interaction and the electronic band structures. Quantitative agreement with experimental results is obtained for the skyrmion compounds Mn1x_{1-x}Fex_xGe and Fe1x_{1-x}Cox_xGe.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures; v2 references adde

    Dynamic estimation of emittance growth with tune depression and nonlinear field energy factor during longitudinal bunch compression for heavy ion inertial fusion driver

    In general, the radial matched beam is according to an equilibrium condition, and depends on the radial (transverse) confinement force and the ratio of repulsion forces between the space charge potential and the thermal pressure [1-3]. During longitudinal bunch compression, parameters of charged particle beams are changed, and the beam current is also increased due to the increase of the charge density..

    Rotating string in doubled geometry with generalized isometries

    Full text link
    In this paper, we first construct a globally well-defined non-geometric background which contains several branes in type II string theory compactified on a 7-torus. One of these branes is called 5^2_2, which is a codimension-2 object and has a non-trivial monodromy given by a T-duality transformation. The geometry near the 5^2_2-brane is shown to approach the non-geometric background constructed in arXiv:1004.2521. We then construct the solution of a fundamental string rotating along a non-trivial cycle in the 5^2_2 background. Although the background is not axisymmetric in the usual sense, we show that it is actually axisymmetric as a doubled geometry by explicitly finding a generalized Killing vector. We perform a generalized coordinate transformation into a system where the generalized isometry is manifest, and show that the winding and momentum charges of the string solution is explicitly conserved in that system.Comment: 32 pages, 5 figures; v2: typos corrected, to appear in Physical Review D; v3 minor errors fixed, improvements and a reference added to section 4.

    SOLAR-TERRESTRIAL EVENTS IN FEBRUARY-MARCH 1986

    Get PDF
    1989-11A brief summary of significant solar-terrestrial events occurring in February-March 1986 is presented. Unusually high solar-terrestrial activity was observed in early February 1986. A series of large solar flares took place within the active region of NOAA #4711 during the period 3-7 February 1986. A geomagnetic storm which took place at 13:12 UT on 6 February reached its maximum phase through 8-9 February. The minimum Dst of -312 nT was recorded on early 9 February. It took more than a month to show full recovery. This magnetic storm will be a good example to study various terrestrial events in association with high solar-flare activity. March 1986 was another important interval because extensive observations of comet Halley were performed. Large-scale solar wind structures in the minimum activity phase of the sun and their influences on plasma-tail activity of the comet will be of interest.This special issue contains contributed papers presented at the symposium "Solar Terrestrial Events in February-March 1986" (January 19, 1989, Nagoya)departmental bulletin pape

    Cloud optical thickness and effective particle radius derived from transmitted solar radiation measurements : Comparison with cloud radar observations

    Get PDF
    A method is presented for determining the optical thickness and effective particle radius of stratiform clouds containing liquid water drops in the absence of drizzle from transmitted solar radiation measurements. The procedure compares measurements of the cloud transmittance from the ground at water-absorbing and nonabsorbing wavelengths with lookup tables of the transmittance precomputed for plane-parallel, vertically homogeneous clouds. The optical thickness derived from the cloud transmittance may be used to retrieve vertical profiles of cloud microphysics in combination with the radar reflectivity factor. To do this, we also present an algorithm for solving the radar equation with a constraint of the optical thickness at the visible wavelength. Observations of clouds were made in August and September 2003 at Koganei, Tokyo, Japan, using a PREDE i-skyradiometer and a 95-GHz cloud radar Super Polarimetric Ice Crystal Detection and Explication Radar (SPIDER). The optical thickness and effective radius of water clouds were derived from the i-skyradiometer. Then, the vertical profile of the effective radius was retrieved from SPIDER, using the optical thickness determined from the i-skyradiometer. We found that the effective radii derived by using these two instruments were in good agreement
