We analyse in detail the role of surface relaxations on the spin transition phenomenon through an Ising-like model solved in the inhomogeneous mean field approach.

Recently, a computational model has been proposed of the social integration, as described in sociological terms by Blau. In this model, actors praise or critique each other, and these actions influence their social status and raise negative or positive emotions. The role of a self-deprecating strategy of actors with high social status has also been discussed there. Here, we develop a mean field approach, where the active and passive roles (praising and being praised, etc.) are decoupled. The phase transition from friendly to hostile emotions has been reproduced, similarly to the previously applied purely computational approach. For both phases, we investigate the time dependence of the distribution of social status. There we observe a diffusive spread, which — after some transient time — appears to be limited from below or from above, depending on the phase. As a consequence, the mean status flows.

We have applied a generalized mean-field approach and quantum Monte-Carlo technique for the model 2D S = 1 (pseudo)spin system to find the ground state phase with its evolution under application of the (pseudo)magnetic field. The comparison of the two methods allows us to clearly demonstrate the role of quantum effects. Special attention is given to the role played by an effective single-ion anisotropy ("on-site correlation").

AbstractAn update is given on the current status of solar and stellar dynamos. At present, it is still unclear why stellar cycle frequencies increase with rotation frequency in such a way that their ratio increases with stellar activity. The small-scale dynamo is expected to operate in spite of a small value of the magnetic Prandtl number in stars. Whether or not the global magnetic activity in stars is a shallow or deeply rooted phenomenon is another open question. Progress in demonstrating the presence and importance of magnetic helicity fluxes in dynamos is briefly reviewed, and finally the role of nonlocality is emphasized in modeling stellar dynamos using the mean-field approach. On the other hand, direct numerical simulations have now come to the point where the models show solar-like equatorward migration that can be compared with observations and that need to be understood theoretically.

The [FeL n (NCS)2] iron(II) spin-crossover complexes cover a wide range of magnetic behaviour. Owing to the large number of known structural and magnetic data, this series is perfectly adapted to the investigation of the structure–magnetic properties relationship. In this paper we propose a new structural parameter, denoted Θ, which is used to correlate the features of the spin-crossover phenomena with the distortion of the iron environment. In particular, this parameter has shed light on the role of such distortion on the limiting temperature of photo-inscription, known as T(LIESST). A strong dependence of T(LIESST) on Θ is clearly demonstrated. The stronger the distortion the higher the T(LIESST) value. This structure–property dependence represents, for instance, a powerful tool to estimate the highest potential T(LIESST) value for a series of complexes. This limit in the [FeL n (NCS)2] series is estimated to be around 120 K, which probably prevents their use in any industrial application.

We discuss the mean-field instanton method for calculating decay rates of the sponteneous fission. Based on our recent work, we stress the role of the velocity-momentum relations which make the instanton action minimal, and the choice of a time-even density matrix and a time-odd hermitian operator as special variables making the adiabatic limit transparent. We also present an analytic study of a simple model of barrier tunneling, which illustrates the importance of the velocity-momentum constraints.
