In our publication from eight years ago (Kogan, E. 2011, vol. 84, p. 115119), we calculated Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction between two magnetic impurities adsorbed on graphene at zero temperature. We show in this short paper that the approach based on Matsubara formalism and perturbation theory for the thermodynamic potential in the imaginary time and coordinate representation which was used then, can be easily generalized, and calculate RKKY interaction between the magnetic impurities at finite temperature.

In our publication from 8 years ago1 we calculated RKKY interaction between two magnetic impurities in graphene. The consideration was based on the perturbation theory for the thermodynamic potential in the imaginary time representation and direct evaluation of real space spin susceptibility. Only the case of zero temperature was considered. We show in this short notice that the approach can be easily generalized to the case of finite temperature.

At finite temperature, a Fermi gas can have states that simultaneously hold a particle and a hole with a finite probability. This gives rise to a new set of diagrams that are absent at zero temperature. The so called "anomalous" diagram is just one of the new diagrams. We have already studied the contribution of these new diagrams to the thermodynamic potential (Phys. Lett.A224, 127 (1996)). Here we continue that work and calculate their effect on the specific heat. We will also calculate the finite temperature contribution of the ring diagrams. We conclude that the ln T behavior of the specific heat due to exchange gets canceled by the new contribution of the new diagrams, and that screening is not essential to resolve this anomaly.

We review interesting results achieved in recent studies on the holographic Lifshitz field theory. The holographic Lifshitz field theory at finite temperature is described by a Lifshitz black brane geometry. The holographic renormalization together with the regularity of the background metric allows to reproduce thermodynamic quantities of the dual Lifshitz field theory where the Bekenstein–Hawking entropy appears as the renormalized thermal entropy. All results satisfy the desired black brane thermodynamics. In addition, hydrodynamic properties are further reviewed in which the holographic retarded Green functions of the current and momentum operators are studied. In a nonrelativistic Lifshitz field theory, intriguingly, there exists a massive quasinormal mode at finite temperature whose effective mass is linearly proportional to temperature. Even at zero temperature and in the nonzero momentum limit, a quasinormal mode still remains unlike the dual relativistic field theory. Finally, we account for how adding impurity modifies the electric property of the nonrelativistic Lifshitz theory.

We extend our previous studies [PhysRevD.90.054509, PhysRevD.92.094510] of the pion quasiparticle in the low-temperature phase of two-flavor QCD with support from chiral effective theory. This includes the analysis performed on a finite temperature ensemble of size 20 × 643 at T ≈ 151MeV and a lighter zero-temperature pion mass mπ ≈ 185 MeV. Furthermore, we investigate the Gell-Mann–Oakes-Renner relation at finite temperature and the Dey-Eletsky-Ioffe mixing theorem at finite quark mass.

We study the effect of a finite temperature on the correlation function of quantum magnetic vortex lines in the framework of the (3 + 1)-dimensional Abelian Higgs model. The vortex energy is inferred from the large distance behavior of these correlation functions. For large straight vortices of length L, we obtain that the energy is proportional to TL2 differently from the zero temperature result which is proportional to L. The case of closed strings is also analyzed. For T = 0, we evaluate the correlation function and energy of a large ring. Finite closed vortices do not exist as genuine excitations for any temperature.

We theoretically study the Ruderman-Kittle-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction between two magnetic impurities embedded on the (001) surface of a topological crystalline insulator (TCI), using the Green’s function method. Highly anisotropic band structure of TCI, gives rise to a highly anisotropic magnetic exchange coupling. We show that the interaction is oscillatory; the amplitude and wavelength of oscillations have angular dependence arising from the anisotropy of the surface state band structure. The spatial configurations of the magnetic impurities can also dramatically change the quality and quantity of the RKKY interaction. We find a strong anisotropy of the exchange interaction and the magnetic ground state of two magnetic adatoms can be tuned by changing the rotational configuration of impurities. It is found that the three types of interactions contribute to the magnetic exchange coupling in the (001) TCI surfaces: the Heisenberg, Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya, and Ising types. Our results will open up a new route toward spintronics based on TCIs.
