Recently new novel magnetic phases were shown to exist in the asymptotic steady states of spin systems coupled to dissipative environments at zero temperature. Tuning the different system parameters led to quantum phase transitions among those states. We study, here, a finite two-dimensional Heisenberg triangular spin lattice coupled to a dissipative Markovian Lindblad environment at finite temperature. We show how applying an inhomogeneous magnetic field to the system at different degrees of anisotropy may significantly affect the spin states, and the entanglement properties and distribution among the spins in the asymptotic steady state of the system. In particular, applying an inhomogeneous field with an inward (growing) gradient toward the central spin is found to considerably enhance the nearest neighbor entanglement and its robustness against the thermal dissipative decay effect in the completely anisotropic (Ising) system, whereas the beyond nearest neighbor ones vanish entirely. The spins of the system in this case reach different steady states depending on their positions in the lattice. However, the inhomogeneity of the field shows no effect on the entanglement in the completely isotropic (XXX) system, which vanishes asymptotically under any system configuration and the spins relax to a separable (disentangled) steady state with all the spins reaching a common spin state. Interestingly, applying the same field to a partially anisotropic (XYZ) system does not just enhance the nearest neighbor entanglements and their thermal robustness but all the long-range ones as well, while the spins relax asymptotically to very distinguished spin states, which is a sign of a critical behavior taking place at this combination of system anisotropy and field inhomogeneity.

AbstractAnomalous metallic behavior, marked by a saturating finite resistivity much lower than the Drude estimate, has been observed in a wide range of two-dimensional superconductors. Utilizing the electrostatically gated LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface as a versatile platform for superconductor-metal quantum phase transitions, we probe variations in the gate, magnetic field, and temperature to construct a phase diagram crossing from superconductor, anomalous metal, vortex liquid, to the Drude metal state, combining longitudinal and Hall resistivity measurements. We find that the anomalous metal phases induced by gating and magnetic field, although differing in symmetry, are connected in the phase diagram and exhibit similar magnetic field response approaching zero temperature. Namely, within a finite regime of the anomalous metal state, the longitudinal resistivity linearly depends on the field while the Hall resistivity diminishes, indicating an emergent particle-hole symmetry. The universal behavior highlights the uniqueness of the quantum bosonic metallic state, distinct from bosonic insulators and vortex liquids.

The steady-state solutions of the viscous froth model for foam dynamics are analysed and shown to be of finite extent or to asymptote to straight lines. In the high-velocity limit, the solutions consist of straight lines with isolated points of infinite curvature. This analysis is helpful in the interpretation of observations of anomalous features of mobile two-dimensional foams in channels. Further physical effects need to be adduced in order to fully account for these.

A two-species biological depletion model in a bounded domain is investigated in which one species is a substrate and the other is an activator. Firstly, under the no-flux boundary condition, the asymptotic stability of constant steady-states is discussed. Secondly, by viewing the feed rate of the substrate as a parameter, the steady-state bifurcations from constant steady-states are analyzed both in one-dimensional kernel case and in two-dimensional kernel case. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to illustrate our theoretical results. The main tools adopted here include the stability theory, the bifurcation theory, the techniques of space decomposition and the implicit function theorem.

The critical behavior at the phase transition of the ferromagnetic two-dimensional anisotropic Ising model with next-nearest neighbor (NNN) couplings in the presence of the field is determined using mainly Monte Carlo (MC) method. This method is used to investigate the phase diagram of the model and to verify the existence of a divergence at null temperature which often appears in two-dimensional systems. We analyze also the influence of the report of the NNN interactions [Formula: see text] and the magnetic field [Formula: see text] on the critical temperature of the system, and we show that the critical temperature depends on the magnetic field for positive values of the interaction. Finally, we have investigated other thermodynamical qualities such as the magnetic susceptibility [Formula: see text]. It has been shown that their thermal behavior depends qualitatively and quantitatively on the strength of NNN interactions and the magnetic field.

Nonlinear, two-dimensional magnetoconvection has been investigated numerically for a fixed Rayleigh number of 104, with the ratio ζ of the magnetic to the thermal diffusivity in the range 0·4 ≥ ζ ≥ 0·05. As the Chandrasekhar number Q is decreased, convection first sets in as overstable oscillations, which are succeeded by steady convection with dynamically active flux sheets and, eventually, with kinematically concentrated fields. In the dynamical regime spatially asymmetrical convection, with most of the flux on one side of the cell, is preferred. As Q increases, these asymmetrical solutions become time-dependent, with oscillations about the steady state which develop into large-scale oscillations with reversals of the flow. Although linear theory predicts that narrow cells should be most unstable, the nonlinear results show that steady convection occurs most easily in cells that are roughly twice as wide as they are deep.

The photoluminescence spectrum from the two-dimensional low density electrons with the localized valence-band holes in magnetic field is studied. The ground state is considered as Wigner crystal ore the strongly correlated electron system. For the quantum Wigner crystal the Landau levels for vacancions (quasiholes appearing in the process of photoluminescence) are calculated in the quasiclassical approximation. The spectrum of single-particle excitations for a triangular lattice in the nearest-neighbor approximation is used. It is found that Landau levels for vacancions depend unusually on magnetic field. For the electron system with strong Coulomb interaction the Mahan exciton effect in the photoluminescence for the two-dimensional electrons in magnetic field is considered.

The hexagonalRMnO3(h-RMnO3) are multiferroic materials, which exhibit the coexistence of a magnetic order and ferroelectricity. Their distinction is in their geometry that both results in an unusual mechanism to break inversion symmetry and also produces a two-dimensional triangular lattice of Mn spins, which is subject to geometrical magnetic frustration due to the antiferromagnetic interactions between nearest-neighbor Mn ions. This unique combination makes theh-RMnO3a model system to test ideas of spin-lattice coupling, particularly when both the improper ferroelectricity and the Mn trimerization that appears to determine the symmetry of the magnetic structure arise from the same structure distortion. In this review we demonstrate how the use of both neutron and X-ray diffraction and inelastic neutron scattering techniques have been essential to paint this comprehensive and coherent picture ofh-RMnO3.
