We find that the SLH always suppresses the tt spin correlations compared to the SM values. At the LHC, the suppression can be over 10% for mz, 〈 750 GeV. The SLH prediction value is outside the 1σ range of the experimental data from ATLAS, and within 1σ range of the experimental data from CMS. At the ILC, the SLH can sizably suppress the tt spin correlation for mz, approaching the center-of-mass energy √s. For example, the maximal suppression can reach -22.5%, -14.5%, and -9.5% for √s = 500 Ge V, 800 Ge V, and 1000 GeV, respectively. Therefore, the tt spin correlation at the ILC can be a sensitive probe for the SLH.展开更多

We find that the top quark polarization asymmetry δPt and the left-right asymmetry δALR can respectively reach -35% and -37.5% for s = 500 GeV and s = 1000 GeV via e＋e- collision, which can reach the observable level at the ILC. By contrast, the spin correlation δC is smaller. The correlation behaviors of these observables at the e＋e- collision and the yy, collision will be helpful to distinguish different models and test the LHT model at the ILC.展开更多

B63 (2001) 224413] on the antiferromagnetic spin correlations in the half-filled Hubbard model at finite temperature to the double-exchange model. To overcome the mathematical difficulty caused by the localized spin freedom in this model, we apply both Zener's argument and the finite-temperature spin-reflection-positivity method to show rigorously that, at any temperature , the spin correlations in the half-filled double-exchange model are predominantly antiferromagnetic. This conclusion is completely consistent with the experimental observations and the previous theoretical results by approximate methods.展开更多

By precisely controlling A-and B-site ions and tuning the N/O ratio, new materials with exotic charge states and intriguing electronic behaviors can be designed and synthesized. In this work, a novel oxynitride perovskite, CeNbO_(2)N, was prepared under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. The compound crystallizes in an orthorhombic perovskite structure in Pnma symmetry with disordered N/O distribution. The x-ray absorption spectroscopy confirms the presence of a Nb^(4+) state with 4d^(1) electronic configuration in CeNbO_(2)N. As a result, the resistivity of CeNbO_(2)N is sharply reduced compared to its counterpart CeTa^(5+)ON_(2) and other Nb^(5+) compounds. No long-range spin order is found to occur with the temperature down to 2 K in CeNbO_(2)N, while a remarkable negative magnetoresistance effect shows up at lower temperatures, probably due to the magnetic scattering arising from short-range spin correlations.展开更多

However, the recent studies have so far been largely concentrated on its band and spin structures while its mesoscopic electronic and magnetic response, crucial for future device applications, has not been explored experimentally. Here, we used scanning superconducting quantum interference device microscopy for its sensitivity to both local diamagnetic susceptibility and current distribution in order to image the superfluid density and supercurrent in FST. We found that in FST with 10% interstitial Fe,whose magnetic structure was heavily disrupted, bulk superconductivity was significantly suppressed whereas edge still preserved strong superconducting diamagnetism. The edge dominantly carried supercurrent despite of a very long magnetic penetration depth. The temperature dependences of the superfluid density and supercurrent distribution were distinctively different between the edge and the bulk.Our Heisenberg modeling showed that magnetic dopants stabilize anti-ferromagnetic spin correlation along the edge, which may contribute towards its robust superconductivity. Our observations hold implication for FST as potential platforms for topological quantum computation and superconducting spintronics.展开更多

The associated production of a Higgs boson and top quark pair is a promising process to investigate the related Yukawa interaction and the properties of the Higgs. Compared with the pure scalar sector in the Standard Model, the Higgs sector contains both scalars and pseudoscalars in many new physics models, which makes the ttH interaction more complex and provides a variety of phenomena. To investigate the ttH interaction and the properties of the Higgs, we study the top quark spin correlation observables at the LHC.展开更多
