Spin Accumulation at Ferromagnet/Non-magnetic Material Interfaces
M. R. Sears, W. M. Saslow
Many proposed and realized spintronic devices involve spin injection and accumulation at an interface between a ferromagnet and a non-magnetic material. We examine the electric fie…
Zero BEC State Amplitude, and BEC Unnecessary to Define Phase ϕ
W. M. Saslow
We define the "BEC state" to be the many-body wavefunction where all particles are in the same one-body state. Using an argument analogous to Anderson's Orthogonality Catastrophe,…
Andreev-Lifshitz Supersolid Hydrodynamics Including the Diffusive Mode
Matthew R. Sears, Wayne M. Saslow
We have re-examined the Andreev-Lifshitz theory of supersolids. This theory implicitly neglects uniform bulk processes that change the vacancy number, and assumes an internal press…
Generation Efficiencies for Propagating Modes in a Supersolid
Matthew R. Sears, Wayne M. Saslow
Using Andreev and Lifshitz's supersolid hydrodynamics, we obtain the propagating longitudinal modes at non-zero applied pressure (necessary for solid 4He), and their genera…
Andreev-Lifshitz Hydrodynamics Applied to an Ordinary Solid under Pressure
Matthew R. Sears, Wayne M. Saslow
We have applied the Andreev-Lifshitz hydrodynamic theory of supersolids to an ordinary solid. This theory includes an internal pressure , distinct from the applied pressure $P_a…
Comments On Supersolidity
W. M. Saslow
Assuming that the well-confirmed non-classical rotational inertia (NCRI) effect in solid He, suggested by Leggett, indicates supersolid behavior, we make a number of remarks ab…
