On the origin of the decrease in the torsional oscillator period of solid He4
Z. Nussinov, A. V. Balatsky, M. J. Graf +1
A decrease in the rotational period observed in torsional oscillator measurements was recently taken as a possible indication of a supersolid state of helium. We reexamine this int…
Observing the fluctuating stripes in high Tc superconductors
V. Cvetkovic, Z. Nussinov, S. Mukhin +1
Resting on the gauge theory of topological quantum melting in 2+1 dimensions, we predict that a superconductor characterized by crystalline correlations on a length scale large com…
Klein spin model ground states on general lattices
Zohar Nussinov
We prove that in short range Klein spin models on general lattices, all ground states are of the dimer type- each fundamental plaquette must host at least one singlet. These ground…
Entropy of solid He4: the possible role of a dislocation glass
A. V. Balatsky, M. J. Graf, Z. Nussinov +1
Solid He4 is viewed as a nearly perfect Debye solid. Yet, recent calorimetry indicates that its low-temperature specific heat has both cubic and linear contributions. These feature…
Symmetry and Topological Order
Zohar Nussinov, Gerardo Ortiz
We prove sufficient conditions for Topological Quantum Order at both zero and finite temperatures. The crux of the proof hinges on the existence of low-dimensional Gauge-Like Symme…
Intermediate Symmetries In Electronic Systems: Dimensional Reduction, Order Out Of Disorder, Dualities, And Fractionalization
Zohar Nussinov, Cristian D. Batista, Eduardo Fradkin
We discuss symmetries intermediate between global and local and formalize the notion of dimensional reduction adduced from such symmetries. We apply this generalization to several…
High-dimensional fractionalization and spinon deconfinement in pyrochlore antiferromagnets
Z. Nussinov, C. D. Batista, B. Normand +1
The ground states of Klein type spin models on the pyrochlore and checkerboard lattice are spanned by the set of singlet dimer coverings, and thus possess an extensive ground--stat…
Voltage dependence of Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert damping of a spin in a current driven tunnel junction
Hosho Katsura, Alexander V. Balatsky, Zohar Nussinov +1
We present a theory of Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert damping for a localized spin in the junction coupled to the conduction electrons in both leads under an applied volate…
Heterogeneities and Topological Defects in Two-Dimensional Pinned Liquids
J. -X. Lin, C. Reichhardt, Z. Nussinov +2
We simulate a model of repulsively interacting colloids on a commensurate two-dimensional triangular pinning substrate where the amount of heterogeneous motion that appears at melt…
