The phase diagram of the ferromagnetic Kondo model for manganites was recently investigated using computational techniques by Yunoki et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 845 (1998)]. In dimensions 1, 2, and $\ensuremath{\infty}$ classical localized spins, this study suggested a rich low-temperature with three dominant regions: (i) phase, (ii) separation between hole-undoped antiferromagnetic hole-rich domains, (iii) incommensurate spin correlations. purpose present paper is twofold: (a) First,...

Including Cooper Peierls channel contributions leads to one-loop renormalization group flow strong coupling for short range repulsive interactions. In certain parameter characteristics of fixed point, opening spin charge gap, dominant pairing correlations are similar those two-leg ladder at half-filling. argue that an increase electron density truncation only...
We have investigated the variation of induced ferroelectric polarization under a magnetic field with various directions and magnitudes in staggered antiferromagnet Ba₂CoGe₂O₇. While cannot be explained by well-accepted spin current model nor exchange striction mechanism, we shown that it is spin-dependent p-d hybridization between transition metal (Co) ligand (O) via spin-orbit interaction. On basis correspondence direction electric state, also demonstrated electrical control magnetization direction.
