Elementary excitations near the boundary of a strongly correlated crystal

Using the spin-wave approximation elementary excitations of a semi-infinite two-dimensional S = ½ Heisenberg antiferromagnet are considered. The spectrum consists of bulk modes — standing spin waves and a quasi-one-dimensional mode of boundary spin waves. These latter excitations eject bulk modes from two boundary rows of sites, thereby dividing the antiferromagnet into two regions with different dominant excitations. As a result, absolute values of nearest-neighbor spin correlations on the edge exceed the bulk value.Using the spin-wave approximation elementary excitations of a semi-infinite two-dimensional S = ½ Heisenberg antiferromagnet are considered.

The spectrum consists of bulk modes -- standing spin waves and a quasi-one-dimensional mode of boundary spin waves. These latter excitations eject bulk modes from two boundary rows of sites, thereby dividing the antiferromagnet into two regions with different dominant excitations.

Excitations near the boundary between a metal and a Mott insulator

A. Sherman, Michael Schreiber

A heterostructure of a semi-infinite metal and a Mott insulator is considered. It is supposed that both materials have an identical lattice spacing and hopping integrals and differ in the Hubbard repulsion which is negligible in the metal and exceeds the critical value for the Mott transition in the insulator. At half-filling and for low temperatures the insulator has long-range antiferromagnetic order. Its low-lying elementary excitations are standing spin waves and a spin-wave mode which is localized near the interface and has a two-dimensional dispersion. This mode ejects bulk modes from the boundary region. The antiferromagnetic ordering of the insulator induces an antiferromagnetic order in the metal where the magnetization decays exponentially with distance from the interface. This decay is characterized by the correlation length of about 6 lattice spacings.A heterostructure of a semi-infinite metal and a Mott insulator is considered.
