We show that in the severe slowing down temperature regime the relaxation of antiferromagnetic rings and similar magnetic nanoclusters is governed by the quasi-continuum portion of their quadrupolar fluctuation spectrum and not by the lowest excitation lines. This is at the heart of the intriguing near-universal power-law temperature dependence of the electronic correlation frequency $omega_c$ with an exponent close to 4. The onset of this behavior is defined by an energy scale which is fixed by the lowest spin gap $Delta_0$. This explains why experimental curves of $omega_c$ for different cluster sizes and spins nearly coincide when $T$ is rescaled by $Delta_0$.

We develop a theoretical framework to understand the preparation and relaxation of a metastable Mott insulator state within the first excited band of a 1D optical lattice. The state is loaded by lifting atoms from the ground to the first excited band
by means of a stimulated Raman transition. We determine the effect of pulse duration on the accuracy of the state preparation for the case of a Gaussian pulse shape. Relaxation of the prepared state occurs in two major stages: double-occupied sites occurring due to quantum fluctuations initially lead to interband transitions followed by a spreading of particles in the trap and thermalization. We find the characteristic relaxation times at the earliest stage and at asymptotically long times approaching equilibrium. Our theory is applicable to recent experiments performed with 1D optical lattices [T. Muller, S. Folling, A. Widera, and I. Bloch, Phys. Rev. Lett. textbf{99}, 200405 (2007)].
We report a quantitative experimental study of the crystallization kinetics of supercooled quantum liquid mixtures of para-hydrogen (pH$_2$) and ortho-deuterium (oD$_2$) by high spatial resolution Raman spectroscopy of liquid microjets. We show that
in a wide range of compositions the crystallization rate of the isotopic mixtures is significantly reduced with respect to that of the pure substances. To clarify this behavior we have performed path-integral simulations of the non-equilibrium pH$_2$-oD$_2$ liquid mixtures, revealing that differences in quantum delocalization between the two isotopic species translate into different effective particle sizes. Our results provide first experimental evidence for crystallization slowdown of quantum origin, offering a benchmark for theoretical studies of quantum behavior in supercooled liquids.
Two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials have attracted much recent interest with unique properties emerging at the few-layer limit. Beyond the reported impacts on the static magnetic properties, the effects of reducing the dimensionality on the magne
tization dynamics are also of fundamental interest and importance for 2D device development. In this report, we investigate the spin dynamics in atomically-thin antiferromagnetic FePS3 of varying layer numbers using ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy. Following the absorption of an optical pump pulse, the time evolution of the antiferromagnetic order parameter is probed by magnetic linear birefringence. We observe a strong divergence in the demagnetization time near the Neel temperature. The divergence can be characterized by a power-law dependence on the reduced temperature, with an exponent decreasing with sample thickness. We compare our results to expectations from critical slowing down and a two-temperature model involving spins and phonons, and discuss the possible relevance of spin-substrate phonon interactions.
Semiconductor Bloch equations, in their extension including the spin degree of freedom of the carriers, are capable to describe spin dynamics on a microscopic level. In the presence of free holes, electron spins can flip simultaneously with hole spin
s due to electron-hole exchange interaction. This mechanism named after Bir, Aronov and Pikus, is described here by using the extended semiconductor Bloch equations and considering carrier-carrier interaction beyond the Hartree-Fock truncation. As a result we derive microscopic expressions for spin-relaxation and spin-dephasing rates.
Gold clusters Aun of size n = 2 to 12 atoms were studied by the density-functional theory with an ab-initio pseudopotential and a generalized gradient approximation. Geometry optimizations starting from a number of initial candidate geometries were p
erformed for each cluster size, so as to determine a number of possible low-energy isomers for each size. Along with the lowest-energy structures, metastable structures were obtained for many cluster sizes. Interestingly, a metastable planar zigzag arrangement of Au atoms was obtained for every cluster size n > = 5. The stable electronic structure, binding energy, relative stability and HOMO-LUMO gap for the lowest-energy isomer were calculated for each cluster size. Variation of the electronic properties with size is investigated in this paper and compared with experimental results and other calculations.
