Theory of Condensed Matter

Leaders:	V.B. Priezzhev V.A. Osipov
Scientific leader:	N.M. Plakida

Scientific Programme:
Multiparticle models of solids taking into consideration strong electron correlations, electron-lattice, and spin interactions to describe spectra of quasiparticle excitations, phase transitions and kinetic phenomena in solids. In equilibrium and nonequilibrium media with strong correlations such as liquids and nuclear matter, the processes of multifragmentation, clusterization in phase transitions and the influence of surface effects on properties of clusters. In the theory of superconductivity, nonstandard mechanisms of pairing in metal-oxides, the problem of bipolaron stability in a polaron gas environment, the influence of strong electric fields and temperature gradients on elastic, magnetic, and thermal properties of granular superconductors. For a study of mechanisms of phase transitions caused by charge, orbital, and magnetic ordering in magnetic semiconductors and in metals with a large magnetoresistance, experimental data obtained at the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics, JINR, by neutron scattering and the µSR method will be used.
Nonlinear problems in multiparticle theory will be studied by using modern methods of the renormalization group theory, the inverse scattering problem, fractal geometry, and the conformal field theory. The main subjects of the study are integrable systems, equilibrium systems of the statistical mechanics, and dissipative systems far from the thermodynamic equilibrium. The aim of these investigations is to reveal common properties of the multiparticle systems associated with the ideas of self-similarity and universality.
The microstructure of amorphous state will be studied in the framework of the theoretical model where topological disorder is introduced via arrays of disclination dipoles and loops. The thermal properties of disclinated media are of primary interest. The electronic spectrum of carbon materials, fullerenes and nanotubes, will be examined within the field-theory model adapted to account for nontrivial geometry of these nanostructures. The model of random Josephson junction arrays will be studied and applied to describe high-temperature granular superconductors.
In the theory of finite quantum systems, local and low-dimensional states of matter obtained in modern experiments will be investigated. In particular, properties of quasiparticles in mesoscopic systems and the Bose-Einstein condensation in atomic traps will be studied.

Expected main results in 2008:

Investigation of the low-energy electronic spectrum of multi-walled carbon nanostructures. Calculation of transport characteristics of carbon nanotubes. Study of quantum anomalies in spin systems. Calculation of charge carrier mobility as a function of temperature in nanocrystalline semiconductors.

Study of the phase diagram of the copper-oxide compounds in the strong-coupling limit. Calculation of spectral functions of localized electrons within the diagram theory for the single-site Anderson model. Revealing of effects of spin blockade on electronic transport in cobalt-oxides.
Calculation of the generating functions for current fluctuations in one-dimensional stochastic systems with exclusion volume.

Check of the logarithmic conformal field theory predictions by calculation of correlation functions for nonlocal operators in lattice models.

Further development of the theory of Bose systems in random potentials.

Investigation of diffusion processes for the dense-packed dimer systems on the cristalline surfaces.
