The variety of the normal-state magnetic properties of cuprate high-Tc superconductors is interpreted based on the self-consistent solution of the self-energy equations for the two-dimensional t-J model. The observed variations of the spin…

Negative specific heat is a dramatic phenomenon where processes decrease in temperature when adding energy. It has been observed in gravo-thermal collapse of globular clusters. We now report finding this phenomenon in bundles of nearly…
We report on the selectivity to spin in a drag measurement. This selectivity to spin causes deep minima in the magneto-drag at odd fillingfactors for matched electron densities at magnetic fields and temperatures at which the bare spin…
