We predict that spin-waves in an easy-plane ferromagnet have a finite lifetime at zero temperature due to spontaneous decays. In zero field the damping is determined by three-magnon decay processes, whereas decays in the two-particle…
Problems of strongly interacting electrons can be greatly simplified by reducing them to effective quantum spin models. The initial step is renormalization of the Hamiltonian into a lower energy subspace. The positive and negative U Hubbard…
