An investigation of finite-size scaling for systems with long-range interaction: The spherical model

A method is suggested for the derivation of finite-size corrections in the thermodynamic functions of systems with pair interaction potential decaying at large distancesr asr ^{–d –} , whered is the space dimensionality and>0. It allows for a unified treatment of short-range (=2) and long-range (<2) interaction. The asymptotic analysis is illustrated by the mean spherical model of general geometryL ^d–d× ^d subject to periodic boundary conditions. The Fisher-Privman equation of state is generalized to arbitrary real values ofd, 0d. It is shown that the-expansion may be used to study the breakdown of standard finite-size scaling at the borderline dimensionalities.     

On the finite-size scalling equation for the spherical model

The mean spherical model with an arbitrary interaction potential, the Fourier transform of which has a long-wavelength exponent , 0<2, is considered under periodic boundary conditions and fully finite geometry ind dimensions, when <d<2. A new form of the finite-size scaling equation for the spherical field in the critical region is derived, which relates the temperature shift to Madelung-type lattice constants. The method of derivation makes use of the Poisson summation formula and a Laplace transformation of the momentumspace correlation function.On leave of absence from Institute of Mechanics and Biomechanics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 1113 Sofia, Bulgaria.     

Structure,Chirality, and Formation of Giant Icosahedral Fullerenes and Spherical Graphitic Onions

We describe the topology, structure, and stability of giant fullerenes exhibiting various symmetries (I, I _h , D _2h , T). Our results demonstrate that it is possible to create two new families of nested chiral icosahedral (I) fullerenes namely C₂₆₀@C₅₆₀@C₉₈₀@C₁₅₂₀@, ...,and C₁₄₀@C₃₈₀@C₇₄₀@C₁₂₂₀@ ..., which exhibit interlayer separations of ca. 3.4 Å. These chiral fullerenes are thought to possess metalliclike conduction properties. We discuss in detail the transformation of polyhedral graphitic particles into quasispherical nested giant fullerenes by reorganization of carbon atoms, which result in the formation of additional pentagonal and heptagonal carbon rings. These spherical structures are metastable and we believe they could be formed under extreme conditions, such as those produced by high-energy electron irradiation. There is circumstantial experimental evidence for the presence of heptagonal rings within these spherical fullerenes.

Improved asymptotic analysis of the average number of steps performed by the self-dual simplex algorithm

In this paper we analyze the average number of steps performed by the self-dual simplex algorithm for linear programming, under the probabilistic model of spherical symmetry. The model was proposed by Smale. Consider a problem ofn variables withm constraints. Smale established that for every number of constraintsm, there is a constantc(m) such that the number of pivot steps of the self-dual algorithm,(m, n), is less thanc(m)(lnn) ^m(m+1) . We improve upon this estimate by showing that(m, n) is bounded by a function ofm only. The symmetry of the function inm andn implies that(m, n) is in fact bounded by a function of the smaller ofm andn. Parts of this research were done while the author was visiting Stanford University, XEROX- PARC, Carnegie-Mellon University and Northwestern University and was supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Grants MCS-8300984, ECS-8218181 and ECS-8121741.     

Exact results for a generalized classicalO(n) matrix spin model

A generalizedO(n) matrix version of the classical Heisenberg model, introduced by Fuller and Lenard as a classical limit of a quantum model, is solved exactly in one dimension. The free energy is analytic and the pair correlation functions decay exponentially for all finite temperatures. It is shown, however, that even for a finite number of spins the model has a phase transition in then limit. The transition features a specific heat jump, zero long-range order at all temperatures, and zero correlation length at the critical point. The Curie-Weiss version of the model is also solved exactly and shown to have standard mean-field type behavior for all finiten and to differ from the one-dimensional results in then limit.     

Characterisation of the Kratos Axis Ultra with spherical mirror analyser for XPS imaging

The imaging performance of an XPS instrument employing a spherical mirror electron energy analyser has been characterised by measuring the peak position, full width at half maximum (FWHM), and lineshape, at every pixel in the image, for different modes of operation. Changes in these parameters have been identified and recommendations made for quantification of, and chemical state determination from, spectrum image data sets.

Modification of the GV-MSA model in obtaining the activity and osmotic coefficients of aqueous electrolyte solutions

In this work a modified form of the Ghotbi–Vera Mean Spherical Approximation model (MGV-MSA) has been used to correlate the mean ionic activity coefficients (MIAC) for a number of symmetric and asymmetric aqueous electrolyte solutions at 25 °C. In the proposed model the hard sphere as well as the electrostatic contributions to the MIAC and the osmotic coefficient of the previously GV-MSA model has been modified. The results of the proposed model for the MIAC of the electrolyte solutions studied in this work are used to directly calculate the values of the osmotic coefficients without introducing any new adjustable parameter. In the MGV-MSA model the cation diameter as well as the relative permittivity of water depends on the electrolyte concentration. Having considered such dependency for both cation and relative permittivity for water in an electrolyte solution the modification of the GV-MSA has been made. It should be stated that in the MGV-MSA model the anion diameter in the solution similar to that in the GV-MSA model remains constant and independent of the electrolyte concentration. The results obtained from the proposed model have been favorably compared with those of the GV-MSA model. The results showed that the MGV-MSA model can more accurately correlate the MIAC of the single electrolyte solutions than those of the GV-MSA model. The same comparison has been observed in case of the osmotic coefficients for the electrolyte solutions studied in this work. It should be noted that in order to do an unequivocal comparison between the results obtained from the models used in this work the same minimization procedure and the same experimental data for the MIAC and the osmotic coefficients have been used. Also it should be mentioned that in the MGV-MSA model the conversion from the McMillan–Mayer (MM) framework to that of the Lewis–Randall (LR) has been performed. It has been concluded that such transformation can affect the results in particular at higher electrolyte concentrations.
