Energy transport in boundary driven quantum spin systems: One-way street phenomenon in models with long range interactions

We address the investigation of non trivial properties of the energy current in boundary driven XXZ quantum spin models. In specific, we focus on the occurrence of the one-way street phenomenon in asymmetrical chains, a phenomenon stronger than rectification, which establishes the existence of a unique way for the energy current in the absence of external magnetic field, that is, the magnitude and direction of the energy flow does not change as we invert the baths at the boundaries. For general target polarizations at the boundaries, we show that such a phenomenon holds in the presence of long range interactions, ingredient which increases the flow and the rectification in chains of classical oscillators, and so, of interest in the study of manipulation and control of the energy flow.

High‐temperature superconductivity and long‐range order in strongly correlated electronic systems

A selective review of the question of how repulsive electron correlations might give rise to off‐diagonal long‐range order (ODLRO) in high‐temperature superconductors is presented. The article makes detailed explanations of the relevance to superconductivity of reduced electronic density matrices and how these can be used to understand whether ODLRO might arise from Coulombic repulsions in strongly correlated electronic systems. Time‐reversed electron pairs on alternant Cuprate and the iron‐based pnictide and chalcogenide lattices may have a weak long‐range attractive tail and much stronger short‐range repulsive Coulomb interaction. The long‐range attractive tail may find its origin in one of the many suggested proposals for high‐T_c superconductivity and thus has an uncertain origin. A phenomenological Hamiltonian is invoked whose model parameters are obtained by fitting to experimental data. A detailed summary is given of the arguments that such interacting electrons can cooperate to produce a superconducting state in which time‐reversed pairs of electrons effectively avoid the repulsive hard‐core of the Coulomb interaction but reside on average in the attractive well of the long‐range potential. Thus, the pairing of electrons itself provides an enhanced screening mechanism. The alternant lattice structure is the key to achieving robust high‐temperature superconductivity with dx²‐y² or sign alternating s‐wave or s± condensate symmetries in cuprates and iron‐based compounds. Some attention is also given to the question first raised by Leggett as to where the Coulombic energy is saved in the superconducting transition in cuprates. A mean‐field‐type model in which the condensate density serves as an order parameter is discussed. Many of the observed trends in the thermal properties of cuprate superconductors are reproduced giving strong support for the proposed model for high‐temperature superconductivity in such strongly correlated electronic systems. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Continuous fast focusing in a trapezoidal void channel based on bidirectional isotachophoresis in a wide pH range

This study concentrates on development of instrumentation for focusing and separation of analytes in continuous flow. It is based on bidirectional ITP working in wide pH range with separation space of closed void channel of trapezoidal shape and continuous supply of sample. The novel instrumentation is working with electrolyte system formulated previously and on the contrary to devices currently available, it allows preparative separation and concentration of cationic, anionic, and amphoteric analytes simultaneously and in wide pH range. The formation of sharp edges at zone boundaries as well as low conductivity zones are avoided in suggested system and thus, local overheating is eliminated allowing for high current densities at initial stages of focusing. This results in high focusing speed and reduction of analysis time, which is particularly advantageous for separations performed in continuous flow systems. The closed void channel is designed to avoid basic obstacles related to liquid leakage, bubbles formation, contacts with electrodes, channel height and complicated assembling. The performance of designed instrumentation and focusing dynamics were tested by using colored low molecular mass pH indicators for local pH determination, focusing pattern, and completion. In addition, feasibility and separation efficiency were demonstrated by focusing of cytochrome C and myoglobin. The collection of fractions at instrument output allows for subsequent analysis and identification of sample components that are concentrated and conveniently in form of solution for further processing. Since the instrumentation operates with commercially available simple defined buffers and compounds without need of carrier ampholytes background, it is economically favorable.

Precision Matrix Estimation With ROPE

It is known that the accuracy of the maximum likelihood-based covariance and precision matrix estimates can be improved by penalized log-likelihood estimation. In this article, we propose a ridge-type operator for the precision matrix estimation, ROPE for short, to maximize a penalized likelihood function where the Frobenius norm is used as the penalty function. We show that there is an explicit closed form representation of a shrinkage estimator for the precision matrix when using a penalized log-likelihood, which is analogous to ridge regression in a regression context. The performance of the proposed method is illustrated by a simulation study and real data applications. Computer code used in the example analyses as well as other supplementary materials for this article are available online.
