Pair Formation of Hard Core Bosons in Flat Band Systems

Hard core bosons in a large class of one or two dimensional flat band systems have an upper critical density, below which the ground states can be described completely. At the critical density, the ground states are Wigner crystals. If one adds a particle to the system at the critical density, the ground state and the low lying multi particle states of the system can be described as a Wigner crystal with an additional pair of particles. The energy band for the pair is separated from the rest of the multi-particle spectrum. The proofs use a Gerschgorin type of argument for block diagonally dominant matrices. In certain one-dimensional or tree-like structures one can show that the pair is localised, for example in the chequerboard chain. For this one-dimensional system with periodic boundary condition the energy band for the pair is flat, the pair is localised.     

Spin-polarized ground state for interacting electrons in two dimensions

We study numerically the ground state magnetization for clusters of interacting electrons in two dimensions in the regime where the single particle wave functions are localized by disorder. It is found that the Coulomb interaction leads to a spontaneous ground state magnetization. For a constant electronic density, the total spin increases linearly with the number of particles, suggesting a ferromagnetic ground state in the thermodynamic limit. The magnetization is suppressed when the single particle states become delocalized.     

An experimental study on antipersonnel landmine detection using acoustic-to-seismic coupling

An acoustic-to-seismic system to detect buried antipersonnel mines exploits airborne acoustic waves penetrating the surface of the ground. Acoustic waves radiating from a sound source above the ground excite Biot type I and II compressional waves in the porous soil. The type I wave and type II waves refract toward the normal and cause air and soil particle motion. If a landmine is buried below the surface of the insonified area, these waves are scattered or reflected by the target, resulting in distinct changes to the acoustically coupled ground motion. A scanning laser Doppler vibrometer measures the motion of the ground surface. In the past, this technique has been employed with remarkable success in locating antitank mines during blind field tests [Sabatier and Xiang, IEEE Trans. Geosci. Remote Sens. 39, 1146-1154 (2001)]. The humanitarian demining mission requires an ability to locate antipersonnel mines, requiring a surmounting of additional challenges due to a plethora of shapes and smaller sizes. This paper describes an experimental study on the methods used to locate antipersonnel landmines in recent field measurements.

Effect of surface conduction on the dynamics of induction charging of particles

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the dynamics of induction charging for spherical particles assuming finite volume and surface conductivities. It is assumed that the thickness of the surface layer is a small percentage of the particle radius. All results were obtained using COMSOL commercial software. The results show that the rate of charge accumulation is affected by the conductivity, permittivity and the contact area with the ground electrode. It is shown that the actual charging time constant for a material with fixed bulk properties can differ considerably from the relaxation time.     

NESTOR: An underwater neutrino observatory in the Ionian sea

Deep underwater high energy neutrino detection is a very promising field in both elementary particle physics and astrophysics. On one side, the energy range of ground based accelerators cannot be extended much more respect to the present, leaving only astronomical sources for future investigations. In the astrophysics field, neutrinos are the tool to explore further in the universe due to their low interactions. By the same token, the experimental problems for a neutrino detector are enormous. The Cherenkov effect is practically the only possible tool, because it uses sea water both as shield and as detector. NESTOR is the first step toward a full fledged deep underwater neutrino experiment. While its area, of the order of 10000 m^**2, cannot hope to identify all possible celestial sources, it is nevertheless a necessary step toward the “Km^**3” experiment. The first deployment tests have already been performed, proving the feasibility of the mechanical design, and the electronics is almost completely ready. Additional tests are scheduled for this autumn and next year will see a relevant part of the experiment installed at the bottom of the Ionian sea.     

A Particle Interacting with V-shaped Potential Decorated by a Dirac Delta Function Interaction at Center

The Schrodinger equation for a particle in the V-shaped potential decorated by a repulsive or attractive Dirac delta function interaction at the center is solved, demonstrating the crucial influence of point interaction on the even-parity states of the original system without decoration. As strength of the attraction increases, the ground state energy falls down without limit; and in limit of infinitely large attraction, the ground state approaches a singular state. Our analysis and conclusion can be readily generalized to any one-dimensional system a particle interacts with symmetrical potential plus the Dirac delta function interaction at the center.     

Sound propagation over layered poro-elastic ground using a finite-difference model

This article presents an axisymmetric pressure-velocity finite-difference formulation (PV-FD) based on Biot's poro-elastic theory for modeling sound propagation in a homogeneous atmosphere over layered poro-elastic ground. The formulation is coded in a computer program and a simulation of actual measurements from airblast tests is carried out. The article presents typical results of simulation comprising synthetic time histories of overpressure in the atmosphere and ground vibration as well as snapshots of the response of the atmosphere-ground system at selected times. Comparisons with the measurements during airblast tests performed in Haslemoen, Norway, as well as the simulations by a frequency-wave number FFP formulation are presented to confirm the soundness of the proposed model. In particular, the generation of Mach surfaces in the ground motion, which is the result of the sound speed being greater than the Rayleigh wave velocity in the ground, is demonstrated with the help of snapshot plots.     

Particle Size Distribution Analysis of Industrial Colloidal Slurries using ultrasonic spectroscopy

Several solid-liquid suspensions containing submicron particles at moderate to high concentrations (5 to 50 volume percent) are encountered in industrial slurry processing. Measurements of ultrasonic attenuation spectra are used in a newly developed AcoustoPhor particle analysis system to get particle size distributions of such colloidal suspensions. This paper deals with the performance evaluation of the AcoustoPhor system. The automated ultrasonic spectrometer component of the AcoustoPhor system was tested using a reference silicone liquid for its accuracy and precision. The particle size distribution (PSD) estimation capabilities were evaluated using a set of well-dispersed slurries covering a wide range of particle concentrations. Sensitivity to process variations was evaluated in field tests at a pigment manufacturing plant. The AcoustoPhor system appears to be capable of providing reliable PSD data for inorganic pigment slurries with particle diameters ranging from 0.01 to 100 micrometers at particle concentrations as high as 50 volume percent.

Design of data communication and management system for ground test and verification devices of space laser communication

Verification of a space laser communication system's parts or of component-level, terminal-level, and system-level performance using ground test and verification devices on the ground before launch is vital. In this paper, a data communication and management system is proposed, which is an important part of the ground test and verification devices system and manages the test process and impacts on the measurement results directly. We improved the existing hardware buses to make up the hardware part, and also designed the software part. Several typical tests were performed, and the results show that the maximum time delay is less than 50 ms. The developed data communication and management system is demonstrated to be a high-performance system which can meet the requirements in our project.     

Ground States of Lattice Gases with “Almost” Convex Repulsive Interactions

To the best of our knowledge there is only one example of a lattice system with long-range two-body interactions whose ground states have been determined exactly: the one-dimensional lattice gas with purely repulsive and strictly convex interactions. Its ground-state particle configurations do not depend on any other details of the interactions and are known as the generalized Wigner lattices or the most homogeneous particle configurations. The question of the stability of this beautiful and universal result against certain perturbations of the repulsive and convex interactions is interesting in itself. Additional motivations for studying such perturbations come from surface physics (adsorption on crystal surfaces) and theories of correlated fermion systems (recent results on ground-state particle configurations of the one-dimensional spinless Falicov–Kimball model). As a first step, we studied a one-dimensional lattice gas whose two-body interactions are repulsive and strictly convex only from distance 2 on, while its value at distance 1 can be positive or negative, but close to zero. We showed that such a modification makes the ground-state particle configurations sensitive to the tail of the interactions; if the sum of the strengths of the interactions from the distance 3 on is small with respect to the strength of the interaction at distance 2, then particles form two-particle lattice-connected aggregates that are distributed in the most homogeneous way. Consequently, despite breaking of the convexity property, the ground state exhibits the feature known as the complete devil's staircase.

The cepstrum: a viable method for the removal of ground reflections

Noise data from open air test facilities is contaminated by the effect of ground reflections causing cancellations and augmentations of the sound at certain frequencies. This problem is generally dealt with by placing microphones near the ground and subtracting 6 dB from the SPL spectrum. However the high frequency part of the spectrum obtained in this way suffers from problems due to temperature gradients near the ground on sunny days. The present empirical method used at Rolls-Royce for the estimation of one third octave band free field spectra involves the use of two microphones, one at 0·051 m above the ground (ground level) for frequencies up to 1 kHz and the other at 1·524 m above the ground for higher frequencies. Corrections are applied to the one third octave spectra from these low and high microphones to take account of intensity increases. These spectra are then “married” at 1 kHz to produce a single free field spectrum. At present there is no similar method to obtain narrow band free field spectra. In this paper cepstrum analysis is proposed as a satisfactory method to produce both narrow band and one third octave band free field spectra from high level microphones only. A series of tests has been carried out in an anechoic chamber facility in which ground reflections were simulated. The cepstrum technique was applied to this data to deduce the free field spectra. These compared very well with free field spectra obtained under anechoic conditions. Data is also included from open air tests on the Viper 11 engine and the spinning rig jet noise facility to show that the cepstrum technique is a viable way of removing ground reflections from high level microphone data.     

Solvent Dependence on Structure and Electronic Properties of 7-(Diethylamino) - 2H -1- Benzopyran-2- one (C-466) Laser Dye

In this work, we studied influences on the absorption and fluorescence emission spectra of coumarin-4066 (C-466) with different solvent polarity scale. The spectral shifts reflect the effect of the equilibrium solvents association across the energized solute particle, which adjusts inertially as a result of quick charge realignment upon radiative deactivation to the lowest electronic state. The dipole moments of C-466 are determined by employing the Bakhshiev, Kawski-Chamma-Viallet, Lippert-Mataga and McRae relations. The results from all these methods are, excited state dipole moment of C-466 is higher than the ground state dipole moments and which indicates molecule is less polar in the ground state. Theoretical analysis was also carried out by Density Functional theory (DFT and TD –DFT) employing the BECKE-1998 (exchange)/STO-6G basic set in ethanol solvent and in vacuum medium. The HOMO-LUMO, Solvent Accessible Surfaces (SAS) and Molecular Electrostatic Potential (MEP) were analysed to acquire additional knowledge of the molecular arrangement and electronic properties of C-466. These photophysical properties suggest delineation can be mauled for laying out new luminescent tests for various solvents microenvironment.

Entropies and IPR as Markers for a Phase Transition in a Two-Level Model for Atom–Diatomic Molecule Coexistence

A quantum phase transition (QPT) in a simple model that describes the coexistence of atoms and diatomic molecules is studied. The model, which is briefly discussed, presents a second-order ground state phase transition in the thermodynamic (or large particle number) limit, changing from a molecular condensate in one phase to an equilibrium of diatomic molecules–atoms in coexistence in the other one. The usual markers for this phase transition are the ground state energy and the expected value of the number of atoms (alternatively, the number of molecules) in the ground state. In this work, other markers for the QPT, such as the inverse participation ratio (IPR), and particularly, the Rényi entropy, are analyzed and proposed as QPT markers. Both magnitudes present abrupt changes at the critical point of the QPT.

Solution of the schrödinger equation for a particle moving in a two-well potential

A solution to the Schrödinger equation for a particle moving in a two-well potential is obtained based on a variational method. This potential represents the sum of the harmonic and Gauss components. An analytical expression for the wave function of the ground state of the particle is derived. The dependence of the solution obtained on the potential barrier height and width is investigated. It is shown that the stronger the potential barrier, the higher the accuracy of calculations. The parameters of the two-well potential are indicated at which good agreement between the results of calculations and the exact numerical solution of the Schrödinger equation are expected.
