Zero-Range Process with Open Boundaries

We calculate the exact stationary distribution of the one-dimensional zero-range process with open boundaries for arbitrary bulk and boundary hopping rates. When such a distribution exists, the steady state has no correlations between sites and is uniquely characterized by a space-dependent fugacity which is a function of the boundary rates and the hopping asymmetry. For strong boundary drive the system has no stationary distribution. In systems which on a ring geometry allow for a condensation transition, a condensate develops at one or both boundary sites. On all other sites the particle distribution approaches a product measure with the finite critical density ρ_c. In systems which do not support condensation on a ring, strong boundary drive leads to a condensate at the boundary. However, in this case the local particle density in the interior exhibits a complex algebraic growth in time. We calculate the bulk and boundary growth exponents as a function of the system parameters.     

Integrability and exact solution of correlated hopping multi-chain electron systems

Exact quantum integrability is established for a class of multi-chain electron models with correlated hopping and spin models with interchain interactions, by constructing the related Lax operators and R-matrices through twisting and gauge transformations. Exact solution of the eigenvalue problem for commuting conserved quantities of such systems is achieved through algebraic Bethe ansatz, on the examples of Hubbard and t–J models with correlated hopping. Our systematic construction identifies the integrable subclass of such known solvable models and also generates new systems including the generalized t–J models. At the same time it makes proper correction to a well known model and resolves recent controversies regarding the equivalence and solvability of some known models.     

扩展Su-Schrieffer-Heeger模型在周期性边界条件下的相变

文章计算了含有三种跃迁项(最近邻(NN)、次近邻(NNN)、次次近邻(NNNN)跃迁项)的扩展Su-Schrieffer-Heeger(SSH)模型(模型ⅰ)的热力学特性.对仅含有二种跃迁项(NN、NNN跃迁项)的扩展SSH模型(模型ⅱ)、仅含有一种跃迁项(NN跃迁项)的SSH模型(模型ⅲ)也作了类似的计算.在低温下,每个模型都有相变且跃迁项的存在会降低相变温度.由于NNN跃迁项的存在,在极低温条件下,关于热容量与温度比(HCOTR)随温度变化的单调性,模型i与其它两个模型存在差异.在低温下,模型ⅰ的HCOTR的单调性,会受NN或NNN或NNNN跃迁项的影响并且NN或NNN跃迁项会影响其相变.     

Flux Hamiltonians, Lie algebras, and root lattices with minuscule decorations

We study a family of Hamiltonians of fermions hopping on a set of lattices in the presence of a background gauge field. The lattices are constructed by decorating the root lattices of various Lie algebras with their minuscule representations. The Hamiltonians are, in momentum space, themselves elements of the Lie algebras in these same representations. We describe various interesting aspects of the spectra, which exhibit a family resemblance to the Dirac spectrum, and in many cases are able to relate them to known facts about the relevant Lie algebras. Interestingly, various realizable lattices such as the kagomé and pyrochlore can be given this Lie algebraic interpretation, and the particular flux Hamiltonians arise as mean-field Hamiltonians for spin-1/2 Heisenberg models on these lattices.

Role of next-nearest-neighbour hopping in the internal structure of the ground state and finite temperature quantities of 2D t-J model

An exact diagonalization calculation for a small cluster in the two-dimensional t-J model has been studied to calculate two-hole correlation. Calculations reveal dominant hole-hole correlation for holes sitting on next-nearest-neighbour (NNN) sites and critical coupling occurs at J/t = 0.8. With the increase in negative-type NNN hopping, correlation decreases at NNN sites whereas it increases at other sites. The thermodynamic properties such as entropy and specific heat are studied as functions of temperature with various NNN hopping strength. Results show that with the inclusion of negative NNN hopping, the system becomes more ordered. A qualitative transition temperature region has been estimated. It is shown that with the increase in NNN hopping strength, T _c increases. Specific heat results show non-Fermi liquid-type behaviour of the system. All our calculations establish the importance of negative-type NNN hopping.     

Quantum transport in dynamically disordered continuum tight binding systems

We consider the continuum limit of three distinct models describing tightly bound electron systems in one dimension. The first model is the usual tight binding hamiltonian for monatomic lattices with nearest-neighbour hopping between sites. The second model describes a two-subband tight binding system involving two different atoms per unit cell. Finally, the third model represents a monatomic system with two energy levels per atomic site and different nearest-neighbour hopping parameters for hopping between equivalent and non-equivalent levels. The continuum limits of these models result in field-theoretic hamiltonians showing similarities with the Dirac hamiltonian. Assuming the different types of site energies to be dynamically disordered with gaussian whitenoise spectra, we calculate exactly the quantum mechanical mean square displacement <x ²(t)>. Due to the use of Novikov's theorem for the evaluation of configuration averages our analysis for the two-band models is restricted to the degenerate case, where the average positions of the two types of atomic levels coincide. Fort we find coherent motion, <x ²(t)>t ², for the one-band model and disorder induced diffusive contributions for the two-band models. However, for the two-level atomic model the diffusive term is dominated by at ²-term describing coherent hopping between equivalent levels. These findings are discussed in relation to previous results for both discrete and continuum models.

Lineshapes in quasi-elastic scattering from species hopping between non-equivalent surface sites

We present an analytic model applied to quasi-elastic scattering from an adsorbed surface species undergoing jump diffusion between adsorption sites described by a Bravais lattice combined with a basis of multiple points. The model allows for hops between adsorption sites which are both symmetrically and energetically inequivalent. We give results for 1-D hopping, which are applicable to a species jumping between the top and bridge sites along the [11?0] direction on an fcc-(110) surface or for jumps along a step edge. In 2-D, results for hopping between fcc and hcp hollow sites and between the bridge sites of an fcc-(111) surface are presented. These examples give characteristic signatures which will allow these forms of motion to be recognized in experimental data and will enable the underlying physical parameters to be extracted by comparison with the analytical forms derived here.     

Explosive condensation in a mass transport model

We study a far-from-equilibrium system of interacting particles, hopping between sites of a 1D lattice with a rate which increases with the number of particles at interacting sites. We find that clusters of particles, which initially spontaneously form in the system, begin to move at increasing speed as they gain particles. Ultimately, they produce a moving condensate which comprises a finite fraction of the mass in the system. We show that, in contrast with previously studied models of condensation, the relaxation time to steady state decreases as an inverse power of lnL with system size L and that condensation is instantaneous for L→∞.     

Asymmetric Coupling in Two-Lane Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Processes with Unequal Injection Rates: Effect of Different Hoping Rates

This paper investigates the effect of both unequal injection rates and different hopping rates on two-lane asymmetric simple exclusion processes(ASEPs) with asymmetric coupling. When the hopping rates of both lanes are different, the system includes six steady phases, however, when the hopping rates of both lanes are same, the seventh phase(MC, MC) will exist in the system. Interestingly, with different hopping rates of both lanes, the densities of the system cannot be influenced by the non-zero vertical transition rate. Our theoretical arguments are in well agreement with extensively performed Monte Carlo simulations.

Derivation of Some Translation-Invariant Lindblad Equations for a Quantum Brownian Particle

We study the dynamics of a Brownian quantum particle hopping on an infinite lattice with a spin degree of freedom. This particle is coupled to free boson gases via a translation-invariant Hamiltonian which is linear in the creation and annihilation operators of the bosons. We derive the time evolution of the reduced density matrix of the particle in the van Hove limit in which we also rescale the hopping rate. This corresponds to a situation in which both the system-bath interactions and the hopping between neighboring sites are small and they are effective on the same time scale. The reduced evolution is given by a translation-invariant Lindblad master equation which is derived explicitly.     

Conductivity increase of amorphous Si and Ge by Mn

Amorphous Si and Ge are doped with Mn by co-sputtering. The electrical conductivity is incresed by as much as a factor of 10⁶～10⁷ in some cases by the addition of several at .% Mn. The temperature dependence of the conductivity shows the variable range hopping conduction for both samples with and without Mn. The results can be interpreted by the presence of two conduction processes; the variable range hopping through dangling bonds and that through Mn sites.     

A stochastic approach to hopping transport in semiconductors

Generalized charge carrier equations for hopping transport in semiconductors are derived which include also the widely used Van Roosbroeck equations. The approach is based on a microscopic stochastic interacting particle system which models the hopping of electrons on a random set of states.     

Compositional dependence of the electrical conductivity of calcium vanadate glassy semiconductors

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X- ray diffraction (XRD), density (d), oxygen molar volume (V_m) and dc conductivity of different compositions of calcium vanadate glasses are reported. SEM exhibits a surface without any presence of a microstructure which is a characteristic of the amorphous phase. The overall features of these XRD curves confirm the amorphous nature of the present glasses. Density was observed to decrease with an increase in V₂O₅ content. The experimental results were analyzed with reference to theoretical models existing in the literature. It has been observed that the high-temperature conductivity data are consistent with Mott's nearest-neighbor hopping model. However, both Mott variable-range hopping (VRH) and Greaves intermediate range hopping models are found to be applicable. The hopping at high temperatures in the calcium vanadate glasses occurs by non-adiabatic process in contrast to the vanadate glasses formed with conventional network formers. The hopping model of Schnakenberg can predict the temperature dependence of the conductivity data. The percolation model of Triberis and Friedman applied to the small polaron hopping (SPH) regime is also consistent with data. The various model parameters such as density of states, hopping energy, etc., obtained from the best fits were found to be consistent with the glass compositions.     

Tricriticality in generalized Schloegl models for autocatalysis: Lattice-gas realization with particle diffusion

We analyze lattice-gas reaction-diffusion models which include spontaneous annihilation, autocatalytic creation, and diffusion of particles, and which incorporate the particle creation mechanisms of both Schloegl’s first and second models. For fixed particle diffusion or hop rate, adjusting the relative strength of these creation mechanisms induces a crossover between continuous and discontinuous transitions to a “poisoned” vacuum state. Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations are performed to map out the corresponding tricritical line as a function of hop rate. An analysis is also provided of the tricritical “epidemic exponent” for the case of no hopping. The phase diagram is also recovered qualitatively by applying mean-field and pair-approximations to the exact hierarchical form of the master equation for these models.     

Exact solutions of non-Hermitian chains with asymmetric long-range hopping under specific boundary conditions

We study the one-dimensional general non-Hermitian models with asymmetric long-range hopping and explore how to analytically solve the systems under some specific boundary conditions.Although the introduction of long-range hopping terms prevents us from finding analytical solutions for arbitrary boundary parameters,we identify the existence of exact solutions when the boundary parameters fulfill some constraint relations,which give the specific boundary conditions.Our analytical results show that the wave functions take simple forms and are independent of hopping range,while the eigenvalue spectra display rich model-dependent structures.Particularly,we find the existence of a special point coined as pseudo-periodic boundary condition,for which the eigenvalues are the same as those of the periodical system when the hopping parameters fulfill certain conditions,whereas the eigenstates display the non-Hermitian skin effect.     

Polaronic transport in TiO2 thin films with increasing Nb content

The temperature dependence of the charge transport in TiO₂ films was investigated to establish the correlation between the Nb content and electrical properties. It was identified that temperature-dependent conductivity of the films is dominated by a phonon-assisted small polaron hopping model in the non-adiabatic regime. Applying the polaron hopping models of Mott, Schnakenberg and Emin to describe the observed behavior, temperature-dependent conductivity data of the films were analyzed. A detailed analysis in terms of small polaron hopping parameters in the investigated temperature regime was used to correlate electrical properties with the percentage of Nb.
