Efimov effect in an analytically solvable model

The Efimov effect is demonstrated in a model consisting of two heavy particles and a light one when the light-heavy interaction leads to a zero-energy two-body bound state. The model is solved in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation with the light-heavy interaction taken to be a separable S-wave potential of Yamaguchi form. It is demonstrated that in the case of a- two-body zero-energy bound state the binding energy of the light particle in the two-center potential exactly yields an effective $\text{1}\text{r}{}^2$ potential for the relative motion of the heavies. If the light-heavy mass ratio is made small enough, infinitely many bound states (the Efimov effect) are obtained. The approach to this limit is studied and the nature of the potential for large scattering length is obtained. An upper bound for the number of bound states is calculated using a result of Bargmann and Calogero and Efimov's $\text{ln}\text{(}\text{a}\text{r}{}_0\text{)}$ result is found. We note that the long-range effect arises from the large extent of the bound state, the pair wave function being essentially $\text{exp}\text{(?}\text{r}\text{a}\text{)}$ when the scattering length a is large.     

Electromagnetically induced alpha-emission in an analytically solvable model

Alpha emission induced byγ-absorption or inelastic electron scattering on²⁰Ne is examined in an analytically solvable model. The exact results are compared with an approximation recently proposed by Fliessbach. The model is used as a testing case to decide which definition of alpha-spectroscopic amplitudes is appropriate. A method for handling center of mass effects is presented.     

Multi-channel scattering problems: an analytically solvable model

We have proposed a general method for finding an exact analytical solution for the multi-channel scattering problem in the presence of a delta function coupling. Our solution is quite general and is valid for any set of potentials, if the uncoupled diabatic potential has an exact solution. We have also discussed a few examples, where our method can easily be applied.     

Multi-channel curve crossing problems: analytically solvable model

We have proposed a general method for finding the exact analytical solution for the multi-channel curve crossing problem in the presence of delta function couplings. We have analysed the case where a potential energy curve couples to a continuum (in energy) of the potential energy curves.     

Barriers in the p-spin interacting spin-glass model: the dynamical approach

We investigate the barriers separating metastable states in the spherical p-spin glass model using the instanton method. We show that the problem of finding the barrier heights can be reduced to the causal two-real-replica dynamics. We find the probability for the system to escape one of the highest energy metastable states and the energy barrier corresponding to this process.     

Curve crossing problem with Gaussian type coupling: analytically solvable model

We give a general method for finding an exact analytical solution for the two state curve crossing problem. The solution requires the knowledge of the Green's function for the motion on the uncoupled potentials. We use the method to find the solution of the problem in the case of parabolic potentials coupled by Gaussian interaction. Our method is applied to this model system to calculate the effect of curve crossing on the electronic absorption spectrum and the resonance Raman excitation profile.     

Continuum spin system as an exactly solvable dynamical system

The continuum limit of a one-dimensional classical spins with nearest neighbour Heisenberg interaction is shown to be an exactly solvable system and that its dynamics describable by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. N-soliton solutions for the energy density exist.     

An analytically solvable model of confined electrons in a magnetic field and its relation to Landau diamagnetism

Here we present analytic results for the Slater sum and the magnetic moment for arbitrary magnetic field strengths for an assembly of harmonically confined, but initially free, electrons. The relevance of the results to the generalized Landau diamagnetism of such confined electrons is emphasized.

Spherical 2 + p spin-glass model: an exactly solvable model for glass to spin-glass transition

We present the full phase diagram of the spherical 2 + p spin-glass model with p > or = 4. The main outcome is the presence of a phase with both properties of full replica symmetry breaking phases of discrete models, e.g., the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model, and those of one replica symmetry breaking. This phase has a finite complexity which leads to different dynamic and static properties. The phase diagram is rich enough to allow the study of different kinds of glass to spin glass and spin glass to spin glass phase transitions.     

Exactly solvable XY model of the spin Peierls transition

The exact solution of the problem of the ground state of theXY-spin system on a deformed chain is found. At finite magnetizationm it is characterized by the double periodic structure and has a finite-band spectrum of spin excitations. Atm 0 the phase transition from the incommensurate into the dimerized state is accompanied by the soliton lattice formation.     

Heat flow in an exactly solvable model

A chain of one-dimensional oscillators is considered. They are mechanically uncoupled and interact via a stochastic process which redistributes the energy between nearest neighbors. The total energy is kept constant except for the interactions of the extremal oscillators with reservoirs at different temperatures. The stationary measures are obtained when the chain is finite; the thermodynamic limit is then considered, approach to the Gibbs distribution is proven, and a linear temperature profile is obtained.     

Triple-coalescence singularity in a dynamical atomic process

It is shown that the high-energy limit for the amplitude of the double-electron capture to the bound state of the Coulomb field of a nucleus with emission of a single photon is determined by the behavior of the wavefunction in the vicinity of the singular triple-coalescence point.     

Correlation functions in an exactly solvable tefface-ledge-kink model

We solve exactly a terrace-ledge-kink (TLK) model describing a vicinal section of a crystal surface at a microscopic level, with either repulsive or attractive interactions between the ledges. As expected there is a faceting, or reconstructive, phase transition, driven either by temperature or by the chemical potential, that controls the mean slope of the surface. In the rough phase we carry out a thorough investigation of microscopic thermal fluctuations of the interface. This is done by combining Bethe ansatz and Conformal Field Theory methods in order to calculate appropriately defined correlators.     

Fluctuation spectrum in an exactly solvable model with dissipation: A new model of the Flicker noise

A system is considered consisting of a harmonic oscillator and a field interacting with it. A quadratic Lagrangian is used, so that the model is exactly solvable. Under some conditions, the model exhibits a dissipative behavior of a selected oscillator. A canonical transformation is found which brings the Hamiltonian to a diagonal form, which is used to compute the quantum correlation and spectral functions of the oscillator fluctuations. It is found that the model allows for a low-frequency spectrum of the form for the driving force, and for the oscillator coordinate (Flicker noise).Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 10, pp. 13–18, October, 1990.     

Negative-parity bands and gapless superconductivity in an exactly solvable model

In addition to the positive-parity yrast states discussed previously, exact solutions of the R(8) (two-level) model are found, interpretable as negative-parity yrast states. Similar solutions for the three- and four-level models are also considered. These are of special interest in connection with the phenomenon of gapless superconductivity. The states in question usually originate from two-quasiparticle rotational bands, but for some values of the spin, four- and six-quasi-particle bands may become “yrast.” With exact solutions available, the self-consistent cranking approximation is tested on these excited bands.
