Spectral Localization by Gaussian Random Potentials in Multi-Dimensional Continuous Space

A detailed mathematical proof is given that the energy spectrum of a non-relativistic quantum particle in multi-dimensional Euclidean space under the influence of suitable random potentials has almost surely a pure-point component. The result applies in particular to a certain class of zero-mean Gaussian random potentials, which are homogeneous with respect to Euclidean translations. More precisely, for these Gaussian random potentials the spectrum is almost surely only pure point at sufficiently negative energies or, at negative energies, for sufficiently weak disorder. The proof is based on a fixed-energy multi-scale analysis which allows for different random potentials on different length scales.     

Localization for random and quasiperiodic potentials

A survey is made of some recent mathematical results and techniques for Schrödinger operators with random and quasiperiodic potentials. A new proof of localization for random potentials, established in collaboration with H. von Dreifus, is sketched.     

Dynamical system related to quasiperiodic Schrödinger equations in one dimension

A dynamical map is obtained from a class of quasiperiodic discrete Schrödinger equations in one dimension which include the Fibonacci system. The potentials are constant except for steps at special points.     

Localization phenomenon in gaps of the spectrum of random lattice operators

We consider a class of random lattice operators including Schrödinger operators of the formH=–+w+gv, wherew(x) is a real-valued periodic function,g is a positive constant, andv(x),x ^d , are independent, identically distributed real random variables. We prove that if the operator –+w has gaps in the spectrum andg is sufficiently small, then the operatorH develops pure point spectrum with exponentially decaying eigenfunctions in a vicinity of the gaps.     

Some Improvements in the Method of the Weakly Conjugate Operator

We present some improvements in the method of the weakly conjugate operator, one variant of the Mourre theory. When applied to certain two-body Schrödinger operators, this leads to a limiting absorption principle that is uniform on the positive real axis.     

Analyticity of the density of states in the anderson model on the Bethe lattice

Let H=1/2+V on l²(B), whereB is the Bethe lattice andV(x),x B, are i.i.d.r.v.'s with common probability distribution. It is shown that for distributions sufficiently close to the Cauchy distribution, the density of states(E) is analytic in a strip about the real axis.     

Localization Lengths and Boltzmann Limit for the Anderson Model at Small Disorders in Dimension 3

We prove lower bounds on the localization length of eigenfunctions in the three-dimensional Anderson model at weak disorders. Our results are similar to those obtained by Schlag, Shubin and Wolff, [J. Anal. Math. 88 (2002)], for dimensions one and two. We prove that with probability one, most eigenfunctions have localization lengths bounded from below by , where λ is the disorder strength. This is achieved by time-dependent methods which generalize those developed by Erdös and Yau [Commun. Pure Appl. Math. LIII: 667–753 (2003)] to the lattice and non-Gaussian case. In addition, we show that the macroscopic limit of the corresponding lattice random Schrödinger dynamics is governed by a linear Boltzmann equation.     

Recurrence of the eigenstates of a Schrödinger operator with automatic potential

We consider the Schrödinger eigenvalue problem in the discrete case with a potential assuming two values distributed according to the automatic sequence of Prouhet-Thue-Morse. We show that there are no localized states and that the generalized eigenvectors are recurrent on a geometrical set stemming from the hierarchical nature of the potential.     

Adiabatic invariants and asymptotic behavior of Lyapunov exponents of the Schrödinger equation

We give an upper bound for the high-energy behavior of the Lyapunov exponent of the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation. We relate this behavior to the diffrentiability properties of the potential. As an application, this result provides an upper bound for the asymptotic length of the gaps of the Schrödinger equation.     

Dynamical behaviors of the shock compacton in the nonlinearly Schrödinger equation with a source term

In this paper, the dynamics from the shock compacton to chaos in the nonlinearly Schrödinger equation with a source term is investigated in detail. The existence of unclosed homoclinic orbits which are not connected with the saddle point indicates that the system has a discontinuous fiber solution which is a shock compacton. We prove that the shock compacton is a weak solution. The Melnikov technique is used to detect the conditions for the occurrence from the shock compacton to chaos and further analysis of the conditions for chaos suppression. The results show that the system turns to chaos easily under external disturbances. The critical parameter values for chaos appearing are obtained analytically and numerically using the Lyapunov exponents and the bifurcation diagrams.     

Application of the complex point source method to the Schrödinger equation

The paraxial wave equation is a reduced form of the Helmholtz equation. Its solutions can be directly obtained from the solutions of the Helmholtz equation by using the method of complex point source. We applied the same logic to quantum mechanics, because the Schrödinger equation is parabolic in nature as the paraxial wave equation. We defined a differential equation, which is analogous to the Helmholtz equation for quantum mechanics and derived the solutions of the Schrödinger equation by taking into account the solutions of this equation with the method of complex point source. The method is applied to the problem of diffraction of matter waves by a shutter.     

On the Number of Negative Eigenvalues of a One-Dimensional Schrödinger Operator with Point Interactions

An effective algorithm is provided for determining the number of negative eigenvalues of a one-dimensional Schrödinger operator with point interactions in terms of the intensities and the distances between the interactions.     

Wegner Estimate and the Density of States of Some Indefinite Alloy-Type Schrödinger Operators

We study Schrödinger operators with a random potential of alloy type. The single site potentials are allowed to change sign. For a certain class of them, we prove a Wegner estimate. This is a key ingredient in an existence proof of pure point spectrum of the considered random Schrödinger operators. Our estimate is valid for all bounded energy intervals and all space dimensions and implies the existence of the density of states.     

Asymptotics of the Interband Light Absorption Coefficient near the Band Edge for an Alloy-Type Model

We find the asymptotics of the interband light absorption coefficient of an alloy-type model in the case when the ground-state energies of the electron and the hole Hamiltonians are finite.     

采用混合模型数值模拟从深海到浅海内波的传播

在南海东沙岛附近, 从MODIS遥感图像发现内波传播是从深海经陆架坡再到浅海, 由于深海和浅海环境条件的差异以及传播模型的适用条件不同, 因此 不能采用同一模型模拟内波的传播, 需用两种模型来分别模拟内波在深海和浅海中的传播. 采用差分法, 首先用非线性薛定谔方程模拟了深海内波的传播, 然后用EKdV方程模拟了内波在浅海中的继续传播. 模拟结果与实际的MODIS遥感内波图像相符合, 并与应用单一模型模拟结果相比, 混合模型模拟该海区的内波传播更接近遥感实测, 表明了混合模型的合理性.     

A general solution to the Schrödinger–Poisson equation for a charged hard wall: Application to potential profile of an AlN/GaN barrier structure

A general, system-independent, formulation of the parabolic Schrödinger–Poisson equation is presented for a charged hard wall in the limit of complete screening by the ground state. It is solved numerically using iteration and asymptotic boundary conditions. The solution gives a simple relation between the band bending and sheet charge density at an interface. Approximative analytical expressions for the potential profile and wave function are developed based on properties of the exact solution. Specific tests of the validity of the assumptions leading to the general solution are made. The assumption of complete screening by the ground state is found be a limitation; however, the general solution provides a fair approximate account of the potential profile when the bulk is doped. The general solution is further used in a simple model for the potential profile of an AlN/GaN barrier structure. The result compares well with the solution of the full Schrödinger–Poisson equation.     

Exact and explicit solutions to the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a saturable nonlinearity

We analyze the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a saturable nonlinearity through the (G^′/G)-expansion method to present some improved results. Three types of analytic solutions with arbitrary parameters are constructed; hyperbolic, trigonometric, and rational which have not been explicitly computed before.
