Ferromagnetic ground state in the Kondo lattice model

We present a series of rigorous examples of the Kondo lattice model that exhibit full ferromagnetism in the ground state. The models are defined in one-, two- and three-dimensional lattices, and are characterized by a range of hopping terms, specific electron filling, and large ferromagnetic coupling. Our examples show that a sufficient strong but finite exchange coupling between conduction electrons and localized spins could overcome the competition from mobility of a finite density of electrons and drive the system from a paramagnetic phase to a ferromagnetic phase. We also establish a relation of ferromagnetism between the Hubbard model and Kondo lattice model. Meanwhile some rigorous results on ferromagnetism in the corresponding Hubbard model are presented.

Racemization of sulfinic esters with trichloroacetic anhydride

Both alkane- and arene-sulfinates undergo racemization and oxygen exchange reaction with trich-loroacetic anhydride. The rate of racemization of (?)menthyl (?)p-toluenesulfinate was found to be twice that of oxygen exchange, suggesting the reaction involves a Walden inversion. When reaction was carried out in benzene, the rate of racemization was found to be first order with respect to both sulfinic ester and trichloroacetic anhydride. The substituent effect is large (p = ?1.53) suggesting that the initial acylation is the rate-determining step. The rate of racemization was found to be retarded by the addition of perhaloacetic acid while very small catalytic effect of mercuric chloride was observed.     

Near-i.r. Absorption of H2O and D2O in the liquid and supercooled range

Summary Results are reported on near-i.r. absorption spectra of H₂O and D₂O down to the temperature region of supercooled liquid. No anomalous behaviour is observed when the absorbance at any given frequency is studied as a function of temperature. A critical-exponent behaviour strikingly correlating with that exhibited by transport properties is instead observed when spectral deconvolution methods are used. Results are discussed in relation with current views on water structure, based on molecular-dynamics simulation results and connectivity calculations.

Riassunto Si riportano risultati sugli spettri di assorbimento i.r. di H₂O e D₂O fino alla regione di temperature del liquido sopraraffreddato. L'andamento dell'assorbanza a frequenza costante in funzione della temperatura non mostra alcuna indicazione di comportamento anomalo. Al contrario, quando gli spettri sono analizzati con metodo di deconvoluzione, si osserva un comportamento di tipo esponente critico, che correla straordinariamente bene con quello mostrato dalle proprietà di trasporto. I risultati sono discussi anche in relazione ai piú recenti modelli di struttura dell'acqua, derivanti dai risultati di simulazione e dai calcoli di connettività.

Резюме Приводятся результаты для спектров инфракрасного поглощения H₂O и D₂O для температур переохлажденной жидкости. Не обнаружено аномального поведения, когда поглощательная способность при заданной частоте изучается как функция темпетатуры. Напротив, при анализе спектров с помощью спектральных методов конволюции наблюдается поведение типа критической экспоненты, которое коррелирует с поведением, определяемым транспортыми свойствами. Полученные результаты обсуждаются в связи с недавними моделями структуры воды, полученными на основе моделирования молекулярной динамики и нычислений связности.

     

Interplay of metamagnetic and structural transitions in Ca2-xSrxRuO4

Metamagnetism in layered ruthenates has been interpreted as a novel kind of quantum critical behavior. In an external magnetic field, Ca_2-xSr_xRuO₄ undergoes a metamagnetic transition accompanied by a pronounced magnetostriction effect. In this paper we present a mean-field study for a microscopic model that naturally reproduces the key features of this system. The phase diagram calculated is equivalent to the experimental T-x phase diagram. The presented model also gives a good basis to discuss the critical metamagnetic behavior measured in the system.     

Comparative atomistic and coarse-grained study of water: What do we lose by coarse-graining?

We employ the inverse Boltzmann method to coarse-grain three commonly used three-site water models (TIP3P, SPC and SPC/E) where one molecule is replaced with one coarse-grained particle with isotropic two-body interactions only. The shape of the coarse-grained potentials is dominated by the ratio of two lengths, which can be rationalized by the geometric constraints of the water clusters. It is shown that for simple two-body potentials either the radial distribution function or the geometrical packing can be optimized. In a similar way, as needed for multiscale methods, either the pressure or the compressibility can be fitted to the all atom liquid. In total, a speed-up by a factor of about 50 in computational time can be reached by this coarse-graining procedure.     

Electronic structure and magnetism of disordered bcc Fe alloys

We study the electronic structure and magnetic properties of disordered bcc Co_xFe_1-x, Cr_xFe_1-x and Mn_xFe_1-x alloys in their ferromagnetic phases using the Augmented Space Recursion (ASR) technique coupled with the tight-binding linearized muffin tin orbital (TB-LMTO) method. We calculate the density of states and magnetic moment of these alloys to show the variation upon alloying Fe with the other neighbouring 3d transition metals using arguments based on charge transfer, exchange splitting and hybridization effects.
