New Ni(II)Cu(II)Ni(II) trinuclear complexes with an 5=3/2 high-spin ground

Four new heterotrinuclear complexes have been synthesized and characterized, namely {[Ni(L)₂]₂[Cu(opba)]}(ClO₄)₂, where opba denotes o-phenylenebis(oxamato) and L stands for 1,10-phenanthroline(phen) (1), 5-nitro-l,10-phenanthroline(NO₂-phen) (2), 2,2′-bipyridyl(bpy) (S) and 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridyl(Me₂bpy) (4). The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of {[Ni(phen)₂]₂[Cu(opba)]}(ClO₄)₂3H₂O has been studied in the 4–300 K range, giving the exchange integral J—109 cm^?1. The HMT vs. T plot exhibits a minimum at about 100 K, characteristic of this kind of coupled polymetallic complex with an irregular spin-state structure.

Nonlinear Dynamics of Two-Degrees-of-Freedom Fluid Conveying Elasto-Visco-Plastic Model System

The local and global nonlinear dynamics of a two-degrees-of-freedom model system conveying fluid is studied. The undeflected model consistsof an inverted T formed by three rigid rods, with the tips of the twohorizontal rods resting on the viscous foundation. The foundationexhibits a visco-elasto-plastic response, including the Bauschingereffect. The vertical rigid rod of an annular cross-section is subjectedto a conservative (dead) force. Also, it conveys fluid having bothstatic and pulsation components. First, the method of multiple scales isused for the analysis of the local dynamics of the system withvisco-elastic response. Attention is focused on modal interactionphenomena in weak excitation at primary resonance and on hardsub-harmonic excitation. Two different asymptotic expansions areutilised to get a structural response for typical ranges of excitationparameters. Numerical integration of the governing equations is thenperformed to validate the results of asymptotic analysis in each case. Afull global nonlinear dynamics analysis of the visco-elasto-plasticsystem is performed. The role of plastic deformations in thedestabilisation of the system is discussed. Large-amplitude nonlinearoscillations of the visco-elasto-plastic system are studied, includingthe influence of material hardening and of static and periodiccomponents of pulsating fluid. Chaotic regimes of motion with andwithout plastic effects are considered. The results of the analysis maybe used in devices composed of a rather short tube connected to a notcompletely fixed foundation resting on the soil exhibitingelasto-plastic behaviour.

Parametric excitation of beams moving over supports

Studied in this work are the formulation of equations of motion and the response to parametric excitation of a uniform cantilever beam moving longitudinally over a single bilateral support. The equations of motion are generated by using assumed modes to discretize the beam, by regarding the support as a kinematic constraint, and by employing an alternate form of Kane's method that is particularly well suited to systems subject to constraints. Instability information is developed using the results of perturbation analysis for harmonic longitudinal motions of small amplitude and with Floquet theory for general periodic motions of any amplitude. Results demonstrate that definitive instability information can be obtained for a beam moving longitudinally over supports based on the frequencies of free transverse vibration of a beam that is longitudinally fixed.     

Exact ground states of Ising spin glasses: New experimental results with a branch-and-cut algorithm

In this paper we study two-dimensional Ising spin glasses on a grid with nearest neighbor and periodic boundary interactions, based on a Gaussian bond distribution, and an exterior magnetic field. We show how using a technique called branch and cut, the exact ground states of grids of sizes up to 100×100 can be determined in a moderate amount of computation time, and we report on extensive computational tests. With our method we produce results based on more than 20,000 experiments on the properties of spin glasses whose errors depend only on the assumptions on the model and not on the computational process. This feature is a clear advantage of the method over other, more popular ways to compute the ground state, like Monte Carlo simulation including simulated annealing, evolutionary, and genetic algorithms, that provide only approximate ground states with a degree of accuracy that cannot be determineda priori. Our ground-state energy estimation at zero field is –1.317.     

A remark on the KAM theorem applied to a four-vortex system

We consider a planar four-vortex system with unit intensities and apply the KAM theorem for two-dimensional tori with fixed frequency. We obtain a rigorous lower bound for the stochasticity threshold of the torus with rotation number=(5—1)/2 and compare our result with numerical experiments.     

Classical Lattice-Gas Models of Quasicrystals

One of the fundamental problems of quasicrystals is to understand their occurrence in microscopic models of interacting particles. We review here recent attempts to construct stable quasicrystalline phases. In particular, we compare two recently constructed classical lattice-gas models with translation-invariant interactions and without periodic ground-state configurations. The models are based on nonperiodic tilings of the plane by square-like tiles. In the first model, all interactions can be minimized simultaneously. The second model is frustrated; its nonperiodic ground state can arise only by the minimization of the energy of competing interactions. We put forward some hypotheses concerning stabilities of nonperiodic ground states. In particular, we introduce two criteria, the so-called strict boundary conditions, and prove their equivalence to the zero-temperature stability of ground states against small perturbations of potentials of interacting particles. We discuss the relevance of these conditions for the low-temperature stability, i.e., for the existence of thermodynamically stable nonperiodic equilibrium states.     

Spectral densities of response functions for the O(3) symmetric Anderson and two channel Kondo models

The O(3) symmetric Anderson model is an example of a system which has a stable low energy marginal Fermi liquid fixed point for a certain choice of parameters. It is also exactly equivalent, in the large U limit, to a localized model which describes the spin degrees of freedom of the linear dispersion two channel Kondo model. We first use an argument based on conformal field theory to establish this precise equivalence with the two channel model. We then use the numerical renormalization group (NRG) approach to calculate both one-electron and two-electron response functions for a range of values of the interaction strength U. We compare the behaviours about the marginal Fermi liquid and Fermi liquid fixed points and interpret the results in terms of a renormalized Majorana fermion picture of the elementary excitations. In the marginal Fermi liquid case the spectral densities of all the Majorana fermion modes display a dependence on the lowest energy scale, and in addition the zero Majorana mode has a delta function contribution. The weight of this delta function is studied as a function of the interaction U and is found to decrease exponentially with U for large U. Using the equivalence with the two channel Kondo model in the large U limit, we deduce the dynamical spin susceptibility of the two channel Kondo model over the full frequency range. We use renormalized perturbation theory to interpret the results and to calculate the coefficient of the ln divergence found in the low frequency behaviour of the T=0 dynamic susceptibility.
