Splitting of Spectra in Anharmonic Oscillators Described by Kratzer Potential Function

A perturbation theory model that describes splitting of the spectra in highly symmetrical molecular species in electrostatic field is proposed. An anahrmonic model of a two-dimensional oscillator having Kratzer potential energy functionis used to model the molecular species and to represent the unperturbed system. A selection rule for the radial quantum number of the oscillator is derived. The eigenfunctions of a two-dimensional anharmonic oscillator in cylindrical coordinates are used for the matrix elements representing the probability for energy transitions in dipole approximation to be calculated. Several forms of perturbation operators are proposed to model the interactionbetween the polyatomic molecular species and an electrostatic field. It is found that the degeneracy is removed in the presence of the electric field and spectral splitting occurs. Anharmonic approximation for the unperturbed system is more accurate and reliable representation of a real polyatomic molecular species.     

硅烯中受电场调控的体能隙和朗道能级

近年来, 硅烯(单层硅)由于其独特的结构和电子性质以及在量子霍尔效应等领域的潜在应用而成为理论和实验研究的一个热点. 借助于四带次近邻紧束缚模型, 详细计算和研究了硅烯中受电场调制的体能隙和电子能级. 结果表明: 硅烯原胞中的两个子格处于不同的平面上, 可以通过外电场区分和控制这两个子格, 这将破坏在纯石墨烯中无法被破坏的K-K'对称性, 并消除由这一对称性导致的电子能级的二重简并; 外加电场还会引起硅烯中次近邻格点之间的Rashba自旋轨道耦合, 这一作用会在不同狄拉克点有选择地消除电子能级在部分电场点的简并, 相邻能级从交叉状态变为反交叉状态; 电子能级中除一些孤立的交叉点外, 每个能级都具有确定的自旋取向, 石墨烯中电子能级的四重简并在硅烯中被完全消除, 从而导致填充因子ν=0, ±1, ±2, ±3,…的量子霍尔平台.     

The evolution of the cluster size distribution in a coagulation system

The coagulation equation with kernelK _ij =A+B(i+j)+C _ij and arbitrary initial conditions is studied analytically and a simple expression for the solution is found. For monodisperse initial conditions, we recover the known size distribution expressed in terms of a degeneracy factorN _k, which is determined by a recursion relation. For polydisperse initial conditions, a similar solution form is found, which includes a degeneracy factorN _kl, also determined by a recursion relation. The physical meaning ofN _kl and the recursion relation is given. A method to get explicit expressions forN _k andN _kl is illustrated. Finally, the pre-gel solution is given explicitly and a general method to get the post-gel solution is proposed.     

Thermodynamic conditions for a symmetric form of superfluid's equations

Summary Going on with a research started in a previous paper, we examine carefully Putterman's system of superfluid hydrodynamic equations, assuming as viewpoint the theory of quasi-linear hyperbolic symmetric systems with constraints. We prove that such a system is always hyperbolic. It can be put in a symmetric form, provided suitable thermodynamic conditions, ensuring the convexity of the entropy function, hold.

Riassunto Si approfondisce l'esame, iniziato in un precedente lavoro, del sistema di equazioni idrodinamiche del superfluido di Putterman dal punto di vista della teoria dei sistemi quasi lineari iperbolici simmetrici e con vincoli. Si dimostra che tale sistema è sempre iperbolico e può essere posto in forma simmetrica quando siano soddisfatte opportune condizioni termodinamiche che assicurano la convessità della funzione entropia.

One-dimensional Ising chain with competing interactions: Exact results and connection with other statistical models

We study the ground state properties of a one-dimensional Ising chain with a nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic interactionJ ₁, and akth neighboranti-ferromagnetic interactionJ _k . WhenJ _k/J₁=–1/k, there exists a highly degenerate ground state with a residual entropy per spin. For the finite chain with free boundary conditions, we calculate the degeneracy of this state exactly, and find that it is proportional to the (N+k–1)th term in a generalized Fibonacci sequence defined by,F _N ^(k) =F _N–1 ^(k) +F _N–k ^(k) . In addition, we show that this one-dimensional model is closely related to the following problems: (a) a fully frustrated two-dimensional Ising system with a periodic arrangement of nearest-neighbor ferro- and antiferromagnetic bonds, (b) close-packing of dimers on a ladder, a 2× strip of the square lattice, and (c) directed self-avoiding walks on finite lattice strips.Work partially supported by grants from AFOSR and ARO.     

Microscopic theory of quantum fluid at nonzero temperature. The momentum distribution,liquid-structure factor and ground-state energy of liquid4He

Summary Employing theU-matrix theory in the present form we have presented a microscopic theory of an interactingN-boson system at nonzero temperature. The Hamiltonian includes a term describing the external influence, a term for a two-particle interaction and one pertaining to the dipole-type interaction. To study the ground state of liquid⁴He, only the two-particle interaction is included. Based on scattering data, we have deduced the two-particle potential function. With that we calculate numerically the momentum atT=1.1 K for several sets of parameters. It is shown that the theoretical curves agree well with the observed results. The corresponding liquid-structure-factor curves fit the measured data very well and the best result for the ground-state energy is −7.12K.

Riassunto Impiegando la teoria della matriceU nella forma presente, abbiamo presentato una teoria microscopica di un sistema interagente diN bosoni a temperatura non nulla. L'hamiltoniana include un termine che descrive l'influenza esterna, un termine per un'interazione a 2 particelle e une che riguarda l'interazione di tipo dipolare. Per studiare lo stato fondamentale dell'⁴He liquido s'include solo l'interazione a 2 particelle. Basandoci su dati di scattering, abbiamo dedotto la funzione potenziale a 2 particelle. Con quella, calcoliamo numericamente la distribuzione dell'impulso aT=1.1K per diversi gruppi di parametri. Si mostra che le curve teoriche sono in buon accordo con i risultati osservati. Le corrispondenti curve del fattore di struttura del liquido si adattano benissimo ai dati misurati e il risultato migliore per l'energia dello stato fondamentale è − 7.12K.

生物声纳的高灵敏度和高可靠性一直是仿生设计所追求的目标, 然而至今仍没有一个令人信服的物理模型能很好得解释生物声纳优越性能的原因, 其主要是缺乏对动物听觉系统神经信息编码的认识. 本文从蝙蝠听觉神经系统的生理结构出发, 用圆映射和符号动力学方法讨论了蝙蝠听觉神经系统在复杂环境中处理多普勒信号的一种可能性方案, 并通过计算机仿真证明了其合理性. 针对蝙蝠神经系统的不稳定性, 用符号动力学的方法分析神经系统信息处理的机理具有良好的鲁棒性和高灵敏度. 这种新的信号处理方法的研究, 为生物声纳信号的处理过程的进一步认识提供了一种新的解释.     

饮用水激光拉曼光谱的比较与分析

为了对我国目前饮用水的质量进行有效检测,对市面上几种常用品牌的饮用水以及实验室提供的蒸馏水等样品做了测量和计算。运用激光拉曼光谱的分析方法,测量了它们的激光拉曼光谱。同时,通过测量计算了样品在对称伸缩振动处拉曼谱的退偏度。结果表明,在水样品的对称伸缩振动处,其拉曼谱的相对强度大小和退偏度的大小有着相同的规律。对结果进行比较和分析后得出了如下结论：可以从拉曼光谱特征峰相对强度的大小和同一特征峰下退偏度的大小两方面来判断饮用水中矿物质含量的相对多少。为鉴定饮用水的质量提供了新的有效途径。     

The Carnot efficiency enabled by complete degeneracies

Quantum-size effects unavoidably produce imperfect-regeneration heat losses in irreversible isothermal expansion/compression cycles, leading to the less efficiency of micro engines. Here, we design a smallest quantum Stirling-like heat engine using a single trapped electron as the working substance. The quantum probabilities to determine the electronic position are constructed from the incoherent mixed ensemble. When the quantum well expands isothermally to double its size and an infinite delta-function potential barrier is inserted in the middle, the complete degeneracies enable the heat engine to work reversibly and achieve the Carnot efficiency. The proposed theoretical model can open up new avenues for building practical nano-energy devices.
