Analytical Solution and Production of Coherent State of the Generalized Dissipative Two-Mode Optical System

We obtain the analytical solution to the master equation in the photon number representation by using algebraic dynamical method in the nonautonomous case. Based on the solution we find that a two-mode coherent sate can be produced within dissipative background, and the averaged photon number for each mode is related to the damping constant, external field amplitude and coupling constant between two modes.     

Quantum nonintegrability and the classical limit for usp(4) systems

We investigate the transition from integrability to chaos in a system built of usp(4) elements, both in the quantum case and in its classical limit, obtained using coherent states. This algebraic Hamiltonian consists in an integrable term plus a nonlinear perturbation, and we see that the level spacing distribution for the quantum system is well approximated by the Berry-Robnik-Brody distribution, and accordingly the classical limit displays mixed dynamics.     

Optical gain of interdiffused GaInNAs/GaAs quantum wells

A self-consistent model for the band structure and optical gain spectra in interdiffused Ga_xIn_1-xN_0.04As_0.96/GaAs single quantum wells are studied theoretically using Fick’s Law and the Fermi Golden Rule. Due to quantum-well interdiffusion, the peak gain and its peak vary with the annealing time. Our results show that the interdiffusion technique can be used to tune the operation wavelength for multi-wavelength applications without degradation of device performance.

Flow to strong coupling in the two-dimensional Hubbard model

We extend the analysis of the renormalization group flow in the two-dimensional Hubbard model close to half-filling using the recently developed temperature flow formalism. We investigate the interplay of d-density wave and Fermi surface deformation tendencies with those towards d-wave pairing and antiferromagnetism. For a ratio of next nearest to nearest neighbor hoppings, t'/t = - 0.25, and band fillings where the Fermi surface is inside the Umklapp surface, only the d-pairing susceptibility diverges at low temperatures. When the Fermi surface intersects the Umklapp surface close to the saddle points, d-wave pairing, d-density wave, antiferromagnetic and, to a weaker extent, d-wave Fermi surface deformation susceptibilities grow together when the interactions flow to strong coupling. We interpret these findings as indications for a non-trivial strongly coupled phase with short-ranged superconducting and antiferromagnetic correlations, in close analogy with the spin liquid ground state in the well-understood two-leg Hubbard ladder.

d = 3 anisotropic and d = 2 tJ models: phase diagrams, thermodynamic properties, and chemical potential shift

The anisotropic d=3 tJ model is studied by renormalization-group theory, yielding the evolution of the system as interplane coupling is varied from the isotropic three-dimensional to quasi-two-dimensional regimes. Finite-temperature phase diagrams, chemical potential shifts, and in-plane and interplane kinetic energies and antiferromagnetic correlations are calculated for the entire range of electron densities. We find that the novel τ phase, seen in earlier studies of the isotropic d=3 tJ model, persists even for strong anisotropy. While the τ phase appears at low temperatures at 30–35% hole doping away from 〈 n_i〉=1, at smaller hole dopings we see a complex lamellar structure of antiferromagnetic and disordered regions, with a suppressed chemical potential shift, a possible marker of incommensurate ordering in the form of microscopic stripes. An investigation of the renormalization-group flows for the isotropic two-dimensional tJ model also shows a clear pre-signature of the τ phase, which in fact appears with finite transition temperatures upon addition of the smallest interplane coupling.     

A microscopic model for the intrinsic Josephson tunneling in high- superconductors

A quantitative analysis of a microscopic model for the intrinsic Josephson effect in high-temperature superconductors based on interlayer tunneling is presented both within a mean-field BCS evaluation and a numerically essentially exact Quantum Monte-Carlo study. The pairing correlations in the CuO₂-planes are modelled by a 2D Hubbard model with attractive interaction, a model which accounts well for some of the observed features such as the short planar coherence length. The stack of Hubbard planes is arranged on a torus, which is threaded by a magnetic flux. The current perpendicular to the planes is calculated as a function of applied flux (i.e. the phase), and - after careful elimination of finite-size effects due to single-particle tunneling - found to display a sinusoidal field dependence in accordance with interlayer Josephson tunneling. Studies of the temperature dependence of the supercurrent reveal at best a mild elevation of the Josephson transition temperature compared to the planar Kosterlitz-Thouless temperature. These and other results on the dependence of the model parameters are compared with a standard BCS evaluation. Received: 24 February 1998 / Revised: 28 April 1998 / Accepted: 23 June 1998     

Canonical dressing in the multimode two-quantum Jaynes-Cummings model

Based upon the hidden Lie SU(1,1) symmetry, we have constructed the unitary decoupling transformation which diagonalizes the multimode two-quantum Jaynes-Cummings model and provides us with an extremely convenient basis to gain a deeper understanding of the dressing processes present in the matter-field interaction. This canonical transformation approach is very simple and can be easily extended to other generalized Jaynes-Cummings models.

Optical functions of InGaP/GaAs epitaxial layers from 0.01 to 5.5 eV

In_0.49Ga_0.51P films, both undoped and doped n- and p-type (up to 10¹⁸ cm^-3), were grown lattice matched on GaAs substrates, with different miscut angles, by Metal-Organic Vapour Phase Epitaxy (MOVPE) at different temperatures. The shift of the fundamental gap E₀, caused by “ordering effect” was measured as a function of temperature by photoluminescence. The complex refractive index = n + ik and the dielectric function = ɛ ₁ + iɛ ₂ at room temperature were determined from 0.01 to 5.5 eV by using complementary data from fast-Fourier-transform far-infrared (FFT-FIR), dispersive, and ellipsometric spectroscopies. The effect of the native oxide was accounted for and the self-consistency of the optical functions was checked in the framework of the Kramers-Kronig causality relations. In the restrahlen region the dielectric function was well fitted by classical Lorentz oscillators; in the transparent region below E₀, the refractive index was modelled by a Sellmeier dispersion relation; in the interband region the dielectric function was well reproduced by analytical lineshapes associated to seven critical points. Thus parametrized analytical expressions were obtained for the optical functions all over the spectral range, without discontinuities, to be used in the modelling and characterization of multi-layer structures, also on opaque substrates.

Generalized Supersymmetric Perturbation Theory

Using the basic ingredient of supersymmetry, a simple alternative approach is developed to perturbation theory in one-dimensional non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The formulae for the energy shifts and wavefunctions do not involve tedious calculations which appear in the available perturbation theories. The model applicable in the same form to both the ground state and excited bound states, unlike the recently introduced supersymmetric perturbation technique which, together with other approaches based on logarithmic perturbation theory, are involved within the more general framework of the present formalism.     

Ferrimagnetic ground state of a phenylene polymer with organic radicals

A ferrimagnetic polymer with m-phenylene skeleton as coupling unit is studied with the Hubbard model in the self-consistent mean-field theory. The ferrimagnetic ground state with a total spin S = 1 per unit cell is obtained and originates from the antiferromagnetic correlations between the nearest neighbors. If the on-site electron-electron repulsions at the radical sites and at the phenylene ring sites are different, the gap in energy band structure may disappear and the ferrimagnetic ground state becomes unstable. The charge density and spin density can transfer between the radical sites and the phenylene ring sites due to the competition between the hopping integral and the on-site repulsion at different sites.
