Nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of 31P donors in silicon quantum computer
The influence of the electric field created by a gate potential of the
silicon quantum computer on the hyperfine interaction constant (HIC) is
obtained. The errors due to technological inaccuracy of location of donor atoms
under a gate are evaluated. The energy spectra of electron-nuclear spin system
of two interacting donor atoms with various values of HIC are calculated. The
presence of two pairs of anticrossing levels in the ground electronic state is
shown. Parameters of the structure at which errors rate can be greatly
minimized are found.Comment: 12 pages,, 3 figure
Decomposition process in a FeAuPd alloy nanostructured by severe plastic deformation
The decomposition process mechanisms have been investigated in a Fe50Au25Pd25
(at.%) alloy processed by severe plastic deformation. Phases were characterized
by X-ray diffraction and microstructures were observed using transmission
electron microscopy. In the coarse grain alloy homogenized and aged at , the bcc \alpha-Fe and fcc AuPd phases nucleate in the fcc
supersaturated solid solution and grow by a discontinuous precipitation process
resulting in a typical lamellar structure. The grain size of the homogenized
FeAuPd alloy was reduced in a range of 50 to 100nm by high pressure torsion.
Aging at this nanostructure leads to the decomposition
of the solid solution into an equi-axed microstructure. The grain growth is
very limited during aging and the grain size remains under 100nm. The
combination of two phases with different crystallographic structures (bcc
\alpha-Fe and fcc AuPd) and of the nanoscaled grain size gives rise to a
significant hardening of the allo
Density Functional Theory for a Confined Fermi System with Short-Range Interaction
Effective field theory (EFT) methods are applied to density functional theory
(DFT) as part of a program to systematically go beyond mean-field approaches to
medium and heavy nuclei. A system of fermions with short-range, natural
interactions and an external confining potential (e.g., fermionic atoms in an
optical trap) serves as a laboratory for studying DFT/EFT. An effective action
formalism leads to a Kohn-Sham DFT by applying an inversion method
order-by-order in the EFT expansion parameter. Representative results showing
the convergence of Kohn-Sham calculations at zero temperature in the local
density approximation (LDA) are compared to Thomas-Fermi calculations and to
power-counting estimates.Comment: 36 pages, 20 figures, RevTeX
