A Novel Approach to Discontinuous Bond Percolation Transition
We introduce a bond percolation procedure on a -dimensional lattice where
two neighbouring sites are connected by channels, each operated by valves
at both ends. Out of a total of , randomly chosen valves are open at
every site. A bond is said to connect two sites if there is at least one
channel between them, which has open valves at both ends. We show analytically
that in all spatial dimensions, this system undergoes a discontinuous
percolation transition in the limit when
crosses a threshold. It must be emphasized
that, in contrast to the ordinary percolation models, here the transition
occurs even in one dimensional systems, albeit discontinuously. We also show
that a special kind of discontinuous percolation occurs only in one dimension
when depends on the system size.Comment: 6 pages, 6 eps figure
Quantum Phase Transitions in a Dimerized Bose-Hubbard Model: A DMRG Study
We investigate the phase diagram of a dimerized Bose-Hubbard model, using
density matrix renormalization group technique. We find a new phase, which is
the coexistence of superfluid and bond-wave phases, due to the effect of
dimerization. Experimentally dimerization in optical lattice can be realized by
using two counter propagating laser beams of different wavelengths. Apart from
the conventional superfluid to Mott insulator transition, we find a new quantum
phase transition: from superfluid-bond-wave to Mott insulator-bond wave phase.
Our study suggests a rich phase diagram which can be easily probed.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

One-Dimensional Organometallic V-Anthracene Wire and Its B-N Analogue: Efficient Half-Metallic Spin Filters
Using density functional theory, we have investigated the structural,
electronic and magnetic properties of infinitely periodic organometallic
vanadium-anthracene ([V_2Ant]_\infinity) and [V_4(BNAnt)_2]_\infinity(where
BNAnt is B-N analogue of anthracene) for their possible application in
spintronics. From our calculations, we find that one-dimensional
[V_2Ant]_\infinity and [V_4(BNAnt)_2]_\infinity wires exhibit robust
ferromagnetic half-metallic and metallic behavior, respectively. The finite
sized and clusters are also found to exhibit
efficient spin filter properties when coupled to graphene electrodes on either
side
The electronic and magnetic properties of a few transition-metal clusters
Using density functional theory we present a systematic study of the electronic and magnetic properties of various nickel clusters and two small bimetallic clusters, NinCo m and Nin Fem (n + m ≤ 6). A detail study of binding energy, magnetic moment and stability function of pure nickel clusters of nuclearity (N) 40-60 have been performed. We observe that the magic numbers occur at N = 43, 46, 49, 53, 55, and 58, which correspond to the most stable clusters. We find that, with increase in substitution of Co and Fe atoms in Ni cluster, while Ni nCo m becomes more stable, the NinFem clusters become less stable. The significant enhancement of average magnetic moment and suppression of local magnetic moment of nickel atoms are found in both clusters with increase in Co and Fe concentration
(85)Rb Bose-Einstein condensate with tunable interaction: A quantum many body approach
We present a quantum many body approach with van der Waal type of interaction to achieve (85)Rb Bose-Einstein condensate with tunable interaction which has been produced by magnetic field induced Feshbach resonance in the JILA experiment.
