Transparenz und Evaluierbarkeit des erziehungswissenschaftlichen Publikationsaufkommens. Eine anwendungsorientierte Studie
Der Beitrag stellt Ziele und erste Ergebnisse des DFG-Projekts "Innovative bibliometrische Verfahren zur kontinuierlichen Beobachtung der sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschungsproduktion" vor. Eine Analyse des Publikationsverhaltens von Erziehungswissenschaftlern zeigt die große Bedeutung des Publikationstyps Sammelwerksbeitrag und der Publikationssprache Deutsch, aber auch eine ausgeprägte Heterogenität in der Publikationspraxis von erziehungswissenschaftlichen Institutionen. Skizziert wird schließlich der Vorschlag für einen neuen, dieser Publikationspraxis angemessenen, bibliometrischen Indikator. (DIPF/Autor
Scaling Invariance in a Time-Dependent Elliptical Billiard
We study some dynamical properties of a classical time-dependent elliptical
billiard. We consider periodically moving boundary and collisions between the
particle and the boundary are assumed to be elastic. Our results confirm that
although the static elliptical billiard is an integrable system, after to
introduce time-dependent perturbation on the boundary the unlimited energy
growth is observed. The behaviour of the average velocity is described using
scaling arguments
Competing Ground States of the New Class of Halogen-Bridged Metal Complexes
Based on a symmetry argument, we study the ground-state properties of
halogen-bridged binuclear metal chain complexes. We systematically derive
commensurate density-wave solutions from a relevant two-band Peierls-Hubbard
model and numerically draw the the ground-state phase diagram as a function of
electron-electron correlations, electron-phonon interactions, and doping
concentration within the Hartree-Fock approximation. The competition between
two types of charge-density-wave states, which has recently been reported
experimentally, is indeed demonstrated.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures embedded, to appear in J. Phys. Soc. Jp
Topological Dislocations and Mixed State of Charge Density Waves
We discuss the possibility of the ``mixed state'' in incommensurate charge
density waves with three-dimensional order. It is shown that the mixed state
can be created by applying an electric field perpendicular to the chains. This
state consists of topological dislocations induced by the external field and is
therefore similar to the mixed states of superfluids (type-II superconductor or
liquid Helium II). However, the peculiar coupling of charge density waves with
the electric field strongly modifies the nature of the mixed state compared to
the conventional superfluids. The field and temperature dependence of the
properties of the mixed state are studied, and some experimental aspects are
discussed.Comment: 10 pages, Revtex format, no figures, to appear in Phys. Rev. Let
Complex paths for regular-to-chaotic tunneling rates
In generic Hamiltonian systems tori of regular motion are dynamically
separated from regions of chaotic motion in phase space. Quantum mechanically
these phase-space regions are coupled by dynamical tunneling. We introduce a
semiclassical approach based on complex paths for the prediction of dynamical
tunneling rates from regular tori to the chaotic region. This approach is
demonstrated for the standard map giving excellent agreement with numerically
determined tunneling rates.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
The Holstein Polaron
We describe a variational method to solve the Holstein model for an electron
coupled to dynamical, quantum phonons on an infinite lattice. The variational
space can be systematically expanded to achieve high accuracy with modest
computational resources (12-digit accuracy for the 1d polaron energy at
intermediate coupling). We compute ground and low-lying excited state
properties of the model at continuous values of the wavevector in
essentially all parameter regimes. Our results for the polaron energy band,
effective mass and correlation functions compare favorably with those of other
numerical techniques including DMRG, Global Local and exact diagonalization. We
find a phase transition for the first excited state between a bound and unbound
system of a polaron and an additional phonon excitation. The phase transition
is also treated in strong coupling perturbation theory.Comment: 24 pages, 11 figures submitted to PR
Characterization of halogen-bridged binuclear metal complexes as hybridized two-band materials
We study the electronic structure of halogen-bridged binuclear metal (MMX)
complexes with a two-band Peierls-Hubbard model. Based on a symmetry argument,
various density-wave states are derived and characterized. The ground-state
phase diagram is drawn within the Hartree-Fock approximation, while the thermal
behavior is investigated using a quantum Monte Carlo method. All the
calculations conclude that a typical MMX compound Pt_2(CH_3CS_2)_4I should
indeed be regarded as a d-p-hybridized two-band material, where the oxidation
of the halogen ions must be observed even in the ground state, whereas another
MMX family (NH_4)_4[Pt_2(P_2O_5H_2)_4X] may be treated as single-band
materials.Comment: 16 pages, 11 figures embedded, to be published in Phys. Rev.
Electronic transport and magnetism in the alternating stack of metallic and highly frustrated magnetic layers in CoNbS
CoNbS is the only magnetically intercalated layered transition
metal dichalcogenide (TMD) suggested to experience the complete suppression of
magnetic order under pressure. From elastic neutron scattering we report the
direct evidence for the reduction of the antiferromagnetic ordering temperature
under pressure, up to complete suppression of magnetic order around 1.7 GPa.
The static and ac magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal strong
frustration in the magnetic subsystem, and spin canting responsible for the
appearance of ferromagnetic (FM) component in dominantly antiferromagnetic (AF)
ordered state. The electric transport in directions perpendicular and parallel
to layers is explored for the first time in magnetically intercalated TMDs, in
the wide temperature and pressure ranges. We show that electric transport
reacts differently to magnetic ordering in directions along and perpendicular
to layers, with the in-plane conductivity increasing, and the out-of-plane
conductivity decreasing in the ordered state. At pressures above 3 GPa, we
identify the appearance of the Kondo scattering regime. We use ab-initio
calculations to explore the electronic structure in magnetically ordered state,
the nature of magnetic interactions, and the mechanism responsible for the
changes observed under pressure. The mechanisms of suppression of magnetic
order under pressure are scrutinized in the light of these experimental and
theoretical findings. We conclude that magnetic couplings beyond
nearest-neighbors determine the nature of magnetic ordering. The suppression of
ordering under pressure is ascribed to the pressure-induced shift in balance
between super-exchange and Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) magnetic
couplings, leading to amplified magnetic frustration.Comment: 34 pages, 17 figure
The intermediate level statistics in dynamically localized chaotic eigenstates
We demonstrate that the energy or quasienergy level spacing distribution in dynamically localized chaotic eigenstates is excellently described by the Brody distribution, displaying the fractional power law level repulsion. This we show in two paradigmatic systems, namely for the fully chaotic eigenstates of the kicked rotator at K = 7, and for the chaotic eigenstates in the mixed-type billiard system (Robnik 1983), after separating the regular and chaotic eigenstates by means of the Poincaré Husimi function, at very high energies with great statistical significance (587654 eigenstates, starting at about 1000000 above the ground state). This separation confirms the Berry-Robnik picture, and is performed for the first time at such high energies
