    Modelling of flyback converter using state space averaging technique

    Get PDF
    In 1960s demand made by space programs led to the development of power supplies that are highly reliable, efficient, light weight and small in size. The innovative ideas of the engineer's usher in the era of modern power electronics and switch mode power supplies came into existence. Design and optimization of dc-dc converter which offers high efficiency, small converters with isolation transformers can have multiple outputs of various magnitudes and polarities. The regulated power supply of this type has a wide application such as digital systems, in TVs instrumentation system, in industry automation etc., where in a low voltage, high current power supply with low output ripple and fast transient response are essential. This paper gives the methodology to model flyback converter (24V dc - 5V dc) operating under continuous conduction mode by using state space averaging technique which linearizes the system and simplifies the designing procedure

    K-matrices for non-abelian quantum Hall states

    Get PDF
    Two fundamental aspects of so-called non-abelian quantum Hall states (the q-pfaffian states and more general) are a (generalized) pairing of the participating electrons and the non-abelian statistics of the quasi-hole excitations. In this paper, we show that these two aspects are linked by a duality relation, which can be made manifest by considering the K-matrices that describe the exclusion statistics of the fundamental excitations in these systems.Comment: LaTeX, 12 page

    On the Beta Function for Anisotropic Current Interactions in 2D

    Get PDF
    By making use of current-algebra Ward identities we study renormalization of general anisotropic current-current interactions in 2D. We obtain a set of algebraic conditions that ensure the renormalizability of the theory to all orders. In a certain minimal prescription we compute the beta function to all orders.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures. v2: References added and typos corrected; v3: cancellation of finite parts more accurately state

    Singular Density of States of Disordered Dirac Fermions in the Chiral Models

    Get PDF
    The Dirac fermion in the random chiral models is studied which includes the random gauge field model and the random hopping model. We focus on a connection between continuum and lattice models to give a clear perspective for the random chiral models. Two distinct structures of density of states (DoS) around zero energy, one is a power-law dependence on energy in the intermediate energy range and the other is a diverging one at zero energy, are revealed by an extensive numerical study for large systems up to 250×250250\times 250. For the random hopping model, our finding of the diverging DoS within very narrow energy range reconciles previous inconsistencies between the lattice and the continuum models.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

    Quasi-Spin-Charge Separation and the Spin Quantum Hall Effect

    Full text link
    We use quantum field theory methods to study the network model for the spin quantum hall transition. When the couplings are fine tuned in a certain way, the spin and charge degrees of freedom, corresponding to the supercurrent algebras su(2) and osp(2|2) respectively, decouple in the renormalization group flow. The infrared fixed point of this simpler theory is the coset osp(4|4)/su(2) which is closely related to the current algebra osp(2|2) but not identical. Some critical exponents are computed and shown to agree with the recent predictions based on percolation.Comment: 20 pages, two figures, Some subtleties in implementing the coset are pointed out, so that the resulting fixed point theory is not precisely the osp(2|2) current algebra. This modifies the comparison with percolatio

    Spectral Statistics in Chiral-Orthogonal Disordered Systems

    Full text link
    We describe the singularities in the averaged density of states and the corresponding statistics of the energy levels in two- (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) chiral symmetric and time-reversal invariant disordered systems, realized in bipartite lattices with real off-diagonal disorder. For off-diagonal disorder of zero mean we obtain a singular density of states in 2D which becomes much less pronounced in 3D, while the level-statistics can be described by semi-Poisson distribution with mostly critical fractal states in 2D and Wigner surmise with mostly delocalized states in 3D. For logarithmic off-diagonal disorder of large strength we find indistinguishable behavior from ordinary disorder with strong localization in any dimension but in addition one-dimensional 1/E1/|E| Dyson-like asymptotic spectral singularities. The off-diagonal disorder is also shown to enhance the propagation of two interacting particles similarly to systems with diagonal disorder. Although disordered models with chiral symmetry differ from non-chiral ones due to the presence of spectral singularities, both share the same qualitative localization properties except at the chiral symmetry point E=0 which is critical.Comment: 13 pages, Revtex file, 8 postscript files.

    Particle-hole symmetric localization in two dimensions

    Get PDF
    We revisit two-dimensional particle-hole symmetric sublattice localization problem, focusing on the origin of the observed singularities in the density of states ρ(E)\rho(E) at the band center E=0. The most general such system [R. Gade, Nucl. Phys. B {\bf 398}, 499 (1993)] exhibits critical behavior and has ρ(E)\rho(E) that diverges stronger than any integrable power-law, while the special {\it random vector potential model} of Ludwiget al [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 50}, 7526 (1994)] has instead a power-law density of states with a continuously varying dynamical exponent. We show that the latter model undergoes a dynamical transition with increasing disorder--this transition is a counterpart of the static transition known to occur in this system; in the strong-disorder regime, we identify the low-energy states of this model with the local extrema of the defining two-dimensional Gaussian random surface. Furthermore, combining this ``surface fluctuation'' mechanism with a renormalization group treatment of a related vortex glass problem leads us to argue that the asymptotic low EE behavior of the density of states in the {\it general} case is ρ(E)E1elnE2/3\rho(E) \sim E^{-1} e^{-|\ln E|^{2/3}}, different from earlier prediction of Gade. We also study the localized phases of such particle-hole symmetric systems and identify a Griffiths ``string'' mechanism that generates singular power-law contributions to the low-energy density of states in this case.Comment: 18 pages (two-column PRB format), 10 eps figures include

    Separation of spin and charge in paired spin-singlet quantum Hall states

    Get PDF
    We propose a series of paired spin-singlet quantum Hall states, which exhibit a separation of spin and charge degrees of freedom. The fundamental excitations over these states, which have filling fraction \nu=2/(2m+1) with m an odd integer, are spinons (spin-1/2 and charge zero) or fractional holons (charge +/- 1/(2m+1) and spin zero). The braid statistics of these excitations are non-abelian. The mechanism for the separation of spin and charge in these states is topological: spin and charge excitations are liberated by binding to a vortex in a p-wave pairing condensate. We briefly discuss related, abelian spin-singlet states and possible transitions.Comment: 4 pages, uses revtex
