Non-linear response to electric field in extended Hubbard models
The electric-field response of a one-dimensional ring of interacting
fermions, where the interactions are described by the extended Hubbard model,
is investigated. By using an accurate real-time propagation scheme based on the
Chebyshev expansion of the evolution operator, we uncover various non-linear
regimes for a range of interaction parameters that allows modeling of metallic
and insulating (either charge density wave or spin density wave insulators)
rings. The metallic regime appears at the phase boundary between the two
insulating phases and provides the opportunity to describe either weakly or
strongly correlated metals. We find that the {\it fidelity susceptibility} of
the ground state as a function of magnetic flux piercing the ring provides a
very good measure of the short-time response. Even completely different
interacting regimes behave in a similar manner at short time-scales as long as
the fidelity susceptibility is the same. Depending on the strength of the
electric field we find various types of responses: persistent currents in the
insulating regime, dissipative regime or damped Bloch-like oscillations with
varying frequencies or even irregular in nature. Furthermore, we also consider
the dimerization of the ring and describe the response of a correlated band
insulator. In this case the distribution of the energy levels is more clustered
and the Bloch-like oscillations become even more irregular
Field effect on surface states in a doped Mott-Insulator thin film
Surface effects of a doped thin film made of a strongly correlated material
are investigated both in the absence and presence of a perpendicular electric
field. We use an inhomogeneous Gutzwiller approximation for a single band
Hubbard model in order to describe correlation effects. For low doping, the
bulk value of the quasiparticle weight is recovered exponentially deep into the
slab, but with increasing doping, additional Friedel oscillations appear near
the surface. We show that the inverse correlation length has a power-law
dependence on the doping level. In the presence of an electrical field,
considerable changes in the quasiparticle weight can be realized throughout the
system. We observe a large difference (as large as five orders of magnitude) in
the quasiparticle weight near the opposite sides of the slab. This effect can
be significant in switching devices that use the surface states for transport

Widely tunable multiband reconfigurable patch antenna for wireless applications
The official published version can be obtained from the link below - Copyright @ EuCAP 2010A design of a low profile reconfigurable microstrip patch antenna is presented. The antenna consists of four suppatches
connected to one feed line, each sub-patch generates a single band. By placing a variable capacitor at the input of the
sub-patches, the impedance matching frequency of the antenna can be tuned over a wide range starting from 0.92 GHz to 2.98
GHz with total tunability rang of 2060 MHz. The proposed antenna designed to operate in the Global System for Mobile communication (GSM900, 880-960 MHz)/ Digital Communication System (DCS1800, 1710-1880 MHz)/ Universal
Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS, 1920-2170 MHz)/ Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN, 2400-2483.5 MHz)/ and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX,
2495-2700 MHz). The total size of the proposed antenna is 50 x 50 mm2 which is suitable for small wireless devices
A reconfigurable H-shape antenna for wireless applications
The official published version of this article can be obtained from the link below - Copyright @ EuCAP2010This paper presents a novel H-Shaped reconfigurable microstrip patch antenna fed by a Grounded Coplanar Waveguide (GCPW) for wireless applications. The uniqueness in the presented antenna design relies in the ability to select the number of operating frequencies electronically by using a varactor diode. The antenna structure consists of coplanar waveguide (CPW) input with an H-shape printed on a PCB and a varactor diode for reconfigurability. By electronically varying the value of the diode capacitance, the antenna can operate in a single band mode to cover Global Position System (GPS), a dual band mode to cover GPS and Global System for Mobile communications (GSM1900) or a three-band mode to cover GPS, GSM1900 and Bluetooth or Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN)

A reconfigurable CPW antenna for GPS, GSM and WLAN applications
Copyright @ 2011 IEEEMultiband reconfigurable antennas are
receiving increasing importance in modern wireless communication systems supporting multiservice applications. The main advantage is the reduction in the size of wireless devices and allowing more space for other electronic components to be fitted. A widely tunable antenna using PIN switches was presented in [1]. Reconfigurable multiband antennas for wireless systems including satellite and terrestrial
applications were reported in [2, 3]. This paper presents a new technique to electrically control the resonant frequencies by using a varactor diode. The antenna has an H-shape structure fed by a coplanar waveguide (CPW). It can generate and
control up to three resonant frequencies to be used in GPS, GSM and Bluetooth/WLAN applications
A reconfigurable wideband and multiband antenna using dual-patch elements for compact wireless devices
This is the post-print version of the Article. The official published version can be accessed from the link below - Copyright @ 2012 IEEEA reconfigurable wideband and multiband C-Slot patch antenna with dual-patch elements is proposed and studied. It occupies a compact volume of 50 × 50 × 1.57 (3925 mm3), including the ground plane. The antenna can operate in two dual-band modes and a wideband mode from 5 to 7 GHz. Two parallel C-Slots on the patch elements are employed to perturb the surface current paths for excitation of the dual-band and the wideband modes. Two switches, implemented using PIN diodes, are placed on the connecting lines of a simple feed network to the patch elements. Dual-band modes are achieved by switching “ON” either one of the two patch elements, while the wideband mode with an impedance bandwidth of 33.52% is obtained by switching “ON” both patch elements. The frequencies in the dual-band modes can be independently controlled using positions and dimensions of the C-Slots without affecting the wideband mode. The advantage of the proposed antenna is that two dual-band operations and one wideband operation can be achieved using the same dimensions. This overcomes the need for increasing the surface area normally incurred when designing wideband patch antennas. Simulation results are validated experimentally through prototypes. The measured radiation patterns and peak gains show stable responses and are in good agreements. Coupling between the two patch elements plays a major role for achieving the wide bandwidth and the effects of mutual coupling between the patch elements are also studied
THE TWO SCOPES OF FUZZY PROBABILITY THEORY
The aim of this work is to compare between what seems to be entirely different two highly developing “fuzzy probability” theories. The first theory had been developed firstly by statisticians and the other separately by physicists. We start by indicating the needs to develop such theories and what helped to develop each, then we will establish the basis of the two theories and illustrate that each indeed extends classical probability theory. Moreover, we will try to see whether or not any of the two theory can be embedded into the other
