Orbital-transverse density-wave instabilities in iron-based superconductors
Besides the conventional spin-density-wave (SDW) state, a new kind of
orbital-transverse density-wave (OTDW) state is shown to exist generally in
multi-orbital systems. We demonstrate that the orbital character of Fermi
surface nesting plays an important role in density responses. The relationship
between antiferromagnetism and structural phase transition in LaFeAsO (1111)
and BaFeAs (122) compounds of iron-based superconductors may be
understood in terms of the interplay between the SDW and OTDW with a
five-orbital Hamiltonian. We propose that the essential difference between 1111
and 122 compounds is crucially determined by the presence of the
two-dimensional -like Fermi surface around (0,0) being only in 1111
parent compounds.Comment: several parts were rewritten for clarity. 6 pages, 3 figures, 1 tabl

Quantum master equation scheme of time-dependent density functional theory to time-dependent transport in nano-electronic devices
In this work a practical scheme is developed for the first-principles study
of time-dependent quantum transport. The basic idea is to combine the transport
master-equation with the well-known time-dependent density functional theory.
The key ingredients of this paper include: (i) the partitioning-free initial
condition and the consideration of the time-dependent bias voltages which base
our treatment on the Runge-Gross existence theorem; (ii) the non-Markovian
master equation for the reduced (many-body) central system (i.e. the device);
and (iii) the construction of Kohn-Sham master equation for the reduced
single-particle density matrix, where a number of auxiliary functions are
introduced and their equations of motion (EOM) are established based on the
technique of spectral decomposition. As a result, starting with a well-defined
initial state, the time-dependent transport current can be calculated
simultaneously along the propagation of the Kohn-Sham master equation and the
EOM of the auxiliary functions.Comment: 9 pages, no figure
Transonic Shocks In Multidimensional Divergent Nozzles
We establish existence, uniqueness and stability of transonic shocks for
steady compressible non-isentropic potential flow system in a multidimensional
divergent nozzle with an arbitrary smooth cross-section, for a prescribed exit
pressure. The proof is based on solving a free boundary problem for a system of
partial differential equations consisting of an elliptic equation and a
transport equation. In the process, we obtain unique solvability for a class of
transport equations with velocity fields of weak regularity(non-Lipschitz), an
infinite dimensional weak implicit mapping theorem which does not require
continuous Frechet differentiability, and regularity theory for a class of
elliptic partial differential equations with discontinuous oblique boundary
conditions.Comment: 54 page
