    Rating of Mixed Split Residential Air Conditioners

    Get PDF
    A methodology is presented for rating the performance of mixed, split residential air conditioners. The method accounts for the impact on system performance of the indoor evaporator, expansion device and fan; three major components that are likely to be substituted for the matched components in a mixed system. The method allows calculation of capacity at 95°F rating point and seasonal energy efficiency ratio, SEER, without performing laboratory test of the complete system. Limitations of the procedure, present work, and anticipated improvements are also discussed

    Correlation effects on electronic and optical properties of a C60 molecule: A variational Monte Carlo study

    Get PDF
    The electronic and optical properties of the neutral C60 molecule are investigated in the extended Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model including a Hubbard-type on-site interaction by the variational Monte Carlo (VMC) method. The optical energy gap Eg of the molecule and the energies of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) have been calculated as functions of the Hubbard interaction strength U divided by the hopping constant t. It is found that the energy of both the HOMO and LUMO levels increase almost equally with increase of U/t, so that the Hubbard term U/t has only a weak effect on Eg for intermediate interaction strengths (U/t<5). This is significantly different from the situation in conducting polymers. Pair-binding energies in the singlet and triplet states have also been calculated by the VMC method for nondimerized molecules, and a comparison has been made with the results obtained by perturbation theory. © 1996 The American Physical Society.published_or_final_versio

    A Pixel Vertex Tracker for the TESLA Detector

    Get PDF
    In order to fully exploit the physics potential of a e+e- linear collider, such as TESLA, a Vertex Tracker providing high resolution track reconstruction is required. Hybrid Silicon pixel sensors are an attractive sensor technology option due to their read-out speed and radiation hardness, favoured in the high rate TESLA environment, but have been so far limited by the achievable single point space resolution. A novel layout of pixel detectors with interleaved cells to improve their spatial resolution is introduced and the results of the characterisation of a first set of test structures are discussed. In this note, a conceptual design of the TESLA Vertex Tracker, based on hybrid pixel sensors is presentedComment: 20 pages, 11 figure

    Simple theory of extremely overdoped HTS

    Full text link
    We demonstrate the existence of a simple physical picture of superconductivity for extremely overdoped CuO2 planes. It possesses all characteristic features of HTS, such as a high superconducting transition temperature, the dx2−y2d_{x^2 - y^2} symmetry of order parameter, and the coexistence of a single electron Fermi surface and a pseudogap in the normal state. Values of pseudogap are calculated for different doping levels. An orbital paramagnetism of preformed pairs is predicted.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figur

    Metal-insulator crossover in the Boson-Fermion model in infinite dimensions

    Full text link
    The Boson-Fermion model, describing a mixture of tightly bound electron pairs and quasi-free electrons hybridized with each other via a charge exchange term, is studied in the limit of infinite dimensions, using the Non-Crossing Approximation within the Dynamical Mean Field Theory. It is shown that a metal-insulator crossover, driven by strong pair fluctuations, takes place as the temperature is lowered. It manifests itself in the opening of a pseudogap in the electron density of states, accompanied by a corresponding effect in the optical and dc conductivity.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, to be published in Phys.

    Unexpected coexisting solid solutions in the quasi-binary Ag(II)F2/Cu(II)F2 phase diagram

    Full text link
    High-temperature solid-state reaction between orthorhombic AgF2 and monoclinic CuF2 (y = 0.15, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) in a fluorine atmosphere resulted in coexisting solid solutions of Cu-poor orthorhombic and Cu-rich monoclinic phases with stoichiometry Ag1-xCuxF2. Based on X-ray powder diffraction analyses, the mutual solubility in the orthorhombic phase (AgF2 doped with Cu) appears to be at an upper limit of Cu concentration of 30 mol % (Ag0.7Cu0.3F2), while the monoclinic phase (CuF2 doped with Ag) can form a nearly stoichiometric Cu : Ag = 1 : 1 solid solution (Cu0.56Ag0.44F2), preserving the CuF2 crystal structure. Experimental data and DFT calculations showed that AgF2 doped with Cu and CuF2 doped with Ag solid solutions deviate from the classical Vegards law. Magnetic measurements of Ag1-xCuxF2 showed that the Neel temperature (TN) decreases with increasing Cu content in both phases. Likewise, theoretical DFT+U calculations for Ag1-xCuxF2 showed that the progressive substitution of Ag by Cu decreases the magnetic interaction strength (J2D) in both structures. Electrical conductivity measurements of Ag0.85Cu0.15F2 showed a ca. 2-fold increase in specific ionic conductivity (3.71 x 10-13 plus/minus 2.6 x 10-15 S/cm) as compared to pure AgF2 (1.85 x 10-13 plus/minus 1.2 x 10-15 S/cm), indicating the formation of a vacancy- or F adatom-free metal difluoride sample.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures, 1 Table, and electronic supplement of 14 page

    Power bounded composition operators on spaces of analytic functions

    Full text link
    We study the dynamical behaviour of composition operators defined on spaces of real analytic functions. We characterize when such operators are power bounded, i.e. when the orbits of all the elements are bounded. In this case this condition is equivalent to the composition operator being mean ergodic. In particular, we show that the composition operator is power bounded on the space of real analytic functions on Omega if and only if there is a basis of complex neighbourhoods U of Omega such that the operator is an endomorphism on the space of holomorphic functions on each U.The research of Bonet was partially supported by MEC and FEDER Project MTM2007-62643 and by GV Project Prometeo/2008/101.

    Non-linear feedback effects in coupled Boson-Fermion systems

    Full text link
    We address ourselves to a class of systems composed of two coupled subsystems without any intra-subsystem interaction: itinerant Fermions and localized Bosons on a lattice. Switching on an interaction between the two subsystems leads to feedback effects which result in a rich dynamical structure in both of them. Such feedback features are studied on the basis of the flow equation technique - an infinite series of infinitesimal unitary transformations - which leads to a gradual elimination of the inter-subsystem interaction. As a result the two subsystems get decoupled but their renormalized kinetic energies become mutually dependent on each other. Choosing for the inter - subsystem interaction a charge exchange term (the Boson-Fermion model) the initially localized Bosons acquire itinerancy through their dependence on the renormalized Fermion dispersion. This latter evolves from a free particle dispersion into one showing a pseudogap structure near the chemical potential. Upon lowering the temperature both subsystems simultaneously enter a macroscopic coherent quantum state. The Bosons become superfluid, exhibiting a soundwave like dispersion while the Fermions develop a true gap in their dispersion. The essential physical features described by this technique are already contained in the renormalization of the kinetic terms in the respective Hamiltonians of the two subsystems. The extra interaction terms resulting in the process of iteration only strengthen this physics. We compare the results with previous calculations based on selfconsistent perturbative approaches.Comment: 14 pages, 16 figures, accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
