    Effect of external electric field on the charge density waves in one dimensional Hubbard superlattices

    Full text link
    We have studied the ground state of the one dimensional Hubbard superlattice structures with different unit cell sizes in the presence of electric field. Self consistent Hartree-Fock approximation calculation is done in the weak to intermediate interaction regime. Studying the charge gap at the Fermi level and the charge density structure factor, we get an idea how the charge modulation on the superlattice is governed by the competition between the electronic correlation and the external electric field.Comment: 6 pages, 8 figures. accepted in Journal of Physics: Condensed Matte

    Gap solitons with null-scattering

    Full text link
    We study excitation of gap solitons under the conditions of coherent perfect absorption (CPA). Our system consists of a symmetric periodic structure with alternating Kerr nonlinear and linear layers, illuminated from both the ends. We show near-total transfer of incident light energy into the gap solitons resulting in null-scattering. We also report on the nonlinear super-scattering (SS) states. Both the CPA and the SS states are shown to be characterized by typical field distributions. Both the exact and the approximate results (based on nonlinear characteristic matrix method) are presented, which show good agreement

    Resonance State Wave Functions of 15^{15}Be using Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics

    Full text link
    The theoretical procedure of supersymmetric quantum mechanics is adopted to generate the resonance state wave functions of the unbound nucleus 15^{15}Be. In this framework, we used a density dependent M3Y microscopic potential and arrived at the energy and width of the 1.8 MeV (5/2+^+) resonance state. We did not find any other nearby resonances for 15^{15}Be. It becomes apparent that the present framework is a powerful tool to theoretically complement the increasingly important accelerator based experiments with unbound nuclei.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, Phys.

    Cavity controlled spectral singularity

    Full text link
    We study theoretically a PT-symmetric saturable balanced gain-loss system in a ring cavity configuration. The saturable gain and loss are modeled by two-level medium with or without population inversion. We show that the specifics of the spectral singularity can be fully controlled by the cavity and the atomic detuning parameters. The theory is based on the mean-field approximation as in standard theory of optical bistability. Further, in the linear regime we demonstrate the regularization of the singularity in detuned systems, while larger input power levels are shown to be adequate to limit the infinite growth in absence of detunin

    Comparative study of the electron conduction in azulene and naphthalene

    Get PDF
    We have studied the feasibility of electron conduction in azulene molecule and compared with that in its isomer naphthalene. We have used non-equilibrium Green's function formalism to measure the current in our systems as a response of the external electric field. Parallely we have performed the Gaussian calculations with electric field in the same bias window to observe the impact of external bias on the wave functions of the systems. We have found that, the conduction of azulene is higher than that of naphthalene inspite of its intrinsic donor-acceptor property, which leads a system to more insulating state. Due to stabilization through charge transfer the azulene system can be fabricated as a very effective molecular wire. Our calculations shows the possibility of huge device application of azulene in nano-scale instruments.Comment: 6 pages, 8 figure
