Competing valence bond and symmetry breaking Mott states of spin-3/2 fermions on a honeycomb lattice
We investigate magnetic properties of strongly interacting four component
spin-3/2 ultracold fermionic atoms in the Mott insulator limit with one
particle per site in an optical lattice with honeycomb symmetry. In this limit,
atomic tunneling is virtual, and only the atomic spins can exchange. We find a
competition between symmetry breaking and liquid like disordered phases.
Particularly interesting are valence bond states with bond centered
magnetizations, situated between the ferromagnetic and conventional valence
bond phases. In the framework of a mean-field theory, we calculate the phase
diagram and identify an experimentally relevant parameter region where a
homogeneous SU(4) symmetric Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki-like valence bond state
is present
Optimally Dense Packings for Fully Asymptotic Coxeter Tilings by Horoballs of Different Types
The goal of this paper to determine the optimal horoball packing arrangements
and their densities for all four fully asymptotic Coxeter tilings (Coxeter
honeycombs) in hyperbolic 3-space . Centers of horoballs are
required to lie at vertices of the regular polyhedral cells constituting the
tiling. We allow horoballs of different types at the various vertices. Our
results are derived through a generalization of the projective methodology for
hyperbolic spaces. The main result states that the known B\"or\"oczky--Florian
density upper bound for "congruent horoball" packings of remains
valid for the class of fully asymptotic Coxeter tilings, even if packing
conditions are relaxed by allowing for horoballs of different types under
prescribed symmetry groups. The consequences of this remarkable result are
discussed for various Coxeter tilings.Comment: 26 pages, 10 figure
Phase Separation of Superfluids in the Chain of Four-Component Ultracold Atoms
We investigate the competition of various exotic superfluid states in a chain
of spin-polarized ultracold fermionic atoms with hyperfine spin and
s-wave contact interactions. We show that the ground state is an exotic
inhomogeneous mixture in which two distinct superfluid phases --- spin-carrying
pairs and singlet quartets --- form alternating domains in an extended region
of the parameter space
SU(N) quantum spin models: A variational wavefunction study
The study of SU(N) quantum spin models is relevant to a variety of physical
systems including ultracold atoms in optical lattices, and also leads to
insights into novel quantum phases and phase transitions of SU(2) spin models.
We use Gutzwiller projected fermionic variational wavefunctions to explore the
phase diagram and correlation functions of SU(N) spin models in the
self-conjugate representation, with Heisenberg bilinear and biquadratic
interactions. In 1D, the variational phase diagram of the SU(4) spin chain is
constructed by examining instabilities of the Gutzwiller projected free fermion
ground state to various broken symmetries, and it agrees well with exact
results.The spin and dimer correlations of the Gutzwiller projected free
fermion state with N flavors of fermions are also in good agreement with exact
and 1/N calculations for the critical points of SU(N) spin chains. In 2D, the
variational phase diagram on the square lattice is obtained by studying
instabilities of the Gutzwiller projected pi-flux state. The variational ground
state of the pure Heisenberg model is found to exhibit long range Neel order
for N=2,4 and spin Peierls order for N > 4. For N=4 and 6, biquadratic
interactions lead to a complex phase diagram which includes an extended valence
bond crystal in both cases, as well as a stable pi-flux phase for N=6. The spin
correlations of the projected pi-flux state at N=4 are in good agreement with
1/N calculations. We find that this state also shows strongly enhanced dimer
correlations, in qualitative accord with the large-N results. We compare our
results with a recent QMC study of the SU(4) Heisenberg model.Comment: 22 pages, 7 figs, added references to arxiv versio
The betatron and its medical application
It is well known, that high-energy electrons can be used for tumor therapy. The so-called conventionel therapy with 100 through 250keV x· rays causes a great part of the x.rays to be scattered and absorbed in the sane tissue. In spite of the medicamental radiation prophylaxis additional
radiation diseaes result by those compton scattered rays.
By application of fast electrons and hard x.rays (so called gamma. rays) one tries to diminish those undesired side-effects and at the same time to increase the therapeutical effect of the ray treatment. As radiation
source for fast electrons and hard gamma.rays one uses the Betatron, which was developed by NBRST in 1941 after preliminary operation of SLEPIAN, WALTON, WIDEROE and STEENDECK. The following statements are based on the references (1) through (6).</p
Possible phases of two coupled n-component fermionic chains
A two-leg ladder with -component fermionic fields in the chains has been
considered using an analytic renormalization group method. The fixed points and
possible phases have been determined for generic filling as well as for a
half-filled system and for the case when one of the subbands is half filled. A
weak-coupling Luttinger-liquid phase and several strong-coupling gapped phases
have been found. In the Luttinger liquid phase, for the most general spin
dependence of the couplings, all modes have different velocities if the
interband scattering processes are scaled out, while doubly degenerate
modes appear if the interband scattering processes remain finite. The role of
backward-scattering, charge-transfer and umklapp processes has been analysed
using their bosonic form and the possible phases are characterized by the
number of gapless modes. As a special case the SU() symmetric Hubbard ladder
has been investigated numerically. It was found that this model does not scale
to the Luttinger liquid fixed point. Even for generic filling gaps open up in
the spectrum of the spin or charge modes, and the system is always insulator in
the presence of umklapp processes

Neues stomatologisches verfahren : Myologische bestimmung der funktion der kaumuskulatur bzw. des M. masseters mit dem Szirmaischen myotonometer
Die Autoren haben festgestellt, daβ man mit Hilfe des Myotonometers auf Grund von Kau- bzw. Masseterfunktionsmessung auf verschiedene stomatologische Krankheiten, bzw. auf verschiedene Veranderungen schliessen
kann. Man kann feststellen, ob die Muskeln atrophisch sind oder nicht, was fur eine Prothese bei einzelnen Individuen der Funktion der Muskeln entspricht, ob eine Prothese schlecht ist, welche Verfahren fur die Orthodontie bzw. Prognathie notwendig sind und welche Medikamente eine gute stomatologische Wirkung haben. Auch die verschiedenen orthopadischen Fragen sind erleichtert.</p
