Bipolar current driver for memory circuits
Circuit which logically determines the state of a flip-flop and amplifies the current from a clock pulse provides a bipolar driving current to a memory circuit, the polarity of which is determined by the state of a flip-flop. This principle may be applied to various memory driving circuits where power dissipation must be minimized
Aspects of the stochastic Burgers equation and their connection with turbulence
We present results for the 1 dimensional stochastically forced Burgers
equation when the spatial range of the forcing varies. As the range of forcing
moves from small scales to large scales, the system goes from a chaotic,
structureless state to a structured state dominated by shocks. This transition
takes place through an intermediate region where the system exhibits rich
multifractal behavior. This is mainly the region of interest to us. We only
mention in passing the hydrodynamic limit of forcing confined to large scales,
where much work has taken place since that of Polyakov.
In order to make the general framework clear, we give an introduction to
aspects of isotropic, homogeneous turbulence, a description of Kolmogorov
scaling, and, with the help of a simple model, an introduction to the language
of multifractality which is used to discuss intermittency corrections to
scaling.
We continue with a general discussion of the Burgers equation and forcing,
and some aspects of three dimensional turbulence where - because of the
mathematical analogy between equations derived from the Navier-Stokes and
Burgers equations - one can gain insight from the study of the simpler
stochastic Burgers equation. These aspects concern the connection of
dissipation rate intermittency exponents with those characterizing the
structure functions of the velocity field, and the dynamical behavior,
characterized by different time constants, of velocity structure functions. We
also show how the exponents characterizing the multifractal behavior of
velocity structure functions in the above mentioned transition region can
effectively be calculated in the case of the stochastic Burgers equation.Comment: 25 pages, 4 figure

Coherence scale of the two-dimensional Kondo Lattice model
A doped hole in the two-dimensional half-filled Kondo lattice model with
exchange J and hopping t has momentum (pi,pi) irrespective of the coupling J/t.
The quasiparticle residue of the doped hole, Z_{(\pi, \pi)}, tracks the Kondo
scale, T_K, of the corresponding single impurity model. Those results stem from
high precision quantum Monte Carlo simulations on lattices up to 12 X 12.
Accounting for small dopings away from half-filling within a rigid band
approximation, this result implies that the effective mass of the charge
carriers at the Fermi level tracks 1/T_K or equivalently that the coherence
temperature T_{coh} \propto T_K. This results is consistent with the large-N
saddle point of the SU(N) symmetric Kondo lattice model.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
On Lorentz violation in scattering at finite temperature
Small violation of Lorentz and CPT symmetries may emerge in models unifying
gravity with other forces of nature. An extension of the standard model with
all possible terms that violate Lorentz and CPT symmetries are included. Here a
CPT-even non-minimal coupling term is added to the covariant derivative. This
leads to a new interaction term that breaks the Lorentz symmetry. Our main
objective is to calculate the cross section for the
scattering in order to
investigate any violation of Lorentz and/or CPT symmetry at finite temperature.
Thermo Field Dynamics formalism is used to consider finite temperature effects.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figure, accepted for publication in PL
