Ground-state properties of the one-dimensional electron liquid
We present calculations of the energy, pair-correlation function (PCF), static structure factor (SSF), and momentum density (MD) for the one-dimensional electron gas using the quantum Monte Carlo method. We are able to resolve peaks in the SSF at even-integer multiples of the Fermi wave vector, which grow as the coupling is increased. Our MD results show an increase in the effective Fermi wave vector as the interaction strength is raised in the paramagnetic harmonic wire; this appears to be a result of the vanishing difference between the wave functions of the paramagnetic and ferromagnetic systems. We have extracted the Luttinger liquid exponent from our MDs by fitting to data around kF, finding good agreement between the exponent of the ferromagnetic infinitely thin wire and the ferromagnetic harmonic wire
Electrostatic- and Parallel Magnetic Field- Tuned Two Dimensional Superconductor-Insulator Transitions
The 2D superconductor-insulator transition in disordered ultrathin amorphous
bismuth films has been tuned both by electrostatic electron doping using the
electric field effect and by the application of parallel magnetic fields.
Electrostatic doping was carried out in both zero and nonzero magnetic fields,
and magnetic tuning was conducted at multiple strengths of electrostatically
induced superconductivity. The transitions were analyzed using finite size
scaling with critical exponent products nu*z = 0.65-0.7. The parallel critical
magnetic field increased with electron transfer as (dn_c-dn)^0.33, where dn is
the electron transfer and dn_c is its critical value, and the critical
resistance decreased linearly with dn. However at lower temperatures, in the
insulating regime, the resistance became larger than expected from
extrapolation of its temperature dependence at higher temperatures, and scaling
failed. These observations imply that although the electrostatic- and parallel
magnetic field- tuned superconductor-insulator transitions would appear to
belong to the same universality class and to be delineated by a robust phase
boundary that can be crossed either by tuning electron density or magnetic
field, in the case of the field-tuned transition at the lowest temperatures,
some different type of physical behavior turns on in the insulating regime.Comment: About 11 pages, with 14 figures. To be submitted to Phys Rev
Difference of optical conductivity between one- and two-dimensional doped nickelates
We study the optical conductivity in doped nickelates, and find the dramatic
difference of the spectrum in the gap (\alt4 eV) between one- (1D)
and two-dimensional (2D) nickelates. The difference is shown to be caused by
the dependence of hopping integral on dimensionality. The theoretical results
explain consistently the experimental data in 1D and
2D nickelates, YCaBaNiO and LaSrNiO,
respectively. The relation between the spectrum in the X-ray aborption
experiments and the optical conductivity in LaSrNiO is
discussed.Comment: RevTeX, 4 pages, 4 figure
Model-based registration for pneumothorax deformation analysis using intraoperative cone-beam CT images
[2020 42nd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society (EMBC), 20-24 July 2020, Montreal, QC, Canada]Because the lung deforms during surgery because of pneumothorax, it is important to be able to track the location of a tumor. Deformation of the whole lung can be estimated using intraoperative cone-beam CT (CBCT) images. In this study, we used deformable mesh registration methods for paired CBCT images in the inflated and deflated states, and analyzed their deformation. We proposed a deformable mesh registration framework for deformations of partial organ shapes involving large deformation and rotation. Experimental results showed that the proposed methods reduced errors in point-to-point correspondence. As a result of registration using surgical clips placed on the lung surface during imaging, it was confirmed that an average error of 3.9 mm occurred in eight cases. The result of analysis showed that both tissue rotation and contraction had large effects on displacement
Linear-response theory of spin Seebeck effect in ferromagnetic insulators
We formulate a linear response theory of the spin Seebeck effect, i.e., a
spin voltage generation from heat current flowing in a ferromagnet. Our
approach focuses on the collective magnetic excitation of spins, i.e., magnons.
We show that the linear-response formulation provides us with a qualitative as
well as quantitative understanding of the spin Seebeck effect observed in a
prototypical magnet, yttrium iron garnet.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures. Added references and revised argument on the
