Low distortion automatic phase control circuit
A voltage controlled phase shifter is rendered substantially harmonic distortion free over a large dynamic input range by employing two oppositely poled, equally biased varactor diodes as the voltage controlled elements which adjust the phase shift. Control voltages which affect the bias of both diodes equally are used to adjust the phase shift without increasing distortion. A feedback stabilized phase shifter is rendered substantially frequency independent by employing a phase detector to control the phase shift of the voltage controlled phase shifter

Theory of Tunneling Spectroscopy in a Mn Single-Electron Transistor by Density-Functional Theory Methods
We consider tunneling transport through a Mn molecular magnet using
spin density functional theory. A tractable methodology for constructing
many-body wavefunctions from Kohn-Sham orbitals allows for the determination of
spin-dependent matrix elements for use in transport calculations. The tunneling
conductance at finite bias is characterized by peaks representing transitions
between spin multiplets, separated by an energy on the order of the magnetic
anisotropy. The energy splitting of the spin multiplets and the spatial part of
their many-body wave functions, describing the orbital degrees of freedom of
the excess charge, strongly affect the electronic transport, and can lead to
negative differential conductance.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, a revised version with minor change
Density-functional-based predictions of Raman and IR spectra for small Si clusters
We have used a density-functional-based approach to study the response of silicon clusters to applied electric fields. For the dynamical response, we have calculated the Raman activities and infrared (IR) intensities for all of the vibrational modes of several clusters (SiN with N=3-8, 10, 13, 20, and 21) using the local density approximation (LDA). For the smaller clusters (N=3-8) our results are in good agreement with previous quantum-chemical calculations and experimental measurements, establishing that LDA-based IR and Raman data can be used in conjunction with measured spectra to determine the structure of clusters observed in experiment. To illustrate the potential of the method for larger clusters, we present calculated IR and Raman data for two low-energy isomers of Si10 and for the lowest-energy structure of Si13 found to date. For the static response, we compare our calculated polarizabilities for N=10, 13, 20, and 21 to recent experimental measurements. The calculated results are in rough agreement with experiment, but show less variation with cluster size than the measurements. Taken together, our results show that LDA calculations can offer a powerful means for establishing the structures of experimentally fabricated clusters and nanoscale systems

Theory for transport through a single magnetic molecule: Endohedral N@C60
We consider transport through a single N@C60 molecule, weakly coupled to
metallic leads. Employing a density-matrix formalism we derive rate equations
for the occupation probabilities of many-particle states of the molecule. We
calculate the current-voltage characteristics and the differential conductance
for N@C60 in a break junction. Our results reveal Coulomb-blockade behavior as
well as a fine structure of the Coulomb-blockade peaks due to the exchange
coupling of the C60 spin to the spin of the encapsulated nitrogen atom.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, v2: version as publishe
