The quantum dynamics of atomic magnets, co-tunneling and dipolar-biased tunneling
Multi-spins tunneling cross-relaxations in an ensemble of weakly-coupled
Ho ions, mediated by weak anisotropic dipolar interactions, can be
evidenced by ac-susceptibility measurements in a high temperature regime. Based
on a four-body representation, including the rare-earth nuclear spin, two-ions
tunneling mechanisms can be attributed to both dipolar-biased tunneling and
co-tunneling processes. The co-reversal involving entangled pairs of magnetic
moments is discussed with a particular emphasis, giving new evidences to
elucidate the many-body quantum dynamics.Comment: 4 figure
Multifractal dimensions for all moments for certain critical random matrix ensembles in the strong multifractality regime
We construct perturbation series for the q-th moment of eigenfunctions of
various critical random matrix ensembles in the strong multifractality regime
close to localization. Contrary to previous investigations, our results are
valid in the region q<1/2. Our findings allow to verify, at first leading
orders in the strong multifractality limit, the symmetry relation for anomalous
fractal dimensions Delta(q)=Delta(1-q), recently conjectured for critical
models where an analogue of the metal-insulator transition takes place. It is
known that this relation is verified at leading order in the weak
multifractality regime. Our results thus indicate that this symmetry holds in
both limits of small and large coupling constant. For general values of the
coupling constant we present careful numerical verifications of this symmetry
relation for different critical random matrix ensembles. We also present an
example of a system closely related to one of these critical ensembles, but
where the symmetry relation, at least numerically, is not fulfilled.Comment: 12 pages, 12 figure
Existence of a Density Functional for an Intrinsic State
A generalization of the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem proves the existence of a
density functional for an intrinsic state, symmetry violating, out of which a
physical state with good quantum numbers can be projected.Comment: 6 page
Random matrix ensembles associated with Lax matrices
A method to generate new classes of random matrix ensembles is proposed.
Random matrices from these ensembles are Lax matrices of classically integrable
systems with a certain distribution of momenta and coordinates. The existence
of an integrable structure permits to calculate the joint distribution of
eigenvalues for these matrices analytically. Spectral statistics of these
ensembles are quite unusual and in many cases give rigorously new examples of
intermediate statistics
Perturbation approach to multifractal dimensions for certain critical random matrix ensembles
Fractal dimensions of eigenfunctions for various critical random matrix
ensembles are investigated in perturbation series in the regimes of strong and
weak multifractality. In both regimes we obtain expressions similar to those of
the critical banded random matrix ensemble extensively discussed in the
literature. For certain ensembles, the leading-order term for weak
multifractality can be calculated within standard perturbation theory. For
other models such a direct approach requires modifications which are briefly
discussed. Our analytical formulas are in good agreement with numerical
calculations.Comment: 28 pages, 7 figure
Open problems in nuclear density functional theory
This note describes five subjects of some interest for the density functional
theory in nuclear physics. These are, respectively, i) the need for concave
functionals, ii) the nature of the Kohn-Sham potential for the radial density
theory, iii) a proper implementation of a density functional for an "intrinsic"
rotational density, iv) the possible existence of a potential driving the
square root of the density, and v) the existence of many models where a density
functional can be explicitly constructed.Comment: 10 page
Existence of Density Functionals for Excited States and Resonances
We show how every bound state of a finite system of identical fermions,
whether a ground state or an excited one, defines a density functional.
Degeneracies created by a symmetry group can be trivially lifted by a
pseudo-Zeeman effect. When complex scaling can be used to regularize a
resonance into a square integrable state, a DF also exists.Comment: 4 pages, no figure
TEMPORAL PAYMENT ISSUES IN CONTINGENT VALUATION ANALYSIS
We analyze agent response to disparate payment schedules for protection of critical habitat units for the Seller sea lion in Alaska. The model allows for identification of implicit and explicit discount rates using information from a system of maximum likelihood equations. Testing is done using data for one, five, and fifteen year payment treatments.Research Methods/ Statistical Methods,
Phonon-assisted tunneling in the quantum regime of Mn12-ac
Longitudinal or transverse magnetic fields applied on a crystal of Mn12-ac
allows to observe independent tunnel transitions between m=-S+p and m=S-n-p
(n=6-10, p=0-2 in longitudinal field and n=p=0 in transverse field). We observe
a smooth transition (in longitudinal) from coherent ground-state to thermally
activated tunneling. Furthermore two ground-state relaxation regimes showing a
crossover between quantum spin relaxation far from equilibrium and near
equilibrium, when the environment destroys multimolecule correlations. Finally,
we stress that the complete Hamiltonian of Mn12 should contain odd spin
operators of low order
