Failure of mean-field approach in out-of-equilibrium Anderson model
To explore the limitations of the mean field approximation, frequently used
in \textit{ab initio} molecular electronics calculations, we study an
out-of-equilibrium Anderson impurity model in a scattering formalism. We find
regions in the parameter space where both magnetic and non-magnetic solutions
are stable. We also observe a hysteresis in the non-equilibrium magnetization
and current as a function of the applied bias voltage. The mean field method
also predicts incorrectly local moment formation for large biases and a spin
polarized current, and unphysical kinks appear in various physical quantities.
The mean field approximation thus fails in every region where it predicts local
moment formation.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure

Simplified solutions of the Cox-Thompson inverse scattering method at fixed energy
Simplified solutions of the Cox-Thompson inverse quantum scattering method at
fixed energy are derived if a finite number of partial waves with only even or
odd angular momenta contribute to the scattering process. Based on new formulae
various approximate methods are introduced which also prove applicable to the
generic scattering events.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure
Optically switched magnetism in photovoltaic perovskite CHNH(Mn:Pb)I
The demand for ever-increasing density of information storage and speed of
manipulation boosts an intense search for new magnetic materials and novel ways
of controlling the magnetic bit. Here, we report the synthesis of a
ferromagnetic photovoltaic CHNH(Mn:Pb)I material in which the
photo-excited electrons rapidly melt the local magnetic order through the
Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida interactions without heating up the spin system.
Our finding offers an alternative, very simple and efficient way of optical
spin control, and opens an avenue for applications in low power, light
controlling magnetic devices
JIG AND FIXTURE CAD/CAM SYSTEM
Development of CAD/CAM systems for workpiece jig and fixture has to rely on a generalpurpose
CAD system, such as an AutoCAD system comprising the needed standard interfaces.
So it is relatively easy to change types of the underlying CAD system and the computer. The design
process is helped by a 3D functional model. This so-called Jig & Fix CAD system is an open system
constructed of a modular (unified) set of 3D elements, permitting to change the set of elements,
the database and the manipulation set. This CAD system may be of help in factories in the design
and manufacture of NC, CNC machine tools and production cells, as well as in concluding contracts,
and in tender transactions
Pipe network model for scaling of dynamic interfaces in porous media
We present a numerical study on the dynamics of imbibition fronts in porous
media using a pipe network model. This model quantitatively reproduces the
anomalous scaling behavior found in imbibition experiments [Phys. Rev. E {\bf
52}, 5166 (1995)]. Using simple scaling arguments, we derive a new identity
among the scaling exponents in agreement with the experimental results.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figures, REVTeX, to appear in Phys. Rev. Let
The cultural and geopolitical dimensions of nation-building in the Ukraine
Ukraine belongs among those young countries where the beginnings of democratisation and nation-building approximately coincided. While the development of nation states in Central Europe was usually preceded by the development of nations, the biggest dilemma in the Ukraine is whether a nation-state programme — parallel to the aim of state-building — is able to bring unfinished nation-building to completion. Ukraine sways between the EU and Russia with enormous amplitude. The alternating orientation between the West and the East can be ascribed to superpower ambitions reaching beyond Ukraine. Eventually, internal and external determinants are intertwined and mutually interact with one another. The aim of the paper is to explain the dilemmas arising from identity problems behind the Ukraine’s internal and external orientation
Driven interfaces in disordered media: determination of universality classes from experimental data
While there have been important theoretical advances in understanding the
universality classes of interfaces moving in porous media, the developed tools
cannot be directly applied to experiments. Here we introduce a method that can
identify the universality class from snapshots of the interface profile. We
test the method on discrete models whose universality class is well known, and
use it to identify the universality class of interfaces obtained in experiments
on fluid flow in porous media.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
