    Macroscopic quantum coherence in antiferromagnetic molecular magnets

    Full text link
    The macroscopic quantum coherence in a biaxial antiferromagnetic molecular magnet in the presence of magnetic field acting parallel to its hard anisotropy axis is studied within the two-sublattice model. On the basis of instanton technique in the spin-coherent-state path-integral representation, both the rigorous Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin exponent and preexponential factor for the ground-state tunnel splitting are obtained. We find that the quantum fluctuations around the classical paths can not only induce a new quantum phase previously reported by Chiolero and Loss (Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 169 (1998)), but also have great influnence on the intensity of the ground-state tunnel splitting. Those features clearly have no analogue in the ferromagnetic molecular magnets. We suggest that they may be the universal behaviors in all antiferromagnetic molecular magnets. The analytical results are complemented by exact diagonalization calculation.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figur

    In the crystal structure of the title compound, C17H18N2O4S3, mol­ecules are connected into centrosymmetric dimers via weak inter­molecular C—H⋯π inter­actions. These dimers are further connected through a series of weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, while futher C—H⋯π inter­actions involving the phenyl and thia­zoline rings are also observed. The thia­zolidine ring is twisted from the benzene rings rings by dihedral angles of 79.1 (1) and 85.0 (1)°, while the dihedral angle between two benzene rings is 76.0 (1)°

    In this paper, the experimental (simulated) transverse momentum spectra of negatively charged pions produced at mid-rapidity in central nucleus-nucleus collisions at the Heavy Ion Synchrotron (SIS), Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), and Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies obtained by different collaborations are selected by us to investigate, where a few simulated data are taken from the results of FOPI Collaboration who uses the IQMD transport code based on Quantum Molecular Dynamics. A two-component standard distribution and the Tsallis form of standard distribution are used to fit these data in the framework of a multisource thermal model. The excitation functions of main parameters in the two distributions are analyzed. In particular, the effective temperatures extracted from the two-component standard distribution and the Tsallis form of standard distribution are obtained, and the relation between the two types of effective temperatures is studied.Comment: 22 pages, 8 figures.

    In the crystal structure of the title compound, C14H16N4O2 2+·2Cl−·CH3CN, weak inter­molecular N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds are found between the H atoms bound to the pyridine and amine N atoms and the chloride anions. The asymmetric unit consits of one half cationic mol­ecule which is located on a centre of inversion, one chloride anion in a general position and one half acetonitrile mol­ecule which is located on a twofold axis. Because of symmetry, the C—H hydrogens of the acetonitrile solvent mol­ecule are disordered over two orientations

    The mol­ecule of the title compound, C7H8N2O, is essentially planar with a maximum deviation of 0.0439 (1) Å from the best plane. In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between self-complementary amide groups join mol­ecules into centrosymmetric dimers

    Scaling behaviour and memory in heart rate of healthy human

    Get PDF
    We investigate a set of complex heart rate time series from healthy human in different behaviour states with the detrended fluctuation analysis and diffusion entropy (DE) method. It is proposed that the scaling properties are influenced by behaviour states. The memory detected by DE exhibits an approximately same pattern after a detrending procedure. Both of them demonstrate the long-range strong correlations in heart rate. These findings may be helpful to understand the underlying dynamical evolution process in the heart rate control system, as well as to model the cardiac dynamic process
