Nomenclature for the C60-Ih and C70-D5h(6) fullerenes (IUPAC Recommendations 2002)
Fullerenes are a new allotrope of carbon characterized by a closed-cage structure consisting of an even number of three-coordinate carbon atoms devoid of hydrogen atoms. This class was originally limited to closed-cage structures with 12 isolated five-membered rings, the rest being six-membered rings. Although it was recognized that existing organic ring nomenclature could be used for these structures, the resulting names would be extremely unwieldy and inconvenient for use. At the same time it was also recognized that established organic nomenclature principles could be used, or adapted, to provide a consistent nomenclature for this unique class of compounds based on the class name fullerene. However, it was necessary to develop an entirely new method for uniquely numbering closed-cage systems. This paper describes IUPAC recommendations for naming and uniquely numbering the two most common fullerenes with isolated pentagons, the icosahedral C60 fullerene and a D5h-C70 fullerene. It also describes recommendations for adapting organic nomenclature principles for naming fullerenes with nonclosed-cage structures, heterofullerenes, derivatives formed by substitution of hydrofullerenes, and the fusion of organic rings or ring systems to the fullerene cage. Finally, this paper suggests methods for describing structures consisting of two or more fullerene units and for denoting configurations of chiral fullerenes and their derivative
S and D Wave Mixing in High Superconductors
For a tight binding model with nearest neighbour attraction and a small
orthorhombic distortion, we find a phase diagram for the gap at zero
temperature which includes three distinct regions as a function of filling. In
the first, the gap is a mixture of mainly -wave with a smaller extended
-wave part. This is followed by a region in which there is a rapid increase
in the -wave part accompanied by a rapid increase in relative phase between
and from 0 to . Finally, there is a region of dominant with a
mixture of and zero phase. In the mixed region with a finite phase, the
-wave part of the gap can show a sudden increase with decreasing temperature
accompanied with a rapid increase in phase which shows many of the
characteristics measured in the angular resolved photoemission experiments of

Spectral function of the 1D Hubbard model in the limit
We show that the one-particle spectral functions of the one-dimensional
Hubbard model diverge at the Fermi energy like
in the limit. The Luttinger liquid behaviour

finite), which shrinks to a single point, ,in that limit.
The consequences for the observation of the Luttinger liquid behaviour in
photoemission and inverse photoemission experiments are discussed.Comment: 4 pages, RevTeX, 2 figures on reques
Optimization of overlap uniformness for ptychography
We demonstrate the advantages of imaging with ptychography scans that follow a Fermat spiral trajectory. This scan pattern provides a more uniform coverage and a higher overlap ratio with the same number of scan points over the same area than the presently used mesh and concentric [13] patterns. Under realistically imperfect measurement conditions, numerical simulations show that the quality of the reconstructed image is improved significantly with a Fermat spiral compared with a concentric scan pattern. The result is confirmed by the performance enhancement with experimental data, especially under low-overlap conditions. These results suggest that the Fermat spiral pattern increases the quality of the reconstructed image and tolerance to data with imperfections
Interpretation of Photoemission Spectra of (TaSe4)2I as Evidence of Charge Density Wave Fluctuations
The competition between different and unusual effects in
quasi-one-dimensional conductors makes the direct interpretation of
experimental measurements of these materials both difficult and interesting. We
consider evidence for the existence of large charge-density-wave fluctuations
in the conducting phase of the Peierls insulator (TaSe4)2I, by comparing the
predictions of a simple Lee, Rice and Anderson theory for such a system with
recent angle-resolved photoemission spectra. The agreement obtained suggests
that many of the unusual features of these spectra may be explained in this
way. This view of the system is contrasted with the behaviour expected of a
Luttinger liquid.Comment: Archive copy of published paper. 19 pages, 12 figures, uses IOP

Microscopic theory of the pseudogap and Peierls transition in quasi-one-dimensional materials
The problem of deriving from microscopic theory a Ginzburg-Landau free energy
functional to describe the Peierls or charge-density-wave transition in
quasi-one-dimensional materials is considered. Particular attention is given to
how the thermal lattice motion affects the electronic states. Near the
transition temperature the thermal lattice motion produces a pseudogap in the
density of states at the Fermi level. Perturbation theory diverges and the
traditional quasi-particle or Fermi liquid picture breaks down. The pseudogap
causes a significant modification of the coefficients in the Ginzburg-Landau
functional from their values in the rigid lattice approximation, which neglects
the effect of the thermal lattice motion. To appear in Physical Review B.Comment: 21 pages, RevTeX, 5 figures in uuencoded compressed tar fil
Critical Properties of Spectral Functions for the 1D Anisotropic t-J Models with an Energy Gap
We exactly calculate the momentum-dependent critical exponents for spectral
functions in the one-dimensional anisotropic t-J models with a gap either in
the spin or charge excitation spectrum. Our approach is based on the Bethe
ansatz technique combined with finite-size scaling techniques in conformal
field theory. It is found that the spectral functions show a power-law
singularity, which occurs at frequencies determined by the dispersion of a
massive spin (or charge) excitation.We discuss how the nontrivial contribution
of a massive excitation controls the singular behavior in optical response
functions.Comment: 4 pages, REVTeX, 2 figures(available upon request), accepted for

Critical Properties in Photoemmision Spectra for One Dimensional Orbitally Degenerate Mott Insulator
Critical properties in photoemission spectra for the one-dimensional Mott
insulator with orbital degeneracy are studied by exploiting the integrable {\it
t-J} model, which is a supersymmetric generalization of the SU() degenerate
spin model. We discuss the critical properties for the holon dispersion as well
as the spinon dispersions, by applying the conformal field theory analysis to
the exact finite-size energy spectrum. We study the effect of orbital-splitting
on the spectra by evaluating the momentum-dependent critical exponents.Comment: 8 pages, REVTeX, 2 figures(available upon request), accepted for

Spectral functions of the 1D Hubbard model in the U -> \infty limit: How to use the factorized wave-function
We give the details of the calculation of the spectral functions of the 1D
Hubbard model using the spin-charge factorized wave-function for several
versions of the U -> +\infty limit. The spectral functions are expressed as a
convolution of charge and spin dynamical correlation functions. A procedure to
evaluate these correlation functions very accurately for large systems is
developed, and analytical results are presented for the low energy region.
These results are fully consistent with the conformal field theory. We also
propose a direct method of extracting the exponents from the matrix elements in
more general cases.Comment: 15 pages,7 eps figures, RevTeX, needs epsf and multico
Surface characterization and surface electronic structure of organic quasi-one-dimensional charge transfer salts
We have thoroughly characterized the surfaces of the organic charge-transfer
salts TTF-TCNQ and (TMTSF)2PF6 which are generally acknowledged as prototypical
examples of one-dimensional conductors. In particular x-ray induced
photoemission spectroscopy turns out to be a valuable non-destructive
diagnostic tool. We show that the observation of generic one-dimensional
signatures in photoemission spectra of the valence band close to the Fermi
level can be strongly affected by surface effects. Especially, great care must
be exercised taking evidence for an unusual one-dimensional many-body state
exclusively from the observation of a pseudogap.Comment: 11 pages, 12 figures, v2: minor changes in text and figure labellin
