Tight binding model for iron pnictides

We propose a five-band tight-binding model for the Fe-As layers of iron pnictides with the hopping amplitudes calculated within the Slater-Koster framework. The band structure found in DFT, including the orbital content of the bands, is well reproduced using only four fitting parameters to determine all the hopping amplitudes. The model allows to study the changes in the electronic structure caused by a modification of the angle $\alpha$ formed by the Fe-As bonds and the Fe-plane and recovers the phenomenology previously discussed in the literature. We also find that changes in $\alpha$ modify the shape and orbital content of the Fermi surface sheets.Comment: 12 pages, 6 eps figures. Figs 1 and 2 modified, minor changes in the text.

An Investigation of the Adsorption Characteristics of 5'ATP and 5'AMP onto the Surface of Caso4 x 2H2O

A model has been proposed in which solid surfaces can act as a site for cataletic activity of condensation reactions for certain biomolecules. From this model, the adsorption characteristics of 5'ATP and 5'AMP onto the surface of CaSO4.2H2O was chosen for study. It has been proven that 5'ATP and 5'AMP do adsorb onto the surface of CaSO4. Studies were then made to determine the dependence of absorption versus time, concentration, ionic strength and pH. It was found that the adsorption of the nucleotides is highly pH dependent, primarily determined by the phosphate acid groups of the nucleic acid molecule. From this investigation, the data obtained is discussed in relation to the model for the prebiotic earth

An investigation of the adsorption characteristics of 5 prime ATP and 5 prime AMP onto the surface of CaSO sub 4 x 2H sub 2 O

A model has been proposed (Lahev and Chans, 1982) in which solid surfaces can act as a site for catalytic activity of condensation reactions for certain biomolecules. From this model, the adsorption characteristics of 5'ATP and 5'AMP onto the surface of CaSO4 2H2O was chosen for study. It has been proven that 5'ATP and 5'AMP do adsorb onto the surface of CaSO4. Studies were then made to determine the dependence of adsorption versus time, concentration, ionic strength and pH. It was found that the adsorption of the nucleotides is highly pH dependent, primarily determined by the phosphate acid groups of the nucleic acid molecule.

On the logarithmic comparison theorem for integrable logarithmic connections

Let $X$ be a complex analytic manifold, $D\subset X$ a free divisor with jacobian ideal of linear type (e.g. a locally quasi-homogeneous free divisor), $j: U=X-D \to X$ the corresponding open inclusion, $E$ an integrable logarithmic connection with respect to $D$ and $L$ the local system of the horizontal sections of $E$ on $U$. In this paper we prove that the canonical morphisms between the logarithmic de Rham complex of $E(kD)$ and $R j_* L$ (resp. the logarithmic de Rham complex of $E(-kD)$ and $j_!L$) are isomorphisms in the derived category of sheaves of complex vector spaces for $k\gg 0$ (locally on $X$)Comment: Terminology has changed: "linear jacobian type" instead of "commutative differential type"); no Koszul hypothesis is needed in theorem (2.1.1); minor changes.
