Effect of Dynamical Coulomb Correlations on the Fermi Surface of Na_0.3CoO_2
The t2g quasi-particle spectra of Na_0.3CoO_2 are calculated within the
dynamical mean field theory. It is shown that as a result of dynamical Coulomb
correlations charge is transfered from the nearly filled e_g' subbands to the
a_1g band, thereby reducing orbital polarization among Co t2g states. Dynamical
correlations therefore stabilize the small e_g' Fermi surface pockets, in
contrast to angle-resolved photoemission data, which do not reveal these
pockets.Comment: 4 pages, to appear in PR
Twist-angle dependence of electron correlations in moir\'e graphene bilayers
Motivated by the recent observation of correlated insulator states and
unconventional superconductivity in twisted bilayer graphene, we study the
dependence of electron correlations on the twist angle and reveal the existence
of strong correlations over a narrow range of twist-angles near the magic
angle. Specifically, we determine the on-site and extended Hubbard parameters
of the low-energy Wannier states using an atomistic quantum-mechanical
approach. The ratio of the on-site Hubbard parameter and the width of the flat
bands, which is an indicator of the strength of electron correlations, depends
sensitively on the screening by the semiconducting substrate and the metallic
gates. Including the effect of long-ranged Coulomb interactions significantly
reduces electron correlations and explains the experimentally observed
sensitivity of strong correlation phenomena on twist angle.Comment: 17 pages, 6 figure
Bose-Hubbard model on two-dimensional line graphs
We construct a basis for the many-particle ground states of the positive
hopping Bose-Hubbard model on line graphs of finite 2-connected planar
bipartite graphs at sufficiently low filling factors. The particles in these
states are localized on non-intersecting vertex-disjoint cycles of the line
graph which correspond to non-intersecting edge-disjoint cycles of the original
graph. The construction works up to a critical filling factor at which the
cycles are close-packed.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figures, figures and conclusions update
Processes, Roles and Their Interactions
Taking an interaction network oriented perspective in informatics raises the
challenge to describe deterministic finite systems which take part in networks
of nondeterministic interactions. The traditional approach to describe
processes as stepwise executable activities which are not based on the
ordinarily nondeterministic interaction shows strong centralization tendencies.
As suggested in this article, viewing processes and their interactions as
complementary can circumvent these centralization tendencies.
The description of both, processes and their interactions is based on the
same building blocks, namely finite input output automata (or transducers).
Processes are viewed as finite systems that take part in multiple, ordinarily
nondeterministic interactions. The interactions between processes are described
as protocols.
The effects of communication between processes as well as the necessary
coordination of different interactions within a processes are both based on the
restriction of the transition relation of product automata. The channel based
outer coupling represents the causal relation between the output and the input
of different systems. The coordination condition based inner coupling
represents the causal relation between the input and output of a single system.
All steps are illustrated with the example of a network of resource
administration processes which is supposed to provide requesting user processes
exclusive access to a single resource.Comment: In Proceedings IWIGP 2012, arXiv:1202.422
Sublattice synchronization of chaotic networks with delayed couplings
Synchronization of chaotic units coupled by their time delayed variables are
investigated analytically. A new type of cooperative behavior is found:
sublattice synchronization. Although the units of one sublattice are not
directly coupled to each other, they completely synchronize without time delay.
The chaotic trajectories of different sublattices are only weakly correlated
but not related by generalized synchronization. Nevertheless, the trajectory of
one sublattice is predictable from the complete trajectory of the other one.
The spectra of Lyapunov exponents are calculated analytically in the limit of
infinite delay times, and phase diagrams are derived for different topologies
Mixed Heisenberg Chains. II. Thermodynamics
We consider thermodynamic properties, e.g. specific heat, magnetic
susceptibility, of alternating Heisenberg spin chains. Due to a hidden Ising
symmetry these chains can be decomposed into a set of finite chain fragments.
The problem of finding the thermodynamic quantities is effectively separated
into two parts. First we deal with finite objects, secondly we can incorporate
the fragments into a statistical ensemble. As functions of the coupling
constants, the models exhibit special features in the thermodynamic quantities,
e.g. the specific heat displays double peaks at low enough temperatures. These
features stem from first order quantum phase transitions at zero temperature,
which have been investigated in the first part of this work.Comment: 12 pages, RevTeX, 12 embedded eps figures, cf. cond-mat/9703206,

A new behavioural model for performance evaluation of common mode chokes
A galvanically isolated three-phase AC/AC converter with a high-frequency AC-link has been analyzed from an EMC point of view. This is a special configuration because of a large number of switches, a high frequency transformer, and a fourwire output. The essential coupling paths are identified.
Corresponding suppression remedies are given. The results, before and after measures, have been presented to demonstrate the improvement in EMC.
Keywords: AC/AC converter; electromagnetic interference; galvanically isolate

Ito channels are octomeric complexes with four subunits of each Kv4.2 and K+ channel-interacting protein 2.
Mammalian voltage-gated K+ channels are assemblies of pore-forming alpha-subunits and modulating beta-subunits. To operate correctly, Kv4 alpha-subunits in the heart and central nervous system require recently identified beta-subunits of the neuronal calcium sensing protein family called K+ channel-interacting proteins (KChIPs). Here, Kv4.2.KChIP2 channels are purified, integrity of isolated complexes confirmed, molar ratio of the subunits determined, and subunit valence established. A complex has 4 subunits of each type, a stoichiometry expected for other channels employing neuronal calcium sensing beta-subunits
The square-kagome quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet at high magnetic fields: The localized-magnon paradigm and beyond
We consider the spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the
two-dimensional square-kagome lattice with almost dispersionless lowest magnon
band. For a general exchange coupling geometry we elaborate low-energy
effective Hamiltonians which emerge at high magnetic fields. The effective
model to describe the low-energy degrees of freedom of the initial frustrated
quantum spin model is the (unfrustrated) square-lattice spin-1/2 model in
a -aligned magnetic field. For the effective model we perform quantum Monte
Carlo simulations to discuss the low-temperature properties of the
square-kagome quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet at high magnetic fields. We
pay special attention to a magnetic-field driven
Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition which occurs at low
temperatures.Comment: 6 figure
