Single-hole dynamics in the half-filled two-dimensional Kondo-Hubbard model
We consider the Kondo lattice model in two dimensions at half filling. In
addition to the fermionic hopping integral and the superexchange coupling
the role of a Coulomb repulsion in the conduction band is investigated.
We find the model to display a magnetic order-disorder transition in the U-J
plane with a critical value of J_c which is decreasing as a function of U. The
single particle spectral function A(k,w) is computed across this transition.
For all values of J > 0, and apart from shadow features present in the ordered
state, A(k,w) remains insensitive to the magnetic phase transition with the
first low-energy hole states residing at momenta k = (\pm \pi, \pm \pi). As J
-> 0 the model maps onto the Hubbard Hamiltonian. Only in this limit, the
low-energy spectral weight at k = (\pm \pi, \pm \pi) vanishes with first
electron removal-states emerging at wave vectors on the magnetic Brillouin zone
boundary. Thus, we conclude that (i) the local screening of impurity spins
determines the low energy behavior of the spectral function and (ii) one cannot
deform continuously the spectral function of the Mott-Hubbard insulator at J=0
to that of the Kondo insulator at J > J_c. Our results are based on both, T=0

Hole-Doping Effects on a Two-dimensional Kondo Insulator
We study the effects of hole doping on the two-dimensional Heisenberg-Kondo
model around the quantum critical point, where the spin liquid phase (Kondo
insulator) and the magnetically ordered phase are separated via a second-order
phase transition. By means of the self-consistent Born approximation within the
bond operator formalism as well as the standard spin wave theory, we discuss
dynamical properties of a doped hole. It is clarified that a quasi-particle
state stabilized in the spin liquid phase is gradually obscured as the system
approaches the quantum critical point. This is also the case for the
magnetically ordered phase. We argue the similarity and the difference between
these two cases.Comment: 8 pages, 14 figure
Thermodynamics of the half-filled Kondo lattice model around the atomic limit
We present a perturbation theory for studying thermodynamic properties of the
Kondo spin liquid phase of the half-filled Kondo lattice model. The grand
partition function is derived to calculate chemical potential, spin and charge
susceptibilities and specific heat. The treatment is applicable to the model
with strong couplings in any dimensions (one, two and three dimensions). The
chemical potential equals zero at any temperatures, satisfying the requirement
of the particle-hole symmetry. Thermally activated behaviors of the
spin(charge) susceptibility due to the spin(quasiparticle) gap can be seen and
the two-peak structure of the specific heat is obtained. The same treatment to
the periodic Anderson model around atomic limit is also briefly discussed.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev.
Strong-Coupling Expansions for Multiparticle Excitations: Continuum and Bound States
We present a new linked cluster expansion for calculating properties of
multiparticle excitation spectra to high orders. We use it to obtain the
two-particle spectra for systems of coupled spin-half dimers. We find that even
for weakly coupled dimers the spectrum is very rich, consisting of many bound
states. The number of bound states depends on both geometry of coupling and
frustration. Many of the bound states can only be seen by going to sufficiently
high orders in the perturbation theory, showing the extended character of the
pair-attraction.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Dynamical structure factors of the magnetization-plateau state in the bond-alternating spin chain with a next-nearest-neighbor interaction
We calculate the dynamical structure factors of the magnetization-plateau
state in the bond-alternating spin chain with a next-nearest-neighbor
interaction. The results show characteristic behaviors depending on the
next-nearest-neighbor interaction and the bond-alternation .
We discuss the lower excited states in comparison with the exact excitation
spectrums of an effective Hamiltonian. From the finite size effects,
characteristics of the lowest excited states are investigated. The
dispersionless mode of the lowest excitation appears in adequate sets of
and , indicating that the lowest excitation is localized
spatially and forms an isolated mode below the excitation continuum. We further
calculate the static structure factors. The largest intensity is located at
for small in fixed . With increasing , the
wavenumber of the largest intensity shifts towards , taking the
incommensurate value.Comment: to appear in Phys. Rev. B (2001
Single-hole dynamics in dimerized and frustrated spin-chains
We present a unified account for the coupled single-hole- and spin-dynamics
in the spin-gap phase of dimerized and frustrated spin-chains and two-leg spin
ladders. Based on the strong dimer-limit of a one-dimensional
--model a diagrammatic approach is presented which employs a
mapping of the spin-Hamiltonian onto a pseudo-fermion bond-boson model. Results
for the single-hole spectrum are detailed. A finite quasi-particle weight is
observed and studied for a variety of system parameters. A comparison with
existing exact diagonalization data is performed and good agreement is found.Comment: 10 pages, 12 figure
Particle Content of the Nonlinear Sigma Model with Theta-Term: a Lattice Model Investigation
Using new as well as known results on dimerized quantum spin chains with
frustration, we are able to infer some properties on the low-energy spectrum of
the O(3) Nonlinear Sigma Model with a topological theta-term. In particular,
for sufficiently strong coupling, we find a range of values of theta where a
singlet bound state is stable under the triplet continuum. On the basis of
these results, we propose a new renormalization group flow diagram for the
Nonlinear Sigma Model with theta-term.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures .eps, iopart format, submitted to JSTA
Discovering Spatio-Temporal Patterns in Precision Agriculture Based on Triclustering
Agriculture has undergone some very important changes over
the last few decades. The emergence and evolution of precision agri culture has allowed to move from the uniform site management to the
site-specific management, with both economic and environmental advan tages. However, to be implemented effectively, site-specific management
requires within-field spatial variability to be well-known and character ized. In this paper, an algorithm that delineates within-field management
zones in a maize plantation is introduced. The algorithm, based on tri clustering, mines clusters from temporal remote sensing data. Data from
maize crops in Alentejo, Portugal, have been used to assess the suit ability of applying triclustering to discover patterns over time, that may
eventually help farmers to improve their harvests.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad TIN2017-88209-C2Fundaçao para a Ciéncia e a Tecnologia (FCT) UIDB/04561/202
Observation of two-magnon bound states in the two-leg ladders of (Ca,La)14Cu24O41
Phonon-assisted 2-magnon absorption is studied at T=4 K in the spin-1/2
two-leg ladders of Ca_14-x La_x Cu_24 O_41 (x=5 and 4) for polarization of the
electrical field parallel to the legs and the rungs, respectively. Two peaks at
about 2140 and 2800 1/cm reflect van-Hove singularities in the density of
states of the strongly dispersing 2-magnon singlet bound state, and a broad
peak at about 4000 1/cm is identified with the 2-magnon continuum. Two
different theoretical approaches (Jordan-Wigner fermions and perturbation
theory) describe the data very well for J_parallel = 1050 - 1100 1/cm and
J_parallel / J_perp = 1 - 1.1. A striking similarity of the high-energy
continuum absorption of the ladders and of the undoped high T_c cuprates is
observed.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, Revte
Hole Dynamics in the Orthogonal-Dimer Spin System
The dynamics of a doped hole in the orthogonal-dimer spin system is
investigated systematically in one, two and three dimensions. By combining the
bond-operator method with the self-consistent
Born approximation, we argue that a dispersive quasi-particle state in the
dimer phase is well defined even for quasi-two-dimensional systems. On the
other hand, a doped hole in the plaquette-singlet phase hardly itinerates,
forming an almost localized mode. We further clarify that although the
quasi-particle weight in the dimer phase is decreased in the presence of the
interchain coupling, it is not suppressed but even enhanced upon the
introduction of the interlayer coupling.Comment: 8 pages, 10 figure
