First-principles study on scanning tunneling microscopy images of hydrogen-terminated Si(110) surfaces
Scanning tunneling microscopy images of hydrogen-terminated Si(110) surfaces
are studied using first-principles calculations. Our results show that the
calculated filled-state images and local density of states are consistent with
recent experimental results, and the empty-state images appear significantly
different from the filled-state ones. To elucidate the origin of this
difference, we examined in detail the local density of states, which affects
the images, and found that the bonding and antibonding states of surface
silicon atoms largely affect the difference between the filled- and empty-state
images.Comment: 4 pages, and 4 figure
Deformed Base Antisymmetrized Molecular Dynamics and its Application to ^{20}Ne
A new theoretical framework named as deformed base antisymmetrized molecular
dynamics that uses the localized triaxially deformed Gaussian as the single
particle wave packet is presented. The model space enables us to describe
sufficiently well the deformed mean-field structure as well as the cluster
structure and their mixed structure within the same framework. The improvement
over the original version of the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics which uses
the spherical Gaussian is verified by the application to
nucleus. The almost pure cluster structure of the
= band, the distortion of the cluster structure in the
= band and the dominance of the deformed mean-field structure of
the = band are confirmed and their observed properties are
reproduced. Especially, the intra-band E2 transition probabilities in
= and bands are reproduced without any effective charge.
Since it has been long known that the pure
cluster model underestimates the intra-band transitions in the
= band by about 30%, we consider that this success is due to the
sufficient description of the deformed mean-field structure in addition to the
cluster structure by the present framework. From the successful description of
, we expect that the present framework presents us with a
powerful approach for the study of the coexistence and interplay of the
mean-field structure and the cluster structure
Effect of a Transverse D.C. Electric Fields on Electrostatic lon-Cyclotron Wave Instability
Abstract The temporal evolution of the current-driven electrostatic ion-cyclotron (CDEIC) instability is investigated in presence of a transverse d.c. electric fields in a collisional magnetized plasma. The growth rate of the instability has the largest value at the mode frequency for the appropriate magnetic field (where the effect of a transverse d.c. electric fields is larger) when the electron drift velocity is less than the critical value for the CDEIC instability. The growth rate is also a sensitive function of electron collision frequency
An SU(N) Mott insulator of an atomic Fermi gas realized by large-spin Pomeranchuk cooling
The Hubbard model, containing only the minimum ingredients of nearest
neighbor hopping and on-site interaction for correlated electrons, has
succeeded in accounting for diverse phenomena observed in solid-state
materials. One of the interesting extensions is to enlarge its spin symmetry to
SU(N>2), which is closely related to systems with orbital degeneracy. Here we
report a successful formation of the SU(6) symmetric Mott insulator state with
an atomic Fermi gas of ytterbium (173Yb) in a three-dimensional optical
lattice. Besides the suppression of compressibility and the existence of charge
excitation gap which characterize a Mott insulating phase, we reveal an
important difference between the cases of SU(6) and SU(2) in the achievable
temperature as the consequence of different entropy carried by an isolated
spin. This is analogous to Pomeranchuk cooling in solid 3He and will be helpful
for investigating exotic quantum phases of SU(N) Hubbard system at extremely
low temperatures.Comment: 20 pages, 6 figures, to appear in Nature Physic
