    From low-rank approximation to an efficient rational Krylov subspace method for the Lyapunov equation

    Full text link
    We propose a new method for the approximate solution of the Lyapunov equation with rank-11 right-hand side, which is based on extended rational Krylov subspace approximation with adaptively computed shifts. The shift selection is obtained from the connection between the Lyapunov equation, solution of systems of linear ODEs and alternating least squares method for low-rank approximation. The numerical experiments confirm the effectiveness of our approach.Comment: 17 pages, 1 figure

    The continuum gauge field-theory model for low-energy electronic states of icosahedral fullerenes

    Full text link
    The low-energy electronic structure of icosahedral fullerenes is studied within the field-theory model. In the field model, the pentagonal rings in the fullerene are simulated by two kinds of gauge fields. The first one, non-abelian field, follows from so-called K spin rotation invariance for the spinor field while the second one describes the elastic flow due to pentagonal apical disclinations. For fullerene molecule, these fluxes are taken into account by introducing an effective field due to magnetic monopole placed at the center of a sphere. Additionally, the spherical geometry of the fullerene is incorporated via the spin connection term. The exact analytical solution of the problem (both for the eigenfunctions and the energy spectrum) is found.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures, submitted to European Physical Journal

    Nanomechanical displacement detection using coherent transport in ordered and disordered graphene nanoribbon resonators

    Graphene nanoribbons provide an opportunity to integrate phase-coherent transport phenomena with nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). Due to the strain induced by a deflection in a graphene nanoribbon resonator, coherent electron transport and mechanical deformations couple. As the electrons in graphene have a Fermi wavelength \lambda ~ a_0 = 1.4 {\AA}, this coupling can be used for sensitive displacement detection in both armchair and zigzag graphene nanoribbon NEMS. Here it is shown that for ordered as well as disordered ribbon systems of length L, a strain \epsilon ~ (w/L)^2 due to a deflection w leads to a relative change in conductance \delta G/G ~ (w^2/a_0L).Comment: 4 Pages, 4 figure

    Stability and hyperfine structure of the four- and five-body muon-atomic clusters a+b+μ−e−a^{+} b^{+} \mu^{-} e^{-} and a+b+μ−e−e−a^{+} b^{+} \mu^{-} e^{-} e^{-}

    Full text link
    Based on the results of accurate variational calculations we demonstrate stability of the five-body negatively charged ions a+b+μ−e−e−a^{+} b^{+} \mu^{-} e^{-} e^{-}. Each of these five-body ions contains two electrons e−e^{-}, one negatively charged muon μ−\mu^{-} and two nuclei of the hydrogen isotopes a,b=(p,d,t)a, b = (p, d, t). The bound state properties of these five-body ions, including their hyperfine structure, are briefly discussed. We also investigate the hyperfine structure of the ground states of the four-body muonic quasi-atoms a+b+μ−e−a^{+} b^{+} \mu^{-} e^{-}. In particular, we determine the hyperfine structure splittings for the ground state of the four-body muonic quasi-atoms: p+d+μ−e−p^{+} d^{+} \mu^{-} e^{-} and p+t+μ−e−p^{+} t^{+} \mu^{-} e^{-}
