Intermixture of extended edge and localized bulk energy levels in macroscopic Hall systems
We study the spectrum of a random Schroedinger operator for an electron
submitted to a magnetic field in a finite but macroscopic two dimensional
system of linear dimensions equal to L. The y direction is periodic and in the
x direction the electron is confined by two smooth increasing boundary
potentials. The eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian are classified according to
their associated quantum mechanical current in the y direction. Here we look at
an interval of energies inside the first Landau band of the random operator for
the infinite plane. In this energy interval, with large probability, there
exist O(L) eigenvalues with positive or negative currents of O(1). Between each
of these there exist O(L^2) eigenvalues with infinitesimal current
O(exp(-cB(log L)^2)). We explain what is the relevance of this analysis to the
integer quantum Hall effect.Comment: 29 pages, no figure
Brain Microstructure assessed by CHARMED and NODDI in the newborn
DTI, may be the only feasible technique to study micorstructural changes occurring during the brain development. The main aims of this study was to design a complete new pipeline to perform micro-structural diffusion analysis in neonatal brain and to compare DTI to CHARMED and NODDI, which provides new microstructural metrics such as the intra-cellular volume fraction (nic) and the orientation dispersion index (ODI). High quality subject template was generated using DTI-TK tensor registration tools, which allows the accurate definitions of 13 ROIs. FA, nic and ODI were able to depict fine microstructural differences in early maturation fiber tracts
