"Exact" Algorithm for Random-Bond Ising Models in 2D
We present an efficient algorithm for calculating the properties of Ising
models in two dimensions, directly in the spin basis, without the need for
mapping to fermion or dimer models. The algorithm gives numerically exact
results for the partition function and correlation functions at a single
temperature on any planar network of N Ising spins in O(N^{3/2}) time or less.
The method can handle continuous or discrete bond disorder and is especially
efficient in the case of bond or site dilution, where it executes in O(L^2 ln
L) time near the percolation threshold. We demonstrate its feasibility on the
ferromagnetic Ising model and the +/- J random-bond Ising model (RBIM) and
discuss the regime of applicability in cases of full frustration such as the
Ising antiferromagnet on a triangular lattice.Comment: 4.2 pages, 5 figures, accepted for publication in Phys. Rev. Let
Noise Predictions for STM in Systems with Local Electron Nematic Order
We propose that thermal noise in local stripe orientation should be readily
detectable via STM on systems in which local stripe orientations are strongly
affected by quenched disorder. Stripes, a unidirectional, nanoscale modulation
of electronic charge, are strongly affected by quenched disorder in
two-dimensional and quasi-two-dimensional systems. While stripe orientations
tend to lock to major lattice directions, dopant disorder locally breaks
rotational symmetry. In a host crystal with otherwise rotational
symmetry, stripe orientations in the presence of quenched disorder map to the
random field Ising model. While the low temperature state of such a system is
generally a stripe glass in two dimensional or strongly layered systems, as the
temperature is raised, stripe orientational fluctuations become more prevalent.
We propose that these thermally excited fluctuations should be readily
detectable in scanning tunneling spectroscopy as {\em telegraph noise} in the
high voltage part of the local curves. We predict the spatial, temporal,
and thermal evolution of such noise, including the circumstances under which
such noise is most likely to be observed. In addition, we propose an in-situ
test, amenable to any local scanning probe, for assessing whether such noise is
due to correlated fluctuations rather than independent switchers.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figure
Analisis Pengaruh Pertumbuhan Perusahaan, Kebijakan Utang, Collateralizable Assets, dan Ukuran Perusahaan terhadap Kebijakan Dividen pada Perusahaan Manufaktur yang Terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia Periode 2012-2014
Companies that issued shares to raise funds, must set aside some of the profits to be distributed as dividends. Dividend policy is a policy of how large distributions to the company's shareholders in proportion to the number of shares owned. Companies should establish a policy of dividend because the distribution of dividend will have an impact on corporate value as reflected in stock prices.
This study uses multiple linear regression analysis which were processed using SPSS version 22. This study aimed to examine the effect on firm growth, debt policy, collateralizable assets, and firm size to dividend policy of the company. The sample used in this study were 105 companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange from the period 2012-2014. Empirically, it was found that the firm growth and firm size were affected to the dividend policy of the company, while the debt policy and collateralizable assets were not affected to the dividend policy of the company
Analisis Pengaruh Perjanjian Utang, Kepemilikan Institusional, dan Ukuran Perusahaan terhadap Manajemen Laba Riil pada Perusahaan Manufaktur yang Terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia
Real Earnings Management is the real operating management activities undertaken by manager for a particular purpose. Real earnings management directly affect the cash flows of current and future, also the amount of accrual accounting, making it difficult to be monitored and detected by the board, auditors, regulators, and other stakeholders, as well as difficult for investors to be understood. Therefore, companies management prefer to do real earnings management, compared to rely on accrual earnings manipulation.
This research aims to determine the effect of the debt covenant, institutional ownership, and firm size to real earnings management. This research uses the method of multiple linear regression analysis, using data from the Indonesia Stock Exchange with samples of 156 companies for the period 2012 - 2014. Empirically, it was found that the debt covenant was not affected to the real earnings management, while institutional ownership and firm size were affected to the real earnings management
Coulomb blockade and quantum tunnelling in the low-conductivity phase of granular metals
We study the effects of Coulomb interaction and inter-grain quantum
tunnelling in an array of metallic grains using the phase-functional approach
for temperatures well below the charging energy of individual
grains yet large compared to the level spacing in the grains. When the
inter-grain tunnelling conductance , the conductivity in
dimensions decreases logarithmically with temperature
(), while for ,
the conductivity shows simple activated behaviour ().
We show, for bare tunnelling conductance , that the parameter
determines the competition between
charging and tunnelling effects. At low enough temperatures in the regime
, a charge is shared among a finite
number of grains, and we find a soft
activation behaviour of the conductivity, , where is the effective
coordination number of a grain.Comment: 11 pages REVTeX, 3 Figures. Appendix added, replaced with published

Vlasov Description Of Dense Quark Matter
We discuss properties of quark matter at finite baryon densities and zero
temperature in a Vlasov approach. We use a screened interquark Richardson's
potential consistent with the indications of Lattice QCD calculations.
We analyze the choices of the quark masses and the parameters entering the
potential which reproduce the binding energy (B.E.) of infinite nuclear matter.
There is a transition from nuclear to quark matter at densities 5 times above
normal nuclear matter density. The transition could be revealed from the
determination of the position of the shifted meson masses in dense baryonic
matter. A scaling form of the meson masses in dense matter is given.Comment: 15 pages 4 figure

Mystery of Excess Low Energy States in a Disordered Superconductor in a Zeeman Field
Tunneling density of states measurements of disordered superconducting (SC)
Al films in high Zeeman fields reveal a significant population of subgap states
which cannot be explained by standard BCS theory. We provide a natural
explanation of these excess states in terms of a novel disordered
Larkin-Ovchinnikov (dLO) phase that occurs near the spin-paramagnetic
transition at the Chandrasekhar-Clogston critical field. The dLO superconductor
is characterized by a pairing amplitude that changes sign at domain walls.
These domain walls carry magnetization and support Andreev bound states, which
lead to distinct spectral signatures at low energy.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, plus supplementary section describing methods (2
