Comment on Photothermal radiometry parametric identifiability theory for reliable and unique nondestructive coating thickness and thermophysical measurements, J. Appl. Phys. 121(9), 095101 (2017)
A recent paper [X. Guo, A. Mandelis, J. Tolev and K. Tang, J. Appl. Phys.,
121, 095101 (2017)] intends to demonstrate that from the photothermal
radiometry signal obtained on a coated opaque sample in 1D transfer, one should
be able to identify separately the following three parameters of the coating:
thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity and thickness. In this comment, it is
shown that the three parameters are correlated in the considered experimental
arrangement, the identifiability criterion is in error and the thickness
inferred therefrom is not trustable.Comment: 3 page
A lattice Poisson algebra for the Pohlmeyer reduction of the AdS_5 x S^5 superstring
The Poisson algebra of the Lax matrix associated with the Pohlmeyer reduction
of the AdS_5 x S^5 superstring is computed from first principles. The resulting
non-ultralocality is mild, which enables to write down a corresponding lattice
Poisson algebra.Comment: 5 page
On classical q-deformations of integrable sigma-models
JHEP is an open-access journal funded by SCOAP3 and licensed under CC BY 4.0A procedure is developed for constructing deformations of integrable σ-models which are themselves classically integrable. When applied to the principal chiral model on any compact Lie group F, one recovers the Yang-Baxter σ-model introduced a few years ago by C. Klimčík. In the case of the symmetric space σ-model on F/G we obtain a new one-parameter family of integrable σ-models. The actions of these models correspond to a deformation of the target space geometry and include a torsion term. An interesting feature of the construction is the q-deformation of the symmetry corresponding to left multiplication in the original models, which becomes replaced by a classical q-deformed Poisson-Hopf algebra. Another noteworthy aspect of the deformation in the coset σ-model case is that it interpolates between a compact and a non-compact symmetric space. This is exemplified in the case of the SU(2)/U(1) coset σ-model which interpolates all the way to the SU(1, 1)/U(1) coset σ-modelPeer reviewedFinal Published versio
Two-dimensional hydrodynamic lattice-gas simulations of binary immiscible and ternary amphiphilic fluid flow through porous media
The behaviour of two dimensional binary and ternary amphiphilic fluids under
flow conditions is investigated using a hydrodynamic lattice gas model. After
the validation of the model in simple cases (Poiseuille flow, Darcy's law for
single component fluids), attention is focussed on the properties of binary
immiscible fluids in porous media. An extension of Darcy's law which explicitly
admits a viscous coupling between the fluids is verified, and evidence of
capillary effects are described. The influence of a third component, namely
surfactant, is studied in the same context. Invasion simulations have also been
performed. The effect of the applied force on the invasion process is reported.
As the forcing level increases, the invasion process becomes faster and the
residual oil saturation decreases. The introduction of surfactant in the
invading phase during imbibition produces new phenomena, including
emulsification and micellisation. At very low fluid forcing levels, this leads
to the production of a low-resistance gel, which then slows down the progress
of the invading fluid. At long times (beyond the water percolation threshold),
the concentration of remaining oil within the porous medium is lowered by the
action of surfactant, thus enhancing oil recovery. On the other hand, the
introduction of surfactant in the invading phase during drainage simulations
slows down the invasion process -- the invading fluid takes a more tortuous
path to invade the porous medium -- and reduces the oil recovery (the residual
oil saturation increases).Comment: 48 pages, 26 figures. Phys. Rev. E (in press
Resolution of the Nested Hierarchy for Rational sl(n) Models
We construct Drinfel'd twists for the rational sl(n) XXX-model giving rise to
a completely symmetric representation of the monodromy matrix. We obtain a
polarization free representation of the pseudoparticle creation operators
figuring in the construction of the Bethe vectors within the framework of the
quantum inverse scattering method. This representation enables us to resolve
the hierarchy of the nested Bethe ansatz for the sl(n) invariant rational
Heisenberg model. Our results generalize the findings of Maillet and Sanchez de
Santos for sl(2) models.Comment: 25 pages, no figure
Integrable double deformation of the principal chiral model
© 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. This is an open access article under the CC BY license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). Funded by SCOAP3We define a two-parameter family of integrable deformations of the principal chiral model on an arbitrary compact group. The Yang–Baxter σ-model and the principal chiral model with a Wess–Zumino term both correspond to limits in which one of the two parameters vanishesPeer reviewe
Computation of dynamical correlation functions of Heisenberg chains in a field
We compute the momentum- and frequency-dependent longitudinal spin structure
factor for the one-dimensional spin-1/2 Heisenberg spin chain in a
magnetic field, using exact determinant representations for form factors on the
lattice. Multiparticle contributions are computed numerically throughout the
Brillouin zone, yielding saturation of the sum rule to high precision.Comment: 4 pages, 14 figure
Computation of dynamical correlation functions of Heisenberg chains: the gapless anisotropic regime
We compute all dynamical spin-spin correlation functions for the spin-1/2
anisotropic Heisenberg model in the gapless antiferromagnetic regime,
using numerical sums of exact determinant representations for form factors of
spin operators on the lattice. Contributions from intermediate states
containing many particles and string (bound) states are included. We present
modified determinant representations for the form factors valid in the general
case with string solutions to the Bethe equations. Our results are such that
the available sum rules are saturated to high precision. We Fourier transform
our results back to real space, allowing us in particular to make a comparison
with known exact formulas for equal-time correlation functions for small
separations in zero field, and with predictions for the zero-field asymptotics
from conformal field theory.Comment: 14 page
Dynamical correlation functions of the XXZ model at finite temperature
Combining a lattice path integral formulation for thermodynamics with the
solution of the quantum inverse scattering problem for local spin operators, we
derive a multiple integral representation for the time-dependent longitudinal
correlation function of the spin-1/2 Heisenberg XXZ chain at finite temperature
and in an external magnetic field. Our formula reproduces the previous results
in the following three limits: the static, the zero-temperature and the XY
limits.Comment: 22 pages, v4: typos corrected, published versio
Drinfeld Twists and Algebraic Bethe Ansatz of the Supersymmetric t-J Model
We construct the Drinfeld twists (factorizing -matrices) for the
supersymmetric t-J model. Working in the basis provided by the -matrix (i.e.
the so-called -basis), we obtain completely symmetric representations of the
monodromy matrix and the pseudo-particle creation operators of the model. These
enable us to resolve the hierarchy of the nested Bethe vectors for the
invariant t-J model.Comment: 23 pages, no figure, Latex file, minor misprints are correcte
