Antibonding Ground state of Adatom Molecules in Bulk Dirac Semimetals
The ground state of the diatomic molecules in nature is inevitably bonding,
and its first excited state is antibonding. We demonstrate theoretically that,
for a pair of distant adatoms placed buried in three-dimensional-Dirac
semimetals, this natural order of the states can be reversed and an antibonding
ground state occurs at the lowest energy of the so-called bound states in the
continuum. We propose an experimental protocol with the use of a scanning
tunneling microscope tip to visualize the topographic map of the local density
of states on the surface of the system to reveal the emerging physics
Quantum phase transition triggering magnetic BICs in graphene
Graphene hosting a pair of collinear adatoms in the phantom atom
configuration has pseudogap with cubic scaling on energy,
which leads to the appearance of
spin-degenerate bound states in the continuum (BICs) [Phys. Rev. B 92, 045409
(2015)]. In the case when adatoms are locally coupled to a single carbon atom
the pseudogap scales linearly with energy, which prevents the formation of
BICs. In this Letter, we explore the effects of non-local coupling
characterized by the Fano factor of interference tunable by changing
the slope of the Dirac cones in the graphene band-structure. We demonstrate
that three distinct regimes can be identified: i) for (critical
point) a mixed pseudogap appears
yielding a phase with spin-degenerate BICs; ii) near when
the system undergoes a quantum phase
transition in which the new phase is characterized by magnetic BICs and iii) at
a second critical value the cubic scaling of the pseudogap with
energy characteristic to the phantom atom
configuration is restored and the phase with non-magnetic BICs is recovered.
The phase with magnetic BICs can be described in terms of an effective
intrinsic exchange field of ferromagnetic nature between the adatoms mediated
by graphene monolayer. We thus propose a new type of quantum phase transition
resulting from the competition between the states characterized by
spin-degenerate and magnetic BICs
Catching the Bound States in the Continuum of a Phantom Atom in Graphene
We explore theoretically the formation of bound states in the continuum
(BICs) in graphene hosting two collinear adatoms situated at different sides of
the sheet and at the center of the hexagonal cell, where a phantom atom of a
fictitious lattice emulates the six carbons of the cell. We verify that in this
configuration the local density of states (LDOS) near the Dirac points exhibits
two characteristic features: i) the cubic dependence on energy instead of the
linear one for graphene as found in New J. Phys. 16, 013045 (2014) and ii)
formation of BICs as aftermath of a Fano destructive interference assisted by
the Coulomb correlations in the adatoms. For the geometry where adatoms are
collinear to carbon atoms, we report absence of BICs
Nutrientes limitantes ao estabelecimento e produção de Brachiaria humidicola consorciada com leguminosas em tesos da Ilha de Marajó.
Uma pastagem de Brachiaria humidicola consorciada com leguminosas foi estabelecida em uma área de "tesos" da fazenda Curral do Meio, localizada no município de Ponta de Pedras na ilha de Marajó (PA), objetivando avaliar o efeito da omissão de nutrientes sobre o estabelecimento e rendimento das plantas. O solo e um Plintossolo ácido e de baixa fertilidade natural. O clima, segundo Koppen, e Amitropical chuvoso, com precipitação pluviométrica anual media de 2.500 mm, temperatura media de 27C e umidade relativa em torno dos 85%. Utilizou-se o delineamento experimental inteiramente ao acaso com dez tratamentos e três repetições. Periodicamente, eram realizados cortes com vistas a determinação da produção de matéria seca. Os resultados obtidos indicam baixo potencial de resposta das espécies em consorcio aos nutrientes. O potássio foi o nutriente mais limitante a persistência das leguminosas no consorcio.bitstream/item/32031/1/CPATU-BP118.pd
Oral bacterial microbiota and traumatic injuries of free-ranging Phrynops geoffroanus (Testudines, Chelidae) in southeastern Brazil
During 2006 and 2007, we collected free-ranging Phrynops geoffroanus, from two anthropogenically altered rivers in southeastern Brazil. Oral microbiological samples were taken for isolation of aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria; a physical examination was performed;and we evaluated possible effects on the turtles’ health. Twenty-nine species of bacteria were isolated in Piracicaba River turtles (n=10), and twenty-four species in Piracicamirim stream turtles (n=8), most of them gram-negative. In both sites, potential pathogens for reptiles were: Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter agglomerans, Citrobacter freundii, and Bacillus sp. Although boatpropeller lesions were common on the carapace of the turtles, we have not found turtles with signs of clinical diseases. The oral bacterial microbiota of P. geoffroanus inhabiting the Piracicaba River basin are composed of a diverse microbe spectrum, and long-term studies of the effects of pollution and traumatic injuries on this population and its microbial flora are warranted
