Note on improvement precision of recursive function simulation in floating point standard
An improvement on precision of recursive function simulation in IEEE floating
point standard is presented. It is shown that the average of rounding towards
negative infinite and rounding towards positive infinite yields a better result
than the usual standard rounding to the nearest in the simulation of recursive
functions. In general, the method improves one digit of precision and it has
also been useful to avoid divergence from a correct stationary regime in the
logistic map. Numerical studies are presented to illustrate the method.Comment: DINCON 2017 - Conferencia Brasileira de Dinamica, Controle e

High-field Electron Spin Resonance of Cu_{1-x}Zn_{x}GeO_{3}
High-Field Electron Spin Resonance measurements were made on powder samples
of Cu_{1-x}Zn_{x}GeO_{3} (x=0.00, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 and 0.05) at different
frequencies (95, 110, 190, 220, 330 and 440 GHz) at low temperatures. The
spectra of the doped samples show resonances whose positions are dependent on
Zn concentration, frequency and temperature. The analysis of intensity
variation of these lines with temperature allows us to identify them as
originating in transitions within states situated inside the Spin Peierls gap.
A qualitative explanation of the details of the spectra is possible if we
assume that these states in the gap are associated with "loose" spins created
near the Zn impurities, as recently theoreticaly predicted. A new phenomenon of
quenching of the ESR signal across the Dimerized to Incommensurate
phase-boundary is observed.Comment: 4 pages, 5 ps figures in the text, submitted to Phys. Rev. Let
Structural studies of mesoporous ZrO-CeO and ZrO-CeO/SiO mixed oxides for catalytical applications
In this work the synthesis of ZrO-CeO and
ZrO-CeO/SiO were developed, based on the process to form
ordered mesoporous materials such as SBA-15 silica. The triblock copolymer
Pluronic P-123 was used as template, aiming to obtain crystalline single phase
walls and larger specific surface area, for future applications in catalysis.
SAXS and XRD results showed a relationship between ordered pores and the
material crystallization. 90% of CeO leaded to single phase homogeneous
ceria-zirconia solid solution of cubic fluorite structure (Fmm). The
SiO addition improved structural and textural properties as well as the
reduction behavior at lower temperatures, investigated by XANES measurements
under H atmosphere
New results for the t-J model in ladders: Changes in the spin liquid state with applied magnetic field. Implications for the cuprates
Exact Diagonalization calculations are presented for the t-J model in the
presence of a uniform magnetic field. Results for 2xL ladders (L=8,10,12) and
4x4 square clusters with 1 and 2 holes indicate that the diamagnetic response
to a perpendicular magnetic field tends to induce a spin liquid state in the
spin background. The zero-field spin liquid state of a two-leg ladder is
reinforced by the magnetic field: a considerable increase of rung
antiferromagnetic correlations is observed for J/t up to 0.6, for 1 and 2
holes. Pair-breaking is also clearly observed in the ladders and seems to be
associated in part with changes promoted by the field in the spin correlations
around the zero-field pair. In the 4x4 cluster, the numerical results seem to
indicate that the field-induced spin liquid state competes with the zero-field
antiferromagnetic short-range-order, the spin liquid state being favored by
higher doping and smaller values of J/t. It is interesting to note that the
field-effect can also be observed in a 2x2 plaquette with 1 and 2 holes. This
opens up the possibility of gaining a qualitative understanding of the effect.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figures, latex New results adde
