Solving Dirac equations on a 3D lattice with inverse Hamiltonian and spectral methods
A new method to solve the Dirac equation on a 3D lattice is proposed, in
which the variational collapse problem is avoided by the inverse Hamiltonian
method and the fermion doubling problem is avoided by performing spatial
derivatives in momentum space with the help of the discrete Fourier transform,
i.e., the spectral method. This method is demonstrated in solving the Dirac
equation for a given spherical potential in 3D lattice space. In comparison
with the results obtained by the shooting method, the differences in single
particle energy are smaller than ~MeV, and the densities are almost
identical, which demonstrates the high accuracy of the present method. The
results obtained by applying this method without any modification to solve the
Dirac equations for an axial deformed, non-axial deformed, and octupole
deformed potential are provided and discussed.Comment: 18 pages, 6 figure
Covariant description of shape evolution and shape coexistence in neutron-rich nuclei at N\approx60
The shape evolution and shape coexistence phenomena in neutron-rich nuclei at
, including Kr, Sr, Zr, and Mo isotopes, are studied in the
covariant density functional theory (DFT) with the new parameter set PC-PK1.
Pairing correlations are treated using the BCS approximation with a separable
pairing force. Sharp rising in the charge radii of Sr and Zr isotopes at N=60
is observed and shown to be related to the rapid changing in nuclear shapes.
The shape evolution is moderate in neighboring Kr and Mo isotopes. Similar as
the results of previous Hartree-Fock-Bogogliubov (HFB) calculations with the
Gogny force, triaxiality is observed in Mo isotopes and shown to be essential
to reproduce quantitatively the corresponding charge radii. In addition, the
coexistence of prolate and oblate shapes is found in both Sr and
Zr. The observed oblate and prolate minima are related to the low
single-particle energy level density around the Fermi surfaces of neutron and
proton respectively. Furthermore, the 5-dimensional (5D) collective Hamiltonian
determined by the calculations of the PC-PK1 energy functional is solved for
Sr and Zr. The resultant excitation energy of state and
E0 transition strength are in rather good
agreement with the data. It is found that the lower barrier height separating
the two competing minima along the deformation in Zr gives
rise to the larger than that in Sr.Comment: 1 table, 11 figures, 23 page
An Efficient Method for GPS Multipath Mitigation Using the Teager-Kaiser-Operator-based MEDLL
An efficient method for GPS multipath mitigation is proposed. The motivation for this proposed method is to integrate the Teager-Kaiser Operator (TKO) with the Multipath Estimating Delay Lock Loop (MEDLL) module to mitigate the GPS multipath efficiently. The general implementation process of the proposed method is that we first utilize the TKO to operate on the received signal’s Auto-Correlation Function (ACF) to get an initial estimate of the multipaths. Then we transfer the initial estimated results to the MEDLL module for a further estimation. Finally, with a few iterations which are less than those of the original MEDLL algorithm, we can get a more accurate estimate of the Line-Of-Sight (LOS) signal, and thus the goal of the GPS multipath mitigation is achieved. The simulation results show that compared to the original MEDLL algorithm, the proposed method can reduce the computation load and the hardware and/or software consumption of the MEDLL module, meanwhile, without decreasing the algorithm accuracy
Low-lying states in Mg: a beyond relativistic mean-field investigation
The recently developed model of three-dimensional angular momentum projection
plus generator coordinate method on top of triaxial relativistic mean-field
states has been applied to study the low-lying states of Mg. The effects
of triaxiality on the low-energy spectra and E0 and E2 transitions are
examined.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, 1 table, talk presented at the 17th nuclear

Mean-field embedding of the dual fermion approach for correlated electron systems
To reduce the rapidly growing computational cost of the dual fermion lattice
calculation with increasing system size, we introduce two embedding schemes.
One is the real fermion embedding, and the other is the dual fermion embedding.
Our numerical tests show that the real fermion and dual fermion embedding
approaches converge to essentially the same result. The application on the
Anderson disorder and Hubbard models shows that these embedding algorithms
converge more quickly with system size as compared to the conventional dual
fermion method, for the calculation of both single-particle and two-particle
quantities.Comment: 10 pages, 10 figure
Dual Fermion Method for Disordered Electronic Systems
While the coherent potential approximation (CPA) is the prevalent method for
the study of disordered electronic systems, it fails to capture non-local
correlations and Anderson localization. To incorporate such effects, we extend
the dual fermion approach to disordered non-interacting systems using the
replica method. Results for single- and two- particle quantities show good
agreement with cluster extensions of the CPA; moreover, weak localization is
captured. As a natural extension of the CPA, our method presents an alternative
to the existing cluster theories. It can be used in various applications,
including the study of disordered interacting systems, or for the description
of non-local effects in electronic structure calculations.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Study on the effect of metallurgical waste on the water resistance of magnesium oxysulfate cement (MOS) coatings
In this paper, in order to achieve the resource utilization of metallurgical waste, this article studied the water resistance of magnesium oxysulfate cement coating using blast furnace slag powder and iron tailings powder as fillers, and characterized its hydration products using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicate that an appropriate amount of slag powder and iron tailings powder can make the internal structure of the coating more dense, effectively improve the softening coefficient, and enhance water resistance
