Electron-Electron Interactions on the Edge States of Graphene: A Many Body Configuration Interaction Study
We have studied zigzag and armchair graphene nano ribbons (GNRs), described
by the Hubbard Hamiltonian using quantum many body configuration interaction
methods. Due to finite termination, we find that the bipartite nature of the
graphene lattice gets destroyed at the edges making the ground state of the
zigzag GNRs a high spin state, whereas the ground state of the armchair GNRs
remains a singlet. Our calculations of charge and spin densities suggest that,
although the electron density prefers to accumulate on the edges, instead of
spin polarization, the up and down spins prefer to mix throughout the GNR
lattice. While the many body charge gap results in insulating behavior for both
kinds of GNRs, the conduction upon application of electric field is still
possible through the edge channels because of their high electron density.
Analysis of optical states suggest differences in quantum efficiency of
luminescence for zigzag and armchair GNRs, which can be probed by simple
experiments.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

Optical conductivity in the CuO double chains of PrBa_2Cu_4O_8: Consequences of charge fluctuation
We calculate the optical conductivity of the CuO double chains of
PrBaCuO by the mean-field approximation for the coupled two-chain
Hubbard model around quarter filling. We show that the 40 meV peak
structure, spectral shape, and small Drude weight observed in experiment are
reproduced well by the present calculation provided that the stripe-type charge
ordering presents. We argue that the observed anomalous optical response may be
due to the presence of stripe-type fluctuations of charge carriers in the CuO
double chains; the fast time scale of the optical measurement should enable one
to detect slowly fluctuating order parameters as virtually a long-range order.Comment: 7 pages, 5 eps figure
Phase Diagram of the ------ Model at Quarter Filling
We examine the ground-state properties of the one-dimensional Hubbard model
at quarter filling with Coulomb interactions between nearest-neighbors
and next-nearest neighbors . Using the density-matrix renormalization
group and exact diagonalization methods, we obtain an accurate ground-state
phase diagram in the - plane with three different phases: - and -charge-density-wave and a broad metallic phase
in-between. The metal is a Tomonaga-Luttinger-liquid whose critical exponent
is largest around , where and are frustrated,
and smallest, , at the boundaries between the metallic phase and
each of the two ordered phases.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, sumitted to PR
A Model Study of the Low-Energy Charge Dynamics of NaV_2O_5
An exact-diagonalization technique on small clusters is used to calculate the
dynamical density correlation functions of the dimerized t-J chain and coupled
anisotropic t-J ladders (trellis lattice) at quarter filling, i.e., the systems
regarded as a network of pairs (dimers or rungs) of sites coupled weakly via
the hopping and exchange interactions. We thereby demonstrate that the
intersite Coulomb repulsions between the pairs induce a low-energy collective
mode in the charge excitations of the systems where the internal charge degrees
of freedom of the pairs play an essential role. Implications to the electronic
states of NaV_2O_5, i.e., fluctuations of the valence state of V ions and phase
transition as a charge ordering, are discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 4 gif figures. Hardcopies of figures (or the entire

Vector Tactile Sensing by a Single Sensor Element of Vibratory Microcantilever Based on Multimode Resonant Frequency Shift
AbstractVibratory force sensors have been fabricated using piezoelectric capacitors on microcantilevers for triaxial sensitivity by a single sensor element. The cantilevers have been formed into three-dimensionally curved shape by controlling residual stress combination of the multilayered structure. Triaxial tactile sensitivity of the cantilever has been analyzed under a load application onto the surface of an elastomer in which the cantilever is embedded. The cantilever is converse-piezoelectrically excited by an external ac voltage and three resonant modes have been developed to detect the applied load vector components by individual sensor element. The applied load vectors are estimated by measured resonant frequencies of the single cantilever sensor in an error less than 1.1% to the full scale of the load 4kPa
Phase diagram of the one-dimensional Hubbard model with next-nearest-neighbor hopping
We study the one-dimensional Hubbard model with nearest-neighbor and
next-nearest-neighbor hopping integrals by using the density-matrix
renormalization group (DMRG) method and Hartree-Fock approximation. Based on
the calculated results for the spin gap, total-spin quantum number, and
Tomonaga-Luttinger-liquid parameter, we determine the ground-state phase
diagram of the model in the entire filling and wide parameter region. We show
that, in contrast to the weak-coupling regime where a spin-gapped liquid phase
is predicted in the region with four Fermi points, the spin gap vanishes in a
substantial region in the strong-coupling regime. It is remarkable that a large
variety of phases, such as the paramagnetic metallic phase, spin-gapped liquid
phase, singlet and triplet superconducting phases, and fully polarized
ferromagnetic phase, appear in such a simple model in the strong-coupling
regime.Comment: 11 pages, 8 figure
