Supersymmetry of FRW barotropic cosmologies
Barotropic FRW cosmologies are presented from the standpoint of
nonrelativistic supersymmetry. First, we reduce the barotropic FRW system of
differential equations to simple harmonic oscillator differential equations.
Employing the factorization procedure, the solutions of the latter equations
are divided into the two classes of bosonic (nonsingular) and fermionic
(singular) cosmological solutions. We next introduce a coupling parameter
denoted by K between the two classes of solutions and obtain barotropic
cosmologies with dissipative features acting on the scale factors and spatial
curvature of the universe. The K-extended FRW equations in comoving time are
presented in explicit form in the low coupling regime. The standard barotropic
FRW cosmologies correspond to the dissipationless limit K =0Comment: 6 page
Seismic Response Analysis of Pile-Supported Structure: Assessment of Commonly Used Approximations
The seismic response of a pile-supported structure is formulated by the approach developed by the first author. Using this formulation, some of the crude approximations frequently used in the seismic response analysis of a soil-pile-structure system are examined. Those involved in the analysis procedure are assessed under the linear elastic condition. A commonly used nonlinear soil model for the dynamic pile response analysis is also assessed. It is found that those approximations routinely used in the analysis procedure and numerical modelling can cause significant errors in the computed response of a pile-supported structure
Nonlinear Conduction by Melting of Stripe-Type Charge Order in Organic Conductors with Triangular Lattices
We theoretically discuss the mechanism for the peculiar nonlinear conduction
in quasi-two-dimensional organic conductors \theta-(BEDT-TTF)2X
[BEDT-TTF=bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene] through the melting of
stripe-type charge order. An extended Peierls-Hubbard model attached to
metallic electrodes is investigated by a nonequilibrium Green's function
technique. A novel current-voltage characteristic appears in a coexistent state
of stripe-type and nonstripe 3-fold charge orders, where the applied bias melts
mainly the stripe-type charge order through the reduction of lattice
distortion, whereas the 3-fold charge order survives. These contrastive
responses of the two different charge orders are consistent with the
experimental observations.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, to appear in J. Phys. Soc. Jp
Para to Ortho transition of metallic dimers on Si(001)
Extensive electronic structure calculations are performed to obtain the
stable geometries of metals like Al, Ga and In on the Si(001) surface at 0.5 ML
and 1 ML coverages. Our results coupled with previous theoretical findings
explain the recent experimental data in a comprehensive fashion. At low
coverages, as shown by previous works, `Para' dimers give the lowest energy
structure. With increasing coverage beyond 0.5 ML, `Ortho' dimers become part
of low energy configurations leading toward a `Para' to `Ortho' transition at 1
ML coverage. For In mixed staggered dimers (`Ortho' and `Para') give the lowest
energy configuration. For Ga, mixed dimers are non-staggered, while for Al
`Para' to `Ortho' transition of dimers is complete. Thus at intermediate
coverages between 0.5 and 1 ML, the `Ortho' and `Para' dimers may coexist on
the surface. Consequently, this may be an explanation of the fact that the
experimental observations can be successfully interpreted using either
orientation. A supported zigzag structure at 0.5 ML, which resembles , does not undergo a dimerization transition, and hence stays
semi-metallic. Also, unlike the soliton formation is ruled out
for this structure.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figure
