Low distortion automatic phase control circuit
A voltage controlled phase shifter is rendered substantially harmonic distortion free over a large dynamic input range by employing two oppositely poled, equally biased varactor diodes as the voltage controlled elements which adjust the phase shift. Control voltages which affect the bias of both diodes equally are used to adjust the phase shift without increasing distortion. A feedback stabilized phase shifter is rendered substantially frequency independent by employing a phase detector to control the phase shift of the voltage controlled phase shifter

Magnetic ordering, electronic structure and magnetic anisotropy energy in the high-spin Mn single molecule magnet
We report the electronic structure and magnetic ordering of the single
molecule magnet [MnO(2,2'-biphenoxide)Br]
based on first-principles all-electron density-functional calculations. We find
that two of the ten core Mn atoms are coupled antiferromagnetically to the
remaining eight, resulting in a ferrimagnetic ground state with total spin
S=13. The calculated magnetic anisotropy barrier is found to be 9 K in good
agreement with experiment. The presence of the Br anions impact the electronic
structure and therefore the magnetic properties of the 10 Mn atoms. However,
the electric field due to the negative charges has no significant effect on the
magnetic anisotropy.Comment: 4 pages, submitted to PR
DFT calculation of the intermolecular exchange interaction in the magnetic Mn dimer
The dimeric form of the single-molecule magnet
[MnOCl(OCEt)(py)] recently revealed interesting
phenomena: no quantum tunneling at zero field and tunneling before magnetic
field reversal. This is attributed to substantial antiferromagnetic exchange
interaction between different monomers. The intermolecular exchange
interaction, electronic structure and magnetic properties of this molecular
magnet are calculated using density-functional theory within
generalized-gradient approximation. Calculations are in good agreement with
experiment.Comment: 4 page

Electronic Structure of Superconducting Ba6c60
We report the results of first-principles electronic-structure calculations
for superconducting Ba6C60. Unlike the A3C60 superconductors, this new compound
shows strong Ba-C hybridization in the valence and conduction regions, mixed
covalent/ionic bonding character, partial charge transfer, and insulating
zero-gap band structure.Comment: 11 pages + 4 figures (1 appended, others on request), LaTeX with

Density-functional-based predictions of Raman and IR spectra for small Si clusters
We have used a density-functional-based approach to study the response of silicon clusters to applied electric fields. For the dynamical response, we have calculated the Raman activities and infrared (IR) intensities for all of the vibrational modes of several clusters (SiN with N=3-8, 10, 13, 20, and 21) using the local density approximation (LDA). For the smaller clusters (N=3-8) our results are in good agreement with previous quantum-chemical calculations and experimental measurements, establishing that LDA-based IR and Raman data can be used in conjunction with measured spectra to determine the structure of clusters observed in experiment. To illustrate the potential of the method for larger clusters, we present calculated IR and Raman data for two low-energy isomers of Si10 and for the lowest-energy structure of Si13 found to date. For the static response, we compare our calculated polarizabilities for N=10, 13, 20, and 21 to recent experimental measurements. The calculated results are in rough agreement with experiment, but show less variation with cluster size than the measurements. Taken together, our results show that LDA calculations can offer a powerful means for establishing the structures of experimentally fabricated clusters and nanoscale systems
Predicted Infrared and Raman Spectra for Neutral Ti_8C_12 Isomers
Using a density-functional based algorithm, the full IR and Raman spectra are
calculated for the neutral Ti_8C_12 cluster assuming geometries of Th, Td, D2d
and C3v symmetry. The Th pentagonal dodecahedron is found to be dynamically
unstable. The calculated properties of the relaxed structure having C3v
symmetry are found to be in excellent agreement with experimental gas phase
infrared results, ionization potential and electron affinity measurements.
Consequently, the results presented may be used as a reference for further
experimental characterization using vibrational spectroscopy.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures. Physical Review A, 2002 (in press
