    Classification of one-dimensional quasilattices into mutual local-derivability classes

    Full text link
    One-dimensional quasilattices are classified into mutual local-derivability (MLD) classes on the basis of geometrical and number-theoretical considerations. Most quasilattices are ternary, and there exist an infinite number of MLD classes. Every MLD class has a finite number of quasilattices with inflation symmetries. We can choose one of them as the representative of the MLD class, and other members are given as decorations of the representative. Several MLD classes of particular importance are listed. The symmetry-preserving decorations rules are investigated extensively.Comment: 42 pages, latex, 5 eps figures, Published in JPS

    Binary self-similar one-dimensional quasilattices: Mutual local-derivability classification and substitution rules

    Full text link
    Self-similar binary one-dimensional (1D) quasilattices (QLs) are classified into mutual local-derivability (MLD) classes. It is shown that the MLD classification is closely related to the number-theoretical classification of parameters which specify the self-similar binary 1D QLs. An algorithm to derive an explicit substitution rule, which prescribes the transformation of a QL into another QL in the same MLD class, is presented. An explicit inflation rule, which prescribes the transformation of the self-similar 1D QL into itself, is obtained as a composition of the explicit substitution rules. Symmetric substitution rules and symmetric inflation rules are extensively discussed.Comment: 24 pages, 4 figures, submitted to PR

    Measurement of Single and Double Spin-Flip Probabilities in Inelastic Deuteron Scattering on 12C at 270 MeV

    The deuteron single and double spin-flip probabilities, S1 and S2, have been measured for the 12C(pol{d},pol{d}') reaction at Ed = 270 MeV for an excitation energy range between 4 and 24 MeV and a scattering angular range between Theta_lab = 2.5 and 7.5 deg. The extracted S1 exhibits characteristic values depending on the structure of the excited state. The S2 is close to zero over the measured excitation energy range. The SFP angular distribution data for the 2+ (4.44 MeV) and 1+ (12.71 MeV) states are well described by the microscopic DWIA calculations

    Electronic Theory for the Transition from Fermi-Liquid to Non-Fermi-Liquid Behavior in High-Tc_{c} Superconductors

    Full text link
    We analyze the breakdown of Fermi-liquid behavior within the 2D Hubbard model as function of doping using our recently developed numerical method for the self consistent summation of bubble and ladder diagrams. For larger doping concentrations the system behaves like a conventional Fermi-liquid and for intermediate doping similar to a marginal Fermi-liquid. However, for smaller doping pronounced deviations from both pictures occur which are due to the increasing importance of the short range antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations. This is closely related to the experimental observed shadow states in the normal state of high-TcT_c superconductors. Furthermore, we discuss the implications of our results for transport experiments.Comment: 11 pages (REVTeX) with 4 figures (Postscript

    Two-dimensional XY spin/gauge glasses on periodic and quasiperiodic lattices

    Full text link
    Via Monte Carlo studies of the frustrated XY or classical planar model we demonstrate the possibility of a finite (nonzero) temperature spin/gauge glass phase in two dimensions. Examples of both periodic and quasiperiodic two dimensional lattices, where a high temperature paramagnetic phase changes to a spin/gauge glass phase with the lowering of temperature, are presented. The existence of the spin/gauge glass phase is substantiated by our study of the temperature dependence of the Edwards-Anderson order parameter, spin glass susceptibility, linear susceptibility and the specific heat. Finite size scaling analysis of spin glass susceptibility and order parameter yields a nonzero critical temperature and exponents that are in close agreement with those obtained by Bhatt and Young in their random ±J{\pm J} Ising model study on a square lattice. These results suggest that certain periodic and quasiperiodic two-dimensional arrays of superconducting grains in suitably chosen transverse magnetic fields should behave as superconducting glasses at low temperatures.Comment: RevTex, 25 pages. 11 epsf figures available upon request ([email protected] or [email protected]).

    Periodic features in the Dynamic Structure Factor of the Quasiperiodic Period-doubling Lattice

    Full text link
    We present an exact real-space renormalization group (RSRG) method for evaluating the dynamic structure factor of an infinite one-dimensional quasiperiodic period-doubling (PD) lattice. We observe that for every normal mode frequency of the chain, the dynamic structure factor S(q,ω)S(q,\omega) always exhibits periodicity with respect to the wave vector qq and the presence of such periodicity even in absence of translational invariance in the system is quite surprising. Our analysis shows that this periodicity in S(q,ω)S(q,\omega) actually indicates the presence of delocalized phonon modes in the PD chain. The Brillouin Zones of the lattice are found to have a hierarchical structure and the dispersion relation gives both the acoustic as well as optical branches. The phonon dispersion curves have a nested structure and we have shown that it is actually the superposition of the dispersion curves of an infinite set of periodic lattices.Comment: 9 pages, 3 postscript figures, REVTeX, To appear in Phys.
