Power-law statistics and stellar rotational velocities in the Pleiades
In this paper we will show that, the non-gaussian statistics framework based
on the Kaniadakis statistics is more appropriate to fit the observed
distributions of projected rotational velocity measurements of stars in the
Pleiades open cluster. To this end, we compare the results from the
and -distributions with the Maxwellian.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figure
Quantum anisotropic Heisenberg chains with superlattice structure: a DMRG study
Using the density matrix renormalization group technique, we study spin
superlattices composed of a repeated pattern of two spin-1/2 XXZ chains with
different anisotropy parameters. The magnetization curve can exhibit two
plateaus, a non trivial plateau with the magnetization value given by the
relative sizes of the sub-chains and another trivial plateau with zero
magnetization. We find good agreement of the value and the width of the
plateaus with the analytical results obtained previously. In the gapless
regions away from the plateaus, we compare the finite-size spin gap with the
predictions based on bosonization and find reasonable agreement. These results
confirm the validity of the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid superlattice description
of these systems.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure
