Matrix product states approach to the Heisenberg ferrimagnetic spin chains

We propose a new version of the matrix product (MP) states approach to the description of quantum spin chains, which allows one to construct MP states with certain total spin and its z-projection. We show that previously known MP wavefunctions for integer-spin antiferromagnetic chains and ladders correspond to some particular cases of our general ansatz. Our method allows to describe systems with spontaneously broken rotational symmetry, like quantum ferrimagnetic chains whose ground state has nonzero total spin. We apply this approach to describe the ground state properties of the isotropic ferrimagnetic Heisenberg chain with alternating spins 1 and 1/2 and compare our variational results with the high-precision numerical data obtained by means of the quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) method. For both the ground state energy and the correlation functions we obtain very good agreement between the variational results and the QMC data.Comment: 4 pages, RevTeX, uses psfig.sty, submitted to Phys.

Effect of salinity on growth and survival of juvenile Indian spiny lobster, Panulirus homarus (Linnaeus)

The spiny lobster, Panulirus homarus has recently captured much attention in India for fattening in marine cages due to its high demand in the international market. Water quality parameters play an important role in the production rate of commercial lobster mariculture. In the present study, juvenile lobsters (93.63 ± 0.4 g, mean ± SD; 41.66 ± 0.57 mm CL, mean ± SD) were grown in four different salinities (20, 25, 30 and 35 ppt) over a period of 80 d and significant differences (p<0.01) were observed in survival and growth. Growth was highest in 35 ppt salinity and progressively reduced at lower salinities. Although rearing in seawater of 35 ppt salinity has resulted in the best performance for P. homarus, its capacity to tolerate lower salinities would provide greater opportunity to develop commercial aquaculture

Competing Ground States of a Peierls-Hubbard Nanotube

Motivated by iodo platinum complexes assembled within a quadratic-prism lattice, [Pt(C$_2$H$_8$N$_2$)(C$_{10}$H$_8$N$_2$)I]$_4$(NO$_3$)$_8$, we investigate the ground-state properties of a Peierls-Hubbard four-legged tube. Making a group-theoretical analysis, we systematically reveal a variety of valence arrangements, including half-metallic charge-density-wave states. Quantum and thermal phase competition is numerically demonstrated with particular emphasis on doping-induced successive insulator-to-metal transitions with conductivity increasing stepwise.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures. to be published in Europhys.

Topology conserving gauge action and the overlap-Dirac operator

We apply the topology conserving gauge action proposed by Luescher to the four-dimensional lattice QCD simulation in the quenched approximation. With this gauge action the topological charge is stabilized along the hybrid Monte Carlo updates compared to the standard Wilson gauge action. The quark potential and renormalized coupling constant are in good agreement with the results obtained with the Wilson gauge action. We also investigate the low-lying eigenvalue distribution of the hermitian Wilson-Dirac operator, which is relevant for the construction of the overlap-Dirac operator.Comment: 27pages, 11figures, accepted versio
