Correlated charge polarization in a chain of coupled quantum dots
Coherent charge transfer in a linear array of tunnel-coupled quantum dots,
electrostatically coupled to external gates, is investigated using the Bethe
ansatz for a symmetrically biased Hubbard chain. Charge polarization in this
correlated system is shown to proceed via two distinct processes: formation of
bound states in the metallic phase, and charge transfer processes corresponding
to a superposition of antibound states at opposite ends of the chain in the
Mott-insulating phase. The polarizability in the insulating phase of the chain
exhibits a universal scaling behavior, while the polarization charge in the
metallic phase of the model is shown to be quantized in units of .Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures, 1 tabl
Constraining the extra heating of the Diffuse Ionized Gas in the Milky Way
The detailed observations of the diffuse ionized gas through the emission
lines H, [NII], and [SII] in the Perseus Arm of our Galaxy by the
Wisconsin H Mapper (WHAM)--survey challenge photoionization models.
They have to explain the observed rise in the line ratios [NII]/H and
[SII]/H. The models described here consider for the first time the
detailed observational geometry toward the Perseus Arm. The models address the
vertical variation of the line ratios up to height of 2 kpc above the midplane.
The rising trends of the line ratios are matched. The increase in the line
ratios is reflected in a rise of the temperature of the gas layer. This is due
to the progressive hardening of the radiation going through the gas. However an
extra heating above photoionization is needed to explain the absolute values.
Two different extra heating rates are investigated which are proportional to
and . The models show that a combination of both are best to explain
the data, where the extra heating independent of density is dominant for z
0.8 kpc.Comment: accepted for publication in Ap
