Finite size and finite temperature studies of the spin chain
We study a quantum spin chain invariant by the superalgebra . We
derived non-linear integral equations for the row-to-row transfer matrix
eigenvalue in order to analyze its finite size scaling behaviour and we
determined its central charge. We have also studied the thermodynamical
properties of the obtained spin chain via the non-linear integral equations for
the quantum transfer matrix eigenvalue. We numerically solved these NLIE and
evaluated the specific heat and magnetic susceptibility. The analytical low
temperature analysis was performed providing a different value for the
effective central charge. The computed values are in agreement with the
numerical predictions in the literature.Comment: 26 pages, 2 figure
Microstrip resonator for microwaves with controllable polarization
In this work the authors implemented a resonator based upon microstrip
cavities that permits the generation of microwaves with arbitrary polarization.
Design, simulation, and implementation of the resonators were performed using
standard printed circuit boards. The electric field distribution was mapped
using a scanning probe cavity perturbation technique. Electron spin resonance
using a standard marker was carried out in order to verify the polarization
control from linear to circular.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures, submitted to Appl. Phys. Let
Analysis of the temperature influence on Langmuir probe measurements on the basis of gyrofluid simulations
The influence of the temperature and its fluctuations on the ion saturation
current and the floating potential, which are typical quantities measured by
Langmuir probes in the turbulent edge region of fusion plasmas, is analysed by
global nonlinear gyrofluid simulations for two exemplary parameter regimes. The
numerical simulation facilitates a direct access to densities, temperatures and
the plasma potential at different radial positions around the separatrix. This
allows a comparison between raw data and the calculated ion saturation current
and floating potential within the simulation. Calculations of the
fluctuation-induced radial particle flux and its statistical properties reveal
significant differences to the actual values at all radial positions of the
simulation domain, if the floating potential and the temperature averaged
density inferred from the ion saturation current is used.Comment: Submitted to Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusio
Chiral corrections to baryon properties with composite pions
A calculational scheme is developed to evaluate chiral corrections to
properties of composite baryons with composite pions. The composite baryons and
pions are bound states derived from a microscopic chiral quark model. The model
is amenable to standard many-body techniques such as the BCS and RPA
formalisms. An effective chiral model involving only hadronic degrees of
freedom is derived from the macroscopic quark model by projection onto hadron
states. Chiral loops are calculated using the effective hadronic Hamiltonian. A
simple microscopic confining interaction is used to illustrate the derivation
of the pion-nucleon form factor and the calculation of pionic self-energy
corrections to the nucleon and Delta(1232) masses.Comment: 29 pages, Revtex, 4 ps figure
