The phase diagram of the multi-dimensional Anderson localization via analytic determination of Lyapunov exponents
The method proposed by the present authors to deal analytically with the
problem of Anderson localization via disorder [J.Phys.: Condens. Matter {\bf
14} (2002) 13777] is generalized for higher spatial dimensions D. In this way
the generalized Lyapunov exponents for diagonal correlators of the wave
function, , can be calculated analytically and
exactly. This permits to determine the phase diagram of the system. For all
dimensions one finds intervals in the energy and the disorder where
extended and localized states coexist: the metal-insulator transition should
thus be interpreted as a first-order transition. The qualitative differences
permit to group the systems into two classes: low-dimensional systems (), where localized states are always exponentially localized and
high-dimensional systems (), where states with non-exponential
localization are also formed. The value of the upper critical dimension is
found to be for the Anderson localization problem; this value is also
characteristic of a related problem - percolation.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figures, to appear in Eur. Phys.J.
Reply to Comment on "Exact analytic solution for the generalized Lyapunov exponent of the 2-dimensional Anderson localization"
We reply to comments by P.Marko, L.Schweitzer and M.Weyrauch
[preceding paper] on our recent paper [J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 63, 13777
(2002)]. We demonstrate that our quite different viewpoints stem for the
different physical assumptions made prior to the choice of the mathematical
formalism. The authors of the Comment expect \emph{a priori} to see a single
thermodynamic phase while our approach is capable of detecting co-existence of
distinct pure phases. The limitations of the transfer matrix techniques for the
multi-dimensional Anderson localization problem are discussed.Comment: 4 pages, accepted for publication in J.Phys.: Condens. Mat
Self-consistent Green's function approaches
We present the fundamental techniques and working equations of many-body
Green's function theory for calculating ground state properties and the
spectral strength. Green's function methods closely relate to other polynomial
scaling approaches discussed in chapters 8 and 10. However, here we aim
directly at a global view of the many-fermion structure. We derive the working
equations for calculating many-body propagators, using both the Algebraic
Diagrammatic Construction technique and the self-consistent formalism at finite
temperature. Their implementation is discussed, as well as the inclusion of
three-nucleon interactions. The self-consistency feature is essential to
guarantee thermodynamic consistency. The pairing and neutron matter models
introduced in previous chapters are solved and compared with the other methods
in this book.Comment: 58 pages, 14 figures, Submitted to Lect. Notes Phys., "An advanced

A Halomethane thermochemical network from iPEPICO experiments and quantum chemical calculations
Internal energy selected halomethane cations CH3Cl+, CH2Cl2+, CHCl3+, CH3F+, CH2F2+, CHClF2+ and CBrClF2+ were prepared by vacuum ultraviolet photoionization, and their lowest energy dissociation channel studied using imaging photoelectron photoion coincidence spectroscopy (iPEPICO). This channel involves hydrogen atom loss for CH3F+, CH2F2+ and CH3Cl+, chlorine atom loss for CH2Cl2+, CHCl3+ and CHClF2+, and bromine atom loss for CBrClF2+. Accurate 0 K appearance energies, in conjunction with ab initio isodesmic and halogen exchange reaction energies, establish a thermochemical network, which is optimized to update and confirm the enthalpies of formation of the sample molecules and their dissociative photoionization products. The ground electronic states of CHCl3+, CHClF2+ and CBrClF2+ do not confirm to the deep well assumption, and the experimental breakdown curve deviates from the deep well model at low energies. Breakdown curve analysis of such shallow well systems supplies a satisfactorily succinct route to the adiabatic ionization energy of the parent molecule, particularly if the threshold photoelectron spectrum is not resolved and a purely computational route is unfeasible. The ionization energies have been found to be 11.47 ± 0.01 eV, 12.30 ± 0.02 eV and 11.23 ± 0.03 eV for CHCl3, CHClF2 and CBrClF2, respectively. The updated 0 K enthalpies of formation, ∆fHo0K(g) for the ions CH2F+, CHF2+, CHCl2+, CCl3+, CCl2F+ and CClF2+ have been derived to be 844.4 ± 2.1, 601.6 ± 2.7, 890.3 ± 2.2, 849.8 ± 3.2, 701.2 ± 3.3 and 552.2 ± 3.4 kJ mol–1, respectively. The ∆fHo0K(g) values for the neutrals CCl4, CBrClF2, CClF3, CCl2F2 and CCl3F and have been determined to be –94.0 ± 3.2, –446.6 ± 2.7, –702.1 ± 3.5, –487.8 ± 3.4 and –285.2 ± 3.2 kJ mol–1, respectively
