Progress in the development of an 88-mm bore 10 Tn3Sn dipole magnet
A 10 T, 2-layer cos(&thetas;)-dipole model magnet with an 88 mm clear bore utilizing an advanced powder-in-tube Nb3Sn conductor is being developed for the LHC. A dedicated conductor development program has resulted in a well performing Rutherford cable containing strands that uniquely exhibit both an overall current density of 600 A/mm2 @ 11 T and filaments with a diameter of 20 ¿m. The resistance between crossing strands amounts to 30-70 ¿¿ by insertion of a stainless steel core. After being exposed to a transverse pressure of 200 MPa identical cables show negligible permanent degradation of the critical current. The mechanical support structure is further optimized in order to reduce the peak stress in the mid-plane to below 130 MPa at full excitation and to control the pre-stress build-up during system assembly. Prior to the manufacturing of the final coils a dummy 2-layer pole is wound, heat-treated at 675°C and vacuum resin impregnated. This paper presents the current status of the magnet development program and highlights in particular the successful conductor developmen
Quantum phase transitions in the Kane-Mele-Hubbard model
We study the two-dimensional Kane-Mele-Hubbard model at half filling by means
of quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We present a refined phase boundary for the
quantum spin liquid. The topological insulator at finite Hubbard interaction
strength is adiabatically connected to the groundstate of the Kane-Mele model.
In the presence of spin-orbit coupling, magnetic order at large Hubbard U is
restricted to the transverse direction. The transition from the topological
band insulator to the antiferromagnetic Mott insulator is in the universality
class of the three-dimensional XY model. The numerical data suggest that the
spin liquid to topological insulator and spin liquid to Mott insulator
transitions are both continuous.Comment: 13 pages, 10 figures; final version; new Figs. 4(b) and 8(b
Field-Induced Magnetic Order in Quantum Spin Liquids
We study magnetic field-induced three-dimensional ordering transitions in
low-dimensional quantum spin liquids, such as weakly coupled, antiferromagnetic
spin-1/2 Heisenberg dimers and ladders. Using stochastic series expansion
quantum Monte Carlo simulations, thermodynamic response functions are obtained
down to ultra-low temperatures. We extract the critical scaling exponents which
dictate the power-law dependence of the transition temperature on the applied
magnetic field. These are compared with recent experiments on candidate
materials and with predictions for the Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons
obtained in mean-field theory.Comment: RevTex, 4 pages with 5 figure
Comment on "Novel Superfluidity in a Trapped Gas of Fermi Atoms with Repulsive Interaction Loaded on an Optical Lattice"
In a recent letter Machida et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 200402 (2004)]
concluded that in a trapped gas of fermions with repulsive interactions a
superfluid phase appears around the Mott-insulator at the center of the trap.
They base their conclusion on a negative binding energy, and a large weight for
a singlet formed by particles located at opposite sides of the Mott-insulator.
We show here that the observed effects are not related to superfluidity.Comment: Revtex file, 1 page, 1 figure, published versio
Universal scaling at field-induced magnetic phase transitions
We study field-induced magnetic order in cubic lattices of dimers with
antiferromagnetic Heisenberg interactions. The thermal critical exponents at
the quantum phase transition from a spin liquid to a magnetically ordered phase
are determined from Stochastic Series Expansion Quantum Monte Carlo
simulations. These exponents are independent of the interdimer coupling ratios,
and converge to the value obtained by considering the transition as a
Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons, alpha_(BEC) = 1.5. The scaling results
are of direct relevance to the spin-dimer systems TlCuCl_3 and KCuCl_3, and
explain the broad range of exponents reported for field-induced ordering
transitions.Comment: 4 pages, 4 eps-figure
Random Bond Effect in the Quantum Spin System (TlK)CuCl
The effect of exchange bond randomness on the ground state and the
field-induced magnetic ordering was investigated through magnetization
measurements in the spin-1/2 mixed quantum spin system
(TlK)CuCl for . Both parent compounds TlCuCl and
KCuCl are coupled spin dimer systems, which have the singlet ground state
with excitation gaps K and 31 K, respectively. Due to
bond randomness, the singlet ground state turns into the magnetic state with
finite susceptibility, nevertheless, the excitation gap remains. Field-induced
magnetic ordering, which can be described by the Bose condensation of excited
triplets, magnons, was observed as in the parent systems. The phase transition
temperature is suppressed by the bond randomness. This behavior may be
attributed to the localization effect.Comment: 19 pages, 7 figures, 12 eps files, revtex, will appear in PR
Uniaxial pressure dependencies of the phase boundary of TlCuCl_3
We present a thermal expansion and magnetostriction study of TlCuCl_3, which
shows a magnetic-field induced transition from a spin gap phase to a Neel
ordered phase. Using Ehrenfest relations we derive huge and strongly
anisotropic uniaxial pressure dependencies of the respective phase boundary,
e.g. the transition field changes by about GPa depending on the
direction of uniaxial pressure.Comment: 2 pages, e figures; presented at SCES200
Unpacking the difference between digital transformation and IT-enabled organizational transformation
Although digital transformation offers a number of opportunities for todayâs organizations, information systems scholars and practitioners struggle to grasp what digital transformation really is, particularly in terms of how it differs from the well-established concept of information technology (IT)-enabled organizational transformation. By integrating literature from organization science and information systems research with two longitudinal case studiesâone on digital transformation, the other on IT-enabled organizational transformationâwe develop an empirically grounded conceptualization that sets these two phenomena apart. We find that there are two distinctive differences: (1) digital transformation activities leverage digital technology in (re)defining an organizationâs value proposition, while IT-enabled organizational transformation activities leverage digital technology in supporting the value proposition, and (2) digital transformation involves the emergence of a new organizational identity, whereas IT-enabled organizational transformation involves the enhancement of an existing organizational identity. We synthesize these arguments in a process model to distinguish the different types of transformations and propose directions for future research
