Magnetoresistance Devices Based on Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes

We demonstrate the physical principles for the construction of a nanometer sized magnetoresistance device based on the Aharonov-Bohm effect. The proposed device is made of a short single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) placed on a substrate and coupled to a tip. We consider conductance due to motion of electrons along the circumference of the tube (as opposed to motion parallel to its axis). We find that the circumference conductance is sensitive to magnetic fields threading the SWCNT due to the Aharonov-Bohm effect, and show that by retracting the tip, so that its coupling to the SWCNT is reduced, very high sensitivity to the threading magnetic field develops. This is due to the formation of a narrow resonance through which the tunneling current flows. Using a bias potential the resonance can be shifted to low magnetic fields, allowing the control of conductance with magnetic fields of the order of 1 Tesla.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

Analytical Continuation Approaches to Electronic Transport: The Resonant Level Model

The analytical continuation average spectrum method (ASM) and maximum entropy (MaxEnt) method are applied to the dynamic response of a noninteracting resonant level model within the framework of the Kubo formula for electric conductivity. The frequency dependent conductivity is inferred from the imaginary time current-current correlation function for a wide range of temperatures, gate voltages and spectral densities representing the leads, and compared with exact results. We find that the MaxEnt provides more accurate results compared to the ASM over the full spectral range.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure

Pertumbuhan Dan Produksi Kacang Bogor (Vigna Subterranea (L.) Dengan Pemberian Pupuk P Dan Arang Sekam Padi

Pemberian pupuk anorganik dan organik dapat menyediakan unsur hara yang dibutuhkan oleh tanaman kacang bogor seperti unsur hara P. Sebagian fosfor di dalam tanah umumnya tidak tersedia untuk tanaman. Salah satu bahan organik yang mampu melepaskan unsur hara P adalah arang sekam padi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui respons pertumbuhan dan produksi kacang bogor terhadap pemberian pupuk P dan arang sekam padi. Penelitian dilaksanakan di lahan Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Sumatera pada Juli – Oktober 2014. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) faktorial dengan 2 faktor dan 3 ulangan. Faktor pertama yaitu pemberian pupuk P dengan 4 taraf (0; 30; 60 dan 90 kg SP-36/ha) dan faktor kedua yaitu komposisi top soil dan arang sekam padi dengan 4 taraf (1:0; 1:1; 1:2 dan 2:1). Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan menggunakan sidik ragam dan dilanjutkan dengan uji jarak berganda Duncan. Peubah amatan yaitu jumlah cabang, umur berbunga, bobot polong, dan bobot biji. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa pemberian pupuk P berpengaruh dalam meningkatkan jumlah cabang, umur berbunga, bobot polong dan bobot biji. Pemberian arang sekam padi meningkatkan jumlah cabang Interaksi antara pemberian pupuk P dan arang sekam padi berpengaruh tidak nyata terhadap semua peubah amatan

Stochastic Resolution of Identity for Real-Time Second-Order Green's Function: Ionization Potential and Quasi-Particle Spectrum.

We develop a stochastic resolution of identity approach to the real-time second-order Green's function (real-time sRI-GF2) theory, extending our recent work for imaginary-time Matsubara Green's function [ Takeshita et al. J. Chem. Phys. 2019 , 151 , 044114 ]. The approach provides a framework to obtain the quasi-particle spectra across a wide range of frequencies and predicts ionization potentials and electron affinities. To assess the accuracy of the real-time sRI-GF2, we study a series of molecules and compare our results to experiments as well as to a many-body perturbation approach based on the GW approximation, where we find that the real-time sRI-GF2 is as accurate as self-consistent GW. The stochastic formulation reduces the formal computatinal scaling from O(Ne5) down to O(Ne3) where Ne is the number of electrons. This is illustrated for a chain of hydrogen dimers, where we observe a slightly lower than cubic scaling for systems containing up to Ne ≈ 1000 electrons
