    Kondo and Dicke effect in quantum-dots side coupled to a quantum wire

    Full text link
    Electron tunneling through quantum-dots side coupled to a quantum wire, in equilibrium and nonequilibrium Kondo regime, is studied. The mean-field finite-UU slave-boson formalism is used to obtain the solution of the problem. We have found that the transmission spectrum shows a structure with two anti-resonances localized at the renormalized energies of the quantum dots. The DOS of the system shows that when the Kondo correlations are dominant there are two Kondo regimes with its own Kondo temperature. The above behavior of the DOS can be explained by quantum interference in the transmission through the two different resonance states of the quantum dots coupled to common leads. This result is analogous to the Dicke effect in optics. We investigate the many body Kondo states as a function of the parameters of the system.Comment: 5 figures. To appear in Phys. Rev.

    Hemodynamic phenotypes and its association with blood pressure changes at continuous positive airway pressure therapy in obstructive sleep apnoea hypertensive patients

    Background. The goal of our study was to define the hemodynamic phenotypes in hypertensive patients with newly diagnosed obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) using the individual modelling of hemodynamics derived from ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), a method proposed by our group previously, and to assess its validity in blood pressure alterations secondary to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Material and methods. Thirty-three hypertensive patients with moderate-to-severe OSA were investigated. All patients underwent ABPM on two occasions: at baseline and after one week CPAP. The sets of BP indexes at first ABPM were used for individual modelling to define the hemodynamic phenotype (class) based on regression analyses; specifically, the phenotypes were defined for daytime, nighttime and for 24 hours. The CPAP therapy efficacy was predefined as improvement in BP nighttime decrease for additional 5% as compared to baseline ABPM. With reference to this criterion, patients were further classified as responders (who achieved this target), and non-responders. Results. Only 21.2% of hypertensive patients with OSA had optimal hemodynamic phenotype (class H2), despite comprehensive antihypertensive therapy; most of the other patients were classified either as harmonic type (class H3; 39.4%), or of diastolic dysfunctional type (class D3; 15.2%). In the daytime period 18.2% of patients with OSA were classified as D1-class, which is associated with high risk of acute hypotensive episodes. Responders were more frequently characterized by phenotype H3 (daytime) vs. nonresponders: 53.3% and 5.6% respectively; P < 0.05. At nighttime non-responders were more likely to transform the different baseline classes into H3 and D2; P < 0.05 vs. responders. Conclusion. Our study suggest utility of newly developed modelling based on hemodynamic BP indexes in the prediction of BP alterations secondary to CPAP in OSA hypertensive patients

    Towards the All-Loop Worldsheet S Matrix for AdS3 × S3 × T4

    Get PDF
    We obtain the all-loop worldsheet S matrix for fundamental excitations on AdS3 × S3 × T4 by studying the off-shell symmetry algebra of the superspace action in light cone gauge. The massless modes, unaccounted for in earlier works, are automatically included in our treatment. Their exact dispersion relation is found to be nonrelativistic, of giant-magnon form, and their scattering is naturally well defined. This opens the way to a complete investigation of AdS3/CFT2 integrability

    Entanglement and transport through correlated quantum dot

    Full text link
    We study quantum entanglement in a single-level quantum dot in the linear-response regime. The results show, that the maximal quantum value of the conductance 2e^2/h not always match the maximal entanglement. The pairwise entanglement between the quantum dot and the nearest atom of the lead is also analyzed by utilizing the Wootters formula for charge and spin degrees of freedom separately. The coexistence of zero concurrence and the maximal conductance is observed for low values of the dot-lead hybridization. Moreover, the pairwise concurrence vanish simultaneously for charge and spin degrees of freedom, when the Kondo resonance is present in the system. The values of a Kondo temperature, corresponding to the zero-concurrence boundary, are also provided.Comment: Presented on the International Conference "Nanoelectronics '06", 7-8 January 2006, Lancaster, U

    Landau-Lifshitz sigma-models, fermions and the AdS/CFT correspondence

    Get PDF
    We define Landau-Lifshitz sigma models on general coset space G/HG/H, with HH a maximal stability sub-group of GG. These are non-relativistic models that have GG-valued N\"other charges, local HH invariance and are classically integrable. Using this definition, we construct the PSU(2,24)/PS(U(22)2)PSU(2,2|4)/PS(U(2|2)^2) Landau-Lifshitz sigma-model. This sigma model describes the thermodynamic limit of the spin-chain Hamiltonian obtained from the complete one-loop dilatation operator of the N=4 super Yang-Mills (SYM) theory. In the second part of the paper, we identify a number of consistent truncations of the Type IIB Green-Schwarz action on AdS5×S5AdS_5\times S^5 whose field content consists of two real bosons and 4,8 or 16 real fermions. We show that κ\kappa-symmetry acts trivially in these sub-sectors. In the context of the large spin limit of the AdS/CFT correspondence, we map the Lagrangians of these sub-sectors to corresponding truncations of the PSU(2,24)/PS(U(22)2)PSU(2,2|4)/PS(U(2|2)^2) Landau-Lifshitz sigma-model.Comment: 42 page

    More on integrable structures of superstrings in AdS(4) x CP(3) and AdS(2) x S(2) x T(6) superbackgrounds

    In this paper we continue the study, initiated in arXiv:1009.3498 and arXiv:1104.1793, of the classical integrability of Green-Schwarz superstrings in AdS(4) x CP(3) and AdS(2) x S(2) x T(6) superbackgrounds whose spectrum contains non-supercoset worldsheet degrees of freedom corresponding to broken supersymmetries in the bulk. We derive an explicit expression, to all orders in the coset fermions and to second order in the non-coset fermions, which extends the supercoset Lax connection in these backgrounds with terms depending on the non-coset fermions. An important property of the obtained form of the Lax connection is that it is invariant under Z_4-transformations of the superisometry generators and the spectral parameter. This demonstrates that the contribution of the non-coset fermions does not spoil the Z_4-symmetry of the super-coset Lax connection which is of crucial importance for the application of Bethe-ansatz techniques. The expressions describing the AdS(4) x CP(3) and AdS(2) x S(2) x T(6) superstring sigma--models and their Lax connections have a very similar form. This is because their amount of target-space supersymmetries complement each other to 32=24+8, the maximal number of 10d type II supersymmetries. As a byproduct, this similarity has allowed us to obtain the form of the geometry of the complete type IIA AdS(2) x S(2) x T(6) superspace to all orders in the coset fermions and to the second order in the non-coset ones.Comment: 28 pages; v2: References adde

    Dirichlet Branes on Orientifolds

    We consider the classification of BPS and non-BPS D-branes in orientifold models. In particular we construct all stable BPS and non-BPS D-branes in the Gimon-Polchinski (GP) and Dabholkar-Park-Blum-Zaffaroni (DPBZ) orientifolds and determine their stability regions in moduli space as well as decay products. We find several kinds of integrally and torsion charged non-BPS D-branes. Certain of these are found to have projective representations of the orientifold ×\times GSO group on the Chan-Paton factors. It is found that the GP orientifold is not described by equivariant orthogonal K-theory as may have been at first expected. Instead a twisted version of this K-theory is expected to be relevant.Comment: 33 pages, LaTeX, 5 figures. v2 typos corrected, references included, (4,s)-branes re-examine

    Kondo effect in side coupled double quantum-dot molecule

    Full text link
    Electron tunneling through a double quantum dot molecule side attached to a quantum wire, in the Kondo regime, is studied. The mean-field finite-U slave-boson formalism is used to obtain the solution of the problem. We found conductance cancelations when the molecular energies of the side attached double quantum-dot cross the Fermi energy. We investigate the many body molecular Kondo states as a function of the parameters of the system.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figures. Submitted to Solid State Com
