On the equivalence between stochastic baker's maps and two-dimensional spin systems

We show that there is a class of stochastic baker's transformations that is equivalent to the class of equilibrium solutions of two-dimensional spin systems with finite interaction. The construction is such that the equilibrium distribution of the spin lattice is identical to the invariant measure in the corresponding baker's transformation. We also find that the entropy of the spin system is up to a constant equal to the rate of entropy production in the corresponding stochastic baker's transformation. We illustrate the equivalence by deriving two stochastic baker's maps representing the Ising model at a temperature above and below the critical temperature, respectively. We calculate the invariant measure of the stochastic baker's transformation numerically. The equivalence is demonstrated by finding that the free energy in the baker system is in agreement with analytic results of the two-dimensional Ising model.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

Properties from relativistic coupled-cluster without truncation: hyperfine constants of 25Mg+^{25}{\rm Mg}^+, 43Ca+^{43}{\rm Ca}^+ , 87Sr+^{87}{\rm Sr}^+ and 137Ba+^{137}{\rm Ba}^+

We demonstrate an iterative scheme for coupled-cluster properties calculations without truncating the dressed properties operator. For validation, magnetic dipole hyperfine constants of alkaline Earth ions are calculated with relativistic coupled-cluster and role of electron correlation examined. Then, a detailed analysis of the higher order terms is carried out. Based on the results, we arrive at an optimal form of the dressed operator. Which we recommend for properties calculations with relativistic coupled-cluster theory.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figures, 5 table

Convergence of all-order many-body methods: coupled-cluster study for Li

We present and analyze results of the relativistic coupled-cluster calculation of energies, hyperfine constants, and dipole matrix elements for the $2s$, $2p_{1/2}$, and $2p_{3/2}$ states of Li atom. The calculations are complete through the fourth order of many-body perturbation theory for energies and through the fifth order for matrix elements and subsume certain chains of diagrams in all orders. A nearly complete many-body calculation allows us to draw conclusions on the convergence pattern of the coupled-cluster method. Our analysis suggests that the high-order many-body contributions to energies and matrix elements scale proportionally and provides a quantitative ground for semi-empirical fits of {\em ab inito} matrix elements to experimental energies.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

The Material City: Potential for Urban Development in Mapping Material Processes, Erosion and Obsolescence in Helsinki

Urban development hinges on the availability of free space. The planned growth of Helsinki as reflected in the General plan of 2016 relies on identifying areas for infill in the urban fabric. In built-up areas there is a tendency to let the processes of urban change take place instead of top-down planning. This change is therefore not managed, but piecemeal, resulting in a patchwork of ‘stamp’ plans directed by narrow private economic considerations.       The life-span of buildings varies according to their material composition – also the type of a building and its spatial configuration affect its vitality. These attributes and conditions play a part in how long a building can endure before confronting the need for radical changes, and can be aggregated from open-source data and modeled using historical referents as benchmarks. This information forms a layer of probabilities in the city, revealing dormant locations facing imminent change.                 By mapping the information of the material conditions on the topography of the city, we can identify potentials for development. Identifying these latent sites in the city and engaging proprietors and landowners would give new tools for the City to affect the change and renewal associated with turnover of the building stock

Fock space relativistic coupled-Cluster calculations of Two-Valence Atoms

We have developed an all particle Fock-space relativistic coupled-cluster method for two-valence atomic systems. We then describe a scheme to employ the coupled-cluster wave function to calculate atomic properties. Based on these developments we calculate the excitation energies, magnetic hyperfine constants and electric dipole matrix elements of Sr, Ba and Yb. Further more, we calculate the electric quadrupole HFS constants and the electric dipole matrix elements of Sr$^+$, Ba$^+$ and Yb$^+$. For these we use the one-valence coupled-cluster wave functions obtained as an intermediate in the two-valence calculations. We also calculate the magnetic dipole hyperfine constants of Yb$^+$.Comment: 23 pages, 12 figures, 10 tables typos are corrected and some minor modifications in some of the section

Relativistic coupled-cluster calculations of 20^{20}Ne, 40^{40}Ar, 84^{84}Kr and 129^{129}Xe: correlation energies and dipole polarizabilities

We have carried out a detailed and systematic study of the correlation energies of inert gas atoms Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe using relativistic many-body perturbation theory and relativistic coupled-cluster theory. In the relativistic coupled-cluster calculations, we implement perturbative triples and include these in the correlation energy calculations. We then calculate the dipole polarizability of the ground states using perturbed coupled-cluster theory.Comment: 10 figures, 6 tables, submitted to PR

Probing CP violation with the electric dipole moment of atomic mercury

The electric dipole moment of atomic $^{199}$Hg induced by the nuclear Schiff moment and tensor-pseudotensor electron-nucleus interactions has been calculated. For this, we have developed and employed a novel method based on the relativistic coupled-cluster theory. The results of our theoretical calculations combined with the latest experimental result of $^{199}$Hg electric dipole moment, provide new bounds on the T reversal or CP violation parameters $\theta_{\rm QCD}$, the tensor-pseudotensor coupling constant $C_T$ and $(\widetilde{d}_u - \widetilde{d}_d)$. This is the most accurate calculation of these parameters to date. We highlight the the crucial role of electron correlation effects in their interplay with the P,T violating interactions. Our results demonstrate substantial changes in the results of earlier calculations of these parameters which can be attributed to the more accurate inclusion of important correlation effects in the present work.Comment: 4 pages and 1 figur

Theoretical determination of lifetimes of metastable states in Sc III and Y III

Lifetimes of the first two metastable states in Sc^{2+} and Y^{2+} are determined using the relativistic coupled-cluster theory. There is a considerable interest in studying the electron correlation effects in these ions as though their electronic configurations are similar to the neutral alkali atoms, their structures are very different from the latter. We have made a comparative study of the correlation trends between the above doubly ionized systems with their corresponding neutral and singly ionized iso-electronic systems. The lifetimes of the excited states of these ions are very important in the field of astrophysics, especially for the study of post-main sequence evolution of the cool giant stars.Comment: 13 pages, 1 figure and 5 table

Relativistic Coupled-Cluster Theory of Atomic Parity Nonconservation: Application to 137^{137}Ba+^+

We report the result of our {\it ab initio} calculation of the $6s ^2S_{1/2} \to 5d ^2D_{3/2}$ parity nonconserving electric dipole transition amplitude in $^{137}\text{Ba}^+$ based on relativistic coupled-cluster theory. Considering single, double and partial triple excitations, we have achieved an accuracy of less than one percent. If the accuracy of our calculation can be matched by the proposed parity nonconservation experiment in Ba$^+$ for the above transition,then the combination of the two results would provide an independent non accelerator test of the Standard Model of particle physics.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, Submitted to PR

State-insensitive trapping of Rb atoms: linearly versus circularly polarized lights

We study the cancellation of differential ac Stark shifts in the 5s and 5p states of rubidium atom using the linearly and circularly polarized lights by calculating their dynamic polarizabilities. Matrix elements were calculated using a relativistic coupled-cluster method at the single, double and important valence triple excitations approximation including all possible non-linear correlation terms. Some of the important matrix elements were further optimized using the experimental results available for the lifetimes and static polarizabilities of atomic states. "Magic wavelengths" are determined from the differential Stark shifts and results for the linearly polarized light are compared with the previously available results. Possible scope of facilitating state-insensitive optical trapping schemes using the magic wavelengths for circularly polarized light are discussed. Using the optimized matrix elements, the lifetimes of the 4d and 6s states of this atom are ameliorated.Comment: 13 pages, 13 tables and 4 figure
