Calculated iron x-ray absorption and XMCD of spin-crossover Fe(phen)(NCS) molecule adsorbed on Cu(001) surface
The PAW method has been used to compute the iron L edges of x-ray
absorption spectra (XAS) and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) of the
spin-crossover Fe(phen)(NCS) molecule when adsorbed on Cu(001)
surface and in the gas phase, for both the high spin (HS) and low spin (LS)
states. It is found that the calculated XAS and XMCD with the static core hole
or the Slater transition state half hole are in less good agreement with
experiment than those using the so called initial state. This disagreement is
due to the reduction of the iron spin magnetic moment caused by the static
screening of the core hole by the photo-electron. The L XAS formula is
found to be directly related to the unoccupied density of states (DOS),
and hence the symmetry broken and the iron DOS are used to
explain the XAS and XMCD results. It is demonstrated that the dependence of the
HS XMCD on the direction of incident x-ray circularly polarized light with
respect to the magnetization direction can be used to determine the iron
octahedron deformation, while the XMCD for various magnetization directions is
directly related to the anisotropy of the orbital magnetic moment and the
magneto-crystalline energy. It is also shown that the magnetic dipole moment
is very large due to the strong distortion of the iron octahedron and is
necessary for an accurate determination of the sum rule computed spin magnetic
moment.Comment: 39 pages, 5 figure
Determination of quantum symmetries for higher ADE systems from the modular T matrix
We show that the Ocneanu algebra of quantum symmetries, for an ADE diagram
(or for higher Coxeter-Dynkin systems, like the Di Francesco - Zuber system)
is, in most cases, deduced from the structure of the modular T matrix in the A
series. We recover in this way the (known) quantum symmetries of su(2) diagrams
and illustrate our method by studying those associated with the three genuine
exceptional diagrams of type su(3), namely E5, E9 and E21. This also provides
the shortest way to the determination of twisted partition functions in
boundary conformal field theory with defect lines.Comment: 30 pages, 16 figures. Several misprints have been corrected. We added
several references and the appendix has been enlarged (one section on
essential paths and one section devoted to open problems). This article will
appear in the Journal of Mathematical Physic
Evidence for the coexistence of Dirac and massive carriers in a-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 under hydrostatic pressure
Transport measurements were performed on the organic layered compound \aI3
under hydrostatic pressure. The carrier types, densities and mobilities are
determined from the magneto-conductance of \aI3 . While evidence of
high-mobility massless Dirac carriers has already been given, we report here,
their coexistence with low-mobility massive holes. This coexistence seems
robust as it has been found up to the highest studied pressure. Our results are
in agreement with recent DFT calculations of the band structure of this system
under hydrostatic pressure. A comparison with graphene Dirac carriers has also
been done.Comment: 5 pages 5 figure
Ashkin-Teller universality in a quantum double model of Ising anyons
We study a quantum double model whose degrees of freedom are Ising anyons.
The terms of the Hamiltonian of this system give rise to a competition between
single and double topologies. By studying the energy spectra of the Hamiltonian
at different values of the coupling constants, we find extended gapless regions
which include a large number of critical points described by conformal field
theories with central charge c=1. These theories are part of the Z_2 orbifold
of the bosonic theory compactified on a circle. We observe that the Hilbert
space of our anyonic model can be associated with extended Dynkin diagrams of
affine Lie algebras which yields exact solutions at some critical points. In
certain special regimes, our model corresponds to the Hamiltonian limit of the
Ashkin-Teller model, and hence integrability over a wide range of coupling
parameters is established.Comment: 11 pages, minor revision
The Blob Algebra and the Periodic Temperley-Lieb Algebra
We determine the structure of two variations on the Temperley-Lieb algebra,
both used for dealing with special kinds of boundary conditions in statistical
mechanics models.
The first is a new algebra, the `blob' algebra (the reason for the name will
become obvious shortly!). We determine both the generic and all the exceptional
structures for this two parameter algebra. The second is the periodic
Temperley-Lieb algebra. The generic structure and part of the exceptional
structure of this algebra have already been studied. Here we complete the
analysis, using results from the study of the blob algebra.Comment: 12 page
Superconductivity in TTF[Ni(dmit)2]2 films
We report on the observation of a superconducting transition in a fiber-like film of the TTF[Ni(dmit)2]2 phase electrodeposited on silicon substrates. Superconductivity is evidenced by a broad drop of the resistance below 0.8K under the application of a hydrostatic pressure of 7.7 kbar. Zero resistance is not reached due to the contribution of inter-fiber resistance. Superconductivity is confirmed by the application of a magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the film. The critical field determined on the film is in agreement with that obtained in bulk single crystals
The BCS theory of q-deformed nucleon pairs - qBCS
We construct a coherent state of q-deformed zero coupled nucleon pairs
distributed in several single-particle orbits. Using a variational approach,
the set of equations of qBCS theory, to be solved self consistently for
occupation probabilities, gap parameter Delta, and the chemical potential
lambda, is obtained. Results for valence nucleons in nuclear degenerate sdg
major shell show that the strongly coupled zero angular momentum nucleon pairs
can be substituted by weakly coupled q-deformed zero angular momentum nucleon
pairs. A study of Sn isotopes reveals a well defined universe of (G, q) values,
for which qBCS converges. While the qBCS and BCS show similar results for Gap
parameter Delta in Sn isotopes, the ground state energies are lower in qBCS.
The pairing correlations in N nucleon system, increase with increasing q (for q
real).Comment: 8 pages, REVTEX, 3 eps figure
Boundary conformal field theories and loop models
We propose a systematic method to extract conformal loop models for rational
conformal field theories (CFT). Method is based on defining an ADE model for
boundary primary operators by using the fusion matrices of these operators as
adjacency matrices. These loop models respect the conformal boundary
conditions. We discuss the loop models that can be extracted by this method for
minimal CFTs and then we will give dilute O(n) loop models on the square
lattice as examples for these loop models. We give also some proposals for WZW
SU(2) models.Comment: 23 Pages, major changes! title change
Quantum spin chains of Temperley-Lieb type: periodic boundary conditions, spectral multiplicities and finite temperature
We determine the spectra of a class of quantum spin chains of Temperley-Lieb
type by utilizing the concept of Temperley-Lieb equivalence with the S=1/2 XXZ
chain as a reference system. We consider open boundary conditions and in
particular periodic boundary conditions. For both types of boundaries the
identification with XXZ spectra is performed within isomorphic representations
of the underlying Temperley-Lieb algebra. For open boundaries the spectra of
these models differ from the spectrum of the associated XXZ chain only in the
multiplicities of the eigenvalues. The periodic case is rather different. Here
we show how the spectrum is obtained sector-wise from the spectra of globally
twisted XXZ chains. As a spin-off, we obtain a compact formula for the
degeneracy of the momentum operator eigenvalues. Our representation theoretical
results allow for the study of the thermodynamics by establishing a
TL-equivalence at finite temperature and finite field.Comment: 29 pages, LaTeX, two references added, redundant figures remove
