Mechanism of magnetism in stacked nanographite: Theoretical study
Nanographite systems, where graphene sheets of the orders of the nanometer
size are stacked, show novel magnetic properties, such as, spin-glass like
behaviors and the change of ESR line widths in the course of gas adsorptions.
We theoretically investigate stacking effects in the zigzag nanographite sheets
by using a tight binding model with the Hubbard-like onsite interactions. We
find a remarkable difference in the magnetic properties between the simple A-A
and A-B type stackings. For the simple stacking, there are not magnetic
solutions. For the A-B stacking, we find antiferromagnetic solutions for strong
onsite repulsions. The local magnetic moments tend to exist at the edge sites
in each layer due to the large amplitude of wavefunctions at these sites.
Relations with experiments are discussed.Comment: PACS numbers: 75.30.-m, 75.70.Cn, 75.10.Lp, 75.40.Mg; E-mail:

Grothendieck rings of o-minimal expansions of ordered abelian groups
We will calculate completely the Grothendieck rings, in the sense of first
order logic, of o-minimal expansions of ordered abelian groups by introducing
the notion of the bounded Euler characteristic.Comment: to appear J. Algebr
Non-equivalence between Heisenberg XXZ spin chain and Thirring model
The Bethe ansatz equations for the spin 1/2 Heisenberg XXZ spin chain are
numerically solved, and the energy eigenvalues are determined for the
anti-ferromagnetic case. We examine the relation between the XXZ spin chain and
the Thirring model, and show that the spectrum of the XXZ spin chain is
different from that of the regularized Thirring model.Comment: 10 pages. 2figure
A Nomographic Methodology for Use in Performance Trade-Off Studies of Parabolic Dish Solar Power Modules
A simple graphical method was developed to undertake technical design trade-off studies for individual parabolic dish models comprising a two-axis tracking parabolic dish with a cavity receiver and power conversion assembly at the focal point. The results of these technical studies are then used in performing the techno-economic analyses required for determining appropriate subsystem sizing. Selected graphs that characterize the performance of subsystems within the module were arranged in the form of a nomogram that would enable an investigator to carry out several design trade-off studies. Key performance parameters encompassed in the nomogram include receiver losses, intercept factor, engine rating, and engine efficiency. Design and operation parameters such as concentrator size, receiver type (open or windowed aperture), receiver aperture size, operating temperature of the receiver and engine, engine partial load characteristics, concentrator slope error, and the type of reflector surface, are also included in the graphical solution. Cost considerations are not included
Computer simulation of a space SAR using a range-sequential processor for soil moisture mapping
The ability of a spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to detect soil moisture was evaluated by means of a computer simulation technique. The computer simulation package includes coherent processing of the SAR data using a range-sequential processor, which can be set up through hardware implementations, thereby reducing the amount of telemetry involved. With such a processing approach, it is possible to monitor the earth's surface on a continuous basis, since data storage requirements can be easily met through the use of currently available technology. The Development of the simulation package is described, followed by an examination of the application of the technique to actual environments. The results indicate that in estimating soil moisture content with a four-look processor, the difference between the assumed and estimated values of soil moisture is within + or - 20% of field capacity for 62% of the pixels for agricultural terrain and for 53% of the pixels for hilly terrain. The estimation accuracy for soil moisture may be improved by reducing the effect of fading through non-coherent averaging
EDM operator free from Schiff's theorem
We present generalized Schiff's transformation on electric dipole moments
(EDM) in quantum field theory. By the unitary transformation, the time and
parity violating interaction is transformed into a new form, but its nonrelativistic
reduction has a unique form, which is free from Schiff's theorem. The
relativistic corrections to the new EDM operator turn out to be a small
increase to the EDM as given by with .
Therefore, the calculation of the EDM with nonrelativistic Hartree-Fock wave
functions presents the most conservative but reliable estimation for the
enhancement factor of the EDM in atoms.Comment: 23 pages, Prog. Theor. Phys. in pres
Synchrotron X-ray diffraction study of a charge stripe order in 1/8-doped LaBaSrCuO
Lattice distortions associated with charge stripe order in 1/8 hole-doped
LaBaSrCuO are studied using synchrotron X-ray
diffraction for and . The propagation wave vector and charge
order correlation lengths are determined with a high accuracy, revealing that
the oblique charge stripes in orthorhombic crystal are more
disordered than the aligned stripes in tetragonal crystal. The twofold
periodicity of lattice modulations along the c-axis is explained by long-range
Coulomb interactions between holes on neighboring CuO planes.Comment: 4pages, 4figures, Submitted to PR
Boundary migration and disappearance of voids in Alpha-Al2O3 at 2000 deg C
A series of photographs taken with Osaka University's high temperature 3MV electron microscope of alpha-A1(z)O(3) at 2000 C is presented. The dynamic study shows grain boundary migration in progress and demonstrates that disappearance of voids is controlled by boundary migration
