Exact solutions for equilibrium configurations of charged conducting liquid jets
A wide class of exact solutions is obtained for the problem of finding the
equilibrium configurations of charged jets of a conducting liquid; these
configurations correspond to the finite-amplitude azimuthal deformations of the
surface of a round jet. A critical value of the linear electric charge density
is determined, for which the jet surface becomes self-intersecting, and the jet
splits into two. It exceeds the density value required for the excitation of
the linear azimuthal instability of the round jet. Hence, there exists a range
of linear charge density values, where our solutions may be stable with respect
to small azimuthal perturbations.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures, to appear in Physical Review
A Green's function decoupling scheme for the Edwards fermion-boson model
Holes in a Mott insulator are represented by spinless fermions in the
fermion-boson model introduced by Edwards. Although the physically interesting
regime is for low to moderate fermion density the model has interesting
properties over the whole density range. It has previously been studied at
half-filling in the one-dimensional (1D) case by numerical methods, in
particular exact diagonalization and density matrix renormalization group
(DMRG). In the present study the one-particle Green's function is calculated
analytically by means of a decoupling scheme for the equations of motion, valid
for arbitrary density in 1D, 2D and 3D with fairly large boson energy and zero
boson relaxation parameter. The Green's function is used to compute some ground
state properties, and the one-fermion spectral function, for fermion densities
n=0.1, 0.5 and 0.9 in the 1D case. The results are generally in good agreement
with numerical results obtained by DMRG and dynamical DMRG and new light is
shed on the nature of the ground state at different fillings. The Green's
function approximation is sufficiently successful in 1D to justify future
application to the 2D and 3D cases.Comment: 19 pages, 7 figures, final version with updated reference
Hydrodynamic Modes in a Trapped Strongly Interacting Fermi Gases of Atoms
The zero-temperature properties of a dilute two-component Fermi gas in the
BCS-BEC crossover are investigated. On the basis of a generalization of the
variational Schwinger method, we construct approximate semi-analytical formulae
for collective frequencies of the radial and the axial breathing modes of the
Fermi gas under harmonic confinement in the framework of the hydrodynamic
theory. It is shown that the method gives nearly exact solutions.Comment: 11 page
Tuning the Non-local Spin-Spin Interaction between Quantum Dots with a Magnetic Field
We describe a device where the non-local spin-spin interaction between two
quantum dots can be turned on and off and even changed sign with a very small
magnetic field. The setup consists of two quantum dots at the edge of two
two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs). The quantum dots' spins are coupled
through a RKKY-like interaction mediated by the electrons in the 2DEGs. A small
magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the 2DEG is used as a tuning
parameter. When the cyclotron radius is commensurate with the interdot
distance, the spin-spin interaction is amplified by a few orders of magnitude.
The sign of the interaction is controlled by finely tuning the magnetic field.
Our setup allows for several dots to be coupled in a linear arrangement and it
is not restricted to nearest-neighbors interaction.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures. Published versio
An expression for stationary distribution in nonequilibrium steady state
We study the nonequilibrium steady state realized in a general stochastic
system attached to multiple heat baths and/or driven by an external force.
Starting from the detailed fluctuation theorem we derive concise and suggestive
expressions for the corresponding stationary distribution which are correct up
to the second order in thermodynamic forces. The probability of a microstate
is proportional to where
is the excess entropy change.
Here is the difference between two kinds of conditioned
path ensemble averages of excess heat transfer from the -th heat bath whose
inverse temperature is . Our expression may be verified experimentally
in nonequilibrium states realized, for example, in mesoscopic systems.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
Imaginary-time formulation of steady-state nonequilibrium: application to strongly correlated transport
We extend the imaginary-time formulation of the equilibrium quantum many-body
theory to steady-state nonequilibrium with an application to strongly
correlated transport. By introducing Matsubara voltage, we keep the finite
chemical potential shifts in the Fermi-Dirac function, in agreement with the
Keldysh formulation. The formulation is applied to strongly correlated
transport in the Kondo regime using the quantum Monte Carlo method.Comment: 5 pages 3 figure
Calculation of shear viscosity using Green-Kubo relations within a parton cascade
The shear viscosity of a gluon gas is calculated using the Green-Kubo
relation. Time correlations of the energy-momentum tensor in thermal
equilibrium are extracted from microscopic simulations using a parton cascade
solving various Boltzmann collision processes. We find that the pQCD based
gluon bremsstrahlung described by Gunion-Bertsch processes significantly lowers
the shear viscosity by a factor of 3-8 compared to elastic scatterings. The
shear viscosity scales with the coupling as 1/(alpha_s^2\log(1/alpha_s)). For a
constant coupling constant the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio has no
dependence on temperature. Replacing the pQCD-based collision angle
distribution of binary scatterings by an isotropic form decreases the shear
viscosity by a factor of 3.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figure
Statistical Description of Hydrodynamic Processes in Ionic Melts with taking into account Polarization Effects
Statistical description of hydrodynamic processes for ionic melts is proposed
with taking into account polarization effects caused by the deformation of
external ionic shells. This description is carried out by means of the Zubarev
nonequilibrium statistical operator method, appropriate for investigations of
both strong and weak nonequilibrium processes. The nonequilibrium statistical
operator and the generalized hydrodynamic equations that take into account
polarization processes are received for ionic-polarization model of ionic
molten salts when the nonequilibrium averaged values of densities of ions
number, their momentum, dipole momentum and total energy are chosen for the
reduced description parameters. A spectrum of collective excitations is
investigated within the viscoelastic approximation for ion-polarization model
of ionic melts.Comment: 24 pages, RevTex4.1-format, no figure
The influence of local field corrections on Thomson scattering in non-ideal two-component plasmas
Thomson scattering in non-ideal (collision-dominated) two-component plasmas
is calculated accounting for electron-ion collisions as well as
electron-electron correlations. This is achieved by using a novel interpolation
scheme for the electron-electron response function generalizing the traditional
Mermin approach. Also, ions are treated as randomly distributed inert
scattering centers. The collision frequency is taken as a dynamic and complex
quantity and is calculated from a microscopic quantum-statistical approach.
Implications due to different approximations for the electron-electron
correlation, i.e. different forms of the OCP local field correction, are
discussed
Analysis of Methods for Regulating the Activity of Pawnshops in the Field of AML/CFT
The increasing number of pawnshops working in the shadow economy has been an important problem in Russia for several years. The paper investigates the dynamics of the number of registered pawnshops, the reasons for the toughening of their AML/CFT regulation and analyzes the further development of the industry. Based on the analyzed data, the forecast of the number of registered pawnshops up to 2020 is compiled using the consolidation of the moving average methods and the analytical trend alignment, as well as the expert evaluation method. The main methods of pawnshop activity regulation have been analyzed and an expert evaluation of the effectiveness of their implementation has been carried out. The results obtained during the study allowed the authors to formulate a hypotheses on increasing the effectiveness of the methods under consideration, as well as to offer their methods for regulating the activity of pawnshops in the field of AML/CFT.
