Single-Particle Excitations in Narrow Energy Bands

چکیده
Hubbard's model for studying correlation effects in systems with narrow energy bands is analyzed by means of a technique which allows the calculation of moments of the individual peaks in the spectral weight function for single-particle excitations. The analysis of the zeroth moments of the peaks shows that the total weight in the bands depends on the strength of the kinetic-energy term in the Hamiltonian even though the bands may be narrow and widely separated. This conclusion is illustrated and verified by an exact calculation for the case when there are only two lattice sites. Analysis of first and higher moments yields results for nonmagnetic or paramagnetic phases which are in qualitative agreement with Hubbard's improved solution. However, we find that (a) there occurs a spin-dependent shift in the band energies which has not been obtained by other treatments of the model and which energetically favors ferromagnetism, and (b) single-particle excitations are more heavily damped in antiferromagnetic than in isomorphic paramagnetic phases.

Electronic excitations of double-walled armchair carbon nanotubes
The low-frequency electronic excitations in double-walled armchair carbon nanotubes are studied within the random-phase approximation. The intertube atomic overlaps significantly affect the low-energy bands and thus enrich the low-frequency single-particle excitations and collective excitations. They induce more plasmon modes, reduce the plasmon strength, and change acoustic plasmons into optic...
متن کاملThe effect of collective spin-1 excitations on electronic spectra in high-Tc superconductors
We review recent experimental and theoretical results on the interaction between single-particle excitations and collective spin excitations in the superconducting state of high-Tc cuprates. We concentrate on the traces, that sharp features in the magnetic-excitation spectrum (measured by inelastic neutron scattering) imprint in the spectra of single-particle excitations (measured e.g. by ngle-...

Near-IR (NIR) emitting semiconducting polymer dots (Pdots) with ultrabright fluorescence have been prepared for specific cellular targeting. A series of π-conjugated polymers were synthesized to form water dispersible multicomponent Pdots by an ultrasonication-assisted co-precipitation method. By optimizing cascade energy transfer in Pdots, high-intensity NIR fluorescence (φ = 0.32) with tunabl...

Abstract – In this paper, the effect of applied electric field on the damage due to partial discharges activity into the surroundings dielectrics of a narrow channel encapsulated within the volume of a dielectric material is evaluated using a kinetic model based on Particle in Cell - Monte Carlo Collision (PIC-MCC) model. After application of an electric field across a dielectric material which...
متن کاملQuadrupole-collective states in a large single-j shell.
We discuss the ability of the generator coordinate method (GCM) to select collective states in microscopic calculations. The model studied is a single-j shell with hamiltonian containing the quadrupole-quadrupole interaction. Quadrupole collective excitations are constructed by means of the quadrupole single-particle operator. Lowest collective bands for j=31/2 and particle numbers N =4,6,8,10,...
