چکیده

Mn-doped GaAs is studied with a real-space Hamiltonian on an fcc lattice that reproduces the valence bands of undoped GaAs. Large-scale Monte Carlo (MC) simulations on a Cray XT3, using up to a thousand nodes, were needed. Spin-orbit interaction and the random distribution of the Mn ions are considered. The hopping amplitudes are functions of the GaAs Luttinger parameters. At the realistic coupling J approximately 1.2 eV the MC Curie temperature and magnetization curves agree with experiments for x = 8.5% annealed samples. Mn-doped GaSb and GaP are also briefly discussed.

METAHEURISTIC-BASED SIZING AND TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION AND RELIABILITY ASSESSMENT OF SINGLE-LAYER LATTICE DOMES

Economy and safety are two important components in structural design process and stablishing a balance between them indeed results in improved structural performance specially in large-scale structures including space lattice domes. Topology optimization of geometrically nonlinear single-layer lamella, network, and geodesic lattice domes is implemented using enhanced colliding-bodies optimizati...

We make for the first time a large-scale Monte-Carlo simulation of a fer-romagnetic Heisenberg model with dipolar interactions on a two dimensional square lattice with open boundaries using an efficient new technique. We find that a phase transition occurs in the model and the ordered phase is characterized by a circular arrangement of the spins.

We define a fixed point action in two-dimensional lattice CP models. The fixed point action is a classical perfect lattice action, which is expected to show strongly reduced cutoff effects in numerical simulations. Furthermore, the action has scale-invariant instanton solutions, which enables us to define a correct topological charge without topological defects. Using a parametrization of the f...
