From configuration interaction (CI) ab initio calculations, we derive an effective two-orbital extended Hubbard model based on the gerade (g) and ungerade (u) molecular orbitals (MOs) of the charge-transfer molecular conductor (TTM-TTP)I(3) and the single-component molecular conductor [Au(tmdt)(2)]. First, by focusing on the isolated molecule, we determine the parameters for the model Hamiltoni...

Neuronal oscillations exist across a broad frequency spectrum, and are thought to provide a mechanism of interaction between spatially separated brain regions. Since ongoing mental activity necessitates the simultaneous formation of multiple networks, it seems likely that the brain employs interactions within multiple frequency bands, as well as cross-frequency coupling, to support such network...

The current study investigated the effect of monotonous driving on inter-hemispheric electroencephalography (EEG) coherence. Twenty-four non-professional drivers were recruited to perform a fatigue instigating monotonous driving task while 30 channels of EEG were simultaneously recorded. The EEG recordings were then divided into 5 equal sections over the entire driving period for analysis. Inte...

in this paper, a photonic crystal waveguide with point defects and lattice constant perturbations of +5%, -5% are being investigated. firstly waveguide structures with constant and specific parameters are being studied and photonic band gap diagrams for te/tm modes are depicted; then pulse propagation in the frequencies available in the band gap are shown. after that, effects of parameters like...

Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) is one of the most common symptoms of right hemisphere damage; its classical symptom is that patients fail to respond to information on their left side. It has been postulated that disturbance of 2 separate attentional networks relates to the occurrence of USN. However, little is known about the underlying mechanism and neuronal substrates. In this study, we mea...

The k·p theory allows to describe the band structure analytically. After the pioneering work by Luttinger and Kohn [1] the six-band k·p method has become widely used to model the valence band in silicon. The conduction band in silicon is usually approximated by three pairs of equivalent minima located near the Xpoints of the Brillouin zone. It is commonly assumed that close to the minima the el...

Sr 2 CuO 3 and Ca 2 CuO 3 are considered to be model systems of strongly anisotropic, spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnets. We report on the basis of a band-structure analysis within the local density approximation and on the basis of available experimental data a careful analysis of model parameters for extended Hubbard and Heisenberg models. Both insulating compounds show half-filled nearly o...

Animal electrocorticogram (ECoG) studies have shown that spatial patterns in the gamma band (>20 Hz) reflect perceptual categorization. Spatio-temporal correlations were investigated in the 20-50 Hz range in search for similar phenomena in human ECoG. ECoGs were recorded in a somatosensory discrimination task from 64-electrode subdural grid arrays, with inter-electrode spacing of 1 cm, overlyin...

The optical selection rules obeyed by two-dimensional materials with spin-valley coupling enable the selective excitation of carriers. We show that six members monolayer MA2Z4 (M = Mo and W; A C, Si, Ge; Z N, P, As) family are direct band-gap semiconductors protected valley states circularly polarized infrared light can induce valley-selective inter-band transitions. Our optovalleytronic device...
