Macroscopic description of the diffusion of interstitial impurity atoms considering the influence of elastic stress on the drift of interstitial species Abstract The diffusion equation for nonequilibrium interstitial impurity atoms taking into account their charge states and drift of all mobile interstitial species in the built-in electric field and in the field of elastic stress was obtained. ...

We study an Anderson impurity in a semiconducting host using the density matrix renormalization group technique. We use the U50 one-dimensional Anderson Hamiltonian at half filling as the semiconducting host since it has a hybridization gap. By varying the hybridization of the host, we can control the size of the semiconducting gap D . We consider chains with 25 sites and we place the Anderson ...

Using a variational approach, we have investigated the effects of the magnetic field, the impurity position, and the nitrogen and indium concentrations on impurity binding energy in a Ga1-xInxNyAs1-y/GaAs quantum well. Our calculations have revealed the dependence of impurity binding on the applied magnetic field, the impurity position, and the nitrogen and indium concentrations.

An HPLC method was employed to create an impurity profile for liguzinediol as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), which resulted in the identification of two related impurities. Therefore, in order to improve the quality control of the liguzinediol-API, we identified and then developed a method for quantifying the two impurities (impurity-1 and impurity-2) by LC-TOF-MS-MS and then chemic...

Quantum impurity problems occur in various areas of physics. Some examples are: an impurity spin in a metal (the Kondo problem), the two-impurity Kondo problem, a defect or impurity spin in a spin chain, tunnelling through a barrier in a quantum wire proton-monopole scattering (the Callan-Rubakov effect). Some common features of these problems are: 1. gapless “bulk” excitations (ie. far from th...

We introduce a method to obtain the specific heat of quantum impurity models via a direct calculation of the impurity internal energy requiring only the evaluation of local quantitieswithin a single numerical renormalization group (NRG) calculation for the total system. For the Anderson impurity model we show that the impurity internal energy can be expressed as a sum of purely local static cor...

During the synthesis of the bulk drug Raloxifene hydrochloride, eight impurities were observed, four of which were found to be new. All of the impurities were detected using the gradient high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method, whose area percentages ranged from 0.05 to 0.1%. LCMS was performed to identify the mass number of these impurities, and a systematic study was carried out...

We investigate the behavior of impurity fields immersed in a larger condensate field in various dimensions. We discuss the localization of a single impurity field within a condensate and note the effects of surface energy. We derive the functional form of the attractive condensate-mediated interaction between two impurities. Generalizing the analysis to N impurity fields, we show that within va...

We study an Anderson impurity in a semiconducting host using the density matrix renormalization group technique. We use the U = 0 one–dimensional Anderson Hamiltonian at half filling as the semiconducting host since it has a hybridization gap. By varying the hybridization of the host, we can control the size of the semiconducting gap. We consider chains with 25 sites and we place the Anderson i...

This paper presents an analysis of the motion of an neutral impurity species in a nanometer scale 4He cluster, extending a previous study of the dynamics of an ionic impurity. It is shown that for realistic neutral impurity–He potentials, such as those of SF6 and OCS, the impurity is kept well away of the the surface of the cluster by long range induction and dispersion interactions with He, bu...
