The Jahn-Teller effect used semi-theoretically to analyse UV-visible spectra of the diamond like-carbon films on Si substrates. By deconvolution of UV-visible absorption spectra of the typical films, different absorption lines found. For each sample, six lines which were related to V • by Jahn-Teller effect are distinguished. Our theoretical approach based on distortion of the V • as the conseq...

A new approach for the calculation of vibrational energy relaxation rate constants is introduced. The new approach is based on linear response theory, and is shown to have several distinct advantages over the standard Landau–Teller formula, which is based on the Bloch–Redfield theory, namely: ~1! weak system–bath coupling is not assumed; ~2! selectivity in choosing the vibrational energy relaxa...

It is demonstrated that under common conditions a molecular solid subject to Jahn-Teller interactions supports stable Q-ball-like nontopological solitons. Such solitons represent a localized lump of excess electric charge in periodic motion accompanied by a time-dependent shape distortion of a set of adjacent molecules. The motion of the distortion can correspond to a true rotation or to a pseu...

The ground and electronically excited states of cyclic N(3) (+) are characterized at the equilibrium D(3h) geometry and along the Jahn-Teller distortions. Lowest excited states are derived from single excitations from the doubly degenerate highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMOs) to the doubly degenerate lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMOs), which give rise to two exactly and two nea...

Understanding the relationship between the superconducting, the neighboring insulating, and the normal metallic state above T c is a major challenge for all unconventional superconductors. The molecular A3C60 fulleride superconductors have a parent antiferromagnetic insulator in common with the atom-based cuprates, but here, the C60 (3-) electronic structure controls the geometry and spin state...

Building upon the finding that people can assess the logicality of conjunctive probability statements intuitively (Vallee-Tourangeau & Faure-Bloom, 2015), we examine whether increasing the salience of people’s implicit knowledge about the logic of sets can impact the influence of logical considerations on probability judgments. We compared the rate of heuristic responding in a control group wit...

In a two orbital double exchange model we formulate Jahn-Teller coupled charge density wave in half-filled limit. Softening of Jahn-Teller phonons corresponding to distortion modes Q2 or Q3 associated with perfect nesting of Fermi surface leads to this instability at low temperature. The gap equation for charge density wave state and its dependences on electron-lattice coupling are calculated e...

Rotationally resolved resonance enhanced multiphoton ionisation spectra of the B̃(1)E'' state of NH2D are presented and analysed. The analysis indicates a small (34.9 cm(-1)) lifting of the vibronic degeneracy of the zero point level, approximately equal in sign but opposite in magnitude to the splitting observed in NHD2 in previous work. This observation is consistent with previous measurements...

shows nonuniversal critical behavior in two dimensions in the neighborhood of K4 =0. To see if this behavior persists for N & 2 we perform a first-order-perturbation expansion around the decoupling point in two dimensions. As an aid in interpreting the results of this perturbation expansion we have determined the phase diagram of the system through mean-field theory and Monte Carlo studies in 1...
