Manipulation of the Land$\acute{\text{e}}$ g-factor in InAs quantum dots through the application of anisotropic gate potentials: Exact diagonalizatio…
2010
We study the variation in the Land$\acute{\text{e}}$ g-factor of electron spins induced by both anisotropic gate potentials and magnetic fields in InAs quantum dots for possible implementation towards solid state quantum computing. In this paper, we present analytical expressions and numerical simulations of the variation in the Land$\acute{\text{e}}$ g-factor for both isotropic and anisotropic quantum dots. Using both analytical techniques and numerical simulations, we show that the Rashba spin-orbit coupling has a major contribution in the variation of the g-factor with electric fields before the regime, where level crossing or anticrossing occurs. In particular, the electric field tunabi…

Scaling Regimes and the Singularity of Specific Heat in the 3D Ising Model
2013
AbstractThe singularity of specific heat CV of the three-dimensional Ising model is studied based on Monte Carlo data for lattice sizes L≤1536. Fits of two data sets, one corresponding to certain value of the Binder cumulant and the other — to the maximum of CV, provide consistent values of C0 in the ansatz CV(L)=C0+ALα/ν at large L, if α/ν=0.196(6). However, a direct estimation from our data suggests that α/ν, most probably, has a smaller value (e.g., α/ν= 0.113(30)). Thus, the conventional power-law scaling ansatz can be questioned because of this inconsistency. We have found that the data are well described by certain logarithmic ansatz.
Parallelization of the Wolff single-cluster algorithm.
2010
A parallel [open multiprocessing (OpenMP)] implementation of the Wolff single-cluster algorithm has been developed and tested for the three-dimensional (3D) Ising model. The developed procedure is generalizable to other lattice spin models and its effectiveness depends on the specific application at hand. The applicability of the developed methodology is discussed in the context of the applications, where a sophisticated shuffling scheme is used to generate pseudorandom numbers of high quality, and an iterative method is applied to find the critical temperature of the 3D Ising model with a great accuracy. For the lattice with linear size L=1024, we have reached the speedup about 1.79 times …
Monte Carlo estimation of transverse and longitudinal correlation functions in the model
2010
Abstract Monte Carlo simulations of the three-dimensional O ( 4 ) model in the ordered phase are performed to study the Goldstone mode effects. Our data show a distinct scaling region, where the Fourier-transformed transverse correlation function behaves as ∝ k − λ ⊥ with λ ⊥ 2 ( λ ≃ 1.95 ), in disagreement with the standard theoretical prediction λ ⊥ = 2 .
Thermal behavior of absorbing and scattering glass media containing molecular water impurity
2005
The effect of the presence of molecular water impurity of various concentrations in absorbing and scattering glass media on the temperature field in a layer subjected to thermal infrared radiation is investigated. The analysed medium is treated as a multicomponent medium consisting of glass matrix and water impurity. The effect of radiation on the medium is expressed by heat sources in each component due to absorption of radiation. It is shown that the presence of water impurity in the glass medium should be accounted for in order to predict the temperature distribution during radiation action. The effect of scattering of radiation by water molecules on thermal and diffusive processes in th…
Hydrogen-doped cubic diamond and the crystal structure of n-diamond
2011
To understand the crystal structure of n-diamond, a hydrogen-doped (H-doped) diamond model has been investigated using first principles calculations. In particular, hydrogen concentration dependent elastic constants and lattice parameters for the H-doped diamond have been analyzed. Our results indicate that when the hydrogen concentration is less than 19 at.%, the H-doped diamond is mechanically stable. When the hydrogen concentration is about 4 at.%, the optimized lattice parameter, simulated XRD pattern and electronic properties for the H-doped diamond all agree well with the corresponding experimental values of n-diamond. The results imply that the n-diamond is likely to be an H-doped di…
