Towards Diagrammatic Patterns
2008
This article presents the idea that the graphical representation (concrete syntax) of a visual language can be specified based on some pre-defined diagrammatic patterns. A diagram from the Specification and Description Language (SDL) is used as illustration.
Quantum Monte Carlo study of high pressure solid molecular hydrogen
2013
We use the diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) method to calculate the ground state phase diagram of solid molecular hydrogen and examine the stability of the most important insulating phases relative to metallic crystalline molecular hydrogen. We develop a new method to account for finite-size errors by combining the use of twist-averaged boundary conditions with corrections obtained using the Kwee-Zhang-Krakauer (KZK) functional in density functional theory. To study band-gap closure and find the metallization pressure, we perform accurate quasi-particle many-body calculations using the $GW$ method. In the static approximation, our DMC simulations indicate a transition from the insulating…
Tetragonal tungsten bronze compounds: relaxor versus mixed ferroelectric-dipole glass behavior.
2011
We demonstrate that recent experimental data (E. Castel et al J.Phys. Cond. Mat. {\bf 21} (2009), 452201) on tungsten bronze compound (TBC) Ba$_2$Pr$_x$Nd$_{1-x}$FeNb$_4$O$_{15}$ can be well explained in our model predicting a crossover from ferroelectric ($x=0$) to orientational (dipole) glass ($x=1$), rather then relaxor, behavior. We show, that since a "classical" perovskite relaxor like Pb(Mn$_{1/3}$ Nb$_{2/3}$)O$_3$ is never a ferroelectric, the presence of ferroelectric hysteresis loops in TBC shows that this substance actually transits from ferroelectric to orientational glass phase with $x$ growth. To describe the above crossover theoretically, we use the simple replica-symmetric so…
The enhancement of ferromagnetism in uniaxially stressed diluted magnetic semiconductors
2003
We predict a new mechanism of enhancement of ferromagnetic phase transition temperature $T_c$ in uniaxially stressed diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) of p-type. Our prediction is based on comparative studies of both Heisenberg (inherent to undistorted DMS with cubic lattice) and Ising (which can be applied to strongly enough stressed DMS) models in a random field approximation permitting to take into account the spatial inhomogeneity of spin-spin interaction. Our calculations of phase diagrams show that area of parameters for existence of DMS-ferromagnetism in Ising model is much larger than that in Heisenberg model.
X-ray-diffraction study of the crystal structures and orientational glass state ofAr1−x(N2)xsolid solutions
1990
Solid solutions of ${\mathrm{Ar}}_{1\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathit{x}}$(${\mathrm{N}}_{2}$${)}_{\mathit{x}}$ have been investigated by x-ray powder diffraction in the range 0.5x1.0, 8T60 K, and under hydrostatic pressures up to 2200 bars. The structural hcp-cubic (Pa3) phase transition is identified as a martensitic transformation with a wide transformation hysteresis. For x0.8 and T30 K the solid solutions show the orientational glass state, which is characterized by a superposition of inhomogeneous and homogeneous lattice strains. The inhomogeneous component is described by the random-field model. The homogeneous component corresponds to an orthorhombic distortion of the hcp lattice. Two …
Ab initio phase diagram of silver
2021
Silver has been considered as one of the simple one-phase materials that do not exhibit high pressure or high temperature polymorphism. The solid phase of Ag at ambient conditions is face-centered cubic (fcc) one. However, very recently another solid phase of silver, body-centered cubic (bcc) one, was detected in shock-wave (SW) experiments, and a more sophisticated phase diagram of Ag with the two solid phases was published by Smirnov. In this work, using a suite ofab initioquantum molecular dynamics (QMD) simulations based on the Z methodology which combines both direct Z method for the simulation of melting curves and inverse Z method for the calculation of solid-solid phase boundaries, …
Quasiparticles and quantum phase transition in universal low-temperature properties of heavy-fermion metals
2006
We demonstrate, that the main universal features of the low temperature experimental $H-T$ phase diagram of CeCoIn5 and other heavy-fermion metals can be well explained using Landau paradigm of quasiparticles. The main point of our theory is that above quasiparticles form so-called fermion-condensate state, achieved by a fermion condensation quantum phase transition (FCQPT). When a heavy fermion liquid undergoes FCQPT, the fluctuations accompanying above quantum critical point are strongly suppressed and cannot destroy the quasiparticles. The comparison of our theoretical results with experimental data on CeCoIn5 have shown that the electronic system of above substance provides a unique opp…
Comment on “Accurate ground-state phase diagram of the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model at half filling”
2004
In PRB 68, 153101 (2003), Guoping Zhang presented density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) results which contradict my DMRG calculations and Hirsch's quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations for the charge-density-wave (CDW) phase boundary in the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model at half filling. In this Comment I show that Zhang's results are inaccurate and that his criticism of my work is groundless.
Quantum Phases in a Resonantly Interacting Boson-Fermion Mixture
2005
We consider a resonantly-interacting Bose-Fermi mixture of $^{40}$K and $^{87}$Rb atoms in an optical lattice. We show that by using a red-detuned optical lattice the mixture can be accurately described by a generalized Hubbard model for $^{40}$K and $^{87}$Rb atoms, and $^{40}$K-$^{87}$Rb molecules. The microscopic parameters of this model are fully determined by the details of the optical lattice and the interspecies Feshbach resonance in the absence of the lattice. We predict a quantum phase transition to occur in this system already at low atomic filling fraction, and present the phase diagram as a function of the temperature and the applied magnetic field.
Simulation of Transport in Partially Miscible Binary Fluids: Combination of Semigrandcanonical Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics Methods
2004
Binary Fluids that exhibit a miscibility gap are ubiquitous in nature (glass melts, polymer solutions and blends, mixtures of molten metals, etc.) and exhibit a delicate interplay between static and dynamic properties. This is exemplified for a simple model system, the symmetrical AB Lennard-Jones mixture. It is shown how semigrandcanonical Monte Carlo methods, that include A→B (B→A) identity switches as Monte Carlo moves, can yield the phase diagram, the interfacial tension between coexisting phases, and various pair correlation functions and structure factors. In addition to the build-up of long-ranged concentration correlations near the critical point, unmixing is also accompanied by the…
