MULTIFRACTAL ELECTRONIC WAVE FUNCTIONS IN THE ANDERSON MODEL OF LOCALIZATION

1992

Investigations of the multifractal properties of electronic wave functions in disordered samples are reviewed. The characteristic mass exponents of the multifractal measure, the generalized dimensions and the singularity spectra are discussed for typical cases. New results for large 3D systems are reported, suggesting that the multifractal properties at the mobility edge which separates localized and extended states are independent of the microscopic details of the model.

Zero-bias conductance peak in detached flakes of superconducting 2H-TaS2probed by scanning tunneling spectroscopy

2014

We report an anomalous tunneling conductance with a zero-bias peak in flakes of superconducting 2$H$-${\mathrm{TaS}}_{2}$ detached through mechanical exfoliation. To explain the observed phenomenon, we construct a minimal model for a single unit cell layer of superconducting 2$H$-${\mathrm{TaS}}_{2}$ with a simplified two-dimensional Fermi surface and a sign-changing Cooper-pair wave function induced by Coulomb repulsion. Superconductivity is induced in the central $\ensuremath{\Gamma}$ pocket, where it becomes nodal. We show that weak scattering at the nodal Fermi surface, produced by nonperturbative coupling between tip and sample, gives Andreev states that lead to a zero-bias peak in the…

Multipole response of $^3$He clusters

1991

Ground state properties of normal 3He drops have been studied using either a correlated wave function in conjunction with a realistic potential of Aziz type1) or a mean-field description based on an effective potential 2,3). In general, an overall good agreement between both methods has been found. The second one has the advantage of being rather easily applicable to both static and dynamic calculations, although being less fundamental than the first one. In this work we are concerned with the description of the collective modes of normal 3He drops within the self-consistent Random-Phase Approximation (RPA), in which the same effective interaction is used to generate both the mean-field and…

Low-temperature anharmonic lattice deformations near rotator impurities: A quantum Monte Carlo approach.

1994

At zero temperature the equilibrium structures of a system consisting of a quantum rotator (${\mathrm{N}}_{2}$) embedded in a relaxing lattice (Ar) surrounding are studied with a variational approach. With symmetric wave functions (para-${\mathrm{N}}_{2}$), we obtain a cubic lattice deformation near the rotator, while with antisymmetric wave functions (ortho-${\mathrm{N}}_{2}$), we obtain a tetragonal lattice deformation forming a stable oriented ground state. At low temperatures, we investigate the properties of this system with a quantum Monte Carlo simulation. On top of the tetragonal deformation the width of the nearest-neighbor oscillations follows classical ``scaling'' laws according …

Getting covariantly smeared sources into better shape

2014

The use of covariantly smeared sources in hadronic correlators is a common method of improving the projection onto the ground state. Studying the dependence of the shape of such sources on the gauge field background, we find that localized fluxes of magnetic field can strongly distort the sources. This results in a reduction of the smearing radii that can be reached by iterative smearing prescriptions, in particular as the continuum limit is approached. As a remedy, we propose a novel covariant smearing procedure (“free-form smearing”) enabling the creation of arbitrarily shaped sources, including in particular Gaussians of arbitrary radius, as well as shapes with nodes, such as hydrogenic …

Elementary theory and brief history

1991

In the history of the theory of deuteron photodisintegration one may distinguish roughly three periods: (i) the primitive period of the elementary theory using very simple wave functions and forces and considering lowest multipoles (E1, M1) only, (ii) the classical period still in the framework f conventional nuclear physics, but using realstic forces with correspondingly elaborate wave functions and considering also higher multipole transitions, (ii) the post-classic period with explicit treatment of subnuclear degrees of freedom like meson and isobar degrees of freedom and very recently quark-gluon degrees of freedom.

Drops of3Heatoms with good angular-momentum quantum numbers

2000

The stability of drops made of ${}^{3}\mathrm{He}$ atoms is studied by means of a Monte Carlo variational method using wave functions with good angular momentum quantum numbers. The number of constituents considered is in the range 34--40. It is found that the minimal bound drop requires 35 atoms (perhaps 34) and that the preferred wave function must have the maximum spin.

Precision Spectroscopy of Deeply Bound Pionic Atoms and Partial Restoration of Chiral Symmetry in Medium

2011

We study theoretically the formation spectra of deeply bound pionic atoms expected to be observed by experiments with high energy resolution at RIBF/RIKEN, and we discuss in detail the possibilities to extract new information on the pion properties at finite density from the observed spectra, which may provide information on partial restoration of chiral symmetry in medium. We find that the non-yrast pionic states such as 2s are expected to be seen in the (d,3He) spectra, which will be helpful to reduce uncertainties of the theoretical calculations in the neutron wave functions in nucleus. The observation of the 2s state with the ground 1s state is also helpful to reduce the experimental un…

Bose condensates at high angular momenta

2000

We exploit the analogy with the Quantum Hall (QH) system to study weakly interacting bosons in a harmonic trap. For a $\delta$-function interaction potential the ``yrast'' states with $L\ge N(N-1)$ are degenerate, and we show how this can be understood in terms of Haldane exclusion statistics. We present spectra for 4 and 8 particles obtained by numerical and algebraic methods, and demonstrate how a more general hard-core potential lifts the degeneracies on the yrast line. The exact wavefunctions for N=4 are compared with trial states constructed from composite fermions (CF), and the possibility of using CF-states to study the low L region at high N is discussed.
