Impact of strong disorder on the static magnetic properties of the spin-chain compound BaCu_{2}SiGeO_{7}

The disordered quasi-one-dimensional magnet BaCu2SiGeO7 is considered as one of the best physical realizations of the random Heisenberg chain model, which features an irregular distribution of the exchange parameters and whose ground state is predicted to ...

Re and Br X-ray Absorption Near-Edge Structure Study of the Ground and Excited States of [ReBr(CO)(3)(bpy)] Interpreted by DFT and TD-DFT Calculations

Amal El Nahhas, Renske Marjan van der Veen

X-ray absorption spectra of fac-[ReBr(CO)(3)(bpy)] near the Re L-3- and Br K-edges were measured in a steady-state mode as well as time-resolved at 630 ps after 355 nm laser pulse excitation. Relativistic spin-orbit time-dependent density functional theory ...

Solvent Induced Luminescence Quenching: Static and Time-Resolved X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy of a Copper(I) Phenanthroline Complex

Majed Chergui, Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, Thomas James Penfold, Gloria Capano, Marco Eli Reinhard, Frederico Alves Lima, Mercedes Hannelore Rittmann-Frank, Jochen Rittmann, Olivier Christian Bräm, Lotta Susanne Karlsson

We present a static and picosecond X-ray absorption study at the Cu K-edge of bis(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline)copper(I) (Cu(dmp)(2); dmp = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) dissolved in acetonitrile and dichloromethane. The steady-state photolumi ...

Competing states in the SU(3) Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice: Plaquette valence-bond crystal versus dimerized color-ordered state

Frédéric Mila, Karlo Penc, Miklos Lajko

Conflicting predictions have been made for the ground state of the SU(3) Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice: Tensor network simulations found a plaquette order [Zhao et al., Phys. Rev. B 85, 134416 (2012)], where singlets are formed on hexagons, whi ...

Emergence and Detection of Exotic Phases in Spin-1 Systems

Frédéric Alexis Michaud

This work is devoted to the study of spin S = 1 systems, and more precisely to the emergence of exotic quantum phases in such systems, and to the establishment of tools to observe such phases. It is split in four main chapters. In the first chapter, we sho ...

Global dynamics above the ground state energy for the one-dimensional NLKG equation

Joachim Krieger

In this paperwe obtain a global characterization of the dynamics of even solutions to the one-dimensional nonlinear Klein–Gordon (NLKG) equation on the line with focusing nonlinearity |u|p−1u, p > 5, provided their energy exceeds that of the ground state o ...

Semiclassical approach to ground-state properties of hard-core bosons in two dimensions

Frédéric Mila, Tommaso Coletta, Nicolas Laflorencie

Motivated by some inconsistencies in the way quantum fluctuations are included beyond the classical treatment of hard-core bosons on a lattice in the recent literature, we revisit the large-S semiclassical approach to hard-core bosons on the square lattice ...

Linear-scaling DFT+U with full local orbital optimization

We present an approach to the DFT+U method (density functional theory + Hubbard model) within which the computational effort for calculation of ground-state energies and forces scales linearly with system size. We employ a formulation of the Hubbard model ...

A ratiometric fluorescence sensor for caffeine

Kay Severin, Albert Ruggi, Nicolas Luisier, Nicolas David Gaeng, Laurane Favre

The dye disodium 3,4:3’,4’-bibenzo[b]thiophene-2,2’-disulfonate can be used as molecular probe for the fluorimetric detection of caffeine in aqueous solution. The fluorescence response is attributed to non-covalent interactions of caffeine with the dye in ...

Spin-wave analysis of the transverse-field Ising model on the checkerboard lattice

Frédéric Mila

The ground-state properties of the S = 1/2 transverse-field Ising model on the checkerboard lattice are studied using linear spin-wave theory. We consider the general case of different couplings between nearest neighbors (J(1)) and next-to-nearest neighbor ...
