Using a density functional scheme, the authors investigate the electronic properties of an epitaxial silicon oxynitride layer on a 6H-SiC(0001) surface, as recently realized experimentally. Simulated scanning-tunneling-microscopy images of filled and empty ...
We have extended the range of the high-pressure optical spectroscopy to the far-infrared region keeping the accuracy of ambient-pressure experiments. The developed method offers a powerful tool for the study of pressure-induced phase transitions and electr ...
Multiple description coding offers an elegant and competitive solution for data transmission over lossy packetbased networks, with a graceful degradation in quality as losses increase. In the same time, coding techniques based on redundant transforms give ...
Starting from a single band Hubbard model in the Wannier function basis, we revisit the problem of the ligand contribution to exchange and derive explicit formulas for the exchange integrals in metal oxide compounds in terms of atomic parameters that can b ...
Using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy we have studied the momentum and photon energy dependence of the anomalous high-energy dispersion, termed waterfalls, between the Fermi level and 1 eV binding energy in several high-T-c superc ...
We propose that the inhomogeneous patterns seen by STM in some underdoped superconducting cuprates could be related to a bond-order-wave instability of the staggered flux state, one of the most studied “normal” state proposed to compete with the d-wave RVB ...
A family of models is proposed to describe the motion of holes in a fluctuating quantum dimer background on the square lattice. Following Castelnovo et al. [Ann. Phys. (N.Y.) 318, 316 (2005)], a generalized Rokhsar-Kivelson Hamiltonian at finite doping whi ...
With the use of localized 13C MRS in conjunction with [1-(13)C]-D-glucose infusion, it is possible to study brain glycogen metabolism in vivo. The purpose of this study was to validate in vivo 13C MRS measurements by comparing them with results from a stan ...
We have performed first-principle calculations of the electronic structure and exchange couplings for the nanotube compound Na2V3O7 using the local-density approximation Hubbard parameter U approach. Our results show that while the intraring exchange inter ...
We present scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements at the TaSe2 surface showing a first order process leading to a surface Mott transition. This metal to insulator transition is triggered by the commensurate charge density wave (CDW) which set up ...
