Surface energies in a two-dimensional mass-spring model for crystals

Florian Theil (2011)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We study an atomistic pair potential-energy E(n)(y) that describes the elastic behavior of two-dimensional crystals with natoms where y 2 × n characterizes the particle positions. The main focus is the asymptotic analysis of the ground state energy asn tends to infinity. We show in a suitable scaling regime where the energy is essentially quadratic that the energy minimum of E(n) admits an asymptotic expansion involving fractional powers of n: min y E ( n ) ( y ) = n E bulk + n E surface + o ( n ) , n . The bulk energy densityEbulk is given by an explicit expression...

Symmetries of an extended Hubbard Model

Bianca Cerchiai, Peter Schupp (1997)

Banach Center Publications

The Hamiltonian for an extended Hubbard model with phonons as introduced by A. Montorsi and M. Rasetti is considered on a D-dimensional lattice. The symmetries of the model are studied in various cases. It is shown that for a certain choice of the parameters a superconducting S U q ( 2 ) holds as a true quantum symmetry, but only for D=1.

Systems with Coulomb interactions

Sylvia Serfaty (2014)

Journées Équations aux dérivées partielles

Systems with Coulomb and logarithmic interactions arise in various settings: an instance is the classical Coulomb gas which in some cases happens to be a random matrix ensemble, another is vortices in the Ginzburg-Landau model of superconductivity, where one observes in certain regimes the emergence of densely packed point vortices forming perfect triangular lattice patterns named Abrikosov lattices, a third is the study of Fekete points which arise in approximation theory. In this review, we describe...
