Present experiments with Bose condensed gases can be largely described by a semi-ideal two-gas model. In this model, the condensate is influenced only by the mean-field repulsion among condensed atoms, while the thermal cloud is considered…
In the framework of the graded quantum inverse scattering method (QISM), we obtain the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the supersymmetric $t-J$ model with reflecting boundary conditions in FFB background. The corresponding Bethe ansatz…
Based on our previous analysis \cite{doerfel3} of the anisotropic integrable chain consisting of spins $s=1/2$ and $s=1$ we compare the dispersion relations for the sectors with infinite Fermi zones. Further we calculate the speeds of sound…
The band structure of silicon is calculated at the Gamma, X, and L wave vectors using diffusion quantum Monte Carlo methods. Excited states are formed by promoting an electron from the valence band into the conduction band. We obtain good…
The charge on an atom at a metallic surface in an electric field is defined as the field-derivative of the force on the atom, and this is consistent with definitions of effective charge and screening charge. This charge can be found from…
We consider materials whose mechanical integrity is the result of a jamming process. We argue that such media are generically "fragile": unable to support certain types of incremental loading without plastic rearrangement. Fragility is…
We investigate the properties of rigid polyelectrolyte solutions in presence of monovalent salt. The free energy within the Debye-H\"uckel-Bjerrum (DHBj) theory [M. E. Fisher and Y. Levin, {\it Phys. Rev. Lett.} 71, 3826 (1993)] is…
A quench in an underdamped one dimensional $\phi^4$ model is studied by analytical methods. The density of kinks just after the transition is proportional to the square root of the rate of the quench for slow quenches. If the quench is…
A hydrodynamic description is used to study the normal modes of a vortex in a zero-temperature Bose-Einstein condensate. In the Thomas-Fermi (TF) limit, the circulating superfluid velocity far from the vortex core provides a small…
We present asymptotically exact solutions of an incommensurate Harper equation---one-dimensional Schroedinger equation of one particle on a lattice in a cosine potential. The wave functions can be written as an infinite product of string…
The Bogoliubov theory is extended to a Bose-Einstein condensation with internal degrees of freedom, realized recently in $^{23}$Na gases where several hyperfine states are simultaneously cooled optically. Starting with a Hamiltonian…
In the framework of recently introduced frustrated lattice gas models, we study the out of equilibrium dynamical processes during the compaction process in granular media. We find irreversible-reversible cycles in agreement with recent…
We apply the transfer matrix DMRG to frustrated quantum spin chains, going down to T=0.025 while being in the thermodynamic limit. The incommensurability problem of exact diagonalization and the negative sign problem of quantum Monte Carlo…
We consider the conditions under which solitary waves can exist in elongated clouds of Bose-Einstein condensed atoms. General expressions are derived for the velocity, characteristic size, and spatial profile of solitary waves, and the low-…
A new method for the stabilization of the sign problem in the Green Function Monte Carlo technique is proposed. The method is devised for real lattice Hamiltonians and is based on an iterative ''stochastic reconfiguration'' scheme which…
Using the density matrix renormalization group method (DMRG) we calculate the magnetization of frustrated S=1/2 Heisenberg chains for various modulation patterns of the nearest neighbour coupling: commensurate, incommensurate with…
We study the effect of umklapp scattering on the magnetic-field-induced spin-density-wave (FISDW) phases which are experimentally observed in the quasi-one-dimensional organic conductors of the Bechgaard salts family. Within the framework…
I investigate stable equilibria of bodies in potential fields satisfying a generalized Poisson equation: divergence[m(grad phi) grad phi]= source density. This describes diverse systems such as nonlinear dielectrics, certain flow problems,…
Using a time dependent selfconsistent model for vertical sequential tunneling,we study the appearance of charge instabilities that lead to the formation of electric field domains in a weakly coupled doped superlattice in the presence of…
The evolution of hole and spin dynamics in high temperature superconductors is studied within the self-consistent noncrossing approximation of the t-J model in the small hole density limit. As the doping concentration is increased,…
