AbstractWe studied oxygen migration in calcia-stabilized cubic zirconia (CSZ) using density functional theory. A Ca atom was substituted for a Zr atom in a 2×2×2 ZrO2 cubic supercell, and an oxygen vacancy was produced to satisfy the charge neutrality condition. We found that the formation energies of an oxygen vacancy, as a function of its location with respect to the Ca atom, were varied. The relative formation energies of the oxygen vacancies located at the first-, second-, third-, and fourth-nearest-neighbors were 0.0, −0.07, 0.19, and 0.19 eV, respectively. Therefore, the oxygen vacancy located at the second-nearest-neighbor site of the Ca atom was the most favorable, the oxygen vacancy located at the first-nearest-neighbor site was the second most favorable, and the oxygen vacancies at the third- and fourth-nearest-neighbor sites were the least favorable. We also calculated the energy barriers for the oxygen vacancy migration between oxygen sites. The energy barriers between the first and the second nearest sites, the second and third nearest sites, and the third and fourth nearest sites were 0.11, 0.46, and 0.23 eV, respectively. Therefore, the oxygen vacancies favored the first- and second-nearest-neighbor oxygen sites when they drifted under an electric field.

ABSTRACTThe energy differences between various SiC polytypes are calculated using the full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital method and analyzed in terms of the anisotropie next nearest neighbor interaction (ANNNI) model. The fact that J1 + 2J2 < 0 with J1 > 0 implies that twin boundaries in otherwise cubic material are favorable unless twins occur as nearest neighbor layers. Contrary to some other recent calculations we find J1 > |J2|. We discuss the consequences of this for stabilization of cubic SiC in epitaxial growth, including considerations of the island size effects.

We develop entanglement perturbation theory (EPT) for infinite Quasi-1D quantum systems. The spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain with ferromagnetic nearest neighbor (NN) and antiferromagnetic next nearest neighbor (NNN) interactions with an easy-plane anisotropy is studied as a prototypical system. The obtained phase diagram is compared with a recent prediction [Phys. Rev. B 81, 094430 (2010)] that dimer and Néel orders appear alternately as the XXZ anisotropy Δ approaches the isotropic limit Δ = 1. The first and second transitions (across dimer, Néel and dimer phases) are detected with improved accuracy at Δ ≈ 0.722 and 0.930. The third transition (from dimer to Néel phases), previously predicted to be at Δ ≈ 0.98, is not detected at this Δ in our method, strongly indicating that the second Néel phase is absent.

This article reviews and extends recent results concerning entanglement and frustration in multipartite systems which have some symmetry with respect to the ordering of the particles. Starting point of the discussion are Bell inequalities: their relation to frustration in classical systems and their satisfaction for quantum states which have a symmetric extension. We then discussed how more general global symmetries of multipartite systems constrain the entanglement between two neighboring particles. We prove that maximal entanglement (measured in terms of the entanglement of formation) is always attained for the ground state of a certain nearest neighbor interaction Hamiltonian having the considered symmetry with the achievable amount of entanglement being a function of the ground state energy. Systems of Gaussian states, i.e. quantum harmonic oscillators, are investigated in more detail and the results are compared to what is known about ordered qubit systems.
