We compare the irreversible work produced in an infinitesimal sudden quench of a quantum system at zero temperature with its ground state fidelity susceptibility, giving an explicit relation between the two quantities. We find that the former is proportional to the latter but for an extra term appearing in the irreversible work which includes also contributions from the excited states. We calculate explicitly the two quantities in the case of the quantum Ising chain, showing that at criticality they exhibit different scaling behaviors. The irreversible work, rescaled by square of the quench’s amplitude, exhibits a divergence slower than that of the fidelity susceptibility. As a consequence, the two quantities obey also different finite-size scaling relations.

The geometries and electronic properties of divacancies with two kinds of structures were investigated by the first-principles (U) B3LYP/STO-3G and self-consistent-charge density-functional tight-binding (SCC-DFTB) method. Different from the reported understanding of these properties of divacancy in graphene and carbon nanotubes, it was found that the ground state of the divacancy with 585 configurations is closed shell singlet state and much more stable than the 555777 configurations in the smaller graphene flakes, which is preferred to triplet state. But when the sizes of the graphene become larger, the 555777 defects will be more stable. In addition, the spin density properties of the both configurations are studied in this paper.

We investigate the ground state phase diagram of the two dimensional Extended Hubbard Model (EHM) with more than Nearest-Neighbor (NN) interactions for finite size system at low concentration. This EHM is solved analytically for finite square lattice at one-eighth filling. All eigenvalues and eigenvectors are given as a function of the on-site repulsion energy U and the off-site interaction energy Vij. The behavior of the ground state energy exhibits the emergence of phase diagram. The obtained results clearly underline that interactions exceeding NN distances in range can significantly influence the emergence of the ground state conductor–insulator transition.

We analyze the corrections caused by finite size effects upon the ground state properties of a homogeneous one-dimensional (1D) Bose–Einstein condensate. We assume from the very beginning that the Bogoliubov’s formalism is valid and consequently, we show that in order to obtain a well-defined ground state properties, finite size effects of the system must be taken into account. Indeed, the formalism described in the present paper allows to recover the usual properties related to the ground state of a homogeneous 1D Bose–Einstein condensate but corrected by finite size effects of the system. Finally, this scenario allows us to analyze the sensitivity of the system when the Bogoliubov’s regime is valid and when finite size effects are present. These facts open the possibility to apply these ideas to more realistic scenarios, e.g. low-dimensional trapped Bose–Einstein condensates.

AbstractWe consider a three-state lattice-gas with nearest-neighbor interactions on a triangular lattice as a model for multicomponent chemi- and physisorption. By varying the lateral interaction constants between the adsorbate particles, this model can be made to exhibit either enhanced adsorption or poisoning (inhibited adsorption). We discuss here the conditions on the interaction constants that lead to poisoning. We present the results of a ground-state calculation and detailed numerical study of the phase diagram for a set of interactions that exhibits poisoning. We calculate the phase diagrams and adsorption isotherms by the finite-size scaling transfer-matrix method. We consider the result as a simple model for the coadsorption of Sulphur and Hydrogen on a Platinum (111) surface, with interaction constants estimated from experimental data. The resulting adsorption isotherms are in good agreement with experimental results.
