AbstractThe electronic structure of the prototypical quasi-one dimensional (1D) conductor K03MoO3 has been studied using high resolution photoemission spectroscopy. In particular, the electronic structure of defects was investigated in order to understand the mechanism for charge density wave pinning and destruction of the Peierls transition. Defects were found to radically alter the electronic structure close to the Fermi level (EF), thus strongly modifying the structure of the Fermi surface. While a low emission intensity at EF has been interpreted as evidence for a Luttinger liquid ground state in a ID metal, we show that non-stoichiometric surfaces lead to similar effects. The nature of the ground state is discussed in the context of these results.

Conducting polymers comprises a new class of materials achieving electrical conductivities which rival those of the best metals. The parent compounds (conjugated polymers) are quasi-one-dimensional semiconductors. These polymers can be doped by electron acceptors or electron donors. The prototype of these materials is polyacetylene (PA). There are various other conjugated polymers such as polyparaphenylene, polyphenylenevinylene, polypoyrrole or polythiophene. The doped systems, i.e. the conducting polymers, have intersting potential technological applications such as replacement of conventional metals in electronic shielding and antistatic equipment, rechargable batteries, and flexible light emitting diodes.Although these systems have been investigated almost 20 years, the electronic structure of the doped metallic systems is not clear and even the reason for the gap in undoped semiconducting systems is under discussion.

AbstractWe derive and describe a very accurate variational scheme for the ground state of the system of a few ultra-cold bosons confined in one-dimensional traps of arbitrary shapes. It is based on assumption that all inter-particle correlations have two-body nature. By construction, the proposed ansatz is exact in the noninteracting limit, exactly encodes boundary conditions forced by contact interactions, and gives full control on accuracy in the limit of infinite repulsions. We show its efficiency in a whole range of intermediate interactions for different external potentials. Our results manifest that for generic non-parabolic potentials mutual correlations forced by interactions cannot be captured by distance-dependent functions.

The electronic structures of homovalent [V2(μ-S2)2(R2dtc)4] (R = Et, iBu) and mixed-valent [V2(μ-S2)2(R2dtc)4]+ are reported here. The soft-donor, eight-coordinate ligand shell combined with the fully delocalised ground state provides a...

Structural optimization, magnetic ground state and electronic structure calculations of tetragonal PbMnO3have been carried out using local density approximation (LDA) implementations of density functional theory (DFT). Structural optimizations were done on tetragonal P4mm (non-centrosymmetric) and P4/mmm (centrosymmetric) structures using experimental lattice parameters and our results indicate that P4mm is more stable than P4/mmm. In order to determine the stable magnetic ground state of PbMnO3, total energies for different magnetic configurations such as nonmagnetic (NM), ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) were computed for both P4mm and P4/mmm structures. The total energy results reveal that the FM non-centrosymmetric structure is found to be the most stable magnetic ground state. The electronic band structure, density of states (DOS) and the electron localization function (ELF) were calculated for the stable FM structure. ELF revealed the distorted non-centrosymmetric structure. The band structure and DOS for the majority spins of FM PbMnO3showed no band gap at the Fermi level. However, a gap opens up at the Fermi level in minority spin channel suggesting that it could be a half-metal and a potential spintronic candidate.
