We studied a non-interacting Λ/V-type dice model composed of three triangular sublattices. By considering the isotropic nearest-neighbor hoppings and the next-nearest-neighbor hoppings with the phase, as well as the quasi-staggered on-site potential, we acquired the full phase diagrams under the different fillings of the energy bands. There are abundant topological non-trivial phases with different Chern numbers C=±1, as well as higher ones ±2,±3 and a metal phase in several regimes. In addition, we also checked the bulk–edge correspondence of the system by analyzing the edge-state energy spectrum.

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.

ABSTRACTTransfer integrals (tij) between pairs of nearest neighbor ET molecules were calculated by an ab initio method. Tight-binding one-electron energy bands constructed from the tij are similar to those previously calculated by Mori and by Whangbo and their coworkers by semi-empirical, extended Hückel methods, but quite different from those found by Kübler et al. in β-(ET)2I3 using the augmented spherical wave (ASW) method. However, all these band models are suspect. The Hubbard on-site repulsion parameter U is estimated to be about twice the band widths, indicating that a full treatment of the Hubbard hamiltonian is needed. Also, polaron effects appear to control transport except at very low temperature.

Starting from crystal, electronic and magnetic structures of Heusler compounds, this paper studies the new topological materials related to Heusler compounds and their topological properties, such as anomalous Hall effect, skyrmions, chiral anomaly, Dirac fermion, Weyl fermion, transverse Nernst thermoelectric effect, thermal spintronics and topological surface states. It can be discovered that the topological state of Heusler compound can be well protected due to its high symmetry, thus producing rich topological properties. Heusler materials belonged to Weyl semimetals usually have strong anomalous Hall effect, and the Heusler materials with doping or Anomalous Nernst Effect (ANE) usually have higher thermoelectric figure of merit. These anomalous effects are closely related to the strong spin–orbit interaction. In application, people can use the non-dissipative edge state of quantum anomalous Hall effect to develop a new generation of low-energy transistors and electronic devices. The conversion efficiency of thermoelectric materials can be improved by ANE, and topological superconductivity can be used to promote the progress of quantum computation.

Using the two-dimensional Jordan–Wigner Fermionization procedure, we calculate the energy spectrum of the in-phase flux antiferromagnetically spin-1/2 coupled Heisenberg model in a square lattice, the formalism used introduces the notion of isotropic parameters. The energy spectrum is analyzed for various regimes of the exchange interactions and the isotropic parameters. The thermodynamic parameters of the lattice, notably the ground state energy, the free energy, mean energy, entropy and specific heat are calculated. It is seen that the specific heat undergoes a phase transition at a temperature below the critical temperature due to spontaneous magnetization. Its entropy for homogeneous and completely isotropic regime is compared for two regimes of the exchange interaction and it is observed that the entropy decreases with an increase in the coupling strength. All the thermodynamic parameters calculated for this spin model are seen to be in conformity with the principles and laws of Statistical Thermodynamics.

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.

Some remarks on the theory of an electron on binary quasiperiodic lattices are presented herein. We classify all the binary quasiperiodic lattices that are constructed by a class of scaling transformations: B→A, A→AnB, where n is an arbitrary positive integer at each stage of the scaling transformation, into three types by means of the scaling transformation itself. We give a simple approach to generate a Cantor-set type energy spectrum by the generic trace map on an invariant surface, I=x2+y2+z2−2xyz−1. The Cantor-set type energy spectrum is a result of the existence of the noncompact invariant surface of the invariant I>0. The energy bands correspond to the nonescaping points of the generic trace map on the invariant surface, which are identified with the Julia set of the generic trace map. The density of states and the wavefunction at the band center are discussed, and we are able to classify them into three types respectively by means of its exponents.
