Center of Mass and Relative Motion in Time Dependent Density Functional Theory
(American Physical Society, 1995)It is shown that the theorem asserting separability of the center of mass motion for a system of interacting particles in a harmonic external potential is satisfied in the time dependent density functional theory, provided ... -
Collective Excitations in Ethane Monolayers Adsorbed on Graphite (0001) Surfaces
(American Physical Society, 1984)Inelastic incoherent neutron spectra below 4.1 THz have been obtained for the √3×4 "herringbone" and √3×√3 "on-end" monolayer phases of ethane adsorbed on graphite basal planes. One-phonon cross sections calculated ... -
Cooperative Jahn-Teller Coupling in the Manganites
(American Physical Society, 2000)The cooperative Jahn-Teller coupling between the Mn eg electrons and the oxygen octahedral distortions in LaMnO3 is studied using ab initio density-functional calculations and tight-binding models. The linear and quadratic ... -
Corrugation in the nitrogen-graphite potential probed by inelastic neutron scattering
(American Physical Society, 1990)Inelastic neutron spectra of the commensurate √3 ×3 herringbone monolayer phase of nitrogen physisorbed on the graphite (002) surface at low temperature have been compared with lattice dynamics calculations of the ... -
Coulomb-Induced Rashba Spin-Orbit Coupling in Semiconductor Quantum Wells
(American Physical Society, 2010)In the absence of an external field, the Rashba spin-orbit interaction (SOI) in a two-dimensional electron gas in a semiconductor quantum well arises entirely from the screened electrostatic potential of ionized donors. ... -
Current-Dependent Exchange-Correlation Potential for Dynamical Linear Response Theory
(American Physical Society, 1996)The frequency-dependent exchange-correlation potential, which appears in the usual Kohn- Sham formulation of a time-dependent linear response problem, is a strongly nonlocal functional of the density, so that a consistent ... -
Density-Functional Theory for Strongly Interacting Electrons
(American Physical Society, 2009)We present an alternative to the Kohn-Sham formulation of density-functional theory for the ground-state properties of strongly interacting electronic systems. The idea is to start from the limit of zero kinetic energy and ... -
Does the Self-Trapped Magnetic Polaron Exist in Electron-Doped Manganites?
(American Physical Society, 2004)We show from ab initio density-functional calculations and model studies that, in the electron-doped manganite LaxCa1-xMnO3 (x≪1), unbound electrons are introduced into the conduction band, which then trap themselves in ... -
Drag in Paired Electron-Hole Layers
(American Physical Society, 1996)We investigate transresistance effects in electron-hole double-layer systems with a superfluid electron-hole condensate. Our theory is based on the use of a minimum dissipation premise to fix the current carried by the ... -
Electromagnetic wave propagation in periodic structures: Bloch wave solution of Maxwell's equations
(American Physical Society, 1990)We examine the propagation of electromagnetic waves in periodic dielectric structures by solving the vector Maxwell equations with the plane-wave method. Contrary to experimental reports, as well as results of scalar-wave ... -
Electronic Shell Structure and Relative Abundances of Cesium-Coated C60
(American Physical Society, 1996)The relative abundances of C60Cs(N), N≤500, determined from mass spectra measurements, are presented and explained in terms of the successive filling of the electronic shells by the cesium valence electrons. The motion of ... -
Electronic Structure of the Perovskite Oxides: La1-xCaxMnO3
(American Physical Society, 1996)The electronic structures of the perovskite oxides, LaMnO3 and CaMnO3, are studied using density-functional methods. Antiferromagnetic insulating (AFI) solutions are obtained for both compounds within the local-density ... -
Erratum: Theory of photon bands in three-dimensional periodic dielectric structures
(American Physical Society, 1990)Erratum correction in reference to Theory of Photon Bands in Three-Dimensional Periodic Dielectric Structures [Phys Rev. Lett. 64 1239 (1990)]. -
Exact Dynamical Exchange-Correlation Kernel of a Weakly Inhomogeneous Electron Gas
(American Physical Society, 2009)The dynamical exchange-correlation kernel fxc of a nonuniform electron gas is an essential input for the time-dependent density-functional theory of electronic systems. The long-wavelength behavior of this kernel is known ... -
Fluctuation-Driven Molecular Transport Through an Asymmetric Membrane Channel
(American Physical Society, 2004)Channel proteins that selectively conduct molecules across cell membranes often exhibit an asymmetric structure. By means of a stochastic model, we argue that channel asymmetry in the presence of nonequilibrium fluctuations, ... -
Geometry-Dependent Electronic Properties of Highly Fluorescent Conjugated Molecules
(American Physical Society, 2000)We present a combined experimental/theoretical study of the electronic properties of conjugated para- phenylene type molecules under high pressure up to 80 kbar. Pressure is used as a tool to vary the molecular geometry ... -
Influence of Quantum Size Effects on Island Coarsening
(American Physical Society, 2006)Surface x-ray scattering and scanning-tunneling microscopy experiments reveal novel coarsening behavior of Pb nanocrystals grown on Si 111 - 7 7 . It is found that quantum size effects lead to the breakdown of the ... -
Intramolecular and lattice melting in n-alkane monolayers : an analog of melting in lipid bilayers
(American Physical Society, 1999)Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and neutron diffraction experiments have been performed on n-dotriacontane ( n-C32D66) monolayers adsorbed on a graphite basal- plane surface. The diffraction experiments show little ... -
