We implement the rotationally-invariant formulation of the two-dimensional Hubbard model, with nearest-neighbors hopping t, which allows for the analytic study of the system in the low-energy limit. Both U(1) and SU(2) gauge transformations are
used to factorize the charge and spin contribution to the original electron operator in terms of the corresponding gauge fields.
The Hubbard Coulomb energy U-term is then expressed in terms of quantum phase variables conjugate to the local charge and variable spin quantization axis,
providing a useful representation of strongly correlated systems. It is shown that these gauge fields play a similar role
as phonons in the BCS theory: they act as the “glue” for fermion pairing. By tracing out gauge degrees of freedom the form
of paired states is established and the strength of the pairing potential is determined. It is found that the attractive pairing
potential in the effective low-energy fermionic action is non-zero in a rather narrow range of U/t. 相似文献

We describe here the realization of a single electron source similar to single photon sources in optics. On-demand single electron injection is obtained using a quantum dot connected to the conductor via a tunnel barrier of variable transmission (quantum point contact). Electron emission is triggered by a sudden change of the dot potential which brings a single energy level above the Fermi energy in the conductor. A single charge is emitted on an average time ranging from 100 ps to 10 ns ultimately determined by the barrier transparency and the dot charging energy. The average single electron emission process is recorded with a 0.5 ns time resolution using a real-time fast acquisition card. Single electron signals are compared to simulation based on scattering theory approach adapted for finite excitation energies. 相似文献

The cytotoxicity of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) suspended in various surfactants was investigated by phase contrast light microscopy characterization in combination with an absorbance spectroscopy cytotoxicity analysis. Our data indicate that individual SWCNTs suspended in the surfactants, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS), were toxic to 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells due to the toxicity of SDS and SDBS on the nanotube surfaces. This toxicity was observed when cells were exposed to an SDS or SDBS solution having a concentration as low as 0.05?mg?ml(-1) for 30?min. The proliferation and viability of the cells were not affected by SWCNTs alone or by conjugates of SWCNTs with various concentrations of sodium cholate (SC) or single-stranded DNA. The cells proliferated similarly to untreated cells when surrounded by SWCNTs as they grow, which indicated that the nanotubes did not affect cells adversely. The cytotoxicity of the nanotube-surfactant conjugates was controlled in these experiments by the toxicity of the surfactants. Consequently, when evaluating a surfactant to be used for the dispersion of nanoscale materials in applications such as nanoscale electronics or non-viral biomolecular transporters, the cytotoxicity needs to be evaluated. The methodology proposed in this study can be used to investigate the cytotoxicity of other nanoscale materials suspended in a variety?of?surfactants. 相似文献

A new hemodialysis membrane manufactured by a blend of polyethersulfone (PES) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was evaluated
in vitro and in vivo. Goat was selected as the experimental animal. The clearance and the reduction ratio after the hemodialysis
of small molecules (urea, creatinine, phosphate) for the PES membrane were higher in vitro than that in vivo. The reduction
ratio of β2-microglobulin was about 50% after the treatment for 4 h. The biocompatibility profiles of the membranes indicated slight
neutropenia and platelet adhesion at the initial stage of the hemodialysis. Electrolyte, blood gas, and blood biochemistry
were also analyzed before and after the treatment. The results indicated that PES hollow fiber membrane had a potential widely
use for hemodialysis. 相似文献

Microspheres have been prepared from the resorbable linear polyester of β-hydroxybutyric acid (polyhydroxybutyrate, PHB) by
the solvent evaporation technique and investigated in vitro and in vivo. Biocompatibility of the microspheres has been proved
in tests in the culture of mouse fibroblast cell line NIH 3T3 and in experiments on intramuscular implantation of the microspheres
to Wistar rats for 3 months. Tissue response to the implantation of polymeric microspheres has been found to consist in a
mild inflammatory reaction, pronounced macrophage infiltration that increases over time, involving mono- and poly-nuclear
foreign body giant cells that resorb the polymeric matrix. No fibrous capsules were formed around polymeric microparticles;
neither necrosis nor any other adverse morphological changes and tissue transformation in response to the implantation of
the PHB microparticles were recorded. The results of the study suggest that polyhydroxybutyrate is a good candidate for fabricating
prolonged-action drugs in the form of microparticles intended for intramuscular injection. 相似文献

We have fabricated intermetallic AuSn nanowires by electrochemical deposition in porous polycarbonate membranes. By controlling the deposition parameters, nanowires of a single intermetallic phase, namely AuSn, can be fabricated. AuSn nanowires are found to be crystalline and fairly resistant to oxidation. Electrical transport measurements on arrays of nanowires showed a superconducting transition temperature, T(c)~1.5?K. In addition, four-probe measurements were made on individual freestanding nanowires with electrodes formed by a focused ion beam (FIB). Results from the two sets of measurements are found to be in close agreement. 相似文献

A profound change occurs in the stability of quantized vortices in externally applied flow of superfluid 3He-B at temperatures ?0.6?T c, owing to the rapidly decreasing damping in vortex motion with decreasing temperature. At low damping an evolving vortex may become unstable and generate a new independent vortex loop. This single-vortex instability is the generic precursor of turbulence. We investigate the instability with non-invasive NMR measurements on a rotating cylindrical sample in the intermediate temperature regime (0.3–0.6)?T c. From comparisons with numerical calculations we interpret that the instability occurs at the container wall, when the vortex end moves along the wall in applied flow. 相似文献

Aim In the present study, we investigated the biodegradation of the fibers of chitosan and its acetylated derivatives in vitro
and in vivo.
Methods A series of chitosan fibers, with acetylation degrees of 7.7%, 21.6%, 40.9%, 61.2%, 82.5% and 93.4%, were obtained by acetylating
chitosan filament with acetic anhydride, and were investigated by FT-IR analysis, elemental analysis and scanning electron
microscopy analysis.
Results The in vitro experimental data indicated that the degradation rate of chitosan fiber was strongly dependent on the degree
of acetylation, and the degradation rate increased with an enhancement of the acetylation degree of chitosan fibers. In vivo
degradation experiment evaluated by light microscopy as well as scanning electron microscopy, was studied by implanting the
fibers between the two nerve stumps of the rat sciatic nerve gap (6 months). The findings demonstrated that acetylation degree
could influence the degradation rate of chitosan fibers in vivo.
Conclusion These results suggested that acetylated chitosan (chitin) fibers were more biodegradable than chitosan and the biodegradation
rate of chitin fiber can be controlled to desirable extent by the variation of acetylation degree. 相似文献

This work investigates the impact of chemical and physical treatments on biocompatibility for human bone/tendon tissues. Nontreated
and treated tissues were compared. In vitro testing assessed indirect and direct cytotoxicity. Tissues were subcutaneously
implanted in rats to assess the immunological, recolonization, and revascularization processes at 2–4 weeks postimplantation.
No significant cytotoxicity was found for freeze-dried treated bones and tendons in comparison to control. The cellular adhesion
was significantly reduced for cells seeded on these treated tissues after 24 h of direct contact. A significant cytotoxicity
was found for frozen treated bones in comparison to freeze-dried treated bones. Tissue remodeling with graft stability, no
harmful inflammation, and neo-vascularization was observed for freeze-dried chemically treated bones and tendons. Frozen-treated
bones were characterized by a lack of matrix recolonization at 4 weeks postimplantation. In conclusion, chemical processing
with freeze-drying of human tissues maintains in vitro biocompatibility and in vivo tissue remodeling for clinical application. 相似文献

Here we report measurement of the drag on a 3 mm oscillating sphere in superfluid 4He in the temperature range 1.6 K to 2.1 K. A Nb-Ti superconducting solenoid is used to suspend a niobium sphere; meanwhile a similar superconducting quadrupole magnet centers and helps to stabilize the ball at one location in the flow channel. The niobium sphere is levitated by the superconducting magnetic suspension system; then the oscillation is obtained by dropping the ball from one equilibrium point to a lower equilibrium point via reducing the levitating magnetic field. The sphere’s oscillation is then recorded with a high-speed CCD camera. The velocity of the sphere is obtained by comparing the images captured and the distance the sphere has moved with time. Drag force is calculated through its relation to the maximum velocity decay rate. The sphere is contained within a closed end channel that allows measurements in liquid or gaseous helium and vacuum. 相似文献

We report development of micro superconducting quantum interference device (μ-SQUID) magnetometers for investigation of quantum tunneling of magnetization in μm- and nm-size magnetic materials. Both high- and low-temperature superconductor (HTS and LTS) based μ-SQUID magnetometers were fabricated and a three dimensional magnetic coil system was constructed for this purpose. The HTS-μ-SQUIDs with a hole of 4×9 μm2 work at temperatures between 4.2 and 70 K and in magnetic fields up to 120 mT. A magnetization measurement of a ferrimagnetic micro-crystal was carried out at 35 K with an accuracy of 10?9 emu. The development of LTS-μ-SQUIDs has been started in order to study much smaller magnetic materials in a mK temperature range. We present a preliminary result on the LTS-μ-SQUID with a hole of 1×1 μm2. The critical current as a function of applied magnetic field shows the SQUID modulation at 4.2 K and up to 30 mT. The heat release associated with the present measurement method is estimated to be on the order of several microwatts. 相似文献

Quantum turbulence consists of a tangle of quantised vortex lines which interact via their self induced flow. At very low
temperatures there is no normal fluid component and no associated viscosity. These are very simple conditions in which to
study turbulence which might eventually lead to a better understanding of turbulence in general. There are a number of interesting
questions, such as how closely does quantum turbulence resemble classical turbulence and how does it decay in the absence
of the viscous dissipation. We have recently developed techniques for detecting quantum turbulence in superfluid 3He-B in the low temperature limit. Using a vibrating grid, we find an unexpected sharp transition to turbulence via the entanglement
of emitted vortex rings. Measurements also suggest that the quantum turbulence produced by the grid decays in a manner similar
to that expected for classical turbulence, but the decay rate appears to be governed by the circulation quantum rather than
viscosity.

Behaviour of the linear magneto-resistivity σ
xx
−1 of the surface-state electrons (SSE) exposed to the microwave radiation is studied in a wide temperature range which covers
both vapor-atom and ripplon scattering regimes. The microwaves induce the resonance transitions of SSE between two lowest
Rydberg states, and σ
xx
−1 is observed to vary in the vicinity of the resonance. In the vapor-atom scattering regime (T≳0.5 K), magneto-resistivity decreases at the resonance, while in ripplon scattering regime (T≲0.3 K) it rapidly increases with the microwave power in the given range of the pressing electric field. The observed variation
of σ
xx
−1, which under the conditions of our experiment is inversely proportional to the scattering rate, is attributed to the strong
heating of SSE. The heating results in the increase of electron temperature well above ambient temperature and in significant
thermal population of higher excited states. The theoretical predictions are found to be in good agreement with our experimental
results in the whole temperature range.

The whole collective mode spectrum in axial and planar phases of superfluid 3He with dispersion corrections is calculated for the first time. In axial A-phase the degeneracy of clapping modes depends on the direction of the collective mode momentum k with respect to the vector l (mutual orbital moment of Cooper pairs), namely: the mode degeneracy remains the same as in case of zero momentum k for k‖l only. For any other directions there is a threefold splitting of these modes, which reaches maximum for k ⊥ l. In planar 2D-phase, which exists in the magnetic field (at H>H C ) we find that for clapping modes the degeneracy depends on the direction of the collective mode momentum k with respect to the external magnetic field H, namely: the mode degeneracy remains the same as in case of zero momentum k for k‖H only. For any other directions different from this one (for example, for k ⊥ H) there is twofold splitting of these modes. The obtained results imply that new interesting features can be observed in ultrasound experiments in axial and planar phases: the change of the number of peaks in ultrasound absorption into clapping mode. One peak, observed for these modes by Ling et al. (J. Low Temp. Phys. 78:187, 1990), will split into two peaks in a planar phase and into three peaks in an axial phase under the change of ultrasound direction with respect to the external magnetic field H in a planar phase and with respect to the vector l in an axial phase. In planar phase, some Goldstone modes in the magnetic field become massive (quasi-Goldstone) and have a similar twofold splitting under the change of ultrasound direction with respect to the external magnetic field H. The obtained results as well will be useful under interpretation of the ultrasound experiments in axial and planar phases of superfluid 3He. 相似文献

We study pseudogap behaviors of ultracold Fermi gases in the BCS-BEC crossover region. We calculate the density of states (DOS), as well as the single-particle spectral weight, above the superfluid transition temperature T c including pairing fluctuations within a T-matrix approximation. We find that DOS exhibits a pseudogap structure in the BCS-BEC crossover region, which is most remarkable near the unitarity limit. We determine the pseudogap temperature T * at which the pseudogap structure in DOS disappears. We also introduce another temperature T ** at which the BCS-like double-peak structure disappears in the spectral weight. While one finds T *>T ** in the BCS regime, T ** becomes higher than T * in the crossover and BEC regime. We also determine the pseudogap region in the phase diagram in terms of temperature and pairing interaction. 相似文献

We study the coupled problem of deformation due to mechanical and thermal loading of a composite cylinder made up of two layers
of linear isotropic viscoelastic materials. The effect of a time-varying temperature field due to unsteady heat conduction
on the short term and long term material response is examined in terms of the stress, displacement, and strain fields. The
material properties of the two layers of the composite cylinder at any given location and time are assumed to depend on the
temperature at that location at that given instant of time. Sequentially coupled analyses of heat conduction and deformation
of the viscoelastic composite cylinder are carried out. Analytical solutions for the stress, strain and displacement fields
of the viscoelastic composite cylinder are obtained from the corresponding solution of the linear elasticity problem by applying
the Correspondence Principle. We examine the discontinuity in the hoop stress and the radial strain at the interface of the
two layers caused by mismatches in material properties, during transient heat conduction. We find that the discontinuities
change over time as the mismatch in the moduli of the two layers changes due to the material properties which are time-dependent.
We also investigate the effect of the thermal field on the time-dependent field variables in the composite body. 相似文献

We review the theory of relaxational kinetics of superfluid turbulence—a tangle of quantized vortex lines—in the limit of very low temperatures when the motion of vortices is conservative. While certain important aspects of the decay kinetics depend on whether the tangle is non-structured, like the one corresponding to the Kibble-Zurek picture, or essentially polarized, like the one that emulates the Richardson-Kolmogorov regime of classical turbulence, there are common fundamental features. In both cases, there exists an asymptotic range in the wavenumber space where the energy flux is supported by the cascade of Kelvin waves (kelvons)—precessing distortions propagating along the vortex filaments. At large enough wavenumbers, the Kelvin-wave cascade is supported by three-kelvon elastic scattering. At zero temperature, the dissipative cutoff of the Kelvin-wave cascade is due to the emission of phonons, in which an elementary process converts two kelvons with almost opposite momenta into one bulk phonon. Along with the standard set of conservation laws, a crucial role in the theory of low-temperature vortex dynamics is played by the fact of integrability of the local induction approximation (LIA) controlled by the parameter Λ=ln?(λ/a 0), with λ the characteristic kelvon wavelength and a 0 the vortex core radius. While excluding a straightforward onset of the pure three-kelvon cascade, the integrability of LIA does not plug the cascade because of the natural availability of the kinetic channels associated with vortex line reconnections. We argue that the crossover from Richardson-Kolmogorov to the Kelvin-wave cascade is due to eventual dominance of local induction of a single line over the collective induction of polarized eddies, which causes the breakdown of classical-fluid regime and gives rise to a reconnection-driven inertial range. 相似文献

In the paper we consider the unit commitment problem in oligopolistic markets. The formulation of the problem involves both
integer and continuous variables and nonlinear functions as well, thus yielding a nonlinear mixed variable programming problem.
Our formulation takes into account all technical constraints for the generating units, such as ramp rate and minimum up and
down time constraints, considers the uncertainty related to the selling prices and allows modeling their dependence on the
total output of a producer. The objective function is the expected value of the revenue over the different scenarios minus
a term which takes into account the risk related to the decision. To solve the problem we adopt a recently proposed method
for mixed integer nonlinear programming problems and use a derivative free algorithm to solve the continuous subproblems.
We report results for two operators: one managing a single unit and the other managing three units. Numerical results give
evidence to the features of the modeling and show viability of the adopted algorithm. 相似文献
