    Dynamical mean field theory with the density matrix renormalization group

    Full text link
    A new algorithm to solve the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) equations of strongly correlated models exploiting the DMRG methodology was presented. The methods uses the density matrix renormalization group technique to solve the associated impurity problem. In contrast with NRG, this algorithms deals with all energy scales on equal footing, which allowed to find substructure in the Hubbard bands of the correlated metallic state. It was observed that with this algorithm, more complex models having a large number of degrees of freedom could be considered and finite-size effects could be minimized.Fil: Garcia, Daniel Julio.

    Quantum Phase Transition Between One-channel and Two-channel Kondo Polarons

    Full text link
    For a mobile spin-1/2 impurity, coupled antiferromagnetically to a one-dimensional gas of fermions, perturbative ideas have been used to argue in favor of two-channel Kondo behavior of the impurity spin. Here we combine general considerations and extensive numerical simulations to show that the problem displays a novel quantum phase transition between two-channel and one-channel Kondo screening upon increasing the Kondo coupling. We construct a ground-state phase diagram and discuss the various nontrivial crossovers as well as possible experimental realizations.Fil: Rincón, Julián. Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

    Improved parallelization techniques for the density matrix renormalization group

    Full text link
    A distributed-memory parallelization strategy for the density matrix renormalization group is proposed for cases where correlation functions are required. This new strategy has substantial improvements with respect to previous works. A scalability analysis shows an overall serial fraction of 9.4% and an efficiency of around 60% considering up to eight nodes. Sources of possible parallel slowdown are pointed out and solutions to circumvent these issues are brought forward in order to achieve a better performance.Fil: Rincón, Julián.

    Evidence of a low energy anisotropy in GdCoIn5

    Full text link
    We investigate the effects of an applied magnetic field on the magnetic properties of the antiferromagnet GdCoIn5. The prominent anisotropy observed in the susceptibility below TN is rapidly suppressed by a field of just a few Tesla. Further evidence of this low energy-scale is obtained from magnetoresistance and magnetostriction experiments. The lattice length, particularly, shows a sudden change below 2 T when the magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the crystallographic c^-axis.Fil: Betancourth Giraldo, Diana Maria.

    Magnetoelectric coupling on fused azulene oligomers

    Full text link
    The global magnetic phase diagram for fused azulene oligomers is obtained by using a fermionic Hubbard model, which is an intermediate between the molecular Pariser-Parr-Pople empiric Hamiltonian and the spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model. We employ the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) approach to explore the ground state properties of azulene-like molecules as a function of the electronic correlation and the oligomer size. It is shown that, depending on the length of the oligomer, fused azulene transitions from a singlet (S=0) to a higher-spin (S=1,2) ground state. Near the quantum magnetic phase transition the electric dipole moment, present on fused azulene molecules, couples with the magnetic moment leading to a divergent magnetoelectric susceptibility at the boundary lines of the magnetic phase diagram. These spontaneous electric and magnetic polarizations, together with the magnetoelectric coupling between them, indeed corroborate that these fused azulene oligomers can be viewed as a purely organic multiferroic material, being a magnetoelectric molecule.Fil: Valentim, Alexandra.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    Full text link
    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods
