In some cases, the Schrödinger equation can be solved analytically on a one-dimensional lattice of finite length [6] [7] using the theory of periodic differential equations. [8] The length of the lattice is assumed to be L = N a {\displaystyle L=Na} , where a {\displaystyle a} is the potential period and the number of periods N {\displaystyle ...
In physics, the Bethe ansatz is an ansatz for finding the exact wavefunctions of certain quantum many-body models, most commonly for one-dimensional lattice models.It was first used by Hans Bethe in 1931 to find the exact eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the one-dimensional antiferromagnetic isotropic (XXX) Heisenberg model.
In mathematical physics, a lattice model is a mathematical model of a physical system that is defined on a lattice, as opposed to a continuum, such as the continuum of space or spacetime. Lattice models originally occurred in the context of condensed matter physics , where the atoms of a crystal automatically form a lattice.
The Toda lattice, introduced by Morikazu Toda , is a simple model for a one-dimensional crystal in solid state physics. It is famous because it is one of the earliest examples of a non-linear completely integrable system. It is given by a chain of particles with nearest neighbor interaction, described by the Hamiltonian
In condensed matter physics, the Su–Schrieffer–Heeger (SSH) model or SSH chain is a one-dimensional lattice model that presents topological features. [1] It was devised by Wu-Pei Su, John Robert Schrieffer, and Alan J. Heeger in 1979, to describe the increase of electrical conductivity of polyacetylene polymer chain when doped, based on the existence of solitonic defects.
In the crystal, the potential has the periodicity, a, of the lattice while close to the surface it has to somehow attain the value of the vacuum level. The step potential (solid line) shown in Figure 1 is an oversimplification which is mostly convenient for simple model calculations. At a real surface the potential is influenced by image ...
Schematic geometric solutions of the mathematical Thomson Problem for up to N = 5 electrons. Mathematically exact minimum energy configurations have been rigorously identified in only a handful of cases. For N = 1, the solution is trivial. The single electron may reside at any point on the surface of the unit sphere.
In condensed matter physics, Anderson localization (also known as strong localization) [1] is the absence of diffusion of waves in a disordered medium. This phenomenon is named after the American physicist P. W. Anderson, who was the first to suggest that electron localization is possible in a lattice potential, provided that the degree of randomness (disorder) in the lattice is sufficiently ...
