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 ...
Gold deposited on a stepped Si(553) surface has shown evidence of two simultaneous Peierls transitions. The lattice period is distorted by factors of 2 and 3, and energy gaps open for nearly 1/2-filled and 1/3–1/4 filled bands. The distortions have been studied and imaged using LEED and STM, while the energy bands were studied with ARP. [9]
In computer science, lattice problems are a class of optimization problems related to mathematical objects called lattices.The conjectured intractability of such problems is central to the construction of secure lattice-based cryptosystems: lattice problems are an example of NP-hard problems which have been shown to be average-case hard, providing a test case for the security of cryptographic ...
In 1925, Ising [2] gave an exact solution to the one-dimensional (1D) lattice problem. In 1944 Onsager [3] was able to get an exact solution to a two-dimensional (2D) lattice problem at the critical density. However, to date, no three-dimensional (3D) problem has had a solution that is both complete and exact. [4]
Transfer-matrix methods have been critical for many exact solutions of problems in statistical mechanics, including the Zimm–Bragg and Lifson–Roig models of the helix-coil transition, transfer matrix models for protein-DNA binding, as well as the famous exact solution of the two-dimensional Ising model by Lars Onsager.
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. [1]
This is shown in Fig 1 for a 1D lattice as an example. Atomistic scale modeling is needed to calculate this distortion near the defect, [13] [14] whereas the continuum model is used to calculate the distortion far away from the defect. The MSGF links these two scales seamlessly. Fig. 1 – A one-dimensional lattice with full translational symmetry.
The main problem of quantum many-body physics is the fact that the Hilbert space grows exponentially with size. In other words if one considers a lattice, with some Hilbert space of dimension on each site of the lattice, then the total Hilbert space would have dimension , where is the number of sites on the lattice.
