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 ...
However, to date, no three-dimensional (3D) problem has had a solution that is both complete and exact. [4] Over the last ten years, Aranovich and Donohue have developed lattice density functional theory (LDFT) based on a generalization of the Ono-Kondo equations to three-dimensions, and used the theory to model a variety of physical phenomena.
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 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]
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 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 Volterra lattice is the set of ordinary differential equations for functions a n: ′ = (+) where n is an integer. Usually one adds boundary conditions: for example, the functions a n could be periodic: a n = a n+N for some N, or could vanish for n ≤ 0 and n ≥ N.
The [100], [010] and the [1 1 0] directions are really similar. If S is the intercept of the plane with the [1 1 0] axis, then i = 1/S. There are also ad hoc schemes (e.g. in the transmission electron microscopy literature) for indexing hexagonal lattice vectors (rather than reciprocal lattice vectors or planes) with four indices. However they ...
