Uma solução híbrida para a equação de Fokker-Planck dependente da energia usando a técnica da transformada de Laplace e diferenças finitas

Neste trabalho é obtida uma solução híbrida para a equação de Fokker-Planck dependente da energia, muito utilizada em problemas de implantação iônica. A idéia consiste na aplicação da transformada de Laplace na variável de energia e aplicação de um esquema de diferenças finitas nas variáveis espacial e angular desta equação. Tal procedimento gera um problema matricial simbólico para a energia transformada. Para resolver este sistema, procede-se a inversão de Laplace da matriz (sI+A), onde s é um parâmetro complexo, I a matriz identidade e A uma matriz quadrada gerada pela discretização das variáveis espacial e angular. A matriz A não é diagonalizável, desta forma, contorna-se este problema decompondo esta matriz na soma de outras duas, onde uma delas é diagonalizável. É gerado então um método iterativo de inversão, semelhante ao método da fonte fixa associado ao método de diagonalização, do qual o resultado fornecido são os valores para o fluxo de partículas do sistema. A partir disto pode-se determinar a energia depositada no sistema eletrônico e nuclear do alvo. Para validar os resultados obtidos faz-se a simulação de implantação de íons de B em Si numa faixa energética de 1keV a 50MeV, comparam-se os resultados com simulação gerada numericamente pelo software SRIM2003.

On the entropy operator for the general SU(1,1) TFD formulation

In this Letter, an entropy operator for the general unitary SU(1, 1) TFD formulation is proposed and used to lead a bosonic system from zero to finite temperature. Namely, considering the closed bosonic string as the target system, the entropy operator is used to construct the thermal vacuum. The behaviour of such a state under the breve conjugation rules is analyzed and it was shown that the breve conjugation does not affect the thermal effects. From this thermal vacuum the thermal energy, the entropy and the free energy of the closed bosonic string are calculated and the appropriated thermal distribution for the system is found after the free energy minimization.

Massive superstring vertex operator in D=10 superspace

Using the pure spinor formalism for the superstring, the vertex operator for the first massive states of the open superstring is constructed in a manifestly super-Poincare covariant manner. This vertex operator describes a massive spin-two multiplet in terms of ten-dimensional superfields.

Entanglement and entropy operator for strings in pp-wave time dependent background

In this Letter new aspects of string theory propagating in a pp-wave time dependent background with a null singularity are explored. It is shown the appearance of a 2d entanglement entropy dynamically generated by the background. For asymptotically flat observers, the vacuum close to the singularity is unitarily inequivalent to the vacuum at tau = -infinity and it is shown that the 2d entanglement entropy diverges close to this point. As a consequence. The positive time region is inaccessible for observers in tau = -infinity. For a stationary measure, the vacuum at finite time is seen by those observers as a thermal state and the information loss is encoded as a heat bath of string states. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Tunneling time through a barrier using the local value of a time operator

A time for a quantum particle to traverse a barrier is obtained for stationary states by setting the local value of a time operator equal to a constant. This time operator, called the tempus operator because it is distinct from the time of evolution, is defined as the operator canonically conjugate to the energy operator. The local value of the tempus operator gives a complex time for a particle to traverse a barrier. The method is applied to a particle with a semiclassical wave function, which gives, in the classical limit, the correct classical traversal time. It is also applied to a quantum particle tunneling through a rectangular barrier. The resulting complex tunneling time is compared with complex tunneling times from other methods.

On the N=2 superstring BRST operator

We show that the BRST charge for the N = 2 superstring system can be written as Q = e(-R)(phi dz/2 pi ib gamma(+)gamma(-))e(R), when b and gamma(+/-) are super-reparametrizations ghosts. This provides a trivial proof of the nilpotence of this operator. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier B.V. B.V. All rights reserved.

Operator ordering in quantum radiative processes

In this work we reexamine quantum electrodynamics of atomic electrons in the Coulomb gauge in the dipole approximation and calculate the shift of atomic energy levels in the context of Dalibard, Dupont-Roc and Cohen-Tannoudji formalism by considering the variation rates of physical observable. We then analyze the physical interpretation of the ordering of operators in the dipole approximation interaction Hamiltonian in terms of field fluctuations and self-reaction of atomic electrons, discussing the arbitrariness in the statistical functions in second-order bound-state perturbation theory.

An exact equation for the free surface of a fluid in a porous medium

We study the problem of the evolution of the free surface of a fluid in a saturated porous medium, bounded from below by a. at impermeable bottom, and described by the Laplace equation with moving-boundary conditions. By making use of a convenient conformal transformation, we show that the solution to this problem is equivalent to the solution of the Laplace equation on a fixed domain, with new variable coefficients, the boundary conditions. We use a kernel of the Laplace equation which allows us to write the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator, and in this way we are able to find an exact differential-integral equation for the evolution of the free surface in one space dimension. Although not amenable to direct analytical solutions, this equation turns out to allow an easy numerical implementation. We give an explicit illustrative case at the end of the article.

PHENOMENOLOGICAL APPLICATION OF THE PROJECTION-OPERATOR METHOD AND ITS CONNECTION WITH CRITICAL-DYNAMICS

We consider the dynamics of a system of interacting spins described by the Ginzburg-Landau Hamiltonian. The method used is Zwanzig's version of the projection-operator method, in contrast to previous derivations in which we used Mori's version of this method. It is proved that both methods produce the same answer for the Green's function. We also make contact between the projection-operator method and critical dynamics.

PATH INTEGRAL AND OPERATOR APPROACH FOR THE PODOLSKY-SCHWINGER MODEL

We study the role of the thachyonic excitation which emerges from the quantum electrodynamics in two dimensions with Podolsky term. The quantization is performed by using path integral framework and the operator approach.

Operator formulation of q-deformed dual string model

We present an operator formulation of the q-deformed dual string model amplitude using an infinite set of q-harmonic oscillators. The formalism attains the crossing symmetry and factorization and allows to express the general n-point function as a factorized product of vertices and propagators.

Unitary Operator Bases and Q-deformed Algebras

Starting from the Schwinger unitary operator bases formalism constructed out of a finite dimensional state space, the well-known q-deformed commutation relation is shown to emerge in a natural way, when the deformation parameter is a root of unity.

A note on the superstring BRST operator

We write the BRST operator of the N = 1 superstring as, Q = e-R(1/2πiφdzγ2b)eR where y and b are super-reparameterization ghosts. This provides a trivial proof that Q is nilpotent. © 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
