Binding energies of excitons trapped by ionized donors in semiconductors

Using the hyperspherical adiabatic approach in a coupled-channel calculation, we present precise binding energies of excitons trapped by impurity donors in semiconductors within the effective-mass approximation. Energies for such three-body systems are presented as a function of the relative electron-hole mass sigma in the range 1 less than or equal to1/sigma less than or equal to6, where the Born-Oppenheimer approach is not efficiently applicable. The hyperspherical approach leads to precise energies using the intuitive picture of potential curves and nonadiabatic couplings in an ab initio procedure. We also present an estimation for a critical value of sigma (sigma (crit)) for which no bound state can be found. Comparisons are given with results of prior work by other authors.

Q-deformed fermionic Lipkin model at finite temperature

The interplay between temperature and q-deformation in the phase transition properties of many-body systems is studied in the particular framework of the collective q-deformed fermionic Lipkin model. It is shown that in phase transitions occuring in many-fermion systems described by su(2)q-like models are strongly influenced by the q-deformation.

Nonlocal description of the nucleus-nucleus interaction

A parameter-free nonlocal double-folding-inspired interaction is proposed for the nucleus-nucleus systems. Excellent reproductions of elastic scattering differential cross section data were obtained for several systems over a wide range of bombarding energies. Our results should be of value in the description of the scattering of other many-body systems.

Renormalization of the one-pion-exchange interaction

A renormalization scheme for the nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction based on a subtracted T-matrix equation is proposed and applied to the one-pion-exchange potential supplemented by contact interactions. The singlet and triplet scattering lengths are given to fix the renormalized strengths of the contact interactions. With only one scaling parameter (μ), the results show an overall very good agreement with neutron-proton data, particularly for the observables related to the triplet channel. The agreement is qualitative in the 1 S0 channel. Between the low-energy NN observables we have examined, the mixing parameter of the 3S1-3D1 states is the most sensitive to the scale. The scheme is renormalization group invariant for μ → ∞. © 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Dynamical calculation of direct muon-transfer rates from thermalized muonic hydrogen to C6+ and O8+

Moun-transfer reactions from muonic hydrogen to carbon and oxygen nuclei employing a full quantum-mechanical few-body description of rearrangement scattering were studied by solving the Faddeev-Hahn-type equations using close-coupling approximation. The application of a close-coupling-type ansatz led to satisfactory results for direct muon-transfer reactions from muonic hydrogen to C6+ and O8+.

Scaling predictions for radii of weakly bound triatomic molecules

The mean-square radii of the triatomic molecules 4He 3, 4He 2- 6Li, 4He 2- 7Li, and 4He 2- 23Na were calculated using a renormalized three-body model with a pairwise Dirac-δ interaction, having as physical inputs only the values of the binding energies of the diatomic and triatomic molecules. Molecular three-body systems with bound subsystems were considered. The resultant data were analyzed in detail.

Dynamics characterization of modified Gross-Pitaevskii equation

The dynamics of dissipative and coherent N-body systems, such as a Bose-Einstein condensate, which can be described by an extended Gross-Pitaevskii formalism, is investigated. In order to analyze chaotic and unstable regimes, two approaches are considered: a metric one, based on calculations of Lyapunov exponents, and an algorithmic one, based on the Lempel-Ziv criterion. The consistency of both approaches is established, with the Lempel-Ziv algorithmic found as an efficient complementary approach to the metric one for the fast characterization of dynamical behaviors obtained from finite sequences. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

Investigação dos prejuízos motores decorrentes da exposição crônica ao etanol, em ratas intoxicadas da adolescência à fase adulta

De acordo com a Organização Mundial da Saúde, o etanol é a droga psicotrópica mais utilizada em todo mundo, ocupando hoje um lugar de destaque por já ser considerado um problema de saúde pública em todo o mundo. Seu consumo pesado está em alta dentre adolescentes, a partir de 15 anos, e adultos jovens Uma grande variedade de pesquisas relacionam seus efeitos nocivos a diversos órgãos e sistemas do organismo, bem como prejuízos e degeneração de estruturas do Sistema Nervoso central, sendo o cerebelo um de seus principais alvos, seja pela afinidade dessa substância por estruturas celulares seja pela capacidade de gerar uma cascata de processos deletérios. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar alterações comportamentais, associadas ao cerebelo, em ratas intoxicadas cronicamente por etanol da adolescência a fase adulta. Ratas com 35 dias de vida pós-natal receberam, durante 55 dias, etanol por meio de gavagem. Após esse período de intoxicação, os animais passaram por uma bateria de testes para avaliar déficits motores. Os testes comportamentais consistiram Open Field, Pole Test, Beam Walking e Rota-rod. Os resultados demonstraram que os animais expostos ao etanol apresentaram déficits motores em todos os testes comportamentais. Embora vários mecanismos estejam associados à degeneração cerebelar, estudos mais aprofundados devem ser realizados para investigar o verdadeiro efeito desta droga e sua correlação aos resultados obtidos nesta pesquisa.
