Quantum impurity on the surface of a topological insulatorMar 29 2010Feb 04 2011It is shown that the Hamiltonian for a quantum magnetic impurity on the surface of a topological insulator can be mapped to the conventional pseudo-gap Anderson impurity model, albeit with the combinations of continuum states which hybridize with the ...

More Link prediction in Foursquare networkFeb 11 2016Foursquare is an online social network and can be represented with a bipartite network of users and venues. A user-venue pair is connected if a user has checked-in at that venue. In the case of Foursquare, network analysis techniques can be used to enhance ...

As a corollary, we prove that for any integers $k\geq 2$ and ...

More Properties of anisotropic magnetic impurities on surfacesSep 04 2008Using numerical renormalization group techniques, we study static and dynamic properties of a family of single-channel Kondo impurity models with axial magnetic anisotropy $DS_z^2$ terms; such models are appropriate to describe magnetic impurity atoms ... More Ground state of the parallel double quantum dot systemNov 18 2011We resolve the controversy regarding the ground state of the parallel double quantum dot system near half filling. The numerical renormalization group (NRG) predicts an underscreened Kondo state with residual spin-1/2 magnetic moment, ln 2 residual impurity ... More Conflict-Free Coloring of String GraphsDec 12 2017Jan 18 2019Conflict-free coloring (in short, CF-coloring) of a graph $G = (V,E)$ is a coloring of $V$ such that the neighborhood of each vertex contains a vertex whose color differs from the color of any other vertex in that neighborhood. Bounds on CF-chromatic ... More Superconductivity in the Kondo lattice modelAug 28 2009We study the Kondo lattice model with additional attractive interaction between the conduction electrons within the dynamical mean-field theory using the numerical renormalization group to solve the effective quantum impurity problem.

More Sedna and the Oort Cloud Around a Migrating SunAug 07 2011Recent numerical simulations have demonstrated that the Sun's dynamical history within the Milky Way may be much more complex than that suggested by its current low peculiar velocity. In particular, the Sun may have radially migrated through the galactic ... More Two-Impurity Yu-Shiba-Rusinov States in Coupled Quantum DotsDec 21 2018Using Coulomb blockaded double quantum dots, we realize the superconducting analog of the celebrated two-impurity Kondo model. Focusing on gate regions with a single spin-1/2 on each dot, we demonstrate gate-tuned changes of the ground state from an interdot ... More Spin thermopower in the overscreened Kondo modelJul 08 2013We study the spin thermopower in the two-channel spin-1/2 Kondo model which exhibits the phenomenon of impurity spin overscreening and non-Fermi-liquid properties. While magnetic field lower than the Kondo temperature does not strongly polarize the impurity ... More SU(3) Kondo effect in spinless triple quantum dotsAug 11 2012Aug 30 2012We discuss a device --- a purely capacitively coupled interacting spinless triple quantum dot system --- for the observation of the SU(3) Kondo effect. Unlike more familiar SU(2) and SU(4) Kondo effects in quantum dot devices which lead to unitary linear ...

More Cyclic colorings of plane graphs with independent facesNov 17 2008Let G be a plane graph with maximum face size D. If all faces of G with size four or more are vertex disjoint, then G has a cyclic coloring with D+1 colors, i.e., a coloring such that all vertices incident with the same face receive distinct colors. Spin-thermopower in interacting quantum dotsSep 14 2011Feb 16 2012Using analytical arguments and the numerical renormalization group method we investigate the spin-thermopower of a quantum dot in a magnetic field. In the particle-hole symmetric situation the temperature difference applied across the dot drives a pure ...
