Predictions for Neutron Scattering and Photoemission Experiments on CuGeO_3

Abstract

Applying numerical techniques to a model recently proposed for the one dimensional spin-Peierls compound CuGeO_3, we calculate dynamical properties that can be directly compared with inelastic neutron scattering data and angle-resolved photoemission experiments. The momentum and energy dependence of the dynamical structure factor S(q,omega) are discussed, as well as the static structure factor S(q). The spectral function A(q,omega) calculated from the one particle Green's function at half-filling is shown at several values of the hole hopping amplitude t. The results have some unique features characteristic of one dimensional systems including small weight near the Fermi energy. The presence of ``shadow bands'' induced by short distance antiferromagnetic correlations is predicted to appear in ARPES experiments for CuGeO_3 and also for Sr_2CuO_3.

Spectral Representation for the Effective Macroscopic Response of a Polycrystal: Application to Third-Order Nonlinear Susceptibility

Erratum: In our paper, we show that the spectral representation for isotropic two-component composites also applies to uniaxial polycrystals. We have learned that this result was, in fact, first conjectured by G.W. Milton. While our derivation is more detailed, our result for the spectral function is the same as Milton's. We very much regret not having been aware of this work at the time of writing our paper. Original abstract: We extend the spectral theory used for the calculation of the effective linear response functions of composites to the case of a polycrystalline material with uniaxially anisotropic microscopic symmetry. As an application, we combine these results with a nonlinear decoupling approximation as modified by Ma et al., to calculate the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility of a uniaxial polycrystal, assuming that the effective dielectric function of the polycrystal can be calculated within the effective-medium approximation.

Towards quantum well hot hole lasers

It should be possible to improve hot-hole laser performance by moving from bulk materials to a quantum well structure. The extra design parameters enable us to alter the band structure by changing the crystal orientation of the growth direction; to use the well width to shift the subband offsets, enabling the effect of the LO phonon scattering cut-off to be controlled; and to use modulation doping to ensure a high hole concentration to increase the gain without the dopants being present in the gain region. We present the first simulations of THz quantum well hot-hole lasers that can produce inversion and optical gain.
