Temperature induced in-gap states in the band structure and the insulator-metal transition in LaCoO3

For many years a spin-state transition at $T \approx 100 K$ and insulator - metal transition (IMT) at $T_{IMT} \approx 600 K$ in LaCoO$_3 $ remains a mystery. Small low-spin - high-spin spin gap $Δ_S = E\left( {HS} \right) - E\left( {LS} \right) \sim 100 K$ results in the spin-state transition. The large charge gap $2E_a \approx 2300 K$ ($E_a $ is the activation energy) vs. $Δ_S $ and $T_{IMT} $ implies that LaCoO$_3 $ is not a simple narrow-gap semiconductor. Here we explain both the spin-state and IMT on the same footing. We obtain strong temperature dependent band structure in LaCoO$_3 $ by the LDA+GTB method that incorporates strong electron correlations, covalence and spin-orbital interaction exactly inside the CoO$_6 $ cluster and the interclaster hopping between different multielectron configurations by perturbation theory for Hubbard X-operators.

Mediatic graphs

Any medium can be represented as an isometric subgraph of the hypercube, with each token of the medium represented by a particular equivalence class of arcs of the subgraph. Such a representation, although useful, is not especially revealing of the structure of a particular medium. We propose an axiomatic definition of the concept of a `mediatic graph'. We prove that the graph of any medium is a mediatic graph. We also show that, for any non-necessarily finite set S, there exists a bijection from the collection M of all the media on a given set S (of states) onto the collection G of all the mediatic graphs on S.

Search for Free Decay of Negative Pions in Water and Light Materials

We report on a search for the free decay component of pi- stopped in water and light materials. A non-zero value of this would be an indication of anomalous nu_e contamination to the nu_e and nu_mu_bar production at stopped-pion neutrino facilities. No free decay component of pi- was observed in water, Beryllium, and Aluminum, for which upper limits were established at 8.2E-4, 3.2E-3, and 7.7E-3, respectively.

Integral representation of one dimensional three particle scattering for delta function interactions

The Schrödinger equation, in hyperspherical coordinates, is solved in closed form for a system of three particles on a line, interacting via pair delta functions. This is for the case of equal masses and potential strengths. The interactions are replaced by appropriate boundary conditions. This leads then to requiring the solution of a free-particle Schrödinger equation subject to these boundary conditions. A generalized Kontorovich - Lebedev transformation is used to write this solution as an integral involving a product of Bessel functions and pseudo-Sturmian functions. The coefficient of the product is obtained from a three-term recurrence relation, derived from the boundary condition. The contours of the Kontorovich-Lebedev representation are fixed by the asymptotic conditions. The scattering matrix is then derived from the exact solution of the recurrence relation. The wavefunctions that are obtained are shown to be equivalent to those derived by McGuire. The method can clearly be applied to a larger number of particles and hopefully might be useful for unequal masses and potentials.

Coupling angle resolved photoemission data and quasiparticle structure in antiferromagnetic insulators Sr2CuO2Cl2 and Ca2CuO2Cl2

We have analyzed the quasiparticle dispersion and ARPES-spectral density for Sr2CuO2Cl2 and Ca2CuO2Cl2 antiferromagnetic insulators along basic symmetric directions of the Brillouin zone (BZ) in a framework of an extended tight binding method (ETBM) with explicit account for intracell strong electron correlations. The quasiparticle dispersion is in a good agreement with ARPES- data. At the top of valence band we found a narrow impurity-like virtual level with the spectral weight proportional to the concentration of spin fluctuations. A pseudogap between the virtual level and the top of the valence band has dispersion similar to 'remnant Fermi surface' in Ca2CuO2Cl2 and to a pseudogap in the underdoped Bi2212 samples. A calculated parity of the polarized ARPES-spectra in (0,0),(pi/2,pi/2),(pi,0) - points in the AFM- phase is even with regard to relative magnitudes of the partial contributions by different orbitals to the total ARPES- spectral density. Conditions of an observability for the different partial contributions in the polarized ARPES- experiments are determined also.
