Thermodynamic limit for a system with dipole-dipole interactions

Entangling dipole-dipole interactions for quantum logic with neutral atoms

We study a means of creating multiparticle entanglement of neutral atoms using pairwise controlled dipoledipole interactions. For tightly trapped atoms the dipolar interaction energy can be much larger than the photon scattering rate and substantial coherent evolution of the two-atom state can be achieved before decoherence occurs. Excitation of the dipoles can be made conditional on the atomic...

Dipole-dipole interactions in nanoparticle superlattices.

Nanoparticles often self-assemble into hexagonal-close-packed (hcp) structures although it is predicted to be less stable than face-centered-cubic (fcc) packing in hard-sphere models. In addition to close-packed fcc and hcp superlattices, we observe formation of nonclose-packed simple-hexagonal (sh) superlattices of nearly spherical PbS, PbSe, and gamma-Fe2O3 nanocrystals. This surprisingly ric...

Collapse of Bose-Einstein condensates with dipole-dipole interactions

Bose-Einstein condensation of dilute trapped atomic gases @1,2# essentially depends on the interparticle interactions. In most experiments so far the dominated interactions have been short-range van der Waals forces which are characterized by the s-wave scattering length a. Spatially homogeneous condensates with positive scattering length ~repulsive interaction! are stable while condensates wit...

Computer simulations of two-dimensional melting with dipole-dipole interactions.

We perform molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations of two-dimensional melting with dipole-dipole interactions. Both static and dynamic behaviors are examined. In the isotropic liquid phase, the bond orientational correlation length xi 6 and susceptibility chi 6 are measured, and the data are fitted to the theoretical ansatz. An algebraic decay is detected for both spatial and temporal bo...
