We study a three dimensional Z(3)-symmetric effective theory of high temperature QCD. The exact lattice-continuum relations, needed in order to perform lattice simulations with physical parameters, are computed to order O(a 0) in lattice perturbation theory. Lattice simulations are performed to determine the phase structure of a subset of the parameter space. Z(3)-symmetric effective theory of ...

Three different film systems have been systematically investigated to understand the effects of strain and substrate constraint on the phase transitions of perovskite films. In SrTiO3 films, the phase transition temperature Tc was determined by monitoring the superlattice peaks associated with rotations of TiO6 octahedra. It is found that Tc depends on both SrTiO3 film thickness and SrRuO3 buff...

A generalised lattice Boltzmann algorithm for the flow of a nematic liquid crystal with variable order parameter. Abstract A lattice Boltzmann (LB) scheme is described which recovers the equations developed by Qian–Sheng for the hydrodynamics of a ne-matic liquid crystal with a tensor order parameter. The standard mesoscopic LB scalar density is generalised to a tensor quantity and the macrosco...

A new lattice model is presented for correlated electrons on the unrestricted 4-dimensional electronic Hilbert space ⊗n=1C (where L is the lattice length). It is a supersymmetric generalization of the Hubbard model, but differs from the extended Hubbard model proposed by Essler, Korepin and Schoutens. The supersymmetry algebra of the new model is superalgebra gl(2|1). The model contains one sym...

We extend the concept of manifold with boundary to weight and boundary weight functions. With the new concept, we obtained the double reciprocity laws for simplicial complexes, cubical complexes, and lattice polyhedra with weight functions. For a polyhedral manifold with boundary, if the weight function has the constant value 1, then the boundary weight function has the constant value 1 on the ...

The influence of lattice strain on non-stoichiometry and surface chemical composition was investigated for epitaxial Nd2NiO4+δ (NNO) films during annealing in ultra high vacuum (below 10 mbar) and temperatures of up to 700C. (100)and (001)-oriented films with tensile and compressive lattice strain along c-axis were fabricated using pulsed laser deposition method. A significant decrease in the c...

If the number of runs in a (mixed-level) orthogonal array of strength 2 is specified, what numbers of levels and factors are possible? The collection of possible sets of parameters for orthogonal arrays with N runs has a natural lattice structure, induced by the “expansive replacement” construction method. In particular the dual atoms in this lattice are the most important parameter sets, since...
