We study the thermodynamic properties of modified spin-$S$ Kitaev models introduced by Baskaran, Sen and Shankar (Phys. Rev. B 78, 115116 (2008)). These have property that for half-odd-integer spins their eigenstates map on to those spin-1/2 models, with well-known highly entangled quantum spin-liquid states Majorana fermions. For integer spins, Hamiltonian is made out commuting local operators...

finding a representative fluid in a hydrocarbon reservoir is crucial for integrated reservoir management. in this study, a systematic approach for screening and selecting consistent fluid samples in a reservoir was developed. the model integrated quality control (qc) of well conditioning before sampling, qc of pvt data, thermodynamic modeling and compositional gradient within a reservoir. well ...

adsorption and desorption behavior of gd(iii) ionon macroporous weak acid resin (mwar) had been investigated.the influence of operational conditions such as contact time, initial concentration of gd(iii) ion, initial ph of solution and temperature on the adsorption of gd(iii) ion had been examined. experimental data were exploited for kinetic and thermodynamic evaluations related to the adsorpt...

The aggregation behavior of anionic Cobalt(II) 4,4′,4ʺ,4‴-tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine, [Co(TSPc)4-] was studied at its various concentrations and different ionic strengths using optical absorption and resonance light scattering (RLS) spectroscopies in 5 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.0 at 25 °C. The results show no aggregation behavior at concentration range of 5.1 × 10-6-7....

We consider the thermodynamic behavior of a disordered interacting electron system in two dimensions. We show that the corrections to the thermodynamic potential in the weakly localized regime give rise to a non monotonic behavior of the speciic heat both in temperature and magnetic eld. From this eeect we predict the appearance of adiabatic hysteresis in the magnetoconductance. Our results can...

Motivated by the intrinsic non-Fermi-liquid behavior observed in the heavy-fermion quasicrystal Au51Al34Yb15, we study the low-temperature behavior of dilute magnetic impurities placed in metallic quasicrystals. We find that a large fraction of the magnetic moments are not quenched down to very low temperatures T, leading to a power-law distribution of Kondo temperatures P(T(K))∼T(K)(α-1), with...

The pressure–composition (PC) behavior of deuterium in single crystal Pd has been measured over a temperature range extending from room temperature to 393 K. These data allow the determination of (i) relative partial molar enthalpy and entropy, without the contribution of the configuration entropy, for the dilute solid solution phase, (ii) enthalpy and entropy change characterizing the a→a9 pha...
