Lowest eigenvalues of random Hamiltonians

Abstract

In this paper we present results of the lowest eigenvalues of random Hamiltonians for both fermion and boson systems. We show that an empirical formula of evaluating the lowest eigenvalues of random Hamiltonians in terms of energy centroids and widths of eigenvalues are applicable to many different systems (except for d boson systems). We improve the accuracy of the formula by adding moments higher than two. We suggest another new formula to evaluate the lowest eigenvalues for random matrices with large dimensions (20-5000). These empirical formulas are shown to be applicable not only to the evaluation of the lowest energy but also to the evaluation of excited energies of systems under random two-body interactions.

Heterogeneous nucleation of/on nanoparticles: a density functional study using the phase-field crystal model

“…13 This prediction is consistent with molecular dynamics simulations for the Lennard-Jones system (where the stable phase is fcc), where the subcritical crystalline fluctuations have the metastable bcc structure, while the critical fluctuation has an fcc core surrounded by a bcc-like surface layer. 14 Composite bcc/fcc nuclei have also been predicted by the density functional theory 15 and a Ginzburg-Landau free energy based phase-field theory. 4 Experiments on globular proteins have shown that a metastable critical point in the supersaturated liquid may help the formation of crystal nuclei via liquid phase separation, leading to composite nuclei of crystal surrounded by dense liquid, 16 a finding recovered by computer simulations 17 and density functional/phasefield computations.…”

How random are matrix elements of the nuclear shell model Hamiltonian?

“…Papenbrock et al [2,5] suggested statistical correlation between the spectral radius and the spectral width in evaluating spin I ground state probability in the presence of random two-body interactions. Along the same line, Yoshinaga et al [6,7] studied the lowest energy of spin I states by the moments of energy spectra based on the fact that the eigenvalues of Hamiltonian under two-body random ensemble follow the Gaussian distribution [8,9] . Recently, we found linear (statistical) correlation between eigenvalues and diagonal matrix elements in the nuclear shell model Hamiltonian [10,11] .…”
