New mechanism for the enhancement of sd dominance in interacting boson models

Abstract:
We introduce an exactly solvable model for interacting bosons that extend up to high spin and interact through a repulsive pairing force. The model exhibits a phase transition to a state with almost complete sd dominance. The repulsive pairing interaction that underlies the model has a natural microscopic origin in the Pauli exclusion principle between constituent nucleons. As such, repulsive pairing between bosons seems to provide a new mechanism for the enhancement of sd dominance, giving further support for the validity of the sd interacting boson model.

The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...

Electron affinity in semiconductors refers to the energy gap between the minimum of its conduction band and the vacuum level and it is a critical parameter in determining how easily a semiconductor can accept additional electrons.
