ABSTRACTCollective excitations, such as plasmons, rotons, electron-hole liquid, and excitonic Molecules, have been extensively studied in condensed Matter.1 Wannier excitons in inorganic semiconductors are bound by the exchange interactions between two electrons of the exciton, and the bound state of More than two excitons is not possible. We demonstrate here a new type of collective excitations,2 bound states of Multiple charge-transfer (CT) excitons. Coulomb interactions in one dimension are shown to bind a train of several (More than two) CT excitons. Experimental evidence for these new type of elementary excitations is reported in a quasi-one-dimensional CT crystal of anthracene PMDA. High density excitation by femtosecond light pulses generates Multi-exciton chains, which we refer to as excitonic n-strings with n = 1, 2, 3, etc., along the stack axis of the crystal. Both the n = 2 excitonic string (biexciton) and the n = 3 string (tri-exciton) are observed. This report provides evidence for an n > 2 exciton chain in this system.2 The stability of the n-string exciton is supported by our theoretical calculations based on the extended Hubbard Hamiltonian in one dimension.

AbstractWe extend Panella and Roy’s [17] work for massless Dirac particles with position-dependent (PD) velocity. We consider Dirac particles where the mass and velocity are both position-dependent. Bound states in the continuum (BIC)-like and discrete bound state solutions are reported. It is observed that BIC-like solutions are not only feasible for the ultra-relativistic (massless) Dirac particles but also for Dirac particles with PDmass and PD-velocity that satisfy the condition m(x) v F2 (x) = A, where A ≥ 0 is constant. Dirac Pöschl-Teller and harmonic oscillator models are also reported.

We have investigated the two-magnon bound state spectrum of a ferromagnetically ordered system for which the Hamiltonian contains an anisotropic bilinear exchange term, an anisotropic biquadratic exchange term, and a single-ion anisotropy term. The bound states, labelled by a wave vector q which we have taken to be in the [111] direction, were calculated by using zero-temperature Green functions. The principal results are: (i) the existence of single-ion bound states in the absence of single-ion anisotropy and conversely, their absence in the presence of such anisotropy, in contrast to the case in which the exchange interactions are isotropic; (ii) the appearance of an S mode for values of q, [Formula: see text]; (iii) the ordering of bound states for isotropic exchange interactions wherein the S0 mode lies below the S1-mode, D-mode pair and where the S1 mode lies below (above) the D mode if they lie below (above) the band, no longer holds.

The threshold behaviour of negative eigenvalues for Schr\"{o}dinger operators of the type \[ H_\lambda=-\frac{d^2}{dx^2}+U+ \lambda\alpha_\lambda V(\alpha_\lambda \cdot) \] is considered. The potentials $U$ and $V$ are real-valued bounded functions of compact support, $\lambda$ is a positive parameter, and positive sequence $\alpha_\lambda$ has a finite or infinite limit as $\lambda\to 0$. Under certain conditions on the potentials there exists a bound state of $H_\lambda$ which is absorbed at the bottom of the continuous spectrum. For several cases of the limiting behaviour of sequence $\alpha_\lambda$, asymptotic formulas for the bound states are proved and the first order terms are computed explicitly.

The spectrum of finite-difference two-magnon operator is investigated for quantum S=1/2 chain with variable range exchange of the form h(j-k)∝ sinh -2a(j-k). It is found that usual bound state appears for some values of the total pseudomomentum of two magnons as for the Heisenberg chain with nearest-neighbor spin interaction. Besides this state, a new type of bound state with oscillating wave function appears at larger values of the total pseudomomentum.

We study the bound state problem for semirelativistic N attractive Dirac δ-potentials in one dimension. We give a sufficient condition for the Hamiltonian to have N bound states and give an explicit criterion for it.

Some photonic systems support bound states in the continuum (BICs) that have infinite lifetimes, although their frequencies and momenta are matched to vacuum modes. Using a prototypical system that can be treated analytically, we show that each of these BICs always splits into a pair of new type BIC and lasing threshold mode when a parity-time (PT)–symmetric perturbation is introduced. The radiation loss at the lasing threshold is exactly balanced by the net gain of the particles. These PT symmetry-induced BICs are different from ordinary BICs, as they can be excited by an external source but do not radiate, and they carry a different quality factor divergence rate from that of the ordinary BICs. While most of the attention of PT-symmetric systems is captured by the coalescence of modes at exceptional points, the splitting of ordinary BICs is a new phenomenon that illustrates the rich physics embedded in PT-symmetric systems.

Timber-concrete composite beams are a new type of structural element that is environmentally friendly. The structural efficiency of this kind of beam highly depends on the stiffness of the interlayer connection. The structural efficiency of the composite was evaluated by experimental and theoretical investigations performed on the relative horizontal slip and vertical uplift along the interlayer between composite’s timber and concrete slab. Differential equations were established based on a theoretical analysis of combination effects of interlayer slip and vertical uplift, by using deformation theory of elastics. Subsequently, the differential equations were solved and the magnitude of uplift force at the interlayer was obtained. It was concluded that the theoretical calculations were in good agreement with the results of experimentation.

We solve the one-dimensional time-independent Klein–Gordon equation in the presence of a smooth potential well. The bound state solutions are given in terms of the Whittaker [Formula: see text] function, and the antiparticle bound state is discussed in terms of potential parameters.
