In the paper a theoretical study the both the quantized energies of excitonic states and their wave functions in grapheneand in materials with "Mexican hat" band structure dispersion as well as in zinc-blende GaN is presented. An integral twodimensionalSchrödinger equation of the electron-hole pairing for a particles with electron-hole symmetry of reflection isexactly solved. The solutions of Schrödinger equation in momentum space in studied materials by projection the twodimensionalspace of momentum on the three-dimensional sphere are found exactly. We analytically solve an integral twodimensionalSchrödinger equation of the electron-hole pairing for particles with electron-hole symmetry of reflection. Instudied materials the electron-hole pairing leads to the exciton insulator states. Quantized spectral series and lightabsorption rates of the excitonic states which distribute in valence cone are found exactly. If the electron and hole areseparated, their energy is higher than if they are paired. The particle-hole symmetry of Dirac equation of layered materialsallows perfect pairing between electron Fermi sphere and hole Fermi sphere in the valence cone and conduction cone andhence driving the Cooper instability. The solutions of Coulomb problem of electron-hole pair does not depend from a widthof band gap of graphene. It means the absolute compliance with the cyclic geometry of diagrams at justification of theequation of motion for a microscopic dipole of graphene where >1 s r . The absorption spectrums for the zinc-blendeGaN/(Al,Ga)N quantum well as well as for the zinc-blende bulk GaN are presented. Comparison with availableexperimental data shows good agreement.

<p>1D-3D methods are used to describe root water and nutrient uptake in complex root networks. Root systems are described as networks of line segments embedded in a three-dimensional soil domain. Particularly for dry soils, local water pressure and nutrient concentration gradients can be become very large in the vicinity of roots. Commonly used discretization lengths (for example 1cm) in root-soil interaction models do not allow to capture these gradients accurately. We present a new numerical scheme for approximating root-soil interface fluxes. The scheme is formulated in the continuous PDE setting so that is it formally independent of the spatial discretization scheme (e.g. FVM, FD, FEM). The interface flux approximation is based on a reconstruction of interface quantities using local analytical solutions of the steady-rate Richards equation. The local mass exchange is numerically distributed in the vicinity of the root. The distribution results in a regularization of the soil pressure solution which is easier to approximate numerically. This technique allows for coarser grid resolutions while maintaining approximation accuracy. The new scheme is verified numerically against analytical solutions for simplified cases. We also explore limitations and possible errors in the flux approximation with numerical test cases. Finally, we present the results of a recently published benchmark case using this new method.</p>

Abstract An efficient method inspired by the traditional body of revolution finite-difference time-domain (BOR-FDTD) method is developed to solve the Schrodinger equation for rotationally symmetric problems. As test cases, spherical, cylindrical, cone-like quantum dots, harmonic oscillator, and spherical quantum dot with hydrogenic impurity are investigated to check the efficiency of the proposed method which we coin as Quantum BOR-FDTD (Q-BOR-FDTD) method. The obtained results are analysed and compared to the 3-D FDTD method, and the analytical solutions. Q-BOR-FDTD method proves to be very accurate and time and memory efficient by reducing a three-dimensional problem to a two-dimensional one, therefore one can employ very fine meshes to get very precise results. Moreover, it can be exploited to solve problems including hydrogenic impurities which is not an easy task in the traditional FDTD calculation due to singularity problem. To demonstrate its accuracy, we consider spherical and cone-like core-shell QD with hydrogenic impurity. Comparison with analytical solutions confirms that Q-BOR–FDTD method is very efficient and accurate for solving Schrodinger equation for problems with hydrogenic impurity

Band Case

We show that a one-dimensional analytical study allows us to test and clarify the derivation, assumptions, and symmetry properties of the intervalley effective mass equation (IVEME). In particular, we show that the IVEME is consistent with a two-band case, and is in fact exact for a model that satisfies exactly all its assumptions. On the other hand, an alternative formulation in k-space that includes intervalley kinetic energy terms is consistent with a one-band case, provided that intra-valley kinetic energy terms are also calculated consistent with one band. We also show that the standard symmetry assumptions for both real space and k-space formulations are not actually exact, but are consistent with a "total symmetric" projection, or with taking spherical averages in a three-dimensional case.
