We studied the energy spectrum of two coupled XY spin-1/2 chains with different exchange integrals and inter-chain interaction of Ising type. The thorough analytical treatment of two-magnon states was given for finite and infinite lattice strips. To study the case of macroscopic number of inverted spins we used the corresponding density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) simulation. We also derived the self-consistent Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) estimates for the lowest energies of the system. The comparison of the BCS and the DMRG estimates has shown incorrect behaviour of the BCS approximation for energy as a function of the intra-chain exchange integrals. To use the analytical results for two-magnon bound states we proposed a simple approximate formula for the lowest n-magnon energies of an infinite ladder with a more correct dependence on model parameters.

The ground state spin ordering and lowest energy excitations of a model organic ferrimagnet-polyallyl spin chain
Cheranovskii, VO; Özkan, İlker (2001-01-01)
We studied zero-temperature magnetic ordering in a model organic ferrimagnet-polyallyl spin-1/2 chain as a function of the exchange integral lambda describing the interaction between spins of radical centers and the main chain. Exact diagonalization and density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) methods demonstrated that for small applied fields, the difference in zero-temperature magnetizations of the sublattices reaches a maximum value at lambda = 0.70. It was shown that there is a critical value of magn...
The electronic band structure of III (in, al, ga)-v (n, as, sb) compounds and ternary alloys
Mohammad, Rezek Mahmoud Salim; Katırcıoğlu, Şenay; Department of Physics (2005)
In this work, the electronic band structure of III (In, Al, Ga) - V (N, As, Sb) compounds and their ternary alloys have been investigated by density functional theory (DFT) within generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and empirical tight binding (ETB) calculations, respectively. The present DFT-GGA calculations have shown direct band gap structures in zinc-blende phase for InN, InAs, InSb, GaN, and GaAs. However, indirect band gap structures have been obtained for cubic AlN, AlSb and AlAs com- pounds; he...
The differential quadrature solution of nonlinear reaction-diffusion and wave equations using several time-integration schemes
Meral, Gulnihal; Tezer, Münevver (Wiley, 2011-04-01)
Three different time-integration schemes, namely the finite difference method (FDM) with a relaxation parameter, the least-squares method (LSM) and the finite element method (FEM), are applied to the differential quadrature (DQM) solution of one-dimensional nonlinear reaction-diffusion and wave equations. In the solution procedure, the space derivatives are discretized using DQM, which may also be used without the need of boundary conditions. The aim of the paper is to find computationally more efficient ti...
The DRBEM solution of incompressible MHD flow equations
Bozkaya, Nuray; Tezer, Münevver (Wiley, 2011-12-10)
This paper presents a dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) formulation coupled with an implicit backward difference time integration scheme for the solution of the incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow equations. The governing equations are the coupled system of Navier-Stokes equations and Maxwell's equations of electromagnetics through Ohm's law. We are concerned with a stream function-vorticity-magnetic induction-current density formulation of the full MHD equations in 2D. The stream f...
The comparison between the DRBEM and DQM solution of nonlinear reaction-diffusion equation
MERAL, GÜLNİHAL; Tezer, Münevver (Elsevier BV, 2011-10-01)
In this study, both the dual reciprocity boundary element method and the differential quadrature method are used to discretize spatially, initial and boundary value problems defined by single and system of nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations. The aim is to compare boundary only and a domain discretization method in terms of accuracy of solutions and computational cost. As the time integration scheme, the finite element method is used achieving solution in terms of time block with considerably large time ...
