Nature 632 267(2024)]. Despite this important progress, it was observed that the AFM structure factor(and also the critical entropy) reaches its maximum at an interaction strength U/t■11.75, which is significantly larger than the theoretical prediction of U/t■8. Here,we resolve this discrepancy by studying the interplay between the thermal entropy, density disorder, and antiferromagnetism in the half-filled 3D Hubbard model, using numerically exact auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We have achieved an accurate entropy phase diagram, enabling us to simulate arbitrary entropy path on the temperature-interaction plane and track experimental parameters effectively. We find that above the discrepancy can be quantitatively explained by the entropy increase associated with increasing interaction strength in experiments, and together with the lattice density disorder present in the experimental setup. We further investigate the entropy dependence of double occupancy and predict universal behaviors that could serve as valuable probes in future optical lattice experiments.展开更多

The objective of this study is to use an accurate and efficient fitting of the repulsive energy instead of using standard parametrizations. The investigation is based on Density Functional Theory and Tight Binding simulations. Our objective is not only to capture the values of the repulsive terms but also to efficiently reproduce the elastic properties and the forces. The elasticity values determine the rigidity of a material when some traction or load is applied on it. The pair-potential is based on an exponential term corrected by B-spline terms. In order to accelerate the computations, one uses a hierarchical optimization for the B-splines on different levels. Carbon graphenes constitute the configurations used in the simulations. We report on some results to show the efficiency of the B-splines on different levels.展开更多

In healthy joints, the cartilage (AC) surface coated with phospholipid multi-bilayers is activated by the lamellar-repulsive-slippage lubrication mechanism. Hydrophilic and negatively charged (--) natural cartilage surface is covered by phospholipid bilayers. These phospholipids have been demonstrated to exert highly desirable characteristics on the surface of articular cartilage such as efficient lubrication, load processing, and semi-permeability for nutrient transport. We attempt to demonstrate phospholipids involvement in boundary lubrication of articular cartilage by: 1) the surface amorphous layer (SAL);2) negatively charged surface;3) lamellar-repulsive lubrication;and 4) lamellar-slippage mechanism in (cartilage/cartilage) pair lubrication. The secret of the super low friction and wear between the cartilage-bearing surfaces is lamellar-repulsive and slippage mechanism of lubrication. We also present the evidence that the superficial phospholipid bilayer covering the articular surface of cartilage has a primary function of creating a hydrophilic surface with wetting properties, and hence, of controlling interfacial properties under 7.4 pH values. We conclude that lamellar bilayers slippage, as well as the short-range repulsion between the interfaces of the negatively charged (-) cartilage surfaces, is a primary determinant of the low frictional properties of the joint.展开更多
