Quick iterative scheme for the calculation of transfer matrices: application to Mo (100)

Abstract: The transfer matrix of a solid described by the stacking of principal layers is obtained by an iterative procedure which takes into account 2 layers after n iterations, in contrast to usual schemes where each iteration includes just one more layer. The Green function and density of states at the surface of the corresponding semi-infinite crystal are then given by well known formulae in terms of the transfer matrix. This method, especially convenient near singularities, is applied to the calculation of the spectral as well as the total densities of states for the (100) face of molybdenum. The Slater-Koster algorithm for the calculation of tight-binding parameters is used with a basis of nine orbitals per atom (4d, 5s, 5p). Surface states and resonances are first identified and then analysed into orbital components to find their dominant symmetry. Their evolution along the main symmetry lines of the two-dimensional Brillouin zone is given explicitly. The surface-state peak just below the Fermi level (Swanson hump) is not obtained. This is traced to the difficulty in placing an appropriate boundary condition at the surface with the tight-binding parameterisation scheme.

On pole assignment in multi-input controllable linear systems

Abstract: It is shown that controllability of an open-loop system is equivalent to the possibility of assigning an arbitrary set of poles to the transfer matrix of the closed-loop system, formed by means of suitable linear feedback of the state. As an application of this result, it is shown that an open-loop system can be stabilized by linear feedback if and only if the unstable modes of its system matrix are controllable. A dual of this criterion is shown to be equivalent to the existence of an observer of Luenberger's type for asymptotic state identification.
