We exploit rotational-symmetry breaking in the one-body density to examine the formation of structures in systems of N strongly coupled charged bosons with logarithmic repulsions inside isotropic two-dimensional harmonic traps, with N in the range from 2 to 7. The results serve as a map for ordered arrangements of vortices in a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate. Two types of N-body wavefunctions are assumed: (i) a permanent |ψ WM of N identical Gaussian orbitals centred at variationally determined sites, and (ii) a permanent |ψ SM of N orthogonal orbitals built from harmonic-oscillator energy eigenstates. With increasing coupling strength, the bosons in the |ψ WM orbitals localize into polygonal-ringlike crystalline patterns ('Wigner molecules'), whereas the wavefunctions |ψ SM describe low energy excited states containing delocalized bosons as in supersolid crystallites ('supermolecules'). For N = 2 at strong coupling both states describe a Wigner dimer.
ABSTRA CT -The design and operation technique for a stable capacitance control in piezoelectric RF MEMS tunable capacitors have been investigated. Four folded-beam capacitors composed of piezoelectric aluminum nitride thin films were integrated in the quadruple capacitor and each folded-beam capacitor showed uniform operation voltage of less than 3V. A stable multi-step capacitance control was realized with the binary voltage operation at +/-3V, where each capacitor could be handled at binary state of capacitance due to its saturation characteristics. Eight levels of capacitance value up to 1.5pF with a step of O.13pF to O.16pF were realized.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
