Field-Induced Magnetic Order and Simultaneous Lattice Deformation in TlCuCl3
We report the results of Cu and Cl nuclear magnetic resonance experiments
(NMR) and thermal expansion measurements in magnetic fields in the coupled
dimer spin system TlCuCl3. We found that the field-induced antiferromagnetic
transition as confirmed by the splitting of NMR lines is slightly
discontinuous. The abrupt change of the electric field gradient at the Cl
sites, as well as the sizable change of the lattice constants, across the phase
boundary indicate that the magnetic order is accompanied by simultaneous
lattice deformation.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Fourier transform absorption spectra of (H2O)-O-18 and (H2O)-O-17 in the 3v plus delta and 4v polyad region
Fourier transform absorption spectra of (H2O)-O-18-enriched and (H2O)-O-17-enriched water vapor in the 3v + delta and 4v polyad region have been analyzed. With the aid of theoretically calculated linelists, we have assigned 1014 lines attributed to (H2O)-O-18 and 836 lines of 855 attributed to (H2O)-O-17. Seven new band origins are found for (H2O)-O-17 and one for (H2O)-O-18. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved
Intrinsic Josephson Effect in the Layered Two-dimensional t-J Model
The intrinsic Josephson effect in the high-Tc superconductors is studied
using the layered two-dimensional t-J model. The d.c.Josephson current which
flows perpendicular to the t-J planes is obtained within the mean-field
approximation and the Gutzwiller approximation. We find that the Josephson
current has its maximum near the optimum doping region as a function of the
doping rate.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Macroscopic quantum tunneling and phase diffusion in a LaSrCuO intrinsic Josephson junction stack
We performed measurements of switching current distribution in a submicron
LaSrCuO (LSCO) intrinsic Josephson junction (IJJ) stack in a
wide temperature range. The escape rate saturates below approximately 2\,K,
indicating that the escape event is dominated by a macroscopic quantum
tunneling (MQT) process with a crossover temperature K. We
applied the theory of MQT for IJJ stacks, taking into account dissipation and
the phase re-trapping effect in the LSCO IJJ stack. The theory is in good
agreement with the experiment both in the MQT and in the thermal activation
regimes.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figure
Quantum Critical Point of the XY Model and Condensation of Field-Induced Quasiparticles in Dimer Compounds
The quantum critical point of the three-dimensional XY model in a
symmetry-preserving field is investigated. The results of Monte Carlo
simulations with the directed-loop algorithm show that the quantum critical
behavior is characterized by the mean-field values of critical exponents. The
system-size dependence of various quantities is compared to a simple
field-theoretical argument that supports the mean-field scaling
Non-Hermitian von Roos Hamiltonian's -weak-pseudo-Hermiticity, isospectrality and exact solvability
A complexified von Roos Hamiltonian is considered and a Hermitian first-order
intertwining differential operator is used to obtain the related position
dependent mass -weak-pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians. Using a
Liouvillean-type change of variables, the -weak-pseudo-Hermitian von Roos
Hamiltonians H(x) are mapped into the traditional Schrodinger Hamiltonian form
H(q), where exact isospectral correspondence between H(x) and H(q) is obtained.
Under a user-friendly position dependent mass settings, it is observed that for
each exactly-solvable -weak-pseudo-Hermitian reference-Hamiltonian
H(q)there is a set of exactly-solvable -weak-pseudo-Hermitian isospectral
target-Hamiltonians H(x). A non-Hermitian PT-symmetric Scarf II and a
non-Hermitian periodic-type PT-symmetric Samsonov-Roy potentials are used as
reference models and the corresponding -weak-pseudo-Hermitian isospectral
target-Hamiltonians are obtained.Comment: 11 pages, no figures
Early phase observations of extremely luminous Type Ia Supernova 2009dc
We present early phase observations in optical and near-infrared wavelengths
for the extremely luminous Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2009dc. The decline rate
of the light curve is , which is one of the
slowest among SNe Ia. The peak -band absolute magnitude is mag even if the host extinction is mag. It reaches
mag for the host extinction of mag as
inferred from the observed Na {\sc i} D line absorption in the host. Our
-band photometry shows that the SN is one of the most luminous SNe Ia
also in near-infrared wavelengths. These results indicate that SN 2009dc
belongs to the most luminous class of SNe Ia, like SN 2003fg and SN 2006gz. We
estimate the ejected Ni mass of \Msun for no host
extinction case (or 1.6 0.4 M for the host extinction of
mag). The C {\sc ii} 6580 absorption line keeps visible
until a week after maximum, which diminished in SN 2006gz before its maximum
brightness. The line velocity of Si {\sc ii} 6355 is about 8000 km
s around the maximum, being considerably slower than that of SN 2006gz,
while comparable to that of SN 2003fg. The velocity of the C {\sc ii} line is
almost comparable to that of the Si {\sc ii}. The presence of the carbon line
suggests that thick unburned C+O layers remain after the explosion. SN 2009dc
is a plausible candidate of the super-Chandrasekhar mass SNe Ia
Braneworld stars and black holes
We look for spherically symmetric star or black hole solutions on a
Randall-Sundrum brane from the perspective of the bulk. We take a known bulk
solution, and analyse possible braneworld trajectories within it that
correspond, from the braneworld point of view, to solutions of the brane
Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations. Our solutions are therefore embedded
consistently into a full bulk solution. We find the full set of static
gravitating matter sources on a brane in a range of bulk spacetimes, analyzing
which can correspond to physically sensible sources. Finally, we look at
time-dependent trajectories in a Schwarzschild--anti de Sitter spacetime as
possible descriptions of time-dependent braneworld black holes, highlighting
some of the general features one might expect, as well as some of the
difficulties involved in getting a full solution to the question.Comment: 39 pages, 15 figure
