    Anderson localization of elementary excitations in a one dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate

    Full text link
    We study the elementary excitations of a transversely confined Bose-Einstein condensate in presence of a weak axial random potential. We determine the localization length (i) in the hydrodynamical low energy regime, for a domain of linear densities ranging from the Tonks-Girardeau to the transverse Thomas-Fermi regime, in the case of a white noise potential and (ii) for all the range of energies, in the ``one-dimensional mean field regime'', in the case where the randomness is induced by a series of randomly placed point-like impurities. We discuss our results in view of recent experiments in elongated BEC systems.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figures. Final printed versio

    ATM Locator

    In this paper, we focus on an automated teller machineintegrated with ATM locator device. When particular ATM is not working it helps you to find the closest ATMs that can provide surcharge free cash withdrawals for your Money Pass network card. It also finds the direction to nearby ATMs using built in GPS (global positioning system). The GPS will give you the accurate location of your nearby ATMs. Since no ATM had this option if we implement this it will benefit the card holders and customer satisfaction level will be increased

    Coulomb parameters and photoemission for the molecular metal TTF-TCNQ

    Full text link
    We employ density-functional theory to calculate realistic parameters for an extended Hubbard model of the molecular metal TTF-TCNQ. Considering both intra- and intermolecular screening in the crystal, we find significant longer-range Coulomb interactions along the molecular stacks, as well as inter-stack coupling. We show that the long-range Coulomb term of the extended Hubbard model leads to a broadening of the spectral density, likely resolving the problems with the interpretation of photoemission experiments using a simple Hubbard model only.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure

    Coupled atomic-molecular condensates in a double-well potential: decaying molecular oscillations

    Full text link
    We present a four-mode model that describes coherent photo-association (PA) in a double-well Bose-Einstein condensate, focusing on the averageaverage molecular populations in certain parameters. Our numerical results predict an interesting strong-damping effect of molecular oscillations by controlling the particle tunnellings and PA light strength, which may provide a promising way for creating a stable molecular condensate via coherent PA in a magnetic double-well potential.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, submitte

    Generic theory of active polar gels: a paradigm for cytoskeletal dynamics

    Full text link
    We develop a general theory for active viscoelastic materials made of polar filaments. This theory is motivated by the dynamics of the cytoskeleton. The continuous consumption of a fuel generates a non equilibrium state characterized by the generation of flows and stresses. Our theory can be applied to experiments in which cytoskeletal patterns are set in motion by active processes such as those which are at work in cells.Comment: 28 pages, 2 figure

    Structures of the f0(980)f_0(980), a0(980)a_0(980) mesons and the strong coupling constants gf0K+Kg_{f_0 K^+ K^-}, ga0K+Kg_{a_0 K^+ K^-} with the light-cone QCD sum rules

    In this article, with the assumption of explicit isospin violation arising from the f0(980)a0(980)f_0(980)-a_0(980) mixing, we take the point of view that the scalar mesons f0(980)f_0(980) and a0(980)a_0(980) have both strange and non-strange quark-antiquark components and evaluate the strong coupling constants gf0K+Kg_{f_0 K^+ K^-} and ga0K+Kg_{a_0 K^+ K^-} within the framework of the light-cone QCD sum rules approach. The large strong scalar-KKKK couplings through both the nnˉn\bar{n} and ssˉs\bar{s} components gf0K+Knˉng^{\bar{n}n}_{f_0 K^+ K^-}, gf0K+Ksˉsg^{\bar{s}s}_{f_0 K^+ K^-}, ga0K+Knˉng^{\bar{n}n}_{a_0 K^+ K^-} and ga0K+Ksˉsg^{\bar{s}s}_{a_0 K^+ K^-}will support the hadronic dressing mechanism, furthermore, in spite of the constituent structure differences between the f0(980)f_0(980) and a0(980)a_0(980) mesons, the strange components have larger strong coupling constants with the K+KK^+K^- state than the corresponding non-strange ones, gf0K+Ksˉs2gf0K+Knˉng_{f_0 K^+ K^-}^{\bar{s}s}\approx \sqrt{2}g_{f_0 K^+ K^-}^{\bar{n}n} and ga0K+Ksˉs2ga0K+Knˉng_{a_0 K^+ K^-}^{\bar{s}s}\approx \sqrt{2} g_{a_0 K^+ K^-}^{\bar{n}n}. From the existing controversial values, we can not reach a general consensus on the strong coupling constants gf0K+Kg_{f_0 K^+ K^-}, ga0K+Kg_{a_0 K^+ K^-} and the mixing angles.Comment: 14 pages; Revised versio

    The phase of the sigma -> pi-pi amplitude in J/Psi -> omega-pi-pi

    Full text link
    The phase variation of the sigma -> pi-pi amplitude is accurately determined as a function of mass from BES II data for J/Psi -> omega-pi-pi. The determination arises from interference with the strong b1(1235)-pi amplitude. The observed phase variation agrees within errors with that in pi-pi elastic scattering.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, Euro. Phys. J C (in press

    Ground State Properties of an Asymmetric Hubbard Model for Unbalanced Ultracold Fermionic Quantum Gases

    Full text link
    In order to describe unbalanced ultracold fermionic quantum gases on optical lattices in a harmonic trap, we investigate an attractive (U<0U<0) asymmetric (ttt_\uparrow\neq t_\downarrow) Hubbard model with a Zeeman-like magnetic field. In view of the model's spatial inhomogeneity, we focus in this paper on the solution at Hartree-Fock level. The Hartree-Fock Hamiltonian is diagonalized with particular emphasis on superfluid phases. For the special case of spin-independent hopping we analytically determine the number of solutions of the resulting self-consistency equations and the nature of the possible ground states at weak coupling. Numerical results for unbalanced Fermi-mixtures are presented within the local density approximation. In particular, we find a fascinating shell structure, involving normal and superfluid phases. For the general case of spin-dependent hopping we calculate the density of states and the possible superfluid phases in the ground state. In particular, we find a new magnetized superfluid phase.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figure
