Collective Excitations, NMR, and Phase Transitions in Skyrme Crystals
At Landau level filling factors near nu =1, quantum Hall ferromagnets form a
Skyrme crystal state with quasi-long-range translational and non-collinear
magnetic order. We develop an effective low energy theory which explains the
presence in these systems of magnetic excitations at low energies below the
Larmor gap (Delta) and which predicts a dramatic enhancement of the nuclear
spin relaxation rate by a factor of 1000. The effective theory predicts a rich
set of quantum and classical phase transitions. Based in part on accurate
time-dependent Hartree-Fock calculations of the ordered state collective
excitation spectrum, we discuss aspects of the T-nu-Delta crystal phase
diagram.Comment: 4 pages REVTEX file and 3 postscript figure
Phases of the 2D Hubbard model at low doping
We show that the planar spiral phase of the 2D Hubbard model at low doping,
x, is unstable towards a noncoplanar spin configuration. The novel equilibrium
state we found at low doping is incommensurate with the inverse pitch of the
spiral varying as x^(1/2), but nevertheless has a dominant peak in the
susceptibility at (\pi,\pi). Relevance to the NMR and neutron scattering
experiments in La_2-xSr_xCuO_4 is disccussed.Comment: 12 pages, emtex v.3.
Management of incidentally detected heart murmurs in dogs and cats
A dog or a cat has an incidentally detected heart murmur if the murmur is an unexpected discovery during a veterinary consultation that was not initially focused on the cardiovascular system. This document presents approaches for managing dogs and cats that have incidentally-detected heart murmurs, with an emphasis on murmur characteristics, signalment profiling, and multifactorial decision-making to choose an optimal course for a given patient
A Megacam Survey of Outer Halo Satellites. IV. Two foreground populations possibly associated with the Monoceros substructure in the direction of NGC2419 and Koposov2
The origin of the Galactic halo stellar structure known as the Monoceros ring
is still under debate. In this work, we study that halo substructure using deep
CFHT wide-field photometry obtained for the globular clusters NGC2419 and
Koposov2, where the presence of Monoceros becomes significant because of their
coincident projected position. Using Sloan Digital Sky Survey photometry and
spectroscopy in the area surrounding these globulars and beyond, where the same
Monoceros population is detected, we conclude that a second feature, not likely
to be associated with Milky Way disk stars along the line-of-sight, is present
as foreground population. Our analysis suggests that the Monoceros ring might
be composed of an old stellar population of age t ~ 9Gyr and a new component ~
4Gyr younger at the same heliocentric distance. Alternatively, this detection
might be associated with a second wrap of Monoceros in that direction of the
sky and also indicate a metallicity spread in the ring. The detection of such a
low-density feature in other sections of this halo substructure will shed light
on its nature.Comment: 10 pages, 10 figures, accepted for publication in Ap
Photoassociative spectroscopy at long range in ultracold strontium
We report photoassociative spectroscopy of Sr in a magneto-optical
trap operating on the intercombination line at 689 nm.
Photoassociative transitions are driven with a laser red-detuned by 600-2400
MHz from the atomic resonance at 461 nm. Photoassociation
takes place at extremely large internuclear separation, and the
photoassociative spectrum is strongly affected by relativistic retardation. A
fit of the transition frequencies determines the atomic lifetime
( ns) and resolves a discrepancy between experiment and
recent theoretical calculations.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, submitte
