LOFF Pairing vs. Breached Pairing in Asymmetric Fermion Superfluids
A general analysis for the competition between breached pairing (BP) and LOFF
pairing mechanisms in asymmetric fermion superfluids is presented in the frame
of a four fermion interaction model. Two physical conditions which can induce
mismatched Fermi surfaces are considered: (1) fixed chemical potential
asymmetry and (2) fixed fermion number asymmetry . In case
(1), the BP state is ruled out because of Sarma instability and LOFF state is
thermodynamically stable in a narrow window of . In case (2), while
the Sarma instability can be avoided and both the BP and LOFF states can
survive provided is less than the corresponding critical value, the BP
state suffers magnetic instability and the LOFF state is always
thermodynamically stable. While the LOFF window in case (2) is much larger than
the one in the conventional case (1), for small the longitudinal
superfluid density of the LOFF state is negative and it suffers also magnetic
instability.Comment: 12 pages, 13 figures, published in Physical Review B. Notice: an

Geometric Mean Neutrino Mass Relation
Present experimental data from neutrino oscillations have provided much
information about the neutrino mixing angles. Since neutrino oscillations only
determine the mass squared differences , the
absolute values for neutrino masses can not be determined using data just
from oscillations. In this work we study implications on neutrino masses from a
geometric mean mass relation which enables one to
determined the absolute masses of the neutrinos. We find that the central
values of the three neutrino masses and their errors to be , , and . Implications for cosmological observation, beta decay and
neutrinoless double beta decays are discussed.Comment: 7 pages. Talk given at COSPA06. A reference adde
Mitigation of Side-Effect Modulation in Optical OFDM VLC Systems
Side-effect modulation (SEM) has the potential to be a significant source of
interference in future visible light communication (VLC) systems. SEM is a
variation in the intensity of the light emitted by a luminaire and is usually a
side-effect caused by the power supply used to drive the luminaires. For LED
luminaires powered by a switched mode power supply, the SEM can be at much
higher frequencies than that emitted by conventional incandescent or
fluorescent lighting. It has been shown that the SEM caused by commercially
available LED luminaires is often periodic and of low power. In this paper, we
investigate the impact of typical forms of SEM on the performance of optical
OFDM VLC systems; both ACO-OFDM and DCO-OFDM are considered. Our results show
that even low levels of SEM power can significantly degrade the bit-error-rate
performance. To solve this problem, an SEM mitigation scheme is described. The
mitigation scheme is decision-directed and is based on estimating and
subtracting the fundamental component of the SEM from the received signal. We
describe two forms of the algorithm; one uses blind estimation while the other
uses pilot-assisted estimation based on a training sequence. Decision errors,
resulting in decision noise, limit the performance of the blind estimator even
when estimation is based on very long signals. However, the pilot system can
achieve more accurate estimations, thus better performance. Results are first
presented for typical SEM waveforms for the case where the fundamental
frequency of the SEM is known. The algorithms are then extended to include a
frequency estimation step and the mitigation algorithm is shown also to be
effective in this case
Intrinsic Anomalous Hall Effect in Magneto-Chiral States
We show that a finite Hall effect in zero applied magnetic field occurs for
partially filled bands in certain time-reversal violating states with zero net
flux per unit-cell. These states are the Magneto-chiral states with parameters
in the effective one-particle Hamiltonian such that they do not satisfy the
Haldane-type constraints for topological electronic states. The results extend
an earlier discussion of the Kerr effect observed in the cuprates but may be
applicable to other experimental situations.Comment: published versio
Constraints on the phase and new physics from Decays
Recent results from CLEO on indicate that the phase may
be substantially different from that obtained from other fit to the KM matrix
elements in the Standard Model. We show that extracted using is sensitive to new physics occurring at loop level. It provides
a powerful method to probe new physics in electroweak penguin interactions.
Using effects due to anomalous gauge couplings as an example, we show that
within the allowed ranges for these couplings information about
obtained from can be very different from the Standard
Model prediction.Comment: Revised version with analysis done using new data from CLEO. RevTex,

Revisiting f(R) gravity models that reproduce CDM expansion
We reconstruct an gravity model that gives rise to the particular
CDM background evolution of the universe. We find well-defined,
real-valued analytical forms for the model to describe the universe both
in the early epoch from the radiation to matter dominated eras and the late
time acceleration period. We further examine the viability of the derived
model and find that it is viable to describe the evolution of the
universe in the past and there does not exist the future singularity in the
Lagrangian.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures, revised version, accepted for publication in PR

In this paper we investigate the possibility of studying form
factor using the semi-inclusive decays . In general
semi-inclusive decays involve several hadronic parameters. But for
decays we find that in the factorization
approximation, the only unknown hadronic parameters are the form factors
. Therefore these form factors can be studied in decays. Using theoretical model calculations for the form
factors the branching ratios for and
, with the cut GeV, are
estimated to be in the ranges of and ,
respectively, depending on the value of . The combined branching ratio
for is about and is insensitive to . We also discuss CP
asymmetries in these decay modes.Comment: RevTex 8 pages and two figure
(13)C NMR investigation of the superconductor MgCNi_3 up to 800K
We report (13)C NMR characterization of the new superconductor MgCNi_3 (He et
al., Nature (411), 54 (2001)). We found that both the uniform spin
susceptibility and the spin fluctuations show a strong enhancement with
decreasing temperature, and saturate below ~50K and ~20K respectively. The
nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/(13)T_1T exhibits typical behaviour for
isotropic s-wave superconductivity with a coherence peak below Tc=7.0K that
grows with decreasing magnetic field.Comment: Accepted for publication in Physical Review Letter
Spin relaxation and coherence times for electrons at the Si/SiO2 interface
While electron spins in silicon heterostructures make attractive qubits,
little is known about the coherence of electrons at the Si/SiO2 interface. We
report spin relaxation (T1) and coherence (T2) times for mobile electrons and
natural quantum dots at a 28Si/SiO2 interface. Mobile electrons have short T1
and T2 of 0.3 us at 5 K. In line with predictions, confining electrons and
cooling increases T1 to 0.8 ms at 350 mK. In contrast, T2 for quantum dots is
around 10 us at 350 mK, increasing to 30 us when the dot density is reduced by
a factor of two. The quantum dot T2 is shorter than T1, indicating that T2 is
not controlled by T1 at 350 mK but is instead limited by an extrinsic
mechanism. The evidence suggests that this extrinsic mechanism is an exchange
interaction between electrons in neighboring dots.Comment: Extended with more experiments and rewritten. 6 pages, 5 figures, to
be submitted to Phys. Rev.
