    The key question of this letter is whether the K-nucleus optical potential is deep, as it is prefered by the phenomenological fits to kaonic atoms data, or shallow, as it comes out from unitary chiral model calculations. The current experimental situation is reviewed.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figure.

    Correlation length of the 1D Hubbard Model at half-filling : equal-time one-particle Green's function

    Full text link
    The asymptotics of the equal-time one-particle Green's function for the half-filled one-dimensional Hubbard model is studied at finite temperature. We calculate its correlation length by evaluating the largest and the second largest eigenvalues of the Quantum Transfer Matrix (QTM). In order to allow for the genuinely fermionic nature of the one-particle Green's function, we employ the fermionic formulation of the QTM based on the fermionic R-operator of the Hubbard model. The purely imaginary value of the second largest eigenvalue reflects the k_F (= pi/2) oscillations of the one-particle Green's function at half-filling. By solving numerically the Bethe Ansatz equations with Trotter numbers up to N=10240, we obtain accurate data for the correlation length at finite temperatures down into the very low temperature region. The correlation length remains finite even at T=0 due to the existence of the charge gap. Our numerical data confirm Stafford and Millis' conjecture regarding an analytic expression for the correlation length at T=0.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figure

    Antikaons in nuclei and dense nuclear matter

    Full text link
    We present recent progress on the properties of antikaons in nuclei and dense nuclear matter as obtained from two {\bar K}N interaction models: one based on the lowest-order meson-baryon chiral lagrangian and the other derived from a meson-exchange picture.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures.

    Room temperature and low-field resonant enhancement of spin Seebeck effect in partially compensated magnets

    Full text link
    Resonant enhancement of spin Seebeck effect (SSE) due to phonons was recently discovered in Y3Fe5O12 (YIG). This effect is explained by hybridization between the magnon and phonon dispersions. However, this effect was observed at low temperatures and high magnetic fields, limiting the scope for applications. Here we report observation of phonon-resonant enhancement of SSE at room temperature and low magnetic field. We observed in Lu2BiFe4GaO12 and enhancement 700 % greater than that in a YIG film and at very low magnetic fields around 10-1 T, almost one order of magnitude lower than that of YIG. The result can be explained by the change in the magnon dispersion induced by magnetic compensation due to the presence of non-magnetic ion substitutions. Our study provides a way to tune the magnon response in a crystal by chemical doping with potential applications for spintronic devices.Comment: 17 pages, 4 figure

    Effective Potential and Thermodynamics for a Coupled Two-Field Bose Gas Model

    Full text link
    We study the thermodynamics of a two-species homogeneous and dilute Bose gas that is self-interacting and quadratically coupled to each other. We make use of field theoretical functional integral techniques and evaluate the one-loop finite temperature effective potential for this system considering the resummation of the leading order temperature dependent as well as infrared contributions. The symmetry breaking pattern associated to the model is then studied by considering different values of self and inter-species couplings. We pay special attention to the eventual appearance of reentrant phases and/or shifts in the observed critical temperatures as compared to the monoatomic (one-field Bose) case.Comment: 21 pages, 4 eps figure
