A new approach of analyzing GRB light curves
We estimated the Txx quantiles of the cumulative GRB light curves using our
recalculated background. The basic information of the light curves was
extracted by multivariate statistical methods. The possible classes of the
light curves are also briefly discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 8 figure
Improved Measure of Local Chirality
It is popular to probe the structure of the QCD vacuum indirectly by studying
individual fermion eigenmodes, because this provides a natural way to filter
out UV fluctuations. The double-peaking in the distribution of the local chiral
orientation parameter (X) has been offered as evidence, by some, in support of
a particular model of the vacuum. Here we caution that the X-distribution
peaking varies significantly with various versions of the definition of X.
Furthermore, each distribution varies little from that resulting from a random
reshuffling of the left-handed (and independently the right-handed) fields,
which destroys any QCD-induced left-right correlation; that is, the
double-peaking is mostly a phase-space effect. We propose a new universal
definition of the X parameter whose distribution is uniform for randomly
reshuffled fields. Any deviations from uniformity for actual data can then be
directly attributable to QCD-induced dynamics. We find that the familiar double
peak disappears.Comment: Lattice 2004(topology), Fermilab, June 21-26, 2004; 3 pages, 4

Failure of mean-field approach in out-of-equilibrium Anderson model
To explore the limitations of the mean field approximation, frequently used
in \textit{ab initio} molecular electronics calculations, we study an
out-of-equilibrium Anderson impurity model in a scattering formalism. We find
regions in the parameter space where both magnetic and non-magnetic solutions
are stable. We also observe a hysteresis in the non-equilibrium magnetization
and current as a function of the applied bias voltage. The mean field method
also predicts incorrectly local moment formation for large biases and a spin
polarized current, and unphysical kinks appear in various physical quantities.
The mean field approximation thus fails in every region where it predicts local
moment formation.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
Low-Dimensional Long-Range Topological Charge Structure in the QCD Vacuum
While sign-coherent 4-dimensional structures cannot dominate topological
charge fluctuations in the QCD vacuum at all scales due to reflection
positivity, it is possible that enhanced coherence exists over extended
space-time regions of lower dimension. Using the overlap Dirac operator to
calculate topological charge density, we present evidence for such structure in
pure-glue SU(3) lattice gauge theory. It is found that a typical equilibrium
configuration is dominated by two oppositely-charged sign-coherent connected
structures (``sheets'') covering about 80% of space-time. Each sheet is built
from elementary 3-d cubes connected through 2-d faces, and approximates a
low-dimensional curved manifold (or possibly a fractal structure) embedded in
the 4-d space. At the heart of the sheet is a ``skeleton'' formed by about 18%
of the most intense space-time points organized into a global long-range
structure, involving connected parts spreading over maximal possible distances.
We find that the skeleton is locally 1-dimensional and propose that its
geometrical properties might be relevant for understanding the possible role of
topological charge fluctuations in the physics of chiral symmetry breaking.Comment: 4 pages RevTeX, 4 figures; v2: 6 pages, 5 figures, more explanations

Non-equilibrium transport theory of the singlet-triplet transition: perturbative approach
We use a simple iterative perturbation theory to study the singlet-triplet
(ST) transition in lateral and vertical quantum dots, modeled by the
non-equilibrium two-level Anderson model. To a great surprise, the region of
stable perturbation theory extends to relatively strong interactions, and this
simple approach is able to reproduce all experimentally-observed features of
the ST transition, including the formation of a dip in the differential
conductance of a lateral dot indicative of the two-stage Kondo effect, or the
maximum in the linear conductance around the transition point. Choosing the
right starting point to the perturbation theory is, however, crucial to obtain
reliable and meaningful results
Retention Behaviour of MNOS Memory Devices with Embedded Si or Ge Nanocrystals – Computer Simulation
The charge retention behaviour of MNOS structures with embedded Si or Ge nanocrystals are studied by computer simulation. It is obtained that the oxide thickness and the location of nanocrystlas affect the retention behaviour very strongly. The retention time changes from a few ms to several years.
