Disassortativity of random critical branching trees
Random critical branching trees (CBTs) are generated by the multiplicative
branching process, where the branching number is determined stochastically,
independent of the degree of their ancestor. Here we show analytically that
despite this stochastic independence, there exists the degree-degree
correlation (DDC) in the CBT and it is disassortative. Moreover, the skeletons
of fractal networks, the maximum spanning trees formed by the edge betweenness
centrality, behave similarly to the CBT in the DDC. This analytic solution and
observation support the argument that the fractal scaling in complex networks
originates from the disassortativity in the DDC.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figure
Electronic structures of ZnCoO using photoemission and x-ray absorption spectroscopy
Electronic structures of ZnCoO have been investigated using
photoemission spectroscopy (PES) and x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The
Co 3d states are found to lie near the top of the O valence band, with a
peak around eV binding energy. The Co XAS spectrum provides
evidence that the Co ions in ZnCoO are in the divalent Co
() states under the tetrahedral symmetry. Our finding indicates that the
properly substituted Co ions for Zn sites will not produce the diluted
ferromagnetic semiconductor property.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figure
Charmless Non-Leptonic B Decays and R-parity Violating Supersymmetry
We examine the charmless hadronic B decay modes in the context of R-parity
violating (\rpv) supersymmetry. We try to explain the large branching ratio
(compared to the Standard Model (SM) prediction) of the decay . There exist data for other observed modes and among
these modes, the decay is also found to be large
compared to the SM prediction. We investigate all these modes and find that
only two pairs of \rpv coupling can satisfy the requirements without
affecting the other B\ra PP and B\ra VP decay modes barring the decay
B\ra\phi K. From this analysis, we determine the preferred values of the
\rpv couplings and the effective number of color . We also calculate the
CP asymmetry for the observed decay modes affected by these new couplings.Comment: 14 pages, 7 figures; revtex; version published in Phys. Lett.
