A mechanism for unipolar resistance switching in oxide non-volatile memory devices
Building on a recently introduced model for non-volatile resistive switching,
we propose a mechanism for unipolar resistance switching in
metal-insulator-metal sandwich structures. The commutation from the high to low
resistance state and back can be achieved with successive voltage sweeps of the
same polarity. Electronic correlation effects at the metal-insulator interface
are found to play a key role to produce a resistive commutation effect in
qualitative agreement with recent experimental reports on binary transition
metal oxide based sandwich structures.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
Persistence of singlet fluctuations in the coupled spin tetrahedra system Cu2Te2O5Br2 revealed by high-field magnetization and 79Br NQR - 125Te NMR
We present high-field magnetization and Br nuclear quadrupole
resonance (NQR) and Te nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies in the
weakly coupled Cu () tetrahedral system CuTeOBr.
The field-induced level crossing effects were observed by the magnetization
measurements in a long-ranged magnetically ordered state which was confirmed by
a strong divergence of the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 at T0=13.5 K. In
the paramagnetic state, 1/T1 reveals an effective singlet-triplet spin gap much
larger than that observed by static bulk measurements. Our results imply that
the inter- and the intra-tetrahedral interactions compete, but at the same time
they cooperate strengthening effectively the local intratetrahedral exchange
couplings. We discuss that the unusual feature originates from the frustrated
intertetrahedral interactions.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, accepted in Phys. Rev. B as a Rapid

MACS: Multi-agent COTR system for Defense Contracting
The field of intelligent multi-agent systems has expanded rapidly in the recent past. Multi-agent architectures and systems are being investigated and continue to develop. To date, little has been accomplished in applying multi-agent systems to the defense acquisition domain. This paper describes the design, development, and related considerations of a multi-agent system in the area of procurement and contracting for the defense acquisition community
Muon anomalous magnetic moment and lepton flavor violation in MSSM
We give a thorough analysis of the correlation between the muon anomalous
magnetic moment and the radiative lepton flavor violating (LFV) processes
within the minimal supersymmetric standard model. We find that in the case when
the slepton mass eigenstates are nearly degenerate, , coming from
SUSY contributions, hardly depends on the lepton flavor mixing and, thus, there
is no direct relation between and the LFV processes. On the
contrary, if the first two generations' sleptons are much heavier than the 3rd
one, i.e., in the effective SUSY scenario, the two quantities are closely
related. In the latter scenario, the SUSY parameter space to account for the
experimental is quite different from the case of no lepton
flavor mixing. Especially, the Higgsino mass parameter can be either
positive or negative.Comment: 22 pages, 9 figures; Some discussions are modifie
Fully supersymmetric CP violations in the kaon system
We show that, on the contrary to the usual claims, fully supersymmetric CP
violations in the kaon system are possible through the gluino mediated flavor
changing interactions. Both and can be accommodated for relatively large without any
fine tunings or contradictions to the FCNC and EDM constraints.Comment: Contribution to the Proceedings of ICHEP2000, Osaka, 200
The Intelligent Agent-Based Knowledge Management System for Supporting Multimedia Systems Design on The Web
The diffusion of the Internet (and comparable communication infrastructures) has led to the emergence of a virtual global marketspace in which products and services are sold electronically. As a result, traditional intermediaries, such as travel agents or retailers, are being bypassed. This development effects not only products and services which can be digitized but also the marketing and distribution of physical products. We have scrutinized the interdependencies of product characteristics and traditional distribution structure, electronic commerce andthe emergence of new services and distribution structures trends in the automotive industry. The auto manufacturers are facing difficult choices on several fronts at a time: cybermediaries, independent (mega-)dealers and their own direct sales operations on the Web are competing with their exclusive dealers. Based on this analysis which reveals patterns of exacerbated competition, we will discuss strategic options for a business network redesig
