Persistent superfluid phase in a three-dimensional quantum XY model with ring exchange
We present quantum Monte Carlo simulation results on a quantum S=1/2 XY model
with ring exchange (the J-K model) on a three-dimensional simple cubic lattice.
We first characterize the ground state properties of the pure XY model,
obtaining estimations for the energy, spin stiffness and spin susceptibility at
T=0 in the superfluid phase. With the ring exchange, we then present simulation
data on small lattices which suggests that the superfluid phase persists to
very large values of the ring exchange K, without signatures of a phase
transition. We comment on the consequences of this result for the search for
various exotic phases in three dimensions.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

Na/K-ATPase-mediated 86Rb+ uptake and asymmetrical trophectoderm localization of alpha1 and alpha3 Na/K-ATPase isoforms during bovine preattachment development.
This study evaluated Na/K-ATPase alpha 1- and alpha 3-subunit isoform polypeptide expression and localization during bovine preattachment development. Na/K-ATPase cation transport activity from the one-cell to blastocyst stage was also determined by measuring ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake. Both alpha1- and alpha 3-subunit polypeptides were detected by immunofluorescence to encircle the entire cell margins of each blastomere of inseminated zygotes, cleavage stage embryos, and morulae. Immunofluorescent localization of alpha1-subunit polypeptide in bovine blastocysts revealed an alpha1 immunofluorescence signal confined to the basolateral membrane margins of the trophectoderm and encircling the cell periphery of each inner cell mass (ICM) cell. In contrast, alpha 3-subunit polypeptide immunofluorescence was localized primarily to the apical cell surfaces of the trophectoderm with a reduced signal present in basolateral trophectoderm regions. There was no apparent alpha 3-subunit signal in the ICM. Analysis of 86Rb+ transport in vitro demonstrated ouabain-sensitive activity throughout development from the one-cell to the six- to eight-cell stage of bovine development. 86Rb+ uptake by morulae (day 6 postinsemination) did not vary significantly from uptake detected in cleavage stage embryos; however, a significant increase was measured at the blastocyst stage (P \u3c 0.05). Treatment of embryos with cytochalasin D (5 micrograms/ml) did not influence 86Rb+ uptake in cleavage stage embryos. Cytochalasin D treatment however was associated with a significant rise in ion transport in morulae and blastocysts (13.49 and 61.57 fmol/embryo/min, respectively) compared to untreated controls (2.65 and 22.83 fmol/embryo/min, respectively). Our results, for the first time, demonstrate that multiple Na/K-ATPase alpha-subunit isoforms are distributed throughout the first week of mammalian development and raise the possibility that multiple isozymes of the Na/K-ATPase contribute to blastocyst formation
Vanishing spin alignment : experimental indication of triaxial nuclear molecule
Fragment-fragment- coincidences have been measured for at an energy corresponding to the population of a conjectured
resonance in Ni. Fragment angular distributions as well as -ray
angular correlations indicate that the spin orientations of the outgoing
fragments are perpendicular to the orbital angular momentum. This differs from
the and the resonances, and
suggests two oblate nuclei interacting in an equator-to-equator
molecular configuration.Comment: 14 pages standard REVTeX file, 3 ps Figures -- Accepted for
