Phase diagram of asymmetric Fermi gas across Feshbach resonance
We study the phase diagram of the dilute two-component Fermi gas at zero
temperature as a function of the polarization and coupling strength. We map out
the detailed phase separations between superfluid and normal states near the
Feshbach resonance. We show that there are three different coexistence of
superfluid and normal phases corresponding to phase separated states between:
(I) the partially polarized superfluid and the fully polarized normal phases,
(II) the unpolarized superfluid and the fully polarized normal phases and (III)
the unpolarized superfluid and the partially polarized normal phases from
strong-coupling BEC side to weak-coupling BCS side. For pairing between two
species, we found this phase separation regime gets wider and moves toward the
BEC side for the majority species are heavier but shifts to BCS side and
becomes narrow if they are lighter.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures. Submitted to LT25 on June 200
Application of NASTRAN for stress analysis of left ventricle of the heart
Knowing the stress and strain distributions in the left ventricular wall of the heart is a prerequisite for the determination of the muscle elasticity and contractility in the process of assessing the functional status of the heart. NASTRAN was applied for the calculation of these stresses and strains and to help in verifying the results obtained by the computer program FEAMPS which was specifically designed for the plane-strain finite-element analysis of the left ventricular cross sections. Adopted for the analysis are the true shape and dimensions of the cross sections reconstructed from multiplanar X-ray views of a left ventricle which was surgically isolated from a dog's heart but metabolically supported to sustain its beating. A preprocessor was prepared to accommodate both FEAMPS and NASTRAN, and it has also facilitated the application of both the triangular element and isoparameteric quadrilateral element versions of NASTRAN. The stresses in several crucial regions of the left ventricular wall calculated by these two independently developed computer programs are found to be in good agreement. Such confirmation of the results is essential in the development of a method which assesses the heart performance
Phase diagram of a dilute fermion gas with density imbalance
We map out the phase diagram of a dilute two-component atomic fermion gas
with unequal populations and masses under a Feshbach resonance. As in the case
of equal masses, no uniform phase is stable for an intermediate coupling
regime. For majority component heavier, the unstable region moves towards the
BEC side. When the coupling strength is increased from the normal phase, there
is an increased parameter space where the transition is into the FFLO state.
The converse is true if the majority is light.Comment: Proceeding for MS-HTSC VIII meeting, July 9-14 2006, Dresden; To

Theory for Superconducting Properties of the Cuprates: Doping Dependence of the Electronic Excitations and Shadow States
The superconducting phase of the 2D one-band Hubbard model is studied within
the FLEX approximation and by using an Eliashberg theory. We investigate the
doping dependence of , of the gap function and
of the effective pairing interaction. Thus we find that becomes maximal
for doping. In {\it overdoped} systems decreases due to the
weakening of the antiferromagnetic correlations, while in the {\it underdoped}
systems due to the decreasing quasi particle lifetimes. Furthermore, we find
{\it shadow states} below which affect the electronic excitation spectrum
and lead to fine structure in photoemission experiments.Comment: 10 pages (REVTeX) with 5 figures (Postscript

Faxen relations in solids - a generalized approach to particle motion in elasticity and viscoelasticity
A movable inclusion in an elastic material oscillates as a rigid body with
six degrees of freedom. Displacement/rotation and force/moment tensors which
express the motion of the inclusion in terms of the displacement and force at
arbitrary exterior points are introduced. Using reciprocity arguments two
general identities are derived relating these tensors. Applications of the
identities to spherical particles provide several new results, including simple
expressions for the force and moment on the particle due to plane wave
excitation.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figure
The Isotope Effect in d-Wave Superconductors
Based on recently proposed anti-ferromagnetic spin fluctuation exchange
models for -superconductors, we show that coupling to harmonic
phonons {\it{cannot}} account for the observed isotope effect in the cuprate
high- materials, whereas coupling to strongly anharmonic multiple-well
lattice tunneling modes {\it{can}}. Our results thus point towards a strongly
enhanced {\it{effective}} electron-phonon coupling and a possible break-down of
Migdal-Eliashberg theory in the cuprates.Comment: 12 pages + 2 figures, Postscript files, all uuencoded Phys. Rev.

Hole Pockets in the Doped 2D Hubbard Model
The electronic momentum distribution of the two
dimensional Hubbard model is studied for different values of the coupling , electronic density , and temperature, using
quantum Monte Carlo techniques. A detailed analysis of the data on
clusters shows that features consistent with hole pockets at momenta appear as the system is doped away
from half-filling. Our results are consistent with recent experimental data for
the cuprates discussed by Aebi et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 72}, 2757 (1994)).
In the range of couplings studied, the depth of the pockets is maximum at , and it increases with decreasing temperature.
The apparent absence of hole pockets in previous numerical studies of this
model is explained.Comment: 11 pages, 4 postscript figures appended, RevTeX (version 3.0
