Upper critical field, lower critical field and critical current density of FeTe0.60Se0.40 single crystal
The transport and magnetic studies are performed on high quality
FeTe0.60Se0.40 single crystals to determine the upper critical fields (Hc2),
lower critical field (Hc1) and the Critical current density (Jc). The value of
upper critical field Hc2 are very large, whereas the activation energy as
determined from the slope of the Arrhenius plots are was found to be lower than
that in the FeAs122 superconductor. The lower critical field was determined in
ab direction and c direction of the crystal, and was found to have a anisotropy
of 'gamma'{=(Hc1//c) / (Hc1//b)} ~ 4. The magnetic isotherms measured up to 12
Tesla shows the presence of fishtail behavior. The critical current densities
at 1.8K of the single crystal was found to almost same in both ab and c
direction as 1X105 Amp/cm2 in low field regime.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figure
Spectra of Free Diquark in the Bethe-Salpeter Approach
In this work, we employ the Bethe-Salpeter (B-S) equation to investigate the
spectra of free diquarks and their B-S wave functions. We find that the B-S
approach can be consistently applied to study the diqaurks with two heavy
quarks or one heavy and one light quarks, but for two light-quark systems, the
results are not reliable. There are a few free parameters in the whole scenario
which can only be fixed phenomenologically. Thus, to determine them, one has to
study baryons which are composed of quarks and diquarks.Comment: 16 pages, no figure
Linear canonical transformations and quantum phase:a unified canonical and algebraic approach
The algebra of generalized linear quantum canonical transformations is
examined in the prespective of Schwinger's unitary-canonical basis. Formulation
of the quantum phase problem within the theory of quantum canonical
transformations and in particular with the generalized quantum action-angle
phase space formalism is established and it is shown that the conceptual
foundation of the quantum phase problem lies within the algebraic properties of
the quantum canonical transformations in the quantum phase space. The
representations of the Wigner function in the generalized action-angle unitary
operator pair for certain Hamiltonian systems with the dynamical symmetry are
examined. This generalized canonical formalism is applied to the quantum
harmonic oscillator to examine the properties of the unitary quantum phase
operator as well as the action-angle Wigner function.Comment: 19 pages, no figure
Evidence for Direct CP Violation in and Observation of
We report measurements of the branching fractions and CP asymmetries for B^+-
-> eta h^+- (h = K or pi) and the observation of the decay B^0 -> eta K^0 from
the final data sample of 772x10^6 BBbar pairs collected with the Belle detector
at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider. The measured branching fractions
are Br(B^+- -> eta K^+-) = (2.12 +- 0.23 +- 0.11)x10^-6}, Br(B^+- -> eta pi^+-)
= (4.07 +- 0.26 +- 0.21)x10^{-6} and Br(B^0 -> eta K^0) = (1.27^{+0.33}_{-0.29}
+- 0.08)x10^-6, where the last decay is observed for the first time with a
significance of 5.4 standard deviations (\sigma). We also find evidence for CP
violation in the charged B modes, A_{CP}(B^+- -> eta K^+-) = -0.38 +- 0.11 +-
0.01 and A_{CP}(B^+- -> eta pi^+- = -0.19 +- 0.06 +- 0.01 with significances of
3.8 sigma and 3.0 sigma, respectively. For all measurements, the first and
second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, 1 tabl
X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) investigation of the electronic structure of superconducting FeSex single crystals
X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) Fe K-edge spectra of the FeSex (x=1-0.8)
single crystals cleaved in situ in vacuum reveal characteristic Fe 4sp states,
a lattice distortion and the Se K-edge spectra point to a strong Fe 3d-Se 4p
hybridization giving rise to itinerant charge carriers. A formal charge of
~1.8+ for Fe and ~2.2- for Se were evaluated from these spectra in the FeSex
(x=0.88). The charge balance between Fe and Se is assigned itinerant electrons
located in the Fe-Se hybridization bond. As x decreases the 4p hole count
increases and a crystal structure distortion is observed that in turn causes
the Fe separation in the ab plane change from 4p orbital to varying
(modulating) coordination. Powder x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements also
show a slight increase in lattice parameters as x decreases (increasing Se
deficiency)
Improved measurement of time-dependent CP violation in B0 -> J/Psi pi0 decays
We report improved measurements of time-dependent CP violation parameters for
decay. This analysis is based on 535 million
pairs accumulated at the resonance with the Belle
detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider. From the distribution
of proper time intervals between the two B decays, we obtain the following CP
violation parameters and , which are consistent with Standard Model
expectations.Comment: Resubmitted to PRD(RC), including 4 figures, 6pages Revision has been

High-Temperature Charge-Stripe Correlations in LaEuSrCuO
We use resonant inelastic x-ray scattering to investigate charge-stripe
correlations in LaEuSrCuO. By differentiating
elastic from inelastic scattering, it is demonstrated that charge-stripe
correlations precede both the structural low-temperature tetragonal phase and
the transport-defined pseudogap onset. The scattering peak amplitude from
charge stripes decays approximately as towards our detection limit.
The in-plane integrated intensity, however, remains roughly temperature
independent. Therefore, although the incommensurability shows a remarkably
large increase at high temperature, our results are interpreted via a single
scattering constituent. In fact, direct comparison to other stripe-ordered
compounds (LaBaCuO,
LaNdSrCuO and LaSrCuO)
suggests a roughly constant integrated scattering intensity across all these
compounds. Our results therefore provide a unifying picture for the
charge-stripe ordering in La-based cuprates. As charge correlations in
LaEuSrCuO extend beyond the low-temperature
tetragonal and pseudogap phase, their emergence heralds a spontaneous symmetry
breaking in this compound
Measurement of CP Asymmetries and Branching Fractions in a Time-Dependent Dalitz Analysis of B^0-->(rho pi)^0 and a Constraint on the Quark Mixing Angle phi_2
We present the results of a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis of B0 --> pi+
pi- pi0 decays based on a 414/fb data sample that contains 449 x 10^6 BB pairs.
The data was collected on the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at
the KEKB asymmetric energy e+e- collider. Combining our analysis with
information on charged B decay modes, we perform a full Dalitz and isospin
analysis and obtain a constraint on the quark mixing angle phi_2, 68deg. <
phi_2 < 95deg. at the 68.3% confidence level for the phi_2 solution consistent
with the standard model (SM). A large SM-disfavored region also remains. The
branching fractions for the decay processes of B0 --> rho+-(770) pi-+ and B0
--> rho0(770) pi0 are measured to be (22.6 +- 1.1[stat.] +- 4.4 [syst.]) x
10^{-6} and (3.0 +- 0.5 [stat.] +- 0.7 [syst.]) x 10^{-6}, respectively. These
are the first branching fraction measurements of the process B0 --> rho(770)pi
with the lowest resonance rho(770) explicitly separated from the radial
excitations.Comment: 26 pages, 12 figures, to be submitted to Phys. Rev. D; Revision to

Measurement of CP violating asymmetries in B^0 -> K^+K^- K^0_S decays with a time-dependent Dalitz approach
We report a measurement of violating asymmetries in decays with a time-dependent Dalitz approach. This analysis
is based on a data sample of pairs accumulated
at the resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB
asymmetric-energy collider. As the result of an unbinned maximum
likelihood fit to the selected candidates, the mixing-induced and direct
violation parameters, and are obtained for
, and other decays. We find four solutions that describe the data. There are
\{eqnarray*} \phi_1^{\rm eff}(B^0\to \phi(1020) K^0_S) & = & (32.2 \pm 9.0 \pm
2.6 \pm 1.4)^{\circ}; \phi_1^{\rm eff}(B^0\to \phi(1020) K^0_S) & = & (26.2 \pm
8.8 \pm 2.7 \pm 1.2)^{\circ};\\ \phi_1^{\rm eff}(B^0\to \phi(1020) K^0_S) & = &
(27.3 \pm 8.6 \pm 2.8 \pm 1.3)^{\circ}\; {\rm and}\\ \phi_1^{\rm eff}(B^0\to
\phi(1020) K^0_S) & = & (24.3 \pm 8.0 \pm 2.9 \pm 5.2)^{\circ}.{eqnarray*}\ The
values for the violating phase in are similar
but other properties of the Dalitz plot are quite different for the four
solutions. These four solutions have consistent values for
all three meson decay channels and none of them deviates significantly from
the values measured in decays with the currently
available statistics. In addition, we find no significant direct
violation.Comment: submitted to PR
Search for double charmonium decays of the P-wave spin-triplet bottomonium states
Using a sample of 158 million events collected with the Belle
detector, we search for the first time for double charmonium decays of the
-wave spin-triplet bottomonium states (,
\chi_{bJ} \to \jpsi \jpsi, \jpsi \psp, \psp \psp for J=0, 1, and 2). No
significant signal is observed in the double charmonium mass
spectra, and we obtain the following upper limits, \BR(\chi_{bJ} \to \jpsi
\jpsi)<7.1\times 10^{-5}, , ,
\BR(\chi_{bJ} \to \jpsi \psp)<1.2\times 10^{-4}, ,
, \BR(\chi_{bJ} \to \psp \psp)<3.1\times 10^{-5},
, for J=0, 1, and 2, respectively, at
the 90% confidence level. These limits are significantly lower than the central
values (with uncertainties of 50% to 70%) predicted using the light cone
formalism but are consistent with calculations using the NRQCD factorization
approach.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl
