Chaotic memristor
We suggest and experimentally demonstrate a chaotic memory resistor
(memristor). The core of our approach is to use a resistive system whose
equations of motion for its internal state variables are similar to those
describing a particle in a multi-well potential. Using a memristor emulator,
the chaotic memristor is realized and its chaotic properties are measured. A
Poincar\'{e} plot showing chaos is presented for a simple nonautonomous circuit
involving only a voltage source directly connected in series to a memristor and
a standard resistor. We also explore theoretically some details of this system,
plotting the attractor and calculating Lyapunov exponents. The multi-well
potential used resembles that of many nanoscale memristive devices, suggesting
the possibility of chaotic dynamics in other existing memristive systems.Comment: Applied Physics A (in press
Bifurcations, Chaos, Controlling and Synchronization of Certain Nonlinear Oscillators
In this set of lectures, we review briefly some of the recent developments in
the study of the chaotic dynamics of nonlinear oscillators, particularly of
damped and driven type. By taking a representative set of examples such as the
Duffing, Bonhoeffer-van der Pol and MLC circuit oscillators, we briefly explain
the various bifurcations and chaos phenomena associated with these systems. We
use numerical and analytical as well as analogue simulation methods to study
these systems. Then we point out how controlling of chaotic motions can be
effected by algorithmic procedures requiring minimal perturbations. Finally we
briefly discuss how synchronization of identically evolving chaotic systems can
be achieved and how they can be used in secure communications.Comment: 31 pages (24 figures) LaTeX. To appear Springer Lecture Notes in

The Fourth Element: Characteristics, Modelling, and Electromagnetic Theory of the Memristor
In 2008, researchers at HP Labs published a paper in {\it Nature} reporting
the realisation of a new basic circuit element that completes the missing link
between charge and flux-linkage, which was postulated by Leon Chua in 1971. The
HP memristor is based on a nanometer scale TiO thin-film, containing a
doped region and an undoped region. Further to proposed applications of
memristors in artificial biological systems and nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM), they
also enable reconfigurable nanoelectronics. Moreover, memristors provide new
paradigms in application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and field
programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). A significant reduction in area with an
unprecedented memory capacity and device density are the potential advantages
of memristors for Integrated Circuits (ICs). This work reviews the memristor
and provides mathematical and SPICE models for memristors. Insight into the
memristor device is given via recalling the quasi-static expansion of Maxwell's
equations. We also review Chua's arguments based on electromagnetic theory.Comment: 28 pages, 14 figures, Accepted as a regular paper - the Proceedings

CP-violating asymmetries in B^0 decays to K^+K^-K_{S(L)}^0 and K_S^0K_S^0K_{S(L)}^0
Decay rates and time-dependent and direct CP asymmetries in the decays
and are studied. Resonant and
nonresonant contributions to the three-body decays are carefully investigated.
Nonresonant effects on 2-body and 3-body matrix elements are constrained by QCD
counting rules. The predicted branching ratios are consistent with the data
within the theoretical and experimental errors, though the theoretical central
values are somewhat smaller than the experimental ones. Owing to the presence
of color-allowed tree amplitudes in , this
penguin-dominated mode is subject to a significant tree pollution and the
deviation of the mixing-induced \CP asymmetry from that measured in , namely, , can be as large as O(0.10).
In contrast, the modes appear theoretically very clean in our
picture with negligible . Direct CP
asymmetries in and modes are found to be
very small.Comment: 17 pages and 2 figures, the tree contribution is modified due to the

Self-directed growth of AlGaAs core-shell nanowires for visible light applications
Al(0.37)Ga(0.63)As nanowires (NWs) were grown in a molecular beam epitaxy
system on GaAs(111)B substrates. Micro-photoluminescence measurements and
energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy indicated a core-shell structure and Al
composition gradient along the NW axis, producing a potential minimum for
carrier confinement. The core-shell structure formed during the growth as a
consequence of the different Al and Ga adatom diffusion lengths.Comment: 20 pages, 7 figure
Signatures of Baryogenesis in the MSSM
We revisit the electroweak baryogenesis within the context of the minimal
supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), studying its potential collider
signatures. We find that this mechanism of baryogenesis does not give a new CP
violating signal at the -factories. The first circumstantial evidence may
come from enhanced or mixing. If a light right-handed scalar top
and Higgs are found as required, a linear collider represents the best
possibility for confirming the scenario.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures. Minor typos fixed. Reference Adde
