Examining the crossover from hadronic to partonic phase in QCD
It is argued that, due to the existence of two vacua -- perturbative and
physical -- in QCD, the mechanism for the crossover from hadronic to partonic
phase is hard to construct. The challenge is: how to realize the transition
between the two vacua during the gradual crossover of the two phases. A
possible solution of this problem is proposed and a mechanism for crossover,
consistent with the principle of QCD, is constructed. The essence of this
mechanism is the appearance and growing up of a kind of grape-shape
perturbative vacuum inside the physical one. A dynamical percolation model
based on a simple dynamics for the delocalization of partons is constructed to
exhibit this mechanism. The crossover from hadronic matter to sQGP as well as
the transition from sQGP to wQGP in the increasing of temperature is
successfully described by using this model with a temperature dependent
parameter.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

Polaronic effect in the x-ray absorption spectra of La1-x Ca x MnO3 manganites.
X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is performed to study changes in the electronic structures of colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) and charged ordered (CO) La1-x Ca x MnO3 manganites with respect to temperature. The pre-edge features in O and Mn K-edge XAS spectra, which are highly sensitive to the local distortion of MnO6 octahedral, exhibit contrasting temperature dependence between CMR and CO samples. The seemingly counter-intuitive XAS temperature dependence can be reconciled in the context of polarons. These results help identify the most relevant orbital states associated with polarons and highlight the crucial role played by polarons in understanding the electronic structures of manganites
Consistent Anisotropic Repulsions for Simple Molecules
We extract atom-atom potentials from the effective spherical potentials that
suc cessfully model Hugoniot experiments on molecular fluids, e.g., and
. In the case of the resulting potentials compare very well with the
atom-atom potentials used in studies of solid-state propertie s, while for
they are considerably softer at short distances. Ground state (T=0K) and
room temperatu re calculations performed with the new potential resolve
the previous discrepancy between experimental and theoretical results.Comment: RevTeX, 5 figure
