Broadband optical gain via interference in the free electron laser: principles and proposed realizations
We propose experimentally simplified schemes of an optically dispersive
interface region between two coupled free electron lasers (FELs), aimed at
achieving a much broader gain bandwidth than in a conventional FEL or a
conventional optical klystron composed of two separated FELs. The proposed
schemes can {\it universally} enhance the gain of FELs, regardless of their
design when operated in the short pulsed regime
Multipartite entanglement in the 1-D spin- Heisenberg Antiferromagnet
Multipartite entanglement refers to the simultaneous entanglement between
multiple subsystems of a many-body quantum system. While multipartite
entanglement can be difficult to quantify analytically, it is known that it can
be witnessed through the Quantum Fisher information (QFI), a quantity that can
also be related to dynamical Kubo response functions. In this work, we first
show that the finite temperature QFI can generally be expressed in terms of a
static structure factor of the system, plus a correction that vanishes as
. We argue that this implies that the static structure factor
witnesses multipartite entanglement near quantum critical points at
temperatures below a characteristic energy scale that is determined by
universal properties, up to a non-universal amplitude. Therefore, in systems
with a known static structure factor, we can deduce finite temperature scaling
of multipartite entanglement and low temperature entanglement depth without
knowledge of the full dynamical response function of the system. This is
particularly useful to study 1D quantum critical systems in which sub-power-law
divergences can dominate entanglement growth, where the conventional scaling
theory of the QFI breaks down. The 1D spin- antiferromagnetic
Heisenberg model is an important example of such a system, and we show that
multipartite entanglement in the Heisenberg chain diverges non-trivially as
. We verify these predictions with calculations of the
QFI using conformal field theory and matrix product state simulations. Finally
we discuss the implications of our results for experiments to probe
entanglement in quantum materials, comparing to neutron scattering data in
KCuF, a material well-described by the Heisenberg chain.Comment: 8 pages and 3 figures; 1 page and 1 figure of the appendix; typos

Hole-hole superconducting pairing in the t-J model induced by spin-wave exchange
We study numerically the hole pairing induced by spin-wave exchange. The
contact hole-hole interaction is taken into account as well. It is assumed that
antiferromagnetic order is preserved at all scales relevant to pairing. The
strongest pairing is obtained for the d-wave symmetry of the gap. Dependence of
the value of the gap on hole concentration and temperature is presented. For
the critical temperature we obtain Tc about 100 K at the hole concentration
delta = 0.2-0.3.Comment: replaced with a revised version to appear in PRB, 6 pages, REVTeX

Normal Fermi Liquid Behavior of Quasiholes in the Spin-Polaron Model for Copper Oxides
Based on the t-J model and the self-consistent Born approximation, the
damping of quasiparticle hole states near the Fermi surface is calculated in a
low doping regime. Renormalization of spin-wave excitations due to hole doping
is taken into account. The damping is shown to be described by a familiar form
characteristic of the 2-dimensional
Fermi liquid, in contrast with the earlier statement reported by Li and Gong
[Phys. Rev. B {\bf 51}, 6343 (1995)] on the marginal Fermi liquid behavior of
quasiholes
Hole-Hole Contact Interaction in the t-J Model
Using an analytical variational approach we calculate the hole-hole contact
interaction on the N\'{e}el background. Solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation
with this interaction gives bound states in - and p-waves with binding
energies close to those obtained by numerical methods. At the
bound state disappears. In conclusion we discuss the relation between short
range and long range interactions and analogy with the problem of pion
condensation in nuclear matter.Comment: 11 pp. (LATEX), 7 figures (PostScript) appended, report N
Pressure-Induced Magnetic Quantum Phase Transitions from Gapped Ground State in TlCuCl3
Magnetization maesurements under hydrostatic pressure were performed on an
S=1/2 coupled spin system TlCuCl3 with a gapped ground state under magnetic
field H parallel to the [2,0,1] direction. With increasing applied pressure P,
the gap decreases and closes completely at Pc=0.42 kbar. For P>Pc, TlCuCl3
undergoes antiferromagnetic ordering. A spin-flop transition was observed at
Hsf=0.7T. The spin-flop field is approximately independent of pressure,
although the sublattice magnetization increases with pressure. The gap and Neel
temperature are presented as function is attributed to to the relative
enhancement of the interdimer exchange interactions compared with the
intradimer exchange interaction.Comment: 4pages,3figures To be published in J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. Vol.73 No.1
Ethical Decision Making and Leadership Stress
The theme of this entry is how ethical decisionmaking is influenced by leadership stress. From a traditional point of view, stress is seen as a potential threat to leaders’ ethical decisions (Selart and Johansen 2011). There is substantial evidence suggesting that stress has a negative impact on leaders’ cognition and information processing, leading to errors and biases in their decisionmaking. However, it must be pointed out that in many types of professions (e.g., chief pilots, chief surgeons, and chief fire officers) leaders are more or less bound to develop advanced levels of stresstolerance in order to function ethically. This implies that stress does not always have to result in unethical decisions among leaders (Klein 1996).
The structure of this entry is organized such that its first part is devoted to clarification of the
relationship between ethical decision-making and leadership, while the second part is focused on how stress adds to this relationship
Ehrenfest relations and magnetoelastic effects in field-induced ordered phases
Magnetoelastic properties in field-induced magnetic ordered phases are
studied theoretically based on a Ginzburg-Landau theory. A critical field for
the field-induced ordered phase is obtained as a function of temperature and
pressure, which determine the phase diagram. It is found that magnetic field
dependence of elastic constant decreases discontinuously at the critical field,
Hc, and that it decreases linearly with field in the ordered phase (H>Hc). We
found an Ehrenfest relation between the field dependence of the elastic
constant and the pressure dependence of critical field. Our theory provides the
theoretical form for magnetoelastic properties in field- and pressure-induced
ordered phases.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figure
Hole concentration and phonon renormalization in Ca-doped YBa_2Cu_3O_y (6.76 < y < 7.00)
In order to access the overdoped regime of the YBa_2Cu_3O_y phase diagram, 2%
Ca is substituted for Y in YBa_2Cu_3O_y (y = 7.00,6.93,6.88,6.76). Raman
scattering studies have been carried out on these four single crystals.
Measurements of the superconductivity-induced renormalization in frequency
(Delta \omega) and linewidth (\Delta 2\gamma) of the 340 cm^{-1} B_{1g} phonon
demonstrate that the magnitude of the renormalization is directly related to
the hole concentration (p), and not simply the oxygen content. The changes in
\Delta \omega with p imply that the superconducting gap (\Delta_{max})
decreases monotonically with increasing hole concentration in the overdoped
regime, and \Delta \omega falls to zero in the underdoped regime. The linewidth
renormalization \Delta 2\gamma is negative in the underdoped regime, crossing
over at optimal doping to a positive value in the overdoped state.Comment: 18 pages; 5 figures; submitted to Phys. Rev. B Oct. 24, 2002 (BX8292
