^1S_0 pairing correlations in relativistic nuclear matter and the two-nucleon virtual state
We use the Gorkov formulation of the Dirac-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov
approximation to nuclear pairing to study the ^1S_0 nucleon-nucleon
correlations in nuclear matter. We find the short-range correlations of the
^1S_0 pairing fields to be almost identical to those of the two-nucleon virtual
state. We obtain mutually consistent results for the pairing fields, using
several different sets of effective interaction parameters, when we demand that
each of these sets places the virtual-state pole at its physical location.Comment: 11 pages, 9 PostScript figures, RevTex, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Graphene-based spin-pumping transistor
We demonstrate with a fully quantum-mechanical approach that graphene can
function as gate-controllable transistors for pumped spin currents, i.e., a
stream of angular momentum induced by the precession of adjacent
magnetizations, which exists in the absence of net charge currents.
Furthermore, we propose as a proof of concept how these spin currents can be
modulated by an electrostatic gate. Because our proposal involves nano-sized
systems that function with very high speeds and in the absence of any applied
bias, it is potentially useful for the development of transistors capable of
combining large processing speeds, enhanced integration and extremely low power
consumption
Graphene as a non-magnetic spin-current lens
In spintronics, the ability to transport magnetic information often depends
on the existence of a spin current traveling between two different magnetic
objects acting as source and probe. A large fraction of this information never
reaches the probe and is lost because the spin current tends to travel
omni-directionally. We propose that a curved boundary between a gated and a
non-gated region within graphene acts as an ideal lens for spin currents
despite being entirely of non-magnetic nature. We show as a proof of concept
that such lenses can be utilized to redirect the spin current that travels away
from a source onto a focus region where a magnetic probe is located, saving a
considerable fraction of the magnetic information that would be otherwise lost.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure
Dynamic RKKY interaction between magnetic moments in graphene nanoribbons
Graphene has been identified as a promising material with numerous
applications, particularly in spintronics. In this paper we investigate the
peculiar features of spin excitations of magnetic units deposited on graphene
nanoribbons and how they can couple through a dynamical interaction mediated by
spin currents. We examine in detail the spin lifetimes and identify a pattern
caused by vanishing density of states sites in pristine ribbons with armchair
borders. Impurities located on these sites become practically invisible to the
interaction, but can be made accessible by a gate voltage or doping. We also
demonstrate that the coupling between impurities can be turned on or off using
this characteristic, which may be used to control the transfer of information
in transistor-like devices.Comment: 10 pages, 10 figure
Carbon nanotube: a low-loss spin-current waveguide
We demonstrate with a quantum-mechanical approach that carbon nanotubes are
excellent spin-current waveguides and are able to carry information stored in a
precessing magnetic moment for long distances with very little dispersion and
with tunable degrees of attenuation. Pulsed magnetic excitations are predicted
to travel with the nanotube Fermi velocity and are able to induce similar
excitations in remote locations. Such an efficient way of transporting magnetic
information suggests that nanotubes are promising candidates for memory devices
with fast magnetization switchings
Nematodes in horticulture: an overview.
Herein, we integrated information about the damage and losses caused by these pathogens in horticulture. Resistant genotypes seem to be the best alternative and, due to wide horticulture aspect, the focus is especially for life sustaining horticultural, such as banana, cassava, potato, and sugar beet. In addition, it was also provided evidence regarding how studies have been conducted on new strategies for resistance and control, such as the elucidation of effector?s functions. Nematode effectors studies, focus on the development of new resistant plant genotypes, is an auspicious strategy against this parasites
