Gate-controllable spin-battery
We propose a gate-controllable spin-battery for spin current. The
spin-battery consists of a lateral double quantum dot under a uniform magnetic
field. A finite DC spin-current is driven out of the device by controlling a
set of gate voltages. Spin-current can also be delivered in the absence of
charge-current. The proposed device should be realizable using present
technology at low temperature.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures, accepted by Appl. Phys. Let
Total Nuclear Reaction Cross Section Induced by Halo Nuclei and Stable Nuclei
We develop the method for the calculation of the total reaction cross
sections induced by the halo nuclei and stable nuclei. This approach is based
on the Glauber theory, which is valid for nuclear reactions at high energy. It
is extended for nuclear reactions at low energy and intermediate energy by
including both the quantum correction and Coulomb correction under the
assumption of the effective nuclear density distribution. The calculated
results of the total reaction cross section induced by stable nuclei agree well
with the 30 experimental data within 10 percent accuracy.The comparison between
the numerical results and the 20 experimental data for the total nuclear
reaction cross section induced by the neutron halo nuclei and the proton halo
nuclei indicates a satisfactory agreement after considering the halo structure
of these nuclei, which implies the quite different mean fields for the nuclear
reactions induced by halo nuclei and stable nuclei. The halo nucleon
distributions and the root mean square radii of these nuclei can be extracted
from above comparison based on the improved Glauber model, which indicate
clearly the halo structures of these nuclei. Especially, it is clear to see
that the medium correction of the nucleon-nucleon collision has little effect
on the total reaction cross sections induced by the halo nuclei due to the very
weak binding and the very extended density distribution.Comment: 15 pages,2 figures. Communucations in Theoretical Physics, (2003) in

Luttinger-volume violating Fermi liquid in the pseudogap phase of the cuprate superconductors
Based on the NMR measurements on BiSrLaCuO
(La-Bi2201) in strong magnetic fields, we identify the non-superconducting
pseudogap phase in the cuprates as a Luttinger-volume violating Fermi liquid
(LvvFL). This state is a zero temperature quantum liquid that does not break
translational symmetry, and yet, the Fermi surface encloses a volume smaller
than the large one given by the Luttinger theorem. The particle number enclosed
by the small Fermi surface in the LvvFL equals the doping level , not the
total electron number . Both the phase string theory and the dopon
theory are introduced to describe the LvvFL. For the dopon theory, we can
obtain a semi-quantitative agreement with the NMR experiments.Comment: The final version in PR
Remote information concentration and multipartite entanglement in multilevel systems
Remote information concentration (RIC) in -level systems (qudits) is
studied. It is shown that the quantum information initially distributed in
three spatially separated qudits can be remotely and deterministically
concentrated to a single qudit via an entangled channel without performing any
global operations. The entangled channel can be different types of genuine
multipartite pure entangled states which are inequivalent under local
operations and classical communication. The entangled channel can also be a
mixed entangled state, even a bound entangled state which has a similar form to
the Smolin state, but has different features from the Smolin state. A common
feature of all these pure and mixed entangled states is found, i.e., they have
common commuting stabilizers. The differences of qudit-RIC and qubit-RIC
() are also analyzed.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figure
Isolation and characterization of 13 new microsatellite markers in the triangle mussel (Hyriopsis cumingii)
Microsatellite enriched library of Hyriopsis cumingii was constructed according to the strong affinity between biotin and streptavidin. One hundred clones with foreign inserts were sequenced and 65 clones were screened for usable microsatellites, of which 36 were deemed unique, of sufficient length (more than 8 repeats) and possessed adequate flanking regions for primer designment. Among 36 primer pairs designed, 25 yielded scorable amplification products. Upon testing 30 individuals were sampled using the 25 pair primers from Dongting Lake of Hunan Province, China. Then thirteen polymorphic microsatellite markers were isolated and characterized. These loci exhibited high levels of genetic polymorphism, so the observed number of alleles per locus ranged from 4 to 9. The ranges of observed and expected heterozygosity were 0.2543 to 0.8913 and 0.3629 to 0.8217, respectively, and the average polymorphic information content was 0.5198. Two microsatellite loci were significantly deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium due to the presence of null alleles, and no linkage disequilibrium found. These microsatellite loci will be useful for assessing the genetic diversity and population structure of H. cumingii
