Hamiltonian Formalism of the de-Sitter Invariant Special Relativity
Lagrangian of the Einstein's special relativity with universal parameter
() is invariant under Poincar\'e transformation which preserves
Lorentz metric . The has been extended to be
one which is invariant under de Sitter transformation that preserves so called
Beltrami metric . There are two universal parameters and in
this Special Relativity (denote it as ). The
Lagrangian-Hamiltonian formulism of is formulated in this
paper. The canonic energy, canonic momenta, and 10 Noether charges
corresponding to the space-time's de Sitter symmetry are derived. The canonical
quantization of the mechanics for -free particle is
performed. The physics related to it is discussed.Comment: 24 pages, no figur
Room temperature ferromagnetism in chemically synthesized ZnO rods
We report structural and magnetic properties of pure ZnO rods using X-ray
diffraction (XRD), magnetization hysteresis (M-H) loop and near edge x-ray fine
structure spectroscopy (NEXAFS) study at O K edge. Sample of ZnO was prepared
by co-precipitation method. XRD and selective area electron diffraction
measurements infer that ZnO rods exhibit a single phase polycrystalline nature
with wurtzite lattice. Field emission transmission electron microscopy, field
emission scanning electron microscopy micrographs infers that ZnO have rod type
microstructures with dimension 200 nm in diameter and 550 nm in length. M-H
loop studies performed at room temperature display room temperature
ferromagnetism in ZnO rods. NEXAFS study reflects absence of the oxygen
vacancies in pure ZnO rods.Comment: 8 Pages, 3 Figure
Molecular evidence of the haploid origin in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) with Aegilops kotschyi cytoplasm and whole genome expression profiling after haploidization
Aegiolops kotschyi cytoplasmic male sterile system often results in part of haploid plants in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). To elucidate the origin of haploid, 235 wheat microsatellite (SSR) primers were randomly selected and screened for polymorphism between haploid (2n = 3x = 21 ABD) and its parents, male-sterile line YM21 (2n = 6x = 42 AABBDD) and male fertile restorer YM2 (2n = 6x = 42 AABBDD). About 200 SSR markers yielded clear bands from denatured PAGE, of which 180 markers have identifiable amplification patterns, and 20 markers (around 8%) resulted in different amplification products between the haploid and the restorer, YM2. There were no SSR markers that were found to be distinguishable between the haploid and the male sterile line YM21. In addition, different distribution of HMW-GS between endosperm and seedlings from the same seeds further confirmed that the haploid genomes were inherited from the maternal parent. After haploidization, 1.7% and 0.91% of total sites were up- and down-regulated exceeding twofold in the shoot and the root of haploid, respectively, and most of the differentially expressed loci were up/down-regulated about twofold. Out of the sensitive loci in haploid, 94 loci in the shoot, 72 loci in the root can be classified into three functional subdivisions: biological process, cellular component and molecular function, respectively
Argon annealing of the oxygen-isotope exchanged manganite La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}MnO_{3+y}
We have resolved a controversial issue concerning the oxygen-isotope shift of
the ferromagnetic transition temperature T_{C} in the manganite
La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}MnO_{3+y}. We show that the giant oxygen-isotope shift of T_C
observed in the normal oxygen-isotope exchanged samples is indeed intrinsic,
while a much smaller shift observed in the argon annealed samples is an
artifact. The argon annealing causes the 18O sample to partially exchange back
to the 16O isotope due to a small 16O contamination in the Ar gas. Such a
contamination is commonly caused by the oxygen outgas that is trapped in the
tubes, connectors and valves. The present results thus umambiguously
demonstrate that the observed large oxygen isotope effect is an intrinsic
property of manganites, and places an important constraint on the basic physics
of these materials.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, submitted to PR
Spin-Glass State in
Magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, specific heat and positive muon spin
relaxation (\musr) measurements have been used to characterize the magnetic
ground-state of the spinel compound . We observe a spin-glass
transition of the S=1/2 spins below characterized
by a cusp in the susceptibility curve which suppressed when a magnetic field is
applied. We show that the magnetization of depends on the
magnetic histo Well below , the muon signal resembles the dynamical
Kubo-Toyabe expression reflecting that the spin freezing process in results Gaussian distribution of the magnetic moments. By means of
Monte-Carlo simulati we obtain the relevant exchange integrals between the spins in this compound.Comment: 6 pages, 16 figure
Polaron features of the one-dimensional Holstein Molecular Crystal Model
The polaron features of the one-dimensional Holstein Molecular Crystal Model
are investigated by improving a variational method introduced recently and
based on a linear superposition of Bloch states that describe large and small
polaron wave functions. The mean number of phonons, the polaron kinetic energy,
the electron-phonon local correlation function, and the ground state spectral
weight are calculated and discussed. A crossover regime between large and small
polaron for any value of the adiabatic parameter is found and a
polaron phase diagram is proposed.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figure
Colossal magnetooptical conductivity in doped manganites
We show that the current carrier density collapse in doped manganites, which
results from bipolaron formation in the paramagnetic phase, leads to a colossal
change of the optical conductivity in an external magnetic field at
temperatures close to the ferromagnetic transition. As with the colossal
magnetoresistance (CMR) itself, the corresponding magnetooptical effect is
explained by the dissociation of localized bipolarons into mobile polarons
owing to the exchange interaction with the localized Mn spins in the
ferromagnetic phase. The effect is positive at low frequencies and negative in
the high-frequency region. The present results agree with available
experimental observations.Comment: 4 pages, REVTeX 3.0, two eps-figures included in the tex
On the effects of the magnetic field and the isotopic substitution upon the infrared absorption of manganites
Employing a variational approach that takes into account electron-phonon and
magnetic interactions in perovskites with , the
effects of the magnetic field and the oxygen isotope substitution on the phase
diagram, the electron-phonon correlation function and the infrared absorption
at are studied. The lattice displacements show a strong correlation
with the conductivity and the magnetic properties of the system. Then the
conductivity spectra are characterized by a marked sensitivity to the external
parameters near the phase boundary.Comment: 10 figure
Modification of the ground state in Sm-Sr manganites by oxygen isotope substitution
The effect of O O isotope substitution on electrical
resistivity and magnetic susceptibility of SmSrMnO manganites
is analyzed. It is shown that the oxygen isotope substitution drastically
affects the phase diagram at the crossover region between the ferromagnetic
metal state and that of antiferromagnetic insulator (0.4 0.6), and
induces the metal-insulator transition at for = 0.475 and 0.5. The nature
of antiferromagnetic insulator phase is discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 3 eps figures, RevTeX, submitted to Phys. Rev. Let
