A general condition of inflationary cosmology on trans-Planckian physics
We consider a more general initial condition satisfying the minimal
uncertainty relationship. We calculate the power spectrum of a simple model in
inflationary cosmology. The results depend on perturbations generated below a
fundamental scale, e.g. the Planck scale.Comment: 7 pages, References adde
Diagnostic for Dilaton Dark Energy
diagnostic can differentiate between different models of dark energy
without the accurate current value of matter density. We apply this geometric
diagnostic to dilaton dark energy(DDE) model and differentiate DDE model from
LCDM. We also investigate the influence of coupled parameter on the
evolutive behavior of with respect to redshift . According to the
numerical result of , we get the current value of equation of state
=-0.952 which fits the WMAP5+BAO+SN very well.Comment: 6 pages and 6 figures
Nonminimal Inflation and the Running Spectral Index
We study a class of models in which the inflaton is minimally coupled to
gravity with a term f(R)\vp^2. We focus in particular on the case when , the expansion of the scale factor is driven by the usual potential
energy, while the rolling of the inflaton is driven by the nonminial coupling.
We show that the power spectrum is in general blue, and the problem of getting
a running spectral index is eased. However, the inflaton potential must have a
large second derivative in order to get a large running.Comment: 9 pages, harvma
Correlation of interfacial bonding mechanism and equilibrium conductance of molecular junctions
We report theoretical investigations on the role of interfacial bonding
mechanism and its resulting structures to quantum transport in molecular wires.
Two bonding mechanisms for the Au-S bond in an
Au(111)/1,4-benzenedithiol(BDT)/Au(111) junction were identified by ab initio
calculation, confirmed by a recent experiment, which, we showed, critically
control charge conduction. It was found, for Au/ BDT/Au junctions, the hydrogen
atom, bound by a dative bond to the Sulfur, is energetically non-dissociative
after the interface formation. The calculated conductance and junction
breakdown forces of H-non-dissociative Au/BDT/Au devices are consistent with
the experimental values, while the H-dissociated devices, with the interface
governed by typical covalent bonding, give conductance more than an order of
magnitude larger. By examining the scattering states that traverse the
junctions, we have revealed that mechanical and electric properties of a
junction have strong correlation with the bonding configuration. This work
clearly demonstrates that the interfacial details, rather than previously
believed many-body effects, is of vital importance for correctly predicting
equilibrium conductance of molecular junctions; and manifests that the
interfacial contact must be carefully understood for investigating quantum
transport properties of molecular nanoelectronics.Comment: 18 pages, 6 figures, 2 tables, to be appeared in Frontiers of Physics

Unifying phantom inflation with late-time acceleration: scalar phantom-non-phantom transition model and generalized holographic dark energy
The unifying approach to early-time and late-time universe based on phantom
cosmology is proposed. We consider gravity-scalar system which contains usual
potential and scalar coupling function in front of kinetic term. As a result,
the possibility of phantom-non-phantom transition appears in such a way that
universe could have effectively phantom equation of state at early time as well
as at late time. In fact, the oscillating universe may have several phantom and
non-phantom phases. As a second model we suggest generalized holographic dark
energy where infrared cutoff is identified with combination of FRW parameters:
Hubble constant, particle and future horizons, cosmological constant and
universe life-time (if finite). Depending on the specific choice of the model
the number of interesting effects occur: the possibility to solve the
coincidence problem, crossing of phantom divide and unification of early-time
inflationary and late-time accelerating phantom universe. The bound for
holographic entropy which decreases in phantom era is also discussed.Comment: 13 pages, clarifications/refs added, to match with published versio
Unrestricted Hartree-Fock Analysis of SrCaRuO
We investigated the electronic and magnetic structure of
SrCaRuO () on the basis of the
double-layered three-dimensional multiband Hubbard model with spin-orbit
interaction. In our model, lattice distortion is implemented as the modulation
of transfer integrals or a crystal field. The most stable states are estimated
within the unrestricted Hartree-Fock approximation, in which the colinear spin
configurations with five different spin-quantization axes are adopted as
candidates. The obtained spin structures for some particular lattice
distortions are consistent with the neutron diffraction results for
CaRuO. Also, some magnetic phase transitions can occur due to
changes in lattice distortion. These results facilitate the comprehensive
understanding of the phase diagram of SrCaRuO.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figure

Observation of and confirmation of its large branching fraction
The baryonic decay is observed, and the
corresponding branching fraction is measured to be
, where the first uncertainty is statistical
and second systematic. The data sample used in this analysis was collected with
the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII double-ring collider with
a center-of-mass energy of 4.178~GeV and an integrated luminosity of
3.19~fb. The result confirms the previous measurement by the CLEO
Collaboration and is of greatly improved precision, which may deepen our
understanding of the dynamical enhancement of the W-annihilation topology in
the charmed meson decays
