Higher Partial Waves in an Effective Field Theory Approach to nd Scattering
The phase shifts for the higher partial waves (l\ge 1) in the spin quartet
and doublet channel of nd scattering at centre-of-mass energies up to 15 MeV
are presented at next-to-leading and next-to-next-to-leading order in an
effective field theory in which pions are integrated out. As available, the
results agree with both phase shift analyses and potential model calculations.Comment: 23 pages LaTeX2e with 8 figures, uses packages includegraphicx (18

Low-energy p-d Scattering: High Precision Data, Comparisons with Theory, and Phase-Shift Analyses
Angular distributions of sigma(theta), A_y, iT_11, T_20, T_21, and T_22 have
been measured for d-p scattering at E_c.m.=667 keV. This set of high-precision
data is compared to variational calculations with the nucleon-nucleon potential
alone and also to calculations including a three-nucleon (3N) potential.
Agreement with cross-section and tensor analyzing power data is excellent when
a 3N potential is used. However, a comparison between the vector analyzing
powers reveals differences of approximately 40% in the maxima of the angular
distributions which is larger than reported at higher energies for both p-d and
n-d scattering. Single-energy phase-shift analyses were performed on this data
set and a similar data set at E_c.m.=431.3 keV. The role of the different
phase-shift parameters in fitting these data is discussed.Comment: 18 pages, 6 figure

Curie temperature enhancement of electron doped SrFeMoO perovskites studied by photoemission spectroscopy
We report here on the electronic structure of electron-doped half-metallic
ferromagnetic perovskites such SrLaFeMoO (=0-0.6) as
obtained from high-resolved valence-band photoemission spectroscopy (PES). By
comparing the PES spectra with band structure calculations, a distinctive peak
at the Fermi level (E) with predominantly (Fe+Mo) t
character has been evidenced for all samples, irrespectively of the values
investigated. Moreover, we show that the electron doping due to the La
substitution provides selectively delocalized carriers to the
t metallic spin channel. Consequently, a gradual rising of
the density of states at the E has been observed as a function of the La
doping. By changing the incoming photon energy we have shown that electron
doping mainly rises the density of states of Mo parentage. These findings
provide fundamental clues for understanding the origin of ferromagnetism in
these oxides and shall be of relevance for tailoring oxides having still higher

Frequency Shift of Carbon-Nanotube-Based Mass Sensor Using Nonlocal Elasticity Theory
The frequency equation of carbon-nanotube-based cantilever sensor with an attached mass is derived analytically using nonlocal elasticity theory. According to the equation, the relationship between the frequency shift of the sensor and the attached mass can be obtained. When the nonlocal effect is not taken into account, the variation of frequency shift with the attached mass on the sensor is compared with the previous study. According to this study, the result shows that the frequency shift of the sensor increases with increasing the attached mass. When the attached mass is small compared with that of the sensor, the nonlocal effect is obvious and increasing nonlocal parameter decreases the frequency shift of the sensor. In addition, when the location of the attached mass is closer to the free end, the frequency shift is more significant and that makes the sensor reveal more sensitive. When the attached mass is small, a high sensitivity is obtained
Angle-resolved photoemission study and first principles calculation of the electronic structure of GaTe
The electronic band structure of GaTe has been calculated by numerical atomic
orbitals density-functional theory, in the local density approximation. In
addition, the valence-band dispersion along various directions of the GaTe
Brillouin zone has been determined experimentally by angle-resolved
photoelectron spectroscopy. Along these directions, the calculated valence-band
structure is in good concordance with the valence-band dispersion obtained by
these measurements. It has been established that GaTe is a direct-gap
semiconductor with the band gap located at the Z point, that is, at Brillouin
zone border in the direction perpendicular to the layers. The valence-band
maximum shows a marked \textit{p}-like behavior, with a pronounced anion
contribution. The conduction band minimum arises from states with a comparable
\textit{s}- \textit{p}-cation and \textit{p}-anion orbital contribution.
Spin-orbit interaction appears to specially alter dispersion and binding energy
of states of the topmost valence bands lying at . By spin-orbit, it is
favored hybridization of the topmost \textit{p}-valence band with deeper
and flatter \textit{p}-\textit{p} bands and the valence-band minimum at
is raised towards the Fermi level since it appears to be determined by
the shifted up \textit{p}-\textit{p} bands.Comment: 7 text pages, 6 eps figures, submitted to PR
Performance of Monolayer Graphene Nanomechanical Resonators with Electrical Readout
The enormous stiffness and low density of graphene make it an ideal material
for nanoelectromechanical (NEMS) applications. We demonstrate fabrication and
electrical readout of monolayer graphene resonators, and test their response to
changes in mass and temperature. The devices show resonances in the MHz range.
The strong dependence of the resonant frequency on applied gate voltage can be
fit to a membrane model, which yields the mass density and built-in strain.
Upon removal and addition of mass, we observe changes in both the density and
the strain, indicating that adsorbates impart tension to the graphene. Upon
cooling, the frequency increases; the shift rate can be used to measure the
unusual negative thermal expansion coefficient of graphene. The quality factor
increases with decreasing temperature, reaching ~10,000 at 5 K. By establishing
many of the basic attributes of monolayer graphene resonators, these studies
lay the groundwork for applications, including high-sensitivity mass detectors
FLUTE, a linac based THz source
We propose a versatile THz source named FLUTE (Ferninfrarot Linac- Und Test-Experiment) based on a 30 - 50 MeV S-band linac with bunch compressor, that aimsat not only producing high field THz pulses but also at serving as a test facility to study accelerator physics issues. This source is an important step towards the planned ultra-broadband THz to mid infrared user facility TBONE. Special emphasis is put on studies of bunch compression as a function of bunch charge (0.1-5 nC) and of different generation mechanisms of coherent radiation (CSR, CER, CTR). This paper describes the design and layout of the proposed FLUTE machine and presents results of beam dynamic calculations with the tracking programs ASTRA and CSRtrack. In addition, calculations for the achievable peak electrical field and spectral characteristics for one version of the FLUTE layout are shown
Signatures of three-nucleon interactions in few-nucleon systems
Recent experimental results in three-body systems have unambiguously shown
that calculations based only on nucleon-nucleon forces fail to accurately
describe many experimental observables and one needs to include effects which
are beyond the realm of the two-body potentials. This conclusion owes its
significance to the fact that experiments and calculations can both be
performed with a high accuracy. In this review, both theoretical and
experimental achievements of the past decade will be underlined. Selected
results will be presented. The discussion on the effects of the three-nucleon
forces is, however, limited to the hadronic sector. It will be shown that
despite the major successes in describing these seemingly simple systems, there
are still clear discrepancies between data and the state-of-the-art
calculations.Comment: accepted for publication in Rep. Prog. Phy
