Interface control of ferroelectricity in LaNiO3-BaTiO3 superlattices
LaNiO-BaTiO superlattices with different types of interfaces are
studied from first-principles density-functional theory. It is revealed that
the ferroelectricity in the superlattice with (NiO)/(BaO)
interfaces is enhanced from that of the superlattice with
(LaO)/(TiO) interfaces. The origin lies at the polar discontinuity
at the interface, which makes the holes localized within the
(NiO)/(BaO) interface, but drives a penetration of electrons into
BaTiO component near (LaO)/(TiO) interface. Our calculations
demonstrate an effective avenue to the robust ferroelectricity in BaTiO
ultrathin films.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figure
Revisiting the as a hadronic molecule and its strong decays
Recently, the Belle collaboration measured the ratios of the branching
fractions of the newly observed excited state. They did not
observe significant signals for the decay, and reported an upper limit for the ratio of the three
body decay to the two body decay mode of . In
this work, we revisit the newly observed from the molecular
perspective where this resonance appears to be a dynamically generated state
with spin-parity from the coupled channels interactions of the and in -wave and in -wave. With
the model parameters for the -wave interaction, we show that the ratio of
these decay fractions reported recently by the Belle collaboration can be
easily accommodated.Comment: Published version. Published in Eur.\ Phys.\ J.\ C {\bf 80}, 361
