Pre-Main Sequence Evolutions of Solar Abundance Lowmass Stars
We present the Pre-Main-Sequence (PMS) evolutionary tracks of stars with 0.0065~5.0Ms. The models were evolved from the PMS stellar birthline to the onset of hydrogen burning in the core. The convective turnover timescales which enables an observational test of theoretical model, particulary in the stellar dynamic activity, are also calculated. All models have Sun-like metal abundances, typically considered as the stars in the Galactic disk and the star formation region of Population I star. The convection phenomenon is treated by the usual mixing length approximation. All evolutionary tracks are available upon request
Spin transport through a single self-assembled InAs quantum dot with ferromagnetic leads
We have fabricated a lateral double barrier magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ)
which consists of a single self-assembled InAs quantum dot (QD) with
ferromagnetic Co leads. The MTJ shows clear hysteretic tunnel magnetoresistance
(TMR) effect, which is evidence for spin transport through a single
semiconductor QD. The TMR ratio and the curve shapes are varied by changing the
gate voltage.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Optical Investigations of Charge Gap in Orbital Ordered La1/2Sr3/2MnO4
Temperature and polarization dependent electronic structure of La1/2Sr3/2MnO4
were investigated by optical conductivity analyses. With decreasing
temperature, for E//ab, a broad mid-infrared (MIR) peak of La1/2Sr3/2MnO4
becomes narrower and moves to the higher frequency, while that of
Nd1/2Sr3/2MnO4 nearly temperature independent. We showed that the MIR peak in
La1/2Sr3/2MnO4 originates from orbital ordering associated with CE-type
magnetic ordering and that the Jahn-Teller distortion has a significant
influence on the width and the position of the MIR peak.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure
