Analysis of heavy spin--3/2 baryon--heavy spin--1/2 baryon--light vector meson vertices in QCD
The heavy spin--3/2 baryon--heavy spin--1/2 baryon vertices with light vector
mesons are studied within the light cone QCD sum rules method. These vertices
are parametrized in terms of three coupling constants. These couplings are
calculated for all possible transitions. It is shown that correlation functions
for these transitions are described by only one invariant function for every
Lorenz structure. The obtained relations between the correlation functions of
the different transitions are structure independent while explicit expressions
of invariant functions depend on the Lorenz structure.Comment: 17 Pages, 6 Figures and 4 Table
Dynamic coexistence of various configurations: clusters vs.nuclei
The presence of energy shells in metallic clusters and atomic nuclei leads to
a peculiar relation between the number of particles N and the structure, and
this leads to a strong correlation between the energy spectrum and N. An
analysis of experimental data leads to the conclusion that, in addition to the
static Jahn-Teller effect, the dynamic effect leading to the quantum
coexistence of different configurations (quantum oscillations) plays an
important role. Such suggested coexistence is an essential feature of clusters
as well as nuclei, both finite Fermi systems.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figure
Hyperelliptic curves for multi-channel quantum wires and the multi-channel Kondo problem
We study the current in a multi-channel quantum wire and the magnetization in
the multi-channel Kondo problem. We show that at zero temperature they can be
written simply in terms of contour integrals over a (two-dimensional)
hyperelliptic curve. This allows one to easily demonstrate the existence of
weak-coupling to strong-coupling dualities. In the Kondo problem, the curve is
the same for under- and over-screened cases; the only change is in the contour.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure, revte
Tunnelling Spectroscopy of Localized States near the Quantum Hall Edge
In the paper we dscuss experimental results of M. Grayson et al. on tunneling
- characteristics of the quantum Hall edge. We suggest a two step
tunneling mechanism involving localized electron states near the edge, which
might account for discrepancy between the experimental data and the predictions
of the chiral Luttinger liquid theory of the quantum Hall edge.Comment: 4 pages, revte
Hall-effect and resistivity measurements in CdTe and ZnTe at high pressure: Electronic structure of impurities in the zincblende phase and the semi-metallic or metallic character of the high-pressure phases
We carried out high-pressure resistivity and Hall-effect measurements in
single crystals of CdTe and ZnTe up to 12 GPa. Slight changes of transport
parameters in the zincblende phase of CdTe are consitent with the shallow
character of donor impurities. Drastic changes in all the transport parameters
of CdTe were found around 4 GPa, i.e. close to the onset of the cinnabar to
rock-salt transition. In particular, the carrier concentration increases by
more than five orders of magnitude. Additionally, an abrupt decrease of the
resistivity was detected around 10 GPa. These results are discussed in
comparison with optical, thermoelectric, and x-ray diffraction experiments. The
metallic character of the Cmcm phase of CdTe is confirmed and a semi-metallic
character is determined for the rock-salt phase. In zincblende ZnTe, the
increase of the hole concentration by more than two orders of magnitude is
proposed to be due to a deep-to-shallow transformation of the acceptor levels.
Between 9 and 11 GPa, transport parameters are consistent with the
semiconducting character of cinnabar ZnTe. A two orders of magnitude decrease
of the resistivity and a carrier-type inversion occurs at 11 GPa, in agreement
with the onset of the transition to the Cmcm phase of ZnTe. A metallic
character for this phase is deduced.Comment: 20 pages, 4 figure
Solid-State Quantum Computer Based on Scanning Tunneling Microscopy
We propose a solid-state nuclear spin quantum computer based on application
of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and well-developed silicon technology.
It requires the measurement of tunneling current modulation caused by the
Larmor precession of a single electron spin.
Our envisioned STM quantum computer would operate at the high magnetic field
(T) and at low temperature K.Comment: 3pages RevTex including 2 figure
