Light Hadron Spectrum in Quenched Lattice QCD with Staggered Quarks
Without chiral extrapolation, we achieved a realistic nucleon to (\rho)-meson
mass ratio of (m_N/m_\rho = 1.23 \pm 0.04 ({\rm statistical}) \pm 0.02 ({\rm
systematic})) in our quenched lattice QCD numerical calculation with staggered
quarks. The systematic error is mostly from finite-volume effect and the
finite-spacing effect is negligible. The flavor symmetry breaking in the pion
and (\rho) meson is no longer visible. The lattice cutoff is set at 3.63 (\pm)
0.06 GeV, the spatial lattice volume is (2.59 (\pm) 0.05 fm)(^3), and bare
quarks mass as low as 4.5 MeV are used. Possible quenched chiral effects in
hadron mass are discussed.Comment: 5 pages and 5 figures, use revtex
Internal localized eigenmodes on spin discrete breathers in antiferromagnetic chains with on-site easy axis anisotropy
We investigate internal localized eigenmodes of the linearized equation
around spin discrete breathers in 1D antiferromagnets with on-site easy axis
anisotropy. The threshold of occurrence of the internal localized eigenmodes
has a typical structure in parameter space depending on the frequency of the
spin discrete breather. We also performed molecular dynamics simulation in
order to show the validity of our linear analysis.Comment: 4 pages including 5 figure
Feynman's Decoherence
Gell-Mann's quarks are coherent particles confined within a hadron at rest,
but Feynman's partons are incoherent particles which constitute a hadron moving
with a velocity close to that of light. It is widely believed that the quark
model and the parton model are two different manifestations of the same
covariant entity. If this is the case, the question arises whether the Lorentz
boost destroys coherence. It is pointed out that this is not the case, and it
is possible to resolve this puzzle without inventing new physics. It is shown
that this decoherence is due to the measurement processes which are less than
complete.Comment: RevTex 15 pages including 6 figs, presented at the 9th Int'l

States near Dirac points of rectangular graphene dot in a magnetic field
In neutral graphene dots the Fermi level coincides with the Dirac points. We
have investigated in the presence of a magnetic field several unusual
properties of single electron states near the Fermi level of such a
rectangular-shaped graphene dot with two zigzag and two armchair edges. We find
that a quasi-degenerate level forms near zero energy and the number of states
in this level can be tuned by the magnetic field. The wavefunctions of states
in this level are all peaked on the zigzag edges with or without some weight
inside the dot. Some of these states are magnetic field-independent surface
states while the others are field-dependent. We have found a scaling result
from which the number of magnetic field-dependent states of large dots can be
inferred from those of smaller dots.Comment: Physical review B in pres
Comment on "Fock-Darwin States of Dirac Electrons in Graphene-Based Artificial Atoms"
Chen, Apalkov, and Chakraborty (Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 186803 (2007)) have
computed Fock-Darwin levels of a graphene dot by including only basis states
with energies larger than or equal to zero. We show that their results violate
the Hellman-Feynman theorem. A correct treatment must include both positive and
negative energy basis states. Additional basis states lead to new energy levels
in the optical spectrum and anticrossings between optical transition lines.Comment: 1 page, 1 figure, accepted for publication in PR
