Multiple bound states in scissor-shaped waveguides
We study bound states of the two-dimensional Helmholtz equations with
Dirichlet boundary conditions in an open geometry given by two straight leads
of the same width which cross at an angle . Such a four-terminal
junction with a tunable can realized experimentally if a right-angle
structure is filled by a ferrite. It is known that for there is
one proper bound state and one eigenvalue embedded in the continuum. We show
that the number of eigenvalues becomes larger with increasing asymmetry and the
bound-state energies are increasing as functions of in the interval
. Moreover, states which are sufficiently strongly bent exist in
pairs with a small energy difference and opposite parities. Finally, we discuss
how with increasing the bound states transform into the quasi-bound
states with a complex wave vector.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure
Observation of Quantum Asymmetry in an Aharonov-Bohm Ring
We have investigated the Aharonov-Bohm effect in a one-dimensional
GaAs/GaAlAs ring at low magnetic fields. The oscillatory magnetoconductance of
these systems are for the first time systematically studied as a function of
density. We observe phase-shifts of in the magnetoconductance
oscillations, and halving of the fundamental period, as the density is
varied. Theoretically we find agreement with the experiment, by introducing an
asymmetry between the two arms of the ring.Comment: 4 pages RevTex including 3 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Conformal and Affine Hamiltonian Dynamics of General Relativity
The Hamiltonian approach to the General Relativity is formulated as a joint
nonlinear realization of conformal and affine symmetries by means of the Dirac
scalar dilaton and the Maurer-Cartan forms. The dominance of the Casimir vacuum
energy of physical fields provides a good description of the type Ia supernova
luminosity distance--redshift relation. Introducing the uncertainty principle
at the Planck's epoch within our model, we obtain the hierarchy of the Universe
energy scales, which is supported by the observational data. We found that the
invariance of the Maurer-Cartan forms with respect to the general coordinate
transformation yields a single-component strong gravitational waves. The
Hamiltonian dynamics of the model describes the effect of an intensive vacuum
creation of gravitons and the minimal coupling scalar (Higgs) bosons in the
Early Universe.Comment: 37 pages, version submitted to Gen. Rel. Gra
