An Analytic Solution of Hydrodynamic Equations with Source Terms in Heavy Ion Collisions
The energy and baryon densities in heavy ion collisions are estimated by
analytically solving a 1+1 dimensional hydrodynamical model with source terms.
Particularly, a competition between the energy and baryon sources and the
expansion of the system is discussed in detail.Comment: LaTeX2e, 7 pages, 4 postscript figures, submitted to Int. J. Mod.

Study of molecular spin-crossover complex Fe(phen)2(NCS)2 thin films
We report on the growth by evaporation under high vacuum of high-quality thin
films of Fe(phen)2(NCS)2 (phen=1,10-phenanthroline) that maintain the expected
electronic structure down to a thickness of 10 nm and that exhibit a
temperature-driven spin transition. We have investigated the current-voltage
characteristics of a device based on such films. From the space charge-limited
current regime, we deduce a mobility of 6.5x10-6 cm2/V?s that is similar to the
low-range mobility measured on the widely studied
tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminium organic semiconductor. This work paves the
way for multifunctional molecular devices based on spin-crossover complexes
On the microscopic dynamics of DCC formation
The dynamics of the pion field after a quench is studied in the framework of
the linear sigma model. Our aim is to determine to what extent the amplified
pion field resembles the DCC picture originally proposed in the early '90s. We
present the result of a computer experiment where, among other things, we study
in detail the correlation between isospin orientations of the distinct modes of
the field. We show that this correlation is absent. In a sense, the distinct
modes behave as distinct DCCs. The implications of this observation are
discussed.Comment: 19 pages, Latex2e, 7 figures in EPS, uses (included) boldgreek.sty

Circle talks as situated experiential learning: Context, identity, and knowledgeability in \u27learning from reflection\u27
This article presents research that used ethnographic and sociolinguistic methods to study ways participants learn through reflection when carried out as a “circle talk.” The data indicate that participants in the event (a) invoked different contextual frames that (b) implicated them in various identity positions, which (c) affected how they could express their knowledge. These features worked together to generate socially shared meanings that enabled participants to jointly achieve conceptualization—the ideational role “reflection” is presumed to play in the experiential learning process. The analysis supports the claim that participants generate new knowledge in reflection, but challenges individualistic and cognitive assumptions regarding how this occurs. The article builds on situated views of experiential learning by showing how knowledge can be understood as socially shared and how learning and identity formation are mutually entailing processes
Renormalization of nonequilibrium dynamics at large N and finite temperature
We generalize a previously proposed renormalization and computation scheme
for nonequilibrium dynamics to include finite temperature and one-loop
selfconsistency as arising in the large-N limit. Since such a scheme amounts
essentially to tadpole summation, it also includes, at high temperature, the
hard mass corrections proportional to T^2. We present some numerical examples
at T=0 and at finite temperature; the results reproduce the essential features
of other groups. Especially, we can confirm a recently discovered sum rule for
the late time behaviour.Comment: 20 pages, LaTeX, 12 Figures as ps-file
Bias-Dependent Generation and Quenching of Defects in Pentacene
We describe a defect in pentacene single crystals that is created by bias
stress and persists at room temperature for an hour in the dark but only
seconds with 420nm illumination. The defect gives rise to a hole trap at Ev +
0.38eV and causes metastable transport effects at room temperature. Creation
and decay rates of the hole trap have a 0.67eV activation energy with a small
(108 s-1) prefactor, suggesting that atomic motion plays a key role in the
generation and quenching process.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figure
Pion Production from Baked-Alaska Disoriented Chiral Condensate
We study the various stages of the evolution of chiral condensates
disoriented via the ``baked-alaska'' mechanism, in which the condensates are
described as the products of external sources localized on the light cone. Our
analysis is based on the classical equations of motion of either the linear or
the nonlinear sigma model. We use the associated framework of coherent states
and, especially, their source functions to make the connection to the
distribution functions for the produced particles. We also compare our
classical approach with a mean-field calculation which includes a certain class
of quantum corrections.Comment: replaced to correct misspelling of author's nam
