    Toroidal multipoles are a topic of increasing interest in the nanophotonics and metamaterials communities. In this paper, we separate out the toroidal multipole components of multipole expansions in polar coordinates (two- and three-dimensional) by expanding the Bessel or spherical Bessel functions. We discuss the formation of the lowest order of magnetic anapoles from the interaction between the magnetic toroidal dipole and the magnetic dipole. Our method also reveals that there are higher order current configurations other than the electric toroidal multipole that have the same radiation characteristics as the pure electric dipole. Furthermore, we find that the anapole condition requires that there is a perfect cancellation of all higher order current configurations

    Unified parametrization of quark and lepton mixing matrices in tri-bimaximal pattern

    Parametrization of the quark and lepton mixing matrices is the first attempt to understand the mixing of fermions. In this work, we parameterize the quark and lepton matrices with the help of quark-lepton complementarity (QLC) in a tri-bimaximal pattern of lepton mixing matrix. In this way, we combine the parametrization of the two matrices with each other. We apply this new parametrization to several physical quantities, and show its simplicity in the expression of, e.g., the Jarlskog parameter of CP violation.Comment: 12 latex page

    Contribution of DKDK Continuum in the QCD Sum Rule for DsJ(2317)D_{sJ}(2317)

    Using the soft-pion theorem and the assumption on the final-state interactions, we include the contribution of DKDK continuum into the QCD sum rules for DsJ(2317)D_{sJ}(2317) meson. We find that this contribution can significantly lower the mass and the decay constant of Ds(0+)D_s(0^+) state. For the value of the current quark mass mc(mc)=1.286GeVm_c(m_c)=1.286 {\rm GeV}, we obtain the mass of Ds(0+)D_s(0^+) M=2.33Β±0.02GeVM=2.33 \pm 0.02 {\rm GeV} in the interval s0=7.5βˆ’8.0GeV2s_0=7.5-8.0 {\rm GeV}^2, being in agreement with the experimental data, and the vector current decay constant of Ds(0+)D_s(0^+) f0=0.128Β±0.013GeVf_0=0.128 \pm 0.013 {\rm GeV}, much lower than those obtained in previous literature

    Is there a finite mobility for the one vibrational mode Holstein model? Implications from real time simulations

    Full text link
    The question of whether there exists a finite mobility in the standard Holstein model with one vibrational mode on each site remains unclear. In this letter, we approach this problem by employing the hierarchical equation of motion (HEOM) method to simulate model systems where the vibrational modes are dissipative. It is found that, as the friction becomes smaller, the charge carrier mobility increases significantly and a friction free limit can not be obtained. The current autocorrelation functions are also calculated for the friction free Holstein model, and converged results can not be obtained with the increase of the number of sites. Based on these observations, we conclude that a finite mobility can not be defined for the standard Holstein model, which is consistent with the recent finding by Kolss {\it et al.} (Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 126601)
