Intrinsic Percolative Superconductivity in Heavily Overdoped High Temperature Superconductors
Magnetic measurements on heavily overdoped ,
, and single crystals reveal
a new type magnetization hysteresis loops characterized by the vanishing of
usual central peak near zero field. Since this effect has been observed in
various systems with very different structural details, it reflects probably a
generic behavior for all high temperature superconductors. This easy
penetration of magnetic flux can be understood in the picture of percolative
superconductivity due to the inhomogeneous electronic state in heavily
overdoped regime.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure

Submillimeter Array multiline observations of the massive star-forming region IRAS 18089-1732
Submillimeter Array (SMA) observations of the high-mass star-forming region
IRAS 18089-1732 in the 1 mm and 850 m band with 1 GHz bandwidth reveal a
wealth of information. We present the observations of 34 lines from 16
different molecular species. Most molecular line maps show significant
contributions from the outflow, and only few molecules are confined to the
inner core. We present and discuss the molecular line observations and outline
the unique capabilities of the SMA for future imaging line surveys at high
spatial resolution.Comment: Accepted for ApJ Letters, SMA special volum
SMA outflow/disk studies in the massive star-forming region IRAS18089-1732
SMA observations of the massive star-forming region IRAS 18089-1732 in the
1mm and 850mu band reveal outflow and disk signatures in different molecular
lines. The SiO(5--4) data show a collimated outflow in the northern direction.
In contrast, the HCOOCH3(20--19) line, which traces high-density gas, is
confined to the very center of the region and shows a velocity gradient across
the core. The HCOOCH3 velocity gradient is not exactly perpendicular to the
outflow axis but between an assumed disk plane and the outflow axis. We
interpret these HCOOCH3 features as originating from a rotating disk that is
influenced by the outflow and infall. Based on the (sub-)mm continuum emission,
the mass of the central core is estimated to be around 38M_sun. The dynamical
mass derived from the HCOOCH3 data is 22Msun, of about the same order as the
core mass. Thus, the mass of the protostar/disk/envelope system is dominated by
its disk and envelope. The two frequency continuum data of the core indicate a
low dust opacity index beta ~ 1.2 in the outer part, decreasing to beta ~ 0.5
on shorter spatial scales.Comment: 7 pages of text, 1 table, 3 figures, accepted for ApJ Letter
Scalar-Kinetic Branes
This work tries to find out thick brane solutions in braneworld scenarios
described by a real scalar field in the presence of a scalar-kinetic term
with a single extra dimension, where
stands for the standard kinetic term and
. We mainly consider bent branes, namely de Sitter and Anti-de
Sitter four-dimensional slices. The solutions of a flat brane are obtained when
taking the four-dimensional cosmological constant .
When the parameter , these solutions turn to those of the standard
scenario. The localization and spectrum of graviton on these branes are also
analyzed.Comment: 10 pages, no figures, accepted by EP
