Exotic mesons from quantum chromodynamics with improved gluon and quark actions on the anisotropic lattice
Hybrid (exotic) mesons, which are important predictions of quantum
chromodynamics (QCD), are states of quarks and anti-quarks bound by excited
gluons. First principle lattice study of such states would help us understand
the role of ``dynamical'' color in low energy QCD and provide valuable
information for experimental search for these new particles. In this paper, we
apply both improved gluon and quark actions to the hybrid mesons, which might
be much more efficient than the previous works in reducing lattice spacing
error and finite volume effect. Quenched simulations were done at
and on a anisotropic lattice using our PC cluster. We
obtain MeV for the mass of the hybrid meson
in the light quark sector, and Mev in the
charm quark sector; the mass splitting between the hybrid meson in the charm quark sector and the spin averaged S-wave charmonium mass
is estimated to be MeV. As a byproduct, we obtain MeV for the mass of a P-wave or
meson and MeV for the mass of a P-wave meson, which are comparable to their experimental value 1426 MeV for the
meson. The first error is statistical, and the second one is
systematical. The mixing of the hybrid meson with a four quark state is also
discussed.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures. Published versio
The perfect spin injection in silicene FS/NS junction
We theoretically investigate the spin injection from a ferromagnetic silicene
to a normal silicene (FS/NS), where the magnetization in the FS is assumed from
the magnetic proximity effect. Based on a silicene lattice model, we
demonstrated that the pure spin injection could be obtained by tuning the Fermi
energy of two spin species, where one is in the spin orbit coupling gap and the
other one is outside the gap. Moreover, the valley polarity of the spin species
can be controlled by a perpendicular electric field in the FS region. Our
findings may shed light on making silicene-based spin and valley devices in the
spintronics and valleytronics field.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure

Hysteresis and Anisotropic Magnetoresistance in Antiferromagnetic
The out-of-plane resistivity () and magnetoresistivity (MR) are
studied in antiferromangetic (AF) single crystals, which
have three types of noncollinear antiferromangetic spin structures. The
apparent signatures are observed in measured at the zero-field and
14 T at the spin structure transitions, giving a definite evidence for the
itinerant electrons directly coupled to the localized spins. One of striking
feature is an anisotropy of the MR with a fourfold symmetry upon rotating the
external field (B) within ab plane in the different phases, while twofold
symmetry at spin reorientation transition temperatures. The intriguing thermal
hysteresis in and magnetic hysteresis in MR are observed at spin
reorientation transition temperatures.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Metric adjusted skew information: Convexity and restricted forms of superadditivity
We give a truly elementary proof of the convexity of metric adjusted skew
information following an idea of Effros. We extend earlier results of weak
forms of superadditivity to general metric adjusted skew informations.
Recently, Luo and Zhang introduced the notion of semi-quantum states on a
bipartite system and proved superadditivity of the Wigner-Yanase-Dyson skew
informations for such states. We extend this result to general metric adjusted
skew informations. We finally show that a recently introduced extension to
parameter values of the WYD-information is a special case of
(unbounded) metric adjusted skew information.Comment: An error in the literature is pointed ou
Improved lattice QCD with quarks: the 2 dimensional case
QCD in two dimensions is investigated using the improved fermionic lattice
Hamiltonian proposed by Luo, Chen, Xu, and Jiang. We show that the improved
theory leads to a significant reduction of the finite lattice spacing errors.
The quark condensate and the mass of lightest quark and anti-quark bound state
in the strong coupling phase (different from t'Hooft phase) are computed. We
find agreement between our results and the analytical ones in the continuum.Comment: LaTeX file (including text + 10 figures
Integer quantum Hall effect and topological phase transitions in silicene
We numerically investigate the effects of disorder on the quantum Hall effect
(QHE) and the quantum phase transitions in silicene based on a lattice model.
It is shown that for a clean sample, silicene exhibits an unconventional QHE
near the band center, with plateaus developing at and
a conventional QHE near the band edges. In the presence of disorder, the Hall
plateaus can be destroyed through the float-up of extended levels toward the
band center, in which higher plateaus disappear first. However, the center
Hall plateau is more sensitive to disorder and disappears at a
relatively weak disorder strength. Moreover, the combination of an electric
field and the intrinsic spin-orbit interaction (SOI) can lead to quantum phase
transitions from a topological insulator to a band insulator at the charge
neutrality point (CNP), accompanied by additional quantum Hall conductivity
plateaus.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure
