Growth Dynamics of Photoinduced Domains in Two-Dimensional Charge-Ordered Conductors Depending on Stabilization Mechanisms
Photoinduced melting of horizontal-stripe charge orders in
quasi-two-dimensional organic conductors
\theta-(BEDT-TTF)2RbZn(SCN)4[BEDT-TTF=bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene]
and
\alpha-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 is investigated theoretically. By numerically solving
the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation, we study the photoinduced dynamics
in extended Peierls-Hubbard models on anisotropic triangular lattices within
the
Hartree-Fock approximation. The melting of the charge order needs more energy
for \theta-(BEDT-TTF)2RbZn(SCN)4 than for \alpha-(BEDT-TTF)2I3, which is a
consequence of the larger stabilization energy in \theta-(BEDT-TTF)2RbZn(SCN)4.
After local photoexcitation in the charge ordered states, the growth of a
photoinduced domain shows anisotropy. In \theta-(BEDT-TTF)2RbZn(SCN)4, the
domain hardly expands to the direction perpendicular to the horizontal-stripes.
This is because all the molecules on the hole-rich stripe are rotated in one
direction and those on the hole-poor stripe in the other direction. They
modulate horizontally connected transfer integrals homogeneously, stabilizing
the charge order stripe by stripe. In \alpha-(BEDT-TTF)2I3, lattice distortions
locally stabilize the charge order so that it is easily weakened by local
photoexcitation. The photoinduced domain indeed expands in the plane. These
results are consistent with recent observation by femtosecond reflection
spectroscopy.Comment: 9 pages, 8 figures, to appear in J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. Vol. 79 (2010)

Effects of Electron-Lattice Coupling on Charge Order in \theta-(ET)2X
Charge ordering accompanied by lattice distortion in quasi-two dimensional
organic conductors \theta-(ET)2X (ET=BEDT-TTF) is studied by using an extended
Hubbard model with Peierls-type electron-lattice couplings within the
Hartree-Fock approximation. It is found that the horizontal-stripe
charge-ordered state, which is experimentally observed in
\theta-(ET)2RbZn(SCN)4, is stabilized by the self-consistently determined
lattice distortion. Furthermore, in the presence of the anisotropy in
nearest-neighbor Coulomb interactions Vij, the horizontal charge order becomes
more stable than any other charge patterns such as diagonal, vertical and
3-fold-type states. At finite temperatures, we compare the free energies of
various charge-ordered states and find a first-order transition from a metallic
state with 3-fold charge order to the insulating state with the horizontal
charge order. The role of lattice degrees of freedom in the realization of the
horizontal charge order and the relevance to experiments on \theta-(ET)2X are
discussed
Charge Order with Structural Distortion in Organic Conductors: Comparison between \theta-(ET)2RbZn(SCN)4 and \alpha-(ET)2I3
Charge ordering with structural distortion in quasi-two-dimensional organic
conductors \theta-(ET)2RbZn(SCN)4 (ET=BEDT-TTF) and \alpha-(ET)2I3 is
investigated theoretically. By using the Hartree-Fock approximation for an
extended Hubbard model which includes both on-site and intersite Coulomb
interactions together with Peierls-type electron-lattice couplings, we examine
the role of lattice degrees of freedom on charge order. It is found that the
experimentally observed, horizontal charge order is stabilized by lattice
distortion in both compounds. In particular, the lattice effect is crucial to
the realization of the charge order in \theta-(ET)2RbZn(SCN)4, while the
peculiar band structure whose symmetry is lower than that of
\theta-(ET)2RbZn(SCN)4 in the metallic phase is also an important factor in
\alpha-(ET)2I3 together with the lattice distortion. For \alpha-(ET)2I3, we
obtain a phase transition from a charge-disproportionated metallic phase to the
horizontal charge order with lattice modulations, which is consistent with the
latest X-ray experimental result.Comment: 10 pages, 13 figures, to appear in J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. Vol. 77 (2008)

Measurement of the lepton charge asymmetry in W-boson decays produced in p-pbar collisions
We describe a measurement of the charge asymmetry of leptons from W boson
decays in the rapidity range 0 enu, munu events from
110+/-7 pb^{-1}of data collected by the CDF detector during 1992-95. The
asymmetry data constrain the ratio of d and u quark momentum distributions in
the proton over the x range of 0.006 to 0.34 at Q2 \approx M_W^2. The asymmetry
predictions that use parton distribution functions obtained from previously
published CDF data in the central rapidity region (0.0<|y_l|<1.1) do not agree
with the new data in the large rapidity region (|y_l|>1.1).Comment: 13 pages, 3 tables, 1 figur
Measurement of the Decay Amplitudes of B0 --> J/psi K* and B0s --> J/psi phi Decays
A full angular analysis has been performed for the pseudo-scalar to
vector-vector decays, B0 --> J/psi K* and B_s --> J/psi phi, to determine the
amplitudes for decays with parity-even longitudinal and transverse polarization
and parity-odd transverse polarization. The measurements are based on 190 B0
candidates and 40 B_s candidates collected from a data set corresponding to 89
inverse pb of pbarp collisions at root(s) = 1.8 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron.
In both decays the decay amplitude for longitudinal polarization dominates and
the parity-odd amplitude is found to be small.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures, 1 tabl
Observation of Hadronic W Decays in t-tbar Events with the Collider Detector at Fermilab
We observe hadronic W decays in t-tbar -> W (-> l nu) + >= 4 jet events using
a 109 pb-1 data sample of p-pbar collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.8 TeV collected with
the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). A peak in the dijet invariant mass
distribution is obtained that is consistent with W decay and inconsistent with
the background prediction by 3.3 standard deviations. From this peak we measure
the W mass to be 77.2 +- 4.6 (stat+syst) GeV/c^2. This result demonstrates the
presence of two W bosons in t-tbar candidates in the W (-> l nu) + >= 4 jet
channel.Comment: 20 pages, 4 figures, submitted to PR
Measurement of J/Psi and Psi(2S) Polarization in ppbar Collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV
We have measured the polarization of J/Psi and Psi(2S) mesons produced in
p\bar{p} collisions at \sqrt{s} = 1.8 TeV, using data collected at CDF during
1992-95.
The polarization of promptly produced J/Psi [Psi(2S)] mesons is isolated from
those produced in B-hadron decay, and measured over the kinematic range 4[5.5]
< P_T < 20 GeV/c and |y| < 0.6. For P_T \gessim 12 GeV/c we do not observe
significant polarization in the prompt component.Comment: Revised version, accepted for publication in Physical Review Letter
Search for Narrow Diphoton Resonances and for gamma-gamma+W/Z Signatures in p\bar p Collisions at sqrt(s)=1.8 TeV
We present results of searches for diphoton resonances produced both
inclusively and also in association with a vector boson (W or Z) using 100
pb^{-1} of p\bar p collisions using the CDF detector. We set upper limits on
the product of cross section times branching ratio for both p\bar
p\to\gamma\gamma + X and p\bar p\to\gamma\gamma + W/Z. Comparing the inclusive
production to the expectations from heavy sgoldstinos we derive limits on the
supersymmetry-breaking scale sqrt{F} in the TeV range, depending on the
sgoldstino mass and the choice of other parameters. Also, using a NLO
prediction for the associated production of a Higgs boson with a W or Z boson,
we set an upper limit on the branching ratio for H\to\gamma\gamma. Finally, we
set a lower limit on the mass of a `bosophilic' Higgs boson (e.g. one which
couples only to \gamma, W, and Z$ bosons with standard model couplings) of 82
GeV/c^2 at 95% confidence level.Comment: 30 pages, 11 figure
Search for charged Higgs decays of the top quark using hadronic tau decays
We present the result of a search for charged Higgs decays of the top quark,
produced in collisions at 1.8 TeV. When the charged
Higgs is heavy and decays to a tau lepton, which subsequently decays
hadronically, the resulting events have a unique signature: large missing
transverse energy and the low-charged-multiplicity tau. Data collected in the
period 1992-1993 at the Collider Detector at Fermilab, corresponding to
18.70.7~pb, exclude new regions of combined top quark and charged
Higgs mass, in extensions to the standard model with two Higgs doublets.Comment: uuencoded, gzipped tar file of LaTeX and 6 Postscript figures; 11 pp;

Inclusive jet cross section in collisions at TeV
The inclusive jet differential cross section has been measured for jet
transverse energies, , from 15 to 440 GeV, in the pseudorapidity region
0.10.7. The results are based on 19.5 pb of data
collected by the CDF collaboration at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The data
are compared with QCD predictions for various sets of parton distribution
functions. The cross section for jets with GeV is significantly
higher than current predictions based on O() perturbative QCD
calculations. Various possible explanations for the high- excess are
discussed.Comment: 8 pages with 2 eps uu-encoded figures Submitted to Physical Review
