Effect of inelastic collisions on multiphonon Raman scattering in graphene

We calculate the probabilities of two- and four-phonon Raman scattering in graphene and show how the relative intensities of the overtone peaks encode information about relative rates of different inelastic processes electrons are subject to. If the most important processes are electron-phonon and electron-electron scattering, the rate of the latter can be deduced from the Raman spectra

A Finite Size Scaling Study of Lattice Models in the three-dimensional Ising Universality Class

We simulate the spin-1/2 Ising model and the Blume-Capel model at various values of the parameter D on the simple cubic lattice. We perform a finite size scaling study of lattices of a linear size up to L=360 to obtain accurate estimates for critical exponents. We focus on values of D, where the amplitudes of leading corrections are small. Furthermore we employ improved observables that have a small amplitude of the leading correction. We obtain nu=0.63002(10), eta=0.03627(10) and omega=0.832(6). We compare our results with those obtained from previous Monte Carlo simulations and high temperature series expansions of lattice models, by using field theoretic methods and experiments.Comment: 25 pages, 6 figures, typos corrected, references added, conclusions extende

Case of Almost Redundant Components in 3 alpha Faddeev Equations

The 3 alpha orthogonality condition model using the Pauli-forbidden bound states of the Buck, Friedlich and Wheatly alpha alpha potential can yield a compact 3 alpha ground state with a large binding energy, in which a small admixture of the redundant components can never be eliminated.Comment: Revtex V4.0, 4 pages, no figure

Intersecting D-brane states derived from the KP theory

A general scheme to find tachyon boundary states is developed within the framework of the theory of KP hierarchy. The method is applied to calculate correlation function of intersecting D-branes and rederived the results of our previous works as special examples. A matrix generalization of this scheme provides a method to study dynamics of coincident multi D-branes.Comment: 10 page

Aharanov-Bohm effect for the edge states of zigzag carbon nanotubes

Two delocalized states of metallic zigzag carbon nanotubes near the Dirac point can be localized by the Aharanov-Bohm magnetic field around 20 Tesla. The dependence of the localization on the length and diameter of the nanotubes shows that the localization-delocalization transition can be observed for 2 nm diameter tube. The mechanism of the localization is explained in terms of the deformation-induced gauge field, which shows a topological nature of the localization. The transition from the delocalized states to the localized states can be observed by scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. A similarity between the transition and the spin Hall effect is discussed.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure

Global analysis of AAC for determining polarized parton distribution functions

We report global analysis results for polarized parton distribution functions in the nucleon. The optimum distributions are determined by using spin asymmetry data on polarized lepton scattering on proton, neutron, and deuteron. Their uncertainties are estimated by the Hessian method. As a result, polarized quark distributions are relatively well determined, whereas the polarized gluon distribution has a large uncertainty band. We find that the obtained gluon distribution is compatible with recent \Delta g/g measurements in high-p_T hadron productions.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figures, to be published in the proceedings of the XVIIth Particles and Nuclei International Conference (PANIC), Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, October 24-28, 200
