Gluon GPDs and Exclusive Photoproduction of a Quarkonium in Forward Region
Forward photoproduction of can be used to extract Generalized Parton
Distributions(GPD's) of gluons. We analyze the process at twist-3 level and
study relevant classifications of twist-3 gluon GPD's. At leading power or
twist-2 level the produced is transversely polarized. We find that at
twist-3 the produced is longitudinally polarized. Our study shows that
in high energy limit the twist-3 amplitude is only suppressed by the inverse
power of the heavy quark mass relatively to the twist-2 amplitude. This
indicates that the power correction to the cross-section of unpolarized
can have a sizeable effect. We have also derived the amplitude of the
production of at twist-3, but the result contains end-point
singularities. The production of other quarkonia has been briefly discussed.Comment: Discussions of results are adde
Evidence for electron-phonon interaction in FeMSb (M=Co, Cr) single crystals
We have measured polarized Raman scattering spectra of the
FeCoSb and FeCrSb (00.5)
single crystals in the temperature range between 15 K and 300 K. The highest
energy symmetry mode shows significant line asymmetry due to phonon
mode coupling width electronic background. The coupling constant achieves the
highest value at about 40 K and after that it remains temperature independent.
Origin of additional mode broadening is pure anharmonic. Below 40 K the
coupling is drastically reduced, in agreement with transport properties
measurements. Alloying of FeSb with Co and Cr produces the B mode
narrowing, i.e. weakening of the electron-phonon interaction. In the case of
A symmetry modes we have found a significant mode mixing
New Approach on the General Shape Equation of Axisymmetric Vesicles
The general Helfrich shape equation determined by minimizing the curvature
free energy describes the equilibrium shapes of the axisymmetric lipid bilayer
vesicles in different conditions. It is a non-linear differential equation with
variable coefficients. In this letter, by analyzing the unique property of the
solution, we change this shape equation into a system of the two differential
equations. One of them is a linear differential equation. This equation system
contains all of the known rigorous solutions of the general shape equation. And
the more general constraint conditions are found for the solution of the
general shape equation.Comment: 8 pages, LaTex, submit to Mod. Phys. Lett.
Direct observation of electron doping in La0.7Ce0.3MnO3 using x-ray absorption spectroscopy
We report on a X-ray absorption spectroscopic (XAS) study on a thin film of
La0.7Ce0.3MnO3, a manganite which was previously only speculated to be an
electron doped system. The measurements clearly show that the cerium is in the
Ce(IV) valence state and that the manganese is present in a mixture of Mn2+ and
Mn3+ valence states. These data unambiguously demonstrate that La0.7Ce0.3MnO3
is an electron doped colossal magnetoresistive manganite, a finding that may
open up new opportunities both for device applications as well as for further
basic research towards a better modelling of the colossal magnetoresistance
phenomenon in these materials.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, revised versio
Numerical simulation of floating bodies in extreme free surface waves
In this paper, we use the in-house Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) flow code AMAZON-SC as a numerical wave tank (NWT) to study wave loading on a wave energy converter (WEC) device in heave motion. This is a surface-capturing method for two fluid flows that treats the free surface as contact surface in the density field that is captured automatically without special provision. A time-accurate artificial compressibility method and high resolution Godunov-type scheme are employed in both fluid regions (air/water). The Cartesian cut cell method can provide a boundary-fitted mesh for a complex geometry with no requirement to re-mesh globally or even locally for moving geometry, requiring only changes to cut cell data at the body contour. Extreme wave boundary conditions are prescribed in an empty NWT and compared with physical experiments prior to calculations of extreme waves acting on a floating Bobber-type device. The validation work also includes the wave force on a fixed cylinder compared with theoretical and experimental data under regular waves. Results include free surface elevations, vertical displacement of the float, induced vertical velocity and heave force for a typical Bobber geometry with a hemispherical base under extreme wave conditions
Evidence for the band broadening across the ferromagnetic transition in CrNbSe
The electronic structure of CrNbSe is studied via optical
spectroscopy. We observe two low-energy interband transitions in the
paramagnetic phase, which split into four peaks as the compound enters the
ferromagnetic state. The band structure calculation indicates the four peaks
are interband transitions to the spin up Cr e states. We show that the peak
splitting below the Curie temperature is \emph{not} due to the exchange
splitting of spin up and down bands, but directly reflects a band broadening
effect in Cr-derived states upon the spontaneous ferromagnetic ordering.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, to be published in Phys. Rev.
Hamiltonicity of 3-arc graphs
An arc of a graph is an oriented edge and a 3-arc is a 4-tuple of
vertices such that both and are paths of length two. The
3-arc graph of a graph is defined to have vertices the arcs of such
that two arcs are adjacent if and only if is a 3-arc of
. In this paper we prove that any connected 3-arc graph is Hamiltonian, and
all iterative 3-arc graphs of any connected graph of minimum degree at least
three are Hamiltonian. As a consequence we obtain that if a vertex-transitive
graph is isomorphic to the 3-arc graph of a connected arc-transitive graph of
degree at least three, then it is Hamiltonian. This confirms the well known
conjecture, that all vertex-transitive graphs with finitely many exceptions are
Hamiltonian, for a large family of vertex-transitive graphs. We also prove that
if a graph with at least four vertices is Hamilton-connected, then so are its
iterative 3-arc graphs.Comment: in press Graphs and Combinatorics, 201
Critical exponents of the two-layer Ising model
The symmetric two-layer Ising model (TLIM) is studied by the corner transfer
matrix renormalisation group method. The critical points and critical exponents
are calculated. It is found that the TLIM belongs to the same universality
class as the Ising model. The shift exponent is calculated to be 1.773, which
is consistent with the theoretical prediction 1.75 with 1.3% deviation.Comment: 7 pages, with 10 figures include
