Effect of the Zero-Mode on the Response of a Trapped Bose-Condensed Gas
The dynamical response of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is
formulated consistently with quantum field theory and is numerically evaluated.
We regard the BEC as a manifestation of the breaking of the global phase
symmetry. Then, the Goldstone theorem implies the existence of a zero energy
excitation mode (the zero-mode). We calculate the effect of the zero-mode on
the response frequency and show that the contribution of the zero-mode to the
first excitation mode is not so important in the parameter set realized in the
existing experiment. This is the reason that experimental results can be
described using the Bogoliubov prescription, although it breaks the consistency
of the description in quantum field theory.Comment: 18 pages, 3 figure
Self-adjoint Extensions of Schrödinger Operators with ?-magnetic Fields on Riemannian Manifolds
We consider the magnetic Schr¨odinger operator on a Riemannian manifold M. We assume the magnetic field is given by the sum of a regular field and the Dirac δ measures supported on a discrete set Γ in M. We give a complete characterization of the self-adjoint extensions of the minimal operator, in terms of the boundary conditions. The result is an extension of the former results by Dabrowski-Šťoviček and Exner-Šťoviček-Vytřas
Condition for the Existence of Complex Modes in a Trapped Bose--Einstein Condensate with a Highly Quantized Vortex
We consider a trapped Bose--Einstein condensate (BEC) with a highly quantized
vortex. For the BEC with a doubly, triply or quadruply quantized vortex, the
numerical calculations have shown that the Bogoliubov--de Gennes equations,
which describe the fluctuation of the condensate, have complex eigenvalues. In
this paper, we obtain the analytic expression of the condition for the
existence of complex modes, using the method developed by Rossignoli and
Kowalski [R. Rossignoli and A. M. Kowalski, Phys. Rev. A 72, 032101 (2005)] for
the small coupling constant. To derive it, we make the two-mode approximation.
With the derived analytic formula, we can identify the quantum number of the
complex modes for each winding number of the vortex. Our result is consistent
with those obtained by the numerical calculation in the case that the winding
number is two, three or four. We prove that the complex modes always exist when
the condensate has a highly quantized vortex
Evidence for a quantum-spin-Hall phase in graphene decorated with Bi_2Te_3 nanoparticles
Realization of the quantum spin Hall effect in graphene devices has remained an outstanding challenge dating back to the inception of the field of topological insulators. Graphene’s exceptionally weak spin-orbit coupling—stemming from carbon’s low mass—poses the primary obstacle. We experimentally and theoretically study artificially enhanced spin-orbit coupling in graphene via random decoration with dilute Bi_2Te_3 nanoparticles. Multiterminal resistance measurements suggest the presence of helical edge states characteristic of a quantum spin Hall phase; the magnetic field and temperature dependence of the resistance peaks, x-ray photoelectron spectra, scanning tunneling spectroscopy, and first-principles calculations further support this scenario. These observations highlight a pathway to spintronics and quantum information applications in graphene-based quantum spin Hall platforms
Evidence for a quantum-spin-Hall phase in graphene decorated with Bi2Te3 nanoparticles
Realization of the quantum-spin-Hall effect in graphene devices has remained
an outstanding challenge dating back to the inception of the field of
topological insulators. Graphene's exceptionally weak spin-orbit coupling
-stemming from carbon's low mass- poses the primary obstacle. We experimentally
and theoretically study artificially enhanced spin-orbit coupling in graphene
via random decoration with dilute Bi2Te3 nanoparticles. Remarkably,
multi-terminal resistance measurements suggest the presence of helical edge
states characteristic of a quantum-spin-Hall phase; the magnetic-field and
temperature dependence of the resistance peaks, X-ray photoelectron spectra,
scanning tunneling spectroscopy, and first-principles calculations further
support this scenario. These observations highlight a pathway to spintronics
and quantum-information applications in graphene-based quantum-spin-Hall

Fermi surface in BaNiP
We report measurements of the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) oscillation and a
band structure calculation for the pnictide superconductor BaNiP, which
is isostructural to BaFeAs, the mother compound of the iron-pnictide
high- superconductor (BaK)FeAs. Six dHvA-frequency
branches with frequencies up to 8 kT were observed, and they are in
excellent agreement with results of the band-structure calculation. The
determined Fermi surface is large, enclosing about one electron and hole per
formula unit, and three-dimensional. This is in contrast to the small
two-dimensional Fermi surface expected for the iron-pnictide high-
superconductors. The mass enhancement is about two.Comment: To appear in J. Phys. Soc. Jpn., Vol. 78, No.
