Formation of hydrogen peroxide and water from the reaction of cold hydrogen atoms with solid oxygen at 10K
The reactions of cold H atoms with solid O2 molecules were investigated at 10
K. The formation of H2O2 and H2O has been confirmed by in-situ infrared
spectroscopy. We found that the reaction proceeds very efficiently and obtained
the effective reaction rates. This is the first clear experimental evidence of
the formation of water molecules under conditions mimicking those found in cold
interstellar molecular clouds. Based on the experimental results, we discuss
the reaction mechanism and astrophysical implications.Comment: 12 pages, 3 Postscript figures, use package amsmath, amssymb,

Propagation of a hole on a Neel background
We analyze the motion of a single hole on a N\'eel background, neglecting
spin fluctuations. Brinkman and Rice studied this problem on a cubic lattice,
introducing the retraceable-path approximation for the hole Green's function,
exact in a one-dimensional lattice. Metzner et al. showed that the
approximationalso becomes exact in the infinite-dimensional limit. We introduce
a new approach to this problem by resumming the Nagaoka expansion of the
propagator in terms of non-retraceable skeleton-paths dressed by
retraceable-path insertions. This resummation opens the way to an almost
quantitative solution of the problemin all dimensions and, in particular sheds
new light on the question of the position of the band-edges. We studied the
motion of the hole on a double chain and a square lattice, for which deviations
from the retraceable-path approximation are expected to be most pronounced. The
density of states is mostly adequately accounted for by the
retra\-ce\-able-path approximation. Our band-edge determination points towards
an absence of band tails extending to the Nagaoka energy in the spectrums of
the double chain and the square lattice. We also evaluated the spectral density
and the self-energy, exhibiting k-dependence due to finite dimensionality. We
find good agreement with recent numerical results obtained by Sorella et al.
with the Lanczos spectra decoding method. The method we employ enables us to
identify the hole paths which are responsible for the various features present
in the density of states and the spectral density.Comment: 26 pages,Revte

Decay of Superconducting and Magnetic Correlations in One- and Two-Dimensional Hubbard Models
In a general class of one and two dimensional Hubbard models, we prove upper
bounds for the two-point correlation functions at finite temperatures for
electrons, for electron pairs, and for spins. The upper bounds decay
exponentially in one dimension, and with power laws in two dimensions. The
bounds rule out the possibility of the corresponding condensation of
superconducting electron pairs, and of the corresponding magnetic ordering. Our
method is general enough to cover other models such as the t-J model.Comment: LaTeX, 8 pages, no figures. A reference appeared after the

Mott-Hubbard insulators for systems with orbital degeneracy
We study how the electron hopping reduces the Mott-Hubbard band gap in the
limit of a large Coulomb interaction U and as a function of the orbital
degeneracy N. The results support the conclusion that the hopping contribution
grows as roughly \sqrt{N}W, where W is the one-particle band width, but in
certain models a crossover to a \sim NW behavior is found for a sufficiently
large N.Comment: 7 pages, revtex, 6 figures more information at

Two quantum analogues of Fisher information from a large deviation viewpoint of quantum estimation
We discuss two quantum analogues of Fisher information, symmetric logarithmic
derivative (SLD) Fisher information and Kubo-Mori-Bogoljubov (KMB) Fisher
information from a large deviation viewpoint of quantum estimation and prove
that the former gives the true bound and the latter gives the bound of
consistent superefficient estimators. In another comparison, it is shown that
the difference between them is characterized by the change of the order of
limits.Comment: LaTeX with iopart.cls, iopart12.clo, iopams.st
Pseudospin SU(2) Symmetry Breaking, Charge Density Wave and Superconductivity in the Hubbard Model
In this paper, we discuss physical consequences of pseudospin SU(2) symmetry
breaking in the negative-U Hubbard model at half-filling. If pseudospin
symmetry is spontaneously broken while its unique subgroup U(1) remains
invariant, it will lead to the charge density wave (CDW) ground state.
Furthermore, if the U(1) symmetry is also broken, the ground state will have
the off-diagonal long range order (ODLRO), signaling a superconductor. In this
case, CDW and superconductivity coexist to form a supersolid. Finally, we show
that CDW suppresses, but does not destroy superconductivity.Comment: 7 page
Gauge Invariance and Hall Terms in the Quasiclassical Equations of Superconductivity
This paper presents a careful derivation of the quasiclassical equations of
superconductivity so that a manifest gauge invariance is retained with respect
to the space-time arguments of the quasiclassical Green's function .
The terms responsible for the Hall effect naturally appear from the derivation.
The equations are applicable to clean as well as dirty superconductors for an
arbitrary external frequency much smaller than the Fermi energy. Thus, they
will form a basis toward a complete microscopic understanding of the Hall
effect in type-II superconductors.Comment: 9 pages, 1 figur
Ferromagnetism in the two dimensional t-t' Hubbard model at the Van Hove density
Using an improved version of the projection quantum Monte Carlo technique, we
study the square-lattice Hubbard model with nearest-neighbor hopping t and
next-nearest-neighbor hopping t', by simulation of lattices with up to 20 X 20
sites. For a given R=2t'/t, we consider that filling which leads to a singular
density of states of the noninteracting problem. For repulsive interactions, we
find an itinerant ferromagnet (antiferromagnet) for R=0.94 (R=0.2). This is
consistent with the prediction of the T-matrix approximation, which sums the
most singular set of diagrams.Comment: 10 pages, RevTeX 3.0 + a single postscript file with all figure
