Orbital Magnetism and Transport Phenomena in Two Dimensional Dirac Fermions in Weak Magnetic Field

We discuss the orbital magnetism and the Hall effect in the weak magnetic field in two dimensional Dirac fermion systems with energy gap. This model is related to the graphene sheet, organic conductors, and $d$-density wave superconductors. We found the strong diamagnetism and finite Hall conductivity even in gapped systems. We also discuss the relation between the weak-magnetic field formalism and the Landau quantization with the Euler-Maclaurin expansion.Comment: 4pages,3figure

QCD color interactions between two quarks

We study the QCD color interactions between static two heavy quarks at zero temperature in a quenched SU(3) lattice gauge simulation: in addition to the standard singlet $q\bar{q}$ potentials, we calculate octet $q\bar{q}$ potentials, symmetric and antisymmetric $qq$ potentials. It is shown that the antisymmetric $qq$ channel behaves as a linearly rising potential at large quark separations. We further find that the $q\bar{q}$ octet and $qq$ symmetric channels have the complex dependence on the distance; at short distances they are repulsive forces, while at large distances, they show linearly rising feature. Ratio of string tensions between $q\bar{q}$ singlet and $qq$ antisymmetric potentials is described in terms of the Casimir factor

Monte Carlo Study of Two-Color QCD with Finite Chemical Potential - Status report of Wilson fermion simulation

Using Wilson fermions, we study SU(2) lattice QCD with the chemical potential at $\beta=1.6$. The ratio of fermion determinants is evaluated at each Metropolis link update step. We calculate the baryon number density, the Polyakov loops and the pseudoscalar and vector masses on $4^4$ and $4^3\times 8$ lattices. Preliminary data show the pseudoscalar meson becomes massive around $\mu=0.4$, which indicates the chiral symmetry restoration. The calculation is broken down when approaching to the transition region. We analyze the behavior of the fermion determinant and eigen value distributions of the determinant, which shows a peculiar ``Shell-and-Bean'' pattern near the transition.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, Lattice 2000 (Finite Density

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Collisions between Hydrogen and Graphite

Hydrogen adsorption by graphite is examined by classical molecular dynamics simulation using a modified Brenner REBO potential. Such interactions are typical in chemical sputtering experiments, and knowledge of the fundamental behavior of hydrogen and graphene in collisional conditions is essential for modeling the sputtering mechanism. The hydrogen adsorption rate is found to be dependent on the incident hydrogen energy and not on graphene temperature. Rather than destroying the graphene, hydrogen incidence at energies of less than 100 eV can be classified into three regimes of adsorption, reflection and penetration through one or more graphene layers. Incidence at the lowest energies is shown to distort the graphene structure.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures. Accepted for publication by j. Plasma Phys.

Transport Coefficients of Quark Gluon Plasma From Lattice Gauge Theory

Numerical results for the transport coefficients of quark gluon plasma are obtained by lattice simulations on on $16^3 \times 8$ lattice with the quench approximation where we apply the gauge action proposed by Iwasaki. The bulk viscosity is consistent with zero, and the shear viscosity is slightly smaller than the typical hadron masses. They are not far from the simple extrapolation on the figure of perturbative calculation in high temperature limit down to $T \sim T_{c}$. The gluon propagator in the confined and deconfined phases are also discussed.Comment: Quark Matter 97(talk at parallel session QCD) 4 pages in latex, 4 Postscript figure

Toda Lattice and Tomimatsu-Sato Solutions

We discuss an analytic proof of a conjecture (Nakamura) that solutions of Toda molecule equation give those of Ernst equation giving Tomimatsu-Sato solutions of Einstein equation. Using Pfaffian identities it is shown for Weyl solutions completely and for generic cases partially.Comment: LaTeX 8 page

Gluon Propagators and Confinement

We present SU(3) gluon propagators calculated on 48*48*48*N_t lattices at beta=6.8 where N_t=64 (corresponding the confinement phase) and N_t=16 (deconfinement) with the bare gauge parameter,alpha, set to be 0.1. In order to avoid Gribov copies, we employ the stochastic gauge fixing algorithm. Gluon propagators show quite different behavior from those of massless gauge fields: (1) In the confinement phase, G(t) shows massless behavior at small and large t, while around 5<t<15 it behaves as massive particle, and (2) effective mass observed in G(z) becomes larger as z increases. (3) In the deconfinement phase, G(z) shows also massive behavior but effective mass is less than in the confinement case. In all cases, slope masses are increasing functions of t or z, which can not be understood as addtional physical poles.Comment: 6 pages in Postscrip
