Universal low-temperature properties of quantum and classical ferromagnetic chains
We identify the critical theory controlling the universal, low temperature,
macroscopic properties of both quantum and classical ferromagnetic chains. The
theory is the quantum mechanics of a single rotor. The mapping leads to an
efficient method for computing scaling functions to high accuracy.Comment: 4 pages, 2 tables and 3 Postscript figure
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.

Energy diffusion in frustrated quantum spin chains exhibiting Gaussian orthogonal ensemble level statistics
Frustrated quantum spin chains with the next-nearest-neighbor (NNN)
couplings are typically deterministic many-body systems exhibiting Gaussian
orthogonal ensemble (GOE) spectral statistics. We investigate energy diffusion
for these spin chains in the presence of a periodically oscillating magnetic
field. Diffusion coefficients are found to obey the power law with respect to
both the field strength and driving frequency with its power varying depending
on the linear response and non-perturbative regimes. The widths of the linear
response and the non-perturbative regimes depend on the strength of
frustrations. We have also elucidated a mechanism for oscillation of energy
diffusion in the case of weakened frustrations.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure

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
