Revisit assignments of the new excited states with QCD sum rules
In this article, we distinguish the contributions of the positive parity and
negative parity states, study the masses and pole residues of the
1S, 1P, 2S and 2P states with the spin and
using the QCD sum rules in a consistent way, and revisit the
assignments of the new narrow excited states. The predictions
support assigning the to be the 1P state with

state with or the 2S state with

Possible Deuteron-like Molecular States Composed of Heavy Baryons
We perform a systematic study of the possible loosely bound states composed
of two charmed baryons or a charmed baryon and an anti-charmed baryon within
the framework of the one boson exchange (OBE) model. We consider not only the
exchange but also the , , , and
exchanges. The mixing effects for the spin-triplets are also taken into
account. With the derived effective potentials, we calculate the binding
energies and root-mean-square (RMS) radii for the systems
, ,
,
and
. Our numerical results indicate that: (1)
the H-dibaryon-like state does not exist; (2) there may
exist four loosely bound deuteron-like states and
with small binding energies and large RMS radii.Comment: 17 pages, 32 figure
Gate Tunable Dissipation and "Superconductor-Insulator" Transition in Carbon Nanotube Josephson Transistors
Dissipation is ubiquitous in quantum systems, and its interplay with
fluctuations is critical to maintaining quantum coherence. We experimentally
investigate the dissipation dynamics in single-walled carbon nanotubes coupled
to superconductors. The voltage-current characteristics display gate-tunable
hysteresis, with sizes that perfectly correlate with the normal state
resistance RN, indicating the junction undergoes a periodic modulation between
underdamped and overdamped regimes. Surprisingly, when a device's Fermi-level
is tuned through a local conductance minimum, we observe a gate-controlled
transition from superconducting-like to insulating-like states, with a
"critical" R_N value of about 8-20 kohm.Comment: Figures revised to improve clarity. Accepted for publication by

Anti-resorptive effects of cementocytes during orthodontic tooth movement
Purpose: To investigate the mechanism involved in the anti-resorptive effect of cementocytes during orthodontic tooth movement in mice and human specimens.Methods: The morphology, molecular structure and biological expression of cellular cementum in mice and human samples were examined using hematoxylin and eosin staining, immuno-histochemical staining, scanning electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The expressions of osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of nuclear κB ligand (RANKL) and sclerostin (SOST) encoding genes in cementocytes and alveolar bone osteocytes were evaluated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).Results: Results demonstrated that cementocyte lacunae were larger and more irregular in shape than the regular ellipsoid osteocyte lacunae. The ratio of phosphate to amino acid was significantly lower in cellular cementum than that in alveolar bone and dentin. In mice, OPG/RANKL ratio was significantly higher in cementocytes (4.8 ± 0.37) than in alveolar bone osteocytes (0.17 ± 0.42) in natural state. In humans, OPG/RANKL ratio was 1.41 ± 0.07 in cementocytes and 0.71 ± 0.04 in alveolar bone osteocytes under natural conditions, and 37.69 ± 0.15 in cementocytes and 1.95 ± 0.83 in alveolar bone osteocytes applying fluid flow shear stress. Moreover, SOST was extremely low expressed under force application in cementocytes.Conclusion: Under fluid flow sheer stress, cementocytes stimulate the differentiation of osteoblasts and inhibit the activation of osteoclasts, showing greater potential for bone protection than alveolar bone osteocytes. Cementocytes might play an important role in preventing root resorption in the process of orthodontic tooth movement.Keywords: Cementocytes, Bone protection, Microfluidic chip, Orthodontic tooth movemen
Spin susceptibility of Anderson impurities in arbitrary conduction bands
Spin susceptibility of Anderson impurities is a key quantity in understanding
the physics of Kondo screening. Traditional numerical renormalization group
(NRG) calculation of the impurity contribution to
susceptibility, defined originally by Wilson in a flat wide band, has been
generalized before to structured conduction bands. The results brought about
non-Fermi-liquid and diamagnetic Kondo behaviors in , even
when the bands are not gapped at the Fermi energy. Here, we use the full
density-matrix (FDM) NRG to present high-quality data for the local
susceptibility and to compare them with
obtained by the traditional NRG. Our results indicate
that those exotic behaviors observed in are unphysical.
Instead, the low-energy excitations of the impurity in arbitrary bands only
without gap at the Fermi energy are still a Fermi liquid and paramagnetic. We
also demonstrate that unlike the traditional NRG yielding
less accurate than , the FDM method allows a
high-precision dynamical calculation of at much reduced
computational cost, with an accuracy at least one order higher than
. Moreover, artifacts in the FDM algorithm to
, and origins of the spurious non-Fermi-liquid and
diamagnetic features are clarified. Our work provides an efficient
high-precision algorithm to calculate the spin susceptibility of impurity for
arbitrary structured bands, while negating the applicability of Wilson's
definition to such cases.Comment: the published versio
