Klein tunneling through an oblique barrier in graphene ribbons
We study a transmission coefficient of graphene nanoribbons with a top gate
which acts as an oblique barrier. Using a Green function method based on the
Dirac-like equation, scattering among transverse modes due to the oblique
barrier is taken into account numerically. In contrast to the 2-dimensional
graphene sheet, we find that the pattern of transmission in graphene ribbons
depends strongly on the electronic structure in the region of the barrier.
Consequently, irregular structures in the transmission coefficient are
predicted while perfect transmission is still calculated in the case of
metallic graphene independently of angle and length of the oblique barrier
M Theory Fivebrane Interpretation for Strong Coupling Dynamics of SO(N_c) Gauge Theories
We study M theory fivebranes to understand the moduli space of vacua of N=1
supersymmetric SO(N_c) gauge theory with N_f flavors in four dimensions. We
discuss how the various branches of this theory arise in the string/M theory
brane configurations and compare our results with the ones obtained earlier by
Intriligator and Seiberg in the context of field theory.
In the M theory approach, we explain the various branches from the asymptotic
position of semi-infinite D4 branes in the direction, which is
closely related to the eigenvalues of the meson matrix where is a squark multiplet ( and ).In M theory, these branches are explained by observing a new
phenomena which did not occur for the gauge groups SU(N_c) or Sp(N_c).Comment: 15 pages, Latex, English corrected, Version to Appear in Physics

Branes, Geometry and N=1 Duality with Product Gauge Groups of SO and Sp
We study N=1 dualities in four dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories as
the worldvolume theory of D4 branes with one compact direction in type IIA
string theory. We generalize the previous work for SO(N_{c1}) x Sp(N_{c2}) with
the superpotential W=Tr X^4 to the case of W= Tr X^4(k+1) in terms of brane
configuration. We conjecture that the new dualities for the product gauge
groups of SO(N_{c1}) x Sp(N_{c2}) x SO(N_{c3}), SO(N_{c1}) x Sp(N_{c2}) x
SO(N_{c3}) x Sp(N_{c4}) and higher multiple product gauge groups can be
obtained by reversing the ordering of NS5 branes and D6 branes while preserving
the linking numbers. We also describe the above dualities in terms of wrapping
D6 branes around 3 cycles of Calabi-Yau threefolds in type IIA string theory.
The theory with adjoint matter can be regarded as taking multiple copies of NS5
brane in the configuration of brane or geometric approaches.Comment: 26 pages, latex, 6 figures, 4 tables, 1 appendix, v2: changed the
