The effects of the nonextensivity on the dimerization process and nematic ordering
The influence of the dimerization process on the nematic ordering is
investigated by using a nonextensive thermostatistics, namely Tsallis
thermostatistics(TT). A theoretical model taking into account the dimerization
influence on the nematic scalar order parameter has been recently presented[1].
Our study considers this model and the theoretical predictions for the nematic
order parameter are improved by using TT
Maeda-Dadhich Solutions as Real Black Holes
A four-dimensional static Schwarzschild-like solution obtained in [3]-[6] in
the frames of the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity at the Kaluza-Klein split is
analyzed. The matter in these solutions is created by auxiliary dimensions. The
main goal of our work is to study physically sensible characteristics, which
could be observable. Study of the perturbed equations demonstrates their
stability under linear perturbations. The specific combinations of the
parameters, permitting to construct black hole-like objects with one or two
horizons or naked singularities are determined. Stable orbits of test particles
around these black holes are presented. We show the exotic thermodynamical
properties of the solution, when the Hawking evaporation law has the behavior
opposite to usual one in General Relativity
Semileptonic decays in Lattice QCD : a feasibility study and first results
We compute the decays and with finite
masses for the and quarks. We first discuss the spectral properties of
both the meson as a function of its momentum and of the and
at rest. We compute the theoretical formulae leading to the decay
amplitudes from the three-point and two-point correlators. We then compute the
amplitudes at zero recoil of which turns out not to be
vanishing contrary to what happens in the heavy quark limit. This opens a
possibility to get a better agreement with experiment. To improve the continuum
limit we have added a set of data with smaller lattice spacing. The vanishes at zero recoil and we show a convincing signal but only
slightly more than 1 sigma from 0. In order to reach quantitatively significant
results, we plan to fully exploit smaller lattice spacings as well as another
lattice regularization.Comment: 31 pages with 15 figures ; sections 5 and 6 revised and update
Transient currents in a molecular photo-diode
Light-induced charge transmission through a molecular junction (molecular
diode) is studied in the framework of a HOMO-LUMO model and in using a kinetic
description. Expressions are presented for the sequential (hopping) and direct
(tunneling) transient current components together with kinetic equations
governing the time-dependent populations of the neutral and charged molecular
states which participate in the current formation. Resonant and off-resonant
charge transmission processes are analyzed in detail. It is demonstrated that
the transient currents are associated with a molecular charging process which
is initiated by photo excitation of the molecule. If the coupling of the
molecule to the electrodes is strongly asymmetric the transient currents can
significantly exceed the steady state current.Comment: 17 pages, 12 figures, accepted for publication in Chemical Physic
