Parity-violating asymmetry in with a pionless effective theory
Nuclear parity violation is studied with polarized neutrons in the
photodisintegration of the deuteron at low energies. A pionless effective field
theory with di-baryon fields is used for the investigation. Hadronic weak
interactions are treated by parity-violating di-baryon-nucleon-nucleon
vertices, which have undetermined coupling contants. A parity-violating
asymmetry in the process is calculated for the incident photon energy up to 30
MeV. If experimental data for the parity-violating asymmetry become available
in the future, we will be able to determine the unknown coupling contants in
the parity-violating vertices.Comment: 4 pages. A contribution to APFB2011, August 22-26, 2011, Seoul, Kore
On the effect of far impurities on the density of states of two-dimensional electron gas in a strong magnetic field
The effect of impurities situated at different distances from a
two-dimensional electron gas on the density of states in a strong magnetic
field is analyzed. Based on the exact result of Brezin, Gross, and Itzykson, we
calculate the density of states in the whole energy range, assuming the Poisson
distribution of impurities in the bulk. It is shown that in the case of small
impurity concentration the density of states is qualitatively different from
the model case when all impurities are located in the plane of the
two-dimensional electron gas.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure, submitted to JETP Letter
An Infrared study of the Josephson vortex state in high-Tc cuprates
We report the results of the c-axis infrared spectroscopy of La_{2-x} Sr_x
CuO_4 in high magnetic field oriented parallel to the CuO_2 planes. A
significant suppression of the superfluid density with magnetic field rho_s(H)
is observed for both underdoped (x=0.125) and overdoped (x=0.17) samples. We
show that the existing theoretical models of the Josephson vortex state fail to
consistently describe the observed effects and discuss possible reasons for the
discrepancies
Raman Scattering Spectra of Elementary Electronic Excitations in Coupled Double-Quantum Well Structures
Using the time-dependent-local-density-approximation (TDLDA) within a
self-consistent linear response theory, we calculate the elementary excitation
energies and the associated inelastic light-scattering spectra of a strongly
coupled two-component plasma in a double-quantum well system with electron
occupation of symmetric and antisymmetric subbands. We find, consistent with
the results of a recent experimental Raman scattering study, that the
intersubband spin density excitations tend to merge with the single particle
excitations (i.e. the excitonic shift decreases monotonically) as the Fermi
energy increases beyond the symmetric-antisymmetric energy gap
. However, our TDLDA calculation does not show the abrupt
suppresion of the excitonic shift seen experimentally at a finite value of the
subband occupancy parameter .Comment: 9 pages, RevTeX, 5 figures available upon request, PIT-SDS-00
Metal-to-insulator crossover and pseudogap in single-layer compound BiSrCuO single crystals in high magnetic fields
The in-plane and the out-of-plane
magneto-transport in magnetic fields up to 28 T has been investigated in a
series of high quality, single crystal, hole-doped La-free Bi2201 cuprates for
a wide doping range and over a wide range of temperatures down to 40 mK. With
decreasing hole concentration going from the overdoped (p=0.2) to the
underdoped (p=0.12) regimes, a crossover from a metallic to and insulating
behavior of is observed in the low temperature normal state,
resulting in a disorder induced metal insulator transition. In the zero
temperature limit, the normal state ratio of the
heavily underdoped samples in pure Bi2201 shows an anisotropic 3D behavior, in
striking contrast with that observed in La-doped Bi2201 and LSCO systems. Our
data strongly support that that the negative out-of-plane magnetoresistance is
largely governed by interlayer conduction of quasiparticles in the
superconducting state, accompanied by a small contribution of normal state
transport associated with the field dependent pseudogap. Both in the optimal
and overdoped regimes, the semiconducting behavior of persists even
for magnetic fields above the pseudogap closing field . The method
suggested by Shibauchi \textit{et al.} (Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{86}, 5763,
(2001)) for evaluating is unsuccessful for both under- and overdoped
Bi2201 samples. Our findings suggest that the normal state pseudogap is not
always a precursor of superconductivity.Comment: 11 pages, 8 figures, published in PRB Nov 200
Electron conductivity and second generation Composite Fermions
The relation between the conductivity tensors of Composite Fermions and
electrons is extended to second generation Composite Fermions. It is shown that
it crucially depends on the coupling matrix for the Chern-Simons gauge field.
The results are applied to a model of interacting Composite Fermions that can
explain both the anomalous plateaus in spin polarization and the corresponding
maxima in the resistivity observed in recent transport experiments
Microwave induced magnetoresistance oscillations at the subharmonics of the cyclotron resonance
The magnetoresistance oscillations, which occur in a two-dimensional electron
system exposed to strong microwave radiation when the microwave frequency
coincides with the n-th subharmonic of the cyclotron frequency
have been investigated for n = 2, 3 and 4. It is shown that these
subharmonic features can be explained within a non-equilibrium energy
distribution function picture without invoking multi-photon absorption
processes. The existence of a frequency threshold above which such oscillations
disappear lends further support to this explanation.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
Two-dimensional electron liquid with disorder in a weak magnetic field
We present the effective theory for low energy dynamics of a two-dimensional
interacting electrons in the presence of a weak short-range disorder and a weak
perpendicular magnetic field, the filling factor . We investigate
the exchange enhancement of the -factor, the effective mass and the decay
rate of the simplest spin wave excitations at . We obtain the
enhancement of the field-induced gap in the tunneling density of states and
dependence of the tunneling conductivity on the applied bias.Comment: 17 pages, no figure
Radiation-Induced Magnetoresistance Oscillations in a 2D Electron Gas
Recent measurements of a 2D electron gas subjected to microwave radiation
reveal a magnetoresistance with an oscillatory dependence on the ratio of
radiation frequency to cyclotron frequency. We perform a diagrammatic
calculation and find radiation-induced resistivity oscillations with the
correct period and phase. Results are explained via a simple picture of current
induced by photo-excited disorder-scattered electrons. The oscillations
increase with radiation intensity, easily exceeding the dark resistivity and
resulting in negative-resistivity minima. At high intensity, we identify
additional features, likely due to multi-photon processes, which have yet to be
observed experimentally.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures; final version as published in Phys Rev Let
