Power corrections in models with extra dimensions
We critically revisit the issue of power-law running in models with extra
dimensions. The general conclusion is that, in the absence of any additional
physical principle, the power-corrections tend to depend strongly on the
details of the underlying theory.Comment: Talk given at EPS2003 - Aachen, Germany, July 2003, 3 pages, 1 figur
Thermo-kinetic approach of single-particles and clusters involving anomalous diffusion under viscoelastic response
We present a thermo-kinetic description of anomalous diffusion of
single-particles and clusters in a viscoelastic medium in terms of a
non-Markovian diffusion equation involving memory functions. The scaling
behaviour of these functions is analyzed by considering hydrodynamics and
cluster-size space random walk arguments. We explain experimental results on
diffusion of Brownian particles in the cytoskeleton, in cluster-cluster
aggregation and in a suspension of micelles.Comment: To be published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry
Can new generations explain neutrino masses?
In this talk we explore the possibility that the smallness of the observed
neutrino masses is naturally understood in a modified version of the standard
model with N extra generations of fermions and N right-handed neutrinos, in
which light neutrino masses are generated at two loops. We find that with N = 1
it is not possible to fit the observed spectrum of masses and mixings while
with N = 2 it is. Within this extension, we analyse the parameters which are
allowed and the possible phenomenological signals of the model in future
experiments. Contribution to the proceedings of Les Rencontres de Moriond EW

Stray field and superconducting surface spin valve effect in LaCaMnO/YBaCuO bilayers
Electronic transport and magnetization measurements were performed on
LaCaMnO/YBaCuO (LCMO/YBCO) bilayers
below the superconducting transition temperature in order to study the
interaction between magnetism and superconductivity. This study shows that a
substantial number of weakly pinned vortices are induced in the YBCO layer by
the large out-of-plane stray field in the domain walls. Their motion gives rise
to large dissipation peaks at the coercive field. The angular dependent
magnetoresistance (MR) data reveal the interaction between the stripe domain
structure present in the LCMO layer and the vortices and anti-vortices induced
in the YBCO layer by the out-of-plane stray field. In addition, this study
shows that a superconducting surface spin valve effect is present in these
bilayers as a result of the relative orientation between the magnetization at
the LCMO/YBCO interface and the magnetization in the interior of the LCMO layer
that can be tuned by the rotation of a small . This latter finding will
facilitate the development of superconductive magnetoresistive memory devices.
These low-magnetic field MR data, furthermore, suggest that triplet
superconductivity is induced in the LCMO layer, which is consistent with recent
reports of triplet superconductivity in LCMO/YBCO/LCMO trilayers and LCMO/YBCO
bilayers.Comment: 14 pages, 3 figure
