Photoemission study of the spin-density wave state in thin films of Cr
Angle-resolved photoemission (PE) was used to characterize the spin-density
wave (SDW) state in thin films of Cr grown on W(110). The PE data were analysed
using results of local spin density approximation layer-Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker
calculations. It is shown that the incommensurate SDW can be monitored and
important parameters of SDW-related interactions, such as coupling strength and
energy of collective magnetic excitations, can be determined from the
dispersion of the renormalized electronic bands close to the Fermi energy. The
developed approach can readily be applied to other SDW systems including
magnetic multilayer structures.Comment: 4 figure
Translational cooling and storage of protonated proteins in an ion trap at subkelvin temperatures
Gas-phase multiply charged proteins have been sympathetically cooled to
translational temperatures below 1 K by Coulomb interaction with laser-cooled
barium ions in a linear ion trap. In one case, an ensemble of 53 cytochrome c
molecules (mass ~ 12390 amu, charge +17 e) was cooled by ~ 160 laser-cooled
barium ions to less than 0.75 K. Storage times of more than 20 minutes have
been observed and could easily be extended to more than an hour. The technique
is applicable to a wide variety of complex molecules.Comment: same version as published in Phys. Rev.
Precision Spectroscopy of Molecular Hydrogen Ions: Towards Frequency Metrology of Particle Masses
We describe the current status of high-precision ab initio calculations of
the spectra of molecular hydrogen ions (H_2^+ and HD^+) and of two experiments
for vibrational spectroscopy. The perspectives for a comparison between theory
and experiment at a level of 1 ppb are considered.Comment: 26 pages, 13 figures, 1 table, to appear in "Precision Physics of

The temperature dependent bandstructure of a ferromagnetic semiconductor film
The electronic quasiparticle spectrum of a ferromagnetic film is investigated
within the framework of the s-f model. Starting from the exact solvable case of
a single electron in an otherwise empty conduction band being exchange coupled
to a ferromagnetically saturated localized spin system we extend the theory to
finite temperatures. Our approach is a moment-conserving decoupling procedure
for suitable defined Green functions. The theory for finite temperatures
evolves continuously from the exact limiting case. The restriction to zero
conduction band occupation may be regarded as a proper model description for
ferromagnetic semiconductors like EuO and EuS. Evaluating the theory for a
simple cubic film cut parallel to the (100) crystal plane, we find some marked
correlation effects which depend on the spin of the test electron, on the
exchange coupling, and on the temperature of the local-moment system.Comment: 11 pages, 9 figure
Improvement for Quenched Wilson Fermions
We briefly describe some of our recent results for the mass spectrum and
matrix elements using improved fermions for quenched QCD. Where possible
a comparison is made between improved and Wilson fermions.Comment: 6 pages, Latex, 11 figures, epsf.sty and buckow1.sty needed

Statistical Mechanics of the Fluctuating Lattice Boltzmann Equation
We propose a new formulation of the fluctuating lattice Boltzmann equation
that is consistent with both equilibrium statististical mechanics and
fluctuating hydrodynamics. The formalism is based on a generalized lattice-gas
model, with each velocity direction occupied by many particles. We show that
the most probable state of this model corresponds to the usual equilibrium
distribution of the lattice Boltzmann equation. Thermal fluctuations about this
equilibrium are controlled by the mean number of particles at a lattice site.
Stochastic collision rules are described by a Monte Carlo process satisfying
detailed balance. This allows for a straightforward derivation of discrete
Langevin equations for the fluctuating modes. It is shown that all
non-conserved modes should be thermalized, as first pointed out by Adhikari et
al.; any other choice violates the condition of detailed balance. A
Chapman-Enskog analysis is used to derive the equations of fluctuating
hydrodynamics on large length and time scales; the level of fluctuations is
shown to be thermodynamically consistent with the equation of state of an
isothermal, ideal gas. We believe this formalism will be useful in developing
new algorithms for thermal and multiphase flows.Comment: Submitted to Physical Review E-11 pages Corrected Author(s) field on
