Spin-Polarization Response Functions in High-Energy (e,e'p) Reactions
Spin-polarization response functions are examined for high-energy
reaction by computing the full 18 response functions for
the proton kinetic energy 0.515 GeV and 3.179 GeV with an 16O target.
The Dirac eikonal formalism is applied to account for the final-state
interactions. The formalism is found to yield the response functions in good
agreement with those calculated by the partial-wave expansion method at 0.515
GeV. We identify the response functions that depend on the spin-orbital
potential in the final-state interactions, but not on the central potential.
Dependence on the Dirac- or Pauli-type current of the nucleon is investigated
in the helicity-dependent response functions, and the normal-component
polarization of the knocked-out proton, , is computed.Comment: 22 pages, Latex, figures available at

Self-energy and Fermi surface of the 2-dimensional Hubbard model
We present an exact diagonalization study of the self-energy of the
two-dimensional Hubbard model. To increase the range of available cluster sizes
we use a corrected t-J model to compute approximate Greens functions for the
Hubbard model. This allows to obtain spectra for clusters with 18 and 20 sites.
The self-energy has several `bands' of poles with strong dispersion and
extended incoherent continua with k-dependent intensity. We fit the self-energy
by a minimal model and use this to extrapolate the cluster results to the
infinite lattice. The resulting Fermi surface shows a transition from hole
pockets in the underdoped regime to a large Fermi surface in the overdoped
regime. We demonstrate that hole pockets can be completely consistent with the
Luttinger theorem. Introduction of next-nearest neighbor hopping changes the
self-energy stronlgy and the spectral function with nonvanishing
next-nearest-neighbor hopping in the underdoped region is in good agreement
with angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy.Comment: 17 pages, 18 figure
Nuclear Matter on a Lattice
We investigate nuclear matter on a cubic lattice. An exact thermal formalism
is applied to nucleons with a Hamiltonian that accommodates on-site and
next-neighbor parts of the central, spin- and isospin-exchange interactions. We
describe the nuclear matter Monte Carlo methods which contain elements from
shell model Monte Carlo methods and from numerical simulations of the Hubbard
model. We show that energy and basic saturation properties of nuclear matter
can be reproduced. Evidence of a first-order phase transition from an
uncorrelated Fermi gas to a clustered system is observed by computing
mechanical and thermodynamical quantities such as compressibility, heat
capacity, entropy and grand potential. We compare symmetry energy and first
sound velocities with literature and find reasonable agreement.Comment: 23 pages, 8 figures (some in color), to be submitted to Phys. Rev.
Spin-Hall and Anisotropic Magnetoresistance in Ferrimagnetic Co-Gd / Pt layers
We present the Co-Gd composition dependence of the spin-Hall
magnetoresistance (SMR) and anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) for
ferrimagnetic Co100-xGdx / Pt bilayers. With Gd concentration x, its magnetic
moment increasingly competes with the Co moment in the net magnetization. We
find a nearly compensated ferrimagnetic state at x = 24. The AMR changes sign
from positive to negative with increasing x, vanishing near the magnetization
compensation. On the other hand, the SMR does not vary significantly even where
the AMR vanishes. These experimental results indicate that very different
scattering mechanisms are responsible for AMR and SMR. We discuss a possible
origin for the alloy composition dependence.Comment: 31 Pages, 9 figure
On the determination of the pion effective mass in nuclei from pionic atoms
The binding energies of the deeply bound 1s and 2p states in pionic atoms of
Pb, recently established experimentally in the Pb(d,He)
reaction, have been used by several groups to derive the pion effective mass in
nuclear matter. We show that these binding energies are fully consistent with
`normal' pionic atoms and that the real part of the pion-nucleus potential at
the center of Pb is 283 MeV and not 20 MeV as suggested
previously.Comment: 8 pages, Revtex, 2 figures, accepted by Physics Letters
Effects of an embedding bulk fluid on phase separation dynamics in a thin liquid film
Using dissipative particle dynamics simulations, we study the effects of an
embedding bulk fluid on the phase separation dynamics in a thin planar liquid
film. The domain growth exponent is altered from 2D to 3D behavior upon the
addition of a bulk fluid, even though the phase separation occurs in 2D
geometry. Correlated diffusion measurements in the film show that the presence
of bulk fluid changes the nature of the longitudinal coupling diffusion
coefficient from logarithmic to algebraic dependence of 1/s, where s is the
distance between the two particles. This result, along with the scaling
exponents, suggests that the phase separation takes place through the Brownian
coagulation process.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures. Accepted for publication in Europhys. Let
Hydrodynamic interactions of spherical particles in Poiseuille flow between two parallel walls
We study hydrodynamic interactions of spherical particles in incident
Poiseuille flow in a channel with infinite planar walls. The particles are
suspended in a Newtonian fluid, and creeping-flow conditions are assumed.
Numerical results, obtained using our highly accurate Cartesian-representation
algorithm [Physica A xxx, {\bf xx}, 2005], are presented for a single sphere,
two spheres, and arrays of many spheres. We consider the motion of freely
suspended particles as well as the forces and torques acting on particles
adsorbed at a wall. We find that the pair hydrodynamic interactions in this
wall-bounded system have a complex dependence on the lateral interparticle
distance due to the combined effects of the dissipation in the gap between the
particle surfaces and the backflow associated with the presence of the walls.
For immobile particle pairs we have examined the crossover between several
far-field asymptotic regimes corresponding to different relations between the
particle separation and the distances of the particles from the walls. We have
also shown that the cumulative effect of the far-field flow substantially
influences the force distribution in arrays of immobile spheres. Therefore, the
far-field contributions must be included in any reliable algorithm for
evaluating many-particle hydrodynamic interactions in the parallel-wall
geometry.Comment: submitted to Physics of Fluid
Chiral Condensate in Holographic QCD with Baryon Density
We consider the chiral condensate in the baryonic dense medium using the
generalized Sakai-Sugimoto model. It is defined as the vacuum expectation value
of open Wilson line that is proposed to be calculated by use of the area of
world-sheet instanton. We evaluate it in confined as well as deconfined phase.
In both phases, the chiral condensate has a minimum as a function of baryon
density. In the deconfined phase, taking into account the chiral symmetry
restoration, we classify the behavior of chiral condensate into three types.
One can set the parameter of the theory such that the results, in low but
sufficiently higher density, is in agreement with the expectation from QCD.Comment: 23 pages, 8 figure
Electronic structure, magnetic and dielectric properties of the edge-sharing copper-oxide chain compound NaCuO
We report an experimental study of \nco, a Mott insulator containing chains
of edge-sharing CuO plaquettes, by polarized x-ray absorption spectroscopy
(XAS), resonant magnetic x-ray scattering (RMXS), magnetic susceptibility, and
pyroelectric current measurements. The XAS data show that the valence holes
reside exclusively on the Cu sites within the copper-oxide spin chains
and populate a -orbital polarized within the CuO plaquettes. The RMXS
measurements confirm the presence of incommensurate magnetic order below a
N\'eel temperature of K, which was previously inferred from
neutron powder diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance data. In conjunction
with the magnetic susceptibility and XAS data, they also demonstrate a new
"orbital" selection rule for RMXS that is of general relevance for magnetic
structure determinations by this technique. Dielectric property measurements
reveal the absence of significant ferroelectric polarization below , which
is in striking contrast to corresponding observations on the isostructural
compound \lco. The results are discussed in the context of current theories of
multiferroicity.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figure
