Predicted defect induced vortex core switching in thin magnetic nanodisks
We investigate the influence of artificial defects (small holes) inserted
into magnetic nanodisks on the vortex core dynamics. One and two holes
(antidots) are considered. In general, the core falls into the hole but, in
particular, we would like to remark an interesting phenomenon not yet observed,
which is the vortex core switching induced by the vortex-hole interactions. It
occurs for the case with only one hole and for very special conditions
involving the hole size and position as well as the disk size. Any small
deformation in the disk geometry such as the presence of a second antidot
changes completely the vortex dynamics and the vortex core eventually falls
into one of the defects. After trapped, the vortex center still oscillates with
a very high frequency and small amplitude around the defect center.Comment: 11pages, Revtex format, 17 figure

New thought experiment to test the generalized second law of thermodynamics
We propose an extension of the original thought experiment proposed by
Geroch, which sparked much of the actual debate and interest on black hole
thermodynamics, and show that the generalized second law of thermodynamics is
in compliance with it.Comment: 4 pages (revtex), 3 figure

On the duality of three-dimensional superfield theories
Within the superfield approach, we consider the duality between the
supersymmetric Maxwell-Chern-Simons and self-dual theories in three spacetime
dimensions. Using a gauge embedding method, we construct the dual theory to the
self-dual model interacting with a matter superfield, which turns out to be not
the Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory coupled to matter, but a more complicated
model, with a ``restricted'' gauge invariance. We stress the difficulties in
dualizing the self-dual field coupled to matter into a theory with complete
gauge invariance. After that, we show that the duality, achieved between these
two models at the tree level, also holds up to the lowest order quantum
corrections.Comment: 18 pages,2 figures, revtex4, v2: corrected reference
