Optimizing the catching of atoms or molecules in two-dimensional traps
Single-photon cooling is a recently introduced method to cool atoms and
molecules for which standard methods might not be applicable. We numerically
examine this method in a two-dimensional wedge trap as well as in a
two-dimensional harmonic trap. An element of the method is an optical dipole
box trapping atoms irreversibly. We show that the cooling efficiency of the
single-photon method can be improved by optimizing the trajectory of this
optical dipole box.Comment: 8 pages, 11 figures, improved version with corrected typos et
Spin waves in the (0,pi) and (0,pi,pi) ordered SDW states of the t-t' Hubbard model: Application to doped iron pnictides
Spin waves in (0,pi) and (0,pi,pi) ordered spin-density-wave (SDW) states of
the t-t' Hubbard model are investigated at finite doping. In the presence of
small t', these composite ferro-antiferromagnetic (F-AF) states are found to be
strongly stabilized at finite hole doping due to enhanced carrier-induced
ferromagnetic spin couplings as in metallic ferromagnets. Anisotropic spin-wave
velocities, spin-wave energy scale of around 200meV, reduced magnetic moment,
and rapid suppression of magnetic order with electron doping x (corresponding
to F substitution of O atoms in La O_{1-x} F_x Fe As or Ni substitution of Fe
atoms in Ba Fe_{2-x} Ni_x As_2) obtained in this model are in agreement with
observed magnetic properties of doped iron pnictides.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figure

The Band Gap in Silicon Nanocrystallites
The gap in semiconductor nanocrystallites has been extensively studied both
theoretically and experimentally over the last two decades. We have compared a
recent ``state-of-the-art'' theoretical calculation with a recent
``state-of-the-art'' experimental observation of the gap in Si nanocrystallite.
We find that the two are in substantial disagreement, with the disagreement
being more pronounced at smaller sizes. Theoretical calculations appear to
over-estimate the gap. Recognizing that the experimental observations are for a
distribution of crystallite sizes, we proffer a phenomenological model to
reconcile the theory with the experiment. We suggest that similar
considerations must dictate comparisons between the theory and experiment
vis-a-vis other properties such as radiative rate, decay constant, absorption
coefficient, etc.Comment: 5 pages, latex, 2 figures. (Submitted Physical Review B
Observation of tunable exchange bias in SrYbRuO
The double perovskite compound, SrYbRuO, displays reversal in the
orientation of magnetic moments along with negative magnetization due to an
underlying magnetic compensation phenomenon. The exchange bias (EB) field below
the compensation temperature could be the usual negative or the positive
depending on the initial cooling field. This EB attribute has the potential of
getting tuned in a preselected manner, as the positive EB field is seen to
crossover from positive to negative value above .Comment: 4 Pages, 4 Figure
