Infrared Hall conductivity of NaCoO
We report infrared Hall conductivity of
NaCoO thin films determined from Faraday rotation angle
measurements. exhibits two types of hole
conduction, Drude and incoherent carriers. The coherent Drude carrier shows a
large renormalized mass and Fermi liquid-like behavior of Hall scattering rate,
. The spectral weight is suppressed and disappears at T
= 120K. The incoherent carrier response is centered at mid-IR frequency and
shifts to lower energy with increasing T. Infrared Hall constant is positive
and almost independent of temperature in sharp contrast with the dc-Hall
constant.Comment: 5 Pages, 5 Figures. Author list corrected in metadata only, paper is

Kinetically-controlled thin-film growth of layered - and NaCoO cobaltate
We report growth characteristics of epitaxial -NaCoO and
-NaCoO thin films on (001) sapphire substrates grown by
pulsed-laser deposition. Reduction of deposition rate could change structure of
NaCoO thin film from -phase with island growth mode to
-phase with layer-by-layer growth mode. The
-NaCoO thin film exhibits spiral surface growth with
multiterraced islands and highly crystallized texture compared to that of the
-NaCoO thin film. This heterogeneous epitaxial film growth
can give opportunity of strain effect of physical properties and growth
dynamics of NaCoO as well as subtle nature of structural change.Comment: accepted for publication in Applied Physics Letter
Unusual superexchange pathways in a Ni triangular lattice of NiGaS with negative charge-transfer energy
We have studied the electronic structure of the Ni triangular lattice in
NiGaS using photoemission spectroscopy and subsequent model
calculations. The cluster-model analysis of the Ni 2 core-level spectrum
shows that the S 3 to Ni 3 charge-transfer energy is -1 eV and the
ground state is dominated by the configuration ( is a S 3 hole).
Cell perturbation analysis for the NiS triangular lattice indicates that
the strong S 3 hole character of the ground state provides the enhanced
superexchange interaction between the third nearest neighbor sites.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures, accepted to PR
Species Differentiation Of Fish Samples By Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis Of Cytochrome B Gene
Metode pengukuran polimorfisme fragmen hasil pemotongan produkreaksi polimorfik berantai oleh enzim restriksi spesifik (polymerase chainreaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism, RFLP-PCR) telah digunakanuntuk membedakan beberapa jenis ikan mentah. Situs cytochrome b mitokondria,yang diamplifikasi oleh primer universal, dipotong menggunakan empat enzimrestriksi (Bfa I, Hinf I, Msp I, Mbo II) sehingga dapat dianalisa fragment-fragmentpendeknya. Hasil yang diperolah dari pemotongan oleh enzim restriksi tersebutternyata dapat digunakan untuk membedakan tiap jenis ikan sampel. Hasilpenelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa PCR dan RFLP-PCR merupakan metode yangsensitif dan dapat dilakukan dalam waktu singkat untuk membedakan berbagaijenis ikan mentah
Catalysis in Action via Elementary Thermal Operations
We investigate catalysis in the framework of elementary thermal operations,
making use of its unique advantages to illuminate catalytic dynamics. As
groundwork, we establish new technical tools that improve the computability of
state transition rules for elementary thermal operations, in particular,
providing a full characterization of state transitions for a qutrit system.
Using these tools in conjunction with numerical methods, we find that by
adopting even just a qubit catalyst, one can significantly enlarge the set of
state transitions for a qutrit system, largely closing the gap of reachable
states between elementary thermal operations and generic thermal operations. In
addition, we decompose catalytic transitions into time-resolved evolution, from
which the nonequilibrium free energy exchanges are tracked. Our results
document the existence of simple and practicable catalytic advantage in
thermodynamics, and demonstrate a way to analyse the mechanism of catalytic
processes.Comment: 15+19 pages; 9 figures; comments are welcome
Signature of Carrier-Induced Ferromagnetism in Ti_{1-x}Co_{x}O_{2-delta}: Exchange Interaction Between High-Spin Co 2+ and the Ti 3d Conduction Band
X-ray photoemission spectroscopy measurements were performed on thin-film
samples of rutile Ti_{1-x}Co_{x}O_{2-delta} to reveal the electronic structure.
The Co 2p core level spectra indicate that the Co ions take the high-spin Co 2+
configuration, consistent with substitution on the Ti site. The high spin state
and the shift due to the exchange splitting of the conduction band suggest
strong hybridization between carriers in the Ti 3d t2g band and the t2g states
of the high-spin Co 2+. These observations support the argument that room
temperature ferromagnetism in Ti_{1-x}Co_{x}O_{2-delta} is intrinsic.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures. Accepted for publication in Physical Review

Gourd-shaped hole array germanium (Ge)-on-insulator photodiodes with improvedresponsivity and specific detectivity at 1,550 nm
Gourd-shaped hole array germanium (Ge) vertical p-i-n photodiodes were designed and demonstrated on a germanium-on-insulator (GOI) substrate with the excellent responsivity of 0.74 A/W and specific detectivity of 3.1 × 1010 cm·Hz1/2/W. It is calculated that the gourd-shaped hole design provides a higher optical absorption compared to a cylinder-shaped hole design. As a result, the external quantum efficiency for the gourd-shaped hole array photodetector was enhanced by ∼2.5× at 1,550 nm, comparing with hole-free array photodetectors. In addition, the extracted specific detectivity is superior to that of commercial bulk Ge photodiodes. The 3-dB bandwidth for the hole array photodetectors is improved by ∼10% due to a lower device capacitance. This work paves the way for low-cost and high-performance CMOS compatible photodetectors for Si-based photonic-integrated circuits
The Dropping of In-Medium Hadron Mass in Holographic QCD
We study the baryon density dependence of the vector meson spectrum using the
D4/D6 system together with the compact D4 baryon vertex. We find that the
vector meson mass decreases almost linearly in density at low density for small
quark mass, but saturates to a finite non-zero value for large density. We also
compute the density dependence of the mass and the
velocity. We find that in medium, our model is consistent with the GMOR
relation up to a few times the normal nuclear density. We compare our hQCD
predictions with predictions made based on hidden local gauge theory that is
constructed to model QCD.Comment: 20 pages, 7 figure
