Transverse Quark Distribution in Mesons - QCD Sum Rule Approach -
QCD sum rules are used to compute the first few moments of the mesonic quark
momentum. Transverse, longitudinal and mixed transverse-longitudinal components
are examined. The transverse size of the pion is shown to be dictated by the
gluon condensate, even though the mass and the longitudinal distribution are
dominated by the quark condensate. The implications of our results for color
transparency physics and finite temperature QCD are discussed.Comment: 8 pages, Latex, Univ. of Washington preprint DOE/ER/40427-24-N9
Spin Current and Current-Induced Spin Transfer Torque in Ferromagnet-Quantum Dot-Ferromagnet Coupled Systems
Based on Keldysh's nonequilibrium Green function method, the spin-dependent
transport properties in a ferromagnet-quantum dot (QD)-ferromagnet coupled
system are investigated. It is shown the spin current shows quite different
characteristics from its electrical counterpart, and by changing the relative
orientation of both magnetizations, it can change its magnitude even sign. The
current-induced spin transfer torque (CISTT) is uncovered to be greatly
enhanced when the bias voltage meets with the discrete levels of the QD at
resonant positions. The relationship between the CISTT, the electrical current
and the spin current is also addressed.Comment: 21 pages, 8 figure
The Sources and Sustainability of China's Economic Growth
China’s economic transformation is proceeding at different rates across different regions and sectors, and China’s most advanced regional sector, coastal industry, still lags well behind the world’s technology frontier. This paper explores the implications of these internal and international productivity disparities for China’s ability to sustain rapid economic growth. When China’s GDP catches up to U.S. GDP, Chinese living standards still will be only one quarter those of the United States. If, at that time, productivity in some major regions and sectors remains far below the average, coastal industry may have to achieve productivity that approaches or even exceeds U.S. productivity. Coastal industry’s productivity growth is then likely to slow substantially, impeding China’s overall economic growth. The paper examines the need for policies that facilitate economic integration across regions, to enable the lagging regions and sectors to catch up to coastal industry, and the prospects for continued institutional reform.China, macroeconomics, economic growth, China GDP
