Ultra-Strong Optomechanics Incorporating the Dynamical Casimir Effect
We propose a superconducting circuit comprising a dc-SQUID with mechanically
compliant arm embedded in a coplanar microwave cavity that realizes an
optomechanical system with a degenerate or non-degenerate parametric
interaction generated via the dynamical Casimir effect. For experimentally
feasible parameters, this setup is capable of reaching the single-photon,
ultra-strong coupling regime, while simultaneously possessing a parametric
coupling strength approaching the renormalized cavity frequency. This opens up
the possibility of observing the interplay between these two fundamental
nonlinearities at the single-photon level.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure, 1 tabl
Ferromagnetic resonance imaging of Co films using magnetic resonance force microscopy
Lateral one-dimensional imaging of cobalt (Co) films by means of microscopic ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) detected using the magnetic resonance force microscope (MRFM) is demonstrated. A novel approach involving scanning a localized magnetic probe is shown to enable FMR imaging in spite of the broad resonance linewidth. We introduce a spatially selective local field by means of a small, magnetically polarized spherical crystallite of yttrium iron garnet (YIG). Using MRFM-detected FMR signals from a sample consisting of two Co films, we can resolve the ∼20 μm lateral separation between the films. The results can be qualitatively understood by consideration of the calculated spatial profiles of the magnetic field generated by the YIG sphere
Inhomogeneous Low Frequency Spin Dynamics in La_{1.65}Eu_{0.2}Sr_{0.15}CuO_4
We report Cu and La nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements in the
title compound that reveal an inhomogeneous glassy behavior of the spin
dynamics. A low temperature peak in the La spin lattice relaxation rate and the
``wipeout'' of Cu intensity both arise from these slow electronic spin
fluctuations that reveal a distribution of activation energies. Inhomogeneous
slowing of spin fluctuations appears to be a general feature of doped lanthanum
cuprate.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures. Very slight modifications to figure

Spin Dynamics in the LTT Phase of ~1/8 Doped Single Crystal La_{1.67}Eu_{0.2}Sr_{0.13}CuO_4
We present La and Cu NMR relaxation measurements in single crystal
La_{1.67}Eu_{0.2}Sr_{0.13}CuO_4. A strong peak in the La spin-lattice
relaxation rate observed in the spin ordered state is well-described by the BPP
mechanism[1] and arises from continuous slowing of electronic spin fluctuations
with decreasing temperature; these spin fluctuations exhibit XY-like anisotropy
in the ordered state. The spin pseudogap is enhanced by the static
charge-stripe order in the LTT phase.Comment: Four pages, three figure
Strong enhancement of spin fluctuations in the low-temperature-tetragonal phase of antiferromagnetically ordered La_{2-x-y}Eu_ySr_xCuO_4
Measurements of the static magnetization, susceptibility and ESR of Gd spin
probes have been performed to study the properties of antiferromagnetically
ordered La_{2-x-y}Eu_ySr_xCuO_4 (x less or equal 0.02) with the low temperature
tetragonal structure. According to the static magnetic measurements the CuO_2
planes are magnetically decoupled in this structural phase. The ESR study
reveals strong magnetic fluctuations at the ESR frequency which are not present
in the orthorhombic phase. It is argued that this drastic enhancement of the
spin fluctuations is due to a considerable weakening of the interlayer exchange
and a pronounced influence of hole motion on the antiferromagnetic properties
of lightly hole doped La_2CuO_4. No evidence for the stripe phase formation at
small hole doping is obtained in the present study.Comment: 10 pages, LaTeX, 3 EPS figures; to be published in Journal of

Study of the neutron star structure in strong magnetic fields including the anomalous magnetic moments
We study the effects of strong magnetic fields on the neutron star structure.
If the interior field of a star is on the same order of the surface field
currently observed, the influences of the magnetic field on the star mass and
radius are negligible. If one assumes that the internal magnetic field can be
as large as that estimated from the scalar virial theorem, considerable effects
can be induced. The maximum mass of stars is arisen substantially while the
central density is largely suppressed. For two equal-mass stars the radius of
the magnetic star can be larger by about 10% 20% than the nonmagnetic
star.Comment: 26 pages, 5 postscript figures; replaced by the revised version,
