Strong Magnetization Measured in the Cool Cores of Galaxy Clusters

Tangential discontinuities, seen as X-ray edges known as cold fronts (CFs), are ubiquitous in cool-core galaxy clusters. We analyze all 17 deprojected CF thermal profiles found in the literature, including three new CFs we tentatively identify (in clusters A2204 and 2A0335). We discover small but significant thermal pressure drops below all nonmerger CFs, and argue that they arise from strong magnetic fields below and parallel to the discontinuity, carrying 10%-20% of the pressure. Such magnetization can stabilize the CFs, and explain the CF-radio minihalo connection.Comment: PRL accepted, additional control tests adde

Ni-impurity effects on the superconducting gap of La2−x_{2-x}Srx_{x}CuO4_4 studied from the magnetic field and temperature dependence of the electronic specific heat

The magnetic field and temperature dependence of the electronic specific heat $C_{\rm el}$ have been systematically investigated in $\rm La_{2-{\it x}}Sr_{\it x}Cu_{1-{\it y}}Ni_{\it y}O_4$ (LSCNO) in order to study Ni-impurity effects on the superconducting (SC) gap. In LSCNO with $x$=0.15 and $y$=0.015, the value of $\gamma$ ($\equiv C_{\rm el}/T$) at $T$=0 K, $\gamma_0$, is enhanced under the magnetic field $H$ applied along the $\bm c$-axis. The increment of $\gamma_0$, $\Delta \gamma_0$, follows the Volovik relation $\Delta \gamma_0$=$A\sqrt{H}$, characteristic of the SC gap with line nodes, with prefactor $A$ similar to that of a pure sample. The $C_{\rm el}/T$ vs. $T$ curve under $H$=0 shows a d-wave-like SC anomaly with an abrupt increase at $T_{\rm c}$ and $T$-linear dependence at $T$$\ll$$T_{\rm c}$, although the $\gamma_0$-value in the $C_{\rm el}/T$ vs. $T$ curve increases with increasing Ni concentrations. Interestingly, as the SC part of $C_{\rm el}/T$, $C_{\rm el}/T$$-$$\gamma_0$$\equiv$$\gamma_{\rm s}$, decreases in LSCNO, $T_{\rm c}$ is reduced in proportion to the decrease of $\gamma_{\rm s}$. These findings can be explained phenomenologically by a simple model in which Ni impurities bring about strong pair breaking at the edges of the coherent nodal part of the Fermi surface but in the vicinity of the nodes of the SC gap. The reduction of the SC condensation energy $U_0$ in LSCNO, evaluated from $C_{\rm el}$ at $T$ {0.3em}\raisebox{0.4ex}{$<$} {-0.75em}\raisebox{-.7ex}{$\sim$} {0.3em}$T_{\rm c}$, is also understood by the same model.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, accepted in Phys.

Narrow Line Photoassociation in an Optical Lattice

With ultracold $^{88}$Sr in a 1D magic wavelength optical lattice, we performed narrow line photoassociation spectroscopy near the $^1$S$_0 - ^3$P$_1$ intercombination transition. Nine least-bound vibrational molecular levels associated with the long-range $0_u$ and $1_u$ potential energy surfaces were measured and identified. A simple theoretical model accurately describes the level positions and treats the effects of the lattice confinement on the line shapes. The measured resonance strengths show that optical tuning of the ground state scattering length should be possible without significant atom loss.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
