Cyclotron radiation and emission in graphene
Peculiarity in the cyclotron radiation and emission in graphene is
theoretically examined in terms of the optical conductivity and relaxation
rates to propose that graphene in magnetic fields can be a candidate to realize
the Landau level laser, proposed decades ago [H. Aoki, Appl. Phys. Lett. {\bf
48}, 559 (1986)].Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
U(1) symmetry breaking in one-dimensional Mott insulator studied by the Density Matrix Renormalization Group method
A new type of external fields violating the particle number preservation is
studied in one-dimensional strongly correlated systems by the Density Matrix
Renormalization Group method. Due to the U(1) symmetry breaking, the ground
state has fluctuation of the total particle number, which implies injection of
electrons and holes from out of the chain. This charge fluctuation can be
relevant even at half-filling because the particle-hole symmetry is preserved
with the finite effective field. In addition, we discuss a quantum phase
transition obtained by considering the symmetry-breaking fields as a mean field
of interchain-hopping.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure
Electron transport through Aharonov-Bohm interferometer with laterally coupled double quantum dots
We theoretically investigate electron transport through an Aharonov-Bohm
interferometer containing laterally coupled double quantum dots. We introduce
the indirect coupling parameter , which characterizes the strength of
the coupling via the reservoirs between two quantum dots.
indicates the strongest coupling, where only a single mode contributes to the
transport in the system. Two conduction modes exist in a system where
. The interference effects such as the Fano resonance and the
Aharonov-Bohm oscillation are suppressed as the absolute value of the parameter
decreases from 1. The linear conductance does not depend on the flux
when since it corresponds to independent coupling of the dots to the
reservoir modes.Comment: 15 pages, 13 figure
Exotic baryons from a heavy meson and a nucleon - Positive parity states -
We study heavy baryons with exotic flavor quantum numbers formed by a heavy
meson and a nucleon (DbarN and BN) with positive parity. One pion exchange
interaction, providing a tensor force, dominates as a long range force to bind
the DbarN and BN ystems. In the heavy quark mass limit, pseudoscalar meson and
vector meson are degenerate and the binding mechanism by the tensor force
analogous to that in the nuclear systems becomes important. As a result, we
obtain the DbarN and BN resonant states in the J^P=1/2^+, 3/2^+ and 5/2^+
channels with I=0
Topological quantum phase transition in the BEC-BCS crossover phenomena
A crossover between the Bose Einstein condensation (BEC) and BCS
superconducting state is described topologically in the chiral symmetric
fermion system with attractive interaction. Using a local Z_2 Berry phase, we
found a quantum phase transition between the BEC and BCS phases without
accompanying the bulk gap closing.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Log-aesthetic Curves as Similarity Geometric Analogue of Euler's Elasticae
In this paper we consider the log-aesthetic curves and their generalization
which are used in CAGD. We consider those curves under similarity geometry and
characterize them as stationary integrable flow on plane curves which is
governed by the Burgers equation. We propose a variational formulation of those
curves whose Euler-Lagrange equation yields the stationary Burgers equation.
Our result suggests that the log-aesthetic curves and their generalization can
be regarded as the similarity geometric analogue of Euler's elasticae
Fermentation Quality of Phasey Bean and Guineagrass Silages
Silages were made from guineagrass (Panicum maximum Jacq. var. maximum) and phasey bean (Macroptilium lathyroides (L.) Urb.) at three-growth stages. The silages were investigated in relation fermentation quality. Phasey bean silage showed a better fermentation quality than guineagrass silage. The latic acid to total acid ratio of phasey bean silage was higher than 500g/kg DM, and the volatile basic nitrogen to total nitrogen ratio was lower than 100g/kg. It is concluded that phasey bean is an unique legume suitable for good silage fermentation
