Canonical-basis solution of the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov equation on three-dimensional Cartesian mesh
A method is presented to obtain the canonical-form solutions of the HFB
equation for atomic nuclei with zero-range interactions like the Skyrme force.
It is appropriate to describe pairing correlations in the continuum in
coordinate-space representations. An improved gradient method is used for
faster convergences under constraint of orthogonality between orbitals. To
prevent high-lying orbitals to shrink into a spatial point, a repulsive
momentum dependent force is introduced, which turns out to unveil the nature of
high-lying canonical-basis orbitals. The asymptotic properties at large radius
and the relation with quasiparticle states are discussed for the obtained
canonical basis.Comment: 23 pages including 17 figures, REVTeX4, revised version, scheduled to

Microbunching And Coherent Acceleration Of Electrons By Subcycle Laser Pulses
The pick up and acceleration of all plasma electrons irradiated by an intense, subcyclic laser pulse is demonstrated via analytical and numerical calculations. It is shown that the initial low emittance of the plasma electrons is conserved during the process of acceleration, leading to an extremely cold, bunched electron beam. Compression of the electron bunch along the longitudinal coordinate is naturally achieved due to the interaction of electrons and laser pulse. In this paper, we find the localized solutions to Maxwell's equations of a subcyclic laser pulse and use these to determine the acceleration of charged particles and we suggest future application for this acceleration mechanism as low energy particle injector and as electron source for coherent x-ray generation.Physic
Signatures of current loop coalescence in solar flares
The nonlinear coalescence instability of current carrying solar loops can explain many of the characteristics of the solar flares such as their impulsive nature, heating and high energy particle acceleration, amplitude oscillations of electromagnetic emission as well as the characteristics of 2-D microwave images obtained during a solar flare. The physical characteristics of the explosive coalescence of currents are presented in detail through computer simulation and theory. Canonical characteristics of the explosive coalescence are: (1) a large amount of impulsive increase of kinetic energies of electrons and ions; (2) simultaneous heating and acceleration of electrons and ions in high and low energy spectra; (3) ensuing quasi-periodic amplitude oscillations in fields and particle quantities; and (4) the double peak (or triple peak) structure in these profiles, participate in the coalescence process, yielding varieties of phenomena
Carbon-substitution effect on the electronic properties of MgB single crystals
The electronic properties of the carbon substituted MgB single crystals
are reported. The carbon substitution drops T below 2 K. In-plane
resistivity shows a remarkable increase in residual resistivity by
C-substitution, while the change of in-plane/out-of-plane Hall coefficients is
rather small. Raman scattering spectra indicate that the E-phonon
frequency radically hardens with increasing the carbon-content, suggesting the
weakening of electron-phonon coupling. Another striking C-effect is the
increases of the second critical fields in both in-plane and out-of-plane
directions, accompanied by a reduction in the anisotropy ratio. The possible
changes in the electronic state and the origin of T-suppression by
C-substitution are discussed.Comment: 6 pages, 8 figure
