Molecular dynamics of flows in the Knudsen regime
Novel technological applications often involve fluid flows in the Knudsen
regime in which the mean free path is comparable to the system size. We use
molecular dynamics simulations to study the transition between the dilute gas
and the dense fluid regimes as the fluid density is increased.Comment: REVTeX, 15 pages, 4 EPS figures, to appear in Physica
Three Phases in the 3D Abelian Higgs Model with Nonlocal Gauge Interactions
We study the phase structure of the 3D nonlocal compact U(1) lattice gauge
theory coupled with a Higgs field by means of Monte-Carlo simulations. The
nonlocal interactions among gauge variables are along the temporal direction
and mimic the effect of local coupling to massless particles. We found that in
contrast to the 3D local abelian Higgs model which has only one phase, the
present model exhibits the confinement, Higgs, and Coulomb phases separated by
three second-order transition lines emanating from a triple point. This result
is quite important for studies on electron fractionalization phenomena in
strongly-correlated electron systems. Implications to them are discussed
Beyond homozygosity mapping: family-control analysis based on Hamming distance for prioritizing variants in exome sequencing
A major challenge in current exome sequencing in autosomal recessive (AR) families is the lack of an effective method to prioritize single-nucleotide variants (SNVs). AR families are generally too small for linkage analysis, and length of homozygous regions is unreliable for identification of causative variants. Various common filtering steps usually result in a list of candidate variants that cannot be narrowed down further or ranked. To prioritize shortlisted SNVs we consider each homozygous candidate variant together with a set of SNVs flanking it. We compare the resulting array of genotypes between an affected family member and a number of control individuals and argue that, in a family, differences between family member and controls should be larger for a pathogenic variant and SNVs flanking it than for a random variant. We assess differences between arrays in two individuals by the Hamming distance and develop a suitable test statistic, which is expected to be large for a causative variant and flanking SNVs. We prioritize candidate variants based on this statistic and applied our approach to six patients with known pathogenic variants and found these to be in the top 2 to 10 percentiles of ranks
Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov state in a perpendicular field of quasi two-dimensional CeCoIn5
A Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnkov (FFLO) state was previously reported in the
quasi-2D heavy fermion CeCoIn5 when a magnetic field was applied parallel to
the ab-plane. Here, we conduct 115^In NMR studies of this material in a
PERPENDICULAR field, and provide strong evidence for FFLO in this case as well.
Although the topology of the phase transition lines in the H-T phase diagram is
identical for both configurations, there are several remarkable differences
between them. Compared to H//ab, the FFLO region for H perpendicular to the
ab-plane shows a sizable decrease, and the critical field separating the FFLO
and non-FFLO superconducting states almost ceases to have a temperature
dependence. Moreover, directing H perpendicular to the ab-plane results in a
notable change in the quasiparticle excitation spectrum within the planar node
associated with the FFLO transition.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure

Effect of electron-phonon coupling in the ARPES spectra of the tri-layer cuprate BiSrCaCuO
Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy using tunable low energy photons
allows us to study the quasi-particle (QP) dispersions of the inner and outer
CuO2 planes (IP and OP) separately in the tri-layer cuprate
BiSrCaCuO (Bi2223). The kink energy of the OP
band is 70 meV, as observed in various high- cuprates, while that
of the IP band is as large as 100 meV in the superconducting (SC) state. This
large kink energy is attributed to the 35 meV buckling mode plus the
large ( 60 meV) SC gap of IP. The IP band also shows a weak kink feature
at 70 meV in the SC state. The latter feature can be explained either by the 70
meV half-breathing mode or by the 35 meV buckling-phonon mode plus the
40 meV SC gap of OP if interlayer scattering of QP is involved.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure
An energy scale directly related to superconductivity in the high- cuprate superconductors: Universality from the Fermi arc picture
We have performed a temperature dependent angle-resolved photoemission
spectroscopy (ARPES) study of the tri-layer high- cuprate superconductor
(HTSC) BiSrCaCuO (Bi2223), and have shown that
the \textquotedblleft effective\textquotedblright superconducting (SC) gap
defined at the end point of the Fermi arc and the (=
110 K) approximately satisfies the weak-coupling BCS-relationship
2 = 4.3. Combining this result with previous
ARPES results on single- and double-layer cuprates, we show that the
relationship between 2 = 4.3 holds for various
HTSCs. Furthermore, at , the quasi-patricle width at the end
point of the Fermi arc is found to coincide with , consistent
with the context of Planckian dissipation.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Orientation Characteristics of Non-regiocontrolled Poly (3-hexyl-thiophene) Film by FTM on Various Liquid Substrates
Orientation characteristics of non-regiocontrolled poly (3-hexylthiophene) (NR-P3HT) films prepared by dynamic casting of floating film and transferring method (FTM) has been investigated. The film was first cast on liquid-substrate to obtain as a floating-film followed by its transfer on solid-substrate such as white-glass or Si-wafer in order to evaluate their optoelectronic characteristics. As a possible key-factor to generate the orientation of conjugated polymer in this method we focused on the components of liquid-substrate in this study. The orientation dependence upon various liquid-substrates reveals that dichroic ratio strongly changes with liquid-substrates. Pictures of floating-film show the change in size of floating-parts depending upon the liquid-substrate, representing the expansion length of casting solution upon the viscosity. These findings have indicated that spreading speed of polymer solution and solvent evaporation speed controls the size of floating-film leading to change in the orientation intensity. The multilayer coatings of oriented NR-P3HT films were used for polarized FTIR analysis exhibiting clear dichroism. The obtained dichroic characteristics were well corresponded with in-plane, out-of-plane and non-oriented vibronic modes of P3HT.India-Japan Expert Group Meeting on Biomolecular Electronics & Organic Nanotechnology for Environment Preservation (IJEGMBE 2015), December 23-26, 2015, Fukuoka, Japa
