Microscopic Theory of Skyrmions in Quantum Hall Ferromagnets
We present a microscopic theory of skyrmions in the monolayer quantum Hall
ferromagnet. It is a peculiar feature of the system that the number density and
the spin density are entangled intrinsically as dictated by the W
algebra. The skyrmion and antiskyrmion states are constructed as W-rotated states of the hole-excited and electron-excited states,
respectively. They are spin textures accompanied with density modulation that
decreases the Coulomb energy. We calculate their excitation energy as a
function of the Zeeman gap and compared the result with experimental data.Comment: 15 pages (to be published in PRB

Magnetotransport Study of the Canted Antiferromagnetic Phase in Bilayer Quantum Hall State
Magnetotransport properties are investigated in the bilayer quantum Hall
state at the total filling factor . We measured the activation energy
elaborately as a function of the total electron density and the density
difference between the two layers. Our experimental data demonstrate clearly
the emergence of the canted antiferromagnetic (CAF) phase between the
ferromagnetic phase and the spin-singlet phase. The stability of the CAF phase
is discussed by the comparison between experimental results and theoretical
calculations using a Hartree-Fock approximation and an exact diagonalization
study. The data reveal also an intrinsic structure of the CAF phase divided
into two regions according to the dominancy between the intralayer and
interlayer correlations.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figure
Collective modes of CP(3) Skyrmion crystals in quantum Hall ferromagnets
The two-dimensional electron gas in a bilayer quantum Hall system can sustain
an interlayer coherence at filling factor nu=1 even in the absence of tunneling
between the layers. This system has low-energy charged excitations which may
carry textures in real spin or pseudospin. Away from filling factor nu =1 a
finite density of these is present in the ground state of the 2DEG and forms a
crystal. Depending on the relative size of the various energy scales, such as
tunneling (Delta_SAS), Zeeman coupling (Delta_Z) or electrical bias (Delta_b),
these textured crystal states can involve spin, pseudospin, or both
intertwined. In this article, we present a comprehensive numerical study of the
collective excitations of these textured crystals using the GRPA. For the pure
spin case, at finite Zeeman coupling the state is a Skyrmion crystal with a
gapless phonon mode, and a separate Goldstone mode that arises from a broken
U(1) symmetry. At zero Zeeman coupling, we demonstrate that the constituent
Skyrmions break up, and the resulting state is a meron crystal with 4 gapless
modes. In contrast, a pure pseudospin Skyrme crystal at finite tunneling has
only the phonon mode. For Delta_SAS=0, the state evolves into a meron crystal
and supports an extra gapless U(1) mode in addition to the phonon. For a CP(3)
Skyrmion crystal, we find a U(1) gapless mode in the presence of the
symmetry-breaking fields. In addition, a second mode with a very small gap is
present in the spectrum.Comment: 16 pages and 12 eps figure
Analysis of fibrinogen variants at gamma 387Ile shows that the side chain of gamma 387 and the tertiary structure of the gamma C-terminal tail are important not only for assembly and secretion of fibrinogen but also for lateral aggregation of protofibrils and XIIIa-catalyzed gamma-gamma dimer formation
