Information on the structure of the a1 from tau decay
The decay is analysed using different methods to
account for the resonance structure, which is usually ascribed to the a1. One
scenario is based on the recently developed techniques to generate axial-vector
resonances dynamically, whereas in a second calculation the a1 is introduced as
an explicit resonance. We investigate the influence of different assumptions on
the result. In the molecule scenario the spectral function is described
surprisingly well by adjusting only one free parameter. This result can be
systematically improved by adding higher order corrections to the iterated
Weinberg-Tomozawa interaction. Treating the a1 as an explicit resonance on the
other hand leads to peculiar properties

Efficient nonlinear room-temperature spin injection from ferromagnets into semiconductors through a modified Schottky barrier
We suggest a consistent microscopic theory of spin injection from a
ferromagnet (FM) into a semiconductor (S). It describes tunneling and emission
of electrons through modified FM-S Schottky barrier with an ultrathin heavily
doped interfacial S layer . We calculate nonlinear spin-selective properties of
such a reverse-biased FM-S junction, its nonlinear I-V characteristic, current
saturation, and spin accumulation in S. We show that the spin polarization of
current, spin density, and penetration length increase with the total current
until saturation. We find conditions for most efficient spin injection, which
are opposite to the results of previous works, since the present theory
suggests using a lightly doped resistive semiconductor. It is shown that the
maximal spin polarizations of current and electrons (spin accumulation) can
approach 100% at room temperatures and low current density in a nondegenerate
high-resistance semiconductor.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures; provides detailed comparison with earlier works

Positivity of Quasilocal Mass
Motivated by the important work of Brown adn York on quasilocal energy, we
propose definitions of quasilocal energy and momentum surface energy of a
spacelike 2-surface with positive intrinsic curvature in a spacetime. We show
that the quasilocal energy of the boundary of a compact spacelike hypersurface
which satisfies the local energy condition is strictly positive unless the
spacetime is flat along the spacelike hypersurface.Comment: 4 pages; final published versio
