A level-one representation of the quantum affine superalgebra \U_q(\hat{\frak{sl}}(M+1|N+1))
A level-one representation of the quantum affine superalgebra
\U_q(\hat{\frak{sl}}(M+1|N+1)) and vertex operators associated with the
fundamental representations are constructed in terms of free bosonic fields.
Character formulas of level-one irreducible highest weight modules of
\U_q(\hat{\frak{sl}}(2|1)) are conjectured.Comment: AMS-TeX, 11 page
Mechanical quality factor of a sapphire fiber at cryogenic temperatures
A mechanical quality factor of was obtained for the 199
Hz bending vibrational mode in a monocrystalline sapphire fiber at 6 K.
Consequently, we confirm that pendulum thermal noise of cryogenic mirrors used
for gravitational wave detectors can be reduced by the sapphire fiber
suspension.Comment: To be published to Physiscs Letters A. Number of pages: 10 Number of

Force measurements of a superconducting-film actuator for a cryogenic interferometric gravitational-wave detector
We measured forces applied by an actuator with a YBCO film at near 77 K for
the Large-scale Cryogenic Gravitational-wave Telescope (LCGT) project. An
actuator consisting of both a YBCO film of 1.6 micrometers thickness and 0.81
square centimeters area and a solenoid coil exerted a force of up to 0.2 mN on
a test mass. The presented actuator system can be used to displace the mirror
of LCGT for fringe lock of the interferometer.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure
Crystals for Demazure Modules of Classical Affine Lie Algebras
We study, in the path realization, crystals for Demazure modules of affine
Lie algebras of types . We find a special sequence of
affine Weyl group elements for the selected perfect crystal, and show if the
highest weight is l\La_0, the Demazure crystal has a remarkably simple
structure.Comment: Latex, 28 page
Ab initio study of reflectance anisotropy spectra of a sub-monolayer oxidized Si(100) surface
The effects of oxygen adsorption on the reflectance anisotropy spectrum (RAS)
of reconstructed Si(100):O surfaces at sub-monolayer coverage (first stages of
oxidation) have been studied by an ab initio DFT-LDA scheme within a
plane-wave, norm-conserving pseudopotential approach. Dangling bonds and the
main features of the characteristic RAS of the clean Si(100) surface are mostly
preserved after oxidation of 50% of the surface dimers, with some visible
changes: a small red shift of the first peak, and the appearance of a distinct
spectral structure at about 1.5 eV. The electronic transitions involved in the
latter have been analyzed through state-by-state and layer-by-layer
decompositions of the RAS. We suggest that new interplay between present
theoretical results and reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy experiments could
lead to further clarification of structural and kinetic details of the Si(100)
oxidation process in the sub-monolayer range.Comment: 21 pages, 8 figures. To be published in Physical Rev.
