Strain-induced magnetic phase transition in SrCoO thin films
It has been well established that both in bulk at ambient pressure and for
films under modest strains, cubic SrCoO () is a
ferromagnetic metal. Recent theoretical work, however, indicates that a
magnetic phase transition to an antiferromagnetic structure could occur under
large strain accompanied by a metal-insulator transition. We have observed a
strain-induced ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic phase transition in
SrCoO films grown on DyScO substrates, which provide a large
tensile epitaxial strain, as compared to ferromagnetic films under lower
tensile strain on SrTiO substrates. Magnetometry results demonstrate the
existence of antiferromagnetic spin correlations and neutron diffraction
experiments provide a direct evidence for a G-type antiferromagnetic structure
with Ne\'el temperatures between and depending on the oxygen content of the samples. Therefore, our
data experimentally confirm the predicted strain-induced magnetic phase
transition to an antiferromagnetic state for SrCoO thin films
under large epitaxial strain.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
Non-additive fusion, Hubbard models and non-locality
In the framework of quantum groups and additive R-matrices, the fusion
procedure allows to construct higher-dimensional solutions of the Yang-Baxter
equation. These solutions lead to integrable one-dimensional spin-chain
Hamiltonians. Here fusion is shown to generalize naturally to non-additive
R-matrices, which therefore do not have a quantum group symmetry. This method
is then applied to the generalized Hubbard models. Although the resulting
integrable models are not as simple as the starting ones, the general structure
is that of two spin-(s times s') sl(2) models coupled at the free-fermion
point. An important issue is the probable lack of regular points which give
local Hamiltonians. This problem is related to the existence of second order
zeroes in the unitarity equation, and arises for the XX models of higher spins,
the building blocks of the Hubbard models. A possible connection between some
Lax operators L and R-matrices is noted.Comment: 14 pages, Latex. A remark added in section 2, four typos correcte
Production and decay of the neutral top-pion in high energy colliders
We study the production and decay of the neutral top-pion
predicted by topcolor-assisted technicolor(TC2) theory. Our results show that,
except the dominant decay modes , and , the
can also decay into and modes. It can
be significantly produced at high energy collider(LC) experiments
via the processes and . We further calculate the production cross sections of the
processes and . We find that the signatures of the neutral top-pion
can be detected via these processes.Comment: Latex file, 13 Pages, 6 eps figures. to be published in Phys.Rev.
Berry Phase in Neutrino Oscillations
We study the Berry phase in neutrino oscillations for both Dirac and Majorana
neutrinos. In order to have a Berry phase, the neutrino oscillations must occur
in a varying medium, the neutrino-background interactions must depend on at
least two independent densities, and also there must be CP violation if the
neutrino interactions with matter are mediated only by the standard model W and
Z boson exchanges which implies that there must be at least three generations
of neutrinos. The CP violating Majorana phases do not play a role in generating
a Berry phase. We show that a natural way to satisfy the conditions for the
generation of a Berry phase is to have sterile neutrinos with active-sterile
neutrino mixing, in which case at least two active and one sterile neutrinos
are required. If there are additional new CP violating flavor changing
interactions, it is also possible to have a non-zero Berry phase with just two
generations.Comment: RevTex 16 pages, no figures, new discussions about sterile neutrino

Analytic Bethe Ansatz for 1-D Hubbard model and twisted coupled XY model
We found the eigenvalues of the transfer matrices for the 1-D Hubbard model
and for the coupled XY model with twisted boundary condition by using the
analytic Bethe Ansatz method. Under a particular condition the two models have
the same Bethe Ansatz equations. We have also proved that the periodic 1-D
Hubbard model is exactly equal to the coupled XY model with nontrivial twisted
boundary condition at the level of hamiltonians and transfer matrices.Comment: 22 pages, latex, no figure
Integrability of the Heisenberg Chains with Boundary Impurities and Their Bethe Ansatz
In this paper, we show the integrability of spin-1/2 XXZ Heisenberg chain
with two arbitrary spin boundary Impurities. By using the fusion method, we
generalize it to the spin-1 XXZ chain. Then the eigenvalues of Hamiltonians of
these models are obtained by the means of Bethe ansatz method.Comment: 13 pages, latex, no figures, to be appeared in J.Phys.
Exact solution of the lattice vertex model analog of the coupled Bariev XY chains
We present the algebraic Bethe Ansatz solution for the vertex model recently
proposed by Zhou as the classical analog of the Bariev interacting XY chains.
The relevant commutation rules between the creation fields contain the Hecke
symmetry pointed out recently by Hikami and Murakami. The eigenvalues of the
corresponding transfer matrix are explicitly given.Comment: Plain latex, 8 pag
Effect of Peierls transition in armchair carbon nanotube on dynamical behaviour of encapsulated fullerene
The changes of dynamical behaviour of a single fullerene molecule inside an
armchair carbon nanotube caused by the structural Peierls transition in the
nanotube are considered. The structures of the smallest C20 and Fe@C20
fullerenes are computed using the spin-polarized density functional theory.
Significant changes of the barriers for motion along the nanotube axis and
rotation of these fullerenes inside the (8,8) nanotube are found at the Peierls
transition. It is shown that the coefficients of translational and rotational
diffusions of these fullerenes inside the nanotube change by several orders of
magnitude. The possibility of inverse orientational melting, i.e. with a
decrease of temperature, for the systems under consideration is predicted.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figures, 1 tabl
