Instrumentation of a high-sensitivity microwave vector detection system for low-temperature applications
We present the design and the circuit details of a high-sensitivity microwave
vector detection system, which is aiming for studying the low-dimensional
electron system embedded in the slots of a coplanar waveguide at low
temperatures. The coplanar waveguide sample is placed inside a phase-locked
loop; the phase change of the sample may cause a corresponding change in the
operation frequency, which can be measured precisely. We also employ a
double-pulse modulation on the microwave signals, which comprises a fast pulse
modulation for gated averaging and a slow pulse modulation for lock-in
detection. In measurements on real samples at low temperatures, this system
provides much better resolutions in both amplitude and phase than most of the
conventional vector analyzers at power levels below -65 dBm.Comment: 7 pages, 11 figures, 1 table, lette
Winding up by a quench: vortices in the wake of rapid Bose-Einstein condensation
A second order phase transition induced by a rapid quench can lock out
topological defects with densities far exceeding their equilibrium expectation
values. We use quantum kinetic theory to show that this mechanism, originally
postulated in the cosmological context, and analysed so far only on the mean
field classical level, should allow spontaneous generation of vortex lines in
trapped Bose-Einstein condensates of simple topology, or of winding number in
toroidal condensates.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures; misprint correcte
On Inhomogeneity of a String Bit Model for Quantum Gravity
We study quantum gravitational effect on a two-dimensional open universe with
one particle by means of a string bit model. We find that matter is necessarily
homogeneously distributed if the influence of the particle on the size of the
universe is optimized.Comment: 16 pages, LaTeX2
Regenerative fuel cell combines high efficiency with low cost
Hydrogen/oxygen regenerative fuel cell stores electrical energy efficiently and inexpensively. The fuel cell has a high energy-to-weight ratio, and is adapted for a large number of cycles with deep discharge
Unitary Irreducible Representations of a Lie Algebra for Matrix Chain Models
There is a decomposition of a Lie algebra for open matrix chains akin to the
triangular decomposition. We use this decomposition to construct unitary
irreducible representations. All multiple meson states can be retrieved this
way. Moreover, they are the only states with a finite number of non-zero
quantum numbers with respect to a certain set of maximally commuting linearly
independent quantum observables. Any other state is a tensor product of a
multiple meson state and a state coming from a representation of a quotient
algebra that extends and generalizes the Virasoro algebra. We expect the
representation theory of this quotient algebra to describe physical systems at
the thermodynamic limit.Comment: 46 pages, no figure; LaTeX2e, amssymb, latexsym; typos correcte

Self-consistent Green's function calculation of 16O at small missing energies
Calculations of the one-hole spectral function of 16O for small missing
energies are reviewed.
The self-consistent Green's function approach is employed together with the
Faddeev equations technique in order to study the coupling of both
particle-particle and particle-hole phonons to the single-particle motion. The
results indicate that the characteristics of hole fragmentation are related to
the low-lying states of 16O and an improvement of the description of this
spectrum, beyond the random phase approximation, is required to understand the
experimental strength distribution.
A first calculation in this direction that accounts for two-phonon states is
discussed.Comment: Proceedings of ``Nuclear Forces and the Quantum Many-Body Problem'',
