Determining Heavy Mass Parameters in Supersymmetric SO(10) Models
Extrapolations of soft scalar mass parameters in supersymmetric theories can
be used to explore elements of the physics scenario near the grand unification
scale. We investigate the potential of this method in the lepton sector of
SO(10) which incorporates right-handed neutrino superfields. The method is
exemplified in two models by exploring limits on the precision that can be
expected from coherent LHC and e+e- collider analyses in the reconstruction of
the fundamental scalar mass parameters at the unification scale and of the
D-terms related to the breaking of grand unification symmetries. In addition,
the mass of the third-generation right-handed neutrino can be estimated in
seesaw scenarios. Even though the models are simplified and not intended to
account for all aspects of a final comprehensive SO(10) theory, they provide
nevertheless a valid base for identifying essential elements that can be
inferred on the fundamental high-scale theory from high-energy experiments.Comment: 26 pp LaTeX; version published in Phys. Rev.
Electromigration in thin tunnel junctions with ferromagnetic/nonmagnetic: nanoconstrictions, local heating, and direct and wind forces
Current Induced Resistance Switching (CIS) was recently observed in thin
tunnel junctions with ferromagnetic (FM) electrodes \emph{i.e} FM/I/FM. This
effect was attributed to electromigration of metallic atoms in
nanoconstrictions in the insulating barrier (I). Here we study how the CIS
effect is influenced by a thin non-magnetic (NM) Ta layer, deposited just below
the AlO insulating barrier in tunnel junctions of the type FM/NM/I/FM
(FM=CoFe). Enhanced resistance switching occurs with increasing maximum applied
current (\Imax), until a plateau of constant CIS is reached for \Imax\sim65
mA (CIS60%) and above. However, such high electrical currents also lead
to a large (9%) irreversible resistance decrease, indicating barrier
degradation. Anomalous voltage-current characteristics with negative derivative
were also observed near \pm\Imax and this effect is here attributed to
heating in the tunnel junction. One observes that the current direction for
which resistance switches in FM/NM/I/FM (clockwise) is opposite to that of
FM/I/FM tunnel junctions (anti-clockwise). This effect will be discussed in
terms of a competition between the electromigration contributions due to the so
called direct and wind forces. It will be shown that the direct force is likely
to dominate electromigration in the Ta (NM) layers, while the wind contribution
likely dominates in the CoFe (FM) layers
Testing the SUSY-QCD Yukawa coupling in a combined LHC/ILC analysis
In order to establish supersymmetry (SUSY) at future colliders, the identity
of gauge couplings and the corresponding Yukawa couplings between gauginos,
sfermions and fermions needs to be verified. Here a first phenomenological
study for determining the Yukawa coupling of the SUSY-QCD sector is presented,
using a method which combines information from LHC and ILC.Comment: 5pp, slightly expanded version of contributions to the Proc. of the

Reconstruction of Fundamental SUSY Parameters
We summarize methods and expected accuracies in determining the basic
low-energy SUSY parameters from experiments at future ee linear
colliders in the TeV energy range, combined with results from LHC. In a second
step we demonstrate how, based on this set of parameters, the fundamental
supersymmetric theory can be reconstructed at high scales near the grand
unification or Planck scale. These analyses have been carried out for minimal
supergravity [confronted with GMSB for comparison], and for a string effective
theory.Comment: 8 pages, latex, 7 figures, expanded version of contributions to the

Two-magnon Raman scattering in spin-ladder geometries and the ratio of rung and leg exchange constants
We discuss ways in which the ratio of exchange constants along the rungs and
legs of a spin-ladder material influences the two-magnon Raman scattering
spectra and hence can be determined from it. We show that within the
Fleury-Loudon-Elliott approach, the Raman line-shape does not change with
polarization geometries. This lineshape is well known to be difficult to
calculate accurately from theory. However, the Raman scattering intensities do
vary with polarization geometries, which are easy to calculate. With some
assumptions about the Raman scattering Hamiltonian, the latter can be used to
estimate the ratio of exchange constants. We apply these results to Sugai's
recent measurements of Raman scattering from spin-ladder materials such as
LaCaCuO and SrCuO.Comment: 5 pages, revtex. Latest version focuses on ladder materials, with a
detailed examination of the role of Heisenberg-like coupling constants which
