A Bi-Hamiltonian Formulation for Triangular Systems by Perturbations
A bi-Hamiltonian formulation is proposed for triangular systems resulted by
perturbations around solutions, from which infinitely many symmetries and
conserved functionals of triangular systems can be explicitly constructed,
provided that one operator of the Hamiltonian pair is invertible. Through our
formulation, four examples of triangular systems are exhibited, which also show
that bi-Hamiltonian systems in both lower dimensions and higher dimensions are
many and varied. Two of four examples give local 2+1 dimensional bi-Hamiltonian
systems and illustrate that multi-scale perturbations can lead to
higher-dimensional bi-Hamiltonian systems.Comment: 16 pages, to appear in J. Math. Phy
Reexamining the "finite-size" effects in isobaric yield ratios using a statistical abrasion-ablation model
The "finite-size" effects in the isobaric yield ratio (IYR), which are shown
in the standard grand-canonical and canonical statistical ensembles (SGC/CSE)
method, is claimed to prevent obtaining the actual values of physical
parameters. The conclusion of SGC/CSE maybe questionable for neutron-rich
nucleus induced reaction. To investigate whether the IYR has "finite-size"
effects, the IYR for the mirror nuclei [IYR(m)] are reexamined using a modified
statistical abrasion-ablation (SAA) model. It is found when the projectile is
not so neutron-rich, the IYR(m) depends on the isospin of projectile, but the
size dependence can not be excluded. In reactions induced by the very
neutron-rich projectiles, contrary results to those of the SGC/CSE models are
obtained, i.e., the dependence of the IYR(m) on the size and the isospin of the
projectile is weakened and disappears both in the SAA and the experimental
results.Comment: 5 pages and 4 figure

Supersymmetric A_4 X Z_3 and A_4 Realizations of Neutrino Tribimaximal Mixing Without and With Corrections
In an improved application of the tetrahedral symmetry A_4 first introduced
by Ma and Rajasekaran, supplemented by the discrete symmetry Z_3 as well as
supersymmetry, a two-parameter form of the neutrino mass matrix is derived
which exhibits the tribimaximal mixing of Harrison, Perkins, and Scott. This
form is the same one obtained previously by Altarelli and Feruglio, and the
inverse of that obtained by Babu and He. If only A_4 is used, then corrections
appear, making tan^2(theta_{12}) differenet from 0.5, without changing
significantly sin^2(2 theta_{23}) from one or theta_{13} from zero.Comment: 8 pages, no figur
A refined invariant subspace method and applications to evolution equations
The invariant subspace method is refined to present more unity and more
diversity of exact solutions to evolution equations. The key idea is to take
subspaces of solutions to linear ordinary differential equations as invariant
subspaces that evolution equations admit. A two-component nonlinear system of
dissipative equations was analyzed to shed light on the resulting theory, and
two concrete examples are given to find invariant subspaces associated with
2nd-order and 3rd-order linear ordinary differential equations and their
corresponding exact solutions with generalized separated variables.Comment: 16 page
A Class of Coupled KdV systems and Their Bi-Hamiltonian Formulations
A Hamiltonian pair with arbitrary constants is proposed and thus a sort of
hereditary operators is resulted. All the corresponding systems of evolution
equations possess local bi-Hamiltonian formulation and a special choice of the
systems leads to the KdV hierarchy. Illustrative examples are given.Comment: 8 pages, late
Time-Dependent Symmetries of Variable-Coefficient Evolution Equations and Graded Lie Algebras
Polynomial-in-time dependent symmetries are analysed for polynomial-in-time
dependent evolution equations. Graded Lie algebras, especially Virasoro
algebras, are used to construct nonlinear variable-coefficient evolution
equations, both in 1+1 dimensions and in 2+1 dimensions, which possess
higher-degree polynomial-in-time dependent symmetries. The theory also provides
a kind of new realisation of graded Lie algebras. Some illustrative examples
are given.Comment: 11 pages, latex, to appear in J. Phys. A: Math. Ge
Simultaneous planar growth of amorphous and crystalline Ni silicides
We report a solid-state interdiffusion reaction induced by rapid thermal annealing and vacuum furnace annealing in evaporated Ni/Si bilayers. Upon heat treatment of a Ni film overlaid on a film of amorphous Si evaporated from a graphite crucible, amorphous and crystalline silicide layers grow uniformly side by side as revealed by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy and backscattering spectrometry. This phenomenon contrasts with the silicide formation behavior previously observed in the Ni-Si system, and constitutes an interesting counterpart of the solid-state interdiffusion-induced amorphization in Ni/Zr thin-film diffusion couples. Carbon impurity contained in the amorphous Si film stabilizes the amorphous phase. Kinetic and thermodynamic factors that account for the experimental findings are discussed
Solid-state interdiffusion reactions in Ni/Ti and Ni/Zr multilayered thin films
We have performed a comparative transmission electron microscopy study of solid-state interdiffusion reactions in multilayered Ni/Zr and Ni/Ti thin films. The Ni-Zr reaction product was amorphous while the Ni-Ti reaction product was a simple intermetallic compound. Because thermodynamic and chemical properties of these two alloy systems are similar, we suggest kinetic origins for this difference in reaction product
