Alignment and orientation of an adsorbed dipole molecule
Half-cycle laser pulse is applied on an absorbed molecule to investigate its
alignment and orientation behavior. Crossover from field-free to hindered
rotation motion is observed by varying the angel of hindrance of potential
well. At small hindered angle, both alignment and orientation show
sinusoidal-like behavior because of the suppression of higher excited states.
However, mean alignment decreases monotonically as the hindered angle is
increased, while mean orientation displays a minimum point at certain hindered
angle. The reason is attributed to the symmetry of wavefunction and can be
explained well by analyzing the coefficients of eigenstates.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev. B (2004
Bosonization for 2D Interacting Fermion Systems: Non-Fermi Liquid Behavior
Non-Fermi liquid behavior is found for the first time in a two-dimensional
(2D) system with non-singular interactions using Haldane's bosonization scheme.
The bosonized system is solved exactly by a generalized Bogoliubov
transformation. The fermion momentum distribution, calculated using a
generalized Mattis-Lieb technique, exhibits a non-universal power law in the
vicinity of the Fermi surface for intermediate interaction strengths.Comment: 13 pages, 2 figures upon request, latex. (to appear in Mod. Phys.

Gauge-Higgs Unification and Quark-Lepton Phenomenology in the Warped Spacetime
In the dynamical gauge-Higgs unification of electroweak interactions in the
Randall-Sundrum warped spacetime the Higgs boson mass is predicted in the range
120 GeV -- 290 GeV, provided that the spacetime structure is determined at the
Planck scale. Couplings of quarks and leptons to gauge bosons and their
Kaluza-Klein (KK) excited states are determined by the masses of quarks and
leptons. All quarks and leptons other than top quarks have very small couplings
to the KK excited states of gauge bosons. The universality of weak interactions
is slightly broken by magnitudes of , and for
-, - and -, respectively. Yukawa couplings become
substantially smaller than those in the standard model, by a factor |\cos
\onehalf \theta_W| where is the non-Abelian Aharonov-Bohm phase
(the Wilson line phase) associated with dynamical electroweak symmetry
breaking.Comment: 34 pages, 7 eps files, comments and a reference adde
