Higher Derivative CP(N) Model and Quantization of the Induced Chern-Simons Term
We consider higher derivative CP(N) model in 2+1 dimensions with the
Wess-Zumino-Witten term and the topological current density squared term. We
quantize the theory by using the auxiliary gauge field formulation in the path
integral method and prove that the extended model remains renormalizable in the
large N limit. We find that the Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory is dynamically
induced in the large N effective action at a nontrivial UV fixed point. The
quantization of the Chern-Simons term is also discussed.Comment: 8 pages, no figure, a minor change in abstract, added Comments on the
quantization of the Chern-Simons term whose coefficient is also corrected,
and some references are added. Some typos are corrected. Added a new
paragraph checking the equivalence between (3) and (5), and a related

Electronic structures of layered perovskite Sr2MO4 (M=Ru, Rh, and Ir)
We investigated the electronic structures of the two-dimensional layered
perovskite Sr\textit{M}O (\textit{M}=4\textit{d} Ru, 4\textit{d}
Rh, and 5\textit{d} Ir) using optical spectroscopy and polarization-dependent O
1\textit{s} x-ray absorption spectroscopy. While the ground states of the
series of compounds are rather different, their optical conductivity spectra
exhibit similar interband transitions, indicative of the
common electronic structures of the 4\textit{d} and 5\textit{d} layered oxides.
The energy splittings between the two orbitals, ,
and , are about 2 eV, which is much larger
than those in the pseudocubic and 3\textit{d} layered perovskite oxides. The
electronic properties of the Sr\textit{M}O compounds are discussed
in terms of the crystal structure and the extended character of the 4\textit{d}
and 5\textit{d} orbitals

Electronic States in Diffused Quantum Wells
In the present study we calculate the energy values and the spatial
distributions of the bound electronic states in some diffused quantum wells.
The calculations are performed within the virtual crystal approximation, spin dependent empirical tight-binding model and the surface Green
function matching method. A good agreement is found between our results and
experimental data obtained for AlGaAs/GaAs quantum wells with thermally induced
changes in the profile at the interfaces. Our calculations show that for
diffusion lengths {\AA} the transition (C3-HH3) is not
sensitive to the diffusion length, but the transitions (C1-HH1), (C1-LH1),
(C2-HH2) and (C2-LH2) display large "blue shifts" as L_{D} increases. For
diffusion lengths {\AA} the transitions (C1-HH1) and (C1-LH1)
are less sensitive to the L_{D} changes than the (C3-HH3) transition. The
observed dependence is explained in terms of the bound states spatial
distributions.Comment: ReVTeX file, 7pp., no macros, 4 figures available on the reques
Iron Nanoparticle-induced activation of plasma membrane H+-ATPase Promotes Stomatal Opening in Arabidopsis thaliana
Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) enable the control and exploration of intermolecular interactions inside microscopic systems, but the potential environmental impacts of their inevitable release remain largely unknown. Plants exposed to ENMs display effects, such as increase in biomass and chlorophyll, distinct from those induced by exposure to their bulk counterparts, but few studies have addressed the mechanisms underlying such physiological results. The current investigation found that exposure of Arabidopsis thaliana to nano zerovalent iron (nZVI) triggered high plasma membrane H+-ATPase activity. The increase in activity caused a decrease in apoplastic pH, an increase in leaf area, and also wider stomatal aperture. Analysis of gene expression indicated that the levels of the H+-ATPase isoform responsible for stomatal opening, AHA2, were 5-fold higher in plants exposed to nZVI than in unexposed control plants. This is the first study to show that nZVI enhances stomatal opening by inducing the activation of plasma membrane H+-ATPase, leading to the possibility of increased CO2 uptake.X112119Ysciescopu
One-loop calculations of hyperon polarizabilities under the large N_c consistency condition
The spin-averaged electromagnetic polarizabilities of the hyperons
and are calculated within the one-loop approximation by use of the
dispersion theory. The photon and meson couplings to hyperons are determined so
as to satisfy the large N_c consistency condition. It is shown that in order
for the large N_c consistency condition to hold exotic hyperon states such as
with I=2 and J=3/2 are required in the calculation of the
magnetic polarizability of the state.Comment: 17 pages, REVTeX, no figure
Evidence of metallic clustering in annealed Ga1-xMnxAs from atypical scaling behavior of the anomalous Hall coefficient
We report on the anomalous Hall coefficient and longitudinal resistivity
scaling relationships on a series of annealed Ga1-xMnxAs epilayers (x~0.055).
As-grown samples exhibit scaling parameter n of ~ 1. Near the optimal annealing
temperature, we find n ~ 2 to be consistent with recent theories on the
intrinsic origins of anomalous Hall Effect in Ga1-xMnxAs. For annealing
temperatures far above the optimum, we note n > 3, similar behavior to certain
inhomogeneous systems. This observation of atypical behavior agrees well with
characteristic features attributable to spherical resonance from metallic
inclusions from optical spectroscopy measurements.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figure
Electron and orbital correlations in Ca_{2-x}Sr_{x}RuO_{4} probed by optical spectroscopy
The doping and temperature dependent optical conductivity spectra of the
quasi-two-dimensional Ca_{2-x}Sr_xRuO_4 (0.0=<x=<2.0) system were investigated.
In the Mott insulating state, two electron correlation-induced peaks were
observed around 1.0 and 1.9 eV, which could be understood in terms of the
3-orbital Hubbard model. The low frequency peak showed a shift toward higher
frequency as temperature was lowered, which indicated that electron-phonon
interactions play an important role in the orbital arrangements. From the
systematic analysis, it was suggested that the antiferro-orbital and the
ferro-orbital ordering states could coexist.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figure
Interplay between carrier and impurity concentrations in annealed GaMnAs intrinsic anomalous Hall Effect
Investigating the scaling behavior of annealed GaMnAs anomalous
Hall coefficients, we note a universal crossover regime where the scaling
behavior changes from quadratic to linear, attributed to the anomalous Hall
Effect intrinsic and extrinsic origins, respectively. Furthermore, measured
anomalous Hall conductivities when properly scaled by carrier concentration
remain constant, equal to theoretically predicated values, spanning nearly a
decade in conductivity as well as over 100 K in T. Both the qualitative
and quantitative agreement confirms the validity of new equations of motion
including the Berry phase contributions as well as tunablility of the intrinsic
anomalous Hall Effect.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
