Boojums in Rotating Two-Component Bose-Einstein Condensates
A boojum is a topological defect that can form only on the surface of an
ordered medium such as superfluid He and liquid crystals. We study
theoretically boojums appearing between two phases with different vortex
structures in two-component BECs where the intracomponent interaction is
repulsive in one phase and attractive in the other. The detailed structure of
the boojums is revealed by investigating its density distribution, effective
superflow vorticity and pseudospin texture.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Si/Ge hole-tunneling double-barrier resonant tunneling diodes formed on sputtered flat Ge layers
We have demonstrated Si/Ge hole-tunneling double-barrier resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) formed on flat Ge layers with a relaxation rate of 89% by our proposed method; in this method, the flat Ge layers can be directly formed on highly B-doped Si(001) substrates using our proposed sputter epitaxy method. The RTDs exhibit clear negative differential resistance effects in the static current–voltage (I–V) curves at room temperature. The quantized energy level estimation suggests that resonance peaks that appeared in the I–V curves are attributed to hole tunneling through the first heavy- and light-hole energy levels
Decay Properties of Bh and Db Produced in the Cm + Na Reaction
Decay properties of an isotope Bh and its daughter nucleus Db
produced by the Cm(Na, 5\textit{n}) reaction were studied by
using a gas-filled recoil separator coupled with a position-sensitive
semiconductor detector. Bh was clearly identified from the correlation
of the known nuclide, Db. The obtained decay properties of Bh
and Db are consistent with those observed in the 113 chain,
which provided further confirmation of the discovery of 113.Comment: Accepted for publication in J. Phys. Soc. JPN., to be published in

Rotating BEC in an optical lattice in Uniformly frustrated Josephson Junction arrays regime: Vortex configuration formulation for ground state
We consider a rotating BEC in an optical lattices in a regime which can be
mapped to the Joseohson junction arrays. In this regime, we formulate the
ground state energy in terms of vortex configuration. This method give us the
vortex lattice in the ground state in a natural way. We apply our result for an
approximation scheme of the problem which we suppose that the coupling of the
Josephson junctions are uniform. Application of method for ladder case
presented and the results compared with Monte-Carlo method numerically.We
discuss about restriction of method and suggest improvement for it.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figure
