Nonlinear current-voltage behavior and electrically driven phase transition in charge frustrated LuFe2O4
Electric transport measurements of the charge frustrated LuFe2O4, in which
the charge ordering (CO) and electronic ferroelectricity are found, reveal
strong nonlinear electric conduction upon application of electrical field in
both single crystalline and polycrystalline samples. The threshold electric
fields (Et) in single crystalline LuFe2O4 are estimated respectively to be
about 60V/cm and 10V/cm with E parallel and perpendicular to the c-axis
direction. Experimental measurements also demonstrate that the I-V nonlinearity
increases quickly with lowering temperature. Furthermore, our in-situ TEM
investigations evidently reveal that the nonlinear I-V behavior is
intrinsically in correlation with a current driven charge ordering
insulator-metal transition, and the applied electrical field triggers a visible
CO collapse recognizable as the fading of satellite spots of the CO
modulations
Limits on Light Weakly Interacting Massive Particles from the First 102.8 kg day Data of the CDEX-10 Experiment
We report the first results of a light weakly interacting massive particles
(WIMPs) search from the CDEX-10 experiment with a 10 kg germanium detector
array immersed in liquid nitrogen at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory
with a physics data size of 102.8 kg day. At an analysis threshold of 160 eVee,
improved limits of 8 and 3 cm at a
90\% confidence level on spin-independent and spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon cross
sections, respectively, at a WIMP mass () of 5 GeV/ are
achieved. The lower reach of is extended to 2 GeV/.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Measurement of the branching fractions of psi(2S) -> 3(pi+pi-) and J/psi -> 2(pi+pi-)
Using data samples collected at sqrt(s) = 3.686GeV and 3.650GeV by the BESII
detector at the BEPC, the branching fraction of psi(2S) -> 3(pi+pi-) is
measured to be [4.83 +- 0.38(stat) +- 0.69(syst)] x 10^-4, and the relative
branching fraction of J/psi -> 2(pi+pi-) to that of J/psi -> mu+mu- is measured
to be [5.86 +- 0.19(stat) +- 0.39(syst)]% via psi(2S) -> (pi+pi-)J/psi, J/psi
-> 2(pi+pi-). The electromagnetic form factor of 3(pi+pi-) is determined to be
0.21 +- 0.02 and 0.20 +- 0.01 at sqrt(s) = 3.686GeV and 3.650GeV, respectively.Comment: 17pages, 7 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Measurement of the chi_{c2} Polarization in psi(2S) to gamma chi_{c2}
The polarization of the chi_{c2} produced in psi(2S) decays into gamma
chi_{c2} is measured using a sample of 14*10^6 psi(2S) events collected by
BESII at the BEPC. A fit to the chi_{c2} production and decay angular
distributions in psi(2S) to gamma chi_{c2}, chi_{c2} to pi pi and KK yields
values x=A_1/A_0=2.08+/-0.44 and y=A_2/A_0=3.03 +/-0.66, with a correlation
rho=0.92 between them, where A_{0,1,2} are the chi_{c2} helicity amplitudes.
The measurement agrees with a pure E1 transition, and M2 and E3 contributions
do not differ significantly from zero.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl
Measurements of J/psi decays into phi pi^0, phi eta, and phi eta^prime
Based on 5.8x10^7 J/psi events detected in BESII, the branching fractions of
J/psi--> phi eta and phi eta^prime are measured for different eta and eta^prime
decay modes. The results are significantly higher than previous measurements.
An upper limit on B(J/psi--> phi pi^0) is also obtained.Comment: 9 pages, 10 figure
Search for Light Weakly-Interacting-Massive-Particle Dark Matter by Annual Modulation Analysis with a Point-Contact Germanium Detector at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory
We present results on light weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP)
searches with annual modulation (AM) analysis on data from a 1-kg mass -type
point-contact germanium detector of the CDEX-1B experiment at the China Jinping
Underground Laboratory. Datasets with a total live time of 3.2 yr within a 4.2
yr span are analyzed with analysis threshold of 250 eVee. Limits on
WIMP-nucleus (-) spin-independent cross sections as function of WIMP
mass () at 90\% confidence level (C.L.) are derived using the dark
matter halo model. Within the context of the standard halo model, the 90\% C.L.
allowed regions implied by the DAMA/LIBRA and CoGeNT AM-based analysis are
excluded at 99.99\% and 98\% C.L., respectively. These results correspond to
the best sensitivity at 6 among WIMP AM
measurements to date.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
