Collective oscillations of dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates and accurate comparison between contact and dipolar interaction
We propose a scheme for the measurement of the s-wave scattering length
of an atom or molecule with significant dipole-dipole interaction with an
accuracy at the percent level. The frequencies of the collective oscillations
of a Bose-Einstein condensate are shifted by the magnetic dipole interaction.
The shift is polarization dependent and proportional to the ratio
of dipolar and s-wave coupling constants. Measuring the
differences in the frequencies for different polarization we can extract the
value of and thus measure . We calculate the frequency
shifts for a large variety of non-axisymmetric harmonic traps in the
Thomas-Fermi limit and find optimal trapping geometries to maximize the shifts.Comment: 4 pages, brief repor
Novel quantum phases of dipolar Bose gases in optical lattices
We investigate the quantum phases of polarized dipolar Bosons loaded into a
two-dimensional square and three-dimensional cubic optical lattices. We show
that the long-range and anisotropic nature of the dipole-dipole interaction
induces a rich variety of quantum phases, including the supersolid and striped
supersolid phases in 2D lattices, and the layered supersolid phase in 3D
lattices.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Synthesis of Quinazoline and Quinazolinone Derivatives via Ligand-Promoted Ruthenium-Catalyzed Dehydrogenative and Deaminative Coupling Reaction of 2-Aminophenyl Ketones and 2-Aminobenzamides with Amines
The in situ formed ruthenium catalytic system ([Ru]/L) was found to be highly selective for the dehydrogenative coupling reaction of 2-aminophenyl ketones with amines to form quinazoline products. The deaminative coupling reaction of 2-aminobenzamides with amines led to the efficient formation of quinazolinone products. The catalytic coupling method provides an efficient synthesis of quinazoline and quinazolinone derivatives without using any reactive reagents or forming any toxic byproducts
Multi-vortex dynamics in junctions of charge density waves
Ground state reconstruction by creation of topological defects in junctions
of CDWs is a convenient playground for modern efforts of field-effect
transformations in strongly correlated materials with spontaneous symmetry
breakings. Being transient, this effect contributes also to another new science
of pump-induced phase transitions. We present a dynamical model for behavior of
the CDW in restricted geometries of junctions under an applied voltage or a
passing current. The model takes into account multiple interacting fields: the
amplitude and the phase of the CDW complex order parameter, distributions of
the electric field, the density and the current of various normal carriers. A
particular challenge was to monitor the local conservation of the condensed and
the normal charge densities. That was done easily invoking the chiral
invariance and the associated anomaly, but prize is an unconventional
Ginsburg-Landau type theory which is not analytic with respect to the order
parameter. The numerical modeling poses unusual difficulties but still can
demonstrate that vortices are nucleated at the junction boundary when the
voltage across, or the current through, exceed a threshold.Comment: To be published in proceedings of the conference SUPERSTRIPES-2014,

Identification of delays and discontinuity points of unknown systems by using synchronization of chaos
In this paper we present an approach in which synchronization of chaos is
used to address identification problems. In particular, we are able to
identify: (i) the discontinuity points of systems described by piecewise
dynamical equations and (ii) the delays of systems described by delay
differential equations. Delays and discontinuities are widespread features of
the dynamics of both natural and manmade systems. The foremost goal of the
paper is to present a general and flexible methodology that can be used in a
broad variety of identification problems.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figure
Exotic Topological States with Raman-Induced Spin-Orbit Coupling
We propose a simple experimental scheme to realize simultaneously the
one-dimensional spin-orbit coupling and the staggered spin-flip in ultracold
pseudospin- atomic Fermi gases trapped in square optical lattices. In the
absence of interspecies interactions, the system supports gapped Chern
insulators and gapless topological semimetal states. By turning on the -wave
interactions, a rich variety of gapped and gapless inhomogeneous topological
superfluids can emerge. In particular, a gapped topological Fulde-Ferrell
superfluid, in which the chiral edge states at opposite boundaries possess the
same chirality, is predicted.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figure
Dynamical properties of dipolar Fermi gases
We investigate dynamical properties of a one-component Fermi gas with
dipole-dipole interaction between particles. Using a variational function based
on the Thomas-Fermi density distribution in phase space representation, the
total energy is described by a function of deformation parameters in both real
and momentum space. Various thermodynamic quantities of a uniform dipolar Fermi
gas are derived, and then instability of this system is discussed. For a
trapped dipolar Fermi gas, the collective oscillation frequencies are derived
with the energy-weighted sum rule method. The frequencies for the monopole and
quadrupole modes are calculated, and softening against collapse is shown as the
dipolar strength approaches the critical value. Finally, we investigate the
effects of the dipolar interaction on the expansion dynamics of the Fermi gas
and show how the dipolar effects manifest in an expanded cloud.Comment: 14 pages, 8 figures, submitted to New J. Phy
The temperature dependence of the local tunnelling conductance in cuprate superconductors with competing AF order
Based on the model with proper chosen parameters for describing
the cuprate superconductors, it is found that near the optimal doping at low
temperature (), only the pure d-wave superconductivity (SC) prevails and
the antiferromagnetic (AF) order is completely suppressed. At higher , the
AF order with stripe modulation and the accompanying charge order may emerge,
and they could exist above the SC transition temperature. We calculate the
local differential tunnelling conductance (LDTC) from the local density of
states (LDOS) and show that their energy variations are rather different from
each other as increases. Although the calculated modulation periodicity in
the LDTC/LDOS and bias energy dependence of the Fourier amplitude of LDTC in
the "pseudogap" region are in good agreement with the recent STM experiment
[Vershinin , Science {\bf 303}, 1995 (2004)], we point out that some of
the energy dependent features in the LDTC do not represent the intrinsic
characteristics of the sample
