Microwave resonance of the reentrant insulating quantum Hall phases in the 1st excited Landau Level
We present measurements of the real diagonal microwave conductivity of the
reentrant insulating quantum Hall phases in the first excited Landau level at
temperatures below 50 mK. A resonance is detected around filling factor
and weaker frequency dependence is seen at and 2.28.
These measurements are consistent with the formation of a bubble phase crystal
centered around these at very low temperatures
Phase Coherence and Superfluid-Insulator Transition in a Disordered Bose-Einstein Condensate
We have studied the effects of a disordered optical potential on the
transport and phase coherence of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of 7Li atoms.
At moderate disorder strengths (V_D), we observe inhibited transport and
damping of dipole excitations, while in time-of-flight images, random but
reproducible interference patterns are observed. In-situ images reveal that the
appearance of interference is correlated with density modulation, without
complete fragmentation. At higher V_D, the interference contrast diminishes as
the BEC fragments into multiple pieces with little phase coherence.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, distortions in figures 1 and 4 have been fixed in

Polymer Translocation in Crowded Environments
We study the effect of the crowded nature of the cellular cytoplasm on the
translocation of a polymer through a pore in a membrane. By systematically
treating the entropic penalty due to crowding, we show that the translocation
dynamics are significantly altered, leading to novel scaling behaviors of the
translocation time in terms of chain length. We also observe new and
qualitatively different translocation regimes depending upon the extent of
crowding, transmembrane chemical potential asymmetry, and polymer length.Comment: 4 figure
Small oscillations of a chiral Gross-Neveu system
We study the small oscillations regime (RPA approximation) of the
time-dependent mean-field equations, obtained in a previous work, which
describe the time evolution of one-body dynamical variables of a uniform Chiral
Gross-Neveu system. In this approximation we obtain an analytical solution for
the time evolution of the one-body dynamical variables. The two-fermion physics
can be explored through this solution. The condition for the existence of bound
states is examined.Comment: 21pages, Latex, 1postscript figur
Geometric and dynamic perspectives on phase-coherent and noncoherent chaos
Statistically distinguishing between phase-coherent and noncoherent chaotic
dynamics from time series is a contemporary problem in nonlinear sciences. In
this work, we propose different measures based on recurrence properties of
recorded trajectories, which characterize the underlying systems from both
geometric and dynamic viewpoints. The potentials of the individual measures for
discriminating phase-coherent and noncoherent chaotic oscillations are
discussed. A detailed numerical analysis is performed for the chaotic R\"ossler
system, which displays both types of chaos as one control parameter is varied,
and the Mackey-Glass system as an example of a time-delay system with
noncoherent chaos. Our results demonstrate that especially geometric measures
from recurrence network analysis are well suited for tracing transitions
between spiral- and screw-type chaos, a common route from phase-coherent to
noncoherent chaos also found in other nonlinear oscillators. A detailed
explanation of the observed behavior in terms of attractor geometry is given.Comment: 12 pages, 13 figure
Bosonization of One-Dimensional Exclusons and Characterization of Luttinger Liquids
We achieve a bosonization of one-dimensional ideal gas of exclusion
statistics at low temperatures, resulting in a new variant of
conformal field theory with compactified radius . These
ideal excluson gases exactly reproduce the low- critical properties of
Luttinger liquids, so they can be used to characterize the fixed points of the
latter. Generalized ideal gases with mutual statistics and non-ideal gases with
Luttinger-type interactions have also similar behavior, controlled by an
effective statistics varying in a fixed-point line.Comment: 13 pages, revte
The `bare' strange stars might not be bare
It is proposed that the `bare' strange matter stars might not be bare, and
radio pulsars might be in fact `bare' strange stars. As strange matter stars
being intensely magnetized rotate, the induced unipolar electric fields would
be large enough to construct magnetospheres. This situation is very similar to
that discussed by many authors for rotating neutron stars. Also, the strange
stars with accretion crusts in binaries could act as X-ray pulsars or X-ray
bursters. There are some advantages if radio pulsars are `bare' strange stars.Comment: 11 pages, 1 Postscript figures, LaTeX, Chin. Phys. Lett. 1998,

Dynamics of electrons in the quantum Hall bubble phases
In Landau levels N > 1, the ground state of the two-dimensional electron gas
(2DEG) in a perpendicular magnetic field evolves from a Wigner crystal for
small filling of the partially filled Landau level, into a succession of bubble
states with increasing number of guiding centers per bubble as the filling
increases, to a modulated stripe state near half filling. In this work, we show
that these first-order phase transitions between the bubble states lead to
measurable discontinuities in several physical quantities such as the density
of states and the magnetization of the 2DEG. We discuss in detail the behavior
of the collective excitations of the bubble states and show that their spectra
have higher-energy modes besides the pinned phonon mode. The frequencies of
these modes, at small wavevector k, have a discontinuous evolution as a
function of filling factor that should be measurable in, for example, microwave
absorption experiments.Comment: 13 pages, 7 figures. Corrected typos in eqs. (38),(39),(40
AC Magnetotransport in Reentrant Insulating Phases of Two-dimensional Electrons near 1/5 and 1/3 Landau fillings
We have measured high frequency magnetotransport of a high quality
two-dimensional electron system (2DES) near the reentrant insulating phase
(RIP) at Landau fillings () between 1/5 and 2/9. The
magneto\textit{conductivity} in the RIP has resonant behavior around 150 MHz,
showing a \textit{peak} at 0.21. Our data support the interpretation
of the RIP as due to some pinned electron solid. We have also investigated a
narrowly confined 2DES recently found to have a RIP at 1/31/2 and we
have revealed features, not seen in DC transport, that suggest some intriguing
interplay between the 1/3 FQHE and RIP.Comment: 4 pages and 1 figure (amsart format), 16th International Conference
