Analysis of the strong coupling constant and the decay width of with QCD sum rules
In this article, we calculate the form factors and the coupling constant of
the vertex using the three-point QCD sum rules. We
consider the contributions of the vacuum condensates up to dimension in the
operator product expansion(OPE). And all possible off-shell cases are
considered, , and , resulting in three different form
factors. Then we fit the form factors into analytical functions and extrapolate
them into time-like regions, which giving the coupling constant for the
process. Our analysis indicates that the coupling constant for this vertex is
. The results of this work are very useful
in the other phenomenological analysis. As an application, we calculate the
coupling constant for the decay channel and
analyze the width of this decay with the assumption of the vector meson
dominance of the intermediate . Our final result about the decay
width of this decay channel is .Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1501.03088 by other author
Magnetoresistance of atomic-scale electromigrated nickel nanocontacts
We report measurements of the electron transport through atomic-scale
constrictions and tunnel junctions between ferromagnetic electrodes. Structures
are fabricated using a combination of e-beam lithography and controlled
electromigration. Sample geometries are chosen to allow independent control of
electrode bulk magnetizations. As junction size is decreased to the single
channel limit, conventional anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) increases in
magnitude, approaching the size expected for tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR)
upon tunnel junction formation. Significant mesoscopic variations are seen in
the magnitude and sign of the magnetoresistance, and no evidence is found of
large ballistic magnetoresistance effects.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figure
Transport Properties in the "Strange Metal Phase" of High Tc Cuprates: Spin-Charge Gauge Theory Versus Experiments
The SU(2)xU(1) Chern-Simons spin-charge gauge approach developed earlier to
describe the transport properties of the cuprate superconductors in the
``pseudogap'' regime, in particular, the metal-insulator crossover of the
in-plane resistivity, is generalized to the ``strange metal'' phase at higher
temperature/doping. The short-range antiferromagnetic order and the gauge field
fluctuations, which were the key ingredients in the theory for the pseudogap
phase, also play an important role in the present case. The main difference
between these two phases is caused by the existence of an underlying
statistical -flux lattice for charge carriers in the former case, whereas
the background flux is absent in the latter case. The Fermi surface then
changes from small ``arcs'' in the pseudogap to a rather large closed line in
the strange metal phase. As a consequence the celebrated linear in T dependence
of the in-plane and out-of-plane resistivity is shown explicitly to recover.
The doping concentration and temperature dependence of theoretically calculated
in-plane and out-of-plane resistivity, spin-relaxation rate and AC conductivity
are compared with experimental data, showing good agreement.Comment: 14 pages, 5 .eps figures, submitted to Phys. Rev. B, revised version

Fractional exclusion and braid statistics in one dimension: a study via dimensional reduction of Chern-Simons theory
The relation between braid and exclusion statistics is examined in
one-dimensional systems, within the framework of Chern-Simons statistical
transmutation in gauge invariant form with an appropriate dimensional
reduction. If the matter action is anomalous, as for chiral fermions, a
relation between braid and exclusion statistics can be established explicitly
for both mutual and nonmutual cases. However, if it is not anomalous, the
exclusion statistics of emergent low energy excitations is not necessarily
connected to the braid statistics of the physical charged fields of the system.
Finally, we also discuss the bosonization of one-dimensional anyonic systems
through T-duality.Comment: 19 pages, fix typo
On the Relation of Hard X-ray Peak Flux and Outburst Waiting Time in the Black Hole Transient GX 339-4
Aims. In this work we re-investigated the empirical relation between the hard
X-ray peak flux and the outburst waiting time found previously in the black
hole transient GX 339-4. We tested the relation using the observed hard X-ray
peak flux of the 2007 outburst of GX 339-4, clarified issues about faint
flares, and estimated the lower limit of hard X-ray peak flux for the next
outburst. Methods. We included Swift/BAT data obtained in the past four years.
Together with the CGRO/BATSE and RXTE/HEXTE light curves, the observations used
in this work cover a period of 18 years. Results. The observation of the 2007
outburst confirms the empirical relation discovered before. This strengthens
the apparent link between the mass in the accretion disk and the peak
luminosity of the brightest hard state that the black hole transient can reach.
We also show that faint flares with peak fluxes smaller than about 0.12 crab do
not affect the empirical relation. We predict that the hard X-ray peak flux of
the next outburst should be larger than 0.65 crab, which will make it at least
the second brightest in the hard X-ray since 1991.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, accepted by A&
