Evolution of Surface Deformations of Weakly-Bound Nuclei in the Continuum
We study weakly-bound deformed nuclei based on the coordinate-space Skyrme
Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approach, in which a large box is employed for treating
the continuum and surface diffuseness. Approaching the limit of core-halo
deformation decoupling, calculations found an exotic "egg"-like structure
consisting of a spherical core plus a prolate halo in Ne, in which the
resonant continuum plays an essential role. Generally the halo probability and
the decoupling effect in heavy nuclei are reduced compared to light nuclei, due
to denser level densities around Fermi surfaces. However, deformed halos in
medium-mass nuclei are possible with sparse levels of negative parity, for
example, in Ge. The surface deformations of pairing density
distributions are also influenced by the decoupling effect and are sensitive to
the effective pairing Hamiltonian.Comment: 5 pages and 5 figure
Quantum Doubles from a Class of Noncocommutative Weak Hopf Algebras
The concept of biperfect (noncocommutative) weak Hopf algebras is introduced
and their properties are discussed. A new type of quasi-bicrossed products are
constructed by means of weak Hopf skew-pairs of the weak Hopf algebras which
are generalizations of the Hopf pairs introduced by Takeuchi. As a special
case, the quantum double of a finite dimensional biperfect (noncocommutative)
weak Hopf algebra is built. Examples of quantum doubles from a Clifford monoid
as well as a noncommutative and noncocommutative weak Hopf algebra are given,
generalizing quantum doubles from a group and a noncommutative and
noncocommutative Hopf algebra, respectively. Moreover, some characterisations
of quantum doubles of finite dimensional biperfect weak Hopf algebras are
obtained.Comment: LaTex 18 pages, to appear in J. Math. Phys. (To compile, need

Punch-through jets in collisions at RHIC/LHC
High single and dihadron production is studied within a NLO pQCD parton
model with jet quenching in high energy collisions at the RHIC/LHC
energy. A simultaneous -fit to both single and dihadron spectra can be
achieved within a narrow range of energy loss parameter. Punch-through jets are
found to result in the dihadron suppression factor slightly more sensitive to
medium than the single hadron suppression factor at RHIC. Such jets at LHC are
found to dominate high dihadron production and the resulting dihadron
spectra are more sensitive to the initial parton distribution functions than
the single hadron spectra.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, proceedings for the 20th international conference

SU(4) Theory for Spin Systems with Orbital Degeneracy
The isotropic limit of spin systems with orbital degeneracy is shown to have
global SU(4) symmetry. On many 2D lattices, the ground state does not posses
long range order, which may explain the observed spin liquid properties of
. In the SU(4) Neel ordered state, spin-spin correlations can be
antiferromagneitc between two neighboring sites with parallel magnetic moments.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures. submitted to PR
Mott scattering at the interface between a metal and a topological insulator
We compute the spin-active scattering matrix and the local spectrum at the
interface between a metal and a three-dimensional topological band insulator.
We show that there exists a critical incident angle at which complete (100%)
spin flip reflection occurs and the spin rotation angle jumps by . We
discuss the origin of this phenomena, and systematically study the dependence
of spin-flip and spin-conserving scattering amplitudes on the interface
transparency and metal Fermi surface parameters. The interface spectrum
contains a well-defined Dirac cone in the tunneling limit, and smoothly evolves
into a continuum of metal induced gap states for good contacts. We also
investigate the complex band structure of BiSe.Comment: published versio
