Magnetoresistance Oscillations in Two-dimensional Electron Systems Induced by AC and DC Fields
We report on magnetotransport measurements in a high-mobility two-dimentional
electron system subject simultaneously to AC (microwave) and DC (Hall) fields.
We find that DC excitation affects microwave photoresistance in a nontrivial
way. Photoresistance maxima (minima) evolve into minima (maxima) and back,
reflecting strong coupling and interplay of AC- and DC-induced effects. Most of
our observations can be explained in terms of indirect electron transitions
using a new, ``combined'' resonant condition. Observed quenching of
microwave-induced zero resistance by a DC field cannot be unambiguously linked
to a domain model, at least until a systematic theory treating both excitation
types within a single framework is developed
Effective nucleon-nucleon interactions and nuclear matter equation of state
Nuclear matter equations of state based on Skyrme, Myers-Swiatecki and
Tondeur interactions are written as polynomials of the cubic root of density,
with coefficients that are functions of the relative neutron excess .
In the extrapolation toward states far away from the standard one, it is shown
that the asymmetry dependence of the critical point ()
depends on the model used. However, when the equations of state are fitted to
the same standard state, the value of is almost the same in Skyrme
and in Myers-Swiatecki interactions, while is much lower in Tondeur
interaction. Furthermore, does not depend sensitively on the choice
of the parameter in Skyrme interaction.Comment: 15 pages, 9 figure
Delocalization of Wannier-Stark ladders by phonons: tunneling and stretched polarons
We study the coherent dynamics of a Holstein polaron in strong electric
fields. A detailed analytical and numerical analysis shows that even for small
hopping constant and weak electron-phonon interaction, polaron states can
become delocalized if a resonance condition develops between the original
Wannier-Stark states and the phonon modes, yielding both tunneling and
`stretched' polarons. The unusual stretched polarons are characterized by a
phonon cloud that {\em trails} the electron, instead of accompanying it. In
general, our novel approach allows us to show that the polaron spectrum has a
complex nearly-fractal structure, due to the coherent coupling between states
in the Cayley tree which describes the relevant Hilbert space. The eigenstates
of a finite ladder are analyzed in terms of the observable tunneling and
optical properties of the system.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure
Nuclear matter properties and relativistic mean-field theory
Nuclear matter properties are calculated in the relativistic mean field
theory by using a number of different parameter sets. The result shows that the
volume energy and the symmetry energy are around the acceptable
values 16MeV and 30MeV respectively; the incompressibility is
unacceptably high in the linear model, but assumes reasonable value if
nonlinear terms are included; the density symmetry is around for
most parameter sets, and the symmetry incompressibility has positive sign
which is opposite to expectations based on the nonrelativistic model. In almost
all parameter sets there exists a critical point , where
the minimum and the maximum of the equation of state are coincident and the
incompressibility equals zero, falling into ranges
0.014fmfm and ; for a few
parameter sets there is no critical point and the pure neutron matter is
predicted to be bound. The maximum mass of neutron stars is predicted
in the range 2.45MM, the corresponding
neutron star radius is in the range 12.2kmkm.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figure
Resonant Phonon Scattering in Quantum Hall Systems Driven by dc Electric Fields
Using dc excitation to spatially tilt Landau levels, we study resonant
acoustic phonon scattering in two-dimensional electron systems. We observe that
dc electric field strongly modifies phonon resonances, transforming resistance
maxima into minima and back into maxima. Further, phonon resonances are
enhanced dramatically in the non-linear dc response and can be detected even at
low temperatures. Most of our observations can be explained in terms of
dc-induced (de)tuning of the resonant acoustic phonon scattering and its
interplay with intra-Landau level impurity scattering. Finally, we observe a
dc-induced zero-differential resistance state and a resistance maximum which
occurs when the electron drift velocity approaches the speed of sound.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev. Let
Symmetry breaking as the origin of zero-differential resistance states of a 2DEG in strong magnetic fields
Zero resistance differential states have been observed in two-dimensional
electron gases (2DEG) subject to a magnetic field and a strong dc current. In a
recent work we presented a model to describe the nonlinear transport regime of
this phenomenon. From the analysis of the differential resistivity and the
longitudinal voltage we predicted the formation of negative differential
resistivity states, although these states are known to be unstable. Based on
our model, we derive an analytical approximated expression for the
Voltage-Current characteristics, that captures the main elements of the
problem. The result allow us to construct an energy functional for the system.
In the zero temperature limit, the system presents a quantum phase transition,
with the control parameter given by the magnetic field. It is noted that above
a threshold value (), the symmetry is spontaneously broken. At
sufficiently high magnetic field and low temperature the model predicts a phase
with a non-vanishing permanent current; this is a novel phase that has not been
observed so far.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figure
Rotation intrinsic spin coupling--the parallelism description
For the Dirac particle in the rotational system, the rotation induced inertia
effect is analogously treated as the modification of the "spin connection" on
the Dirac equation in the flat spacetime, which is determined by the equivalent
tetrad. From the point of view of parallelism description of spacetime, the
obtained torsion axial-vector is just the rotational angular velocity, which is
included in the "spin connection". Furthermore the axial-vector spin coupling
induced spin precession is just the rotation-spin(1/2) interaction predicted by
Mashhoon. Our derivation treatment is straightforward and simplified in the
geometrical meaning and physical conception, however the obtained conclusions
are consistent with that of the other previous work.Comment: 10 pages, no figur
Quantum Mechanics of Dynamical Zero Mode in on the Light-Cone
Motivated by the work of Kalloniatis, Pauli and Pinsky, we consider the
theory of light-cone quantized on a spatial circle with periodic
and anti-periodic boundary conditions on the gluon and quark fields
respectively. This approach is based on Discretized Light-Cone Quantization
(DLCQ). We investigate the canonical structures of the theory. We show that the
traditional light-cone gauge is not available and the zero mode (ZM)
is a dynamical field, which might contribute to the vacuum structure
nontrivially. We construct the full ground state of the system and obtain the
Schr\"{o}dinger equation for ZM in a certain approximation. The results
obtained here are compared to those of Kalloniatis et al. in a specific
coupling region.Comment: 19 pages, LaTeX file, no figure
