Scattering in Noncommutative Quantum Mechanics
We derive the correction due to noncommutativity of space on Born
approximation, then the correction for the case of Yukawa potential is
explicitly calculated. The correction depends on the angle of scattering. Using
partial wave method it is shown that the conservation of the number of
particles in elastic scattering is also valid in noncommutative spaces which
means that the unitarity relation is held in noncommutative spaces. We also
show that the noncommutativity of space has no effect on the optical theorem.
Finally we study Gaussian function potential in noncommutative spaces which
generates delta function potential as .Comment: 7 Pages, no figure, accepted for publication in Modern Physics

Electronic States and Magnetism of Mn Impurities and Dimers in Narrow-Gap and Wide-Gap III-V Semiconductors
Electronic states and magnetic properties of single impurity and dimer
doped in narrow-gap and wide-gap - semiconductors have been studied
systematically. It has been found that in the ground state for single
impurity, - complex is antiferromagnetic (AFM) coupling when -
hybridization is large and both the hole level and the
impurity level are close to the midgap; or very weak ferromagnetic (FM)
when is small and both and are deep in the valence band.
In dimer situation, the spins are AFM coupling for half-filled or
full-filled orbits; on the contrast, the Mn spins are double-exchange-like
FM coupling for any -orbits away from half-filling. We propose the strong
{\it p-d} hybridized double exchange mechanism is responsible for the FM order
in diluted - semiconductors
Nominally forbidden transitions in the interband optical spectrum of quantum dots
We calculate the excitonic optical absorption spectra of (In,Ga)As/GaAs
self-assembled quantum dots by adopting an atomistic pseudopotential approach
to the single-particle problem followed by a configuration-interaction approach
to the many-body problem. We find three types of allowed transitions that would
be naively expected to be forbidden. (i) Transitions that are parity forbidden
in simple effective mass models with infinite confining wells (e.g. 1S-2S,
1P-2P) but are possible by finite band-offsets and orbital-mixing effects; (ii)
light-hole--to--conduction transitions, enabled by the confinement of
light-hole states; and (iii) transitions that show and enhanced intensity due
to electron-hole configuration mixing with allowed transitions. We compare
these predictions with results of 8-band k.p calculations as well as recent
spectroscopic data. Transitions in (i) and (ii) explain recently observed
satellites of the allowed P-P transitions.Comment: Version published in Phys. Rev.
Isometries in anti-de Sitter and Conformal Superspaces
We derive explicit forms for the superisometries of a wide class of
supercoset manifolds, including those with fermionic generators in the
stability group. We apply the results to construct the action of SU(2,2|4) on
three supercoset manifolds: (10|32)-dimensional AdS_5 x S^5 superspace,
(4|16)-dimensional conformal superspace, and a novel (10|16)-dimensional
conformal superspace. Using superembedding techniques, we show, to lowest
non-trivial order in the fermions, that at the boundary of AdS_5, the
superisometries of the AdS_5 x S^5$ superspace reduce to the standard N=4
superconformal transformations. In particular, half of the 32 fermionic
coordinates decouple from the superisometries.Comment: 19 pages, LaTe
Heisenberg quantization for the systems of identical particles and the Pauli exclusion principle in noncommutative spaces
We study the Heisenberg quantization for the systems of identical particles
in noncommtative spaces. We get fermions and bosons as a special cases of our
argument, in the same way as commutative case and therefore we conclude that
the Pauli exclusion principle is also valid in noncommutative spaces.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figur
Berry's phase in noncommutative spaces
We introduce the perturbative aspects of noncommutative quantum mechanics.
Then we study the Berry's phase in the framework of noncommutative quantum
mechanics. The results show deviations from the usual quantum mechanics which
depend on the parameter of space/space noncommtativity.Comment: 7 pages, no figur

Field-induced water electrolysis switches an oxide semiconductor from an insulator to a metal
Here we demonstrate that water-infiltrated nanoporous glass electrically
switches an oxide semiconductor from an insulator to metal. We fabricated the
field effect transistor structure on an oxide semiconductor, SrTiO3, using
100%-water-infiltrated nanoporous glass - amorphous 12CaO*7Al2O3 - as the gate
insulator. For positive gate voltage, electron accumulation, water electrolysis
and electrochemical reduction occur successively on the SrTiO3 surface at room
temperature, leading to the formation of a thin (~3 nm) metal layer with an
extremely high electron concentration of 10^15-10^16 cm^-2, which exhibits
exotic thermoelectric behaviour.Comment: 21 pages, 12 figure
A Novel 2D Folding Technique for Enhancing Fermi Surface Signatures in the Momentum Density: Application to Compton Scattering Data from an Al-3at%Li Disordered Alloy
We present a novel technique for enhancing Fermi surface (FS) signatures in
the 2D distribution obtained after the 3D momentum density in a crystal is
projected along a specific direction in momentum space. These results are
useful for investigating fermiology via high resolution Compton scattering and
positron annihilation spectroscopies. We focus on the particular case of the
(110) projection in an fcc crystal where the standard approach based on the use
of the Lock-Crisp-West (LCW) folding theorem fails to give a clear FS image due
to the strong overlap with FS images obtained through projection from higher
Brillouin zones. We show how these superposed FS images can be disentangled by
using a selected set of reciprocal lattice vectors in the folding process. The
applicability of our partial folding scheme is illustrated by considering
Compton spectra from an Al-3at%Li disordered alloy single crystal. For this
purpose, high resolution Compton profiles along nine directions in the (110)
plane were measured. Corresponding highly accurate theoretical profiles in
Al-3at%Li were computed within the local density approximation (LDA)-based
Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker coherent potential approximation (KKR-CPA)
first-principles framework. A good level of overall accord between theory and
experiment is obtained, some expected discrepancies reflecting electron
correlation effects notwithstanding, and the partial folding scheme is shown to
yield a clear FS image in the (110) plane in Al-3%Li.Comment: 24 pages, 8 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev.
High real-space resolution measurement of the local structure of Ga_1-xIn_xAs using x-ray diffraction
High real-space resolution atomic pair distribution functions (PDF)s from the
alloy series Ga_1-xIn_xAs have been obtained using high-energy x-ray
diffraction. The first peak in the PDF is resolved as a doublet due to the
presence of two nearest neighbor bond lengths, Ga-As and In-As, as previously
observed using XAFS. The widths of nearest, and higher, neighbor pairs are
analyzed by separating the strain broadening from the thermal motion. The
strain broadening is five times larger for distant atomic neighbors as compared
to nearest neighbors. The results are in agreement with model calculations.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
