Semiclassical Corrections to the Cardy-Verlinde Formula of Kerr Black Holes
In this letter, we compute the corrections to the Cardy-Verlinde formula of
dimensional Kerr black hole. These corrections are considered within the
context of KKW analysis and arise as a result of the self-gravitational effect.
Then we show, one can taking into account the semiclassical corrections of the
Cardy-Verlinde entropy formula by just redefining the Virasoro operator
and the central charge .Comment: 8 page
Raman Scattering Study of the Lattice Dynamics of Superconducting LiFeAs
We report an investigation of the lattice dynamical properties of LiFeAs
using inelastic light scattering. Five out of the six expected phonon modes are
observed. The temperature evolution of their frequencies and linewidths is in
good agreement with an anharmonic-decay model. We find no evidence for
substantial electron-phonon coupling, and no superconductivity-induced phonon
anomalies.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, 1 tabl
Homotopy Structure of 5d Vacua
It is shown that flat zero-energy solutions (vacua) of the 5d Kaluza-Klein
theory admit a non-trivial homotopy structure generated by certain Kaluza-Klein
excitations. These vacua consist of an infinite set of homotopically different
spacetimes denoted by , among which
and are especially identified as and
, the ground states of the 5d Kaluza-Klein theory and the 5d general
relativity, respectively (where represents the -dimensional Minkowski
space).Comment: 8 page
Electronic structures of doped anatase : (M=Co, Mn, Fe, Ni)
We have investigated electronic structures of a room temperature diluted
magnetic semiconductor : Co-doped anatase . We have obtained the
half-metallic ground state in the local-spin-density approximation(LSDA) but
the insulating ground state in the LSDA++SO incorporating the spin-orbit
interaction. In the stoichiometric case, the low spin state of Co is realized
with the substantially large orbital moment. However, in the presence of oxygen
vacancies near Co, the spin state of Co becomes intermediate. The
ferromagnetisms in the metallic and insulating phases are accounted for by the
double-exchange-like and the superexchange mechanism, respectively. Further,
the magnetic ground states are obtained for Mn and Fe doped ,
while the paramagnetic ground state for Ni-doped .Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Area spectra of the rotating BTZ black hole from quasinormal modes
Following Bekenstein's suggestion that the horizon area of a black hole
should be quantized, the discrete spectrum of the horizon area has been
investigated in various ways. By considering the quasinormal mode of a black
hole, we obtain the transition frequency of the black hole, analogous to the
case of a hydrogen atom, in the semiclassical limit. According to Bohr's
correspondence principle, this transition frequency at large quantum number is
equal to classical oscillation frequency. For the corresponding classical
system of periodic motion with this oscillation frequency, an action variable
is identified and quantized via Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization, from which the
quantized spectrum of the horizon area is obtained. This method can be applied
for black holes with discrete quasinormal modes. As an example, we apply the
method for the both non-rotating and rotating BTZ black holes and obtain that
the spectrum of the horizon area is equally spaced and independent of the
cosmological constant for both cases
Pressure dependence of the optical properties of the charge-density-wave compound LaTe
We report the pressure dependence of the optical response of LaTe, which
is deep in the charge-density-wave (CDW) ground state even at 300 K. The
reflectivity spectrum is collected in the mid-infrared spectral range at room
temperature and at pressures between 0 and 7 GPa. We extract the energy scale
due to the single particle excitation across the CDW gap and the Drude weight.
We establish that the gap decreases upon compressing the lattice, while the
Drude weight increases. This signals a reduction in the quality of nesting upon
applying pressure, therefore inducing a lesser impact of the CDW condensate on
the electronic properties of LaTe. The consequent suppression of the CDW
gap leads to a release of additional charge carriers, manifested by the shift
of weight from the gap feature into the metallic component of the optical
response. On the contrary, the power-law behavior, seen in the optical
conductivity at energies above the gap excitation and indicating a weakly
interacting limit within the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid scenario, seems to be
only moderately dependent on pressure
