Incompressible Even Denominator Fractional Quantum Hall States in the Zeroth Landau Level of Monolayer Graphene

Incompressible even denominator fractional quantum Hall states at fillings $\nu = \pm \frac{1}{2}$ and $\nu = \pm \frac{1}{4}$ have been recently observed in monolayer graphene. We use a Chern-Simons description of multi-component fractional quantum Hall states in graphene to investigate the properties of these states and suggest variational wavefunctions that may describe them. We find that the experimentally observed even denominator fractions and standard odd fractions (such as $\nu=1/3, 2/5$, etc.) can be accommodated within the same flux attachment scheme and argue that they may arise from sublattice or chiral symmetry breaking orders (such as charge-density-wave and antiferromagnetism) of composite Dirac fermions, a phenomenon unifying integer and fractional quantum Hall physics for relativistic fermions. We also discuss possible experimental probes that can narrow down the candidate broken symmetry phases for the fractional quantum Hall states in the zeroth Landau level of monolayer graphene.Comment: 5 page

Local Cloning of Entangled Qubits

We discuss the exact cloning of orthogonal but entangled qubits under local operations and classical communication. The amount of entanglement necessary in blank copy is obtained for various cases. Surprisingly this amount is more than 1 ebit for certain set of two nonmaximal but equally entangled states of two qubits system. To clone any three two qubits Bell states at least log2 3 ebit is necessary.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figure

Barbier reaction in the regime of metal oxide: the first example of carbonyl allylation mediated by tetragonal tin(II) oxide

Facile synthesis of homoallylic alcohols is achieved from allyl halides and aldehydes or ketones over an all-oxide heterogenous media involving β-SnO and catalytic Cu2O

A MARKOV CHAIN ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURAL CHANGES IN THE TEXAS HIGH PLAINS COTTON GINNING INDUSTRY

Markov chain analysis of changes in the number and size of cotton gin firms in West Texas was conducted assuming stationary and non-stationary transition probabilities. Projections of industry structure were made to 1999 with stationary probability assumptions and six sets of assumed conditions for labor and energy costs and technological change in the non-stationary transition model. Results indicate a continued decline in number of firms, but labor, energy, and technology conditions alter the configuration of the structural changes.Crop Production/Industries,

Ir/Sn dual-reagent catalysis towards highly selective alkylation of arenes and heteroarenes with benzyl alcohols

A catalytic combination of [Ir(COD)Cl]2SnCl4 efficiently promotes the reactions of arenes and heteroarenes with 1°/2°/3° benzyl alcohols as the alkylating agents to afford the corresponding diarylmethane and triarylmethane derivatives in high yields. The scope and limitation of the reaction with respect to catalyst and substrates variation has been studied in detail
