Neutrino emissivities and bulk viscosity in neutral two-flavor quark matter
We study thermodynamic and transport properties for the isotropic
color-spin-locking (iso-CSL) phase of two-flavor superconducting quark matter
under compact star constraints within a NJL-type chiral quark model. Chiral
symmetry breaking and the phase transition to superconducting quark matter
leads to a density dependent change of quark masses, chemical potentials and
diquark gap. A self-consistent treatment of these physical quantities
influences on the microscopic calculations of transport properties. We present
results for the iso-CSL direct URCA emissivities and bulk viscosities, which
fulfill the constraints on quark matter derived from cooling and rotational
evolution of compact stars. We compare our results with the phenomenologically
successful, but yet heuristic 2SC+X phase. We show that the microscopically
founded iso-CSL phase can replace the purely phenomenological 2SC+X phase in
modern simulations of the cooling evolution for compact stars with color
superconducting quark matter interior.Comment: 15 pages, 6 figures, references added, text improve
Electric field effect modulation of transition temperature, mobile carrier density and in-plane penetration depth in NdBa2Cu3O(7-delta) thin films
We explore the relationship between the critical temperature, T_c, the mobile
areal carrier density, n_2D, and the zero temperature magnetic in-plane
penetration depth, lambda_ab(0), in very thin underdoped NdBa2Cu3O{7-delta}
films near the superconductor to insulator transition using the electric field
effect technique. We observe that T_c depends linearly on both, n_2D and
lambda_ab(0), the signature of a quantum superconductor to insulator (QSI)
transition in two dimensions with znu-bar where z is the dynamic and nu-bar the
critical exponent of the in-plane correlation length.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

Equilibrium Configurations of Homogeneous Fluids in General Relativity
By means of a highly accurate, multi-domain, pseudo-spectral method, we
investigate the solution space of uniformly rotating, homogeneous and
axisymmetric relativistic fluid bodies. It turns out that this space can be
divided up into classes of solutions. In this paper, we present two new classes
including relativistic core-ring and two-ring solutions. Combining our
knowledge of the first four classes with post-Newtonian results and the
Newtonian portion of the first ten classes, we present the qualitative
behaviour of the entire relativistic solution space. The Newtonian disc limit
can only be reached by going through infinitely many of the aforementioned
classes. Only once this limiting process has been consummated, can one proceed
again into the relativistic regime and arrive at the analytically known
relativistic disc of dust.Comment: 8 pages, colour figures, v3: minor additions including one reference,
