Low-lying even parity meson resonances and spin-flavor symmetry
A study is presented of the wave meson-meson interactions involving
members of the nonet and of the octet. The starting point is an
SU(6) spin-flavor extension of the SU(3) flavor Weinberg-Tomozawa Lagrangian.
SU(6) symmetry breaking terms are then included to account for the physical
meson masses and decay constants, while preserving partial conservation of the
axial current in the light pseudoscalar sector. Next, the matrix amplitudes
are obtained by solving the Bethe Salpeter equation in coupled-channel with the
kernel built from the above interactions. The poles found on the first and
second Riemann sheets of the amplitudes are identified with their possible
Particle Data Group (PDG) counterparts. It is shown that most of the low-lying
even parity PDG meson resonances, specially in the and sectors,
can be classified according to multiplets of the spin-flavor symmetry group
SU(6). The , and some resonances cannot be
accommodated within this SU(6) scheme and thus they would be clear candidates
to be glueballs or hybrids. Finally, we predict the existence of five exotic
resonances ( and/or ) with masses in the range 1.4--1.6 GeV,
which would complete the , , and multiplets of
SU(3)SU(2).Comment: 43 pages, 2 figures, 61 tables. Improved discussion of Section II. To

STRUCTURES, PROPERTIES AND FUNCTIONALITIES OF MAGNETIC DOMAIN WALLS IN THIN FILMS, NANOWIRES AND ATOMIC CHAINS: MICROMAGNETIC AND AB INITIO STUDIES
Structures, properties and functionalities of magnetic domain walls in thin film, nanowires and atomic chains are studied by micromagnetic simulations and ab initio calculations in this dissertation. For magnetic domain walls in thin films, we computationally investigated the dynamics of one-dimensional domain wall line in ultrathin ferromagnetic film, and the exponent α = 1.24 ± 0.05 is obtained in the creep regime near depinning force, indicating the washboard potential model is supported by our simulations. Furthermore, the roughness, creep, depinning and flow of domain wall line with commonly existed substructures driven by magnetic field are also studied. Our simulation results demonstrate that substructures will decrease the roughness exponent ζ, increase the critical depinning force, and reduce the effective creep energy barrier. Current induced domain-wall substructure motion is also studied, which is found quite different from current induced domain wall motion.
For magnetic domain walls in nanowires, field and current induced domain wall motion is studied, and some relevant spintronic devices are proposed based on micromagnetic simulations. Novel nanometer transverse-domain-wall-based logic elements, 360° domain wall generator and shift register are proposed. When spinpolarized current is applied, the critical current for domain wall depinning can be substantially reduced and conveniently tuned by controlling domain wall number in the pile-up at pinning site, in analogy to dislocation pile-up responsible for Hall-Petch effect in mechanical strength. Furthermore, threshold currents for domain wall depinning and transportation through circular geometry in planar nanowire induced by spin transfer torques and spin-orbit torques are theoretically calculated. In addition, magnetic vortex racetrack memory which combines both conceptions of magnetic vortex domain walls and racetrack is also proposed using micromagnetic simulations.
For magnetic domain walls in Ni atomic chains, a truly magnetic domain wall structure and the single domain switching process are investigated by both ab initio studies and spin dynamics simulations. Spin moment softening effect caused by the hybridization effect between two spin channels is considered. The atomic domain wall as narrow as 4 atom-distance with slight spin moment softening effect indicates a relatively evident ballistic magnetoresistance effect, and the large EB indicates the strong stability of single domain state
Study of Long Distance Contributions to
We calculate long distance contributions to $K\to\pi\nu\bar{\nu}\,,\
\pi\pi\nu\bar{\nu}\pi\pi\pi\nu\bar{\nu}K\to \pi\nu\bar{\nu}K\to \pi\pi\nu\bar{\nu}$ in the chiral logarithmic
approximation are at least seven orders of magnitude suppressed relative to
those from the short distance parts. The long distance effects in this class of
decays are therefore negligible.Comment: 13 pages, LaTeX fil

Atomic and nano-scale characterization of a 50-year-old hydrated C3S paste
This paper investigates the atomic and nano-scale structures of a 50-year-old hydrated alite paste. Imaged by TEM, the outer product C-S-H fibers are composed of particles that are 1.5-2 nm thick and several tens of nanometers long. 29Si NMR shows 47.9% Q1 and 52.1% Q2, with a mean SiO4 tetrahedron chain length (MCL) of 4.18, indicating a limited degree of polymerization after 50 years' hydration. A Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM) study was conducted on this late-age paste and a 1.5 year old hydrated C3S solution. Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (NEXAFS) at Ca L3,2-edge indicates that Ca2 + in C-S-H is in an irregular symmetric coordination, which agrees more with the atomic structure of tobermorite than that of jennite. At Si K-edge, multi-scattering phenomenon is sensitive to the degree of polymerization, which has the potential to unveil the structure of the SiO44 - tetrahedron chain
