A complete solution of a Constrained System: SUSY Monopole Quantum Mechanics
We solve the quantum mechanical problem of a charged particle on S^2 in the
background of a magnetic monopole for both bosonic and supersymmetric cases by
constructing Hilbert space and realizing the fundamental operators obeying
complicated Dirac bracket relations in terms of differential operators. We find
the complete energy eigenfunctions. Using the lowest energy eigenstates we
count the number of degeneracies and examine the supersymmetric structure of
the ground states in detail.Comment: 20 pages including the title, prepared in JHEP forma
Scarred Resonances and Steady Probability Distribution in a Chaotic Microcavity
We investigate scarred resonances of a stadium-shaped chaotic microcavity. It
is shown that two components with different chirality of the scarring pattern
are slightly rotated in opposite ways from the underlying unstable periodic
orbit, when the incident angles of the scarring pattern are close to the
critical angle for total internal reflection. In addition, the correspondence
of emission pattern with the scarring pattern disappears when the incident
angles are much larger than the critical angle. The steady probability
distribution gives a consistent explanation about these interesting phenomena
and makes it possible to expect the emission pattern in the latter case.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Higher dimensional cosmological model with a phantom field
We consider a higher dimensional gravity theory with a negative kinetic
energy scalar field and a cosmological constant. We find that the theory admits
an exact cosmological solution for the scale factor of our universe. It has the
feature that the universe undergoes a continuous transition from deceleration
to acceleration at some finite time. This transition time can be interpreted as
that of recent acceleration of our universe.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures; References adde
Enhanced performance of sulfur-infiltrated bimodal mesoporous carbon foam by chemical solution deposition as cathode materials for lithium sulfur batteries
The porous carbon matrix is widely recognized to be a promising sulfur reservoir to improve the cycle life by suppressing the polysulfide dissolution in lithium sulfur batteries (LSB). Herein, we synthesized mesocellular carbon foam (MSUF-C) with bimodal mesopore (4 and 30 nm) and large pore volume (1.72 cm 2 /g) using MSUF silica as a template and employed it as both the sulfur reservoir and the conductive agent in the sulfur cathode. Sulfur was uniformly infiltrated into MSUF-C pores by a chemical solution deposition method (MSUF-C/S CSD) and the amount of sulfur loading was achieved as high as 73% thanks to the large pore volume with the CSD approach. MSUF-C/S CSD showed a high capacity (889 mAh/g after 100 cycles at 0.2 C), an improved rate capability (879 mAh/g at 1C and 420 mAh/g at 2C), and a good capacity retention with a fade rate of 0.16% per cycle over 100 cycles.118Ysciescopu
Schr\"{o}dinger Fields on the Plane with non-Abelian Chern-Simons Interactions
Physical content of the nonrelativistic quantum field theory with non-Abelian
Chern-Simons interactions is clarified with the help of the equivalent first-
quantized description which we derive in any physical gauge.Comment: 12 pages, LaTex, SNUTP 94-1
