    Bright solitons in asymmetrically trapped Bose-Einstein condensate

    Full text link
    We study the dynamics of bright solitons in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) confined in a highly asymmetric trap. While working within the f ramework of a variational approach we carry out the stability analysis o f BEC solitons against collapse. When the number of atoms in the soliton exceeds a critical number NcN_c, it undergoes the so called primary col lapse. We find an analytical expression for NcN_c in terms of appropriat e experimental quantities that are used to produce and confine the conde nsate. We further demonstrate that, in the geometry of the problem consi dered, the width of the soliton varies inversely as the number of consti tuent atoms.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure

    Contrasting the magnetic response between magnetic-glass and reentrant spin-glass

    Full text link
    Magnetic-glass is a recently identified phenomenon in various classes of magnetic systems undergoing a first order magnetic phase transition. We shall highlight here a few experimentally determined characteristics of magnetic-glass and the relevant set of experiments, which will enable to distinguish a magnetic-glass unequivocally from the well known phenomena of spin-glass and reentrant spin-glass.Comment: 10 pages and 4 figures. The preprint has been amended after taking care of various typographical errors, some errors in Figs.2 and 4 and with the addition of some new references.

    Kinetic arrest of the first order ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic transition in Ce(Fe0.96_{0.96}Ru0.04_{0.04})2_2 : formation of a magnetic-glass

    Full text link
    We present results of dc magnetization and magnetic relaxation study showing the kinetic arrest of a first order ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic transition in Ce(Fe0.96_{0.96}Ru0.04_{0.04})2_2. This leads to the formation of a non-ergodic glass-like magnetic state. The onset of the magnetic-glass transformation is tracked through the slowing down of the magnetization dynamics. This glassy state is formed with the assistance of an external magnetic field and this is distinctly different from the well known 'spin-glass' state.Comment: 10 pages of text and 4 figure

    Truncated Harmonic Osillator and Parasupersymmetric Quantum Mechanics

    We discuss in detail the parasupersymmetric quantum mechanics of arbitrary order where the parasupersymmetry is between the normal bosons and those corresponding to the truncated harmonic oscillator. We show that even though the parasusy algebra is different from that of the usual parasusy quantum mechanics, still the consequences of the two are identical. We further show that the parasupersymmetric quantum mechanics of arbitrary order p can also be rewritten in terms of p supercharges (i.e. all of which obey Qi2=0Q_i^{2} = 0). However, the Hamiltonian cannot be expressed in a simple form in terms of the p supercharges except in a special case. A model of conformal parasupersymmetry is also discussed and it is shown that in this case, the p supercharges, the p conformal supercharges along with Hamiltonian H, conformal generator K and dilatation generator D form a closed algebra.Comment: 9 page
