Spinon signatures in the critical phase of the (1,1/2) ferrimagnet in a magnetic field

A. K. Kolezhuk, H. -J. Mikeska, K. Maisinger +1

We propose an effective theory for the critical phase of a quantum ferrimagnetic chain with alternating spins 1 and 1/2 in an external magnetic field. With the help of the matrix p…

Compact support of spherically symmetric equilibria in non-relativistic and relativistic galactic dynamics

Gerhard Rein, Alan D. Rendall

Equilibrium states in galactic dynamics can be described as stationary solutions of the Vlasov-Poisson system, which is the non-relativistic case, or of the Vlasov-Einstein system,…

An Atom Laser with a cw Output Coupler

Immanuel Bloch, Theodor W. Haensch, Tilman Esslinger

We demonstrate a continuous output coupler for magnetically trapped atoms. Over a period of up to 100 ms a collimated and monoenergetic beam of atoms is continuously extracted from…

A Measurement of the tau->electron Branching Ratio

The OPAL Collaboration, G. Abbiendi et al

The branching ratio for the decay tau->e nue nutau has been measured using Z0 decay data collected by the OPAL experiment at LEP. In total 33073 tau->e nue nutau candidates were id…

Embedded surfaces and almost complex structures

Christian Bohr

We prove necessary and sufficient conditions for a smooth surface in a 4-manifold X to be pseudoholomorphic with respect to some almost complex structure on X. This provides a syst…

On the relation between lifting obstructions and ordinary obstructions

Christian Bohr

We consider partial liftings of maps at fibrations and compare the primary obstruction to extend the lifting with the obstruction to extend the lifting as a simple map into the tot…

Nano-ploughed Josephson Junctions as on-chip Radiation Sources

B. Irmer, F. Simmel, R. H. Blick +4

A new technique is presented which enables the fabrication of highly transparent Josephson junctions in combination with mesoscopic devices. We utilize a modified AFM tip to plough…

Anomalous couplings for D-branes and O-planes

Jose F. Morales, Claudio A. Scrucca, Marco Serone

We study anomalous Wess-Zumino couplings of D-branes and O-planes in a general background and derive them from a direct string computation by factorizing in the RR channel various…

Spin dependent D-brane interactions and scattering amplitudes in matrix theory

J. F. Morales, J. C. Plefka, C. A. Scrucca +2

Spin interactions beteween two moving Dp-branes are analyzed using the Green-Schwarz formalism of boundary states. This approach turns out to be extremely efficient to compute all…

Anomalous Kondo-effect in Quantum Dot at non-zero bias

F. Simmel, R. H. Blick, J. P. Kotthaus +2

We present measurements on the Kondo-effect in a small quantum dot connected strongly to one lead and weakly to the other. The conductance of the dot reveals an offset of the Kondo…

Compatibility of neutron star masses and hyperon coupling constants

H. Huber, M. K. Weigel, F. Weber

It is shown that the modern equations of state for neutron star matter based on microscopic calculations of symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter are compatible with the lower bo…

Non-holomorphic effective potential in N = 4 SU(n) SYM

E. I. Buchbinder, I. L. Buchbinder, S. M. Kuzenko

We compute the one-loop non-holomorphic effective potential for the N=4 SU(n) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with the gauge symmetry broken down to the maximal torus. Our approac…

The geometry of second-order statistics - biases in common estimators

Martin Kerscher

Second-order measures, such as the two-point correlation function, are geometrical quantities describing the clustering properties of a point distribution. In this article well-kno…

Decay of the Two-Point Function in One-Dimensional O(N) Spin Models with Long Range Interactions

Herbert Spohn, Wilhelm Zwerger

Using Griffiths and Lieb-Simon type inequalities, it is shown that the two-point function of ferromagnetic spin models with N components in one dimension decays like the interactio…

Quantum noise and correlations in resonantly enhanced wave mixing based on atomic coherence

M. D. Lukin, A. B. Matsko, M. Fleischhauer +1

We investigate the quantum properties of fields generated by resonantly enhanced wave mixing based on atomic coherence in Raman systems. We show that such a process can be used for…

Optical pumping in dense atomic media: Limitations due to reabsorption of spontaneously emitted photons

Michael Fleischhauer

Resonant optical pumping in dense atomic media is discussed, where the absorption length is less than the smallest characteristic dimension of the sample. It is shown that reabsorp…

Coherent population transfer beyond the adiabatic limit: generalized matched pulses and higher-order trapping states

M. Fleischhauer, R. Unanyan, B. W. Shore +1

We show that the physical mechanism of population transfer in a 3-level system with a closed loop of coherent couplings (loop-STIRAP) is not equivalent to an adiabatic rotation of…
