Amplification of nonlinear currents generation at harmonics frequencies of submillimeter radiation
2006
The conditions are found when rapid heating of the electrons of a degenerate semiconductor in the presence of two electric fields, one constant and the other variable, is accompanied by the formation of a distribution function significantly departing from the Fermi one. It is also shown that the newly found modification of the electron distribution yields a relative amplification of nonlinear currents generation.
Double Copies of Fermions as Matter that Interacts Only Gravitationally
2016
Inspired by the recent progress in the field of scattering amplitudes, we discuss hypothetical particles which can be characterized as the double copies of fermions-in the same way gravitons can be viewed as double copies of gauge bosons. As the gravitons, these hypothetical particles interact only through gravitational interactions. We present two equivalent methods for the computation of the relevant scattering amplitudes. The hypothetical particles can be massive and nonrelativistic.
Search for ResonantWWandWZProduction inpp¯Collisions ats=1.96 TeV
2011
We search for resonant WW or WZ production using up to 5.4 fb-1 of integrated luminosity collected by the D0 experiment in Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The data are consistent with the standard model background expectation, and we set limits on a resonance mass using the sequential standard model (SSM) W' boson and the Randall-Sundrum model graviton G as benchmarks. We exclude an SSM W' boson in the mass range 180 - 690 GeV and a Randall-Sundrum graviton in the range 300 - 754 GeV at 95% CL.
Search for Randall-Sundrum Gravitons in the Dielectron and Diphoton Final States with5.4 fb−1of Data frompp¯Collisions ats=1.96 TeV
2010
Using 5.4 fb-1 of integrated luminosity from ppbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider, we search for decays of the lightest Kaluza-Klein mode of the graviton in the Randall-Sundrum model to ee and gammagamma. We set 95% C.L. lower limits on the mass of the lightest graviton between 560 GeV and 1050 GeV for values of the coupling k/Mbar_pl between 0.01 and 0.1.
Electron-gas clusters: the ultimate jellium model
1995
The local spin-density approximation is used to calculate ground- and isomeric-state geometries of jellium clusters with 2 to 22 electrons. The positive background charge of the model is completely deformable, both in shape and in density. The model has no input parameters. The resulting shapes of the clusters exhibit breaking of axial and inversion symmetries; in general the shapes are far from ellipsoidal. Those clusters which lack inversion symmetry are extremely soft against odd-multipole deformations. Some clusters can be interpreted as molecules built from magic clusters. The deformation produces a gap at the Fermi level. This results in a regular odd-even staggering of the total ener…
Electronic momentum distribution in the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model: determinantal Monte Carlo study
2002
Abstract The effect of electron–electron (e–e) interaction on trans -polyacetylene ( t -PA) properties is investigated within the framework of an extended Hubbard model in one dimension. For numerical calculation, we use the determinantal version of quantum Monte Carlo approach, which provides a breakthrough to simulate statistical fluctuations in the systems with many degrees of freedom, in order to obtain mean values for observables of physical interest. This allows one to analyze the discrete system of fermions without encountering the numerical instabilities that generally occur from the original problem involving anticommuting fermion operators. We calculate the electronic momentum dis…
Recoil Polarization and Beam-Recoil Double Polarization Measurement ofηElectroproduction on the Proton in the Region of theS11(1535)Resonance
2007
The beam-recoil double polarization P{sub x{sup '}}{sup h} and P{sub z{sup '}}{sup h} and the recoil polarization P{sub y{sup '}} were measured for the first time for the p(e-vector,e{sup '}p-vector){eta} reaction at a four-momentum transfer of Q{sup 2}=0.1 GeV{sup 2}/c{sup 2} and a center of mass production angle of {theta}=120 deg. at the Mainz Microtron MAMI-C. With a center of mass energy range of 1500 MeV<W<1550 MeV the region of the S{sub 11}(1535) and D{sub 13}(1520) resonance was covered. The results are discussed in the framework of a phenomenological isobar model (Eta-MAID). While P{sub x{sup '}}{sup h} and P{sub z{sup '}}{sup h} are in good agreement with the model, P{sub y{sup '…
Comments on "Neutron-proton mass difference in the chiral solitonic bag model"
1990
It is pointed out that the topological soliton bag is incompletely quantized in the papers of Durgut, Pak, and Yilmaz and of Wittman and Woloshyn, leading to results on the neutron-proton mass difference and other phenomena that are not implied by the model. The purpose of this paper is to clarify how and where their scheme goes wrong and to propose an alternative consistent scheme of quantization.
Macroscopic conductivity of free fermions in disordered media
2014
We conclude our analysis of the linear response of charge transport in lattice systems of free fermions subjected to a random potential by deriving general mathematical properties of its conductivity at the macroscopic scale. The present paper belongs to a succession of studies on Ohm and Joule's laws from a thermodynamic viewpoint. We show, in particular, the existence and finiteness of the conductivity measure $\mu _{\mathbf{\Sigma }}$ for macroscopic scales. Then we prove that, similar to the conductivity measure associated to Drude's model, $\mu _{\mathbf{\Sigma }}$ converges in the weak$^{\ast } $-topology to the trivial measure in the case of perfect insulators (strong disorder, compl…
Spectrum of the non-abelian phase in Kitaev's honeycomb lattice model
2008
The spectral properties of Kitaev's honeycomb lattice model are investigated both analytically and numerically with the focus on the non-abelian phase of the model. After summarizing the fermionization technique which maps spins into free Majorana fermions, we evaluate the spectrum of sparse vortex configurations and derive the interaction between two vortices as a function of their separation. We consider the effect vortices can have on the fermionic spectrum as well as on the phase transition between the abelian and non-abelian phases. We explicitly demonstrate the $2^n$-fold ground state degeneracy in the presence of $2n$ well separated vortices and the lifting of the degeneracy due to t…
