Minimal Supergravity Scalar Neutrino Dark Matter and Inverse Seesaw Neutrino Masses
2008
We show that within the inverse seesaw mechanism for generating neutrino masses minimal supergravity is more likely to have a sneutrino as the lightest superparticle than the conventional neutralino. We also demonstrate that such schemes naturally reconcile the small neutrino masses with the correct relic sneutrino dark matter abundance and accessible direct detection rates in nuclear recoil experiments.
Bond-based 3D-chiral linear indices: Theory and QSAR applications to central chirality codification
2008
The recently introduced non-stochastic and stochastic bond-based linear indices are been generalized to codify chemical structure information for chiral drugs, making use of a trigonometric 3D-chirality correction factor. These improved modified descriptors are applied to several well-known data sets to validate each one of them. Particularly, Cramer's steroid data set has become a benchmark for the assessment of novel quantitative structure activity relationship methods. This data set has been used by several researchers using 3D-QSAR approaches such as Comparative Molecular Field Analysis, Molecular Quantum Similarity Measures, Comparative Molecular Moment Analysis, E-state, Mapping Prope…

Flavour Separation of Helicity Distributions from Deep Inelastic Muon-Deuteron Scattering
2009
We present a LO evaluation of helicity densities of valence, \Delta u_v+\Delta d_v, non-strange sea, \Delta\bar{u}+\Delta\bar{d}, and strange quarks, \Delta s (assumed to be equal to \Delta\bar{s}). They have been obtained from the inclusive asymmetry A_{3,d} and the semi-inclusive asymmetries A^{\pi+}_{1,d}, A^{\pi-}_{1,d}, A^{K+}_{1,d}, A^{K-}_{1,d} measured in polarised deep inelastic muon-deuteron scattering. The full deuteron statistics of COMPASS (years 2002-2004 and 2006) has been used. The data cover the range Q^2 > 1 (GeV/c)^2 and 0.004<x<0.3. Both non-strange densities are found to be in a good agreement with previous measurements. The distribution of \Delta s(x) is compatible wit…
FIRST MEASUREMENT OF THE STRANGE QUARK ASYMMETRY AT THE Z(0) PEAK
1995
A measurement of the strange quark forward-backward asymmetry at the Z0 peak was performed using 718,000 multihadronic Z0 decays collected by the DELPHI detector at LEP in 1992. The s-quark was tagged by the presence of high momentum charged kaons identified by the Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector and by Λ0;s decaying into pπ-. The s-quark purity obtained was estimated for the two hadrons to be 43%. The average s-quark asymmetry was found to be 0.131±0.035 (stat.) ±0.013 (syst.). The forward-backward asymmetry was measured for unresolved d-and s-quarks, tagged by the detection of a high energy neutron or neutral kaon in the Hadron Calorimeter. The combined d-and s-quark purity was 69% and th…
Bundlet Model of Single- Wall Carbon, BC2N and BN Nanotubes, Cones and Horns in Organic Solvents
2013
Bundlet Model of Single- Wall Carbon, BC2N and BN Nanotubes, Cones and Horns in Organic Solvents The existence of Single-wall C-nanocones (SWNCs), especially nanohorns (SWNHs) and BC2N/Boron Nitride (BN) analogues is discussed in organic solvents in cluster form. A theory is developed based on the bundlet model, describing distribution function by size. The phenomena present unified explanation in the model, in which free energy of (BC2N/BN )SWNCs involved in cluster, is combined from two components: volume one proportional to the number of molecules n in cluster and surface one, to n1/2. The model enables describing distribution function of (BC2N/BN )SWNC clusters by size. From geometrical…
Impact of non-idealities on the conductance characteristics of superconductor-insulator-normal metal-insulator-superconductor tunnel junctions
2012
We have investigated the effect of asymmetry in tunnelling resistance of individual normal metal-insulator-superconductor (NIS) tunnel junctions that constitute a SINIS pair, both experimentally and theoretically. Ours results clearly demonstrate that any finite asymmetry in the tunnelling resistance gives rise to an excess current, as compared to its symmetric counterpart, both below and around the gap edge. The signature of this excess current is visible almost up to the critical temperature. We find that this apparent broadening of the density of states is purely electrical in origin. Our calculations also show that any finite resistance that is in series with the tunnelling resistance, …
A penetration depth study on the non-centrosymmetric superconductors Li2(Pd1−xPtx)3B
2008
Abstract We study the superconducting order parameter in the non-centrosymmetric compounds Li 2 (Pd 1− x Pt x ) 3 B ( x =0, 0.3, 0.7 and 1) by measuring magnetic penetration depth λ ( T ). The low temperature λ ( T ) shows a linear temperature dependence for x ⩾0.3, but follows exponential-like behavior for lower Pt contents. These findings suggest that a spin-triplet state might gradually develop with increasing x due to the broken inversion symmetry.
Superconductivity with broken time-reversal symmetry inside a superconducting s-wave state
2018
In general, magnetism and superconductivity are antagonistic to each other. However, there are several families of superconductors, in which superconductivity may coexist with magnetism, and only a few examples are known, when superconductivity itself induces spontaneous magnetism. The most known compounds are Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ and some noncentrosymmetric superconductors. Here, we report the finding of a narrow dome of a novel $s+is'$ superconducting (SC) phase with broken time-reversal symmetry (BTRS) inside the broad $s$-wave SC region of the centrosymmetric multiband superconductor Ba$_{\rm 1-x}$K$_{\rm x}$Fe$_2$As$_2$ ($0.7 \lesssim x \lesssim 0.85$). We observe spontaneous magnetic fields …
Supramolecular chirality and symmetry breaking of fluoride complexes of achiral foldamers
2017
Aromatic oligoamide foldamers containing a central pyridine-2,6-dicarbonyl motif are partially preorganized to favor the binding of fluoride anions. In the solid state, the foldamer-fluoride complexes form achiral, polar and chiral crystal structures depending on the chemical structure of the foldamer. One of the six foldamers studied here, a C2v symmetrical foldamer (1), formed repeatedly chiral crystal structures when crystallized with tetra-butylammonium fluoride, showing supramolecular bulk chirality and symmetry breaking in crystallization.
