Contributions of qqqq q components to nucleon spin structure

The spin structure of nucleons is presented in the framework of an extended quark model which in addition to the conventional qqq structure also takes into account qqqq q admixtures in the nucleon wave functions, where the qqqq q components are in colored quark cluster configurations. The axial vector weak coupling constant and spin distributions for polarized nucleons as well as spin content are obtained for the lowest positive parity qqqq q configurations in flavor-spin dependent interaction. In particular, the contributions of the down and strange quarks to the proton spin and the sum rule for polarized neutron are negative, in agreement with recent experiments.     

Meson polarized distribution function and mass dependence of the nucleon parton densities

The polarized distribution functions of mesons, including pion, kaon and eta, using the proton structure function, are calculated. We are looking for a relationship between the polarized distribution of mesons and the polarized structure of nucleons. We show that the meson polarized parton distributions leads to zero total spin for the concerned mesons, considering the orbital angular momentum of quarks and gluons inside the meson. Two separate Monte Carlo algorithms are applied to compute the polarized parton distributions of the kaon. Via the mass dependence of quark distributions, the distribution function of the eta meson is obtained. A new method by which the polarized sea quark distributions of protons are evolved separately which cannot be performed easily using the standard solution of DGLAP equations - is introduced. The mass dependence of these distributions is obtained, using the renormalization group equation which makes their evolutions more precise. Comparison between the evolved distributions and the available experimental data validates the suggested solutions for separated evolutions.     

Nucleon/nuclei polarized structure function,using Jacobi polynomials expansion

We use the constituent quark model to extract polarized parton distributions and finally polarized nucleon structure function.Due to limited experimental data which do not cover whole （x,Q 2 ） plane and to increase the reliability of the fitting,we employ the Jacobi orthogonal polynomials expansion.It will be possible to extract the polarized structure functions for Helium,using the convolution of the nucleon polarized structure functions with the light cone moment distribution.The results are in good agreement with available experimental data and some theoretical models.     

Nucleon internal structure: a new set of quark, gluon momentum, angular momentum operators and parton distribution functions

It is unavoidable to deal with the quark and gluon momentum and angular momentum contributions to the nucleon momentum and spin in the study of nucleon internal structure. However we never have the quark and gluon momentum, orbital angular momentum and gluon spin operators which satisfy both the gauge invariance and the canonical momentum and angular momentum commutation relation. The conflicts between the gauge invariance and canonical quantization requirement of these operators are discussed. A new set of quark and gluon momentum, orbital angular momentum and spin operators, which satisfy both the gauge invariance and canonical momentum and angular momentum commutation relation, are proposed. The key point to achieve such a proper decomposition is to separate the gauge field into the pure gauge and the gauge covariant parts. The same conflicts also exist in QED and quantum mechanics and have been solved in the same manner. The impacts of this new decomposition to the nucleon internal structure are discussed.     

Neutron Star Composition in Strong Magnetic Fields

We study the neutron star composition in the presence of a strong magnetic field. The effects of the anomalousmagnetic moments of both nucleons and electrons are investigated in relativistic mean field calculations for afl-equilibrium system. Since neutrons are fully spin polarized in a large field, generally speaking, the protonfraction can never exceed the field free case. An extremely strong magnetic field may lead to a pure neutronmatter instead of a proton-rich matter.     

Spin and Charge Currents through a Quantum Dot Connected to Ferromagnetic Leads

We investigate the spin polarized current through a quantum dot connected to ferromagnetic leads in the presence of a finite spin-dependent chemical potential. The effects of the spin polarization of the leads p and the external magnetic field B are studied. It is found that both the magnitude and the symmetry of the current are dependent on the spin polarization of the leads. When the two ferromagnetic leads are in parallel configuration, the spin polarization p has an insignificant effect on the spin current, and an accompanying charge current appears with the increase of p. When the leads are in antiparallel configuration, however, the effect of p is distinct. The charge current is always zero regardless of the variation of p in the absence of B. The peaks appearing in the pure spin current are greatly suppressed and become asymmetric as p is increased. The applied magnetic field B results in an accompanying charge current in both the parallel and antiparallel configurations of the leads. The characteristics of the currents are explained in terms of the density of states of the quantum dot.

Monte Carlo study of nanowire magnetic properties

In this work, we use Monte Carlo simulations to study the magnetic properties of a nanowire system based on a honeycomb lattice, in the absence as well as in the presence of both an external magnetic field and crystal field. The system is formed with NL layers having spins that can take the values σ = ±1/2 and S = ±1, 0. The blocking temperature is deduced, for each spin configuration, depending on the crystal field Δ. The effect of the exchange interaction coupling Jp between the spin configurations σ and S is studied for different values of temperature at fixed crystal field. The established ground-state phase diagram, in the plane (Jp ,Δ), shows that the only stable configurations are: (1/2, 0), (1/2, +1), and (1/2,-1). The thermal magnetization and susceptibility are investigated for the two spin configurations, in the absence as well as in the presence of a crystal field. Finally, we establish the hysteresis cycle for different temperature values, showing that there is almost no remaining magnetization in the absence of the external magnetic field, and that the studied system exhibits a super-paramagnetic behavior.     

Gauge invariance and quantization applied to atom and nucleon internal structure

The prevailing theoretical quark and gluon momentum,orbital angular momentum and spin operators,satisfy either gauge invariance or the corresponding canonical commutation relation,but one never has these operators which satisfy both except the quark spin.The conflicts between gauge invariance and the canonical quantization requirement of these operators are discussed.A new set of quark and gluon momentum,orbital angular momentum and spin operators,which satisfy both gauge invariance and canonical momentum and angular momentum commutation relation,are proposed.To achieve such a proper decomposition the key point is to separate the gauge field into the pure gauge and the gauge covariant parts.The same conflicts also exist in QED and quantum mechanics,and have been solved in the same manner.The impacts of this new decomposition to the nucleon internal structure are discussed.     

Structure of Nonlocal Vacuum Condensate of Quarks

The Dyson-Schwinger formalism is used to derive a fully dressed quark propagator. By use of the derived form of the quark propagator, the structure of non-local quark vacuum condensate is studied, and the values of local quark vacuum condensate as well as quark gluon mixed condensate are calculated. The theoretical predictions are in good agreement with the empirical one used commonly in the literature.     

Symmetry ensemble theory of spin wave emitting effectdriven by current in nanoscale magnetic multilayer

<正>This paper proposes a symmetry ensemble model for the magnetic dynamics caused by spin transfer torque in nanoscale pseudo-spin-valves,in which individual spin moments in the free layer are considered as subsystems to form a spinor ensemble.The magnetization dynamics equation of the ensemble was developed.By analytically investigating the equation,many magnetization dynamics properties excited by polarized current reported in experiments,such as double spin wave modes and the abrupt frequency jump,can be successfully explained.It is pointed out that an external field is not necessary for spin wave emitting(SWE) and a novel perpendicular configuration structure can provide much higher SWE efficiency in zero magnetic field.     

Spin and spin-orbit coupling effects in nickel-based superalloys: A first-principles study on Ni3Al doped with Ta/W/Re

Heavy elements(X=Ta/W/Re)play an important role in the performance of superalloys,which enhance the strength,anti-oxidation,creep resistance,and anti-corrosiveness of alloy materials in a high-temperature environment.In the present research,the heavy element doping effects in FCC-Ni(γ)and Ni₃Al(γ')systems are investigated in terms of their thermodynamic and mechanical properties,as well as electronic structures.The lattice constant,bulk modulus,elastic constant,and dopant formation energy in non-spin,spin polarized,and spin-orbit coupling(SOC)calculations are compared.The results show that the SOC effects are important in accurate electronic structure calculations for alloys with heavy elements.We find that including spin for bothγandγ'phases is necessary and sufficient for most cases,but the dopant formation energy is sensitive to different spin effects,for instance,in the absence of SOC,even spin-polarized calculations give 1%to 9%variance in the dopant formation energy in our model.Electronic structures calculations indicate that spin polarization causes a split in the metal d states,and SOC introduces a variance in the spin-up and spin-down states of the d states of heavy metals and reduces the magnetic moment of the system.     

Transport Through a Precessing Spin Coupled to Noncollinearly Polarized Ferromagnetic Leads

The quantum electronic transport through a precessing magnetic spin coupled to noncollinearly polarized ferromagnetic leads （F-MS-F） has been studied in this paper. The nonequilibrium Green function approach is used to calculate local density of states （LDOS） and current in the presence of external bias. The characters of LDOS and the electronic current are obtained. The tunneling current is investigated for different precessing angle and different configurations of the magnetization of the leads. The investigation revea/s that when the precessing angle takes θ 〈 π /2 and negative bias is applied, the resonant tunneling current appears, otherwise, it appears when positive bias is applied. When the leads are totally polarized and the precessing angel takes O, the tunneling current changes with the configuration of two leads; and it becomes zero when the two leads are antiparallel.     

Transition magnetic moments of J~P=3/2~+ decuplet to J~P=1/2~+ octet baryons in the chiral constituent quark model

In light of the developments of the chiral constituent quark model(χ~(CQM)) in studying low energy hadronic matrix elements of the ground-state baryons, we extend this model to investigate their transition properties.The magnetic moments of transitions from the J~P=3/2~+ decuplet to J~P=1/2~+ octet baryons are calculated with explicit valence quark spin, sea quark spin and sea quark orbital angular momentum contributions. Since the experimental data is available for only a few transitions, we compare our results with the results of other available models. The implications of other complicated effects such as chiral symmetry breaking and SU(3) symmetry breaking arising due to confinement of quarks are also discussed.     

Ultrahigh Spin Structures in 157,158,159Er

Rotational structures at ultrahigh spin in ^157,158,159 Er have been investigated with the configuration-dependent cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky approach. Configurations of observed bands are assigned and the corresponding deformations are given theoretically. The calculations suggest that one of ultrahigh spin bands in ^158 Er is triaxial highly deformed and the other is normal-deformed, while both ultrahigh spin bands in ^157Er are suggested to be triaxial highly deformed. The possible ultrahigh spin bands in ^159Er are predicted to be triaxial highly deformed and have shape coexistence in the same configuration. The configurations with two neutron holes in the Nose = 4 orbitals and two neutron holes in the h11/2 orbitals in ^159Er are favoured for ultrahigh spin states but unfavoured for band termination, which is similar to ultrahigh spin bands in ^157,15SEr.

The effects of current-path patterns on magnetotransport in spatially-confined structures by Monte Carlo simulation

Simulations are performed on clusters of finite size to study the effects of size and current-path structure on magnetotransport in spatially-confined samples. Magnetotransport networks are established and calculated based on fractal structures including Koch curves and percolation backbones extracted from regular lattices. The structure pattern of clusters is shown to play an important role in the magnetotransport behaviours by affecting the magnetoresistance fluctuations due to spin disorder in the systems of small size, which suggests the possibility of controlling the magnetotransport by the design of current-path configurations.
