Subtraction of Spurious Centre-of-Mass Motion in Quark Delocalization and Colour Screening Model

The quark delocalization colour screening model provides an alternative approach for the NN intermediate range attraction, which is attributed to the σ meson exchange in the meson exchange and chiral quark model. However the quark delocalization induces the spurious centre-of-mass motion （CMM）. A method for subtracting the spurious CMM proposed before is applied to the new scattering calculation. The subtraction of the spurious CMM results in an additional NN attraction. The NN scattering data are refitted by a fine tune of the colour screening constant.     

Analysis of Vertex D^＊D^＊ρ with Light-Cone QCD Sum Rules

We analyse the vertex D^＊D^＊ρ with the light-cone QCD sum rules. The strong coupling constant gD^＊D^＊ρ is an important parameter in evaluating the charmonium absorption cross sections in searching for the quark-gluon plasmas. Our numerical value for the gD^＊D^＊ρ is consistent with the prediction of the effective SU（4） symmetry and vector meson dominance theory.     

Study on Production of Exotic 0^＋ Meson D＇^＊aj（2317） in Decays of ψ（4415）

The newly observed D^＊aj family containing D^＊aj（2317）, Daj（2460）, and Daj（2632） attracts great interests. Determining their structures may be an important task for both theorists and experimentalists. In this work we use a non-relativistic model （the harmonic oscillator model） to evaluate the production rate of D^＊aj （2317） from the decays of ψ（4415）. For a comparison, we a/so employ the widely adopted heavy quark effective theory to repeat the calculation. We lind that the rate is sizable and may be observed at BES III and CLEO, if it is a p-wave excited state of Da（1968）. Unfortunately, the other two members of the family cannot be observed through decays of charmonia, because of the constraints from the final state phase space.     

QQqq Four-Quark Bound States in Chiral SU（3） Quark Model

Abstract The possibility of QQqq heavy-light four-quark bound states has been analyzed by means of the chiral SU（3） quark model, where Q is the heavy quark （c or b） and q is the light quark （u, d, or s）. We obtain a bound state for the bbnn configuration with quantum number JR=1^＋, I = 0 and for the ccnn （JR=1^＋, I=O） configuration, which is not bound but slightly above the D^＊ D^＊ threshold （n is u or d quark）. Meanwhile, we also conclude that a weakly bound state in bbnn system can also be found without considering the ehiral quark interactions between the two light quarks, yet its binding energy is weaker than that with the chiral quark interactions.     

Tetraneutron in the Chiral Quark Model

The tetraneutron state is studied in the framework of the chiral quark model with tetrahedron configuration. The universal attraction property of σ-meson exchange leads to a strong attraction in the effective potential of the system. It is possible to form a bound state. For comparison, the naive quark model is also employed to carry out the calculation. A weak attraction, which is too weak to bind the system, is obtained.     

K and K* Exchange Effects in Lambda Hypernuclei

We study the effects of K and K^＊ exchange between the A hyperon and the nucleon in a A hypernueleus, where the nuclear core is described by a successful relativistic mean-field （RMF） model. In general, K and K^＊ are responsible for strangeness exchange in the one-boson-exchange potential model, which are absent in the RMF calculation. We investigate the contribution of Fock terms derived from K and K^＊ exchange. We use a pseudovector coupling for K exchange, which is found to provide a repulsive potential for the A particle in hypernuclei. Both vector and tensor couplings for K^＊ exchange are taken into account, whose combined effect on the A single-particle energy is found to be small.     

K－p scattering and hyperon excitations in a chiral quark model

A chiral quark-model approach is employed to study theˉ KN scattering at low energies.The processes of Kˉp → Σ 0 π 0,Λπ 0 andˉ K 0 n at P K 800 MeV/c （i.e.the center mass energy W 1.7 GeV） are investigated.The analysis shows that the Λ（1405）S 01 dominates the processes Kˉp → Σ 0 π 0,ˉ K 0 n in the energy region considered here.Around P K 400 MeV/c,the Λ（1520）D 03 is responsible for a strong resonant peak in the cross section of Kˉp → Σ 0 π 0 andˉ K 0 n.To reproduce the data,an unexpectedly large coupling for Λ（1520）D 03 to KN is needed.In contrast,the coupling for Λ（1670）S 01 to KN appears to be weak,which could be due to configuration mixings between Λ（1405）S 01 and Λ（1670）S 01 .By analyzing Kˉ p → Λπ 0,evidences for two low mass S-wave states,Σ（1480）S 11 and Σ（1560）S 11,seem to be available.With these two states,the reaction Kˉp →ˉ K 0 n can also be described well.However,it is difficult to understand the low masses of Σ（1480）S 11 and Σ（1560）S 11 .The s-channel amplitudes for Kˉp → Λπ 0 are also larger than the naive quark model expectations.The non-resonant background contributions,i.e.t-channel and/or u-channel,also play important roles in the explanation of the angular distributions due to amplitude interferences.

Dynamics of strong and radiative decays of D_s-mesons in the hadrogenesis conjecture

The positive parity scalar D ＊ s0 （2317） and axial-vector D ＊ s1 （2460） charmed strange mesons are generated by coupled-channel dynamics through the s-wave scattering of Goldstone bosons off the pseudoscalar and vector D（D s ）-meson ground states.The specific masses of these states are obtained as a consequence of the attraction arising from the Weinberg-Tomozawa interaction in the chiral Lagrangian.Chiral corrections to order Q 2 χ are calculated and found to be small.The D ＊ s0 （2317） and D ＊ s1 （2460） mesons decay either strongly into the isospin-violating π 0 D s and π 0 D ？ s channels or electromagnetically.We show that the π 0-η and （K^ 0 D ^＋-K^ ＋ D^ 0 ） mixings act constructively to generate strong widths of the order of 140 keV and emphasize the sensitivity of this value to the KD component of the states.The one-loop contribution to the radiative decay amplitudes of scalar and axial-vector states is calculated using the electromagnetic Lagrangian to chiral order Q 2 χ .We show the importance of taking into account processes involving light vector mesons explicitly in the dynamics of electromagnetic decays.The radiative width are sensitive to both η D s and KD components,hence providing information complementary to the strong widths on the positive parity D s-meson structure.     

B→0^＋（1^＋）＋ missing energy in unparticle physics

We examine the effects of an unparticle U as a possible source of missing energy in the p-wave decays of a B meson. The dependence of the differential branching ratio on the K0^＊ （K1） - meson＇s energy is discussed in the presence of scalar and vector unparticle operators and significant deviation from the standard model value is found after addition of these operators. Finally, we have shown the dependence of the branching ratio for the above-mentioned decays on the parameters of unparticle stuff like effective couplings, cutoff scale Au and the scale dimensions du.     

Electronic and magnetic structures of chain structured iron selenide compounds

Electronic and magnetic structures of iron selenide compounds Ce2O2FeSe2 （2212＊） and BaFe2Se3 （123＊） are studied by the first-principles calculations. We find that while all these compounds are composed of one-dimensional （1D） Fe chain （or ladder） structures, their electronic structures are not close to be quasi-lD. The magnetic exchange couplings between two nearest-neighbor （NN） chains in 2212＊ and between two NN two-leg-ladders in 123＊ are both antiferromagnetic （AFM）, which is consistent with the presence of significant third NN AFM coupling, a common feature shared in other iron-chalcogenides, FeTe （11＊） and KyFe2-xSe2 （122＊）. In magnetic ground states, each Fe chain of 2212＊ is ferromagnetic and each two-leg ladder of 123＊ form a block-AFM structure. We suggest that all magnetic structures in iron-selenide compounds can be unified into an extended J1-J2-J3 model. Spin-wave excitations of the model are calculated and can be tested by future experiments on these two systems.     

Interaction between impurity nitrogen and tungsten： a first-principles investigation

We investigate the stability,diffusion,and impurity concentration of nitrogen in intrinsic tungsten single crystal employing a first-principles method,and find that a single nitrogen atom is energetically favourable for sitting at the octahedral interstitial site.A nitrogen atom prefers to diffuse between the two nearest neighboring octahedral interstitial sites with a diffusion barrier of 0.72 eV.The diffusion coefficient is determined as a function of temperature and expressed as D(N)=1.66×10～(-7) exp(0.72/kT).The solubility of nitrogen is estimated in intrinsic tungsten in terms of Sieverts’ law.The concentration of the nitrogen impurity is found to be 4.82×10～(-16) A～3 at a temperature of 600 K and a pressure of 1 Pa.A single nitrogen atom can easily sit in an off-vacancy-centre position close to the octahedral interstitial site.There exists a strong attraction between nitrogen and a vacancy with a large binding energy of 1.40 eV.We believe that these results can provide a good reference for the understanding of the behaviour of nitrogen in intrinsic tungsten.     

Analysis of Chaotic Dynamics in a Two-Dimensional Sine Square Map

We study an N-dimensional system based upon a sine map, which is related to the simplified model of an opto-electronic system. The system behavior is analyzed with the tools of nonlinear dynamics （bifurcations in the parameter plane, critical manifolds, basins of attraction, chaotic attractors）. Our study relies on a two-dimensional system （N=2）. It is interesting that this system shows the existence of bounded chaotic orbits, which can be considered for secure transmissions.     

Optimized Degenerate Bose-Fermi Mixture in Microgravity： DSMC Simulation of Sympathetic Cooling

Applying the direct simulation Monte Carlo （DSMC） method developed for the cold atom system, we explore the possibility of a high-efflciency sympathetic cooling process between 87Rb and 40K without gravitational force in an optical trap. The relation between the pre-cooling of Bosons and the sympathetic cooling efficiency is also studied. We find that the absence of gravitational force is beneficial to the process of sympathetic cooling. fhrthermore, an inefficient pre-cooling process will in fact hamper the creation of Fermi degenerate gases. This suggests the advantages of sympathetic cooling in microgravity.     

Dependence of electron dynamics on magnetic fields in semiconductor superlattices

Numerical simulation results are presented for a drift-diffusion rate equation model which describes electronic transport due to sequential tunneling between adjacent quantum wells in weakly coupled semiconductor superlattices （SLs）. The electron dynamics is dependent on the external magnetic field perpendicular to the electron motion direction, and a detailed explanation is given. Using different parameters, the system shows different dynamic behaviors, and three distinct phenomena are observed and controlled by increasing magnetic field. （i） For a lower doping density, the system state transfers from stable state to oscillationary state. （ii） An opposite result is obtained to that in the case （i） for an intermediate value of the doping density, and the state changes from oscillationary to stationary. （iii） The state varies between oscillationary and stationary when doping density is large. Then, a detailed theoretical analysis is given to explain these surprise phenomena. The distribution of the electric-field domain along the SLs is plotted. We find the structure of the domain is almost uniform for a lower doping density, and no domain occurs in the SLs. By adding an external ac signal, complex nonlinear behaviors are observed from the Poincaré map and the corresponding phase diagrams when the driving frequency changes.     

Electrostatic interaction of a spherical particle in the vicinity of a circular orifice

The electrostatic interaction of a charged spherical particle in the vicinity of an orifice plane has been investigated in this paper.The particle can creep along the axis of the orifice and is immersed in a bulk electrolyte.By solving the Poisson-Boltzmann problem,we have obtained the effective electrostatic interaction for several values of reduced orifice radius h,including the cases of h > 1,h = 1 and h < 1.Two kinds of boundary conditions of the orifice plane are considered.One is the constant potential model corresponding to a conducting plane,the other is the constant charge model.In the constant potential model,there is an electrostatic attraction between the particle and the orifice plane when they get close to each other,while there is a pure electrostatic repulsion in the constant charge model.The interactions in both boundary models are sensitive to the parameters of the reduced orifice radius,the reduced particle-orifice distance,surface charge densities of the particle and orifice plane,and the reduced Debye screen constant corresponding to the salt-ion concentration and ion valence.     

Interactions between bright solitons in different species of Bose—Einstein condensates

The dynamics of a bright-bright vector soliton in a cigar-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate trapping in a harmonic potential is studied.The interaction between bright solitons in different species with small separation is derived.Unlike the interaction between solitons of the same species,it is independent of the phase difference between solitons.It may be of attraction or repulsion.In the former case,each soliton will oscillate about and pass through each other around the mass-center of the system,which will also oscillate harmonically due to the harmonic trapping potential.     

The solution of a wedge disclination dipole interacting with an annular inclusion and the force acting on the disclination dipole

The interaction between a wedge disclination dipole and an elastic annular inclusion is investigated. Utilizing the Muskhelishvili complex variable method, the explicit series form solutions of the complex potentials in the matrix and the inclusion region are derived. The image force acting on the disclination dipole centre is also calculated. The influence of the location of the disclination dipole and the thickness of the annular inclusion as well as the elastic dissimilarity of materials upon the equilibrium position of the disclination dipole is discussed in detail. The results show that a stable equilibrium point of the disclination dipole near the inclusion is found for certain combinations of material constant. Moreover, the force on the disclination dipole is strongly affected by the position of the disclination dipole and the thickness of annular inclusion. The repulsion force increases （or the attraction force reduces） with the increase of the thickness of the annular inclusion. An appropriate critical value of the thickness of the annular inclusion may be found to change the direction of the force on the disclination dipole. The present solutions include previous results as special eases.     

Contributions of qqqqq Components to Axial Charges of Proton and N（1440）

The axial charges of the proton and N（1440） are studied in the framework of an extended constituent quark model （CQM） including qqqqq components. The cancellation between the contributions of qqq components and qqqqq components gives a natural explanation to the experimental value of the proton axial charge, which can not be well reproduced in the traditional CQM even after the SU（6） × O（3） symmetry breaking is taken into account. The experimental value of axial charge pins down the proportion of the qqqqq component in the proton to about 20%, which is consistent with the ones given by the strong decay widths and helicity amplitudes. Besides, an axial charge for N（1440） about 1 is predicted with 30% qqqqq component, which is obtained by the strong and electromagnetic decays.
