Magnetoexciton in semiconductor concentric double rings

We investigate theoretically the magnetoexciton states in semiconductor concentric quantum double rings using the multi-band effective mass theory. We find that a perpendicular magnetic field can lead to oscillations in the exciton energy which appear as kinks in the magneto-photoluminescence (PL) spectra as the magnetic field increases. The spatial distribution of the exciton over the rings depends sensitively on the thicknesses of the inner and outer rings. The tunneling coupling between the inner and outer rings and the heavy-hole and light-hole mixing results in different anticrossing behaviors. Exciton can be converted into a spatially separated type-II exciton by tuning the thickness, the inner and/or outer ring radius and the magnetic field. We show that this type I–type II transition is reflected in the oscillator strength of the PL spectrum which will be the experimental signature that will provide us with information about the spatial distribution of the exciton.     

Nuclear electric dipole moments at ion storage rings

Upper limits on the electric dipole moments (EDM) of elementary particles and atoms are presented, and their physical implications are discussed. The implications following from the neutron and atomic experiments are of comparable interest. The nuclear EDMs can be studied at ion storage rings, with the expected sensitivity much better than . This would represent a serious progress in studies of the CP-violation problem. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Modules with the Direct Summand Sum Property

The present work gives some characterizations of R-modules with the direct summand sum property (in short DSSP), that is of those R-modules for which the sum of any two direct summands, so the submodule generated by their union, is a direct summand, too. General results and results concerning certain classes of R-modules (injective or projective) with this property, over several rings, are presented.     

The p-Blocks of the Mackey Algebra

Let p be a prime number. This paper describes the primitive idempotents and prime spectrum of the crossed Burnside algebra of a finite group over a p-local ring. The main application is a formula for the block idempotents of the p-local Mackey algebra of the group, in terms of the corresponding bloks of the group algebra.     

On Gouvêa's conjecture in the unobstructed case

In this article, for a residual modular representation defined over an arbitrary finite field, Gouvêa's conjecture which says that the universal deformation ring is isomorphic to a certain Hecke algebra is proven in the unobstructed case.

Present and future experiments with stored exotic nuclei at relativistic energies

Pioneering experiments with stored and cooled exotic nuclei at relativistic energies have been performed using the combination of the fragment separator FRS with the storage-cooler ring ESR. Exotic nuclei created in peripheral collisions are spatially separated in-flight and injected into the storage ring for high-precision mass and unique lifetime measurements. Lifetimes of stored bare and few-electron nuclei have been measured to study the influence of the electron density on the β decay. This condition, relevant for stellar plasma, can now be systematically investigated in the laboratory for the first time. Characteristic experiments of the present FRS-ESR system are presented and perspectives for a next-generation facility are briefly outlined. Received: 1 May 2001 / Accepted: 4 December 2001     

Topological Aspects of Solitons in Ferromagnets

Two kinds of topological soliton （skyrmion and magnetic vortex ring） in ferromagnets are studied. They have the common topological origin, a tensor Hαβ = n→·（δαn→×βδn→）, which describes the non-trivial distribution of local orientation of magnetization n→ at large distances in space. The topological stability of skyrmion is protected by the winding number. Knot-like topological defect as magnetic vortex rings is also studied. On the assumption that magnetic vortex rings are geometric lines, we present their δ-function distribution in ferromagnetic materials. Furthermore, it is briefly shown that Hopf invariant is a proper topological invariant to describe the topology of magnetic vortex rings.     

Conformational Aspects of Many-Membered Rings

The stereochemistry of the various chemical grouping which constitute the structural units of ring systems is first reviewed. It is then shown that the strain-free possibilities even of large rings are restricted, and that the ring conformation theoretically derived generally correspond to those found by physical methods. Variations of physical properties and of cyclization yield in homologous series are explained on a conformational basis.
