Gondolo, Paolo | Annual modulation of dark matter in the presence of streams | In addition to a smooth component of weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter in galaxies, there may be streams of material; the effects of WIMP streams on direct detection experiments is examined in this paper. The contribution to the count rate due to the stream cuts off at some char... | WIMP streams; Weakly interacting massive particles; Cutoff energy; Halo models; Sagittarius dwarf galaxy; Recoil energy; Sgr stream | 2006-08 |

Wu, Yong-Shi | Numerical study of the three-dimensional random-field Ising model at zero and positive temperature | In this paper the three-dimensional random-field Ising model is studied at both zero temperature and positive temperature. Critical exponents are extracted at zero temperature by finite size scaling analysis of large discontinuities in the bond energy. The heat capacity exponent α is found to be n... | Bond energies; Ground states | 2006-08 |

Mishchenko, Eugene | Optical conductivity of a two-dimensional electron liquid with spin-orbit interaction | The interplay of electron-electron interactions and spin-orbit coupling leads to a new contribution to the homogeneous optical conductivity of the electron liquid. The latter is known to be insensitive to many-body effects for a conventional electron system with parabolic dispersion. The parabolic... | Optical conductivity; Electron liquid; Spin-orbit coupling | 2006-08 |

Wu, Yong-Shi | Topological quantization of the spin Hall effect in two-dimensional paramagnetic semiconductors | We propose models of two-dimensional paramagnetic semiconductors where the intrinsic spin Hall effect is exactly quantized in integer units of a topological charge. The model describes a topological insulator in the bulk and a "holographic metal" at the edge, where the number of extended edge stat... | Topological insulator; Holographic metal; Edge states | 2006-08 |
