251 Wu, Yong-ShiOn gauge invariance of noncommutative Chern-Simons theoriesMotivated by possible applications to condensed matter systems, in this paper we construct U(N) noncommutative Chern-Simons (NCCS) action for a disc and for a double-layer geometry, respectively. In both cases, gauge invariance severely constrains the form of the NCCS action. In the first case, it ...2002-05
252 Ailion, David CharlesFrequency modulation method for performing adiabatic demagnetization in the rotating reference frameA new method for preforming adiabatic demagnetization in the rotating reference frame in NMR experiments is presented in this paper. In this new method the frequency of a crystal oscillator rather than the actual magnetic field is pulsed off resonance. Using simple circuits which are described in th...Demagnetization; Physics experiments; NMR1970

Both annealed and unannealed thin NT films and D2O solutions of isola...Exciton dynamics; Single-walled carbon nanotubes; SWNT; Transient photoinduced dichroism; Polarized emission; Ultrafast relaxation; Photoexcitations2005-03
254 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineMethod for direct determination of the effective correlation energy of defects in semiconductors: optical modulation spectroscopy of dangling bondsThe optical modulation technique is used for direct determination of energy levels and the effective correlation energy U/eff of dangling-bond defects. With an accuracy of 0.1 eV we found for the dangling-bond defect in α-Si:H, f/e f f=0.5 eV; in α-As2S3, £/e f f= - 1.0 eV; in As2Se3, Ueff = -0.7...Dangling bonds; Correlation energy1985-04
255 Mattis, Daniel C.Phase transition of model interacting chainsThe partition function of n interacting chains having a phase transition at Tc(n) is reduced, by the transfer-matrix formalism, to the determination of an w-body bound state in one dimension. Subject to mild restrictions on the potentials, this w-body problem can be analyzed in terms of a two-body p...Phase transition; Interacting chains1981-12
256 Gondolo, PaoloSolar neutrino limit on axions and keV-mass bosonsThe all-flavor solar neutrino flux measured by the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory constrains nonstandard energy losses to less than about 10% of the Sun's photon luminosity, superseding a helioseismological argument and providing new limits on the interaction strength of low-mass particles. For the ...Interaction strength; keV-mass2009-05
257 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineUltrafast spectroscopy of even-parity states in ∏-conjugated polymersRelaxation dynamics of even parity (Ag) states in poly(p-phenylene vinylene) derivatives are studied using a novel fsec transient spectroscopy, in which two different excitation pulses successively generate odd parity (1 1Bµ) excitons at 2.2 eV and then reexcite them to higher Ag states. For reexci...pi-conjugated polymers; Ultrafast spectroscopy; PPV; Relaxation dynamics2000-09
258 Vardeny, Zeev ValentinePhotophysics of excitons in quasi-one-dimensional organic semiconductors: single-walled carbon nanotubes and ∏-conjugated polymersThe nature of the primary photoexcitations in semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (S-SWCNTs) is of strong current interest. We have studied the emission spectra of S-SWCNTs and two different rr-conjugated polymers in solutions and films, and have also performed ultrafast pump-probe spectro...Photophysics; Excitons; Quasi-one-dimensional; Single-walled carbon nanotubes; pi-conjugated polymers2006-02
259 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineInterchain photogeneration of charged solitons in trans-(CH)xIn a recent Letter1 Rothberg, Jedju, Etemad, and Baker (RJEB) used a novel photoinduced-absorption (PA) technique to study charged-soliton (S ?) dynamics in trans-(CH)X with picosecond resolution by measuring transient PA at 0.45 eV. Both intrachain and interchain photogeneration of S ? are rep...Interchain photogeneration; Charged solitons; Trans-(CH)x1987
260 DeTar, CarletonCritical behavior at the chiral phase transitionIt is generally expected that two-flavor QCD undergoes a high temperature chiral symmetry restoring phase transition at zero quark mass, with O(4) critical behavior[1]. Verifying this expectation is important for understanding the phenomenology of the transition and for facilitating an extrapolation...Phase transitions; Staggered fermions1998-04
261 Gondolo, PaoloDark Stars: Död och ÅteruppståndelseThe first phase of stellar evolution in the history of the universe may be Dark Stars, powered by dark matter heating rather than by fusion. Weakly interacting massive particles, which are their own antiparticles, can annihilate and provide an important heat source for the first stars in the univers...Dark stars; WIMP; Weakly interacting massive particles2009

263 Symko, Orest GeorgeSpin glass behavior of Cd1-xMnxTe below the nearest-neighbor percolation limitMagnetization measurements down to 10 mK of Cd, _ x Mn, Te for Mn concentrations 0.01<x<0.15 show spin glass behavior. Such behavior is attributed to short-range exchange and dipolar interactions. Both interactions are used to explain the concentration dependence of the spin freezing temperatures fo...Spin glass behavior; Cd1-xMnxTe1985
264 Wu, Yong-ShiAbsence of (1,0) supersymmetry anomaly in world-sheet gauge theories: a purely cohomological proofA purely cohomological proof is given for the absence of the (1,0) supersymmetry anomaly in gauge theories on a world sheet.

265 Gondolo, PaoloAGAPE: a search for dark matter in M31 by microlensing effects on unresolved starsM 31 is a very tempting target for a microlensing search of compact objects in galactic haloes. It is the nearest large galaxy, it probably has its own dark halo, and its tilted position with respect to the line of sight provides an unmistakable signature of microlensing. However most stars of M 31...M31; AGAPE; Pixel method; Galaxy; Halo; Cosmology; Gravitational lensing1997
266 Gerton, JordanNanoscale fluorescence microscopy using carbon nanotubesWe demonstrate the use of single-walled carbon nanotubes as nano-optical probes in apertureless near-field fluorescence microscopy.

267 Mattis, Daniel C.Eigenstates of N excitons and one holeWe solve for the eigenstates and energy eigenvalues of N immobile Frenkel excitons (a relatively trivial proposition) and of N such excitons plus one hole (which for large N can only be done in one dimension). We also guess that a charged globule, consisting of N excitons and O(N) holes, can be stab...Eigenstates; Frenkel excitons; Many-body problem1983-04

269 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineRecombination kinetics in ?-Si:HMort et al.1 reinterpreted our data on the relaxation of photoinduced absorption (PA) in a-Si:H. 2 We want to show that the proposed interpretation contradicts one basic feature of the data while our original interpretation is in good agreement with experiment.Hydrogenated amorphous silicon; a-Si:H; Recombination kinetics; Photoinduced absorption; Decay; Relaxation1981
270 DeTar, CarletonExotic hybrid mesons with light quarksHybrid mesons, made from a quark, an antiquark and gluons, can have quantum numbers inaccessible to conventional quark-antiquark states. Confirmation of such states would give information on the role of "dynamical" color in low energy QCD. We present preliminary results for hybrid meson masses using...Hybrid mesons; Kogut-Susskind quarks; Wilson quarks1997-02
