Electric-Field-Induced Skyrmion Distortion and Giant Lattice Rotation in the Magnetoelectric Insulator Cu2OSeO3

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Arnaud Magrez, Ivica Zivkovic, Helmuth Berger, Jonathan White, Krunoslav Prsa, Ping Huang, Arash Alahgholipour Omrani

Uniquely in Cu2OSeO3, the Skyrmions, which are topologically protected magnetic spin vortexlike objects, display a magnetoelectric coupling and can be manipulated by externally applied electric (E) fields. Here, we explore the E-field coupling to the magne ...

Ultraviolet completion without symmetry restoration

Solomon G Shamsuddin Osman Endlich

We show that it is not possible to UV complete certain low-energy effective theories with spontaneously broken spacetime symmetries by embedding them into linear sigma models, that is, by adding "radial" modes and restoring the broken symmetries. When such ...

Strong, weak and flavor scalar triplets for the CDF Wjj anomaly

Duccio Pappadopulo, Riccardo Torre

A model describing the 4.1 sigma Wjj anomaly observed by the CDF experiment at the Tevatron collider is introduced. It features new scalar particles which are charged both under the SU(3)(C) and the SU(2)(L) gauge groups and which couple to pairs of quarks ...

Metastable de Sitter vacua in N=2 to N=1 truncated supergravity

Claudio Scrucca, Paul Smyth, Francesca Catino

We study the possibility of achieving metastable de Sitter vacua in general N=2 to N=1 truncated supergravities without vector multiplets, and compare with the situations arising in N=2 theories with only hypermultiplets and N=1 theories with only chiral m ...

Metastable supersymmetry breaking in N=2 non-linear sigma-models

Claudio Scrucca, Jean-Claude Jacot

We perform a general study of the issue of metastability for supersymmetry-breaking vacua in theories with N=1 and N=2 global supersymmetry. This problem turns out to capture all the important qualitative features of the corresponding question in theories ...

Enantiomerically Pure Alleno-Acetylenic Macrocycles: Synthesis, Solid-State Structures, Chiroptical Properties, and Electron Localization Function Analysis

Pablo Rivera Fuentes

New enantiomerically pure alleno-acetylenic macrocycles were prepd. by oxidative homocoupling of optically active 1,3-diethynylallenes. Enantiomer sepn. resulted from a combined strategy of synthesis and chiral HPLC techniques. Two other achiral stereoisom ...

Precise measurement of hadronic τ-decays with an η meson

Olivier Schneider, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Sun Hee Kim, Remi Léandre Albert Louvot, Xiao Wang

We have studied hadronic τ decay modes involving an η meson using 490 fb-1 of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+ e- collider. The following branching fractions have been measured: B (τ- → K- η ντ) = (1.58 ± 0.05 ± 0.09) ...

Selective Enhancement of Carbon Nanotube Photoluminescence by Resonant Energy Transfer

Klaus Kern, Kannan Balasubramanian

We report on a simple method for enhancing the efficiency of photoluminescence (PL) emission from selected chiral forms of semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The method is based on the use of a fluorescent dye (Nile blue A) that shows th ...

Effective spin-flip scattering in diffusive superconducting proximity systems with magnetic disorder

Dmitri Ivanov

We revisit the problem of diffusive proximity systems involving superconductors and normal metals (or ferromagnets) with magnetic disorder. On the length scales much larger than its correlation length, the effect of sufficiently weak magnetic disorder may ...

Applications of the Static Quenching of Rhodamine B by Carbon Nanotubes

Klaus Kern, Kannan Balasubramanian

We report here on the interaction of the fluorescent dye rhodamine B (RB) with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). We observe that SWCNTs statically quench the fluorescence of RB by forming a stable ground state complex. Careful spectroscopic analysis ...
