However, QED has mature non-perturbation models which can be applied to Fermi acting-energy between quark and gluon. This paper applies quantum electrodynamics in 2 + 1 dimensions (QED3) to the Fermi condensation problems. First, the Dyson-Schwinger equation which the fermions satisfy is constructed, and then the Fermi energy gap is solved. Theoretical calculations show that within the chirality limit, there exist three solutions for the energy gap; beyond the chirality limit, there are two solutions; all these solutions correspond to different fermion condensates. It can be concluded that the fermion condensates within the chirality limit can be used to analyze the existence of antiferromagnetic, pseudogap, and superconducting phases, and two fermion condensates are discovered beyond the chirality limit.展开更多

In the present computation, the use of pseudo-alloy-atom model (PAA) is proposed and found successful. The influence of the six different forms of the local field correction functions proposed by Hartree (H), Vashishta Singwi (VS), Taylor (T), lehimaru-Utsumi (IU), Farid et al. (F), and Sarkar et al. (S) on the aforesaid electronic properties is examined explicitly, which reflects the varying effects of screening. The depth of the negative hump in the electron dispersion of liquid alkalis decreases in the order Li --→ K, except for Rb and Cs, it increases. The results of alloys are in predictive nature.展开更多

It is shown that the two-fold time reversal degeneracy is broken and the quasibound states of GQD with positive^negative angular momentum shifted upwards/downwards with increasing the magnetic flux. The variation of the quasibound energy depends linearly on the magnetic flux, which is quite different from the parabolic relationship for SchrSdinger electrons. The GQD's quasibound states spectrum shows an obvious Aharonov-Bohm (AB) oscillations with the magnetic flux. It is also shown that the quasibound state with energy equal to the barrier height becomes a bound state completely confined in GQD.展开更多

The cross sections for both sequential fermions and vector-like fermions are presented. It is found that for sequential fermions the cross sections can reach 1 - 10^2 /b for heavy quark mass mQ from 1000 GeV to 200 GeV. For vector-like quarks, the cross sections are suppressed by mixing parameter sin OL. Focusing on process pp → b'b', we investigate the possibility of detecting the 6l 4- 2j signal. For a b' with light mass and a large branching ratio of b' → bZ, it is found that only several signal events ( parton level ) can be produced with 1000 fb^-1 integrated luminosity. Although the signal events are rare, all the final states are produced centrally and multi lepton final states are clear at hadron collider, which could be easily detected.展开更多

Relations between the Green's functions in this form and those in the conventional four-component form are derived. It is shown that the S-matrix elements in both forms are exactly the same. The description of the fermion in the new form simplifies significantly the γ-matrix algebra in the four-component form. In particular, in perturbative calculations the propagator of the fermion is a scalar function. As examples, we use this form to reproduce the relativistic spectrum of hydrodron atom, the S-matrix of e+e-→μ+μ- and QED one-loop vacuum polarization of photon.展开更多

Applying the approach, we obtain the quasi-particle spectrum of the model describing the superfluid phase transition that arises when a Feshbach resonance pairing occurs in a dilute Fermi gas in the presence of the magnetization fields and . When the gap parameter Δ is smaller than one or both of the magnetization fields, the spectrum manifests roton-type structure dramatically different from the spectrum in the absence of the magnetization fields.展开更多

In the "Asqtad" improved staggered fermion formulation, we measure full ππ four-point correlators for isospin I = 0 and 2 channels, and use chiral perturbation theory at next-to-leading order to extrapolate our simulation results. Extrapolating to the physical pion mass yields scattering lengths as mna01=2 = -0.041 6(2) and mna01= 0.186(2) for isospin I = 2 and 0 channels, respectively. Our lattice simulation for ππ scattering length in I = 0 channel is an exploratory study, where we include the disconnected contribution, and our preliminary result is near to its experimental value. These simulations are carried out with MILC 2 + 1 flavor gauge configurations at lattice spacing a ≈0.15 fm.展开更多

In the case of interaction via mass less bosons we obtain an equivalent expression for the Coulomb's energy on the form cthc/r, where a is the fine structure constant. In the case of the interaction via massive particles we obtain that the interaction energy contains a term building the potential well. Also, we take into account the spin-spin interaction of the nucleons and we show that this interaction modulates the interaction potential through a cosine factor. The obtained results are in a good agreement with experimental data, for example, of deuteron. We have determined the radial functions for the deuteron.展开更多

We obtain the corresponding edge states for each one of these sixteen classes of QSHs. In addition, it is predicted that massless fermionic excitations appear at the quantum phase transition between different QSH states. In the end, we also briefly discuss the threedimensional case.展开更多

However, Weyl semimetals(WSMs) usually go beyond this symmetry-based strategy. In other words, Weyl nodes could emerge in a material, no matter if its occupied bands satisfy CR, or if the symmetry indicators are zero. In this work, we propose a new topological invariant v for the systems with S4 symmetry(i.e., the improper rotation S_(4)(≡IC_(4z)) is a proper fourfold rotation(C_(4z)) followed by inversion(I)), which can be used to diagnose the WSM phase. Moreover, v can be easily computed through the onedimensional Wilson-loop technique. By applying this method to the high-throughput screening in our first-principles calculations, we predict a lot of WSMs in both nonmagnetic and magnetic compounds.Various interesting properties(e.g., magnetic frustration effects, superconductivity and spin-glass order,etc.) are found in predicted WSMs, which provide realistic platforms for future experimental study of the interplay between Weyl fermions and other exotic states.展开更多
