Combination of CDF and D0 Limits on a Gauge Mediated SUSY Model Using Diphoton and Missing Transverse Energy Channel

We combine the results of the CDF and D0 searches for chargino and neutralino production in Gauge-Mediated SUSY using the two-photon and missing Et channel. The data are p-pbar collisions produced at the Tevatron with sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV, with 202 pb^-1 collected at CDF and 263 pb^-1 collected at D0. The combined limit excludes a chargino mass less than 209 GeV/c^2. This result significantly extends the individual experimental limits.

Kinetic Roughening of Ion-Sputtered Pd(001) Surface: Beyond the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky Model

We investigate the kinetic roughening of Ar$^+$ ion-sputtered Pd(001) surface both experimentally and theoretically. \textit{In situ} real-time x-ray reflectivity and \textit{in situ} scanning tunneling microscopy show that nanoscale adatom islands form and grow with increasing sputter time $t$. Surface roughness, $W(t)$, and lateral correlation length, $ξ(t)$, follows the scaling laws, $W(t)\sim t^β$ and $ξ(t)\sim t^{1/z}$ with the exponents $β\simeq 0.20$ and $1/z\simeq 0.20$, for ion beam energy $ε=0.5$ keV, which is inconsistent with the prediction of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) model. We thereby extend the KS model by applying the Sigmund theory of sputter erosion to the higher order, ${\cal O}(\nabla^4, h^2)$, where $h$ is surface height, and derive a new term of the form $\nabla^2(\nabla h)^2$ which plays an indispensable role in describing the observed morphological evolution of the sputtered surface.

The CDFII Time-Of-Flight Detector and Impact on Beauty Flavor Tagging

The new CDFII detector incorporates a Time-of-Flight detector (TOF), employing plastic scintillator bars and fine-mesh photomultipliers. Since August 2001 the TOF system has been fully instrumented and integrated into the CDFII data acquisition system. With a design goal of $100 ps$ resolution the TOF system will provide at least two standard deviations separation between $K^{\pm}$ and $π^{\pm}$ for momenta $p<1.6 GeV/c$, complementing low momentum particle identification by means of the specific ionization energy loss measured in the drift chamber. We describe the design of the TOF detector and discuss the current status of its calibration and initial performances. Finally we review the expected impact of the TOF detector in the flavor tagging of neutral $B_S$ meson.

Formation of Co nanoclusters in epitaxial Ti_{0.96} Co_{0.04} O_2 thin films and their ferromagnetism

Anatase Ti0.96Co0.04O2 films were grown epitaxially on SrTiO3 (001) substrates by using plused laser deposition with in-situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction. The oxygen partial pressure, PO2, during the growth was systematically varied. As PO2 decreased, the growth behavior was changed from a 2-dimensional layer-by-layer-like growth to a 3-dimensional island-like one, which resulted in an increase in the saturation magnetization. These structural and magnetic changes were explained in terms of the formation of cobalt clusters whose existence was proved by transmission-electron-microscopie studies. Our work clearly indicates that the cobalt clustering will cause room-temperature ferromagnetism in the Co-doped TiO2 films.

Universal scaling of Hall resistivity in clean and moderately clean limits for Hg- and Tl-based superconductors

The mixed-state Hall resistivity and the longitudinal resistivity in HgBa_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{6}, HgBa_{2}Ca_{2}Cu_{3}O_{8}, and Tl_{2}Ba_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{8} thin films have been investigated as functions of the magnetic field up to 18 T. We observe the universal scaling behavior between ρ_{xy} and ρ_{xx} in the regions of the clean and the moderately clean limit. The scaling exponent βis 1.9 in the clean limit at high field and low temperature whereas βis 1.0 in the moderately clean limit at low field and high temperature, consistent with a theory based on the midgap states in the vortex cores. This finding implies that the Hall conductivity is also universal in Hg- and Tl-based superconductors.

Spin-Landau Orbit Coupling in Units of the Flux Quantum Observed from Zeeman Splitting of a Quantum Wire Array

In Zeeman spectra of a GaAs-AlGaAs quantum wire array with superlattice period lp, the zero-field shift is found to increase in steps of (2 pi hbar/ e)lp^{-2} at the cyclotron radius Rc ~lp, lp/2, and lp/3. This shift, caused by spin-Landau orbit coupling and quantized in units of the flux quantum 2 pi hbar /e,is a manifestation of the gauge invariance, and the first observation of the flux quantization in a non-superconducting material.The quantum interference associated with the phase difference in the quantum barrier scattering is also reported.
