We attempt to apply the Regge trajectory approach to the triply heavy triquarks. We present the triquark Regge trajectory relations, and then employ them to crudely estimate the spectra of the triquarks $((cc)\bar{c})$, $((cc)\bar{b})$, $((bc)\bar{c})$, $((bc)\bar{b})$, $((bb)\bar{c})$, and $((bb)\bar{b})$. The $\lambda$-trajectories and the $\rho$-trajectories are discussed. The triquark Regge trajectory becomes a new and very simple approach for estimating the spectra of triquarks., Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, 9 tables. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2407.18280, arXiv:2407.04222

We present the explicit form of the Regge trajectory relations for the triply heavy bottom-charm baryons, which can be applied to investigate both the $\lambda$-mode excited states and the $\rho$-mode excited states. We estimate the masses of the $\lambda$-excited states and the $\rho$-excited states. The results are in agreement with other theoretical predictions. Both the $\lambda$-trajectories and the $\rho$-trajectories are discussed. Moreover, the behaviors of the $\lambda$- and $\rho$-trajectories for various baryons are discussed. It is shown that both the $\lambda$-trajectories and the $\rho$-trajectories for baryons are concave downwards in the $(M^2,\,x)$ plane. The Regge trajectories for the light baryons are approximately linear and become concave as the masses of the light constituents are considered., Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures, 8 tables.

We propose the Regge trajectory relations for the heavy tetraquarks $(Qq)(\bar{Q}\bar{q}')$ $(Q=b,\,c;\,q,\,q'=u,\,d,\,s)$ with hidden bottom and charm. By employing the new relations, both the $\lambda$-trajectories and the $\rho$-trajectories for the tetraquarks $(Qq)(\bar{Q}\bar{q}')$ can be discussed. The masses of the $\lambda$-mode excited states and the $\rho$-mode excited states are estimated, and they agree with other theoretical predictions. We show that the behaviors of the $\rho$-trajectories are different from those of the $\lambda$-trajectories. The $\rho$-trajectories behave as $M{\sim}x_{\rho}^{1/2}$ $(x_{\rho}=n_r,\,l)$ while the $\lambda$-trajectories behave as $M{\sim}x_{\lambda}^{2/3}$ $(x_{\lambda}=N_r,\,L)$. Moreover, the Regge trajectory behaviors for other types of tetraquarks are investigated based on the spinless Salpeter equation. We show that both the $\lambda$-trajectories and the $\rho$-trajectories are concave downwards in the $(M^2,\,x)$ plane. The Regge trajectories for the tetraquarks containing the light diquark and/or the light antidiquark also are concave in the $(M^2,\,x)$ plane when the masses of the light constituents are included and the confining potential is linear., Comment: 18 pages,7 figures,15 tables.

We attempt to present an unified description of the light meson spectra and the light diquark spectra by applying the Regge trajectory approach. However, we find that the direct application of the linear Regge trajectory formula for the light mesons and baryons fails. To address this issue, we fit the experimental data of light meson spectra and the light diquark spectra obtained by other theoretical approaches. By considering the light quark mass and the parameter $C$ in the Cornell potential, we provide a provisional Regge trajectory formula. We also crudely estimate the masses of the light diquarks $(ud)$, $(us)$, and $(ss)$, and find that they agree with other theoretical results. The diquark Regge trajectory not only becomes a new and very simple approach for estimating the spectra of the light diquarks, but also can explicitly show the behavior of the masses with respect to $l$ or $n_r$. Moreover, it is expected that the diquark Regge trajectory can provide a simple method for investigating the $\rho$-mode excitations of baryons, tetraquarks and pentaquarks containing diquarks., Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures, 5 tables.

Hypothesis: Nanofluidic systems provide an emerging and efficient platform for thermoelectric conversion and fluid pumping with low-grade heat energy. As a basis of their performance enhancement, the effects of the structures and properties of the nanofluidic systems on the thermoelectric response (TER) and the thermoosmotic response (TOR) are yet to be explored. Methods: The simultaneous TER and TOR of electrolyte solutions in nanofluidic membrane pores on which an axial temperature gradient is exerted are investigated numerically and semi-analytically. A semi-analytical model is developed with the consideration of finite membrane thermal conductivity and the reservoir/entrance effect. Findings: The increase in the access resistance due to the nanopore-reservoir interfaces accounts for the decrease of short circuit current at the low concentration regime. The decrease in the thermal conductivity ratio can enhance the TER and TOR. The maximum power density occurring at the nanopore radius twice the Debye length ranges from several to dozens of mW K$^{-2}$ m$^{-2}$ and is an order of magnitude higher than typical thermo-supercapacitors. The surface charge polarity can heavily affect the sign and magnitude of the short-circuit current, the Seebeck coefficient, and the open-circuit thermoosmotic coefficient, but has less effect on the short-circuit thermoosmotic coefficient. Furthermore, the membrane thickness makes different impacts on TER and TOR for zero and finite membrane thermal conductivity., Comment: 38 pages, 10 figures

We attempt to apply the Regge trajectory approach to the heavy-light diquarks composed of one heavy quark and one light quark. However, we find that the direct application of the usual Regge trajectory formula for the heavy-light mesons and baryons fails. In order to correctly estimate the masses of the heavy-light diquarks, it is needed to consider the light quark mass correction and the parameter $C$ in the Cornell potential within the Regge trajectory formula. By using the modified Regge trajectory formulas, we are able to estimate the masses of the heavy-light diquarks $(cu)$, $(cs)$, $(bu)$ and $(bs)$, which agree with other theoretical results. It is illustrated that the heavy-light diquarks satisfy the universal descriptions irrespective of heavy quark flavors, similar to other heavy-light systems such as the heavy-light mesons, the heavy-light baryons composed of one heavy quark (diquark) and one light diquark (quark), and the heavy-light tetraquarks composed of one heavy diquark (antidiquark) and one light antidiquark (diquark). The diquark Regge trajectory provides a new and very simple approach for estimating the spectra of the heavy-light diquarks., Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures, 7 tables

The concept of diquark is important for understanding hadron structure and high-energy particle reactions. We attempt to apply the Regge trajectory approach to the doubly heavy diquarks. We present a method for determining the parameters in the diquark Regge trajectory. The spectra of diquarks $(cc)$, $(bb)$, and $(bc)$ are obtained by using the {\rt} approach and are found to agree with other theoretical results. The diquark Regge trajectory becomes a new and very simple approach for estimating the spectra of diquarks., Comment: 9 pages,3 figures,9 tables

Ionic thermoelectricity in nanochannels has received increasing attention because of its advantages such as high Seebeck coefficient and low cost. However, most studies have focused on dilute simple electrolytes that neglect the effects of finite ion sizes and short-range electrostatic correlation. Here, we reveal a new thermoelectric mechanism arising from the coupling of ion steric effect due to finite ion sizes and ion thermodiffusion in electric double layers, using both theoretical and numerical methods. We show that this mechanism can significantly enhance the thermoelectric response in nanoconfined electrolytes, depending on the properties of electrolytes and nanochannels. Compared to the previously known mechanisms, the new mechanism can increase the Seebeck coefficient by 100\% or even one order of magnitude enhancement under optimal conditions. Moreover, we demonstrate that the short-range electrostatic correlation can help preserve the Seebeck coefficient enhancement in weaker confinement or in more concentrated electrolytes., Comment: 8+18 pages, 5+3 figures, accepted by Nano Letters

Two newly proposed Regge trajectory relations are employed to analyze the heavy-light systems. One of the relations is $M=m_1+m_2+C'+\beta_x\sqrt{x+c_{0x}}$, $(x=l,\,n_r)$. Another reads $M=m_1+C'+\sqrt{\beta_x^2(x+c_{0x})+\frac{4}{3}\sqrt{{\pi}{\beta_x}}m^{3/2}_2(x+c_{0x})^{1/4}}$. $M$ is the bound state mass. $m_1$ and $m_2$ are the masses of the heavy constituent and the light constituent, respectively. $l$ is the orbital angular momentum and $n_r$ is the radial quantum number. $\beta_x$ and $c_{0x}$ are fitted. $m_1$, $m_2$ and $C'$ are input parameters. These two formulas consider both of the masses of heavy constituent and light constituent. We find that the heavy-light diquarks, the heavy-light mesons, the heavy-light baryons and the heavy-light tetraquarks satisfy these two formulas. When applying the first formula, the heavy-light systems satisfy the universal description irrespective of both of the masses of the light constituents and the heavy constituent. When using the second relation, the heavy-light systems satisfy the universal description irrespective of the mass of the heavy constituent. The fitted slopes differ distinctively for the heavy-light mesons, baryons and tetraquarks, respectively. When employing the first relation, the average values of $c_{fn_r}$ ($c_{fl}$) are $1.026$, $0.794$ and $0.553$ ($1.026$, $0.749$ and $0.579$) for the heavy-light mesons, the heavy-light baryons and the heavy-light tetraquarks, respectively. Upon application of the second relation, the mean values of $c_{fn_r}$ ($c_{fl}$) are $1.108$, $0.896$ and $0.647$ ($1.114$, $0.855$ and $0.676$) for the heavy-light mesons, the heavy-light baryons and the heavy-light tetraquarks, respectively. Moreover, the fitted results show that the Regge trajectories for the heavy-light systems are concave downwards in the $(M^2,\,n_r)$ and $(M^2,\,l)$ planes., Comment: 11 pages, 6 figures and 5 tables.

By employing the nonlinear Regge trajectory relation $M=m_R+\beta_x(x+c_{0x})^{2/3}\,\,(x=l,\,n_r)$, we investigate the heavy-heavy systems, such as the doubly heavy diquarks, the doubly heavy mesons, the heavy-heavy baryons, and the heavy-heavy tetraquarks. The fitted Regge trajectories illustrate that these heavy-heavy systems satisfy the above formula and show the existence of an universal description of the heavy-heavy systems. The universality embodies not only the universal behavior $M{\sim}x^{2/3}$ but also the universal parameters. The values of $c_{fn_r}$ and $c_{fl}$ vary with different heavy-heavy systems, but they are close to one. There is an inequality $\beta_{n_r}>\beta_{l}$, and it holds for all the discussed heavy-heavy systems. Moreover, the expression of $\beta_x$ [Eq. (11)] explains its variation with the change of the constituents' masses., Comment: 9 pages, 5 figures and 6 tables

We propose a model-independent ansatz $M={\beta_x}\left(x+c_0\right)^{\nu}+c_1$ ($x=l,\,n_r$) and then use it to fit the orbital and radial pion Regge trajectories without the preset values. It is shown that nonzero $c_1$ is reasonable and acceptable. Nonzero $c_1$ gives an explanation for the nonlinearity of the pion Regge trajectories in the usually employed $(M^2,\,x)$ plane. As $m_R$ or $c_1$ is chosen appropriately, both the orbital and radial pion Regge trajectories are linear in the $((M-m_R)^2,\,x)$ plane whether the $\pi^0$ is included or not on the Regge trajectories. The fitted pion Regge trajectories suggest $0.45\le\nu\le0.5$, which indicates the confining potential $r^a$ with $9/11{\le}a\le1$. Moreover, it is illustrated in the appendix B that $m_R$ can be nonzero for the light nonstrange mesons. We present discussions in the appendix A on the structure of the Regge trajectories plotted in the $(M,\,x)$ plane and on the structure of the Regge trajectories in the $((M-m_R)^2,\,x)$ plane based on the potential models and the string models., Comment: 14 pages, 9 figures, 4 tables.

Let $\mathbb{N}$ be the set of all nonnegative integers. For $S\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ and $n\in \mathbb{N}$, let $R_S(n)$ denote the number of solutions of the equation $n=s_1+s_2$, $s_1,s_2\in S$ and $s_1

We investigate the structure of the meson Regge trajectories based on the quadratic form of the spinless Salpeter-type equation. It is found that the forms of the Regge trajectories depend on the energy region. As the employed Regge trajectory formula does not match the energy region, the fitted parameters neither have explicit physical meanings nor obey the constraints although the fitted Regge trajectory can give the satisfactory predictions if the employed formula is appropriate mathematically. Moreover, the consistency of the Regge trajectories obtained from different approaches is discussed. And the Regge trajectories for different mesons are presented. Finally, we show that the masses of the constituents will come into the slope and explain why the slopes of the fitted linear Regge trajectories vary with different kinds of mesons., Comment: 14 pages, 4 figures, 6 tables.

The identical ideal individual hypothesis is proposed. According to this hypothesis, the identical ideal individuals should be classified into two classes: the bosonic individuals and the fermionic individuals. The bosonic individuals can occupy the same behavior state while the fermionic individuals can not be in the same behavior state. We propose that human beings and many species of animals are fermionic, which can not occupy the same behavior state according to the Pauli exclusion principle. An unified theoretical explanation is given for the natures of two important and seemingly irrelated phenomena in psychology: the existence of the personal space and the behavior differentiation under high population density condition., Comment: 7 pages.

The behavior coordinate system and the ideal individual model are presented. The behavior state of an ideal individual is assumed to be represented by a behavior state function. Based on the ideal individual model, the behavior coordinate system and the quantum probability, a novel quantum theory of psychology is offered here in a different way. It can give some enlightening viewpoints through which some phenomena can be discussed from a different perspective., Comment: 11 pages. Part of the manuscript is rewritten and part of it is added
