Can Quintessence Be the Rolling Tachyon？

In the light of the recent works by Sen(hep-th/o203211,hep-th/0203265,hep-th/0204143)and Gibbons(hepth/0204008),we present a phase-plane analysis on the cosmology containing a rolling tachyon field in a potential resulting from string theory.we show that there is no stable point on the phase-plane,which indicates that there is a coincidence problem if we consider the tachyon as a candidate for quintessence.Furthermore,we also analyse the phase-plane of the cosmology cotaining a rolling tachyon field for an exactly solvable toy potential in which the critical point is stable.Therefore,it is possible for the rolling tachyon to be a candidate for quintessence if we give up the strict constraint on the potential or find a more appropriate effective potential for the tachyon from M/String theory.     

Fabrication of Intrinsic Josephson Junctions on BI2Sr2CaCu2O8＋δ Single Crystals with Reproducible Surface Junctions

Intrinsic Josephson junctions on Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 δ single crystals are successfully fabricated using photolithography and Ar jon milling .Here we discuss the properties of the surface CuO2/metal bilayers and surface junctions prepared with different crystal cleavage conditions and metal film deposition techniques.We show that,by cleaving the crystal at liquid nitrogen temperature in vacuum,the contents of the (interstitial) oxygen in the Bi-O layers become stable upon cleavage,leading to a CuO2/metal bilayer and to surface junctions with reproducible properites,These results can be useful for practical device fabrications as well as for the studies of the contact properties between high Tc superconductors and normal metals.
