description: Plasmonic nanoarrays which support collective surface lattice resonances (SLRs) have become an exciting frontier in plasmonics. Compared with the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in individual particles, these collective modes have appealing advantages such as angle-dependent dispersions and much narrower linewidths. Here, we investigate systematically how the geometry of the lattice affects the SLRs supported by metallic nanoparticles. We present a general theoretical framework from which the various SLR modes of a given geometry can be straightforwardly obtained by a simple comparison of the diffractive order (DO) vectors and orientation of the nanoparticle dipole given by the polarization of the incident field. Our experimental measurements show that while square, hexagonal, rectangular, honeycomb and Lieb lattice arrays have similar spectra near the $Γ$-point ($k=0$), they have remarkably different SLR dispersions. Furthermore, their dispersions are highly dependent on the polarization. Numerical simulations are performed to elucidate the field profiles of the different modes. Our findings extend the diversity of SLRs in plasmonic nanoparticle arrays, and the theoretical framework provides a simple model for interpreting the SLRs features, and vice versa, for designing the geometrical patterns.

description: Considering the interband correlation, we present a generalized multiple-scattering approach of Green's function to investigate the effects of electron-impurity scattering on the density of states in silicene. The reduction of energy gaps in the case of relatively high chemical potential and the transformation of split-off impurity bands into band tails for low chemical potential are found. The dependency of optical conductivity on the impurity concentration is also discussed for frequency within the terahertz regime.

description: As the first paper in a series on the study of the galaxy-galaxy lensing from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (SDSS DR7), we present our image processing pipeline that corrects the systematics primarily introduced by the Point Spread Function (PSF). Using this pipeline, we processed SDSS DR7 imaging data in $r$ band and generated a background galaxy catalog containing the shape information of each galaxy. Based on our own shape measurements of the galaxy images from SDSS DR7, we extract the galaxy-galaxy (GG) lensing signals around foreground spectroscopic galaxies binned in different luminosity and stellar mass. The overall signals are in good agreement with those obtained by \citet{Mandelbaum2005, Mandelbaum2006} from the SDSS DR4. The results in this paper with higher signal to noise ratio is due to the larger survey area than SDSS DR4, confirm that more luminous/massive galaxies bear stronger GG lensing signal. We also divide the foreground galaxies into red/blue and star forming/quenched subsamples and measured their GG lensing signals, respectively. We find that, at a specific stellar mass/luminosity, the red/quenched galaxies have relatively stronger GG lensing signals than their counterparts especially at large radii. These GG lensing signals can be used to probe the galaxy-halo mass relations and their environmental dependences in the halo occupation or conditional luminosity function framework.

Supernova enrichment of planetary systems in low-mass star clusters

description: The presence and abundance of short lived radioisotopes (SLRs) $^{26}$Al and $^{60}$Fe in chondritic meteorites implies that the Sun formed in the vicinity of one or more massive stars that exploded as supernovae (SNe). Massive stars are more likely to form in massive star clusters ($>$1000 M$_{\odot}$) than lower mass clusters. However, photoevaporation of protoplanetary discs from massive stars and dynamical interactions with passing stars can inhibit planet formation in clusters with radii of $\sim$1 pc. We investigate whether low-mass (50 - 200 M$_{\odot}$) star clusters containing one or two massive stars are a more likely avenue for early Solar system enrichment as they are more dynamically quiescent. We analyse $N$-body simulations of the evolution of these low-mass clusters and find that a similar fraction of stars experience supernova enrichment than in high mass clusters, despite their lower densities. This is due to two-body relaxation, which causes a significant expansion before the first supernova even in clusters with relatively low (100 stars pc$^{-3}$) initial densities. However, because of the high number of low mass clusters containing one or two massive stars, the absolute number of enriched stars is the same, if not higher than for more populous clusters. Our results show that direct enrichment of protoplanetary discs from supernovae occurs as frequently in low mass clusters containing one or two massive stars (>20 M$_{\odot}$) as in more populous star clusters (1000 M$_\odot$). This relaxes the constraints on the direct enrichment scenario and therefore the birth environment of the Solar System.

Clumpy galaxies seen in H-alpha: inflated observed clump properties due to limited spatial resolution and sensitivity

description: High-resolution simulations of star-forming massive galactic discs have shown that clumps form with a characteristic baryonic mass in the range $10^7-10^8~M_{\odot}$, with a small tail exceeding $10^9~M_{\odot}$ produced by clump-clump mergers. This is in contrast with the observed kpc-size clumps with masses up to $10^{10}~M_{\odot}$ in high-redshift star-forming galaxies. In this paper we show that the comparison between simulated and observed star-forming clumps is hindered by limited observational spatial resolution and sensitivity. We post-process high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations of clumpy discs using accurate radiative transfer to model the effect of ionizing radiation from young stars and to compute H$α$ emission maps. By comparing the intrinsic clump size and mass distributions with those inferred from convolving the H$α$ maps with different gaussian apertures, we mimick the typical resolution used in observations. We found that with 100 pc resolution, mock observations can recover the intrinsic clump radii and stellar masses, in agreement with those found by lensing observations. Instead, using a 1 kpc resolution smears out individual clumps, resulting in their apparent merging. This causes significant overestimations of the clump radii and, therefore, masses derived using methods that use their observed sizes. We show that limited sensitivity can also force observations to significantly overestimate the clump masses. We conclude that a significant fraction of giant clumps detected in the observations may result from artificially inflated radii and masses, and that $\approx 100$ pc spatial resolution is required to capture correctly the physical characteristics of star-forming clumps if they are coherent structures produced by disc fragmentation.

description: We discovered a new transmodal Fabry-Pérot resonance that one elastic-wave mode is maximally transmitted to another when the phase difference of two dissimilar modes through an anisotropic layer is exactly odd multiples of π. Unlike the well-established Fabry-Pérot resonance, the transmodal resonance must involve two coupled elastic-wave modes, longitudinal and shear. The formation of wiggly transmodal transmission spectra is due to structural instability appearing in anisotropic mode-coupled elastic-media. Experiments with elastic metamaterials confirmed our findings which can play a critical role in shear-mode ultrasound applications.

description: Weak shocks in the intracluster medium may accelerate cosmic-ray protons and cosmic-ray electrons differently depending on the angle between the upstream magnetic field and the shock normal. In this work, we investigate how shock obliquity affects the production of cosmic rays in high-resolution simulations of galaxy clusters. For this purpose, we performed a magneto-hydrodynamical simulation of a galaxy cluster using the mesh refinement code \enzo. We use Lagrangian tracers to follow the properties of the thermal gas, the cosmic rays and the magnetic fields over time. We tested a number of different acceleration scenarios by varying the obliquity-dependent acceleration efficiencies of protons and electrons, and by examining the resulting hadronic $γ$-ray and radio emission. We find that the radio emission does not change significantly if only quasi-perpendicular shocks are able to accelerate cosmic-ray electrons. Our analysis suggests that radio emitting electrons found in relics have been typically shocked many times before $z=0$. On the other hand, the hadronic $γ$-ray emission from clusters is found to decrease significantly if only quasi-parallel shocks are allowed to accelerate cosmic-ray protons. This might reduce the tension with the low upper limits on $γ$-ray emission from clusters set by the \textit{Fermi}-satellite.

description: The ability to troubleshoot is an important learning outcome for undergraduate physics laboratory courses. To better understand the role of troubleshooting in electronics laboratory courses, we interviewed 20 electronics instructors from multiple institution types about their beliefs and teaching practices related to troubleshooting. In these interviews, instructors articulated the idea that \emph{nothing works the first time} in multiple contexts pertaining to troubleshooting. We argue that this idea is an expert epistemology and show how it informs instructors' beliefs that (i) students need to know how to troubleshoot, (ii) students should expect to troubleshoot, (iii) all circuit-building lab activities provide opportunities for students to troubleshoot, and (iv) students' ability to construct functional circuits can be a proxy for their ability to troubleshoot malfunctioning circuits. Moreover, we discuss implications for instruction and assessment of troubleshooting in electronics courses.

L'Ottava Isola: studies on music, heritage and cultural identity between Sicily and Sydney
Creators: name: Garigliano, Cristoforo
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This study presents the results of a research on the relationships between music, heritage and cultural identity, focusing the attention on the Sicilian migrant community in Sydney. Chapter one has been designed to introduce the unfamiliar reader to basic information on Sicily, Sicilian history and society, history of migration (including to Australia) and statistics. Chapter two presents the theoretical framework which sustains this thesis and includes an overview of selected anthropology and ethnomusicology studies on Sicilian folk. The chapter concludes in reporting the field and desk research I undertook in order to initiate field research, both in Sicily and Sydney. Chapter three presents my on site research on musical activity in Sicily, with special focus on the localities where most of the migrants to Sydney originated. This research was undertaken previous to my arrival to Australia. Chapter four presents the results of my Australian research, divided into different sections, corresponding to different contexts music is played in and to different genres. The Chapter ends with study cases on two musicians and on two concerts, the reflections upon which lay the foundation for the global analysis of the material found, which will be the main theme of the next Chapter. Chapter five is divided into four sections: starting from a categorization of the music and musicians found I pass to analysing such material in terms of political, cultural and social class consciousness. I indicate how these levels of consciousness shift from Italy to Australia and finally how Australian culture has contributed to the creation of a new 'Sicilianess', incorporating both archaic elements, drawn from the country of origin, and new elements, from the new homeland. The conclusions (Chapter six) expand on analysing the ways in which the historical, cultural and political contexts present in Australia at the time of migration shaped the cultural identity (and the music) of the Sicilian migrants. This chapter ends with a proposed identification of the processes which Sicilian cultural heritage has undergone since mass migration to Australia, also seeking to point the attention towards possible further directions of research on this topic.

description: Nearly every star known to host planets will become a white dwarf, and nearly 100 planet-hosts are now known to be accompanied by binary stellar companions. Here, we determine how a binary companion triggers instability in otherwise unconditionally stable single-star two-planet systems during the giant branch and white dwarf phases of the planet host. We perform about 700 full-lifetime (14 Gyr) simulations with A0 and F0 primary stars and secondary K2 companions, and identify the critical binary distance within which instability is triggered at any point during stellar evolution. We estimate this distance to be about seven times the outer planet separation, for circular binaries. Our results help characterize the fates of planetary systems, and in particular which ones might yield architectures that are conducive to generating observable heavy metal pollution in white dwarf atmospheres.

Grounded Fixpoints and Active Integrity Constraints
Creators: name: Cruz-Filipe, Luís
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Databases (cs.DB)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The formalism of active integrity constraints was introduced as a way to specify particular classes of integrity constraints over relational databases together with preferences on how to repair existing inconsistencies. The rule-based syntax of such integrity constraints also provides algorithms for finding such repairs that achieve the best asymptotic complexity. However, the different semantics that have been proposed for these integrity constraints all exhibit some counter-intuitive examples. In this work, we look at active integrity constraints using ideas from algebraic fixpoint theory. We show how database repairs can be modeled as fixpoints of particular operators on databases, and study how the notion of grounded fixpoint induces a corresponding notion of grounded database repair that captures several natural intuitions, and in particular avoids the problems of previous alternative semantics. In order to study grounded repairs in their full generality, we need to generalize the notion of grounded fixpoint to non-deterministic operators. We propose such a definition and illustrate its plausibility in the database context.

description: We propose an experimentally feasible scheme for dissipative preparation of tripartite entangled state with atoms separately trapped in an array of three coupled cavities. The combination of coherent driving fields and quantum-jump-based feedback control will drive the system into a non-equilibrium steady state, which has a nearly perfect overlap with the genuine three-atom singlet state. Different control strategies are investigated and the corresponding optimal parameters are confirmed. Moreover, the fidelity of target state is insensitive to detection inefficiencies, and it oversteps 90\% for a wide range of decoherence parameters as long as the single-atom cooperativity parameter $C\equiv g^2/(γκ)>350$.

description: Unitary, Lorentz-invariant quantum field theories in flat spacetime obey microcausality: commutators vanish at spacelike separation. For interacting theories in more than two dimensions, we show that this implies that the averaged null energy, $\int du T_{uu}$, must be positive. This non-local operator appears in the operator product expansion of local operators in the lightcone limit, and therefore contributes to $n$-point functions. We derive a sum rule that isolates this contribution and is manifestly positive. The argument also applies to certain higher spin operators other than the stress tensor, generating an infinite family of new constraints of the form $\int du X_{uuu\cdots u} \geq 0$. These lead to new inequalities for the coupling constants of spinning operators in conformal field theory, which include as special cases (but are generally stronger than) the existing constraints from the lightcone bootstrap, deep inelastic scattering, conformal collider methods, and relative entropy. We also comment on the relation to the recent derivation of the averaged null energy condition from relative entropy, and suggest a more general connection between causality and information-theoretic inequalities in QFT.

From Drug Resistance to Donuts: Applied Epidemiology in the Australian Capital Territory
Creators: name: Allen, Keeley
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2022

description: This volume presents four projects and additional public health experiences satisfying the competencies of my Master of Philosophy (Applied Epidemiology) conducted through my field placement at ACT Health's Communicable Disease Control Branch. These projects comprise of two outbreak investigations, an outbreak of the B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant of SARS-CoV-2 in a high school setting and a food-borne gastroenteritis outbreak associated with donuts from a single bakery; an epidemiological investigation into factors associated with a willingness to receive a COVID-19 booster vaccine among migrants in Australia born in the World Health Organization's Eastern Mediterranean Region; design of a surveillance system to add the multidrug-resistant organisms carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) as a notifiable condition in the ACT; and a descriptive and spatial analysis of hepatitis C notifications in the ACT over a ten-year period. The two final chapters of this thesis describe my experiences teaching epidemiology and other key public health activities of my field placement, including a secondment to ACT Health COVID-19 Operations branch, establishment of a surveillance and case management system for monkeypox virus, evaluating a letter program for GPs diagnosing hepatitis C in their patients, development of interactive dashboards for notifiable conditions, and introducing applied epidemiology to a high school class. The findings from my projects and the outputs of these additional experiences contribute to the body of knowledge for applied epidemiology and inform public health decision making and action.

Molecular phylogeny, generic delineation, and historical biogeography of Cryptocheilus Panzer, 1806 and Heterodontonyx Haupt, 1935 with taxonomic revision of Australian species using mitochondrial genes, the ribosomal operon and UCE loci

description: Pompilidae is a family of solitary wasps with more than 5000 species worldwide and approximately 260 in Australia. Despite their diversity and ubiquity, their taxonomy is poorly understood in many regions, including Australia. Pompilids are represented in Australia by three subfamilies: the Ceropalinae, Pompilinae and Pepsinae, this last one is the most diverse and includes 22 Australian genera. Two Pepsinae genera, Cryptocheilus and Heterodontonyx, have had a problematic taxonomic history due to their morphological similarity and affinities to the Palaearctic genera. My project aims to: 1-delineate the two morphologically similar Cryptocheilus and Heterodontonyx, 2- build a molecular phylogeny of Cryptocheilus and closely related genera, 3- to reconstruct the historical biogeography of the genera, and 4- to provide a taxonomic revision of the Australian species. Phylogenetic analyses show that all species from Australia previously known as Cryptocheilus and Heterodontonyx form a single clade, which is not sister to the world Cryptocheilus , a clade containing the type species of the genus. Therefore, all Australian species should be considered Heterodontonyx. This clade is found in Australia, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and New Zealand and is sister to Cyphononyx. The distribution of Cryptocheilus is limited to the west side of Wallace's line as hypothesized by Wahis (2008). Biogeographical results suggest that the majority of events producing their current distribution are dispersal and founder events. In the process of taxonomic revision, I have come up with four new sex associations, one new species, six new combinations, and several new records.

Gravitational wave sources in the era of multi-frequency gravitational wave astronomy

description: The focus of this Chapter is on describing the prospective sources of the gravitational wave universe accessible to present and future observations, from kHz, to mHz down to nano-Hz frequencies. The multi-frequency gravitational wave universe gives a deep view into the cosmos, inaccessible otherwise. It has as main actors core-collapsing massive stars, neutron stars, coalescing compact object binaries of different flavours and stellar origin, coalescing massive black hole binaries, extreme mass ratio inspirals, and possibly the very early universe itself. Here, we highlight the science aims and describe the gravitational wave signals expected from the sources and the information gathered in it. We show that the observation of gravitational wave sources will play a transformative role in our understanding of the processes ruling the formation and evolution of stars and black holes, galaxy clustering and evolution, the nature of the strong forces in neutron star interiors, and the most mysterious interaction of Nature: gravity. The discovery, by the LIGO Scientific Collaboration and Virgo Collaboration, of the first source of gravitational waves from the cosmos GW150914, and the superb technological achievement of the space mission LISA Pathfinder herald the beginning of the new phase of exploration of the universe.

Magnetic-anisotropy induced spin blockade in a single-molecule transistor

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: We present a new mechanism for a spin blockade effect associated with a change in the type of magnetic anisotropy over oxidation state in a single molecule transistor, by taking an example of an individual Eu$_{2}$(C$_{8}$H$_{8}$)$_{3}$ molecule weakly coupled to non-magnetic electrodes without linker groups. The molecule switches its magnetization direction from in-plane to out-of-plane when it is charged. In other words, the magnetic anisotropy of the molecule changes from easy plane to easy axis when the molecule is charged. By solving the master equation based on model Hamiltonian, we find that current through the molecule is highly suppressed at low bias independently of gate voltage due to the interplay between spin selection rules and the change in the type of magnetic anisotropy. Transitions between the lowest magnetic levels in successive charge states are forbidden because the magnetic levels differ by $|ΔM| > 1/2$ due to the change in the type of magnetic anisotropy, although the total spins differ by $|ΔS|=1/2$. This current suppression can be lifted by significant B field, and the threshold B field varies as a function of the field direction and the strength of magnetic anisotropy. The spin blockade effect shed light on switching the magnetization direction by non-spin-polarized current and on exploring effects of this property coupled to other molecular degrees of freedom.

description: With the decrease of the dimensions of electronic devices, the role played by electrical contacts is ever increasing, eventually coming to dominate the overall device volume and total resistance. This is especially problematic for monolayers of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), which are promising candidates for atomically thin electronics. Ideal electrical contacts to them would require the use of similarly thin electrode materials while maintaining low contact resistances. Here we report a scalable method to fabricate ohmic graphene edge contacts to two representative monolayer TMDs - MoS2 and WS2. The graphene and TMD layer are laterally connected with wafer-scale homogeneity, no observable overlap or gap, and a low average contact resistance of 30 k$Ω$ $μ$m. The resulting graphene edge contacts show linear current-voltage (IV) characteristics at room temperature, with ohmic behavior maintained down to liquid helium temperatures.

Anomalous cooling and heating - the Mpemba effect and its inverse

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Under certain conditions, it takes a shorter time to cool a hot system than to cool the same system initiated at a lower temperature. This phenomenon - the "Mpemba Effect" - is well known in water, and has recently been observed in other systems as well. However, there is no single generic mechanism that explains this counter-intuitive behavior. Using the theoretical framework of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, we present a widely applicable mechanism for this effect, derive a sufficient condition for its appearance in Markovian dynamics, and predict an inverse Mpemba effect in heating: under proper conditions, a cold system can heat up faster than the same system initiated at a higher temperature. Our results suggest that it should be possible to observe the Mpemba effect and its inverse in a variety of systems, where they have never been demonstrated before.
