Local Normal Mode Coupling and Energy Band Splitting in Elliptically Birefringent 1D Magnetophotonic Crystals

description: An analysis is presented of wave-vector dispersion in elliptically birefringent stratified magneto-optic media having one-dimensional periodicity. It is found that local normal-mode polarization-state differences between adjacent layers lead to mode coupling and impact the wave-vector dispersion and the character of the Bloch states of the system. This coupling produces extra terms in the dispersion relation not present in uniform circularly birefringent magneto-optic stratified media. Normal mode coupling lifts the degeneracy at frequency band cross-over points under certain conditions and induces a magnetization-dependent optical band gap. This study examines the conditions for band gap formation in the system. It shows that such a frequency-split can be characterized by a simple coupling parameter that depends on the relation between polarization states of local normal modes in adjacent layers. The character of the Bloch states and conditions for maximizing the strength of the band splitting in these systems are analyzed.

description: We present a study of GaN single-nanowire ultraviolet photodetectors with an embedded GaN/AlN superlattice. The heterostructure dimensions and doping profile were designed in such a way that the application of positive or negative bias leads to an enhancement of the collection of photogenerated carriers from the GaN/AlN superlattice or from the GaN base, respectively, as confirmed by electron beam-induced current measurements. The devices display enhanced response in the ultraviolet A ($\approx$ 330-360 nm) / B ($\approx$ 280-330 nm) spectral windows under positive/negative bias. The result is explained by correlation of the photocurrent measurements with scanning transmission electron microscopy observations of the same single nanowire, and semi-classical simulations of the strain and band structure in one and three dimensions.

description: Deconfined regions created in heavy ion collisions are bordered by the confined phase. We discuss boundary conditions (BCs) to model a cold exterior. Monte Carlo simulations of pure SU(3) lattice gauge theory with thus inspired BCs show scaling. Corrections to usual results survive in the finite volume continuum limit and we estimate them in a range from L=5-10 fermi as function of the volume size $L^3$. In magnitude these corrections are comparable to those obtained by including quarks.

description: The Gemini Planet Imager Exoplanet Survey (GPIES) is a multi-year direct imaging survey of 600 stars to discover and characterize young Jovian exoplanets and their environments. We have developed an automated data architecture to process and index all data related to the survey uniformly. An automated and flexible data processing framework, which we term the Data Cruncher, combines multiple data reduction pipelines together to process all spectroscopic, polarimetric, and calibration data taken with GPIES. With no human intervention, fully reduced and calibrated data products are available less than an hour after the data are taken to expedite follow-up on potential objects of interest. The Data Cruncher can run on a supercomputer to reprocess all GPIES data in a single day as improvements are made to our data reduction pipelines. A backend MySQL database indexes all files, which are synced to the cloud, and a front-end web server allows for easy browsing of all files associated with GPIES. To help observers, quicklook displays show reduced data as they are processed in real-time, and chatbots on Slack post observing information as well as reduced data products. Together, the GPIES automated data processing architecture reduces our workload, provides real-time data reduction, optimizes our observing strategy, and maintains a homogeneously reduced dataset to study planet occurrence and instrument performance.

A new quasi exactly solvable difference equation is constructed by crossing these two dynamics, that is, the quadratic potential function of the continuous Hahn polynomial is multiplied by the constant phase factor of the Meixner-Pollaczek type. Its ordinary quantum mechanical counterpart, if exists, does not seem to be known.

Title

Wikidata as a FAIR and multilingual interface to the research ecosystem

 

Abstract

The practice of data sharing is slowly but surely reaching further and deeper into scholarly realms, and an increasing share of such data meets at least some of the FAIR Principles. On that basis, it is increasingly possible for research data to be found and used by people and processes with no close relationship to the original research context, which opens up both opportunities and challenges. This contribution focuses on opportunities, specifically those provided by integrating research resources with Wikidata, a FAIR and public-domain database providing general reference information spanning all domains of scholarly knowledge. Aligned with thousands of databases and with terminologies in many languages, it can serve as a multilingual interface to the research ecosystem, including to resources originally available in a very small number of languages or even just one.

We derive an upper bound for the diameter of $G_{m,n,k}$ using an arithmetic parameter called the \textit{weight}, which depends on $n$, $k$, and the order of $k$. As an application, we show how this would determine a bound on the diameter of an arbitrary metacyclic group.

description: The problem of determining extremal hypergraphs containing at most r isomorphic copies of some element of a given hypergraph family was first studied by Boros et al. in 2001. There are not many hypergraph families for which exact results are known concerning the size of the corresponding extremal hypergraphs, except for those equivalent to the classical Turan numbers. In this paper, we determine the size of extremal k-uniform hypergraphs containing at most one pair of 2-intersecting edges for k in {3,4}. We give a complete solution when k=3 and an almost complete solution (with eleven exceptions) when k=4.

description: We introduce a novel anomaly search method based on (i) jet tagging to select interesting events, which are less likely to be produced by background processes; (ii) comparison of the untagged and tagged samples to single out features (such as bumps produced by the decay of new particles) in the latter. We demonstrate the usefulness of this method by applying it to a final state with two massive boosted jets: for the new physics benchmarks considered, the signal significance increases an order of magnitude, up to a factor of 40. We compare to other anomaly detection methods in the literature and discuss possible generalisations.

Spectral weight transfer in a disorder-broadened Landau level

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Disordered Systems and Neural Networks (cond-mat.dis-nn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In the absence of disorder, the degeneracy of a Landau level (LL) is $N=BA/ϕ_0$, where $B$ is the magnetic field, $A$ is the area of the sample and $ϕ_0=h/e$ is the magnetic flux quantum. With disorder, localized states appear at the top and bottom of the broadened LL, while states in the center of the LL (the critical region) remain delocalized. This well-known phenomenology is sufficient to explain most aspects of the Integer Quantum Hall Effect (IQHE) [1]. One unnoticed issue is where the new states appear as the magnetic field is increased. Here we demonstrate that they appear predominantly inside the critical region. This leads to a certain ``spectral ordering'' of the localized states that explains the stripes observed in measurements of the local inverse compressibility [2-3], of two-terminal conductance [4], and of Hall and longitudinal resistances [5] without invoking interactions as done in previous work [6-8].

description: The NEWS-G direct dark matter search experiment uses spherical proportional counters (SPC) with light noble gases to explore low WIMP masses. The first results obtained with an SPC prototype operated with Ne gas at the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane (LSM) have already set competitive results for low-mass WIMPs. The forthcoming next phase of the experiment consists of a large 140 cm diameter SPC installed at SNOLAB with a new sensor design, with improved detector performance and data quality. Before its installation at SNOLAB, the detector was commissioned with pure methane gas at the LSM, with a temporary water shield, offering a hydrogen-rich target and reduced backgrounds. After giving an overview of the improvements of the detector, preliminary results of this campaign will be discussed, including UV laser and Ar-37 calibration data.

description: Binary stars ubiquitous throughout the universe are important. Contact binaries (CBs) possessing Period-Luminosity (PL) relations could be adopted as distance tracers. The PL relations of CBs are influenced by metallicity abundance and color index, which are connected to both the radius and luminosity of stars. Here we propose fine relations of Period-Luminosity-Metallicity-Color (PLZC) from the ultraviolet to infrared bands based on current surveys. The accuracy of the distance estimation is 6\% and 8\%, respectively, depending on the PLZC relations of the CBs in the infrared and optical bands of the collected data. PLZC models are still more accurate than PLC models in determining intrinsic luminosity, notwithstanding their limited improvement. Meanwhile, these relations based on synthetic photometry are also calibrated. On the basis of the synthetic photometry, a 6\% accuracy of distance is estimated. The measured or synthetic data of PLZC or PLC relations in infrared bands comes first in the list of suggestions for distance estimations, and is followed by the measured data of optical bands.

description: The thermoelectric performance of a topological energy converter is analyzed. The H-shaped device is based on a combination of transverse topological effects involving the spin: the inverse spin Hall effect and the spin Nernst effect. The device can convert a temperature drop in one arm into an electric power output in the other arm. Analytical expressions for the output voltage, the figure-of-merit (ZT) and energy converting efficiency are reported. We show that the output voltage and the ZT can be tuned by the geometry of the device and the physical properties of the material. Importantly, contrary to a conventional thermoelectric device, here a low electric conductivity may in fact enhance the ZT value, thereby opening a path to new strategies in optimizing the figure-of-merit.

Creators: name: Burns, Laura
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2021

description: This practice-based PhD situates itself within the current global environmental crisis, considering a reorientation to land from queer feminist and decolonial perspectives. The project evolves around a series of visions which took place in July 2015, at the River Wyre in Pendle, Lancashire, the location of the infamous 1612 witch-hunts. The visions, as a central theory of the thesis, are engaged through relational embodied practices and performances to explore a mode of animacy emanating with and from the nonhuman and human ancestors. The thesis addresses ways of including the nonhuman ancestors (specifically river, stone) within the political, moving through and beyond biosemiotics, materialist approaches and politics of recognition, re-orienting to land as pedagogy and the emergence of a grounded ethics. The project works with Elizabeth Povinelli’s articulation of geontopower, to question how collaborative processes of human-nonhuman witnessing might produce an emergent ethics necessary in the context of late liberal, colonial-capitalism’s production of racial, gender, environmental and epistemological violence. Central to this investigation is the role of voice and language and its entangled animacy with land and the nonhuman, explored through critical thinking around the visions, settler-colonial dynamics, and site-specific research. The figure of the stone-womxn, a collective of human-nonhuman existents experienced through the visions, calls for an immaterial and spiritual labour which prioritises the generative potential of dissolution rather than (re)-production, representation, accumulation or inevitability of bringing the immaterial into materiality. The first phase of practice (2015-2017) is punctuated by choreographic work for stage, one-on-one durational performance and site-specific performance. The second phase (2018-2019) emerges an ongoing collaborative practice with the river stones I term the unearthings, and a series of land ceremonies at the river during summer 2019 held under the project name Ceremony House.
NEXUS OF GREEN GOVERNANCE AND SUSTAINABILITY PERFORMANCE IN NIGERIA'S ENERGY SECTOR: AN EMERGING PARADIGM

description: Abstract

This paper considers the concept of green governance as a reactionary effort or response to the environmental consequences arising from the exploitative human interaction with the elements of nature. The present industrial revolution has increased the level of production, heightened companies' profit margins and resulted in environmental hazards. Additionally, the chain of manufacturing to consumption has resulted in environmental degradation, ozone depletion and the destruction of traditional livelihoods for most economies of the world. Through empirical evidence from relevant literature, this study finds that Nigeria’s energy sector accounts for 90% of the total export volume and is the major contributor to environmental degradation; hence, the implementation of green governance and sustainability performance should be championed by the energy firms. To this end, the stakeholder theory is used to analyse a model of synergy between stakeholders to implement green governance. Nonetheless, green governance practices among these energy firms are very low compared to other developed countries such as the United Kingdom, Russia, China, and Germany. This paper concludes by providing viable future research discourses which would add to the sum of knowledge on green governance practices in Nigeria.

description: We present new optical spectroscopy and photometry, 2MASS infrared observations and 24 years of combined AAVSO and AFOEV photometry of the symbiotic star candidate æ. The long-term light curve is characterized by outbursts lasting several years and having a slow decline of $\sim 2 \times 10^{-4}$ mag/day. The whole range of variability of the star in the $V$ band is about 4 magnitudes. The periodogram of the photometric data reveals strong signals at $\sim$ 342 and 171 days. The presence of the emission feature at $λ$ 6830 Åat minimum and the detection of absorption lines of a $\sim$ K5 type star confirm the symbiotic classification and suggest that AE Cir is a new member of the small group of s-type yellow symbiotic stars. We estimate a distance of 9.4 kpc. Our spectrum taken at the high state shows a much flatter spectral energy distribution, the disappearance of the $λ$ 6830 Åemission feature and the weakness of the He II 4686 emission relative to the Balmer emission lines. Our observations indicate the presence of emission line flickering in time scales of minutes in 2001. The peculiar character of æis revealed in the visibility of the secondary star at the high and low state, the light curve resembling a dwarf nova superoutburst and the relatively short low states. The data are hard to reconciliate with standard models for symbiotic star outbursts.

description: We disclose an unanticipated link between plasmonics and nonlinear frequency down-conversion in laser-induced gas-plasmas. For two-color femtosecond pump pulses, a plasmonic resonance is shown to broaden the terahertz emission spectra significantly. We identify the resonance as a leaky mode, which contributes to the emission spectra whenever electrons are excited along a direction where the plasma size is smaller than the plasma wavelength. As a direct consequence, such resonances can be controlled by changing the polarization properties of elliptically-shaped driving laser pulses. Both, experimental results and 3D Maxwell consistent simulations confirm that a significant terahertz pulse shortening and spectral broadening can be achieved by exploiting the transverse driving laser beam shape as an additional degree of freedom.
An improved calculation of the isospin-symmetry-breaking corrections to superallowed Fermi beta decay

description: We report new shell-model calculations of the isospin-symmetry-breaking correction to superallowed nuclear beta decay. The most important improvement is the inclusion of core orbitals, which are demonstrated to have a significant impact on the mismatch in the radial wave functions of the parent and daughter states. We determine which core orbitals are important to include from an examination of measured spectroscopic factors in single-nucleon pick-up reactions. We also examine the new radiative-correction calculation by Marciano and Sirlin and, by a simple reorganization, show that it is possible to preserve the conventional separation into a nucleus-independent inner radiative term and a nucleus-dependent outer term. We tabulate new values for the three theoretical corrections for twenty superallowed transitions, including the thirteen well-studied cases. With these new correction terms the corrected Ft values for the thirteen cases are statistically consistent with one another and the anomalousness of the 46V result disappears. These new calculations lead to a lower average Ft value and a higher value of Vud. The sum of squares of the top-row elements of the CKM matrix now agrees exactly with unitarity.

Calculating hard probe radiative energy loss beyond soft-gluon approximation: Examining the approximation validity

description: The soft-gluon approximation, which implies that radiated gluon carries away a small fraction of initial parton's energy, is a commonly used assumption in calculating radiative energy loss of high momentum partons traversing QGP created at RHIC and LHC. While soft-gluon approximation is convenient, different theoretical approaches reported significant radiative energy loss of high $p_{\perp}$ partons, thereby questioning its validity. To address this issue, we relaxed the soft-gluon approximation within DGLV formalism. The obtained analytical expressions are quite distinct compared to the soft-gluon case. However, numerical results for the first order in opacity fractional energy loss lead to small differences in predictions for the two cases. The difference in the predicted number of radiated gluons is also small. Moreover, the effect on these two variables has an opposite sign, which when combined results in almost overlapping suppression predictions. Therefore, our results imply that, contrary to the commonly held doubts, the soft-gluon approximation in practice works surprisingly well in DGLV formalism. Finally, we also discuss generalizing this relaxation in the dynamical QCD medium, which suggests a more general applicability of the conclusions obtained here.

description: Regular semisimple Hessenberg varieties are a family of subvarieties of the flag variety that arise in number theory, numerical analysis, representation theory, algebraic geometry, and combinatorics. We give a "Giambelli formula" expressing the classes of regular semisimple Hessenberg varieties in terms of Chern classes. In fact, we show that the cohomology class of each regular semisimple Hessenberg variety is the specialization of a certain double Schubert polynomial, giving a natural geometric interpretation to such specializations. We also decompose such classes in terms of the Schubert basis for the cohomology ring of the flag variety. The coefficients obtained are nonnegative, and we give closed combinatorial formulas for the coefficients in many cases. We introduce a closely related family of schemes called regular nilpotent Hessenberg schemes, and use our results to determine when such schemes are reduced.

description: Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) exposed to low frequency magnetic fields have shown promise in enhancing biological processes, such as cellular reprogramming. Despite the experimental evidence, a comprehensive understanding of the underlying physical principles and the corresponding theory remains elusive. The most common hypothesis is that functionalized nanoparticles transiently amplify magnetic fields, leading to improved cellular reprogramming efficiency. However, a detailed investigation on this topic is lacking. This paper bridges this knowledge gap by conducting a comprehensive investigation on the magnetic response of surface-modified AuNPs exposed to magnetic fields with frequencies up to hundreds of MHz. Starting with the inherent properties of bulk gold material, we explore a wide range of magnetic susceptibilities that might result from the redistribution of charge carriers due to bond molecules on the particle surfaces. Through analytical models and numerical electromagnetic simulations, we examine various geometric factors that can enhance the magnetic response, including the number of particles, spatial distribution, size, and shape. Our broad investigation provides researchers with analytical and numerical estimates of the magnetic response of nanoparticles, and the associated limits that can be expected. We found that a magnetic field enhancement comparable to the incident field requires very high magnetic susceptibilities, well beyond the values measured in functionalized gold nanoparticles thus far.

description: We propose a simple subsampling scheme for fast randomized approximate computation of optimal transport distances. This scheme operates on a random subset of the full data and can use any exact algorithm as a black-box back-end, including state-of-the-art solvers and entropically penalized versions. It is based on averaging the exact distances between empirical measures generated from independent samples from the original measures and can easily be tuned towards higher accuracy or shorter computation times. To this end, we give non-asymptotic deviation bounds for its accuracy in the case of discrete optimal transport problems. In particular, we show that in many important instances, including images (2D-histograms), the approximation error is independent of the size of the full problem. We present numerical experiments that demonstrate that a very good approximation in typical applications can be obtained in a computation time that is several orders of magnitude smaller than what is required for exact computation of the full problem.

description: We investigate the massive star content of NGC 3603, the closest known giant H II region. We have obtained spectra of 26 stars in the central cluster using the Baade 6.5-m telescope (Magellan I). Of these 26 stars, 16 had no previous spectroscopy. We also obtained photometry of all of the stars with previous or new spectroscopy, primarily using archival HST ACS/HRC images. We use these data to derive an improved distance to the cluster, and to construct an H-R diagram for discussing the masses and ages of the massive star content of this cluster.

description: Wave scattering from two-dimensional self-affine Dirichlet and Neumann surfaces is studied for the purpose of using the intensity scattered from them to obtain the Hurst exponent and topothesy that characterize the self-affine roughness. By the use of the Kirchhoff approximation a closed form mathematical expression for the angular dependence of the mean differential reflection coefficient is derived under the assumption that the surface is illuminated by a plane incident wave. It is shown that this quantity can be expressed in terms of the isotropic, bivariate ($α$-stable) Lévy distribution of a stability parameter that is two times the Hurst exponent of the underlying surface. Features of the expression for the mean differential reflection coefficient are discussed, and its predictions compare favorably over large regions of parameter space to results obtained from rigorous computer simulations based on equations of scattering theory. It is demonstrated how the Hurst exponent and the topothesy of the self-affine surface can be inferred from scattering data it produces. Finally several possible scattering configurations are discussed that allow for an efficient extraction of these self-affine parameters.
