description: We revisited the unusual wind in GRO J1655-40 detected with Chandra in 2005 April, using long-term RXTE X-ray data and simultaneous optical/near-infrared photometric data. This wind is the most convincing case for magnetic driving in black hole binaries, as it has an inferred launch radius which is a factor of 10 smaller than the thermal wind prediction. However, the optical and near-infrared fluxes monotonically increase around the Chandra observation, whereas the X-ray flux monotonically decreases from 10 days beforehand. Yet the optical and near-infrared fluxes are from the outer, irradiated disk, so for them to increase implies that the X-rays likewise increased. We applied a new irradiated disk model to the multi-wavelength spectral energy distributions (SEDs). Fitting the optical and near-infrared fluxes, we estimated the intrinsic luminosity at the Chandra epoch was > ~0.7 L_Edd, which is more than one order of magnitude larger than the observed X-ray luminosity. These results could be explained if a Compton-thick, almost completely ionized gas was present in the wind and strong scattering reduced the apparent X-ray luminosity. The effects of scattering in the wind should then be taken into account for discussion of the wind-driving mechanism. Radiation pressure and Compton heating may also contribute to powering the wind at this high luminosity.

description: The efficiency of InGaAs/GaAsP multiple quantum well (MQW) hot-carrier solar cell (HCSC) was
investigated based on particle conservation model including influences of carrier thermalization, auger recombination
(AR) and impact ionization (II). The efficiency increased with lower the effective bandgap of MQWs. The
calculation showed that efficiency of practical MQW HCSCs was limited by the carrier concentration inside MQWs.
This parameter also strongly relates to the absorption coefficient, well number, carrier retention time and
thermalization. It encourages intensive studies of carrier mechanisms inside MQWs solar cells. Designing and
optimizing of MQW HCSCs should be done by maximizing the carrier density without significant thermalization loss.
With ideal energy selective contacts (ESCs), the efficiency of practical InGaAs/GaAsP MQW HCSC was less than
50% under 1000 sun.

description: In this study, we reported the results of high-resolution (0.14 arcsec) Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of the 225 GHz dust continuum and CO molecular emission lines from the transitional disk around SY Cha. Our high-resolution observations clearly revealed the inner cavity and the central point source for the first time. The radial profile of the ring can be approximated by a bright narrow ring superimposed on a fainter wide ring. Furthermore, we found that there is a weak azimuthal asymmetry in dust continuum emission. For gas emissions, we detected $\rm{}^{12}CO$(2$-$1), $\rm{}^{13}CO$(2$-$1) and $\rm{}C^{18}O$(2$-$1), from which we estimated the total gas mass of the disk to be $2.2\times10^{-4}M_\odot$, assuming a CO/H$_2$ ratio of $10^{-4}$. The observations showed that the gas is present inside the dust cavity. The analysis of the velocity structure of the $\rm{}^{12}CO$(2$-$1) emission line revealed that the velocity is distorted at the location of the dust inner disk, which may be owing to warping of the disk or radial gas flow within the cavity of the dust disk. High-resolution observations of SY Cha showed that this system is composed of a ring and a distorted inner disk, which may be common, as indicated by the survey of transitional disk systems at a resolution of $\sim$0.1~arcsec.

On the large $Ω$-deformations in the Nekrasov-Shatashvili limit of $\mathcal N=2^{*}$ SYM
Creators: name: Beccaria, Matteo
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the multi-instanton partition functions of the $Ω$-deformed $\mathcal N =2^{*}$ $SU(2) $ gauge theory in the Nekrasov-Shatashvili (NS) limit. They depend on the deformation parameters $ε_{1}$, the scalar field expectation value $a$, and the hypermultiplet mass $m$. At fixed instanton number $k$, they are rational functions of $ε_{1}, a, m$ and we look for possible regularities that admit a parametrical description in the number of instantons. In each instanton sector, the contribution to the deformed Nekrasov prepotential has poles for "large" deformation parameters. To clarify the properties of these singularities we exploit Bethe/gauge correspondence and examine the special ratios $m/ε_{1}$ at which the associated spectral problem is $n$-gap. At these special points we illustrate several structural simplifications occurring in the partition functions. After discussing various tools to compute the prepotential, we analyze the non-perturbative corrections up to $k=24$ instantons and present various closed expressions for the coefficients of the singular terms. Both the regular and singular parts of the prepotential are resummed over all instantons and compared successfully with the exact prediction from the spectral theory of the Lamé equation, showing that the pole singularities are an artifact of the instanton expansion. The analysis is fully worked out in the 1-gap case, but the final pole cancellation is proved for a generic ratio $m/ε_{1}$ relating it to the gap width of the Lamé equation.

description: Thermophotovoltaics has recently garnered significant interest in the field of renewable energy. This is
due to their versatility and promise to achieve efficiencies well beyond the Shockeley-Queisser Limit that dictates the
performance of photovoltaics [1,2]. Thermophotovoltaics generate electricity from heat converted into infrared
photons. In this study, we focus our attention to Ga1-xTlxP, a tertiary compound with the potential of having a lower
bandgap with increasing Thallium (Tl) content. TlP belongs to a group of materials known as semi-metals and
possesses an optical bandgap below zero [3]: This implies that the material bandgap can theoretically change from
2.26 eV (x=0) to -0.27 eV (x=1). Presented in this study are the implications such a band structure change could have
on the associated properties such as the optical bandgap and lattice constant of GaTlP with varying Tl content. The
versatility in Tl content allows for a number of candidate substrates including GaAs, Ge, and InP.
Scattered polarized radiation of extrasolar circumplanetary rings

description: We have investigated the impact of circumplanetary rings consisting of spherical micrometer-sized particles on the net scattered light polarization of extrasolar gas giants. Using the three-dimensional Monte Carlo radiative transfer code POLARIS, we studied the impact of the macroscopic parameters that define the ring, such as its radius and inclination, and the chemical composition of the ring particles on the net scattered polarization. For the spherical ring particles, we applied the Mie scattering theory. We studied the flux and polarization of the scattered stellar radiation as a function of planetary phase angle and wavelength from the optical to the near-infrared. For the chosen grain size distribution, the dust particles in the ring show strong forward scattering at the considered wavelengths. Thus, the reflected flux of the planet dominates the total reflected and polarized flux at small phase angles. However, the scattered and polarized flux of the ring increase at large phase angles and exceeds the total reflected planetary flux. For large rings that contain silicate particles, the total reflected flux is dominated by the radiation scattered by the dust in the ring at all phase angles. As a result, the orientation of polarization is parallel to the scattering plane at small phase angles. In contrast, for a ring that contains water ice particles, the orientation of polarization is parallel to the scattering plane at large phase angles. Depending on the ring inclination and orientation, the total reflected and polarized flux show a specific distribution as well. Large particles show a strong polarization at large phase angles compared to smaller particles. For a Jupiter-like atmosphere that contains methane and aerosols, methane absorption features are missing in the spectrum of a ringed planet.

description: This article is devoted to finding classical point-particle equivalents for the fermion sector of the nonminimal Standard-Model Extension (SME). For a series of nonminimal operators, such Lagrangians are derived at first order in Lorentz violation using the algebraic concept of Gröbner bases. Subsequently, the Lagrangians serve as a basis for reanalyzing the results of certain kinematic tests of Special Relativity that were carried out in the last century. Thereby, a number of new constraints on coefficients of the nonminimal SME is obtained. In the last part of the paper we point out connections to Finsler geometry.

description: We have fabricated BaSi2 films by a simple vacuum evaporation method for solar cell applications.
Structural analysis shows that dense single-phase BaSi2 films can be grown on silicon and glass substrates at 500 and
600 ˚C, while the film grown at 400 ˚C is oxidized upon exposure to the air. The film growth mechanism is discussed
and high substrate temperatures are concluded to be needed for the removal of excess Ba atoms. Electrical
characterization reveals that the evaporated BaSi2 films have n-type conductivity. By analyzing the optical
transmission and reflection, high absorption coefficients comparable to the epitaxial film are extracted. The indirect
absorption edge is suitable for solar cells (1.14 eV). The microwave-detected photoconductivity decay measurement
shows that long carrier lifetime for effective usage of photoexcited carriers can be realized by vacuum evaporation.

description: The distribution of the spin directions of spiral galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey has been a topic of debate in the past two decades, with conflicting conclusions reported even in cases where the same data was used. Here we follow one of the previous experiments by applying the SpArcFiRe algorithm to annotate the spin directions in original dataset of Galaxy Zoo 1. The annotation of the galaxy spin directions is done after a first step of selecting the spiral galaxies in three different manners: manual analysis by Galaxy Zoo classifications, by a model-driven computer analysis, and with no selection of spiral galaxies. The results show that when spiral galaxies are selected by Galaxy Zoo volunteers, the distribution of their spin directions as determined by SpArcFiRe is not random, which agrees with previous reports. When selecting the spiral galaxies using a model-driven computer analysis or without selecting the spiral galaxies at all, the distribution is also not random. Simple binomial distribution analysis shows that the probability of the parity violation to occur by chance is lower than 0.01. Fitting the spin directions as observed from Earth to cosine dependence exhibits a dipole axis with statistical strength of 2.33$σ$ to 3.97$σ$. These experiments show that regardless of the selection mechanism and the analysis method, all experiments show similar conclusions. These results are aligned with previous reports using other methods and telescopes, suggesting that the spin directions of spiral galaxies as observed from Earth exhibit a dipole axis formed by their spin directions. Possible explanations can be related to the large-scale structure of the Universe, or to internal structure of galaxies. The catalogs of annotated galaxies generated as part of this study are available.

description: We give sufficient conditions for the number rigidity of a translation invariant or periodic point process on $\mathbb{R}^d$, where $d=1,2$. That is, the probability distribution of the number of particles in a bounded domain $Λ\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, conditional on the configuration on $Λ^\complement$, is concentrated on a single integer $N_Λ$. These conditions are : (a) the variance of the number of particles in a bounded domain $\mathcal{O} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ grows slower than the volume of $\mathcal{O}$ (a.k.a. superhomogeneous point processes), when $\mathcal{O} \uparrow \mathbb{R}^d$ (in a self-similar manner), and (b) the truncated pair correlation function is bounded by $C_1[|x-y|+1]^{-2}$ in $d=1$ and by $C_2[|x-y|+1]^{-(4+ε)}$ in $d=2$. These conditions are satisfied by all known processes with number rigidity ([GP],[G],[PS],[AM],[Bu],[BuDQ], [BBNY], and many more) in $d=1,2$. We also observe, in the light of the results of [PS], that no such criteria exist in $d>2$.

description: Europa's subsurface ocean is a potential candidate for life in the outer solar system. It is thought that plumes may exist which eject ocean material out into space, which may be detected by a spacecraft flyby. Previous work on the feasibility of these detections has assumed a collisionless model of the plume particles. New models of the plumes including particle collisions have shown that a shock can develop in the plume interior as rising particles collide with particles falling back to the moon's surface, limiting the plume's altitude. Results show that the region over Europa's surface within which plumes would be separable from the H$_2$O atmosphere by JUICE (the region of separability) is reduced by up to a half with the collisional model compared to the collisionless model. Putative plume sources which are on the border of the region of separability for the collisionless model cannot be separated from the atmosphere when the shock is considered for a mass flux case of 100kg/s. Increasing the flyby altitude by 100km such that the spacecraft passes above the shock canopy results in a reduction in region of separability by a third, whilst decreasing the flyby altitude by 100km increases the region of separability by the same amount. We recommend flybys pass through or as close to the shock as possible to sample the most high-density region. If the spacecraft flies close to the shock, the structure of the plume could be resolvable using the neutral mass spectrometer on JUICE, allowing us to test models of the plume physics and understand the underlying physics of Europa's plumes. As the altitude of the shock is uncertain and dependent on unpredictable plume parameters, we recommend flybys be lowered where possible to reduce the risk of passing above the shock and losing detection coverage, density and duration.

description: This paper reports results of a Suzaku observation of the supernova remnant (SNR) Kes 79 (G33.6+0.1). The X-ray spectrum is best fitted by a two-temperature model: a non-equilibrium ionization (NEI) plasma and a collisional ionization equilibrium (CIE) plasma. The NEI plasma is spatially confined within the inner radio shell with kT~0.8 keV, while the CIE plasma is found in more spatially extended regions associated with the outer radio shell with kT~0.2 keV and solar abundance. Therefore, the NEI plasma is attributable to the SN ejecta and the CIE plasma is forward shocked interstellar medium. In the NEI plasma, we discovered K-shell line of Al, Ar and Ca for the first time. The abundance pattern and estimated mass of the ejecta are consistent with the core-collapse supernova explosion of a ~30-40 solar mass progenitor star. An Fe line with center energy of ~6.4 keV is also found in the southeast (SE) portion of the SNR, a close peripheral region around dense molecular clouds. One possibility is that the line is associated with the ejecta. However, the centroid energy of ~6.4 keV and the spatial distribution of enhancement near the SE peripheral do not favor this scenario. Since the ~6.4 keV emitting region coincides to the molecular clouds, we propose another possibility that the Fe line is due to K-shell ionization of neutral Fe by the interaction of locally accelerated protons (LECRp) with the surrounding molecular cloud. Both these possibilities, heated ejecta or LECRp origin, are discussed based on the observational facts.

description: In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of using Ni/Au Schottky contact as transparet conducting
oxide (TCO) on n-type GaN/InGaN Schottky barrier solar cell. The current-voltage characteristics of Ni/Au schottky
contact were measured in the temperature range 220 K-300 K. The I-V curves were fitted by the equation based on
thermionic emission theory and it was found that the zero-bias barrier height decreases while the ideality factor
increases with decreasing temperature. The zero-bias barrier height verses 1/(2kT) plot was drawn to obtain evidence
of a Gaussian distribution of the barrier height and the modified Richardson plot shows good linearity over the
investigated temperature range. Furthermore, the series resistance ()
values estimated from Cheung’s function vary
from 314.5 Ω at 220 K to 158.3 Ω at 300 K and are seen to be strongly temperature dependent. Finally, the transmission
line method (TLM) and the transmission spectra for the Ni/Au TCO was conducted at two different layer thicknesses
(4nmNi/4nmAu, 8nmNi/8nmAu). As expected, it was found that both the sheet resistance ()
and the transparency
(%T) of the oxide layer decreas as the thickness of the TCO is increased. As a reuslt, optimizing the TCO thickness for
optimum performance for solar cell is necessary.

description: Superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are a rare class of stellar explosions with luminosities ~10-100 times greater than ordinary core-collapse supernovae. One popular model to explain the enhanced optical output of hydrogen-poor (Type I) SLSNe invokes energy injection from a rapidly spinning magnetar. A prediction in this case is that high-energy gamma rays, generated in the wind nebula of the magnetar, could escape through the expanding supernova ejecta at late times (months or more after optical peak). This paper presents a search for gamma-ray emission in the broad energy band from 100 MeV to 30 TeV from two Type I SLSNe, SN2015bn, and SN2017egm, using observations from Fermi-LAT and VERITAS. Although no gamma-ray emission was detected from either source, the derived upper limits approach the putative magnetar's spin-down luminosity. Prospects are explored for detecting very-high-energy (VHE; 100 GeV - 100 TeV) emission from SLSNe-I with existing and planned facilities such as VERITAS and CTA.

description: In this paper, we investigate the problem of optimal base station (BS) ON-OFF switching and user association in a heterogeneous network (HetNet) with massive MIMO, with the objective to maximize the system energy efficiency (EE). The joint BS ON-OFF switching and user association problem is formulated as an integer programming problem. We first develop a centralized scheme, in which we relax the integer constraints and employ a series of Lagrangian dual methods that transform the original problem into a standard linear programming (LP) problem. Due to the special structure of the LP, we prove that the optimal solution to the relaxed LP is also feasible and optimal to the original problem. We then propose a distributed scheme by formulating a repeated bidding game for users and BS's, and prove that the game converges to a Nash Equilibrium (NE). Simulation studies demonstrate that the proposed schemes can achieve considerable gains in EE over several benchmark schemes in all the scenarios considered.

description: Photonic crystals using alternate layers of high and low refractive index material behave like a Bragg
reflector which helps in light confinement and entrapment in thin film solar cells. Conventional metal reflectors have
the disadvantage of severe intrinsic losses in the longer wavelength due to the surface plasmon modes produced at the
metal dielectric interface. In this work we have fabricated Silicon nitride/ Silicon oxynitride stack layer photonic
crystals using radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (rf-PECVD) at low temperature (200ºC).
The compositional analysis of the bond concentration of the material has been investigated using Fourier Transform
Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and is used to explain the change in the refractive index of the material. We have
obtained a range of thin films with refractive index varying between 3.29 for silicon rich Silicon Nitride (SixNy) to
Silicon Oxynitride (SiOxNy) films with 1.53 depending on the deposition conditions. Selective broad band reflectors
based on SixNy/ SiOxNy photonic crystals can be designed and fabricated by choosing the right refractive index pair
and thickness using these materials. A set of such photonic crystal selective broad band reflectors are fabricated and
their performance is demonstrated by applying them on silicon thin film solar cells.

description: We consider nearly equal number of gauge mediation type charged (anti-) Q-balls with charge of $α^{-1}\simeq137$ well before the BBN epoch and discussed how they evolve in time. We found that ion-like objects with electric charges of $+O(1)$ are likely to become relics in the present universe, which we expect to be the dark matter. These are constrained by MICA experiment, where the trail of heavy atom-like or ion-like object in $10^9$ years old ancient mica crystals is not observed. We found that the allowed region for gauge mediation model parameter and reheating temperature have to be smaller than the case of the neutral Q-ball dark matter.

description: In elementary particle physics the philosophy of virtual particles is widely used. We use this philosophy to obtain the famous inverse square law of classical physics. We define a formal model without fields or forces, but with virtual particle - information transmitter. This formal model admits very simple (school level) interpretation with two classical particles and one virtual. Then we prove (in a mathematically rigorous way) that the trajectories in our model converge to standard Newtonian trajectories of classical physics.

description: Heterojunction Cu Se-CdSe and CuSe- ZnxCd1_xSe (x < 0.4) devices have been
prepared on orientated single crystal substrates by a Chemiplating technique. The
single crystal CdSe and Zn Cd Se substracs were grown from the vapour phase in
this laboratory. The structure of the Cu Se layers was investigated using Reflection
High Energy Diffraction (RHEED) and found to take the cubic modification. in the
case of the CdSe substrates, the layer thickness has been found to follow an equation
related to t
½
, where t, is the chemiplating time.
The current-voltage characteristics of all devices showed good rectifying
characteristics except for heterojunctions formed on very low resistivity (=0.2Ωcm )
CdSe substrates, where a short heat treatment of 2 minutes in air of 30 minutes in
nitrogen was found to be necessary. The photovoltaic output characteristics have been
measured under simulated AM1 illumination. Cells formed on CdSe were found to
have higher short circuit current densities (Jsc and lower open circuit voltages (Voc)
than those produced on the mixed Zn Cd Se crystal substrates. Typical values of Voc
and Jsc were 200 m Voc and 3.8 mA/cm2 for CdSe based devices and 420 m Voc and
1.0 mA/cm2 for cells formed on for example ZnxCdl_xSe (x = 0.4).
The spectral dependence of V was measured for the devices, and showed that the
principal response arose from the Cu Se in most cases
Photo capacitance spectra were also measured and used to identify the more
important deep levels. The main threshold in all the devices indicated a dominant
level with an activation energy of between 1. 0 and
1.1 e V with respect to the conduction band in the CdSe or ZnxCdl_xSe respectively.

description: We present observations of rapid (sub-second) optical flux variability in V404 Cyg during its 2015 June outburst. Simultaneous three-band observations with the ULTRACAM fast imager on four nights show steep power spectra dominated by slow variations on ~100-1000s timescales. Near the peak of the outburst on June 26, a dramatic change occurs and additional, persistent sub-second optical flaring appears close in time to giant radio and X-ray flaring. The flares reach peak optical luminosities of ~few x 10^{36} erg/s. Some are unresolved down to a time resolution of 24 milliseconds. Whereas the fast flares are stronger in the red, the slow variations are bluer when brighter. The redder slopes, emitted power, and characteristic timescales of the fast flares can be explained as optically-thin synchrotron emission from a compact jet arising on size scales ~140-500 Gravitational radii (with a possible additional contribution by a thermal particle distribution). The origin of the slower variations is unclear. The optical continuum spectral slopes are strongly affected by dereddening uncertainties and contamination by strong H{alpha} emission, but the variations of these slopes follow relatively stable loci as a function of flux. Cross-correlating the slow variations between the different bands shows asymmetries on all nights consistent with a small red skew (i.e., red lag). X-ray reprocessing and non-thermal emission could both contribute to these. These data reveal a complex mix of components over five decades in timescale during the outburst.

description: Glycans play a central role as mediators in most biological processes, but their structures are complicated by isomerism. Epimers and anomers, regioisomers, and branched sequences contribute to a structural variability that dwarfs those of nucleic acids and proteins, challenging even the most sophisticated analytical tools, such as NMR and mass spectrometry. Here, we introduce an electron tunneling technique that is label-free and can identify carbohydrates at the single-molecule level, offering significant benefits over existing technology. It is capable of analyzing sub-picomole quantities of sample, counting the number of individual molecules in each subset in a population of coexisting isomers, and is quantitative over more than four orders of magnitude of concentration. It resolves epimers not well separated by ion-mobility and can be implemented on a silicon chip. It also provides a readout mechanism for direct single-molecule sequencing of linear oligosaccharides.

description: In this paper we have investigated experimentally and by modeling the effect of geometrical
parameters (pitch, length, and diameter) on the optical properties of a large set of different SiNW arrays. SiNWs were
fabricated either by the direct use of the standard Metal Assisted Chemical Etching (MACE) process or by coupling
the MACE process with the nanosphere lithography (NSL) method. Silver and gold were used as catalysts. While the
cost-effective MACE process allows the fabrication of high density high aspect ratio random / disordered SiNW
arrays, the NSL step further allows for a rich control of the geometry of fabricated arrays in terms of the pitch, length
and diameter. We have prepared a large set of samples including random as well as ordered SiNW arrays, with
nanowire diameters varying from 180 to 650 nm and pitches varying from 250 to 800 nm. The random and ordered
SiNW arrays have outstanding optical properties with a very low reflectance in the visible range, even without any
additional antireflective coating, therefore challenging the performance of standard wet-etched pyramid structures.
Disordered / random SiNW arrays, fabricated only by MACE, have better optical properties compared to ordered
arrays fabricated by coupling MACE and NSL, but they represent a major challenge for a proper surface passivation.
Ordered SiNW arrays are promising candidates for HIT devices as the space between the NWs can be adapted to the
passivation scheme leading to an improved junction quality. We have observed that the reflectance data depend
strongly not only on the NW length, but also on the pitch and diameter, confirming our theoretical predictions from
the optical model of periodic SiNW arrays.

description: We investigate the thermal condensation caused by a massive object that passes through the interstellar medium with high velocity, and propose a mechanism for creating a filamentary gaseous object, or interstellar contrail. Our main result shows that a long interstellar contrail can form with a certain parameter; a compact object more massive than $10^4\ {\rm M_\odot}$ can make a filament whose length is larger than $100\ {\rm pc}$. Observation of interstellar contrails may provide information on the number, masses, and velocities of fast-moving massive objects, and can be a new method for probing invisible gravitating sources such as intermediate-mass black holes.
