description: We study an one-dimensional stochastic model of vehicular traffic on open segments of a single-lane road of finite size $L$. The vehicles obey a stochastic discrete-time dynamics which is a limiting case of the generalized Totally Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process. This dynamics has been previously used by Bunzarova and Pesheva [Phys. Rev. E 95, 052105 (2017)] for an one-dimensional model of irreversible aggregation. The model was shown to have three stationary phases: a many-particle one, MP, a phase with completely filled configuration, CF, and a boundary perturbed MP+CF phase, depending on the values of the particle injection ($α$), ejection ($β$) and hopping ($p$) probabilities. Here we extend the results for the stationary properties of the MP+CF phase, by deriving exact expressions for the local density at the first site of the chain and the probability P(1) of a completely jammed configuration. The unusual phase transition, characterized by jumps in both the bulk density and the current (in the thermodynamic limit), as $α$ crosses the boundary $α=p$ from the MP to the CF phase, is explained by the finite-size behavior of P(1). By using a random walk theory, we find that, when $α$ approaches from below the boundary $α=p$, three different regimes appear, as the size $L\rightarrow \infty$: (i) the lifetime of the gap between the rightmost clusters is of the order $O(L)$ in the MP phase; (ii) small jams, separated by gaps with lifetime $O(1)$, exist in the MP+CF phase close to the left chain boundary; and (iii) when $β=p$, the jams are divided by gaps with lifetime of the order $O(L^{1/2})$. These results are supported by extensive Monte Carlo calculations.

description: Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), as promising alternative plasmonics supporting materials to graphene, exhibit potential applications in sensing. Here, we propose an ultrasensitive, accurate long-range surface plasmon resonance (LRSPR) imaging biosensor with two-dimensional TMDC layers, which shows higher detection accuracy than that of conventional SPR biosensor. It is found that the imaging sensitivity of the proposed LRSPR biosensor can be enhanced by the integration of TMDC layers, which is different from the previous graphene-based LRSPR or SPR imaging sensor, whose imaging sensitivity usually decreases with the number of graphene layers. The sensitivity enhancement or degradation effect for the proposed chalcogenide-cytop-gold-TMDCs based biosensor depends on the thickness of gold thin film and cytop layer. Imaging sensitivity of more than 4000 $\text{RIU}^{-1}$ can be obtained with a high detection accuracy of more than 120 $\text{deg}^{-1}$. We expect that the proposed TMDCs mediated LRSPR imaging sensor could provide potential applications in chemical sensing and biosensing for a highly sensitive and accurate simultaneous detection of multiple biomolecular interactions.

The EUV excess emission of the Virgo and A1795 clusters - re-observation with in-situ background measurements

description: The Virgo and A1795 clusters of galaxies were re-observed by EUVE with {\it in situ} background measurements by pointing at small offsets. Earlier, a similar re-observational strategy applied to the cluster A2199 revealed that the background radial profile was consistent with a flat distribution, and therefore the original method of extracting cluster EUV signals by the subtraction of an aymptotically determined background was valid. It is shown here that the same conclusions hold for the current sample. A model of the background was obtained from its known properties and the {\it in situ} measurements, and the subtracted cluster fluxes remain in agreement with those reported in our discovery papers. They are also consistent with results from the most conservative procedure of direct point-to-point subtraction of the {\it in situ} background and proper error propagation, which still preserves the existence of the EUV excess and its rising radial trend. We present evidence which argues against the soft excess as due to peculiarities in the line-of-sight Galactic absorption. The data appear to favor a thermal origin of the emission.

description: A Josephson tunnel junction which is RF-driven near a dynamical bifurcation point can amplify quantum signals. The bifurcation point will exist robustly only if the electrodynamic environment of the junction meets certain criteria. In this article we develop a general formalism for dealing with the non-linear dynamics of Josephson junction embedded in an arbitrary microwave circuit. We find sufficient conditions for the existence of the bifurcation regime: a) the embedding impedance of the junction need to present a resonance at a particular frequency $ω_{R}$, with the quality factor $Q$ of the resonance and the participation ratio $p$ of the junction satisfying $Qp\gg 1$, b) the drive frequency should be low frequency detuned away from $ω_{R}$ by more than $\sqrt{3}ω_{R}/(2Q)$.

Stochastic Feshbach Projection for the Dynamics of Open Quantum Systems

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a stochastic projection formalism for the description of quantum dynamics in Bosonic or spin environments. The Schrödinger equation in coherent state representation with respect to the environmental degrees of freedom can be reformulated by employing the Feshbach partitioning technique for open quantum systems based on the introduction of suitable non-Hermitian projection operators. In this picture the reduced state of the system can be obtained as a stochastic average over pure state trajectories. The corresponding non-Markovian stochastic Schrödinger equations include a memory integral over the past states. In the case of harmonic environments and linear coupling the approach gives a new form of the established non-Markovian quantum state diffusion (NMQSD) stochastic Schrödinger equation without functional derivatives. Utilizing spin coherent states, the evolution equation for spin environments resembles the Bosonic case with, however, a non-Gaussian average for the reduced density operator.

description: We develop a formalism suitable for studying Maxwell's equations in the presence of a medium that is axially symmetric, in particular with respect to Casimir-Polder interaction energies. As an application, we derive the Casimir-Polder interaction energy between an electric $δ$-function plate and an anisotropically polarizable molecule for arbitrary orientations of the principal axes of polarizabilities of the molecule. We show that in the perfect conductor limit for the plate the interaction is insensitive to the orientation of the polarizabilities of the molecule. We obtain the Casimir-Polder energy between an electric $δ$-function sphere and an anisotropically polarizable molecule, again for arbitrary orientations of the principal axes of polarizabilities of the molecule. We derive results when the polarizable molecule is either outside the sphere, or inside the sphere. We present the perfectly conducting limit for the $δ$-function sphere, and also the interaction energy for the special case when the molecule is at the center of the sphere. Our general proposition is that the Casimir-Polder energy between a dielectric body with axial symmetry and an unidirectionally polarizable molecule placed on the axis with its polarizability parallel to the axis gets non-zero contribution only from the $m=0$ azimuth mode. This feature in conjunction with the property that the $m=0$ mode separates into transverse electric and transverse magnetic modes allows the evaluation of Casimir-Polder energies for axially symmetric systems in a relatively easy manner.

Subjects: subject: 90499 Chemical Engineering not elsewhere classified

description: In the last two decades, optimization methods and algorithms have improved immensely in both criterion: number of problems solved and their solution times. Unfortunately, this has not translated in the more accurate modeling of chemical engineering process models.Current flowsheet models use simple mass and energy balance to represent process equipments and do not incorporate effect of its design in the model. In this thesis, the heat exchanger design is studied from the viewpoint of embedding it in the flowsheet models. A novel design model based on differential heat equation and the geometric structure of the exchanger is proposed. The model is capable of capturing the effects of phase changeand variable thermophysical properties on the exchanger design. This is demonstrated by solving multiple examples of shell and tube heat exchangers and flooded phase changeheat exchangers. In the subsequent chapter, the exchanger design model is integrated into the heat exchangernetwork synthesis model using two separate methods: two-step hybrid strategy and trust region filter approach. Examples from previous studies are used to show the significance effect of including detailed exchanger design in the synthesis of heat exchanger networks. Afterwards, the design model for multi-stream heat exchanger using a discretized system of equations and complementarity constraints is developed. The design equations relating the heat exchanger area to the design variables and degrees of freedom are derived. This design model is solved simultaneously with a natural gas liquefaction model using a step-by-step initialization procedure. The optimization results for both the exchanger design and flowsheet variables are presented along with plots of temperature variation and liquid fraction for each stream inside the exchanger.

description: We use hydrodynamical N-body simulations to study the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. We construct sets of maps, one square degree in size, in three different cosmological models. We confirm earlier calculations that on the scales studied the kinetic effect is much smaller than the thermal (except close to the thermal null point), with an rms dispersion smaller by about a factor five in the Rayleigh-Jeans region. We study the redshift dependence of the rms distortion and the pixel distribution at the present epoch. We compute the angular power spectra of the maps, including their redshift dependence, and compare them with the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect and with the expected cosmic microwave background anisotropy spectrum as well as with determinations by other authors. We correlate the kinetic effect with the thermal effect both pixel-by-pixel and for identified thermal sources in the maps to assess the extent to which the kinetic effect is enhanced in locations of strong thermal signal.

Thermal conductivity of ternary III-V semiconductor alloys: The role of mass difference and long-range order

description: Thermal transport in bulk ternary III-V arsenide (III-As) semiconductor alloys was investigated using equilibrium molecular dynamics with optimized Albe-Tersoff empirical interatomic potentials. Existing potentials for binary AlAs, GaAs, and InAs were optimized to obtain accurate phonon dispersions and temperature-dependent thermal conductivity. Calculations of thermal transport in ternary III-Vs commonly employ the virtual-crystal approximation (VCA), where the structure is assumed to be a random alloy and all group-III atoms (cations) are treated as if they have an effective weighted-average mass. Here, we showed that is critical to treat atomic masses explicitly, and that the thermal conductivity obtained with explicit atomic masses differs considerably from the value obtained with the average VCA cation mass. The larger the difference between the cation masses, the poorer the VCA prediction for thermal conductivity. The random-alloy assumption in the VCA is also challenged, because X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy show order in InGaAs, InAlAs, and GaAlAs epi-layers. We calculated thermal conductivity for three common types of order [CuPt-B, CuAu-I, and triple-period-A (TPA)] and showed that the experimental results for In$_{0.53}$Ga$_{0.47}$As and In$_{0.52}$Al$_{0.48}$As, which are lattice matched to the InP substrate, can be reproduced in molecular dynamics simulation with 2% and 8% of random disorder, respectively. Based on our results, thermal transport in ternary III-As alloys appears to be governed by the competition between mass-difference scattering, which is much more pronounced than the VCA suggests, and the long-range order that these alloys support.

description: Acid prepared specimens of the placoderm Brindabellaspis stensioi (Early Devonian of New South Wales, Australia) revealed placoderm endocranial anatomy in unprecedented detail. Brindabellaspis has become a key taxon in discussions of early gnathostome phylogeny, and the question of placoderm monophyly versus paraphyly. The anterior orientation of the facial nerve and related hyoid arch structures in this taxon resemble fossil osteostracans (jawless vertebrates) rather than other early gnathostomes. New specimens of Brindabellaspis now reveal the previously unknown anterior region of the skull, including an exceptionally elongate premedian bone forming a long rostrum, supported by a thin extension of the postethmo-occipital unit of the braincase. Lateral bone overlap surfaces indicate an unusual anterior position for the jaws. Digital rendering of a synchrotron radiation scan reveals a uniquely specialized ethmoid commissure sensory canal, doubled back and fused into a midline canal. The visceral surface of the premedian bone has a plexus of perichondral bone canals. An updated skull roof reconstruction of Brindabellaspis adds to the highly variable dermal skull patterns of the probably non-monophyletic ‘acanthothoracids'. The unusual morphology revealed by the new specimens suggests that the earliest known reef fish fauna contained a diverse range of fishes with specialized ecological roles.

The high statistics will allow precision measurements for rare decays, which can be then compared with the Standard Model predictions in order to search indirectly for new physics. We present the prospects for rare decay studies at Belle II.

description: Conductance of zigzag interfaces between graphene sheet and normal metal is investigated in the tight-binding approximation. Boundary conditions, valid for a variety of scattering problems, are constructed and applied to the normal metal -- graphene -- normal metal (NGN) junctions. At the Dirac point, the conductance is determined solely by the evanescent modes and is inversely proportional to the length of the junction. It is also independent on the interface resistance. Away from the Dirac point, the propagating modes' contribution dominates. We also observe that even in the junctions with high interface resistance, for certain modes, ideal transmission is possible via Fabry-Perot like resonances.

description: The Hamiltonian formulation of the motion of a spinning relativistic particle in an external electromagnetic field is considered. The approach is based on the introduction of new coordinates and their conjugated momenta to describe the spin degrees of freedom together with an appropriate set of constraints in the Dirac formulation. For particles with gyromagnetic ratio $g=2$, the equations of motion do not predict any deviation from the standard Lorentz force, while for $g \neq 2$ an additional force, which corresponds to the magnetic dipole force, is obtained.

description: When imperilled by a threatening process, the choice is often made to conserve threatened species on offshore islands that typically lack the full suite of mainland predators. While keeping the species extant, this releases the conserved population from predator-driven natural selection. Antipredator traits are no longer maintained by natural selection and may be lost. It is implicitly assumed that such trait loss will happen slowly, but there are few empirical tests. In Australia, northern quolls (Dasyurus hallucatus) were moved onto a predator-free offshore island in 2003 to protect the species from the arrival of invasive cane toads on the mainland. We compared the antipredator behaviours of wild-caught quolls from the predator-rich mainland to those from this predator-free island. We compared the responses of both wild-caught animals and their captive-born offspring, to olfactory cues of two of their major predators (feral cats and dingoes). Wild-caught, mainland quolls recognized and avoided predator scents, as did their captive-born offspring. Island quolls, isolated from these predators for only 13 generations, showed no recognition or aversion to these predators. This study suggests that predator aversion behaviours can be lost very rapidly, and that this may make a population unsuitable for reintroduction to a predator-rich mainland.

description: We report on the superconducting (SC) properties of Y$_2$C$_3$ with a relatively high transition temperature $T_{\rm c}=15.7$ K investigated by $^{13}$C nuclear-magnetic-resonance (NMR) measurements under a magnetic field. The $^{13}$C Knight shift has revealed a significant decrease below $T_{\rm c}$, suggesting a spin-singlet superconductivity. From an analysis of the temperature dependence of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate $1/T_1$ in the SC state, Y$_2$C$_3$ is demonstrated to be a multigap superconductor that exhibits a large gap $2Δ/k_{\rm B}T_{\rm c}=5$ at the main band and a small gap $2Δ/k_{\rm B}T_{\rm c}=2$ at other bands. These results have revealed that Y$_2$C$_3$ is a unique multigap s-wave superconductor similar to MgB$_2$.

description: It has been suggested that quantum fluctuations of the gravitational field could give rise in the lowest approximation to an effective noncommutative version of Kaluza-Klein theory which has as extra hidden structure a noncommutative geometry. It would seem however from the Standard Model, at least as far as the weak interactions are concerned, that a double-sheeted structure is the phenomenologically appropriate one at present accelerator energies. We examine here to what extent this latter structure can be considered as a singular limit of the former.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The ATLAS inner detector comprises three different sub-detectors: the pixel detector, the silicon strip tracker, and the transition-radiation drift-tube tracker. The Insertable $B$-Layer, a new innermost pixel layer, was installed during the shutdown period in 2014, together with modifications to the layout of the cables and support structures of the existing pixel detector. The material in the inner detector is studied with several methods, using a low-luminosity $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV $pp$ collision sample corresponding to around $2.0\,\mathrm{nb}^{-1}$ collected in 2015 with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. In this paper, the material within the innermost barrel region is studied using reconstructed hadronic interaction and photon conversion vertices. For the forward rapidity region, the material is probed by a measurement of the efficiency with which single tracks reconstructed from pixel detector hits alone can be extended with hits on the track in the strip layers. The results of these studies have been taken into account in an improved description of the material in the ATLAS inner detector simulation, resulting in a reduction in the uncertainties associated with the charged-particle reconstruction efficiency determined from simulation.

description: Interest in non-standard recombination scenarios has been spurred by recent cosmic microwave background (CMB) results from BOOMERANG and MAXIMA, which show an unexpectedly low second acoustic peak, resulting in a best-fit baryon density that is 50% larger than the prediction of big-bang nucleosynthesis (BBN). This apparent discrepancy can be avoided if the universe has a non-standard ionization history in which the recombination of hydrogen is significantly delayed relative to the standard model. While future CMB observations may eliminate this discrepancy, it is useful to develop a general framework for analyzing non-standard ionization histories. We develop such a framework, examining non-standard models in which the hydrogen binding energy E_b and the overall expression for the time rate of change of the ionized fraction of electrons are multiplied by arbitrary factors. This set of models includes a number of previously-proposed models as special cases. We find a wide range of models with delayed recombination that are able to fit the CMB data with a baryon density in accordance with BBN, but there are even allowed models with earlier recombination than in the standard model. A generic prediction of these models is that the third acoustic CMB peak should be very low relative to what is found in the standard model. This is the case even for the models with earlier recombination than in the standard model, because here the third peak is lowered by an increased diffusion damping at recombination relative to the standard model. Interestingly, the specific height of the third peak depends sensitively on the model parameters, so that future CMB measurements will be able to distinguish between different non-standard recombination scenarios.

description: A tensor product generalisation of $B\wedge F$ theories is proposed to give a Bogomol'nyi structure. Non-singular, stable, finite-energy particle-like solutions to the Bogomol'nyi equations are studied. Unlike Yang-Mills(-Higgs) theory, the Bogomol'nyi structure does not appear as a perfect square in the Lagrangian. Consequently, the Bogomol'nyi energy can be obtained in more than one way. The added flexibility permits electric monopole solutions to the field equations.

description: We considered one-dimensional chain of the two-level quantum systems coupled via tunneling. The chain is driven by the superposition of dc and ac fields in the strong coupling regime. Based on the fundamental principles of electrodynamics and quantum theory, we developed a generalized model of quantum dynamics for such interactions, free of rotating wave approximation (RWA). The system of motion equations was studied numerically. We analyzed the dynamics and spectra of inversion density, dipole current density and tunneling current density. In the case of resonant interaction with ac-component the particle dynamics exhibits itself in the oscillatory regime, which may be interpreted as a combination of Rabi- and Bloch oscillations with their strong mutual influence. Such scenario for an obliquely incident ac field dramatically differs from the individual picture both types of oscillations due to an interactions. This novel effect is counterintuitive because of the strongly different frequency ranges for such two types of oscillations existence. This dynamics manifests itself in multi-line spectra at different combinations of Rabi- and Bloch frequencies. The effect is promising as a framework of new type of spectroscopy in nanoelectronics and electrical control of nano-devices.

description: The observed luminosity -- temperature relation of clusters is considerably steeper than that expected from a simple scaling relation. Although extra energy input is a likely solution, its source has not been identified. We propose intracluster supernova as a possible source, and also predict the supernova rate in intracluster space as a critical test.

description: The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 16900-1:2014 specifies the use of sodium chloride (NaCl) and corn oil aerosols, and sulfur hexafluoride gas for measuring total inward leakage (TIL). However, a comparison of TIL between different agents is lacking. The objective of this study was to measure and compare TIL for respirators using corn oil and NaCl aerosols. TIL was measured with 10 subjects donning two models of filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) including FFP1, N95, P100, and elastomeric half-mask respirators (ERs) in NaCl and corn oil aerosol test chambers, using continuous sampling methods. After fit testing with a PortaCount (TSI, Inc., St. Paul, MN) using the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) protocol, five subjects were tested in the NaCl chamber first and then in the corn oil chamber, while other subjects tested in the reverse order. TIL was measured as a ratio of mass-based aerosol concentrations in-mask to the test chamber, while the subjects performed ISO 16900-1-defined exercises. The concentration of NaCl aerosol was measured using two flame photometers, and corn oil aerosol was measured with one light scattering photometer. The same instruments were used to measure filter penetration in both chambers using a Plexiglas setup. The size distribution of aerosols was determined using a scanning mobility particle sizer and charge was measured with an electrometer. Filter efficiency was measured using an 8130 Automated Filter Tester (TSI). Results showed the geometric mean TIL for corn oil aerosol for one model each of all respirator categories, except P100, were significantly (p

description: Twenty-one distinct AlxCoCrFeNi alloys were rapidly prepared by laser alloying an equiatomic CoCrFeNi substrate with Al powder to create an alloy library ranging x=0.15-1.32. Variations in crystal structure, microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy and nanoindentation. With increasing Al content, the crystal structure transitioned from a disordered FCC to a mixture of disordered BCC and ordered B2 structures. While the onset of BCC/B2 formation was consistent with previously reported cast alloys, the FCC structure was observed at larger Al contents in the laser processed materials, resulting in a wider two phase regime. The FCC phase was primarily confined to the BCC/B2 grain boundaries at these high Al contents. The nanoindentation modulus and hardness of the FCC phase increased with Al content, while the properties of the BCC/B2 structure were insensitive to composition. The structure and mechanical properties of the laser-processed alloys were surprisingly consistent with reported results for cast alloys, demonstrating the feasibility of applying this high-throughput methodology to multicomponent alloy design.

description: Using numerical dynamic cluster quantum Monte Carlo results, we study a simple approximation for the pairing interaction of a two-dimensional Hubbard model with an on-site Coulomb interaction $U$ equal to the bandwidth. We find that with an effective temperature dependent coupling $\Ub(T)$ and the numerically calculated spin susceptibility $χ(K-K')$, the d-wave pairing interaction is well approximated by $\frac{3}{2} \Ub^2χ(K-K')$.

description: We present a mathematically rigorous method suitable for solving three-body bound state and scattering problems when the inter-particle interaction is of a hard-core nature. The proposed method is a variant of the Boundary Condition Model and it has been employed to calculate the binding energies for a system consisting of three ^4He atoms. Two realistic He-He interactions of Aziz and collaborators, have been used for this purpose. The results obtained compare favorably with those previously obtained by other methods. We further used the model to calculate, for the first time, the ultra-low energy scattering phase shifts. This study revealed that our method is ideally suited for three-body molecular calculations where the practically hard-core of the inter-atomic potential gives rise to strong numerical inaccuracies that make calculations for these molecules cumbersome.
