Non-Volatile Magnonic Logic Circuits Engineering
We propose a concept of magnetic logic circuits engineering, which takes an
advantage of magnetization as a computational state variable and exploits spin
waves for information transmission. The circuits consist of magneto-electric
cells connected via spin wave buses. We present the result of numerical
modeling showing the magneto-electric cell switching as a function of the
amplitude as well as the phase of the spin wave. The phase-dependent switching
makes it possible to engineer logic gates by exploiting spin wave buses as
passive logic elements providing a certain phase-shift to the propagating spin
waves. We present a library of logic gates consisting of magneto-electric cells
and spin wave buses providing 0 or p phase shifts. The utilization of phases in
addition to amplitudes is a powerful tool which let us construct logic circuits
with a fewer number of elements than required for CMOS technology. As an
example, we present the design of the magnonic Full Adder Circuit comprising
only 5 magneto-electric cells. The proposed concept may provide a route to more
functional wave-based logic circuitry with capabilities far beyond the limits
of the traditional transistor-based approach
Strong eigenfunction correlations near the Anderson localization transition
We study overlap of two different eigenfunctions as compared with
self-overlap in the framework of an infinite-dimensional version of the
disordered tight-binding model. Despite a very sparse structure of the
eigenstates in the vicinity of Anderson transition their mutual overlap is
still found to be of the same order as self-overlap as long as energy
separation is smaller than a critical value. The latter fact explains
robustness of the Wigner-Dyson level statistics everywhere in the phase of
extended states. The same picture is expected to hold for usual d-dimensional
conductors, ensuring the form of the level repulsion at critical
point.Comment: 4 pages, RevTe
Voltage dependence of Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert damping of a spin in a current driven tunnel junction
We present a theory of Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert damping for a
localized spin in the junction coupled to the conduction electrons
in both leads under an applied volatege . We find the voltage dependence of
the damping term reflecting the energy dependence of the density of states. We
find the effect is linear in the voltage and cotrolled by particle-hole
asymmetry of the leads.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure
Theory of non-equilibrium electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer
We develop a theoretical description of interaction-induced phenomena in an
electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer formed by integer quantum Hall edge
states (with \nu =1 and 2 channels) out of equilibrium. Using the
non-equilibrium functional bosonization framework, we derive an effective
action which contains all the physics of the problem. We apply the theory to
the model of a short-range interaction and to a more realistic case of
long-range Coulomb interaction. The theory takes into account
interaction-induced effects of dispersion of plasmons, charging, and
decoherence. In the case of long-range interaction we find a good agreement
between our theoretical results for the visibility of Aharonov-Bohm
oscillations and experimental data.Comment: 19 pages, 10 figure
A new neurosurgical tool incorporating differential geometry and cellular automata techniques
Using optical coherence imaging, it is possible to visualize seizure progression intraoperatively. However, it is difficult to pinpoint an exact epileptic focus. This is crucial in attempts to minimize the amount of resection necessary during surgical therapeutic interventions for epilepsy and is typically done approximately from visual inspection of optical coherence imaging stills. In this paper, we create an algorithm with the potential to pinpoint the source of a seizure from an optical coherence imaging still. To accomplish this, a grid is overlaid on optical coherence imaging stills. This then serves as a grid for a two-dimensional cellular automation. Each cell is associated with a Riemannian curvature tensor representing the curvature of the brain's surface in all directions for a cell. Cells which overlay portions of the image which show neurons that are firing are considered "depolarized"
Radiation from a charged particle and radiation reaction -- revisited
We study the electromagnetic fields of an arbitrarily moving charged particle
and the radiation reaction on the charged particle using a novel approach. We
first show that the fields of an arbitrarily moving charged particle in an
inertial frame can be related in a simple manner to the fields of a uniformly
accelerated charged particle in its rest frame. Since the latter field is
static and easily obtainable, it is possible to derive the fields of an
arbitrarily moving charged particle by a coordinate transformation. More
importantly, this formalism allows us to calculate the self-force on a charged
particle in a remarkably simple manner. We show that the original expression
for this force, obtained by Dirac, can be rederived with much less computation
and in an intuitively simple manner using our formalism.Comment: Submitted to Physical Review

Secondary ion mass spectrometry and x-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy of isotopically anomalous organic matter from CR1 chondrites GRO 95577
We located interstellar organics from a CR1 chondrite with NanoSIMS and analyzed FIB-extracted sections with XANES. D-rich material appears not associated with a functional group, whereas 15N-rich matter shows some affinity to nitrile functionality
Self-Focusing Dynamics of Coupled Optical Beams
We theoretically and experimentally investigate the mutual collapse dynamics
of two spatially separated optical beams in a Kerr medium. Depending on the
initial power, beam separation, and the relative phase, we observe repulsion or
attraction, which in the latter case reveals a sharp transition to a single
collapsing beam. This transition to fusion of the beams is accompanied by an
increase in the collapse distance, indicating the effect of the nonlinear
coupling on the individual collapse dynamics. Our results shed light on the
basic nonlinear interaction between self-focused beams and provide a mechanism
to control the collapse dynamics of such beams.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
