A Hardy's Uncertainty Principle Lemma in Weak Commutation Relations of Heisenberg-Lie Algebra
In this article we consider linear operators satisfying a generalized
commutation relation of a type of the Heisenberg-Lie algebra. It is proven that
a generalized inequality of the Hardy's uncertainty principle lemma follows.
Its applications to time operators and abstract Dirac operators are also
investigated
Electro-Mechanical Simulation of Switching Characteristics for Nanoelectromechanical Memory
The static switching properties and readout characteristics of proposed high-speed and nonvolatile nanoelectromechanical (NEM) memory devices are investigated By conducting a three-dimensional finite element mechanical simulation combined with an electrostatic analysis, we analyze the electromechanical switching operation of a mechanically bistable NEM floating gate by applying gate voltage. We show that switching voltage can be reduced to less than 10V by reducing the zero-bias displacement of the floating gate and optimizing the cavity structure to improve mechanical symmetry. We also analyze the electrical readout property of the NEM memory devices by combining the electromechanical simulation with a drift-diffusion analysis We demonstrate that the mechanically bistable states of the floating gate can be detected via the changes in drain current with an ON/OFF current ratio of about 3 x 10 (C) 2009 The Japan Society of Applied Physic
Monolithic Ge:Ga Detector Development for SAFARI
We describe the current status and the prospect for the development of
monolithic Ge:Ga array detector for SAFARI. Our goal is to develop a 64x64
array for the 45 -- 110 um band, on the basis of existing technologies to make
3x20 monolithic arrays for the AKARI satellite. For the AKARI detector we have
achieved a responsivity of 10 A/W and a read-out noise limited NEP (noise
equivalent power) of 10^-17 W/rHz. We plan to develop the detector for SAFARI
with technical improvements; significantly reduced read-out noise with newly
developed cold read-out electronics, mitigated spectral fringes as well as
optical cross-talks with a multi-layer antireflection coat. Since most of the
elemental technologies to fabricate the detector are flight-proven, high
technical readiness levels (TRLs) should be achieved for fabricating the
detector with the above mentioned technical demonstrations. We demonstrate some
of these elemental technologies showing results of measurements for test
coatings and prototype arrays.Comment: To appear in Proc. Workshop "The Space Infrared Telescope for

Upper limit to in scalar-tensor gravity theories
In a previous paper (Serna & Alimi 1996), we have pointed out the existence
of some particular scalar-tensor gravity theories able to relax the
nucleosynthesis constraint on the cosmic baryonic density. In this paper, we
present an exhaustive study of primordial nucleosynthesis in the framework of
such theories taking into account the currently adopted observational
constraints. We show that a wide class of them allows for a baryonic density
very close to that needed for the universe closure. This class of theories
converges soon enough towards General Relativity and, hence, is compatible with
all solar-system and binary pulsar gravitational tests. In other words, we show
that primordial nucleosynthesis does not always impose a very stringent bound
on the baryon contribution to the density parameter.Comment: uuencoded tar-file containing 16 pages, latex with 5 figures,

Phase reduction of stochastic limit cycle oscillators
We point out that the phase reduction of stochastic limit cycle oscillators
has been done incorrectly in the literature. We present a correct phase
reduction method for oscillators driven by weak external white Gaussian noises.
Numerical evidence demonstrates that the present phase equation properly
approximates the dynamics of the original full oscillator system.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
