Superconductivity-induced Phonon Renormalization on NaFeCoAs
We report a study of the lattice dynamics in superconducting NaFeAs (Tc = 8
K) and doped NaFe0.97Co0.03As (Tc = 20 K) using Raman light scattering. Five of
the six phonon modes expected from group theory are observed. In contrast with
results obtained on iso-structural and iso-electronic LiFeAs, anomalous
broadening of Eg(As) and A1g(Na) modes upon cooling is observed in both
samples. In addition, in the Co-doped sample, a superconductivity-induced
renormalization of the frequency and linewidth of the B1g(Fe) vibration is
observed. This renormalization can not be understood within a single band and
simple multi-band approaches. A theoretical model that includes the effects of
SDW correlations along with sign-changing s-wave pairing state and interband
scattering has been developed to explain the observed behavior of the B1g(Fe)
mode.Comment: 10 pages; 6 figure
Interaction-induced localization of anomalously-diffracting nonlinear waves
We study experimentally the interactions between normal solitons and tilted
beams in glass waveguide arrays. We find that as a tilted beam, traversing away
from a normally propagating soliton, coincides with the self-defocusing regime
of the array, it can be refocused and routed back into any of the intermediate
sites due to the interaction, as a function of the initial phase difference.
Numerically, distinct parameter regimes exhibiting this behavior of the
interaction are identified.Comment: Physical Review Letters, in pres
Unified nonequilibrium dynamical theory for exchange bias and training effects
We investigate the exchange bias and training effects in the FM/AF
heterostructures using a unified Monte Carlo dynamical approach. This real
dynamical method has been proved reliable and effective in simulating dynamical
magnetization of nanoscale magnetic systems. The magnetization of the
uncompensated AF layer is still open after the first field cycling is finished.
Our simulated results show obvious shift of hysteresis loops (exchange bias)
and cycling dependence of exchange bias (training effect) when the temperature
is below 45 K. The exchange bias fields decrease with decreasing the cooling
rate or increasing the temperature and the number of the field cycling. With
the simulations, we show the exchange bias can be manipulated by controlling
the cooling rate, the distributive width of the anisotropy energy, or the
magnetic coupling constants. Essentially, these two effects can be explained on
the basis of the microscopical coexistence of both reversible and irreversible
moment reversals of the AF domains. Our simulated results are useful to really
understand the magnetization dynamics of such magnetic heterostructures. This
unified nonequilibrium dynamical method should be applicable to other exchange
bias systems.Comment: Chin. Phys. B, in pres
Collapse arrest and soliton stabilization in nonlocal nonlinear media
We investigate the properties of localized waves in systems governed by
nonlocal nonlinear Schrodinger type equations. We prove rigorously by bounding
the Hamiltonian that nonlocality of the nonlinearity prevents collapse in,
e.g., Bose-Einstein condensates and optical Kerr media in all physical
dimensions. The nonlocal nonlinear response must be symmetric, but can be of
completely arbitrary shape. We use variational techniques to find the soliton
solutions and illustrate the stabilizing effect of nonlocality.Comment: 4 pages with 3 figure
Marginally Trapped Surfaces in the Nonsymmetric Gravitational Theory
We consider a simple, physical approach to the problem of marginally trapped
surfaces in the Nonsymmetric Gravitational Theory (NGT). We apply this approach
to a particular spherically symmetric, Wyman sector gravitational field,
consisting of a pulse in the antisymmetric field variable. We demonstrate that
marginally trapped surfaces do exist for this choice of initial data.Comment: REVTeX 3.0 with epsf macros and AMS symbols, 3 pages, 1 figur
The Insect Growth Regulator, Triflumuron (Oms-2015) Against Aedes Aegypti in Jakarta, Indonesia
Uji laboratorium dan lapangan dengan IGR Triflumuron (OMS-2015) terhadap larva nyamuk Aedes aegypti telah dilakukan di Jakarta. Uji laboratorium dilakukan dengan 6 variasi dosis, yaitu 0,004; 0,011; 0,034; 0,10; 0,33 dan 1,0 ppm Triflumuron terhadap perkembangan larva nyamuk Ae. aegypti di dalam tempayan. Dari uji laboratorium dapat diketahui bahwa Triflumuron dengan dosis 0,004 ppm dapat menekan perkembangan pupa untuk menjadi dewasa dalam waktu 2 minggu, sedangkan dosis 0,10 ppm menekan padat populasi nyamuk Ae. aegypti selama 4 minggu dan dosis 1,0 ppm menekan padat populasi nyamuk Ae. aegypti selama 8 minggu. Uji lapangan dengan menggunakan Triflumuron di daerah pelabuhan Tanjung Priok, Jakarta, seluas 27 hektar dengan dua kali perlakuan, dengan dosis 0,042 dan 0,075 ppm, terjadi penurunan populasi nyamuk Ae. aegypti dewasa dan indeks pupa menjadi 0 dalam 4 hari setelah perlakuan. Penurunan populasi nyamuk Ae. aegypti dewasa terlihat setelah 2 minggu sesudah perlakuan dengan tidak berhasilnya larva/pupa menjadi nyamuk dewasa
Parameterized Directed -Chinese Postman Problem and Arc-Disjoint Cycles Problem on Euler Digraphs
In the Directed -Chinese Postman Problem (-DCPP), we are given a
connected weighted digraph and asked to find non-empty closed directed
walks covering all arcs of such that the total weight of the walks is
minimum. Gutin, Muciaccia and Yeo (Theor. Comput. Sci. 513 (2013) 124--128)
asked for the parameterized complexity of -DCPP when is the parameter.
We prove that the -DCPP is fixed-parameter tractable.
We also consider a related problem of finding arc-disjoint directed
cycles in an Euler digraph, parameterized by . Slivkins (ESA 2003) showed
that this problem is W[1]-hard for general digraphs. Generalizing another
result by Slivkins, we prove that the problem is fixed-parameter tractable for
Euler digraphs. The corresponding problem on vertex-disjoint cycles in Euler
digraphs remains W[1]-hard even for Euler digraphs
Effect of Impurities with Internal Structure on Multiband Superconductors - Possible Enhancement of Transition Temperature -
We study inelastic (dynamical) impurity scattering effects in two-band
superconductors with the same ( wave) or different ( wave) sign
order parameters. We focus on the enhancement of the superconducting transition
temperature by magnetic interband scattering with the interchange
of crystal-field singlet ground and multiplet excited states. Either the
-wave or -wave state is favored by the impurity-mediated
pairing, which depends on the magnetic and nonmagnetic scattering strengths
derived from the hybridization of the impurity states with the conduction
bands. The details are examined for the singlet-triplet configuration that is
suggestive of Pr impurities in the skutterudite superconductor
