    Analytic solution of charge density of single wall carbon nanotube in conditions of field electron emission

    Full text link
    We derived the analytic solution of induced electrostatic potential along single wall carbon nanotubes. Under the hypothesis of constant density of states in the charge-neutral level, we are able to obtain the linear density of excess charge in an external field parallel to the tube axis.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

    Quantum state transmission via a spin ladder as a robust data bus

    Full text link
    We explore the physical mechanism to coherently transfer the quantum information of spin by connecting two spins to an isotropic antiferromagnetic spin ladder system as data bus. Due to a large spin gap existing in such a perfect medium, the effective Hamiltonian of the two connected spins can be archived as that of Heisenberg type, which possesses a ground state with maximal entanglement. We show that the effective coupling strength is inversely proportional to the distance of the two spins and thus the quantum information can be transferred between the two spins separated by a longer distance, i.e. the characteristic time of quantum state transferring linearly depends on the distance.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures, 1 tabl

    Coherent heteronuclear spin dynamics in an ultracold spin-1 mixture

    Get PDF
    We report the observation of coherent heteronuclear spin dynamics driven by inter-species spin-spin interaction in an ultracold spinor mixture, which manifests as periodical and well correlated spin oscillations between two atomic species. In particular, we investigate the magnetic field dependence of the oscillations and find a resonance behavior which depends on {\em both} the linear and quadratic Zeeman effects and the spin-dependent interaction. We also demonstrate a unique knob for controlling the spin dynamics in the spinor mixture with species-dependent vector light shifts. Our finds are in agreement with theoretical simulations without any fitting parameters.Comment: 13 pages including the supplementary materia

    Fusion Reactivities with Drift bi-Maxwellian Ion Velocity Distributions

    Full text link
    The calculation of fusion reactivity involves a complex six-dimensional integral that takes into account the fusion cross-section and velocity distributions of two reactants. However, a more simplified one-dimensional integral form can be useful in certain cases, such as for studying fusion yield or diagnosing ion energy spectra. This simpler form has been derived in a few special cases, such as for a combination of two Maxwellian distributions, a beam-Maxwellian combination, and a beam-target combination, and can greatly reduce computational costs. In this study, it is shown that the reactivity for two drift bi-Maxwellian reactants with different drift velocities, temperatures, and anisotropies can also be reduced to a one-dimensional form, unifying existing derivations into a single expression. This result is used to investigate the potential enhancement of fusion reactivity due to the combination of beam and temperature anisotropies. For relevant parameters in fusion energy, the enhancement factor can be larger than 20\%, which is particularly significant for proton-boron (p-B11) fusion, as this factor can have a significant impact on the Lawson fusion gain criteria.Comment: 12 pages, 10 figures, 1 supplementary material for detail derivatio
