Atomically thin dilute magnetism in Co-doped phosphorene
Two-dimensional dilute magnetic semiconductors can provide fundamental
insights in the very nature of magnetic orders and their manipulation through
electron and hole doping. Despite the fundamental physics, due to the large
charge density control capability in these materials, they can be extremely
important in spintronics applications such as spin valve and spin-based
transistors. In this article, we studied a two-dimensional dilute magnetic
semiconductors consisting of phosphorene monolayer doped with cobalt atoms in
substitutional and interstitial defects. We show that these defects can be
stabilized and are electrically active. Furthermore, by including holes or
electrons by a potential gate, the exchange interaction and magnetic order can
be engineered, and may even induce a ferromagnetic-to-antiferromagnetic phase
transition in p-doped phosphorene.Comment: 7 pages, 4 colorful figure
Continuity properties of a factor of Markov chains
Starting from a Markov chain with a finite alphabet, we consider the chain
obtained when all but one symbol are undistinguishable for the practitioner. We
study necessary and sufficient conditions for this chain to have continuous
transition probabilities with respect to the past
Decoherence, pointer engineering and quantum state protection
We present a proposal for protecting states against decoherence, based on the
engineering of pointer states. We apply this procedure to the vibrational
motion of a trapped ion, and show how to protect qubits, squeezed states,
approximate phase eigenstates and superpositions of coherent states.Comment: 1 figur
Non-Linear Supersymmetric -Models and their Gauging in the Atiyah-Ward Space-Time
We present a supersymmetric non-linear \s-model built up in the
superspace of Atiyah-Ward space-time. A manifold of the K\"ahler type comes out
that is restricted by a particular decomposition of the K\"ahler potential. The
gauging of the \s-model isometries is also accomplished in superspace.Comment: 15 pages, Latex, no figure
