Phase-imprint induced domain formations and spin dynamics in spinor condensates

We demonstrate that certain domain structures can be created both in ferro- and antiferro-magnetic spinor condensates if the initial phase is spatially modulated. Meanwhile, spin dynamics of the condensate with modulated phases exhibits exotic features in comparison with those of a condensate with a uniform phase. We expect that these phenomena could be observed experimentally using a phase-imprinting method.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev.

Reentrance of Bose-Einstein condensation in spinor atomic gases in magnetic field

We calculate the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) temperature of spin-1 atomic bosons in external magnetic field, taking into account the influence of the quadratic Zeeman effect. In case that the quadratic Zeeman coefficient is positive, the BEC temperature exhibits a nontrivial dependance on the magnetic field and a magnetic-field-induced reentrant phenomenon of BEC is observed. This phenomenon could be well understood by the competition between the linear and quadratic Zeeman effects. Reentrance of BEC in a trapped spinor Bose gas is also discussed.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure

Thermodynamic properties of the itinerant-boson ferromagnet

Thermodynamics of a spin-1 Bose gas with ferromagnetic interactions are investigated via the mean-field theory. It is apparently shown in the specific heat curve that the system undergoes two phase transitions, the ferromagnetic transition and the Bose-Einstein condensation, with the Curie point above the condensation temperature. Above the Curie point, the susceptibility fits the Curie-Weiss law perfectly. At a fixed temperature, the reciprocal susceptibility is also in a good linear relationship with the ferromagnetic interaction.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure

ON WEAKLY SS-QUASINORMAL SUBGROUPS OF FINITE GROUPS

Let H be a subgroup of a finite group G, then we say that H is weakly SSquasinormal in G, if there exists a normal subgroup T of G such that HT is s-permutable and H ∩ T is SS-quasinormal in G. In this paper, we investigate the influence of some weakly SS-quasinormal subgroups on the structure of G. Some new criterias about the p-nilpotency and supersolubility of a finite group were obtained. We also generalized some known results about formations

Leakage current simulations of Low Gain Avalanche Diode with improved Radiation Damage Modeling

We report precise TCAD simulations of IHEP-IME-v1 Low Gain Avalanche Diode (LGAD) calibrated by secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS). Our setup allows us to evaluate the leakage current, capacitance, and breakdown voltage of LGAD, which agree with measurements' results before irradiation. And we propose an improved LGAD Radiation Damage Model (LRDM) which combines local acceptor removal with global deep energy levels. The LRDM is applied to the IHEP-IME-v1 LGAD and able to predict the leakage current well at -30 $^{\circ}$C after an irradiation fluence of $\Phi_{eq}=2.5 \times 10^{15} ~n_{eq}/cm^{2}$. The charge collection efficiency (CCE) is under development

Optimization of starting and stopping technology for coal flow system of coal preparation plant

For problems of long starting and stopping time and large power consumption existed in current starting and stopping technology for coal flow system of coal preparation plant, an optimization scheme of starting and stopping technology for coal flow system of coal preparation plant was proposed. Equipments of coal flow system powered by the same transformer are taken as starting unit. Equipments in the same starting unit start simultaneously or start in batches in set sequence according to load factor of the transformer, and different starting units start simultaneously. No-coal time node of each equipment of coal flow system is measured manually, and equipment stopping time node delays 3-5 seconds behind the no-coal time node, so as to realize each equipment stopping wihout coal immediately according to direction of coal flow. The actual application results show that starting time reduces 57.9% and stopping time reduces 35.2% by use of the optimization scheme, which achieves good energy-saving effect

Fracture failure analysis of the pump shaft

The failure reasons of the circulating pump shaft in the upper section of the quench tower were analyzed by means of chemical composition analysis, macroscopic observation, metallographic examination and fracture section analysis. The analysis result shows that the calcium-silicate inclusions in the surface of the pump shaft cause the microcracks and the parallel fatigue sources, which leads to the fatigue cracks propagation under alternating load and finally the shaft is fatigue fractured

Predictive role of endothelin in left ventricular remodeling of chronic kidney disease

Background: In chronic kidney disease (CKD), endothelin-1 (ET-1) always increases and there are changes in cardiac ultrasonography. In the present study, we aimed at investigating the role of serum ET-1 in predicting cardiac complications in patients with CKD. Methods: The level of serum ET-1 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and cardiac ultrasonography was performed in enrolled patients. Indexes of heart failure, such as left ventricular mass index, interventricular septum thickness and left ventricular end diastolic diameter, were measured in patients with CKD. Results: In the present study, we found that the level of serum ET-1 was significantly correlated with left ventricular mass index, interventricular septum thickness and left ventricular end diastolic diameter (p < .001) in non-dialysis patients with CKD. Conclusions: The results of the present study indicated that the level of serum ET-1 is closely related to the cardiac complications of CKD and is a useful predictor of cardiac complication
