Study of Decays in the Family Non-universal Models
In a combined investigation of the decays,
constraints on the related couplings in family non-universal
models are derived. We find that within the allowed parameter space, the
recently observed forward-backward asymmetry in the
decay can be explained, by flipping the signs of the Wilson coefficients
and . With the obtained constraints, we also calculate
the branching ratio of the decay. The upper bound of our
prediction is near the upper bound given by CDF Collaboration recently.Comment: 19 pages, 4 figures, some errors corrected; Journal versio
Zero differential resistance in two-dimensional electron systems at large filling factors
We report on a state characterized by a zero differential resistance observed
in very high Landau levels of a high-mobility two-dimensional electron system.
Emerging from a minimum of Hall field-induced resistance oscillations at low
temperatures, this state exists over a continuous range of magnetic fields
extending well below the onset of the Shubnikov-de Haas effect. The minimum
current required to support this state is largely independent on the magnetic
field, while the maximum current increases with the magnetic field tracing the
onset of inter-Landau level scattering
Unique gap structure and symmetry of the charge density wave in single-layer VSe
Single layers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are excellent
candidates for electronic applications beyond the graphene platform; many of
them exhibit novel properties including charge density waves (CDWs) and
magnetic ordering. CDWs in these single layers are generally a planar
projection of the corresponding bulk CDWs because of the quasi-two-dimensional
nature of TMDCs; a different CDW symmetry is unexpected. We report herein the
successful creation of pristine single-layer VSe, which shows a () CDW in contrast to the (4 4) CDW for the layers in
bulk VSe. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) from the single
layer shows a sizable () CDW gap of 100 meV at the
zone boundary, a 220 K CDW transition temperature twice the bulk value, and no
ferromagnetic exchange splitting as predicted by theory. This robust CDW with
an exotic broken symmetry as the ground state is explained via a
first-principles analysis. The results illustrate a unique CDW phenomenon in
the two-dimensional limit
Non-linear magnetotransport in microwave-illuminated two-dimensional electron systems
We study magnetoresistivity oscillations in a high-mobility two-dimensional
electron system subject to both microwave and dc electric fields. First, we
observe that the oscillation amplitude is a periodic function of the inverse
magnetic field and is strongly suppressed at microwave frequencies near
half-integers of the cyclotron frequency. Second, we obtain a complete set of
conditions for the differential resistivity extrema and saddle points. These
findings indicate the importance of scattering without microwave absorption and
a special role played by microwave-induced scattering events antiparallel to
the electric field.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
PAN AIR: A computer program for predicting subsonic or supersonic linear potential flows about arbitrary configurations using a higher order panel method. Volume 4: Maintenance document (version 1.1)
The Maintenance Document is a guide to the PAN AIR software system, a system which computes the subsonic or supersonic linear potential flow about a body of nearly arbitrary shape, using a higher order panel method. The document describes the over-all system and each program module of the system. Sufficient detail is given for program maintenance, updating and modification. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with programming and CDC (Control Data Corporation) computer systems. The PAN AIR system was written in FORTRAN 4 language except for a few COMPASS language subroutines which exist in the PAN AIR library. Structured programming techniques were used to provide code documentation and maintainability. The operating systems accommodated are NOS 1.2, NOS/BE and SCOPE 2.1.3 on the CDC 6600, 7600 and Cyber 175 computing systems. The system is comprised of a data management system, a program library, an execution control module and nine separate FORTRAN technical modules. Each module calculates part of the posed PAN AIR problem. The data base manager is used to communicate between modules and within modules. The technical modules must be run in a prescribed fashion for each PAN AIR problem. In order to ease the problem of supplying the many JCL cards required to execute the modules, a separate module called MEC (Module Execution Control) was created to automatically supply most of the JCL cards. In addition to the MEC generated JCL, there is an additional set of user supplied JCL cards to initiate the JCL sequence stored on the system
Damping in 2D and 3D dilute Bose gases
Damping in 2D and 3D dilute gases is investigated using both the
hydrodynamical approach and the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) approximation .
We found that the both methods are good for the Beliaev damping at zero
temperature and Landau damping at very low temperature, however, at high
temperature, the hydrodynamical approach overestimates the Landau damping and
the HFB gives a better approximation. This result shows that the comparison of
the theoretical calculation using the hydrodynamical approach and the
experimental data for high temperature done by Vincent Liu (PRL {\bf21} 4056
(1997)) is not proper. For two-dimensional systems, we show that the Beliaev
damping rate is proportional to and the Landau damping rate is
proportional to for low temperature and to for high temperature. We
also show that in two dimensions the hydrodynamical approach gives the same
result for zero temperature and for low temperature as HFB, but overestimates
the Landau damping for high temperature.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figure
Exposing errors related to weak memory in GPU applications
© 2016 ACM.We present the systematic design of a testing environment that uses stressing and fuzzing to reveal errors in GPU applications that arise due to weak memory effects. We evaluate our approach on seven GPUS spanning three NVIDIA architectures, across ten CUDA applications that use fine-grained concurrency. Our results show that applications that rarely or never exhibit errors related to weak memory when executed natively can readily exhibit these errors when executed in our testing environment. Our testing environment also provides a means to help identify the root causes of such errors, and automatically suggests how to insert fences that harden an application against weak memory bugs. To understand the cost of GPU fences, we benchmark applications with fences provided by the hardening strategy as well as a more conservative, sound fencing strategy
