Magnetic avalanche-like behavior in disordered manganite (Eu0.4La0.1)(Sr0.4Ca0.1)MnO3
The half-doped manganite, (Eu0.4La0.1)(Sr0.4Ca0.1)MnO3, has been found to
exhibit sharp step-like metamagnetic transitions below 5 K. The number of
magnetic steps increases with decreasing temperature and this number suddenly
rises from 3 at 2 K to ~50 at 1.7 K. The self-similar character of the multiple
magnetic steps at reduced temperature identifies these steps as avalanche-like
transitions. The occurrence of a multitude of magnetic steps at low
temperatures, the decreasing effect of magnetic field sweep rate on the
step-like metamagnetism, and the decreasing irreversibility of transition in
the specific heat suggest that reduced spin-lattice coupling facilitates the
transformation of antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic state via an
avalanche-like behavior.Comment: 13 pages, 5 Figure
Direct correlation between 1/f magnetonoise and magnetoresistance in La<SUB>0.7</SUB>Sr<SUB>0.3</SUB>MnO<SUB>3</SUB> and (La<SUB>0.5</SUB>Pr<SUB>0.2</SUB>)Ba<SUB>0.3</SUB>MnO<SUB>3</SUB> manganites
Temperature- and magnetic-field-dependent electrical noise and electrical resistivity measurements were carried out on epitaxial thin films of a large bandwidth La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 and a disordered intermediate bandwidth (La0.5Pr0.2)Ba0.3MnO3 manganite system. The power spectral density was dominated by 1/f noise. This 1/f noise was observed to follow the overall temperature dependence of the resistivity. Moreover, in these compounds the magnetonoise effect was found to be of nearly the same magnitude as the magnetoresistance. This direct correlation between magnetonoise and magnetoresistance suggests that the enhanced 1/f noise has its origin in intrinsic charge-carrier density fluctuations
Study of Dissipative Collisions of Ne (7-11 MeV/nucleon) + Al
The inclusive energy distributions of complex fragments (3 Z 9)
emitted in the reactions Ne (145, 158, 200, 218 MeV) + Al have
been measured in the angular range 10 - 50. The fusion-fission and
the deep-inelastic components of the fragment yield have been extracted using
multiple Gaussian functions from the experimental fragment energy spectra. The
elemental yields of the fusion-fission component have been found to be fairly
well exlained in the framework of standard statistical model. It is found that
there is strong competition between the fusion-fission and the deep-inelastic
processes at these energies. The time scale of the deep-inelastic process was
estimated to be typically in the range of 10 - 10 sec.,
and it was found to decrease with increasing fragment mass. The angular
momentum dissipations in fully energy damped deep-inelastic process have been
estimated from the average energies of the deep-inelastic components of the
fragment energy spectra. It has been found that, the estimated angular momentum
dissipations, for lighter fragments in particular, are more than those
predicted by the empirical sticking limit.Comment: 16 pages, 9 figure
Power Grid Frequency Forecasting from μPMU Data using Hybrid Vector-Output LSTM network
The instantaneous balance of electrical supply and
demand on the power grid is indicated by the power grid
frequency, making it a pivotal variable for power system controls. Accurate frequency forecasting could enable new faster means of frequency management that enhance power system stability. A hybrid vector-output Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network has been studied using microsynchrophasor data to predict trajectories. The objective of this research is to evaluate
the effectiveness of very short time horizon frequency prediction using this method. The proposed model has been trained with over and under-frequency operational limit excursion events as well as normal condition state, with the goal of minimising prediction errors. Training and testing have been conducted using 390,000 datapoints covering 65 frequency events obtained from a distribution grid connected solar farm in England. The results demonstrate this method can provide useful grid frequency projections and shed light on underlying behaviour.
