Nodeless energy gaps of single-crystalline Ba0.68K0.32Fe2As2 as seen via 75As NMR
We report As nuclear magnetic resonance studies on a very clean
hole-doped single-crystal BaKFeAs ( K). The spin-lattice relaxation rate shows an exponential
decrease below down to ,
which indicates a fully opened energy gap. From the ratio , where and denote the crystal directions, we find that the
antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation is anisotropic in the spin space above
. The anisotropy decreases below and disappears at . We argue that the anisotropy stems from spin-orbit coupling
whose effect vanishes when spin-singlet electron pairs form with a nodeless
gap.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figure
deTector: a Topology-aware Monitoring System for Data Center Networks
Troubleshooting network performance issues is a challenging task especially in large-scale data center networks. This paper presents deTector, a network monitoring system that is able to detect and localize network failures (manifested mainly by packet losses) accurately in near real time while minimizing the monitoring overhead. deTector achieves this goal by tightly coupling detection and localization and carefully selecting probe paths so that packet losses can be localized only according to end-to-end observations without the help of additional tools (e.g., tracert). In particular, we quantify the desirable properties of the matrix of probe paths, i.e., coverage and identifiability, and leverage an efficient greedy algorithm with a good approximation ratio and fast speed to select probe paths. We also propose a loss localization method according to loss patterns in a data center network. Our algorithm analysis, experimental evaluation on a Fattree testbed and supplementary large-scale simulation validate the scalability, feasibility and effectiveness of deTector.published_or_final_versio
Non-Gaussian features from the inverse volume corrections in loop quantum cosmology
In this paper we study the non-Gaussian features of the primordial
fluctuations in loop quantum cosmology with the inverse volume corrections. The
detailed analysis is performed in the single field slow-roll inflationary
models. However, our results reflect the universal characteristics of
bispectrum in loop quantum cosmology. The main corrections to the scalar
bispectrum come from two aspects: one is the modifications to the standard
Bunch-Davies vacuum, the other is the corrections to the background dependent
variables, such as slow-roll parameters. Our calculations show that the loop
quantum corrections make of the inflationary models increase
0.1%. Moreover, we find that two new shapes arise, namely and
. The former gives a unique loop quantum feature which is less
correlated with the local, equilateral and single types, while the latter is
highly correlated with the local one.Comment: matched to the published version. 30 pages, 4 figure
Exact Ampitude Ratio and Finite-Size Corrections for the M x N Square Lattice Ising Model The :
Let f, U and C represent, respectively, the free energy, the internal energy
and the specific heat of the critical Ising model on the square M x N lattice
with periodic boundary conditions. We find that N f and U are well-defined odd
function of 1/N. We also find that ratios of subdominant (N^(-2 i - 1))
finite-size corrections amplitudes for the internal energy and the specific
heat are constant. The free energy and the internal energy at the critical
point are calculated asymtotically up to N^(-5) order, and the specific heat up
to N^(-3) order.Comment: 18 pages, 4 figures, to be published in Phys. Rev. E 65, 1 February
