Scheduling language and algorithm development study. Volume 2, phase 2: Introduction to plans programming
A user guide for the Programming Language for Allocation and Network Scheduling (PLANS) is presented. Information is included for the construction of PLANS programs. The basic philosophy of PLANS is discussed, and access and update reference techniques are described along with the use of tree structures
Compressible Anisotropic States around the Half-Filled Landau Levels
Using the von Neumann lattice formalism, we study compressible anisotropic
states around the half-filled Landau levels in the quantum Hall system. In
these states the unidirectional charge density wave (UCDW) state seems to be
the most plausible state. The charge density profile and Hartree-Fock energy of
the UCDW are calculated self-consistently. The wave length dependence of the
energy for the UCDW is also obtained numerically. We show that the UCDW is
regarded as a collection of the one-dimensional lattice Fermi-gas systems which
extend to the uniform direction. The kinetic energy of the gas system is
generated dynamically from the Coulomb interaction.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, accepted version for publication in PR
Integer Quantum Hall Effect with Realistic Boundary Condition : Exact Quantization and Breakdown
A theory of integer quantum Hall effect(QHE) in realistic systems based on
von Neumann lattice is presented. We show that the momentum representation is
quite useful and that the quantum Hall regime(QHR), which is defined by the
propagator in the momentum representation, is realized. In QHR, the Hall
conductance is given by a topological invariant of the momentum space and is
quantized exactly. The edge states do not modify the value and topological
property of in QHR. We next compute distribution of current based
on effective action and find a finite amount of current in the bulk and the
edge, generally. Due to the Hall electric field in the bulk, breakdown of the
QHE occurs. The critical electric field of the breakdown is proportional to
and the proportional constant has no dependence on Landau levels in
our theory, in agreement with the recent experiments.Comment: 48 pages, figures not included, some additions and revision
Duality Relation among Periodic Potential Problems in the Lowest Landau Level
Using a momentum representation of a magnetic von Neumann lattice, we study a
two-dimensional electron in a uniform magnetic field and obtain one-particle
spectra of various periodic short-range potential problems in the lowest Landau
level.We find that the energy spectra satisfy a duality relation between a
period of the potential and a magnetic length. The energy spectra consist of
the Hofstadter-type bands and flat bands. We also study the connection between
a periodic short-range potential problem and a tight-binding model.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, final version to appear in PR
Polar Field Reversal Observations with Hinode
We have been monitoring yearly variation in the Sun's polar magnetic fields
with the Solar Optical Telescope aboard {\it Hinode} to record their evolution
and expected reversal near the solar maximum. All magnetic patches in the
magnetic flux maps are automatically identified to obtain the number density
and magnetic flux density as a function of th total magnetic flux per patch.
The detected magnetic flux per patch ranges over four orders of magnitude
( -- Mx). The higher end of the magnetic flux in the polar
regions is about one order of magnitude larger than that of the quiet Sun, and
nearly that of pores. Almost all large patches ( Mx) have the
same polarity, while smaller patches have a fair balance of both polarities.
The polarity of the polar region as a whole is consequently determined only by
the large magnetic concentrations. A clear decrease in the net flux of the
polar region is detected in the slow rising phase of the current solar cycle.
The decrease is more rapid in the north polar region than in the south. The
decrease in the net flux is caused by a decrease in the number and size of the
large flux concentrations as well as the appearance of patches with opposite
polarity at lower latitudes. In contrast, we do not see temporal change in the
magnetic flux associated with the smaller patches ( Mx) and that of
the horizontal magnetic fields during the years 2008--2012.Comment: 21 pages, 7 figures. Accepted for publication in Ap
Operation of Faddeev-Kernel in Configuration Space
We present a practical method to solve Faddeev three-body equations at
energies above three-body breakup threshold as integral equations in coordinate
space. This is an extension of previously used method for bound states and
scattering states below three-body breakup threshold energy. We show that
breakup components in three-body reactions produce long-range effects on
Faddeev integral kernels in coordinate space, and propose numerical procedures
to treat these effects. Using these techniques, we solve Faddeev equations for
neutron-deuteron scattering to compare with benchmark solutions.Comment: 20 pages, 8 figures, to be published in Few-Body System
Incommensurate phonon anomaly and the nature of charge density waves in cuprates
While charge density wave (CDW) instabilities are ubiquitous to
superconducting cuprates, the different ordering wavevectors in various cuprate
families have hampered a unified description of the CDW formation mechanism.
Here we investigate the temperature dependence of the low energy phonons in the
canonical CDW ordered cuprate LaBaCuO. We discover
that the phonon softening wavevector associated with CDW correlations becomes
temperature dependent in the high-temperature precursor phase and changes from
a wavevector of 0.238 reciprocal space units (r.l.u.) below the ordering
transition temperature up to 0.3~r.l.u. at 300~K. This high-temperature
behavior shows that "214"-type cuprates can host CDW correlations at a similar
wavevector to previously reported CDW correlations in non-"214"-type cuprates
such as YBaCuO. This indicates that cuprate CDWs may
arise from the same underlying instability despite their apparently different
low temperature ordering wavevectors.Comment: Accepted in Phys. Rev. X; 9 pages; 5 figures; 3 pages of
