Pattern Synthesis of Dual-band Shared Aperture Interleaved Linear Antenna Arrays
This paper presents an approach to improve the efficiency of an array aperture by interleaving two different arrays in the same aperture area. Two sub-arrays working at different frequencies are interleaved in the same linear aperture area. The available aperture area is efficiently used. The element positions of antenna array are optimized by using Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO) to reduce the peak side lobe level (PSLL) of the radiation pattern. To overcome the shortness of traditional methods which can only fulfill the design of shared aperture antenna array working at the same frequency, this method can achieve the design of dual-band antenna array with wide working frequency range. Simulation results show that the proposed method is feasible and efficient in the synthesis of dual-band shared aperture antenna array
Overall properties of the Gaia DR1 reference frame
We compare quasar positions of the auxiliary quasar solution with ICRF2
sources using different samples and evaluate the influence on the {\it Gaia}
DR1 reference frame owing to the Galactic aberration effect over the
J2000.0-J20015.0 period. Then we estimate the global rotation between TGAS with
{\it Tycho}-2 proper motion systems to investigate the property of the {\it
Gaia} DR1 reference frame. Finally, the Galactic kinematics analysis using the
K-M giant proper motions is performed to understand the property of {\it Gaia}
DR1 reference frame. The positional comparison between the auxiliary quasar
solution and ICRF2 shows negligible orientation and validates the declination
bias of \mas~in {\it Gaia} quasar positions with respect to ICRF2.
Galactic aberration effect is thought to cause an offset \mas~of
the axis direction of {\it Gaia} DR1 reference frame. The global rotation
between TGAS and {\it Tycho}-2 proper motion systems, obtained by different
samples, shows a much smaller value than the claimed value \masyr. For
the Galactic kinematics analysis of the TGAS K-M giants, we find possible
non-zero Galactic rotation components beyond the classical Oort constants: the
rigid part \masyr~and the differential part
\masyr~around the axis of Galactic
coordinates, which indicates possible residual rotation in {\it Gaia} DR1
reference frame or problems in the current Galactic kinematical model.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure. Accepted for publication in A&
Hot Spots on the Fermi Surface of Bi2212: Stripes versus Superstructure
In a recent paper Saini et al. have reported evidence for a pseudogap around
(pi,0) at room temperature in the optimally doped superconductor Bi2212. This
result is in contradiction with previous ARPES measurements. Furthermore they
observed at certain points on the Fermi surface hot spots of high spectral
intensity which they relate to the existence of stripes in the CuO planes. They
also claim to have identified a new electronic band along Gamma-M1 whose one
dimensional character provides further evidence for stripes. We demonstrate in
this Comment that all the measured features can be simply understood by
correctly considering the superstructure (umklapp) and shadow bands which occur
in Bi2212.Comment: 1 page, revtex, 1 encapsulated postscript figure (color
Evolution of the Fermi surface with carrier concentration in Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+\delta}
We show, by use of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, that underdoped
Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+\delta} appears to have a large Fermi surface centered at
(\pi,\pi), even for samples with a T_c as low as 15 K. No clear evidence of a
Fermi surface pocket around (\pi/2,\pi/2) has been found. These conclusions are
based on a determination of the minimum gap locus in the pseudogap regime T_c <
T < T^*, which is found to coincide with the locus of gapless excitations in
momentum space (Fermi surface) determined above T^*. These results suggest that
the pseudogap is more likely of precursor pairing rather than magnetic origin.Comment: 4 pages, revtex, 4 postscript color figure
On the \phi(1020)f_0(980) S-wave scattering and the Y(2175) resonance
We have studied the \phi(1020)f_0(980) S-wave scattering at energies around
threshold employing chiral Lagrangians coupled to vector mesons through minimal
coupling. The interaction kernel is obtained by considering the f_0(980) as a
K\bar{K} bound state. The Y(2175) resonance is generated in this approach by
the self-interactions between the \phi(1020) and the f_0(980) resonances. We
are able to describe the e^+e^-\to \phi(1020)f_0(980) recent scattering data to
test experimentally our scattering amplitudes, concluding that the Y(2175)
resonance has a large \phi(1020)f_0(980) meson-meson component.Comment: 20 pages, 8 figure
Physical implementation of holonomic quantum computation in decoherence-free subspaces with trapped ions
We propose a feasible scheme to achieve holonomic quantum computation in a
decoherence-free subspace (DFS) with trapped ions. By the application of
appropriate bichromatic laser fields on the designated ions, we are able to
construct two noncommutable single-qubit gates and one controlled-phase gate
using the holonomic scenario in the encoded DFS.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures. To appear in Phys. Rev. A 74 (2006
Charmonium properties in hot quenched lattice QCD
We study the properties of charmonium states at finite temperature in
quenched QCD on large and fine isotropic lattices. We perform a detailed
analysis of charmonium correlation and spectral functions both below and above
. Our analysis suggests that both S wave states ( and )
and P wave states ( and ) disappear already at about . The charm diffusion coefficient is estimated through the Kubo formula and
found to be compatible with zero below and approximately at
