Zigzag Filamentary Theory of Broken Symmetry of Neutron and Infrared Vibronic Spectra of YBa2Cu3O(6+x)
Filamentary high-temperature superconductivity (HTSC) theory differs
fundamentally from continuous HTSC theories because it emphasizes
self-organized, discrete dopant networks and does not make the effective medium
approximation (EMA). Analysis of neutron and infrared (especially with c-axis
polarization) vibrational spectra, primarily for YBa2Cu3O(6+x), within the
filamentary framework, shows that the observed vibronic anomalies near 400 cm-1
(50 meV) are associated with curvilinear filamentary paths. these paths pass
through cuprate chains and planes, as well as resonant tunneling centers in the
BaO layers. The analysis and the data confirm earlier filamentary structural
models containing ferroelastic domains of 3-4 nm in the CuO2 planes; it is
these nanodomains that are responsible for the discrete glassy nature of both
electronic and vibronic properties. Chemical trends in vibronic energies and
oscillator strengths, both for neutron and photon scattering, that were
anomalous in continuum models, are readily explained by the filamentary model.Comment: 45 pages, 17 figures, PD
Third-order Intermodulation Reduction in Mobile Power Amplifiers by the First Stage Bias Control
In this paper, the third order intermodulation distortion (IMD3) of three-stage power amplifier (PA) is analyzed using the Volterra series. The analysis explains how the total IMD3 of the three-stage power amplifier can be reduced by the first-stage bias condition. The three-stage PA, which is fabricated using InGaP/GaAs hetero-junction bipolar transistor (HBT), operates with an optimized first driver stage bias for higher P1dB and good gain flatness. The power amplifier has been designed for 1626.5 MHz~1660.5 MHz satellite mobile communications. With π/4 DQPSK modulation signals, this PA can deliver a highly linear output power of 33 dBm from 3.6V supply voltage. At 33 dBm output power, it shows a gain of 31.9 dB, a power-added efficiency (PAE) of 39.8%, an adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) of -28.2 dBc at a 31.25 KHz offset frequency
Canonically Transformed Detectors Applied to the Classical Inverse Scattering Problem
The concept of measurement in classical scattering is interpreted as an
overlap of a particle packet with some area in phase space that describes the
detector. Considering that usually we record the passage of particles at some
point in space, a common detector is described e.g. for one-dimensional systems
as a narrow strip in phase space. We generalize this concept allowing this
strip to be transformed by some, possibly non-linear, canonical transformation,
introducing thus a canonically transformed detector. We show such detectors to
be useful in the context of the inverse scattering problem in situations where
recently discovered scattering echoes could not be seen without their help.
More relevant applications in quantum systems are suggested.Comment: 8 pages, 15 figures. Better figures can be found in the original

Transport in Graphene Tunnel Junctions
We present a technique to fabricate tunnel junctions between graphene and Al
and Cu, with a Si back gate, as well as a simple theory of tunneling between a
metal and graphene. We map the differential conductance of our junctions versus
probe and back gate voltage, and observe fluctuations in the conductance that
are directly related to the graphene density of states. The conventional
strong-suppression of the conductance at the graphene Dirac point can not be
clearly demonstrated, but a more robust signature of the Dirac point is found:
the inflection in the conductance map caused by the electrostatic gating of
graphene by the tunnel probe. We present numerical simulations of our
conductance maps, confirming the measurement results. In addition, Al causes
strong n-doping of graphene, Cu causes a moderate p-doping, and in high
resistance junctions, phonon resonances are observed, as in STM studies.Comment: 22 pages, 5 figure
Quantum and classical echoes in scattering systems described by simple Smale horseshoes
We explore the quantum scattering of systems classically described by binary
and other low order Smale horseshoes, in a stage of development where the
stable island associated with the inner periodic orbit is large, but chaos
around this island is well developed. For short incoming pulses we find
periodic echoes modulating an exponential decay over many periods. The period
is directly related to the development stage of the horseshoe. We exemplify our
studies with a one-dimensional system periodically kicked in time and we
mention possible experiments.Comment: 7 pages with 6 reduced quality figures! Please contact the authors

Magneto-electric coupling in zigzag graphene nanoribbons
Zigzag graphene nanoribbons can have magnetic ground states with
ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic, or canted configurations, depending on
carrier density. We show that an electric field directed across the ribbon
alters the magnetic state, favoring antiferromagnetic configurations. This
property can be used to prepare ribbons with a prescribed spin-orientation on a
given edge.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Ferromagnetic Domain Structure of La0.78Ca0.22MnO3 Single Crystals
The magneto-optical technique has been employed to observe spontaneous
ferromagnetic domain structures in La0.78Ca0.22MnO3 single crystals. The
magnetic domain topology was found to be correlated with the intrinsic twin
structure of the investigated crystals. With decreasing temperature the regular
network of ferromagnetic domains undergoes significant changes resulting in
apparent rotation of the domain walls in the temperature range of 70-150 K. The
apparent rotation of the domain walls can be understood in terms of the
Jahn-Teller deformation of the orthorhombic unit cell, accompanied by
additional twinning.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures, to be published in PR
