Critical Relaxation and Critical Exponents
Dynamic relaxation of the XY model and fully frustrated XY model quenched
from an initial ordered state to the critical temperature or below is
investigated with Monte Carlo methods. Universal power law scaling behaviour is
observed. The dynamic critical exponent and the static exponent are
extracted from the time-dependent Binder cumulant and magnetization. The
results are competitive to those measured with traditional methods
Linear and Non Linear Effects on the Newtonian Gravitational Constant as deduced from the Torsion Balance
The Newtonian gravitational constant has still 150 parts per million of
uncertainty. This paper examines the linear and nonlinear equations governing
the rotational dynamics of the torsion gravitational balance. A nonlinear
effect modifying the oscillation period of the torsion gravitational balance is
carefully explored.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figure

A Tri-band-notched UWB Antenna with Low Mutual Coupling between the Band-notched Structures
A compact printed U-shape ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with triple band-notched characteristics is presented. The proposed antenna, with compact size of 24×33 mm2, yields an impedance bandwidth of 2.8-12GHz for VSWR<2, except the notched bands. The notched bands are realized by introducing two different types of slots. Two C-shape half-wavelength slots are etched on the radiating patch to obtain two notched bands in 3.3-3.7GHz for WiMAX and 7.25-7.75GHz for downlink of X-band satellite communication systems. In order to minimize the mutual coupling between the band-notched structures, the middle notched band in 5-6GHz for WLAN is achieved by using a U-slot defected ground structure. The parametric study is carried out to understand the mutual coupling. Surface current distributions and equivalent circuit are used to illustrate the notched mechanism. The performance of this antenna both by simulation and by experiment indicates that the proposed antenna is suitable and a good candidate for UWB applications
Lattice Boltzmann modeling of multiphase flows at large density ratio with an improved pseudopotential model
Owing to its conceptual simplicity and computational efficiency, the
pseudopotential multiphase lattice Boltzmann (LB) model has attracted
significant attention since its emergence. In this work, we aim to extend the
pseudopotential LB model to simulate multiphase flows at large density ratio
and relatively high Reynolds number. First, based on our recent work [Li et
al., Phys. Rev. E. 86, 016709 (2012)], an improved forcing scheme is proposed
for the multiple-relaxation-time pseudopotential LB model in order to achieve
thermodynamic consistency and large density ratio in the model. Next, through
investigating the effects of the parameter a in the Carnahan-Starling equation
of state, we find that the interface thickness is approximately proportional to
1/sqrt(a). Using a smaller a will lead to a wider interface thickness, which
can reduce the spurious currents and enhance the numerical stability of the
pseudopotential model at large density ratio. Furthermore, it is found that a
lower liquid viscosity can be gained in the pseudopotential model by increasing
the kinematic viscosity ratio between the vapor and liquid phases. The improved
pseudopotential LB model is numerically validated via the simulations of
stationary droplet and droplet oscillation. Using the improved model as well as
the above treatments, numerical simulations of droplet splashing on a thin
liquid film are conducted at a density ratio in excess of 500 with Reynolds
numbers ranging from 40 to 1000. The dynamics of droplet splashing is correctly
reproduced and the predicted spread radius is found to obey the power law
reported in the literature.Comment: 9 figures, 2 tables, accepted by Physical Review E (in press
In-plane ferromagnetism in charge-ordering
The magnetic and transport properties are systematically studied on the
single crystal with charge ordering and divergency in
resistivity below 50 K. A long-range ferromagnetic ordering is observed in
susceptibility below 20 K with the magnetic field parallel to Co-O plane, while
a negligible behavior is observed with the field perpendicular to the Co-O
plane. It definitely gives a direct evidence for the existence of in-plane
ferromagnetism below 20 K. The observed magnetoresistance (MR) of 30 % at the
field of 6 T at low temperatures indicates an unexpectedly strong spin-charge
coupling in triangle lattice systems.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
