Electrical phase change of CVD-grown Ge-Sb-Te thin film device
A prototype Ge-Sb-Te thin film phase-change memory device has been fabricated and reversible threshold and phase change switching demonstrated electrically, with a threshold voltage of 1.5 â 1.7 V. The Ge-Sb-Te thin film was fabricated by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) at atmospheric pressure using GeCl4, SbCl5, and Te precursors with reactive gas H2 at reaction temperature 780 °C and substrate temperature 250 °C. The surface morphology and composition of the CVD-grown Ge-Sb-Te thin film has been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). The CVD-grown Ge-Sb-Te thin film shows promise for the phase change memory applications
Inferring meta-covariates in classification
This paper develops an alternative method for gene selection that combines model based clustering and binary classification. By averaging the covariates within the clusters obtained from model based clustering, we define âmeta-covariatesâ and use them to build a probit regression model, thereby selecting clusters of similarly behaving genes, aiding interpretation. This simultaneous learning task is accomplished by an EM algorithm that optimises a single likelihood function which rewards good performance at both classification and clustering. We explore the performance of our methodology on a well known leukaemia dataset and use the Gene Ontology to interpret our results
PAMELA's cosmic positron from decaying LSP in SO(10) SUSY GUT
We propose two viable scenarios explaining the recent observations on cosmic
positron excess. In both scenarios, the present relic density in the Universe
is assumed to be still supported by thermally produced WIMP or LSP (\chi). One
of the scenarios is based on two dark matter (DM) components (\chi,X) scenario,
and the other is on SO(10) SUSY GUT. In the two DM components scenario,
extremely small amount of non-thermally produced meta-stable DM component
[O(10^{-10}) < n_X /n_\chi] explains the cosmic positron excess. In the SO(10)
model, extremely small R-parity violation for LSP decay to e^\pm is naturally
achieved with a non-zero VEV of the superpartner of one right-handed neutrino
(\tilde{\nu}^c) and a global symmetry.Comment: 6 pages, Talks presented in PASCOS, SUSY, and COSMO/CosPA in 201
On magnetic leaf-wise intersections
In this article we introduce the notion of a magnetic leaf-wise intersection
point which is a generalization of the leaf-wise intersection point with
magnetic effects. We also prove the existence of magnetic leaf-wise
intersection points under certain topological assumptions.Comment: 43 page

Non-Markovian Exciton-Phonon Interactions in Core-Shell Colloidal Quantum Dots at Femtosecond Timescales
CNPQ - CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTĂFICO E TECNOLĂGICOFAPESP - FUNDAĂĂO DE AMPARO Ă PESQUISA DO ESTADO DE SĂO PAULOWe perform two-dimensional coherent spectroscopy on CdSe/CdZnS core-shell colloidal quantum dots at cryogenic temperatures. In the two-dimensional spectra, sidebands due to electronic coupling with CdSe lattice LO-phonon modes are observed to have evolutions deviating from the exponential dephasing expected from Markovian spectral diffusion, which is instantaneous and memoryless. Comparison to simulations provides evidence that LO-phonon coupling induces energy-gap fluctuations on the finite timescales of nuclear motion. The femtosecond resolution of our technique probes exciton dynamics directly on the timescales of phonon coupling in nanocrystals.123516CNPQ - CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTĂFICO E TECNOLĂGICOFAPESP - FUNDAĂĂO DE AMPARO Ă PESQUISA DO ESTADO DE SĂO PAULOCNPQ - CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTĂFICO E TECNOLĂGICOFAPESP - FUNDAĂĂO DE AMPARO Ă PESQUISA DO ESTADO DE SĂO PAULOSem informação2013/16911-22016/50011-7This work was supported by the Department of Energy Grant No. DE-SC0015782.

Radion Dynamics and Phenomenology in the Linear Dilaton Model
We investigate the properties of the radion in the 5D linear dilaton model
arising from Little String Theory. A Goldberger-Wise type mechanism is used to
stabilise a large interbrane distance, with the dilaton now playing the role of
the stabilising field. We consider the coupled fluctuations of the metric and
dilaton fields and identify the physical scalar modes of the system. The
wavefunctions and masses of the radion and Kaluza-Klein modes are calculated,
giving a radion mass of order the curvature scale. As a result of the direct
coupling between the dilaton and Standard Model fields, the radion couples to
the SM Lagrangian, in addition to the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. The
effect of these additional interaction terms on the radion decay modes is
investigated, with a notable increase in the branching fraction to photons. We
also consider the effects of a non-minimal Higgs coupling to gravity, which
introduces a mixing between the Higgs and radion modes. Finally, we calculate
the production cross section of the radion at the LHC and use the current Higgs
searches to place constraints on the parameter space.Comment: 28 pages, 7 figures; v2: error in radion-gauge boson Feynman rules
