    Coupled Superconducting Phase and Ferromagnetic Order Parameter Dynamics

    Full text link
    Via a direct coupling between the magnetic order parameter and the singlet Josephson supercurrent, we detect spin-wave resonances, and their dispersion, in ferromagnetic Josephson junctions in which the usual insulating or metallic barrier is replaced with a weak ferromagnet. The coupling arises within the Fraunhofer interferential description of the Josephson effect, because the magnetic layer acts as a time dependent phase plate. A spin-wave resonance at a frequency ws implies a dissipation that is reflected as a depression in the current-voltage curve of the Josephson junction when hbar ws = 2eV. We have thereby performed a resonance experiment on only 10^7 Ni atoms.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

    Carrier drift velocity and edge magnetoplasmons in graphene

    Get PDF
    We investigate electron dynamics at the graphene edge by studying the propagation of collective edge magnetoplasmon (EMP) excitations. By timing the travel of narrow wave-packets on picosecond time scales around exfoliated samples, we find chiral propagation with low attenuation at a velocity which is quantized on Hall plateaus. We extract the carrier drift contribution from the EMP propagation and find it to be slightly less than the Fermi velocity, as expected for an abrupt edge. We also extract the characteristic length for Coulomb interaction at the edge and find it to be smaller than for soft, depletion edge systems.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures of main text and 6 pages, 6 figures of supplemental materia

    A Declarative Framework for Specifying and Enforcing Purpose-aware Policies

    Full text link
    Purpose is crucial for privacy protection as it makes users confident that their personal data are processed as intended. Available proposals for the specification and enforcement of purpose-aware policies are unsatisfactory for their ambiguous semantics of purposes and/or lack of support to the run-time enforcement of policies. In this paper, we propose a declarative framework based on a first-order temporal logic that allows us to give a precise semantics to purpose-aware policies and to reuse algorithms for the design of a run-time monitor enforcing purpose-aware policies. We also show the complexity of the generation and use of the monitor which, to the best of our knowledge, is the first such a result in literature on purpose-aware policies.Comment: Extended version of the paper accepted at the 11th International Workshop on Security and Trust Management (STM 2015

    Reversible Random Sequential Adsorption of Dimers on a Triangular Lattice

    Full text link
    We report on simulations of reversible random sequential adsorption of dimers on three different lattices: a one-dimensional lattice, a two-dimensional triangular lattice, and a two-dimensional triangular lattice with the nearest neighbors excluded. In addition to the adsorption of particles at a rate K+, we allow particles to leave the surface at a rate K-. The results from the one-dimensional lattice model agree with previous results for the continuous parking lot model. In particular, the long-time behavior is dominated by collective events involving two particles. We were able to directly confirm the importance of two-particle events in the simple two-dimensional triangular lattice. For the two-dimensional triangular lattice with the nearest neighbors excluded, the observed dynamics are consistent with this picture. The two-dimensional simulations were motivated by measurements of Ca++ binding to Langmuir monolayers. The two cases were chosen to model the effects of changing pH in the experimental system.Comment: 9 pages, 10 figure

    Analysis of thermal denaturation of pepsin on basis of MALDI-TOF MS and PAGE experimental data

    Get PDF
    To obtain detailed information about properties of pepsin in thermal denaturing conditions, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) experimental data were analyzed. These methods were used to analyze the changes in the structural properties of pepsin molecule subjected to broad-range temperature variations, from 25 ºC to 70 ºC, and pH range from 1 to 4.Physical chemistry 2012 : 11th international conference on fundamental and applied aspects of physical chemistry; Belgrade (Serbia); 24-28 September 201

    Jamming and percolation in random sequential adsorption of straight rigid rods on a two-dimensional triangular lattice

    Get PDF
    Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling analysis have been performed to study the jamming and percolation behavior of linear kk-mers (also known as rods or needles) on the two-dimensional triangular lattice, considering an isotropic RSA process on a lattice of linear dimension LL and periodic boundary conditions. Extensive numerical work has been done to extend previous studies to larger system sizes and longer kk-mers, which enables the confirmation of a nonmonotonic size dependence of the percolation threshold and the estimation of a maximum value of kk from which percolation would no longer occurs. Finally, a complete analysis of critical exponents and universality have been done, showing that the percolation phase transition involved in the system is not affected, having the same universality class of the ordinary random percolation.Comment: 6 figure
