Quantum Entanglement in Heisenberg Antiferromagnets
Entanglement sharing among pairs of spins in Heisenberg antiferromagnets is
investigated using the concurrence measure. For a nondegenerate S=0 ground
state, a simple formula relates the concurrence to the diagonal correlation
function. The concurrence length is seen to be extremely short. A few finite
clusters are studied numerically, to see the trend in higher dimensions. It is
argued that nearest-neighbour concurrence is zero for triangular and Kagome
lattices. The concurrences in the maximal-spin states are explicitly
calculated, where the concurrence averaged over all pairs is larger than the
S=0 states.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figure
Invariant imbedding, method of characteristics, and parameter estimation
AbstractParameter estimation in a physical system from observed data is carried out by a method which combines invariant imbedding formalism and the method of characteristics. This avoids the necessity of making use of an initial guess for the parameter necessary if one adopts quasilinearization techniques. Numerical results for a simple one parameter system is presented
Application of invariant imbedding to the estimation of process duration
AbstractThis work deals with the application of invariant imbedding to solve a particularly important design problem, namely, the duration of the process. A numerical example is used to illustrate the approach. The advantage of this approach is its straightforward nature and uses only the usual design data. It avoids any iterations and thus no convergence problems need to be considered
Bandgap properties of two-dimensional low-index photonic crystals
We study the bandgap properties of two-dimensional photonic crystals created
by a lattice of rods or holes conformed in a symmetric or asymmetric triangular
structure. Using the plane-wave analysis, we calculate a minimum value of the
refractive index contrast for opening both partial and full two-dimensional
spectral gaps for both TM and TE polarized waves. We also analyze the effect of
ellipticity of rods and holes and their orientation on the threshold value and
the relative size of the bandgap.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figures, App. Phys. B. styl
Preparation and ferroelectric properties of (124)-oriented SrBi4Ti4O15 ferroelectric thin film on (110)-oriented LaNiO3 electrode
A (124)-oriented SrBi4Ti4O15 (SBTi) ferroelectric thin film with high volume
fraction of {\alpha}SBTi(124)=97% was obtained using a metal organic
decomposition process on SiO2/Si substrate coated by (110)-oriented LaNiO3
(LNO) thin film. The remanent polarization and coercive field for
(124)-oriented SBTi film are 12.1 {\mu}C/cm2 and 74 kV/cm, respectively. No
evident fatigue of (124)-oriented SBTi thin film can be observed after
1{\times}10e9 switching cycles. Besides, the (124)-oriented SBTi film can be
uniformly polarized over large areas using a piezoelectric-mode atomic force
microscope. Considering that the annealing temperature was 650{\deg}C and the
thickness of each deposited layer was merely 30 nm, a long-range epitaxial
relationship between SBTi(124) and LNO(110) facets was proposed. The epitaxial
relationship was demonstrated based on the crystal structures of SBTi and LNO.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figures, published in Journal of Materials Science:

Slower Speed and Stronger Coupling: Adaptive Mechanisms of Self-Organized Chaos Synchronization
We show that two initially weakly coupled chaotic systems can achieve
self-organized synchronization by adaptively reducing their speed and/or
enhancing the coupling strength. Explicit adaptive algorithms for
speed-reduction and coupling-enhancement are provided. We apply these
algorithms to the self-organized synchronization of two coupled Lorenz systems.
It is found that after a long-time self-organized process, the two coupled
chaotic systems can achieve synchronization with almost minimum required
coupling-speed ratio.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Cereal Genome Evolution: Grasses, line up and form a circle
AbstractThe genomes of six major grass species can be aligned by dissecting the individual chromosomes into segments and rearranging these linkage blocks into highly similar structures
Thermal and ground-state entanglement in Heisenberg XX qubit rings
We study the entanglement of thermal and ground states in Heisernberg
qubit rings with a magnetic field. A general result is found that for
even-number rings pairwise entanglement between nearest-neighbor qubits is
independent on both the sign of exchange interaction constants and the sign of
magnetic fields. As an example we study the entanglement in the four-qubit
model and find that the ground state of this model without magnetic fields is
shown to be a four-body maximally entangled state measured by the -tangle.Comment: Four pages and one figure, small change
Entanglement in spin-1/2 dimerized Heisenberg systems
We study entanglement in dimerized Heisenberg systems. In particular, we give
exact results of ground-state pairwise entanglement for the four-qubit model by
identifying a Z_2 symmetry. Although the entanglements cannot identify the
critical point of the system, the mean entanglement of nearest-neighbor qubits
really does, namely, it reaches a maximum at the critical point.Comment: Four pages, three figures, accepted in Communications in Theoretical

Probing neutral top-pion via a flavor-changing process
In the framework of topcolor-assisted-technicolor model(TC2), we study a
flavor-changing neutral top-pion production process . The study shows that there exists a resonance effect
which can enhance the cross section up to a few fb even tens fb. For a yearly
luminosity 100 at future linear colliders, there might be hundreds
even thousands events to be produced. On the other hand, the background of such
flavor-changing process is very clean due to the GIM mechanism in SM . With
such sufficient events and clean background, neutral toppion could be detected
at future linear colliders with high center of energy and luminosity. Our study
provides a possible way to test TC2 model.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures,has been accepted by Phys.Rev.
