Demonstration of dispersive rarefaction shocks in hollow elliptical cylinder chains
We report an experimental and numerical demonstration of dispersive
rarefaction shocks (DRS) in a 3D-printed soft chain of hollow elliptical
cylinders. We find that, in contrast to conventional nonlinear waves, these DRS
have their lower amplitude components travel faster, while the higher amplitude
ones propagate slower. This results in the backward-tilted shape of the front
of the wave (the rarefaction segment) and the breakage of wave tails into a
modulated waveform (the dispersive shock segment). Examining the DRS under
various impact conditions, we find the counter-intuitive feature that the
higher striker velocity causes the slower propagation of the DRS. These unique
features can be useful for mitigating impact controllably and efficiently
without relying on material damping or plasticity effects
Off-diagonal magnetoimpedance in field-annealed Co-based amorphous ribbons
The off-diagonal magnetoimpedance in field-annealed CoFeSiB amorphous ribbons
was measured in the low-frequency range using a pick-up coil wound around the
sample. The asymmetric two-peak behavior of the field dependence of the
off-diagonal impedance was observed. The asymmetry is attributed to the
formation of a hard magnetic crystalline phase at the ribbon surface. The
experimental results are interpreted in terms of the surface impedance tensor.
It is assumed that the ribbon consists of an inner amorphous region and surface
crystalline layers. The coupling between the crystalline and amorphous phases
is described through an effective bias field. A qualitative agreement between
the calculated dependences and experimental data is demonstrated. The results
obtained may be useful for development of weak magnetic-field sensors.Comment: 19 pages, 6 figure
Unified entropy, entanglement measures and monogamy of multi-party entanglement
We show that restricted shareability of multi-qubit entanglement can be fully
characterized by unified- entropy. We provide a two-parameter class of
bipartite entanglement measures, namely unified- entanglement with its
analytic formula in two-qubit systems for , and
. Using unified- entanglement, we establish a broad class of
the monogamy inequalities of multi-qubit entanglement for , and .Comment: 17 pages, 1 figur
