Doppler radar having phase modulation of both transmitted and reflected return signals

A microwave radar signal is generated for transmission through an antenna. Before transmission, the signal is phase modulated by 0 deg or 90 deg amounts during each alternate half-cycles of an intermediate frequency (IF) clock signal. After transmission and return, the signal is again phase modulated the same amounts during each alternate half-cycles. The return phase modulated signal is mixed with a leakage signal component of the microwave signal, leaving an IF Doppler. The IF Doppler signal may then be amplified, removing any requirement that direct current level signals be amplified and also removing the effect of detector noise from the Doppler signal

Phonon density of states and compression behavior in iron sulfide under pressure

We report the partial phonon densities of states (DOS) of iron sulfide, a possible component of the rocky planet's core, measured by the Fe-57 nuclear resonant inelastic x-ray scattering and calculate the total phonon DOS under pressure. From the phonon DOS, we drive thermodynamic parameters. A comparison of the observed and estimated compressibilities makes it clear that there is a large pure electronic contribution in the observed compressibility in the metallic state. Our results present the observation of thermodynamic parameters of iron sulfide with the low-spin state of an Fe2+ ion at the high density, which is similar to the condition of the Martian core

Large thermal Hall coefficient in bismuth

We present a systematical study of thermal Hall effect on a bismuth single crystal by measuring resistivity, Hall coefficient, and thermal conductivity under magnetic field, which shows a large thermal Hall coefficient comparable to the largest one in a semiconductor HgSe. We discuss that this is mainly due to a large mobility and a low thermal conductivity comparing theoretical calculations, which will give a route for controlling heat current in electronic devices.Comment: 4pages, 3 figure

Density matrix renormalization group algorithm for Bethe lattices of spin 1/2 or 1 sites with Heisenberg antiferromagnetic exchange

An efficient density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) algorithm is presented for the Bethe lattice with connectivity $Z = 3$ and antiferromagnetic exchange between nearest neighbor spins $s= 1/2$ or 1 sites in successive generations $g$. The algorithm is accurate for $s = 1$ sites. The ground states are magnetic with spin $S(g) = 2^g s$, staggered magnetization that persists for large $g > 20$ and short-range spin correlation functions that decrease exponentially. A finite energy gap to $S > S(g)$ leads to a magnetization plateau in the extended lattice. Closely similar DMRG results for $s$ = 1/2 and 1 are interpreted in terms of an analytical three-site model.Comment: 7 Pages and 8 figure

Mathematical Support to Braneworld Theory

The braneworld theory appear with the purpose of solving the problem of the hierarchy of the fundamental interactions. The perspectives of the theory emerge as a new physics, for example, deviation of the law of Newton's gravity. One of the principles of the theory is to suppose that the braneworld is local submanifold in a space of high dimension, the bulk, solution of Einstein's equations in high dimension. In this paper we approach the mathematical consistency of this theory with a new proof of the fundamental theorem of submanifolds for case of semi-Riemannian manifolds. This theorem consist an essential mathematical support for this new theory. We find the integrability conditions for the existence of space-time submanifolds in a pseudo-Euclidean space. Keywords: Submanifolds, Braneworld, Pseudo-Riemannian geometryComment: 10 page

New electronic orderings observed in cobaltates under the influence of misfit periodicities

We study with ARPES the electronic structure of CoO2 slabs, stacked with rock-salt (RS) layers exhibiting a different (misfit) periodicity. Fermi Surfaces (FS) in phases with different doping and/or periodicities reveal the influence of the RS potential on the electronic structure. We show that these RS potentials are well ordered, even in incommensurate phases, where STM images reveal broad stripes with width as large as 80\AA. The anomalous evolution of the FS area at low dopings is consistent with the localization of a fraction of the electrons. We propose that this is a new form of electronic ordering, induced by the potential of the stacked layers (RS or Na in NaxCoO2) when the FS becomes smaller than the Brillouin Zone of the stacked structure

Phase Change Observed in Ultrathin Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 Films by in-situ Resonant Photoemission Spectroscopy

Epitaxial Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 thin films were prepared on Nb-doped SrTiO3 (100)substrates by the pulsed laser deposition technique, and were studied by measuring the Ti 2p - 3d resonant photoemission spectra in the valence-band region as a function of film thickness, both at room temperature and low temperature. Our results demonstrated an abrupt variation in the spectral structures between 2.8 nm (~7 monolayers) and 2.0 nm (~5 monolayers) Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 films, suggesting that there exists a critical thickness for phase change in the range of 2.0 nm to 2.8 nm. This may be ascribed mainly to the intrinsic size effects.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure

Axiomatic Holonomy Maps and Generalized Yang-Mills Moduli Space

This article is a follow-up of ``Holonomy and Path Structures in General Relativity and Yang-Mills Theory" by Barrett, J. W. (Int.J.Theor.Phys., vol.30, No.9, 1991). Its main goal is to provide an alternative proof of this part of the reconstruction theorem which concerns the existence of a connection. A construction of connection 1-form is presented. The formula expressing the local coefficients of connection in terms of the holonomy map is obtained as an immediate consequence of that construction. Thus the derived formula coincides with that used in "On Loop Space Formulation of Gauge Theories" by Chan, H.-M., Scharbach, P. and Tsou S.T. (Ann.Phys., vol.167, 454-472, 1986). The reconstruction and representation theorems form a generalization of the fact that the pointed configuration space of the classical Yang-Mills theory is equivalent to the set of all holonomy maps. The point of this generalization is that there is a one-to-one correspondence not only between the holonomy maps and the orbits in the space of connections, but also between all maps from the loop space on $M$ to group $G$ fulfilling some axioms and all possible equivalence classes of $P(M,G)$ bundles with connection, where the equivalence relation is defined by bundle isomorphism in a natural way.Comment: amslatex, 7 pages, no figure
