Detecting the orbital character of the spin fluctuation in the Iron-based superconductors with the resonant inelastic X-ray scattering spectroscopy
The orbital distribution of the spin fluctuation in the iron-based
superconductors(IBSs) is the key information needed to understand the
magnetism, superconductivity and electronic nematicity in these multi-orbital
systems. In this work, we propose that the resonant inelastic X-ray
scattering(RIXS) technique can be used to probe selectively the spin
fluctuation on different Fe orbitals. In particular, the spin fluctuation
on the three orbitals, namely, the , and the
orbital, can be selectively probed in the
scattering geometry by aligning the direction of the outgoing photon in the
, and direction. Such orbital-resolved information on the spin
fluctuation is invaluable for the study of the orbital-selective physics in the
IBSs and can greatly advance our understanding on the relation between orbital
ordering and spin nematicity in the IBSs and the orbital-selective pairing
mechanism in these multi-orbital systems.Comment: 6 pages with new and more informative figures, the explicit form of

Vanishing pseudogap around in an electron-doped high- superconductor: a simple picture
Recent ARPES measurement on electron-doped cuprate
finds
that the pseudogap along the boundary of the antiferromagnetic Brillouin
zone(AFBZ) exhibits dramatic momentum dependence. In particular, the pseudogap
vanishes in a finite region around the anti-nodal point, in which a single
broadened peak emerges at the un-renormalized quasiparticle energy. Such an
observation is argued to be inconsistent with the antiferromagnetic(AFM)
band-folding picture, which predicts a constant pseudogap along the AFBZ
boundary. On the other hand, it is claimed that the experimental results are
consistent with the prediction of the cluster dynamical mean field
theory(CDMFT) simulation on the Hubbard model, in which the pseudogap is
interpreted as a s-wave splitting between the Hubbard bands and the in-gap
states. Here we show that the observed momentum dependence of the pseudogap is
indeed consistent with AFM band-folding picture, provided that we assume the
existence of a strongly momentum dependent quasiparticle scattering rate. More
specifically, we show that the quasiparticle scattering rate acts to reduce the
spectral gap induced by AFM band-folding effect. The new quasiparticle poles
corresponding to the AF-split bands can even be totally eliminated when the
scattering rate exceeds the bare band folding gap, leaving the system with a
single pole at the un-renormalized quasiparticle energy. We predict that the
pseudogap should close in a square root fashion as we move toward
along the AFBZ boundary. Our results illustrates again that the quasiparticle
scattering rate can play a much more profound role than simply broadening the
quasiparticle peak in the quasiparticle dynamics of strongly correlated
electron systems.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, new references adde
Miniature High-Sensitivity High-Temperature Fiber Sensor with a Dispersion Compensation Fiber-Based Interferometer
A miniature high-sensitivity, high-temperature fiber sensor with an interferometer based on a bare small-core-diameter dispersion compensation fiber (DCF) is reported. The sensing head is a single-mode-fiber (SMF) DCF configuration formed by a 4 mm long bare DCF with one end connected to the SMF by a fusion splicing technique and the other end cleaved. Due to the large mode index difference and high thermo-optic coefficient induced by two dominative interference modes, a miniature high-temperature fiber sensor with a high sensitivity of 68.6 pm/°C is obtained by monitoring the wavelength shift of the interference spectrum. This type of sensor has the features of small size, high sensitivity, high stability, simple structure, and low cost
Dynamic Polarization Effects in Ion Channeling Through Single-Well Carbon Nanotubs
Ion channeling through a single-wall carbon nanotube is simulated by solving Newton’s equations for ion motion at intermediate energies, under the action of both the surface-atom repulsive forces and the polarization forces due to the dynamic perturbation of the nanotube electrons. The atomic repulsion is described by a continuum potential based on the Thomas-Fermi-Moliere model, whereas the dynamic polarization of the nanotube electrons is described by a two-dimensional hydrodynamic model, giving rise to the transverse dynamic image force and the longitudinal stopping force. In the absence of centrifugal forces, a balance between the image force and the atomic repulsion is found to give rise to ion trajectories which oscillate over peripheral radial regions in the nanotube, provided the ion impact position is not too close to the nanotube wall, the impact angle is sufficiently small, and the incident speed is not too high. Otherwise, the ion is found to oscillate between the nanotube walls, passing over a local maximum of the potential in the center of the nanotube, which results from the image interaction. The full statistical analysis of 103 ion trajectories has been made to further demonstrate the actual effect of dynamic polarization on the ion channeling
Simultaneous Measurement for Strain and Temperature Using Fiber Bragg Gratings and Multimode Fibers
An all-fiber sensor capable of simultaneous measurement of temperature and strain is newly presented. The sensing head is formed by a fiber Bragg grating combined with a section of multimode fiber that acts as a Mach-Zehnder interferometer for temperature and strain discrimination. The strain and temperature coefficients of multimode fibers vary with the core sizes and materials. This feature can be used to improve the strain and temperature resolution by suitably choosing the multimode fiber. For a 10 pm wavelength resolution, a resolution of 9.21 μ∈ in strain and 0.26°C in temperature can be achieved
Criticality in Gauged Supergravities
AdS black holes show richer transition behaviors in extended phase space by
assuming the cosmological constant and its conjugate quantity to behave like
thermodynamic pressure and thermodynamic volume. We study the extended
thermodynamics of charged dilatonic AdS black holes in a class of
Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theories that can be embedded in gauged supergravities
in various dimensions. We find that the transition behaviors of higher
dimensional dilatonic AdS black holes are different from the four dimensional
counterparts, and new transition behaviors emerges in higher dimensions. First,
there exists standard Van der Waals transition only in a five dimensional
dilatonic AdS black hole with two equal charges. Second, there emerge a new
phase transition branch in negative pressure region in six and seven
dimensional dilatonic black holes with two equal charges. Third, there emerge
transition behaviors in higher dimensional black hole with single charge cases,
which are absent in four dimensions.Comment: Latex, 18 pages, 8 figures; published versio
GRB/GW association: Long-short GRB candidates, time-lag, measuring gravitational wave velocity and testing Einstein's equivalence principle
Short-duration gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) are widely believed to be powered by
the mergers of compact binaries, such as binary neutron stars or possibly
neutron star-black hole binaries. Though the prospect of detecting SGRBs with
gravitational wave (GW) signals by the advanced Laser Interferometer
Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO)/VIRGO network is promising, no known SGRB
has been found within the expected advanced LIGO/VIRGO sensitivity range for
binary neutron star systems. We find, however, that the two long-short GRBs
(GRB 060505 and GRB 060614) may be within the horizon of advanced GW detectors.
In the upcoming era of GW astronomy, the merger origin of some long-short GRBs,
as favored by the macronova signature displayed in GRB 060614, can be
unambiguously tested. The model-dependent time lags between the merger and the
onset of the prompt emission of the GRB are estimated. The comparison of such
time lags between model predictions and the real data expected in the era of
the GW astronomy would be helpful in revealing the physical processes taking
place at the central engine (including the launch of the relativistic outflow,
the emergence of the outflow from the dense material ejected during the merger,
and the radiation of gamma rays). We also show that the speed of GWs, with or
without a simultaneous test of Einstein's equivalence principle, can be
directly measured to an accuracy of or
even better in the advanced LIGO/VIRGO era. The Astrophysical Journal, VolumeComment: 12 pages, 3 figures, published in The Astrophysical Journa
