Electron self-energy and effective mass in a single heterostructure
In this paper, we investigate the electron self-energy and effective mass in
a single heterostructure using Green-function method. Numerical calculations of
the electron self-energy and effective mass for GaAs/AlAs heterostructure are
performed. The results show that the self energy (effective mass) of electron,
which incorporate the energy of electron coupling to interface-optical phonons
and half three-dimension LO phonons, monotonically increase(decrease) from that
of interface polaron to that of 3D bulk polaron with the increase of the
distance between the position of the electron and interface.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figure
Spectrum Sharing between Cooperative Relay and Ad-hoc Networks: Dynamic Transmissions under Computation and Signaling Limitations
This paper studies a spectrum sharing scenario between a cooperative relay
network (CRN) and a nearby ad-hoc network. In particular, we consider a dynamic
spectrum access and resource allocation problem of the CRN. Based on sensing
and predicting the ad-hoc transmission behaviors, the ergodic traffic collision
time between the CRN and ad-hoc network is minimized subject to an ergodic
uplink throughput requirement for the CRN. We focus on real-time implementation
of spectrum sharing policy under practical computation and signaling
limitations. In our spectrum sharing policy, most computation tasks are
accomplished off-line. Hence, little real-time calculation is required which
fits the requirement of practical applications. Moreover, the signaling
procedure and computation process are designed carefully to reduce the time
delay between spectrum sensing and data transmission, which is crucial for
enhancing the accuracy of traffic prediction and improving the performance of
interference mitigation. The benefits of spectrum sensing and cooperative relay
techniques are demonstrated by our numerical experiments.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, to appear in IEEE International Conference on

Investigating the NCQ scaling of elliptic flow at LHC with a multiphase transport model
The number of constituent quark (NCQ) scaling behavior of elliptic flow has
been systematically studied at the LHC energy within the framework of a
multiphase transport model (AMPT) in this work. We find that the parameters
used to generate the initial states and the collision centrality are important
for the existence of NCQ scaling even when hadronic rescattering contribution
is off in Pb-Pb collisions of TeV. By turning on the
hadron rescattering process, the hadronic evolution impacts are also found to
be significant. Extending the analysis to Pb-Pb collsions of
TeV, one would observe similar qualitative features
