Skyrmion-skyrmion and skyrmion-edge repulsions in skyrmion-based racetrack memory
Magnetic skyrmions are promising for building next-generation magnetic
memories and spintronic devices due to their stability, small size and the
extremely low currents needed to move them. In particular, skyrmion-based
racetrack memory is attractive for information technology, where skyrmions are
used to store information as data bits instead of traditional domain walls.
Here we numerically demonstrate the impacts of skyrmion-skyrmion and
skyrmion-edge repulsions on the feasibility of skyrmion-based racetrack memory.
The reliable and practicable spacing between consecutive skyrmionic bits on the
racetrack as well as the ability to adjust it are investigated. Clogging of
skyrmionic bits is found at the end of the racetrack, leading to the reduction
of skyrmion size. Further, we demonstrate an effective and simple method to
avoid the clogging of skyrmionic bits, which ensures the elimination of
skyrmionic bits beyond the reading element. Our results give guidance for the
design and development of future skyrmion-based racetrack memory.Comment: 15 pages, 6 figure
Entanglement control in one-dimensional random XY spin chain
The entanglement in one-dimensional random XY spin systems where the
impurities of exchange couplings and the external magnetic fields are
considered as random variables is investigated by solving the different
spin-spin correlation functions and the average magnetization per spin. The
entanglement dynamics near particular locations of the system is also studied
when the exchange couplings (or the external magnetic fields) satisfy three
different distributions(the Gaussian distribution, double-Gaussian
distribution, and bimodal distribution). We find that the entanglement can be
controlled by varying the strength of external magnetic field and the different
distributions of impurities. Moreover, the entanglement of some
nearest-neighboring qubits can be increased for certain parameter values of the
three different distributions.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure

Variational Deep Semantic Hashing for Text Documents
As the amount of textual data has been rapidly increasing over the past
decade, efficient similarity search methods have become a crucial component of
large-scale information retrieval systems. A popular strategy is to represent
original data samples by compact binary codes through hashing. A spectrum of
machine learning methods have been utilized, but they often lack expressiveness
and flexibility in modeling to learn effective representations. The recent
advances of deep learning in a wide range of applications has demonstrated its
capability to learn robust and powerful feature representations for complex
data. Especially, deep generative models naturally combine the expressiveness
of probabilistic generative models with the high capacity of deep neural
networks, which is very suitable for text modeling. However, little work has
leveraged the recent progress in deep learning for text hashing.
In this paper, we propose a series of novel deep document generative models
for text hashing. The first proposed model is unsupervised while the second one
is supervised by utilizing document labels/tags for hashing. The third model
further considers document-specific factors that affect the generation of
words. The probabilistic generative formulation of the proposed models provides
a principled framework for model extension, uncertainty estimation, simulation,
and interpretability. Based on variational inference and reparameterization,
the proposed models can be interpreted as encoder-decoder deep neural networks
and thus they are capable of learning complex nonlinear distributed
representations of the original documents. We conduct a comprehensive set of
experiments on four public testbeds. The experimental results have demonstrated
the effectiveness of the proposed supervised learning models for text hashing.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figure
How can emerging-market SMEs domestically benefit from their performance in developed countries? Empirical evidence from China
Many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from emerging economies consider entry into developed markets as a way to promote home country performance. Nevertheless, the extant literature aiming at large companies are not applicable to SMEs, and it is unclear how SMEs with a weak resource basis can improve their domestic performance through overseas venturing. This study leverages a resource-based view on data from 377 Chinese SMEs with operations in developed nations. The findings reveal that emerging-market firms’ overseas performance (both financial and non-financial) is positively related to their home country performance, with the technological learning and demonstration effect playing mediating roles. The relationship between host country performance and technological learning is positively moderated by firms’ resource integration capability. This study is among the first to identify the mechanism through which emerging-market SMEs’ operations in developed countries affects their home country performance. The findings are helpful in guiding emerging-market SMEs’ internationalization
Longitudinal Schottky spectra of a bunched Ne10+ ion beam at the CSRe
The longitudinal Schottky spectra of a radio-frequency (RF) bunched and
electron cooled 22Ne10+ ion beam at 70 MeV/u have been studied by a newly
installed resonant Schottky pick-up at the experimental cooler storage ring
(CSRe), at IMP. For an RF-bunched ion beam, a longitudinal momentum spread of
has been reached with less than 107 stored ions. The reduction of momentum
spread compared with coasting ion beam was observed from Schottky noise signal
of the bunched ion beam. In order to prepare the future laser cooling
experiment at the CSRe, the RF-bunching power was modulated at 25th, 50th and
75th harmonic of the revolution frequency, effective bunching amplitudes were
extracted from the Schottky spectrum analysis. Applications of Schottky noise
for measuring beam lifetime with ultra-low intensity of ion beams are
presented, and it is relevant to upcoming experiments on laser cooling of
relativistic heavy ion beams and nuclear physics at the CSRe.Comment: to be published in Chinese Physics
