Development and research methods of compression of complex signals based on optimal and suboptimalnoy processing phase response
The article provides further study of information possibilities phase response of seismic signals to improve resolution records in a thin-layered environment. In the paper, new algorithm of compression of complex signals based on optimal and sub optimal treatment of their phase response of proposed
Incompatible Magnetic Order in Multiferroic Hexagonal DyMnO3
Magnetic order of the manganese and rare-earth lattices according to
different symmetry representations is observed in multiferroic hexagonal (h-)
DyMnO by optical second harmonic generation and neutron diffraction. The
incompatibility reveals that the 3d-4f coupling in the h-MnO system (
= Sc, Y, In, Dy - Lu) is substantially less developed than commonly expected.
As a consequence, magnetoelectric coupling effects in this type of split-order
parameter multiferroic that were previously assigned to a pronounced 3d-4f
coupling have now to be scrutinized with respect to their origin
Post-Newtonian extension of the Newton-Cartan theory
The theory obtained as a singular limit of General Relativity, if the
reciprocal velocity of light is assumed to tend to zero, is known to be not
exactly the Newton-Cartan theory, but a slight extension of this theory. It
involves not only a Coriolis force field, which is natural in this theory
(although not original Newtonian), but also a scalar field which governs the
relation between Newtons time and relativistic proper time. Both fields are or
can be reduced to harmonic functions, and must therefore be constants, if
suitable global conditions are imposed. We assume this reduction of
Newton-Cartan to Newton`s original theory as starting point and ask for a
consistent post-Newtonian extension and for possible differences to usual
post-Minkowskian approximation methods, as developed, for example, by
Chandrasekhar. It is shown, that both post-Newtonian frameworks are formally
equivalent, as far as the field equations and the equations of motion for a
hydrodynamical fluid are concerned.Comment: 13 pages, LaTex, to appear in Class. Quantum Gra
The Newtonian Limit for Asymptotically Flat Solutions of the Vlasov-Einstein System
It is shown that there exist families of asymptotically flat solutions of the
Einstein equations coupled to the Vlasov equation describing a collisionless
gas which have a Newtonian limit. These are sufficiently general to confirm
that for this matter model as many families of this type exist as would be
expected on the basis of physical intuition. A central role in the proof is
played by energy estimates in unweighted Sobolev spaces for a wave equation
satisfied by the second fundamental form of a maximal foliation.Comment: 24 pages, plain TE
The multiferroic phases of (Eu:Y)MnO3
We report on structural, magnetic, dielectric, and thermodynamic properties
of (Eu:Y)MnO3 for Y doping levels 0 <= x < 1. This system resembles the
multiferroic perovskite manganites RMnO3 (with R= Gd, Dy, Tb) but without the
interference of magnetic contributions of the 4f-ions. In addition, it offers
the possibility to continuously tune the influence of the A-site ionic radii.
For small concentrations x <= 0.1 we find a canted antiferromagnetic and
paraelectric groundstate. For higher concentrations x <= 0.3 ferroelectric
polarization coexists with the features of a long wavelength incommensurate
spiral magnetic phase analogous to the observations in TbMnO3. In the
intermediate concentration range around x = 0.2 a multiferroic scenario is
realized combining weak ferroelectricity and weak ferromagnetism, presumably
due to a canted spiral magnetic structure.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figure
Theory of the "honeycomb chain-channel" reconstruction of Si(111)3x1
First-principles electronic-structure methods are used to study a structural
model for Ag/Si(111)3x1 recently proposed on the basis of transmission electron
diffraction data. The fully relaxed geometry for this model is far more
energetically favorable than any previously proposed, partly due to the unusual
formation of a Si double bond in the surface layer. The calculated electronic
properties of this model are in complete agreement with data from
angle-resolved photoemission and scanning tunneling microscopy.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev. Lett (the ugly postscript
