Redundancy relations and robust failure detection
All failure detection methods are based on the use of redundancy, that is on (possible dynamic) relations among the measured variables. Consequently the robustness of the failure detection process depends to a great degree on the reliability of the redundancy relations given the inevitable presence of model uncertainties. The problem of determining redundancy relations which are optimally robust in a sense which includes the major issues of importance in practical failure detection is addressed. A significant amount of intuition concerning the geometry of robust failure detection is provided
Electrical Detection of Spin Accumulation at a Ferromagnet-Semiconductor Interface
We show that the accumulation of spin-polarized electrons at a forward-biased
Schottky tunnel barrier between Fe and n-GaAs can be detected electrically. The
spin accumulation leads to an additional voltage drop across the barrier that
is suppressed by a small transverse magnetic field, which depolarizes the spins
in the semiconductor. The dependence of the electrical accumulation signal on
magnetic field, bias current, and temperature is in good agreement with the
predictions of a drift-diffusion model for spin-polarized transport.Comment: Submitted to Phys. Rev. Let
Periodic and Localized Solutions of the Long Wave-Short Wave Resonance Interaction Equation
In this paper, we investigate the (2+1) dimensional long wave-short wave
resonance interaction (LSRI) equation and show that it possess the Painlev\'e
property. We then solve the LSRI equation using Painlev\'e truncation approach
through which we are able to construct solution in terms of three arbitrary
functions. Utilizing the arbitrary functions present in the solution, we have
generated a wide class of elliptic function periodic wave solutions and
exponentially localized solutions such as dromions, multidromions, instantons,
multi-instantons and bounded solitary wave solutions.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figure
Study on chloride migration in concrete under pressure
This paper used self-designed equipment to carry out chloride migration test in concrete samples under the conditions imitating subsea tunnel environment. It determined the permeability characteristics of chloride ions in concrete under different water pressure, concentration and time, and analyzed the influence degree of various factors
Phase Separation of Bismuth Ferrite into Magnetite under Voltage Stressing
Micro-Raman studies show that under ~700 kV/cm of d.c. voltage stressing for
a few seconds, thin-film bismuth ferrite BiFeO3 phase separates into magnetite
Fe3O4. No evidence is found spectroscopically of hemite alpha-Fe2O3, maghemite
gamma-Fe2O3, or of Bi2O3. This relates to the controversy regarding the
magnitude of magnetization in BiFeO3.Comment: 9 pages and 2 figure

Spin injection from the Heusler alloy Co_2MnGe into Al_0.1Ga_0.9As/GaAs heterostructures
Electrical spin injection from the Heusler alloy Co_2MnGe into a p-i-n
Al_0.1Ga_0.9As/GaAs light emitting diode is demonstrated. A maximum
steady-state spin polarization of approximately 13% at 2 K is measured in two
types of heterostructures. The injected spin polarization at 2 K is calculated
to be 27% based on a calibration of the spin detector using Hanle effect
measurements. Although the dependence on electrical bias conditions is
qualitatively similar to Fe-based spin injection devices of the same design,
the spin polarization injected from Co_2MnGe decays more rapidly with
increasing temperature.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure
Optical and electrical spin injection and spin transport in hybrid Fe/GaAs devices
We discuss methods for imaging the nonequilibrium spin polarization of
electrons in Fe/GaAs spin transport devices. Both optically- and
electrically-injected spin distributions are studied by scanning
magneto-optical Kerr rotation microscopy. Related methods are used to
demonstrate electrical spin detection of optically-injected spin polarized
currents. Dynamical properties of spin transport are inferred from studies
based on the Hanle effect, and the influence of strain on spin transport data
in these devices is discussed.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figs. ICPS-28 proceedings (July'06, Vienna) for J. Appl.
