Hysteresis and Anisotropic Magnetoresistance in Antiferromagnetic
The out-of-plane resistivity () and magnetoresistivity (MR) are
studied in antiferromangetic (AF) single crystals, which
have three types of noncollinear antiferromangetic spin structures. The
apparent signatures are observed in measured at the zero-field and
14 T at the spin structure transitions, giving a definite evidence for the
itinerant electrons directly coupled to the localized spins. One of striking
feature is an anisotropy of the MR with a fourfold symmetry upon rotating the
external field (B) within ab plane in the different phases, while twofold
symmetry at spin reorientation transition temperatures. The intriguing thermal
hysteresis in and magnetic hysteresis in MR are observed at spin
reorientation transition temperatures.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Data assimilation using bayesian filters and B-spline geological models
This paper proposes a new approach to problems of data assimilation, also known as history matching, of oilfield production data by adjustment of the location and sharpness of patterns of geological facies. Traditionally, this problem has been addressed using gradient based approaches with a level set parameterization of the geology. Gradient-based methods are robust, but computationally demanding with real-world reservoir problems and insufficient for reservoir management uncertainty assessment. Recently, the ensemble filter approach has been used to tackle this problem because of its high efficiency from the standpoint of implementation, computational cost, and performance. Incorporation of level set parameterization in this approach could further deal with the lack of differentiability with respect to facies type, but its practical implementation is based on some assumptions that are not easily satisfied in real problems. In this work, we propose to describe the geometry of the permeability field using B-spline curves. This transforms history matching of the discrete facies type to the estimation of continuous B-spline control points. As filtering scheme, we use the ensemble square-root filter (EnSRF). The efficacy of the EnSRF with the B-spline parameterization is investigated through three numerical experiments, in which the reservoir contains a curved channel, a disconnected channel or a 2-dimensional closed feature. It is found that the application of the proposed method to the problem of adjusting facies edges to match production data is relatively straightforward and provides statistical estimates of the distribution of geological facies and of the state of the reservoir
Bound States and Critical Behavior of the Yukawa Potential
We investigate the bound states of the Yukawa potential , using different algorithms: solving the Schr\"odinger

Dimensional crossover and anomalous magnetoresistivity in single crystals
The in-plane () and c-axis () resistivities, and the
magnetoresistivity of single crystals with x = 0.7, 0.5 and 0.3
were studied systematically. shows similar temperature
dependence between and , while is
quite different. A dimensional crossover from two to three occurs with
decreasing Na concentration from 0.7 to 0.3. The angular dependence of in-plane
magnetoresistivity for 0.5 sample shows a \emph{"d-wave-like"} symmetry at 2K,
while the \emph{"p-wave-like"} symmetry at 20 K. These results give an evidence
for existence of a \emph{spin ordering orientation} below 20 K turned by
external field, like the stripes in cuprates.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
