Hysteresis in the quantum Hall regimes in electron double quantum well structures
We present in this paper experimental results on the transport hysteresis in
electron double quantum well structures. Exploring the measurement technique of
fixing the magnetic field and sweeping a front gate voltage (Vg), we are able
to study the hysteresis by varying the top layer Landau level fillings while
maintaining a relatively constant filling factor in the bottom layer, allowing
us to tackle the question of the sign of Rxx(up)-Rxx(down), where Rxx(up) is
the magnetoresistance when Vg is swept up and Rxx(down) when Vg swept down.
Furthermore, we observe that hysteresis is generally stronger in the even
integer quantum Hall effect (IQHE) regime than in the odd-IQHE regime. This, we
argue, is due to a larger energy gap for an even-IQHE state, determined by the
Landau level separation, than that for an odd-IQHE state, determined by the
Zeeman splitting
A New Comparative Definition of Community and Corresponding Identifying Algorithm
In this paper, a new comparative definition for community in networks is
proposed and the corresponding detecting algorithm is given. A community is
defined as a set of nodes, which satisfy that each node's degree inside the
community should not be smaller than the node's degree toward any other
community. In the algorithm, the attractive force of a community to a node is
defined as the connections between them. Then employing attractive force based
self-organizing process, without any extra parameter, the best communities can
be detected. Several artificial and real-world networks, including Zachary
Karate club network and College football network are analyzed. The algorithm
works well in detecting communities and it also gives a nice description for
network division and group formation.Comment: 11 pages, 4 fihure
Spin waves in the block checkerboard antiferromagnetic phase
Motivated by the discovery of new family 122 iron-based superconductors, we
present the theoretical results on the ground state phase diagram, spin wave
and dynamic structure factor of the extended Heisenberg model. In
the reasonable physical parameter region of , we fi{}nd the
block checkerboard antiferromagnetic order phase is stable. There are two
acoustic branches and six optical branches spin wave in the block checkerboard
antiferromagnetic phase, which has analytic expression in the high symmetry
points. To compare the further neutron scattering experiments, we discuss the
saddlepoint structure in the magnetic excitation spectrum and calculate the
predicted inelastic neutron scattering pattern based on linear spin wave
theory
Diffusion Thermopower at Even Denominator Fractions
We compute the electron diffusion thermopower at compressible Quantum Hall
states corresponding to even denominator fractions in the framework of the
composite fermion approach. It is shown that the deviation from the linear low
temperature behavior of the termopower is dominated by the logarithmic
temperature corrections to the conductivity and not to the thermoelectric
coefficient, although such terms are present in both quantities. The enhanced
magnitude of this effect compared to the zero field case may allow its
observation with the existing experimental techniques.Comment: Latex, 12 pages, Nordita repor
Theory of adsorbate induced surface reconstruction on W(100)
We report results of a theoretical study on an adsorbate induced surface
reconstruction. Hydrogen adsorption on a W(100) surface causes a switching
transition in the symmetry of the displacements of the W atoms within the
ordered c(2x2) phase. This transition is modeled by an effective Hamiltonian,
where the hydrogen degrees of freedom are integrated out. Based on extensive
Monte Carlo renormalisation group calculations we show that the switching
transition is of second order at high temperatures and of first order at low
temperatures. This behavior is qualitatively explained in terms of an XY model
where there is an interplay between four and eight fold anisotropy fields. We
also compare the calculated phase diagrams with a simple mean field theory.Comment: CSC Preprint, 31 pages (plain TeX file, no figures
Using dark modes for high-fidelity optomechanical quantum state transfer
In a recent publication [Y.D. Wang and A.A. Clerk, Phys. Rev. Lett. 108,
153603 (2012)], we demonstrated that one can use interference to significantly
increase the fidelity of state transfer between two electromagnetic cavities
coupled to a common mechanical resonator over a naive sequential-transfer
scheme based on two swap operations. This involved making use of a delocalized
electromagnetic mode which is decoupled from the mechanical resonator, a
so-called "mechanically-dark" mode. Here, we demonstrate the existence of a new
"hybrid" state transfer scheme which incorporates the best elements of the
dark-mode scheme (protection against mechanical dissipation) and the
double-swap scheme (fast operation time). Importantly, this new scheme also
does not require the mechanical resonator to be prepared initially in its
ground state. We also provide additional details on the previously-described
interference-enhanced transfer schemes, and provide an enhanced discussion of
how the interference physics here is intimately related to the optomechanical
analogue of electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT). We also compare the
various transfer schemes over a wide range of relevant experimental parameters,
producing a "phase diagram" showing the the optimal transfer scheme for
different points in parameter space.Comment: 39 pages, 11 figures NJP 14 (Focus issue on Optomechanics
Exact Analysis of Scaling and Dominant Attractors Beyond the Exponential Potential
By considering the potential parameter as a function of another
potential parameter [47], We successfully extend the analysis of
two-dimensional autonomous dynamical system of quintessence scalar field model
to the analysis of three-dimension, which makes us be able to research the
critical points of a large number of potentials beyond the exponential
potential exactly. We find that there are ten critical points in all, three
points } are general points which are possessed by all
quintessence models regardless of the form of potentials and the rest points
are closely connected to the concrete potentials. It is quite surprising that,
apart from the exponential potential, there are a large number of potentials
which can give the scaling solution when the function
equals zero for one or some values of
and if the parameter also satisfies the condition
Eq.(16) or Eq.(17) at the same time. We give the differential equations to
derive these potentials from . We also find that, if some
conditions are satisfied, the de-Sitter-like dominant point and the
scaling solution point (or ) can be stable simultaneously but
and can not be stable simultaneity. Although we survey scaling
solutions beyond the exponential potential for ordinary quintessence models in
standard general relativity, this method can be applied to other extensively
scaling solution models studied in literature[46] including coupled
quintessence, (coupled-)phantom scalar field, k-essence and even beyond the
general relativity case . we also discuss the disadvantage
of our approach.Comment: 16 pages,no figure, this new revision has taken the suggestions from

Thermal and magnetic properties of integrable spin-1 and spin-3/2 chains with applications to real compounds
The ground state and thermodynamic properties of spin-1 and spin-3/2 chains
are investigated via exactly solved su(3) and su(4) models with physically
motivated chemical potential terms. The analysis involves the Thermodynamic
Bethe Ansatz and the High Temperature Expansion (HTE) methods. For the spin-1
chain with large single-ion anisotropy, a gapped phase occurs which is
significantly different from the valence-bond-solid Haldane phase. The
theoretical curves for the magnetization, susceptibility and specific heat are
favourably compared with experimental data for a number of spin-1 chain
compounds. For the spin-3/2 chain a degenerate gapped phase exists starting at
zero external magnetic field. A middle magnetization plateau can be triggered
by the single-ion anisotropy term. Overall, our results lend further weight to
the applicability of integrable models to the physics of low-dimensional
quantum spin systems. They also highlight the utility of the exact HTE method.Comment: 38 pages, 15 figure
Pole-based approximation of Fermi-Dirac function
Two approaches for the efficient rational approximation of the Fermi-Dirac
function are discussed: one uses the contour integral representation and
conformal mapping and the other is based on a version of the multipole
representation of the Fermi-Dirac function that uses only simple poles. Both
representations have logarithmic computational complexity. They are of great
interest for electronic structure calculations.Comment: 16 pages, 8 figures, dedicated to Professor Andy Majda on the
