Spin-dependent transmission through a chain of rings: influence of a periodically modulated spin-orbit interaction strength or ring radius
We study ballistic electron transport through a finite chain of quantum
circular rings in the presence of spin-orbit interaction of strength \alpha.
For a single ring the transmission and reflection coefficients are obtained
analytically and from them the conductance for a chain of rings as a function
of \alpha and of the wave vector k of the incident electron. We show that due
to destructive spin interferences the chain can be totaly opaque for certain
ranges of k the width of which depends on the value of \alpha. A periodic
modulation of the strength \alpha or of the ring radius widens up the gaps
considerably and produces a nearly binary conductance output.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures. Appl. Phys. Lett., in pres
Cytomolecular identification of individual wheat-wheat chromosome arm associations in wheat-rye hybrids
Chromosome pairing in the meiotic metaphase I of wheatrye
hybrids has been characterized by sequential genomic
and fluorescent in situ hybridization allowing not only the
discrimination of wheat and rye chromosomes, but also the
identification of the individual wheat and rye chromosome
arms involved in the chromosome associations. The majority
of associations (93.8%) were observed between the wheat
chromosomes. The largest number of wheat-wheat chromosome
associations (53%) was detected between the A and D
genomes, while the frequency of B-D and A-B associations
was significantly lower (32 and 8%, respectively). Among the
A-D chromosome associations, pairing between the 3AL and
3DL arms was observed with the highest frequency, while
the most frequent of all the chromosome associations (0.113/
cell) was found to be the 3DS-3BS. Differences in the pairing
frequency of the individual chromosome arms of wheat-rye
hybrids have been discussed in relation to the homoeologous
relationships between the constituent genomes of
hexaploid wheat
Maps on density operators preserving quantum f-divergences
For an arbitrary strictly convex function f defined on the
non-negative real line we determine the structure of all transformations
on the set of density operators which preserve the quantum f-divergence
Changes in the hardwood groves of the MartonvĂĄsĂĄr Manor Park (Hungary) in the last 30 years
The subject of the present study is the monitoring of the hardwood groves at the MartonvĂĄsĂĄr Manor Park with the involvement of 20 earlier (recorded in 1980â1981) and 20 current (recorded in 2011â2012) phytocoenological relevĂ©s. The manor park was created in the first half of the 19th century. Since then the woods along the St LĂĄszlĂł stream have developed into species-rich and semi-natural forests, which can be identified as related to the oak-ash-elm groves (Scillo vindobonensis-Ulmetum) of the ZĂĄmoly Basin and the Csepel Island. The results of the current monitoring repeated 30 years after the first survey show momentous changes in forest dynamics such as the ageing-related opening of the upper canopy and an intense closure of the lower canopy and shrub layer. The ratio of the invasive species doubled. Present findings may provide additional information for long-term forest ecology research, however, results could be considered as changes of a semi-natural hardwood forest with minimal human impact
