    Multiple magnon modes in the Co3_3Sn2_2S2_2 Weyl semimetal candidate

    Full text link
    We experimentally investigate electron transport in kagome-lattice ferromagnet Co3_3Sn2_2S2_2, which is regarded as a time-reversal symmetry broken Weyl semimetal candidate. We demonstrate dV/dI(I)dV/dI(I) curves with pronounced asymmetric dV/dIdV/dI spikes, similar to those attributed to current-induced spin-wave excitations in ferromagnetic multilayers. In contrast to multilayers, we observe several dV/dIdV/dI spikes' sequences at low, \approx104^4 A/cm2^2, current densities for a thick single-crystal Co3_3Sn2_2S2_2 flake in the regime of fully spin-polarized bulk. The spikes at low current densities can be attributed to novel magnon branches in magnetic Weyl semimetals, which are predicted due to the coupling between two magnetic moments mediated by Weyl fermions. Presence of spin-transfer effects at low current densities in Co3_3Sn2_2S2_2 makes the material attractive for applications in spintronics.Comment: final versio

    Heating and Cooling of Hot Accretion Flows by Non Local Radiation

    Full text link
    We consider non-local effects which arise when radiation emitted at one radius of an accretion disk either heats or cools gas at other radii through Compton scattering. We discuss three situations: 1. Radiation from the inner regions of an advection-dominated flow Compton cooling gas at intermediate radii and Compton heating gas at large radii. 2. Soft radiation from an outer thin accretion disk Compton cooling a hot one- or two-temperature flow on the inside. 3. Soft radiation from an inner thin accretion disk Compton cooling hot gas in a surrounding one-temperature flow. We describe how previous results are modified by these non-local interactions. We find that Compton heating or cooling of the gas by the radiation emitted in the inner regions of a hot flow is not important. Likewise, Compton cooling by the soft photons from an outer thin disk is negligible when the transition from a cold to a hot flow occurs at a radius greater than some minimum Rtr,minR_{tr,min}. However, if the hot flow terminates at R<Rtr,minR < R_{tr,min}, non-local cooling is so strong that the hot gas is cooled to a thin disk configuration in a runaway process. In the case of a thin disk surrounded by a hot one-temperature flow, we find that Compton cooling by soft radiation dominates over local cooling in the hot gas for \dot{M} \gsim 10^{-3} \alpha \dot{M}_{Edd}, and R \lsim 10^4 R_{Schw}. As a result, the maximum accretion rate for which an advection-dominated one-temperature solution exists, decreases by a factor of 10\sim 10, compared to the value computed under an assumption of local energy balance.Comment: LaTeX aaspp.sty, 25 pages, and 6 figures; to appear in Ap

    Development of shelf ecosystems in conditions of glacioeustatic fluctuations of the ocean level

    As a result of sea level change, the largest changes are observed in coastal ecosystems. One possible reason for the currently observed changes of the Black sea level is glacioeustatic fluctuations in Global sea level. In the paper, the differential equation describing changes in the relief of the shelf during the glacio–eustatic oscillations of the World Ocean level was proposed for the first time. The relationship between the inclinations of the existing and emerging shelf, abrasion rates and sea level changes is the basis of this equation. Examples of numerical and analytical solutions of the equation describing the shelf profile after the transgressive stage are given

    The MRO-accompanied modes of Re-implantation into SiO2-host matrix: XPS and DFT based scenarios

    Full text link
    The following scenarios of Re-embedding into SiO2-host by pulsed Re-implantation were derived and discussed after XPS-and-DFT electronic structure qualification: (i) low Re-impurity concentration mode -> the formation of combined substitutional and interstitial impurities with Re2O7-like atomic and electronic structures in the vicinity of oxygen vacancies; (ii) high Re-impurity concentration mode -> the fabrication of interstitial Re-metal clusters with the accompanied formation of ReO2-like atomic structures and (iii) an intermediate transient mode with Re-impurity concentration increase, when the precursors of interstitial defect clusters are appeared and growing in the host-matrix structure occur. An amplification regime of Re-metal contribution majority to the final Valence Band structure was found as one of the sequences of intermediate transient mode. It was shown that most of the qualified and discussed modes were accompanied by the MRO (middle range ordering) distortions in the initial oxygen subnetwork of the a-SiO2 host-matrix because of the appeared mixed defect configurations.Comment: 19 pages, 7 figures, accepted to J.

    The distribution density of square value probabilities functionality from trajectories of wiener process

    In the article authors develop an approach to calculating the statistic development probability for composite functions of square values in Gaussian casual process trajectories. Calculating distribution density for additive composite functions is based on standard Wiener process trajectories. Authors have developed a density formula for uniformly convergent decomposition, with x = 0. The convergence is exponentially fas

    Vertical Structure of the Outer Accretion Disk in Persistent Low-Mass X-Ray Binaries

    We have investigated the influence of X-ray irradiation on the vertical structure of the outer accretion disk in low-mass X-ray binaries by performing a self-consistent calculation of the vertical structure and X-ray radiation transfer in the disk. Penetrating deep into the disk, the field of scattered X-ray photons with energy E10E\gtrsim10\,keV exerts a significant influence on the vertical structure of the accretion disk at a distance R1010R\gtrsim10^{10}\,cm from the neutron star. At a distance R1011R\sim10^{11}\,cm, where the total surface density in the disk reaches Σ020\Sigma_0\sim20\,g\,cm2^{-2}, X-ray heating affects all layers of an optically thick disk. The X-ray heating effect is enhanced significantly in the presence of an extended atmospheric layer with a temperature Tatm(2÷3)×106T_{atm}\sim(2\div3)\times10^6\,K above the accretion disk. We have derived simple analytic formulas for the disk heating by scattered X-ray photons using an approximate solution of the transfer equation by the Sobolev method. This approximation has a 10\gtrsim10\,% accuracy in the range of X-ray photon energies E<20E<20\,keV.Comment: 19 pages, 8 figures, published in Astronomy Letter
