From first-order magneto-elastic to magneto-structural transition in (Mn,Fe)1.95P0.50Si0.50 compounds
We report on structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of
MnxFe1.95-xP0.50Si0.50 (x > 1.10) compounds. With increasing the Mn:Fe ratio, a
first-order magneto-elastic transition gradually changes into a first-order
magneto-structural transition via a second-order magnetic transition. The study
also shows that thermal hysteresis can be tuned by varying the Mn:Fe ratio.
Small thermal hysteresis (less than 1 K) can be obtained while maintaining a
giant magnetocaloric effect. This achievement paves the way for real
refrigeration applications using magnetic refrigerants.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, Supplemental Materia
Generation of frequency multiplexed entangled single photons assisted by the entanglement
We present a scheme to generate the frequency multiplexed entangled (FME)
single photons based on the entanglement between two species atomic mixture
ensemble. The write and reads fields driven according to a certain timing
sequence, the generation of FME single photons can be repeated until success is
achieved. The source might have significant applications in wavelength division
multiplexing quantum key distribution.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, submitted to PR
Large deformation of spherical vesicle studied by perturbation theory and Surface evolver
With tangent angle perturbation approach the axial symmetry deformation of a
spherical vesicle in large under the pressure changes is studied by the
elasticity theory of Helfrich spontaneous curvature model.Three main results in
axial symmetry shape: biconcave shape, peanut shape, and one type of myelin are
obtained. These axial symmetry morphology deformations are in agreement with
those observed in lipsome experiments by dark-field light microscopy [Hotani,
J. Mol. Biol. 178, (1984) 113] and in the red blood cell with two thin
filaments (myelin) observed in living state (see, Bessis, Living Blood Cells
and Their Ultrastructure, Springer-Verlag, 1973). Furthermore, the biconcave
shape and peanut shape can be simulated with the help of a powerful software,
Surface Evolver [Brakke, Exp. Math. 1, 141 (1992) 141], in which the
spontaneous curvature can be easy taken into account.Comment: 16 pages, 6 EPS figures and 2 PS figure
Effects of losses in the hybrid atom-light interferometer
Enhanced Raman scattering can be obtained by injecting a seeded light field
which is correlated with the initially prepared collective atomic excitation.
This Raman amplification process can be used to realize atom-light hybrid
interferometer. We numerically calculate the phase sensitivities and the
signal-to-noise ratios of this interferometer with the method of homodyne
detection and intensity detection, and give their differences between this two
methods. In the presence of loss of light field and atomic decoherence the
measure precision will be reduced which can be explained by the break of the
intermode decorrelation conditions of output modesComment: 9 pages, 7 figure
A Dispersive Analysis on the and Resonances in Processes
We estimate the di-photon coupling of , and
resonances in a coupled channel dispersive approach. The di-photon
coupling is also reinvestigated using a single channel matrix for
scattering with better analyticity property, and it is found to be
significantly smaller than that of a state. Especially we also
estimate the di-photon coupling of the third sheet pole located near
threshold, denoted as .
It is argued that this third sheet pole may be originated from a coupled
channel Breit-Wigner description of the resonance.Comment: 24 pages and 13 eps figures. A nuerical bug in previous version is
fixed. Some results changed. References and new figures added. Version to
appear in Phys. Rev.
Atom-Light Hybrid Interferometer
A new type of hybrid atom-light interferometer is demonstrated with atomic Raman amplification processes replacing the beam splitting elements in a traditional interferometer. This nonconventional interferometer involves correlated optical and atomic waves in the two arms. The correlation between atoms and light developed with the Raman process makes this interferometer different from conventional interferometers with linear beam splitters. It is observed that the high-contrast interference fringes are sensitive to the optical phase via a path change as well as the atomic phase via a magnetic field change. This new atom-light correlated hybrid interferometer is a sensitive probe of the atomic internal state and should find wide applications in precision measurement and quantum control with atoms and photons
