Conductance plateau in quantum spin transport through an interacting quantum dot

Quantum spin transport is studied in an interacting quantum dot. It is found that a conductance "plateau" emerges in the non-linear charge conductance by a spin bias in the Kondo regime. The conductance plateau, as a complementary to the Kondo peak, originates from the strong electron correlation and exchange processes in the quantum dot, and can be regarded as one of the characteristics in quantum spin transport.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure

A model for luminescence of localized state ensemble

A distribution function for localized carriers, $f(E,T)=\frac{1}{e^{(E-E_a)/k_BT}+\tau_{tr}/\tau_r}$, is proposed by solving a rate equation, in which, electrical carriers' generation, thermal escape, recapture and radiative recombination are taken into account. Based on this distribution function, a model is developed for luminescence from localized state ensemble with a Gaussian-type density of states. The model reproduces quantitatively all the anomalous temperature behaviors of localized state luminescence. It reduces to the well-known band-tail and luminescence quenching models under certain approximations.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figure

Urban Crime Trends Analysis and Occurrence Possibility Prediction based on Light Gradient Boosting Machine

Big Data and Machine learning have been increasingly used to fight against Urban crimes. Our goal is to discover the connection between crime-related factors and the underlying complex crime pattern. Therefore, to predict the possibility of crime occurrence. Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) Model is adopted in our study to predict the crime occurrence possibility based on actual crime information. We found that the prediction results are approximately consistent with an actual variation. We hope this work could help with crime prevention and policing

Wave equation-based reflection tomography of the 1992 Landers earthquake area

In the framework of a recent wave equation-based traveltime seismic tomography, we show that incorporating Moho-reflected phases (PmP and SmS) in addition to the direct P and S phases can significantly increase tomography resolution in the lower crust and this may provide additional evidence to resolve important tectonic issues. To highlight the resolving power of the new strategy, we apply it in the region around the 1992 Landers earthquake (Mw = 7.3) in Southern California using seismic arrivals from local earthquakes, obtaining 3-D high-resolution P and S wave crustal velocity models and Poisson''s ratio structures. In the upper crust, our method confirmed features that had been previously found. However, in the middle-to-lower crust, we found low-velocity anomalies on the southeastern section of the San Jacinto Fault and high Vp and low Vs structures to the west of the Big Bear earthquake, which may be related to upwelling of partial melt from the mantle
