Magnon topology and thermal Hall effect in trimerized triangular lattice antiferromagnet
The non-trivial magnon band topology and its consequent responses have been
extensively studied in two-dimensional magnetisms. However, the triangular
lattice antiferromagnet (TLAF), the best-known frustrated two-dimensional
magnet, has received less attention than the closely related Kagome system,
because of the spin-chirality cancellation in the umbrella ground state of the
undistorted TLAF. In this work, we study the band topology and the thermal Hall
effect (THE) of the TLAF with (anti-)trimerization distortion under the
external perpendicular magnetic field using the linearized spin wave theory. We
show that the spin-chirality cancellation is removed in such case, giving rise
to the non-trivial magnon band topology and the finite THE. Moreover, the
magnon bands exhibit band topology transitions tuned by the magnetic field. We
demonstrate that such transitions are accompanied by the logarithmic divergence
of the first derivative of the thermal Hall conductivity. Finally, we examine
the above consequences by calculating the THE in the hexagonal manganite
YMnO, well known to have anti-trimerization.Comment: 6 + 7 pages, 3 + 5 figures, 0 + 1 table; Journal reference adde
Competing states for the fractional quantum Hall effect in the 1/3-filled second Landau level
In this work, we investigate the nature of the fractional quantum Hall state
in the 1/3-filled second Landau level (SLL) at filling factor (and
8/3 in the presence of the particle-hole symmetry) via exact diagonalization in
both torus and spherical geometries. Specifically, we compute the overlap
between the exact 7/3 ground state and various competing states including (i)
the Laughlin state, (ii) the fermionic Haffnian state, (iii) the
antisymmetrized product state of two composite fermion seas at 1/6 filling, and
(iv) the particle-hole (PH) conjugate of the parafermion state. All these
trial states are constructed according to a guiding principle called the
bilayer mapping approach, where a trial state is obtained as the
antisymmetrized projection of a bilayer quantum Hall state with interlayer
distance as a variational parameter. Under the proper understanding of the
ground-state degeneracy in the torus geometry, the parafermion state can
be obtained as the antisymmetrized projection of the Halperin (330) state.
Similarly, it is proved in this work that the fermionic Haffnian state can be
obtained as the antisymmetrized projection of the Halperin (551) state. It is
shown that, while extremely accurate at sufficiently large positive Haldane
pseudopotential variation , the Laughlin state loses its
overlap with the exact 7/3 ground state significantly at . At slightly negative , it is shown that the
PH-conjugated parafermion state has a substantial overlap with the exact
7/3 ground state, which is the highest among the above four trial states.Comment: 22 pages, 5 figure
A Comparative Study on the Impact of the Capabilities of Manufacturing and Service Firms on Export Performance: Focusing on the Interaction Effect of R&D
128–131This paper empirically examined the impact of firm capabilities and the interaction effect of R&D on the export performance of service firms in comparison with manufacturing firms. To this end, a total of 1,968 Korean firms were analyzed: 243 from service and 1,725 from manufacturing, and two-stage analysis was performed using multiple regression and hierarchical regression analysis. This research confirmed that network and customer capabilities played critical roles in the internationalization of service firms and R&D positively interacted with entrepreneurship and customer capabilities for export performance. These findings suggest valuable policy considerations for government trade policy and academic motivation for further research on the capabilities and R&D of service firms
Verilog Modeling of Transmission Line for USB 2.0 High-Speed PHY Interface
A Verilog model is proposed for transmission lines to perform the all-Verilog simulation of high-speed chip-to-chip interface system, which reduces the simulation time by around 770 times compared to the mixed-mode simulation. The single-pulse response of transmission line in SPICE model is converted into that in Verilog model by converting the full-scale analog signal into an 11-bit digital code after uniform time sampling. The receiver waveform of transmission line is calculated by adding or subtracting the single-pulse response in Verilog model depending on the transmitting digital code values with appropriate time delay. The application of this work to a USB 2.0 high-speed PHY interface reduces the simulation time to less than three minutes with error less than 5% while the mixed-mode simulation takes more than two days for the same circuit.X1133Ysciescopu
Catalytic pyrolysis of Laminaria japonica over nanoporous catalysts using Py-GC/MS
The catalytic pyrolysis of Laminaria japonica was carried out over a hierarchical meso-MFI zeolite (Meso-MFI) and nanoporous Al-MCM-48 using pyrolysis gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS). The effect of the catalyst type on the product distribution and chemical composition of the bio-oil was examined using Py-GC/MS. The Meso-MFI exhibited a higher activity in deoxygenation and aromatization during the catalytic pyrolysis of L. japonica. Meanwhile, the catalytic activity of Al-MCM-48 was lower than that of Meso-MFI due to its weak acidity
Growth characteristics and productivity of cold-tolerant “Kowinearly” Italian ryegrass in the northern part of South Korea
The objective of this research is to evaluate differences in growth characteristics and productivity between Kowinearly and Florida 80 Italian ryegrass varieties in regions with severely cold winters. This research was carried out in Suwon (in central South Korea) and Yonchun (in northern South Korea) during the 2002 2006 growing seasons. Kowinearly is a diploid variety with green leaf colour and a semi prostrate growth habit in autumn and a semi-erect one in spring. There were differences among the varieties in terms of cold tolerance, heading date, and forage yield in Yonchun. The winter field survival of Kowinearly was 85%, while that of Florida 80 was 43%. The dry matter yield of Kowinearly in Yonchun was 9,662 kg/ha, which was 31% more than that of Florida 80. In Suwon, the heading date of Kowinearly was May 7, which was 2 days later than that of Florida 80. In Yonchun, Kowinearly’s heading date was May 12, 1 day earlier than that of Florida 80. These results indicate that Kowinearly has good cold tolerance, and that in spring, it starts growth earlier than Florida 80, because of its higher cold tolerance.Keywords: Italian ryegrass, Kowinearly, cold tolerance, new variety, forage cro
