Hawking Radiation of an Arbitrarily Accelerating Kinnersley Black Hole: Spin-Acceleration Coupling Effect
The Hawking radiation of Weyl neutrinos in an arbitrarily accelerating
Kinnersley black hole is investigated by using a method of the generalized
tortoise coordinate transformation. Both the location and temperature of the
event horizon depend on the time and on the angles. They coincide with previous
results, but the thermal radiation spectrum of massless spinor particles
displays a kind of spin-acceleration coupling effect.Comment: 8 pages, no figure, revtex 4.0, revisted version with typesetting

Tracers of chromospheric structure. I. CaII HK emission distribution of 13000 F, G and K stars in SDSS DR7 spectroscopic sample
We present chromospheric activity index measurements for over
13,000 F, G and K disk stars with high signal-to-noise ratio ( 60) spectra
in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7) spectroscopic
sample. A parameter S is defined as the difference between
and a `zero' emission line fitted by several of the most inactive stars. The
indices of subgiant stars tend to be much lower than dwarfs, which
provide a way to distinguish dwarfs and giants with relatively low resolution
spectra. Cooler stars are generally more active and display a larger scatter
than hotter stars. Stars associated with the thick disk are in general less
active than those of the thin disk. The fraction of K dwarfs that are active
drops with vertical distance from the Galactic plane. Metallicity affects
measurements differently among F, G and K dwarfs in this sample.
Using the open clusters NGC 2420, M67 and NGC6791 as calibrations, ages of most
field stars in this SDSS sample range from 3-8 Gyr.Comment: 9 pages, 11 figures, AJ, 2013, 145, 14
Non-existence of New Quantum Ergosphere Effect of a Vaidya-type Black Hole
Hawking evaporation of Dirac particles and scalar fields in a Vaidya-type
black hole is investigated by the method of generalized tortoise coordinate
transformation. It is shown that Hawking radiation of Dirac particles does not
exist for components but for components in any
Vaidya-type black holes. Both the location and the temperature of the event
horizon change with time. The thermal radiation spectrum of Dirac particles is
the same as that of Klein-Gordon particles. We demonstrates that there is no
new quantum ergosphere effect in the thermal radiation of Dirac particles in
any spherically symmetry black holes.Comment: Latex, 9 pages, no figure, submitted to Mod. Phys. Lett.
Thermomechanical Characterization And Modeling For TSV Structures
Continual scaling of devices and on-chip wiring has brought significant challenges for materials and processes beyond the 32-nm technology node in microelectronics. Recently, three-dimensional (3-D) integration with through-silicon vias (TSVs) has emerged as an effective solution to meet the future technology requirements. Among others, thermo-mechanical reliability is a key concern for the development of TSV structures used in die stacking as 3-D interconnects. This paper presents experimental measurements of the thermal stresses in TSV structures and analyses of interfacial reliability. The micro-Raman measurements were made to characterize the local distribution of the near-surface stresses in Si around TSVs. On the other hand, the precision wafer curvature technique was employed to measure the average stress and deformation in the TSV structures subject to thermal cycling. To understand the elastic and plastic behavior of TSVs, the microstructural evolution of the Cu vias was analyzed using focused ion beam (FIB) and electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD) techniques. Furthermore, the impact of thermal stresses on interfacial reliability of TSV structures was investigated by a shear-lag cohesive zone model that predicts the critical temperatures and critical via diameters.Microelectronics Research Cente
