Surface phase separation in nanosized charge-ordered manganites
Recent experiments showed that the robust charge-ordering in manganites can
be weakened by reducing the grain size down to nanoscale. Weak ferromagnetism
was evidenced in both nanoparticles and nanowires of charge-ordered manganites.
To explain these observations, a phenomenological model based on surface phase
separation is proposed. The relaxation of superexchange interaction on the
surface layer allows formation of a ferromagnetic shell, whose thickness
increases with decreasing grain size. Possible exchange bias and softening of
the ferromagnetic transition in nanosized charge-ordered manganites are
predicted.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
The magnetoresistance and Hall effect in CeFeAsO: a high magnetic field study
The longitudinal electrical resistivity and the transverse Hall resistivity
of CeFeAsO are simultaneously measured up to a magnetic field of 45T using the
facilities of pulsed magnetic field at Los Alamos. Distinct behaviour is
observed in both the magnetoresistance Rxx({\mu}0H) and the Hall resistance
Rxy({\mu}0H) while crossing the structural phase transition at Ts \approx 150K.
At temperatures above Ts, little magnetoresistance is observed and the Hall
resistivity follows linear field dependence. Upon cooling down the system below
Ts, large magnetoresistance develops and the Hall resistivity deviates from the
linear field dependence. Furthermore, we found that the transition at Ts is
extremely robust against the external magnetic field. We argue that the
magnetic state in CeFeAsO is unlikely a conventional type of spin-density-wave
(SDW).Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures SCES2010, To appear in J. Phys.: Conf. Ser. for

Accurate Spectrum Map Construction Using An Intelligent Frequency-Spatial Reasoning Approach
Spectrum map is of crucial importance for realizing efficient spectrum management in the sixth-generation (6G) wireless communication networks. However, the existing spectrum map construction schemes mainly depend on spatial interpolation and cannot construct the spectrum map when the measurement data of the target frequency are not obtained. In order to overcome this challenge, an accurate spectrum map construction scheme is proposed by using an intelligent frequency-spatial reasoning approach. The frequency correlation among different spectrum maps at different frequencies is fully exploited to construct the highly accurate spectrum maps of the frequencies without spectrum data. A novel autoencoder adapting to the three-dimensional (3D) spectrum data is proposed. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed scheme is superior to the benchmark schemes in terms of the construction accuracy. Moreover, it is shown that our proposed autoencoder network has a fast convergence speed
Near-Infrared Variability Study of the Central 2.3 arcmin x 2.3 arcmin of the Galactic Centre I. Catalog of Variable Sources
We used four-year baseline HST/WFC3 IR observations of the Galactic Centre in
the F153M band (1.53 micron) to identify variable stars in the central
~2.3'x2.3' field. We classified 3845 long-term (periods from months to years)
and 76 short-term (periods of a few days or less) variables among a total
sample of 33070 stars. For 36 of the latter ones, we also derived their periods
(<3 days). Our catalog not only confirms bright long period variables and
massive eclipsing binaries identified in previous works, but also contains many
newly recognized dim variable stars. For example, we found \delta Scuti and RR
Lyrae stars towards the Galactic Centre for the first time, as well as one BL
Her star (period < 1.3 d). We cross-correlated our catalog with previous
spectroscopic studies and found that 319 variables have well-defined stellar
types, such as Wolf-Rayet, OB main sequence, supergiants and asymptotic giant
branch stars. We used colours and magnitudes to infer the probable variable
types for those stars without accurately measured periods or spectroscopic
information. We conclude that the majority of unclassified variables could
potentially be eclipsing/ellipsoidal binaries and Type II Cepheids. Our source
catalog will be valuable for future studies aimed at constraining the distance,
star formation history and massive binary fraction of the Milky Way nuclear
star cluster.Comment: has been accepted to be published in MNRAS, 64 pages, 26 figures. The
