Spectator Behavior in a Quantum Hall Antidot with Multiple Bound Modes
We theoretically study Aharonov-Bohm resonances in an antidot system with
multiple bound modes in the integer quantum Hall regime, taking capacitive
interactions between the modes into account. We find the spectator behavior
that the resonances of some modes disappear and instead are replaced by those
of other modes, due to internal charge relaxation between the modes. This
behavior is a possible origin of the features of previous experimental data
which remain unexplained, spectator behavior in an antidot molecule and
resonances in a single antidot with three modes.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, to be published in Physical Review Letter
On Inhomogeneity of a String Bit Model for Quantum Gravity
We study quantum gravitational effect on a two-dimensional open universe with
one particle by means of a string bit model. We find that matter is necessarily
homogeneously distributed if the influence of the particle on the size of the
universe is optimized.Comment: 16 pages, LaTeX2
Solar pumped laser
A solar pumped laser is described in which the lasant is a gas that will photodissociate and lase when subjected to sunrays. Sunrays are collected and directed onto the gas lasant to cause it to lase. Applications to laser propulsion and laser power transmission are discussed
Reduction of the radar cross section of arbitrarily shaped cavity structures
The problem of the reduction of the radar cross section (RCS) of open-ended cavities was studied. The issues investigated were reduction through lossy coating materials on the inner cavity wall and reduction through shaping of the cavity. A method was presented to calculate the RCS of any arbitrarily shaped structure in order to study the shaping problem. The limitations of this method were also addressed. The modal attenuation was studied in a multilayered coated waveguide. It was shown that by employing two layers of coating, it was possible to achieve an increase in both the magnitude of attenuation and the frequency band of effectiveness. The numerical method used in finding the roots of the characteristic equation breaks down when the coating thickness is very lossy and large in terms of wavelength. A new method of computing the RCS of an arbitrary cavity was applied to study the effects of longitudinal bending on RCS reduction. The ray and modal descriptions for the fields in a parallel plate waveguide were compared. To extend the range of validity of the Shooting and Bouncing Ray (SBR) method, the simple ray picture must be modified to account for the beam blurring
On the Correct Convergence of Complex Langevin Simulations for Polynomial Actions
There are problems in physics and particularly in field theory which are
defined by complex valued weight functions where is a polynomial
action . The conditions under which a convergent complex
Langevin calculation correctly simulates such integrals are discussed. All
conditions on the process which are used to prove proper convergence are
defined in the stationary limit.Comment: 8 pages, LaTeX file, preprint UNIGRAZ-UTP 29-09-9
