Electronic Structures of Antiperovskite Superconductor MgCNi and Related Compounds
Electronic structure of a newly discovered antiperovskite superconductor
MgCNi is investigated by using the LMTO band method. The main contribution
to the density of states (DOS) at the Fermi energy comes from Ni
3 states which are hybridized with C 2 states. The DOS at is
varied substantially by the hole or electron doping due to the very high and
narrow DOS peak located just below . We have also explored
electronic structures of C-site and Mg-site doped MgCNi systems, and
described the superconductivity in terms of the conventional phonon mechanism.Comment: 3 pages, presented at ORBITAL2001 September 11-14, 2001 (Sendai,

Electronic structures of antiperovskite superconductors: MgXNi (X=B,C,N)
We have investigated electronic structures of a newly discovered
antiperovskite superconductor MgCNi and related compounds MgBNi and
MgNNi. In MgCNi, a peak of very narrow and high density of states is
located just below , which corresponds to the antibonding
state of Ni-3d and C- but with the predominant Ni-3d character. The
prominent nesting feature is observed in the -centered electron Fermi
surface of an octahedron-cage-like shape that originates from the 19th band.
The estimated superconducting parameters based on the simple rigid-ion
approximation are in reasonable agreement with experiment, suggesting that the
superconductivity in MgCNi is described well by the conventional phonon
mechanism.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
Electronic structure of metallic antiperovskite compound GaCMn
We have investigated electronic structures of antiperovskite GaCMn and
related Mn compounds SnCMn, ZnCMn, and ZnNMn. In the paramagnetic
state of GaCMn, the Fermi surface nesting feature along the
direction is observed, which induces the antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin ordering
with the nesting vector {\bf Q} . Calculated
susceptibilities confirm the nesting scenario for GaCMn and also explain
various magnetic structures of other antiperovskite compounds. Through the band
folding effect, the AFM phase of GaCMn is stabilized. Nearly equal
densities of states at the Fermi level in the ferromagnetic and AFM phases of
GaCMn indicate that two phases are competing in the ground state.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Weakly Supervised Localization using Deep Feature Maps
Object localization is an important computer vision problem with a variety of
applications. The lack of large scale object-level annotations and the relative
abundance of image-level labels makes a compelling case for weak supervision in
the object localization task. Deep Convolutional Neural Networks are a class of
state-of-the-art methods for the related problem of object recognition. In this
paper, we describe a novel object localization algorithm which uses
classification networks trained on only image labels. This weakly supervised
method leverages local spatial and semantic patterns captured in the
convolutional layers of classification networks. We propose an efficient beam
search based approach to detect and localize multiple objects in images. The
proposed method significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art in standard
object localization data-sets with a 8 point increase in mAP scores
Electron-boson spectral density of LiFeAs obtained from optical data
We analyze existing optical data in the superconducting state of LiFeAs at 4 K, to recover its electron-boson spectral density. A maximum entropy
technique is employed to extract the spectral density from
the optical scattering rate. Care is taken to properly account for elastic
impurity scattering which can importantly affect the optics in an -wave
superconductor, but does not eliminate the boson structure. We find a robust
peak in centered about 8.0 meV or 5.3 (with 17.6 K). Its position in energy agrees well with a similar
structure seen in scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS). There is also a peak
in the inelastic neutron scattering (INS) data at this same energy. This peak
is found to persist in the normal state at 23 K. There is evidence that
the superconducting gap is anisotropic as was also found in low temperature
angular resolved photoemission (ARPES) data.Comment: 17 pages, 6 figure
Superconductivity-induced Phonon Renormalization on NaFeCoAs
We report a study of the lattice dynamics in superconducting NaFeAs (Tc = 8
K) and doped NaFe0.97Co0.03As (Tc = 20 K) using Raman light scattering. Five of
the six phonon modes expected from group theory are observed. In contrast with
results obtained on iso-structural and iso-electronic LiFeAs, anomalous
broadening of Eg(As) and A1g(Na) modes upon cooling is observed in both
samples. In addition, in the Co-doped sample, a superconductivity-induced
renormalization of the frequency and linewidth of the B1g(Fe) vibration is
observed. This renormalization can not be understood within a single band and
simple multi-band approaches. A theoretical model that includes the effects of
SDW correlations along with sign-changing s-wave pairing state and interband
scattering has been developed to explain the observed behavior of the B1g(Fe)
mode.Comment: 10 pages; 6 figure
