Comparing Deep Recurrent Networks Based on the MAE Random Sampling, a First Approach
Recurrent neural networks have demonstrated to be good at tackling prediction problems, however due to their high sensitivity to
hyper-parameter configuration, finding an appropriate network is a tough task. Automatic hyper-parameter optimization methods have emerged to find the most suitable configuration to a given problem, but these methods are not generally adopted because of their high computational cost. Therefore, in this study we extend the MAE random sampling, a low-cost method to compare single-hidden layer architectures, to multiple-hidden-layer ones. We validate empirically our proposal and show that it is possible to predict and compare the expected performance of an hyper-parameter configuration in a low-cost way.Universidad de Málaga.

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
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
Scheme for remote implementation of partially unknown quantum operation of two qubits in cavity QED
By constructing the recovery operations of the protocol of remote
implementation of partially unknown quantum operation of two qubits [An Min
Wang: PRA, \textbf{74}, 032317(2006)], we present a scheme to implement it in
cavity QED. Long-lived Rydberg atoms are used as qubits, and the interaction
between the atoms and the field of cavity is a nonresonant one. Finally, we
analyze the experimental feasibility of this scheme.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figure
Optical identification of ISO far-infrared sources in the Lockman Hole using a deep VLA 1.4 GHz continuum survey
By exploiting the far-infrared(FIR) and radio correlation, we have performed
the Likelihood-Ratio analysis to identify optical counterparts to the
far-infrared sources in the Lockman Hole. Using the likelihood ratio analysis
and the associated reliability, 44 FIR sources have been identified with radio
sources. Redshifts have been obtained for 29 out of 44 identified sources. One
hyper-luminous infrared galaxy (HyLIRG) with and four ultraluminous infrared
galaxies (ULIRGs) are identified in our sample. The space density of the FIR
sources at z = 0.3-0.6 is 4.6\times 10^{-5}Mpc^{-3}, implying a rapid evolution
of the ULIRG population. Most of \ISO FIR sources have their FIR-radio ratios
similar to star-forming galaxies ARP 220 and M82. At least seven of our FIR
sources show evidence for the presence of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) in
optical emission lines, radio continuum excess, or X-ray activity. Three out of
five (60%) of the ULIRG/HyLIRGs are AGN galaxies. Five of the seven AGN
galaxies are within the ROSAT X-ray survey field, and two are within the
XMM-Newton survey fields. X-ray emission has been detected in only one source,
1EX030, which is optically classified as a quasar. The non-detection in the
XMM-Newton 2-10 keV band suggests a very thick absorption obscuring the central
source of the two AGN galaxies. Several sources have an extreme FIR luminosity
relative to the optical R-band, L(90\mu\mathrm{m})/L(R) > 500, which is rare
even among the local ULIRG population. While source confusion or blending might
offer an explanation in some cases, they may represent a new population of
galaxies with an extreme activity of star formation in an undeveloped stellar
system -- i.e., formation of bulges or young ellipticals.Comment: 55 pages, 16 figures. To appear in A
Raman Scattering Study of the Lattice Dynamics of Superconducting LiFeAs
We report an investigation of the lattice dynamical properties of LiFeAs
using inelastic light scattering. Five out of the six expected phonon modes are
observed. The temperature evolution of their frequencies and linewidths is in
good agreement with an anharmonic-decay model. We find no evidence for
substantial electron-phonon coupling, and no superconductivity-induced phonon
anomalies.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, 1 tabl
Void-mediated formation of Sn quantum dots in a Si matrix
Atomic scale analysis of Sn quantum dots (QDs) formed during the molecular beam-epitaxy (MBE) growth of Sn_xSi_(1−x) (0.05 ⩽ x ⩽ 0.1) multilayers in a Si matrix revealed a void-mediated formation mechanism. Voids below the Si surface are induced by the lattice mismatch strain between Sn_xSi_(1−x) layers and Si, taking on their equilibrium tetrakaidecahedron shape. The diffusion of Sn atoms into these voids leads to an initial rapid coarsening of quantum dots during annealing. Since this formation process is not restricted to Sn, a method to grow QDs may be developed by controlling the formation of voids and the diffusion of materials into these voids during MBE growth
Electronic structure of YbB: Is it a Topological Insulator or not?
To resolve the controversial issue of the topological nature of the
electronic structure of YbB, we have made a combined study using density
functional theory (DFT) and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES).
Accurate determination of the low energy band topology in DFT requires the use
of modified Becke-Johnson exchange potential incorporating the spin-orbit
coupling and the on-site Coulomb interaction of Yb electrons as large
as 7 eV. We have double-checked the DFT result with the more precise GW band
calculation. ARPES is done with the non-polar (110) surface termination to
avoid band bending and quantum well confinement that have confused ARPES
spectra taken on the polar (001) surface termination. Thereby we show
definitively that YbB has a topologically trivial B 2-Yb 5
semiconductor band gap, and hence is a non-Kondo non-topological insulator
(TI). In agreement with theory, ARPES shows pure divalency for Yb and a -
band gap of 0.3 eV, which clearly rules out both of the previous scenarios of
- band inversion Kondo TI and - band inversion non-Kondo TI. We
have also examined the pressure-dependent electronic structure of YbB,
and found that the high pressure phase is not a Kondo TI but a
\emph{p}-\emph{d} overlap semimetal.Comment: The main text is 6 pages with 4 figures, and the supplementary
