Geometric discord and Measurement-induced nonlocality for well known bound entangled states
We employ geometric discord and measurement induced nonlocality to quantify
non classical correlations of some well-known bipartite bound entangled states,
namely the two families of Horodecki's (, and
dimensional) bound entangled states and that of Bennett etal's in
dimension. In most of the cases our results are analytic and both
the measures attain relatively small value. The amount of quantumness in the
bound entangled state of Benatti etal and the state
having the same matrix representation (in computational basis) is same.
Coincidently, the Werner and isotropic states also exhibit the
same property, when seen as dimensional states.Comment: V2: Title changed, one more state added; 11 pages (single column), 2

A DAQ card based mixed signal virtual oscilloscope
Complex signals find many applications in SONAR, RADAR, Echo Location Systems and for studying the resonant frequencies. Digital Storage Oscilloscopes (DSO) is used these days for acquisition and display of routine signals. This instrument, found in every measurement laboratory, though potent in displaying simple periodic waveforms like sinusoids fails when frequency-varying time signals are applied. This problem surfaces because the underlying technique of oscilloscope used to trigger the waveform does not acquiesce with complex signals like chirp. Ready solution to this problem is the mixed signal oscilloscope. This is a costly solution and small laboratories cannot afford to have the costly instruments. In this paper, a cost effective DAQ card based mixed signal virtual oscilloscope is proposed to study the complex signals. An intelligent technique, Weighted Hamming Distance (WHD) algorithm was used to accurately trigger the complex waveforms. Also for frequency domain analysis, Joint Time Frequency Analysis (JTFA) techniques were used. A LabVIEWTM based virtual instrument was designed and developed with a capability to acquire, display and analyze the triggered signal. The integrated programming language LabVIEWTM was chosen as it offers many simple ready to use functions. In a way the proposal offers a cost effective, fast and flexible solution to treat the complex signals. The need to create such solutions is the consequence of costly hardware systems. The deficiency of conventional hardware, scheme for the virtual oscilloscope for complex signals with some real time experimental results are presented in this work
Magnetic avalanche-like behavior in disordered manganite (Eu0.4La0.1)(Sr0.4Ca0.1)MnO3
The half-doped manganite, (Eu0.4La0.1)(Sr0.4Ca0.1)MnO3, has been found to
exhibit sharp step-like metamagnetic transitions below 5 K. The number of
magnetic steps increases with decreasing temperature and this number suddenly
rises from 3 at 2 K to ~50 at 1.7 K. The self-similar character of the multiple
magnetic steps at reduced temperature identifies these steps as avalanche-like
transitions. The occurrence of a multitude of magnetic steps at low
temperatures, the decreasing effect of magnetic field sweep rate on the
step-like metamagnetism, and the decreasing irreversibility of transition in
the specific heat suggest that reduced spin-lattice coupling facilitates the
transformation of antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic state via an
avalanche-like behavior.Comment: 13 pages, 5 Figure
Study of Dissipative Collisions of Ne (7-11 MeV/nucleon) + Al
The inclusive energy distributions of complex fragments (3 Z 9)
emitted in the reactions Ne (145, 158, 200, 218 MeV) + Al have
been measured in the angular range 10 - 50. The fusion-fission and
the deep-inelastic components of the fragment yield have been extracted using
multiple Gaussian functions from the experimental fragment energy spectra. The
elemental yields of the fusion-fission component have been found to be fairly
well exlained in the framework of standard statistical model. It is found that
there is strong competition between the fusion-fission and the deep-inelastic
processes at these energies. The time scale of the deep-inelastic process was
estimated to be typically in the range of 10 - 10 sec.,
and it was found to decrease with increasing fragment mass. The angular
momentum dissipations in fully energy damped deep-inelastic process have been
estimated from the average energies of the deep-inelastic components of the
fragment energy spectra. It has been found that, the estimated angular momentum
dissipations, for lighter fragments in particular, are more than those
predicted by the empirical sticking limit.Comment: 16 pages, 9 figure
Comparison of hot-electron transmission in ferromagnetic Ni on epitaxial and polycrystalline Schottky interfaces
The hot-electron attenuation length in Ni is measured as a function of energy
across two different Schottky interfaces viz. a polycrystalline Si(111)/Au and
an epitaxial Si(111)/NiSi_2 interface using ballistic electron emission
microscopy (BEEM). For similarly prepared Si(111) substrates and identical Ni
thickness, the BEEM transmission is found to be lower for the polycrystalline
interface than for the epitaxial interface. However, in both cases, the
hot-electron attenuation length in Ni is found to be the same. This is
elucidated by the temperature-independent inelastic scattering, transmission
probabilities across the Schottky interface, and scattering at dissimilar
interfaces.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
Evidence of large nuclear deformation of S formed in Ne + C reaction
Deformations of hot composite S formed in the reaction Ne
( 7 -- 10 MeV/nucleon) + C have been estimated from the respective
inclusive -particle evaporation spectra. The estimated deformations for
S have been found to be much larger than the `normal' deformations
of hot, rotating composites at similar excitations. This further confirms the
formation of highly deformed long-lived configuration of Ne + C
at high excitations ( 70 -- 100 MeV) -- which was recently indicated from
the analysis of the complex fragment emission data for the same system.
Exclusive -particle evaporation spectra from the decay of hot composite
S also show similar behaviour.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figure
