Quantum criticality and nodal superconductivity in the FeAs-based superconductor KFe2As2
The in-plane resistivity and thermal conductivity of
FeAs-based superconductor KFeAs single crystal were measured down to 50
mK. We observe non-Fermi-liquid behavior at =
5 T, and the development of a Fermi liquid state with when
further increasing field. This suggests a field-induced quantum critical point,
occurring at the superconducting upper critical field . In zero field
there is a large residual linear term , and the field dependence of
mimics that in d-wave cuprate superconductors. This indicates that
the superconducting gaps in KFeAs have nodes, likely d-wave symmetry.
Such a nodal superconductivity is attributed to the antiferromagnetic spin
fluctuations near the quantum critical point.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures - replaces arXiv:0909.485
A surface defect detection method of the magnesium alloy sheet based on deformable convolution neural network
In the rolling process of the magnesium alloy sheet, due to improper control parameters or inaccurate production equipment and other reasons, the surface of the magnesium alloy sheet is prone to appearance of edge crack, fold, inclusion, ripple, scratch and other defects. In order to improve the surface quality of the magnesium alloy sheet, a surface defect detection method based on deformable convolution neural network is proposed in the paper, which presents a higher detection accuracy than those traditional methods on the convolutional neural network (CNN), support vector machine (SVM) and Bayes. The experiment result shows the final detecting accuracy is greater than 95 %
Quantum Criticality of 1D Attractive Fermi Gas
We obtain an analytical equation of state for one-dimensional strongly
attractive Fermi gas for all parameter regime in current experiments. From the
equation of state we derive universal scaling functions that control whole
thermodynamical properties in quantum critical regimes and illustrate physical
origin of quantum criticality. It turns out that the critical properties of the
system are described by these of free fermions and those of mixtures of
fermions with mass and . We also show how these critical properties of
bulk systems can be revealed from the density profile of trapped Fermi gas at
finite temperatures and can be used to determine the T=0 phase boundaries
without any arbitrariness.Comment: extended version, 9 pages, 7 eps figures, corrections of few typo
Ionitronic manipulation of current-induced domain wall motion in synthetic antiferromagnets
The current induced motion of domain walls forms the basis of several advanced spintronic technologies. The most efficient domain wall motion is found in synthetic antiferromagnetic (SAF) structures that are composed of an upper and a lower ferromagnetic layer coupled antiferromagnetically via a thin ruthenium layer. The antiferromagnetic coupling gives rise to a giant exchange torque with which current moves domain walls at maximum velocities when the magnetic moments of the two layers are matched. Here we show that the velocity of domain walls in SAF nanowires can be reversibly tuned by several hundred m/s in a non-volatile manner by ionic liquid gating. Ionic liquid gating results in reversible changes in oxidation of the upper magnetic layer in the SAF over a wide gate-voltage window. This changes the delicate balance in the magnetic properties of the SAF and, thereby, results in large changes in the exchange coupling torque and the current-induced domain wall velocity. Furthermore, we demonstrate an example of an ionitronic-based spintronic switch as a component of a potential logic technology towards energy-efficient, all electrical, memory-in-logic

A progressive diagonalization scheme for the Rabi Hamiltonian
A diagonalization scheme for the Rabi Hamiltonian, which describes a qubit
interacting with a single-mode radiation field via a dipole interaction, is
proposed. It is shown that the Rabi Hamiltonian can be solved almost exactly
using a progressive scheme that involves a finite set of one variable
polynomial equations. The scheme is especially efficient for lower part of the
spectrum. Some low-lying energy levels of the model with several sets of
parameters are calculated and compared to those provided by the recently
proposed generalized rotating-wave approximation and full matrix
diagonalization.Comment: 8pages, 1 figure, LaTeX. Accepted for publication in J. Phys. B: At.

Global properties of Stochastic Loewner evolution driven by Levy processes
Standard Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) is driven by a continuous Brownian
motion which then produces a trace, a continuous fractal curve connecting the
singular points of the motion. If jumps are added to the driving function, the
trace branches. In a recent publication [1] we introduced a generalized SLE
driven by a superposition of a Brownian motion and a fractal set of jumps
(technically a stable L\'evy process). We then discussed the small-scale
properties of the resulting L\'evy-SLE growth process. Here we discuss the same
model, but focus on the global scaling behavior which ensues as time goes to
infinity. This limiting behavior is independent of the Brownian forcing and
depends upon only a single parameter, , which defines the shape of the
stable L\'evy distribution. We learn about this behavior by studying a
Fokker-Planck equation which gives the probability distribution for endpoints
of the trace as a function of time. As in the short-time case previously
studied, we observe that the properties of this growth process change
qualitatively and singularly at . We show both analytically and
numerically that the growth continues indefinitely in the vertical direction
for , goes as for , and saturates for . The probability density has two different scales corresponding to
directions along and perpendicular to the boundary. In the former case, the
characteristic scale is . In the latter case the scale
is for , and
for . Scaling functions for the probability density are given for
various limiting cases.Comment: Published versio
A Catalog of Architectural Tactics for Cyber-Foraging
Mobile devices have become for many the preferred way of interacting with the Internet, social media and the enterprise. However, mobile devices still do not have the computing power or battery life that will allow them to perform effectively over long periods of time or for executing applications that require extensive communication or computation, or low latency. Cyber-foraging is a technique enabling mobile devices to extend their computing power and storage by offloading computation or data to more powerful servers located in the cloud or in single-hop proximity. This paper presents a catalog of architectural tactics for cyber-foraging that was derived from the results of a systematic literature review on architectures for cyber-foraging systems. Elements of the architectures identified in the primary studies were codified in the form of Architectural Tactics for Cyber-Foraging. These tactics will help architects extend their design reasoning towards cyber-foraging as a way to support the mobile applications of the present and the future
Publication and patent analysis of European researchers in the field of production technology and manufacturing systems
This paper develops a structured comparison among a sample of European researchers in the field of Production Technology and Manufacturing Systems, on the basis of scientific publications and patents. Researchers are evaluated and compared by a variegated set of indicators concerning (1) the output of individual researchers and (2) that of groups of researchers from the same country. While not claiming to be exhaustive, the results of this preliminary study provide a rough indication of the publishing and patenting activity of researchers in the field of interest, identifying (dis)similarities between different countries. Of particular interest is a proposal for aggregating analysis results by means of maps based on publication and patent indicators. A large amount of empirical data are presented and discusse
