Impact of Power Allocation and Antenna Directivity in the Capacity of a Multiuser Cognitive Ad Hoc Network
This paper studies the benefits that power control and antenna directivity can bring to the capacity of a multiuser cognitive radio network. The main objective is to optimize the secondary network sum rate under the capacity constraint of the primary network. Exploiting location awareness, antenna directivity, and the power control capability, the cognitive radio ad hoc network can broaden its coverage and improve capacity. Computer simulations show that by employing the proposed method the system performance is significantly enhanced compared to conventional fixed power allocation
Spin-polarized current and shot noise in the presence of spin flip in a quantum dot via nonequilibrium Green's functions
Using non-equilibrium Green functions we calculate the spin-polarized current
and shot noise in a ferromagnet--quantum-dot--ferromagnet (FM-QD-FM) system.
Both parallel (P) and antiparallel (AP) magnetic configurations are considered.
Coulomb interaction and coherent spin-flip (similar to a transverse magnetic
field) are taken into account within the dot. We find that the interplay
between Coulomb interaction and spin accumulation in the dot can result in a
bias-dependent current polarization . In particular, can be
suppressed in the P alignment and enhanced in the AP case depending on the bias
voltage. The coherent spin-flip can also result in a switch of the current
polarization from the emitter to the collector lead. Interestingly, for a
particular set of parameters it is possible to have a polarized current in the
collector and an unpolarized current in the emitter lead. We also found a
suppression of the Fano factor to values well below 0.5.Comment: Published version. 13 pages, 7 figure
Statistical multifragmentation model with discretized energy and the generalized Fermi breakup. I. Formulation of the model
The Generalized Fermi Breakup recently demonstrated to be formally equivalent
to the Statistical Multifragmentation Model, if the contribution of excited
states are included in the state densities of the former, is implemented. Since
this treatment requires the application of the Statistical Multifragmentation
Model repeatedly on the hot fragments until they have decayed to their ground
states, it becomes extremely computational demanding, making its application to
the systems of interest extremely difficult. Based on exact recursion formulae
previously developed by Chase and Mekjian to calculate the statistical weights
very efficiently, we present an implementation which is efficient enough to
allow it to be applied to large systems at high excitation energies. Comparison
with the GEMINI++ sequential decay code shows that the predictions obtained
with our treatment are fairly similar to those obtained with this more
traditional model.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figure
Acceptance of fluorescence detectors and its implication in energy spectrum inference at the highest energies
Along the years HiRes and AGASA experiments have explored the fluorescence
and the ground array experimental techniques to measure extensive air showers,
being both essential to investigate the ultra-high energy cosmic rays. However,
such Collaborations have published contradictory energy spectra for energies
above the GZK cut-off. In this article, we investigate the acceptance of
fluorescence telescopes to different primary particles at the highest energies.
Using CORSIKA and CONEX shower simulations without and with the new
pre-showering scheme, which allows photons to interact in the Earth magnetic
field, we estimate the aperture of the HiRes-I telescope for gammas, iron
nuclei and protons primaries as a function of the number of simulated events
and primary energy. We also investigate the possibility that systematic
differences in shower development for hadrons and gammas could mask or distort
vital features of the cosmic ray energy spectrum at energies above the
photo-pion production threshold. The impact of these effects on the true
acceptance of a fluorescence detector is analyzed in the context of top-down
production models
Reentrant valence transition in EuO at high pressures: beyond the bond-valence model
The pressure-dependent relation between Eu valence and lattice structure in
model compound EuO is studied with synchrotron-based x-ray spectroscopic and
diffraction techniques. Contrary to expectation, a 7% volume collapse at
45 GPa is accompanied by a reentrant Eu valence transition into a
\emph{lower} valence state. In addition to highlighting the need for probing
both structure and electronic states directly when valence information is
sought in mixed-valent systems, the results also show that widely used
bond-valence methods fail to quantitatively describe the complex electronic
valence behavior of EuO under pressure.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Supersymmetric Method for Constructing Quasi-Exactly and Conditionally-Exactly Solvable Potentials
Using supersymmetric quantum mechanics we develop a new method for
constructing quasi-exactly solvable (QES) potentials with two known
eigenstates. This method is extended for constructing conditionally-exactly
solvable potentials (CES). The considered QES potentials at certain values of
parameters become exactly solvable and can be treated as CES ones.Comment: 17 pages, latex, no figure
