Superfluidity of hyperons in neutron stars
We study the superfluidity of hyperons in neutron star
matter and neutron stars. We use the relativistic mean field (RMF) theory to
calculate the properties of neutron star matter. In the RMF approach, the
meson-hyperon couplings are constrained by reasonable hyperon potentials that
include the updated information from recent developments in hypernuclear
physics. To examine the pairing gap of hyperons, we employ
several interactions based on the Nijmegen models and used in
double- hypernuclei studies. It is found that the maximal pairing gap
obtained is a few tenths of a MeV. The magnitude and the density region of the
pairing gap are dependent on the interaction and the treatment
of neutron star matter. We calculate neutron star properties and find that
whether the superfluidity of hyperons exists in the core of
neutron stars mainly depends on the interaction used.Comment: 22 pages, 2 Tables, 6 Figur
Adder Based Residue to Binary Number Converters for (2n - 1; 2n; 2n + 1)
Copyright © 2002 IEEEBased on an algorithm derived from the new Chinese remainder theorem I, we present three new residue-to-binary converters for the residue number system (2n-1, 2n, 2n+1) designed using 2n-bit or n-bit adders with improvements on speed, area, or dynamic range compared with various previous converters. The 2n-bit adder based converter is faster and requires about half the hardware required by previous methods. For n-bit adder-based implementations, one new converter is twice as fast as the previous method using a similar amount of hardware, whereas another new converter achieves improvement in either speed, area, or dynamic range compared with previous convertersYuke Wang, Xiaoyu Song, Mostapha Aboulhamid and Hong She
User's Guide for ERB 7 Matrix. Volume 1: Experiment Description and Quality Control Report for Year 1
The Nimbus 7 ERB MATRIX Tape is a computer program in which radiances and irradiances are converted into fluxes which are used to compute the basic scientific output parameters, emitted flux, albedo, and net radiation. They are spatially averaged and presented as time averages over one-day, six-day, and monthly periods. MATRIX data for the period November 16, 1978 through October 31, 1979 are presented. Described are the Earth Radiation Budget experiment, the Science Quality Control Report, Items checked by the MATRIX Science Quality Control Program, and Science Quality Control Data Analysis Report. Additional material from the detailed scientific quality control of the tapes which may be very useful to a user of the MATRIX tapes is included. Known errors and data problems and some suggestions on how to use the data for further climatologic and atmospheric physics studies are also discussed
Reduced hierarchy equations of motion approach with Drude plus Brownian spectral distribution: Probing electron transfer processes by means of two- dimensionalcorrelation spectroscopy
We theoretically investigate an electron transfer (ET) process in a
dissipative environment by means of two-dimensional (2D) correlation
spectroscopy. We extend the reduced hierarchy equations of motion approach to
include both overdamped Drude and underdamped Brownian modes. While the
overdamped mode describes the inhomogeneity of a system in the slow modulation
limit, the underdamped mode expresses the primary vibrational mode coupled with
the electronic states. We outline a procedure for calculating 2D correlation
spectrum that incorporates the ET processes. The present approach has the
capability of dealing with system-bath coherence under an external
perturbation, which is important to calculate nonlinear response functions for
non-Markovian noise. The calculated 2D spectrum exhibits the effects of the ET
processes through the presence of ET transition peaks along the
axis, as well as the decay of echo signals.Comment: 28 pages, 8 figures; J. Chem. Phys. 137 (2012
TEM investigation of YBa2Cu3O7 thin films on SrTiO3 bicrystals
YBa2Cu3O7 films in c-axis orientation on bicrystalline SrTiO3 substrates are investigated by TEM. The films and the substrates are examined in cross-section and in plane view. The grain boundary of the bicrystal substrate contains (110) faceted voids, but is otherwise straight on a nanometer scale. Contrary to this, the film grain boundary is not straight grain boundary can be up to 100 nm for a 100 nm thick film. The deviation from the intended position of the YBCO grain boundary can already occur at the film/substrate interface where it can be as much as ±50 nm
A blowout jet associated with one obvious extreme-ultraviolet wave and one complicated coronal mass ejection event
In this paper, we present a detailed analysis of a coronal blowout jet
eruption which was associated with an obvious extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) wave
and one complicated coronal mass ejection (CME) event based on the
multi-wavelength and multi-view-angle observations from {\sl Solar Dynamics
Observatory} and {\sl Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory}. It is found
that the triggering of the blowout jet was due to the emergence and
cancellation of magnetic fluxes on the photosphere. During the rising stage of
the jet, the EUV wave appeared just ahead of the jet top, lasting about 4
minutes and at a speed of 458 - \speed{762}. In addition, obvious dark material
is observed along the EUV jet body, which confirms the observation of a
mini-filament eruption at the jet base in the chromosphere. Interestingly, two
distinct but overlapped CME structures can be observed in corona together with
the eruption of the blowout jet. One is in narrow jet-shape, while the other
one is in bubble-shape. The jet-shaped component was unambiguously related with
the outwardly running jet itself, while the bubble-like one might either be
produced due to the reconstruction of the high coronal fields or by the
internal reconnection during the mini-filament ejection according to the
double-CME blowout jet model firstly proposed by Shen et al. (2012b),
suggesting more observational evidence should be supplied to clear the current
ambiguity based on large samples of blowout jets in future studies.Comment: APJ, Accepted October 19, 201
