Coherent photogalvanic effect in fluctuating superconductors
We develop a theory of the coherent photogalvanic effect (CPGE) in
low-dimensional superconductors in the fluctuating regime. It manifests itself
in the appearance of a stationary electric current of Cooper pairs under the
action of two coherent electromagnetic fields of light with frequencies lying
in the sub-terahertz range. We derive the general formula for the electric
current density, study the particular cases of linear and circular
polarizations of the external light fields, and show that the current might
have a non-monotonous spectrum at certain polarization angles and turns out
very sensitive to the proximity of the ambient temperature to the critical
temperature of superconducting transition: Approaching the critical
temperature, the peak in the spectrum becomes narrower, its frequency
experiences a redshift, and the intensity of the peak drastically grows.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Health Monitoring of Induction Motor Through Vibration Analysis
Machinery monitoring is the process of monitoring a parameter of condition in machinery, such that a significant change is indicative of a failure in development. Temperature, vibration, noise, current, voltage, acoustic emission, etc. – all these measurements are used for machine condition monitoring. Measuring vibration signals of the Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) method is widely used to detect machine faults. There are many studies for the prediction of mechanical wear, fault and failure in this area for several decades. Signal processing techniques are used to obtain vital characteristic information from the vibration signals. This paper attempts to summarize the results of an evaluation of vibration analysis techniques as a method for diagnosis for three-phase induction motors
Magnetoplasmon resonance in two-dimensional fluctuating superconductors
We develop a theory of the magnetoplasmon resonance (MPR) in two-dimensional superconductors in the fluctuating regime, where the temperature is slightly above the critical temperature of the superconducting transition. In this regime, unpaired electrons and fluctuating Cooper pairs coexist in the system and interact with each other via long-range Coulomb forces, forming a Bose-Fermi mixture. The sample is considered to be under the influence of an external time-dependent electromagnetic field with a frequency in sub-terahertz range and a permanent magnetic field. It is shown that the MPR of the system is strongly modified in the presence of superconducting fluctuations in the vicinity of the superconducting transition. In particular, the fluctuating Cooper pairs dramatically change the broadening of the MPR, which is reflected in the optical response of the system.11Nsciescopu
Second-harmonic generation in fluctuating Ising superconductors
In a two-dimensional noncentrosymmetric transition metal dichalcogenide Ising superconductor in the fluctuating regime under the action of a uniform external electromagnetic field, a second-harmonic generation (SHG) effect takes place. There emerge two contributions to this effect, one conventional, which is due to the electron gas in its normal state, and the other one is of the Aslamazov-Larkin nature. Namely, it originates from the presence of fluctuating Cooper pairs in the system when the temperature approaches the temperature of the superconducting transition in the sample from above. Employing a usual approach to Ising superconductors, we lift the valley degeneracy by application of a weak out-of-plane external magnetic field, which produces a Zeeman effect. In calculations, we use the Boltzmann equations approach for the electron gas in the normal state, and the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations for the fluctuating Cooper pairs, and show the emergence of SHG electric current characterized by a temperature-dependent broadening and a redshift.11Nsciescopu
Valley spin-acoustic resonance in MoS2 monolayers
The band structure of a monolayer MoS2 comprises spin-split subbands, owing to the mutual presence of broken inversion symmetry and strong spin-orbit coupling. In the conduction band, spin-valley coupled subbands cross each other at finite momenta, and they are valley degenerate. When exposed to surface acoustic waves, the emerging strain-induced effective magnetic fields can give rise to spin-flip transitions between the spin-split subbands in the vicinity of the subband crossing point, resulting in the emergence of a spin-acoustic resonance and the acoustoelectric current. Resonance peaks occur at acoustic frequencies of gigahertz range in the vicinity of the subband crossing point. An external magnetic field breaks the valley degeneracy, resulting in the valleyselective splitting of spin-acoustic resonances, both in surface acoustic wave absorption and acoustoelectric current.11Nsciescopu
