Mott, Floquet, and the response of periodically driven Anderson insulators
We consider periodically driven Anderson insulators. The short time behavior
for weak, monochromatic, uniform electric fields is given by linear response
theory and was famously derived by Mott. We go beyond this to consider both
long times---which is the physics of Floquet late time states---and strong
electric fields. This results in a `phase diagram' in the frequency-field
strength plane, in which we identify four distinct regimes. These are: a linear
response regime dominated by pre-existing Mott resonances, which exists
provided Floquet saturation is not reached within a period; a non-linear
perturbative regime, which exhibits multiphoton-absorption in response to the
field; a near-adiabatic regime, which exhibits a primarily reactive response
spread over the entire sample and is insensitive to pre-existing resonances;
and finally an enhanced dissipative regime.Comment: 15 pages, 9 figure

Material and system research defines accurate memory characteristics in regard to write, read, erase and data operations of manganese bismuth materials
The cosmological origin of Higgs particles
A proposal of the cosmological origin of Higgs particles is given. We show,
that the Higgs field could be created from the vacuum quantum conformal
fluctuation of Anti-de Sitter space-time, the spontaneous breaking of vacuum
symmetry, and the mass of Higgs particle are related to the cosmological
constant of our universe,especially the theoretical estimated mass m of
Higgs particles is m =.Comment: 7 pages,no figure

The measurement of very low conductivity and dielectric loss in XLPE cables: A possible method to detect degradation due to thermal aging
The dielectric response of crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) insulated, miniature power cables, extruded with inner and outer semicons, was measured over the frequency range 10-4 to 104 Hz at temperatures from 20 to 100 °C. A dielectric spectrometer was used for the frequency range 10-4 to 10-2 Hz. A bespoke noise-free power supply was constructed and used to measure the dc conductivity and, using a Fourier transform technique, it was also used to measure the very low dielectric tanδ losses encountered at frequencies of 1 to 100 Hz. Tanδ measurements of <;10-5 were found in this frequency range and attributed to a β-mode dielectric relaxation lying above 100 Hz due to motion of chain segments in the amorphous region and an β-mode relaxation lying below 1 Hz window due to twists of chains in the crystal lamellae. The dc conductivity measurements were consistent with those of the dielectric spectrometer and indicate lower dc conductivities in vacuum degassed cables than have been previously reported for XLPE (less than 10-17 S.m-1). The conduction process is thermally activated with an activation energy of approximately 1.1 eV. Higher conductivities were found for non-degassed cables. A transformer ratio bridge was used for measurements in the range 1 to 10 kHz; loss in this region was shown to be due to the series resistance of the semicon layers. Thermal ageing of the cables at 135 °C for 60 days caused significant increases in the conductivity and tanδ and it is considered that such measurements may be a sensitive way of measuring electrical degradation due to thermal aging
Quantum Statistical Entropy and Minimal Length of 5D Ricci-flat Black String with Generalized Uncertainty Principle
In this paper, we study the quantum statistical entropy in a 5D Ricci-flat
black string solution, which contains a 4D Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole
on the brane, by using the improved thin-layer method with the generalized
uncertainty principle. The entropy is the linear sum of the areas of the event
horizon and the cosmological horizon without any cut-off and any constraint on
the bulk's configuration rather than the usual uncertainty principle. The
system's density of state and free energy are convergent in the neighborhood of
horizon. The small-mass approximation is determined by the asymptotic behavior
of metric function near horizons. Meanwhile, we obtain the minimal length of
the position which is restrained by the surface gravities and the
thickness of layer near horizons.Comment: 11pages and this work is dedicated to the memory of Professor Hongya
