Mapping the B,T phase diagram of frustrated metamagnet CuFeO2
The magnetic phase diagram of CuFeO2 as a function of applied magnetic field
and temperature is thoroughly explored and expanded, both for magnetic fields
applied parallel and perpendicular to the material's c-axis. Pulsed field
magnetization measurements extend the typical magnetic staircase of CuFeO2 at
various temperatures, demonstrating the persistence of the recently discovered
high field metamagnetic transition up to Tn2 ~ 11 K in both field
configurations. An extension of the previously introduced phenomenological spin
model used to describe the high field magnetization process (Phys. Rev. B, 80,
012406 (2009)) is applied to each of the consecutive low-field commensurate
spin structures, yielding a semi-quantitative simulation and intuitive
description of the entire experimental magnetization process in both relevant
field directions with a single set of parameters.Comment: 14 pages, 11 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Direct mail selection by joint modeling of the probability and quantity of response
Operations such as integration or modularization of databases can be considered as operations on database universes. This paper describes some operations on database universes. Formally, a database universe is a special kind of table. It turns out that various operations on tables constitute interesting operations on database universes as well.
High-field recovery of the undistorted triangular lattice in the frustrated metamagnet CuFeO2
Pulsed field magnetization experiments extend the typical metamagnetic
staircase of CuFeO2 up to 58 T to reveal an additional first order phase
transition at high field for both the parallel and perpendicular field
configuration. Virtually complete isotropic behavior is retrieved only above
this transition, indicating the high-field recovery of the undistorted
triangular lattice. A consistent phenomenological rationalization for the field
dependence and metamagnetism crossover of the system is provided, demonstrating
the importance of both spin-phonon coupling and a small field-dependent
easy-axis anisotropy in accurately describing the magnetization process of
CuFeO2.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Involutivity of integrals for sine-Gordon, modified KdV and potential KdV maps
Closed form expressions in terms of multi-sums of products have been given in
\cite{Tranclosedform, KRQ} of integrals of sine-Gordon, modified Korteweg-de
Vries and potential Korteweg-de Vries maps obtained as so-called
-traveling wave reductions of the corresponding partial difference
equations. We prove the involutivity of these integrals with respect to
recently found symplectic structures for those maps. The proof is based on
explicit formulae for the Poisson brackets between multi-sums of products.Comment: 24 page
Three-dimensional character of atom-chip-based rf-dressed potentials
We experimentally investigate the properties of radio-frequency-dressed
potentials for Bose-Einstein condensates on atom chips. The three-dimensional
potential forms a connected pair of parallel waveguides. We show that
rf-dressed potentials are robust against the effect of small magnetic-field
variations on the trap potential. Long-lived dipole oscillations of condensates
induced in the rf-dressed potentials can be tuned to a remarkably low damping
rate. We study a beam-splitter for Bose-Einstein condensates and show that a
propagating condensate can be dynamically split in two vertically separated
parts and guided along two paths. The effect of gravity on the potential can be
tuned and compensated for using a rf-field gradient.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figure
Spatially encoded light for Large-alphabet Quantum Key Distribution
Most Quantum Key Distribution protocols use a two-dimensional basis such as
HV polarization as first proposed by Bennett and Brassard in 1984. These
protocols are consequently limited to a key generation density of 1 bit per
photon. We increase this key density by encoding information in the transverse
spatial displacement of the used photons. Employing this higher-dimensional
Hilbert space together with modern single-photon-detecting cameras, we
demonstrate a proof-of-principle large-alphabet Quantum Key Distribution
experiment with 1024 symbols and a shared information between sender and
receiver of 7 bit per photon.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figures, Added references, Updated Fig. 1 in the main
