Elastic Spin Hall effect in Mechanical Graphene
We show that spin-orbit interaction and elastic spin-Hall effect can exist in
a classical mechanical system consisting of a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice
of masses and springs. The band structure shows the presence of splitting at K
point induced by the difference of longitudinal and transverse elastic
constant, and this splitting can be regarded as an effective Dresselhaus-type
spin-orbit coupling. Interestingly, as an initial displacement away from the
equilibrium is applied, the time evolution simulation shows that waves of
different spin polarization propagates along different directions at the Gamma
and K point, which is characteristic of spin-Hall effect. Several cases for
spin-Hall effect are also discussed.Comment: 15 pages, 5 figures, and 3395 word
Correlation evolution and monogamy of two geometric quantum discords in multipartite systems
We explore two different geometric quantum discords defined respectively via
the trace norm (GQD-1) and Hilbert-Schmidt norm (GQD-2) in multipartite
systems. A rigorous hierarchy relation is revealed for the two GQDs in a class
of symmetric two-qubit -shape states. For multiqubit pure states, it is
found that both GQDs are related to the entanglement concurrence, with the
hierarchy relation being saturated. Furthermore, we look into a four-partite
dynamical system consisting of two cavities interacting with independent
reservoirs. It is found that the GQD-2 can exhibit various sudden change
behaviours, while the GQD-1 only evolves asymptotically, with the two GQDs
exhibiting different monogamous properties.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
The sizes of BLRs and BH masses of double-peaked broad low-ionization emission line objects
In this paper, the sizes of the BLRs and BH masses of DouBle-Peaked broad
low-ionization emission line emitters (dbp emitters) are compared using
different methods: virial BH masses vs BH masses from stellar velocity
dispersions, the size of BLRs from the continuum luminosity vs the size of BLRs
from the accretion disk model. First, the virial BH masses of dbp emitters
estimated by the continumm luminosity and line width of broad H are
about six times (a much larger value, if including another dbp emitters, of
which the stellar velocity dispersions are traced by the line widths of narrow
emission lines) larger than the BH masses estimated from the relation which is a more accurate relation to estimate BH masses. Second, the
sizes of the BLRs of dbp emitters estimated by the empirical relation of
are about three times (a much larger value, if
including another dbp emitters, of which the stellar velocity dispersions are
traced by the line widths of narrow emission lines) larger than the mean
flux-weighted sizes of BLRs of dbp emitters estimated by the accretion disk
model. The higher electron density of BLRs of dbp emitters would be the main
reason which leads to smaller size of BLRs than the predicted value from the
continuum luminosity.Comment: 7 pages, two figures and one table. Accepted by MNRA
