Intense terahertz laser fields on a quantum dot with Rashba spin-orbit coupling
We investigate the effects of the intense terahertz laser field and the
spin-orbit coupling on single electron spin in a quantum dot. The laser field
and the spin-orbit coupling can strongly affect the electron density of states
and can excite a magnetic moment.
The direction of the magnetic moment depends on the symmetries of the system,
and its amplitude can be tuned by the strength and frequency of the laser field
as well as the spin-orbit coupling.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, to be published in J. Appl. Phy
Coverage Performance Analysis of FeICIC Low Power Subframes
Although the Almost Blank Subframes (ABSF) proposed in heterogeneous cellular networks can enhance the performance of the Cell Range Expansion (CRE) User Equipments (UEs), it significantly degrades macro-cell total throughput. To address this problem, the Low Power Subframes (LPSF) are encouraged to be applied in macro-cell center region by the Further-enhanced Inter-cell Interference Coordination (FeICIC). However, the residual power of the LPSF which interferes the CRE UEs, and the proportion of the LPSF affect the downlink throughput together. To achieve a better rate coverage probability, appropriate LPSF power and proportion are required. In this paper, the analytical results of the overall Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR) coverage probability and the rate coverage probability are derived under the stochastic geometric framework. The optimal region bias ranges for maximizing the rate coverage probability are also analysed. The results show that the ABSF still outperform the LPSF in terms of rate with the optimal range expansion bias, but lead to a heavier burden on the back-haul of the pico-cell. However, with a static range expansion bias, the LPSF provide better rate coverage than the ABSF. Also, in a low range expansion scenario, the reduced power of the LPSF has negligible effect on the rate coverage with the optimal resource partitioning
Multi-wavelength variability properties of Fermi blazar S5 0716+714
S5 0716+714 is a typical BL Lacertae object. In this paper we present the
analysis and results of long term simultaneous observations in the radio,
near-infrared, optical, X-ray and -ray bands, together with our own
photometric observations for this source. The light curves show that the
variability amplitudes in -ray and optical bands are larger than those
in the hard X-ray and radio bands and that the spectral energy distribution
(SED) peaks move to shorter wavelengths when the source becomes brighter, which
are similar to other blazars, i.e., more variable at wavelengths shorter than
the SED peak frequencies. Analysis shows that the characteristic variability
timescales in the 14.5 GHz, the optical, the X-ray, and the -ray bands
are comparable to each other. The variations of the hard X-ray and 14.5 GHz
emissions are correlated with zero-lag, so are the V band and -ray
variations, which are consistent with the leptonic models. Coincidences of
-ray and optical flares with a dramatic change of the optical
polarization are detected. Hadronic models do not have the same nature
explanation for these observations as the leptonic models. A strong optical
flare correlating a -ray flare whose peak flux is lower than the
average flux is detected. Leptonic model can explain this variability
phenomenon through simultaneous SED modeling. Different leptonic models are
distinguished by average SED modeling. The synchrotron plus synchrotron
self-Compton (SSC) model is ruled out due to the extreme input parameters.
Scattering of external seed photons, such as the hot dust or broad line region
emission, and the SSC process are probably both needed to explain the
-ray emission of S5 0716+714.Comment: 43 pages, 13 figures, 3 tables, to be appeared in Ap
Phase diagram of the frustrated, spatially anisotropic S=1 antiferromagnet on a square lattice
We study the S=1 square lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet with spatially
anisotropic nearest neighbor couplings , frustrated by a
next-nearest neighbor coupling numerically using the density-matrix
renormalization group (DMRG) method and analytically employing the
Schwinger-Boson mean-field theory (SBMFT). Up to relatively strong values of
the anisotropy, within both methods we find quantum fluctuations to stabilize
the N\'{e}el ordered state above the classically stable region. Whereas SBMFT
suggests a fluctuation-induced first order transition between the N\'{e}el
state and a stripe antiferromagnet for and an
intermediate paramagnetic region opening only for very strong anisotropy, the
DMRG results clearly demonstrate that the two magnetically ordered phases are
separated by a quantum disordered region for all values of the anisotropy with
the remarkable implication that the quantum paramagnetic phase of the spatially
isotropic - model is continuously connected to the limit of
decoupled Haldane spin chains. Our findings indicate that for S=1 quantum
fluctuations in strongly frustrated antiferromagnets are crucial and not
correctly treated on the semiclassical level.Comment: 10 pages, 10 figure
Bethe-Salpeter equation for doubly heavy baryons in the covariant instantaneous approximation
In the heavy quark limit, a doubly heavy baryon is regarded as composed of a
heavy diquark and a light quark. We establish the Bethe-Salpeter (BS) equations
for the heavy diquarks and the doubly heavy baryons, respectively, to leading
order in a expansion. The BS equations are solved numerically under
the covariant instantaneous approximation with the kernels containing scalar
confinement and one-gluon-exchange terms. The masses for the heavy diquarks and
the doubly heavy baryons are obtained and the non-leptonic decay widths for the
doubly heavy baryons emitting a pseudo-scalar meson are calculated within the
model.Comment: Corrections to the text, two references added, version accepted for

First principles investigation of transition-metal doped group-IV semiconductors: RY (R=Cr, Mn, Fe; Y=Si, Ge)
A number of transition-metal (TM) doped group-IV semiconductors,
RY (R=Cr, Mn and Fe; Y=Si, Ge), have been studied by the first
principles calculations. The obtained results show that antiferromagnetic (AFM)
order is energetically more favored than ferromagnetic (FM) order in Cr-doped
Ge and Si with =0.03125 and 0.0625. In 6.25% Fe-doped Ge, FM interaction
dominates in all range of the R-R distances while for Fe-doped Ge at 3.125% and
Fe-doped Si at both concentrations of 3.125% and 6.25%, only in a short R-R
range can the FM states exist. In the Mn-doped case, the RKKY-like mechanism
seems to be suitable for the Ge host matrix, while for the Mn-doped Si, the
short-range AFM interaction competes with the long-range FM interaction. The
different origin of the magnetic orders in these diluted magnetic
semiconductors (DMSs) makes the microscopic mechanism of the ferromagnetism in
the DMSs more complex and attractive.Comment: 14 pages, 2 figures, 6 table
Effect of Ce on stainless steel performance during electroslag remelting (ESR)
Three electroslag remelting heats were carried out by using a 1-ton argon atmosphere ESR furnace under three kinds of slag containing different Ce2O3 content. Specimens were taken at electrode and each ingot for analyzing the inclusions by scanning electron microscope - energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS). After heat treatment, the tensile and impact of each steel product was measured to study the effect of Ce content on steel performance.The results show that the non-metallic inclusions content was largely reduced in each ingot compared with that in electrode, and the ingot containing 0,05 % Ce has the best steel cleanliness and performance, while the ingot containing 0,13 % Ce has the worst steel cleanliness and performance
