Magnetic properties of a disordered Heisenberg binary spin system with long-range exchange
The influence of substitutional disorder on the magnetic properties of
disordered Heisenberg binary spin systems with long-range exchange integrals is
studied. The equation of motion for the magnon Green's function which is
decoupled by the Tyablikov approximation is solved in the
Blackman-Esterling-Berk(BEB) coherent potential approximation(CPA) framework,
where the environmental disorder term is treated by virtual crystal
approximation. The long-range exchange integrals include a power-law decaying
and an oscillating Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida(RKKY) exchange interaction.
The resulting spectral density, which is calculated by CPA self-consistent
equation, is then used to estimate the magnetization and Curie temperature. The
results show, in the case of the three-dimensional simple cubic systems, a
strong influence of ferromagnetic long-range exchange integrals on the
magnetization and Curie temperature of the systems, which is obviously
different from the calculation of short-range interaction.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, to be accepted by PR
Measuring dynamic oil film coefficients of sliding bearing
A method is presented for determining the dynamic coefficients of bearing oil film. By varying the support stiffness and damping, eight dynamic coefficients of the bearing were determined. Simple and easy to apply, the method can be used in solving practical machine problems

Large oscillating non-local voltage in multi-terminal single wall carbon nanotube devices
We report on the observation of a non-local voltage in a ballistic
one-dimensional conductor, realized by a single-wall carbon nanotube with four
contacts. The contacts divide the tube into three quantum dots which we control
by the back-gate voltage . We measure a large \emph{oscillating} non-local
voltage as a function of with zero mean. Though a classical
resistor model can account for a non-local voltage including change of sign, it
fails to describe the magnitude properly. The large amplitude of is
due to quantum interference effects and can be understood within the
scattering-approach of electron transport
Temperature Effects on Threshold Counterion Concentration to Induce Aggregation of fd Virus
We seek to determine the mechanism of like-charge attraction by measuring the
temperature dependence of critical divalent counterion concentration
() for the aggregation of fd viruses. We find that an increase in
temperature causes to decrease, primarily due to a decrease in the
dielectric constant () of the solvent. At a constant ,
is found to increase as the temperature increases. The effects of
and on can be combined to that of one parameter:
Bjerrum length (). decreases exponentially as
increases, suggesting that entropic effect of counterions plays an important
role at the onset of bundle formation.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figure
Foreign patents surge and technology spillovers in China (1985-2009): evidence from the patent and trade markets
The paper investigates the determinants of foreign patent surge and the effects of technology spillovers in China based on an industry-level sample of 19 countries and regions from 1985 to 2009. We explore two hypotheses to explain the increasing foreign propensity to patent and the effects of technology spillovers in China, the market covering hypotheses and competitive threat hypotheses. The results show strong support for the competitive threat hypothesis. However, the foreign patenting surge in China does not mean China has more access to outsource advanced technology; on the contrary the technology spillover from foreign countries in China is limited.
