    Analytical smoothing effect of solution for the boussinesq equations

    Full text link
    In this paper, we study the analytical smoothing effect of Cauchy problem for the incompressible Boussinesq equations. Precisely, we use the Fourier method to prove that the Sobolev H 1-solution to the incompressible Boussinesq equations in periodic domain is analytic for any positive time. So the incompressible Boussinesq equation admet exactly same smoothing effect properties of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations

    Intense terahertz laser fields on a two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling

    Full text link
    The spin-dependent density of states and the density of spin polarization of an InAs-based two-dimensional electron gas with the Rashba spin-orbit coupling under an intense terahertz laser field are investigated by utilizing the Floquet states to solve the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation. It is found that both densities are strongly affected by the terahertz laser field. Especially a terahertz magnetic moment perpendicular to the external terahertz laser field in the electron gas is induced. This effect can be used to convert terahertz electric signals into terahertz magnetic ones efficiently.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures, a typo in Fig. 3(b) is correcte

    Solar flare hard X-ray spikes observed by RHESSI: a case study

    Full text link
    In this paper, we analyze hard X-ray spikes observed by RHESSI to understand their temporal, spectral, and spatial properties. A recently developed demodulation code was applied to hard X-ray light curves in several energy bands observed by RHESSI. Hard X-ray spikes were selected from the demodulated flare light curves. We measured the spike duration, the energy-dependent time delay, and count spectral index of these spikes. We also located the hard X-ray source emitting these spikes from RHESSI mapping that was coordinated with imaging observations in visible and UV wavelengths. We identify quickly varying structures of <1 s during the rise of hard X-rays in five flares. These hard X-ray spikes can be observed at photon energies over 100 keV. They exhibit sharp rise and decay with a duration (FWHM) of less than 1 s. Energy-dependent time lags are present in some spikes. It is seen that the spikes exhibit harder spectra than underlying components, typically by 0.5 in the spectral index when they are fitted to power-law distributions. RHESSI clean maps at 25-100 keV with an integration of 2 s centered on the peak of the spikes suggest that hard X-ray spikes are primarily emitted by double foot-point sources in magnetic fields of opposite polarities. With the RHESSI mapping resolution of ~ 4 arsec, the hard X-ray spike maps do not exhibit detectable difference in the spatial structure from sources emitting underlying components. Coordinated high-resolution imaging UV and infrared observations confirm that hard X-ray spikes are produced in magnetic structures embedded in the same magnetic environment of the underlying components. The coordinated high-cadence TRACE UV observations of one event possibly reveal new structures on spatial scales <1-2 arsec at the time of the spike superposed on the underlying component. They are probably sources of hard X-ray spikes.Comment: 20 pages, 11 figure

    Reconstruction of 5D5D Cosmological Models From Equation of State of Dark Energy

    Full text link
    We consider a class of five-dimensional cosmological solutions which contains two arbitrary function μ(t)\mu(t) and ν(t)\nu(t). We found that the arbitrary function μ(t)\mu(t) contained in the solutions can be rewritten in terms of the redshift zz as a new arbitrary function f(z)f(z). We further showed that this new arbitrary function f(z)f(z) could be solved out for four known parameterized equations of state of dark energy. Then the 5D5D models can be reconstructed and the evolution of the density and deceleration parameters of the universe can be determined.Comment: 10 pages, 4 eps figures, ws-ijmpd.cls styl

    Viscous Effects on Elliptic Flow and Shock Waves

    Full text link
    Fast thermalization and a strong buildup of elliptic flow of QCD matter as found at RHIC are understood as the consequence of perturbative QCD (pQCD) interactions within the 3+1 dimensional parton cascade BAMPS. The main contributions stem from pQCD bremsstrahlung 2↔32 \leftrightarrow 3 processes. By comparing to Au+Au data of the flow parameter v2v_2 as a function of participation number the shear viscosity to entropy ratio is dynamically extracted, which lies in the range of 0.08 and 0.2, depending on the chosen coupling constant and freeze out condition. Furthermore, first simulations on the temporal propagation of dissipative shock waves are given. The cascade can either simulate true ideal shocks as well as initially diluted, truely viscous shocks, depending on the employed cross sections or mean free path, respectively.Comment: 7 pages, 8 figures, to appear in the proceedings of the 2008 Erice School on Nuclear Physics, Sicil

    Unified nonequilibrium dynamical theory for exchange bias and training effects

    Full text link
    We investigate the exchange bias and training effects in the FM/AF heterostructures using a unified Monte Carlo dynamical approach. This real dynamical method has been proved reliable and effective in simulating dynamical magnetization of nanoscale magnetic systems. The magnetization of the uncompensated AF layer is still open after the first field cycling is finished. Our simulated results show obvious shift of hysteresis loops (exchange bias) and cycling dependence of exchange bias (training effect) when the temperature is below 45 K. The exchange bias fields decrease with decreasing the cooling rate or increasing the temperature and the number of the field cycling. With the simulations, we show the exchange bias can be manipulated by controlling the cooling rate, the distributive width of the anisotropy energy, or the magnetic coupling constants. Essentially, these two effects can be explained on the basis of the microscopical coexistence of both reversible and irreversible moment reversals of the AF domains. Our simulated results are useful to really understand the magnetization dynamics of such magnetic heterostructures. This unified nonequilibrium dynamical method should be applicable to other exchange bias systems.Comment: Chin. Phys. B, in pres
