Walks on weighted networks

We investigate the dynamics of random walks on weighted networks. Assuming that the edge's weight and the node's strength are used as local information by a random walker, we study two kinds of walks, weight-dependent walk and strength-dependent walk. Exact expressions for stationary distribution and average return time are derived and confirmed by computer simulations. We calculate the distribution of average return time and the mean-square displacement for two walks on the BBV networks, and find that a weight-dependent walker can arrive at a new territory more easily than a strength-dependent one.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures. minor modifications.

Oscillation of spin polarization in a two-dimensional hole gas under a perpendicular magnetic field

Spin-charge coupling is studied for a strongly confined two-dimensional hole gas subject to a perpendicular magnetic field. The study is based on spin-charge coupled drift-diffusion equations derived from quantum-kinetic equations in an exact manner. The spin-orbit interaction induces an extra out-of-plane spin polarization. This contribution exhibits a persistent oscillatory pattern in the strong-coupling regime.Comment: 11 pages and 1 figur

All-Optical Ultrafast Control and Read-Out of a Single Negatively Charged Self-Assembled InAs Quantum Dot

We demonstrate the all-optical ultrafast manipulation and read-out of optical transitions in a single negatively charged self-assembled InAs quantum dot, an important step towards ultrafast control of the resident spin. Experiments performed at zero magnetic field show the excitation and decay of the trion (negatively charged exciton) as well as Rabi oscillations between the electron and trion states. Application of a DC magnetic field perpendicular to the growth axis of the dot enables observation of a complex quantum beat structure produced by independent precession of the ground state electron and the excited state heavy hole spins

Hawking Radiation of an Arbitrarily Accelerating Kinnersley Black Hole: Spin-Acceleration Coupling Effect

The Hawking radiation of Weyl neutrinos in an arbitrarily accelerating Kinnersley black hole is investigated by using a method of the generalized tortoise coordinate transformation. Both the location and temperature of the event horizon depend on the time and on the angles. They coincide with previous results, but the thermal radiation spectrum of massless spinor particles displays a kind of spin-acceleration coupling effect.Comment: 8 pages, no figure, revtex 4.0, revisted version with typesetting errors and misprint correcte
