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. Comments and suggestions are

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
