Complex Dynamics of Correlated Electrons in Molecular Double Ionization by an Ultrashort Intense Laser Pulse
With a semiclassical quasi-static model we achieve an insight into the
complex dynamics of two correlated electrons under the combined influence of a
two-center Coulomb potential and an intense laser field. The model calculation
is able to reproduce experimental data of nitrogen molecules for a wide range
of laser intensities from tunnelling to over-the-barrier regime, and predicts a
significant alignment effect on the ratio of double over single ion yield. The
classical trajectory analysis allows to unveil sub-cycle molecular double
ionization dynamics.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures. to appear in Phys. Rev. Lett.(2007
Negative Link Prediction in Social Media
Signed network analysis has attracted increasing attention in recent years.
This is in part because research on signed network analysis suggests that
negative links have added value in the analytical process. A major impediment
in their effective use is that most social media sites do not enable users to
specify them explicitly. In other words, a gap exists between the importance of
negative links and their availability in real data sets. Therefore, it is
natural to explore whether one can predict negative links automatically from
the commonly available social network data. In this paper, we investigate the
novel problem of negative link prediction with only positive links and
content-centric interactions in social media. We make a number of important
observations about negative links, and propose a principled framework NeLP,
which can exploit positive links and content-centric interactions to predict
negative links. Our experimental results on real-world social networks
demonstrate that the proposed NeLP framework can accurately predict negative
links with positive links and content-centric interactions. Our detailed
experiments also illustrate the relative importance of various factors to the
effectiveness of the proposed framework
Topological Quantum Phase Transition in Synthetic Non-Abelian Gauge Potential
The method of synthetic gauge potentials opens up a new avenue for our
understanding and discovering novel quantum states of matter. We investigate
the topological quantum phase transition of Fermi gases trapped in a honeycomb
lattice in the presence of a synthetic non- Abelian gauge potential. We develop
a systematic fermionic effective field theory to describe a topological quantum
phase transition tuned by the non-Abelian gauge potential and ex- plore its
various important experimental consequences. Numerical calculations on lattice
scales are performed to compare with the results achieved by the fermionic
effective field theory. Several possible experimental detection methods of
topological quantum phase tran- sition are proposed. In contrast to condensed
matter experiments where only gauge invariant quantities can be measured, both
gauge invariant and non-gauge invariant quantities can be measured by
experimentally generating various non-Abelian gauges corresponding to the same
set of Wilson loops
Phase diagram as a function of doping level and pressure in EuLaFeAs system
We establish the phase diagram of EuLaFeAs system as a
function of doping level x and the pressure by measuring the resistivity and
magnetic susceptibility. The pressure can suppress the spin density wave (SDW)
and structural transition very efficiently, while enhance the antiferromagnetic
(AFM) transition temperature T of Eu. The superconductivity coexists
with SDW order at the low pressure, while always coexists with the Eu
AFM order. The results suggests that Eu spin dynamics is disentangeld
with superconducting (SC) pairing taken place in the two-dimensional
\emph{Fe-As} plane, but it can strongly affect superconducting coherence along
c-axis
Resolving and Tuning Mechanical Anisotropy in Black Phosphorus via Nanomechanical Multimode Resonance Spectromicroscopy
Black phosphorus (P) has emerged as a layered semiconductor with a unique
crystal structure featuring corrugated atomic layers and strong in-plane
anisotropy in its physical properties. Here, we demonstrate that the crystal
orientation and mechanical anisotropy in free-standing black P thin layers can
be precisely determined by spatially resolved multimode nanomechanical
resonances. This offers a new means for resolving important crystal orientation
and anisotropy in black P device platforms in situ beyond conventional optical
and electrical calibration techniques. Furthermore, we show that
electrostatic-gating-induced straining can continuously tune the mechanical
anisotropic effects on multimode resonances in black P electromechanical
devices. Combined with finite element modeling (FEM), we also determine the
Young's moduli of multilayer black P to be 116.1 and 46.5 GPa in the zigzag and
armchair directions, respectively.Comment: Main Text: 13 Pages, 4 Figures; Supplementary Information: 5 Pages, 2
