    Statistically study the optimal local sources for cosmic ray nuclei and electron

    The local sources, such as Geminga SNR, may play important role for the anomaly of proton, electron and anisotropy in the past works. In fact, there exists twelve SNRs around solar system within 11 kpc. One question is that can other SNRs also possibly contribute the spectra of nuclei and electron and explain the special structure of anisotropy? In this work, under the spatial-dependent propagation, we systematically study the contribution of all local SNRs within 1 kpc around solar to the spectra of nuclei and electron, as well as the energy dependence of anisotropy. As a result, only Geminga, Monogem, and Vela SNRs have quantitive contribution to the nuclei and electron spectra and anisotropy. Here, Geminga SNR is the sole optimal candidate and Monogem SNR is controversial due to the tension of anisotropy between model calculation and observations. The Vela SNR contributes a new spectral structure beyond TeV energy, hinted by HESS, VERITAS, DAMPE and CALET measurements. More interesting is that the electron anisotropy satisfies the Fermi-LAT limit below TeV energy, but rises greatly and reaches 10%10\% at several TeV. This new structure will shed new light to check our model. We hope that the new structure of electron spectrum and anisotropy can be observed by space-borne DAMPE and HERD and ground-based HAWC and LHAASO experiments in the near future.Comment: 11 pages, 8 figures, accepted by AP

    A new understanding of nuclei spectra properties with propagation model

    Full text link
    The AMS-02 experiment has observed new properties of primary cosmic rays (CRs) categorized into two groups: He-C-O-Fe and Ne-Mg-Si-S, which are independent of CR propagation. In this study, we investigate the unexpected properties of these nuclei using a spatial propagation model. All nuclei spectra are accurately reproduced and separated into primary and secondary contributions. Our findings include: 1. Primary CR spectra are identical. 2. Our calculations align with AMS-02 results for primary-dominated nuclei within a 10\% difference, but show significant discrepancies for the secondary-dominated nuclei. 3. The primary element abundance is presented for the first time. We anticipate that the DAMPE and future HERD experiments will provide observations of nuclei spectra above TeV energy.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figures. accepted by PR

    Objective. To examine the association of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in early pregnancy with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and adverse birth outcomes. Methods. In this retrospective cohort study including 2389 pregnant women, the medical records of 352 women diagnosed with PCOS were evaluated. Outcomes included GDM, preterm birth, low birth weight, macrosomia, and being small and large for gestational age. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine the association of the risk for GDM and adverse birth outcomes with PCOS after adjusting for confounders. Results. Women previously diagnosed with PCOS had a higher risk of GDM (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.55, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.14–2.09). A strong association was seen between PCOS and preterm birth (adjusted OR 1.69, 95% CI: 1.08–2.67). On stratified analysis, the adjusted OR for GDM among women with PCOS undergoing assisted reproductive technology was 1.44 (95% CI: 1.03–1.92) and among women with PCOS who conceived spontaneously was 1.60 (1.18–2.15). No increased risk for other adverse birth outcomes was observed. Conclusions. Women with PCOS were more likely to experience GDM and preterm birth

    Mobile defects as mediated states for charge-carrier trapping in metal halide perovskites quantum dots

    Full text link
    The migration motion of defects in metal halide perovskites quantum dots (MHPQDs) results in charge-carrier trapping become more complicated. We study two-step trapping mediated by mobile defects between the ground state of MHPQDs and a fixed-depth defect using a full-configuration defect method, where all possible trapping processes mediated by these mobile defects could be reproduced and the fastest channels among them are picked out. We find that these two-step trapping processes could keep more one order of magnitude faster than these direct ones as mobile defect with the appropriate localization strength, which implies that these indirect trapping should play the crucial rule to determine the non-radiative recombination losses. These results provide the significant explanation for studying non-radiation processes of carriers in the presence of the migration defects in recent experiments. Moreover, this model will be available to analyze some key performance related defects in electronic devices.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure

    Microscopic theory of Raman scattering for the rotational organic cation in metal halide perovskites

    Full text link
    A gap exists in microscopic understanding the dynamic properties of the rotational organic cation (ROC) in the inorganic framework of the metal halide perovskites (MHP) to date. Herein, we develop a microscopic theory of Raman scattering for the ROC in MHP based on the angular momentum of a ROC exchanging with that of the photon and phonon. We systematically present the selection rules for the angular momentum transfer among three lowest rotational levels. We find that the phonon angular momentum that arising from the inorganic framework and its specific values could be directly manifested by Stokes (or anti-Stokes) shift. Moreover, the initial orientation of the ROC and its preferentially rotational directions could be judged in Raman spectra. This study lays the theoretical foundation for the high-precision resolution and manipulation of molecular rotation immersed in many-body environment by Raman technique
