    Magnetoresistance from Fermi Surface Topology

    Get PDF
    Extremely large non-saturating magnetoresistance has recently been reported for a large number of both topologically trivial and non-trivial materials. Different mechanisms have been proposed to explain the observed magnetotransport properties, yet without arriving to definitive conclusions or portraying a global picture. In this work, we investigate the transverse magnetoresistance of materials by combining the Fermi surfaces calculated from first principles with the Boltzmann transport theory approach relying on the semiclassical model and the relaxation time approximation. We first consider a series of simple model Fermi surfaces to provide a didactic introduction into the charge-carrier compensation and open-orbit mechanisms leading to non-saturating magnetoresistance. We then address in detail magnetotransport in three representative materials: (i) copper, a prototypical nearly free-electron metal characterized by the open Fermi surface that results in an intricate angular magnetoresistance, (ii) bismuth, a topologically trivial semimetal in which very large magnetoresistance is known to result from charge-carrier compensation, and (iii) tungsten diphosphide WP2, a recently discovered type-II Weyl semimetal that holds the record of magnetoresistance in compounds. In all three cases our calculations show excellent agreement with both the field dependence of magnetoresistance and its anisotropy measured at low temperatures. Furthermore, the calculations allow for a full interpretation of the observed features in terms of the Fermi surface topology. These results will help addressing a number of outstanding questions, such as the role of the topological phase in the pronounced large non-saturating magnetoresistance observed in topological materials.Comment: 13 pages, 9 figure

    Three-dimensional numerical study of flow characteristic and membrane fouling evolution in an enzymatic membrane reactor

    Full text link
    In order to enhance the understanding of membrane fouling mechanism, the hydrodynamics of granular flow in a stirred enzymatic membrane reactor was numerically investigated in the present study. A three-dimensional Euler-Euler model, coupled with k-e mixture turbulence model and drag function for interphase momentum exchange, was applied to simulate the two-phase (fluid-solid) turbulent flow. Numerical simulations of single- or two-phase turbulent flow under various stirring speed were implemented. The numerical results coincide very well with some published experimental data. Results for the distributions of velocity, shear stress and turbulent kinetic energy were provided. Our results show that the increase of stirring speed could not only enlarge the circulation loops in the reactor, but it can also increase the shear stress on the membrane surface and accelerate the mixing process of granular materials. The time evolution of volumetric function of granular materials on the membrane surface has qualitatively explained the evolution of membrane fouling.Comment: 10 panges, 8 figure

    Random Entity Quantization for Parameter-Efficient Compositional Knowledge Graph Representation

    Full text link
    Representation Learning on Knowledge Graphs (KGs) is essential for downstream tasks. The dominant approach, KG Embedding (KGE), represents entities with independent vectors and faces the scalability challenge. Recent studies propose an alternative way for parameter efficiency, which represents entities by composing entity-corresponding codewords matched from predefined small-scale codebooks. We refer to the process of obtaining corresponding codewords of each entity as entity quantization, for which previous works have designed complicated strategies. Surprisingly, this paper shows that simple random entity quantization can achieve similar results to current strategies. We analyze this phenomenon and reveal that entity codes, the quantization outcomes for expressing entities, have higher entropy at the code level and Jaccard distance at the codeword level under random entity quantization. Therefore, different entities become more easily distinguished, facilitating effective KG representation. The above results show that current quantization strategies are not critical for KG representation, and there is still room for improvement in entity distinguishability beyond current strategies.

    Visualization of all two-qubit states via partial-transpose-moments

    Full text link
    Efficiently detecting entanglement based on measurable quantities is a basic problem for quantum information processing. Recently, the measurable quantities called partial-transpose (PT)-moments have been proposed to detect and characterize entanglement. In the recently published paper [L. Zhang \emph{et al.}, \href{https://doi.org/10.1002/andp.202200289}{Ann. Phys.(Berlin) \textbf{534}, 2200289 (2022)}], we have already identified the 2-dimensional (2D) region, comprised of the second and third PT-moments, corresponding to two-qubit entangled states, and described the whole region for all two-qubit states. In the present paper, we visualize the 3D region corresponding to all two-qubit states by further involving the fourth PT-moment (the last one for two-qubit states). The characterization of this 3D region can finally be achieved by optimizing some polynomials. Furthermore, we identify the dividing surface which separates the two parts of the whole 3D region corresponding to entangled and separable states respectively. Due to the measurability of PT-moments, we obtain a complete and operational criterion for the detection of two-qubit entanglement.Comment: 29 pages, LaTeX, 8 figures, 2 table
