Investigation of Micro Porosity Sintered wick in Vapor Chamber for Fan Less Design
Micro Porosity Sintered wick is made from metal injection molding processes,
which provides a wick density with micro scale. It can keep more than 53 %
working fluid inside the wick structure, and presents good pumping ability on
working fluid transmission by fine infiltrated effect. Capillary pumping
ability is the important factor in heat pipe design, and those general
applications on wick structure are manufactured with groove type or screen
type. Gravity affects capillary of these two types more than a sintered wick
structure does, and mass heat transfer through vaporized working fluid
determines the thermal performance of a vapor chamber. First of all, high
density of porous wick supports high transmission ability of working fluid. The
wick porosity is sintered in micro scale, which limits the bubble size while
working fluid vaporizing on vapor section. Maximum heat transfer capacity
increases dramatically as thermal resistance of wick decreases. This study on
permeability design of wick structure is 0.5 - 0.7, especially permeability (R)
= 0.5 can have the best performance, and its heat conductivity is 20 times to a
heat pipe with diameter (Phi) = 10mm. Test data of this vapor chamber shows
thermal performance increases over 33 %.Comment: Submitted on behalf of TIMA Editions

Zero-Bias Anomalies in Narrow Tunnel Junctions in the Quantum Hall Regime
We report on the study of cleaved-edge-overgrown line junctions with a
serendipitously created narrow opening in an otherwise thin, precise line
barrier. Two sets of zero-bias anomalies are observed with an enhanced
conductance for filling factors and a strongly suppressed conductance
for . A transition between the two behaviors is found near . The zero-bias anomaly (ZBA) line shapes find explanation in
Luttinger liquid models of tunneling between quantum Hall edge states. The ZBA
for occurs from strong backscattering induced by suppression of
quasiparticle tunneling between the edge channels for the Landau
levels. The ZBA for arises from weak tunneling of quasiparticles
between the edge channels.Comment: version with edits for clarit
Cascade of Quantum Phase Transitions in Tunnel-Coupled Edge States
We report on the cascade of quantum phase transitions exhibited by
tunnel-coupled edge states across a quantum Hall line junction. We identify a
series of quantum critical points between successive strong and weak tunneling
regimes in the zero-bias conductance. Scaling analysis shows that the
conductance near the critical magnetic fields is a function of a single
scaling argument , where the exponent .
This puzzling resemblance to a quantum Hall-insulator transition points to
importance of interedge correlation between the coupled edge states.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Spin resonance in the d-wave superconductor CeCoIn5
Neutron scattering is used to probe antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations in
the d-wave heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIn (T=2.3 K).
Superconductivity develops from a state with slow (=0.3 0.15
meV) commensurate (=(1/2,1/2,1/2)) antiferromagnetic spin
fluctuations and nearly isotropic spin correlations. The characteristic
wavevector in CeCoIn is the same as CeIn but differs from the
incommensurate wavevector measured in antiferromagnetically ordered
CeRhIn. A sharp spin resonance ( meV) at
= 0.60 0.03 meV develops in the superconducting state removing spectral
weight from low-energy transfers. The presence of a resonance peak is
indicative of strong coupling between f-electron magnetism and
superconductivity and consistent with a d-wave gap order parameter satisfying

Quantum Hall Ferromagnetism in a Two-Dimensional Electron System
Experiments on a nearly spin degenerate two-dimensional electron system
reveals unusual hysteretic and relaxational transport in the fractional quantum
Hall effect regime. The transition between the spin-polarized (with fill
fraction ) and spin-unpolarized () states is accompanied
by a complicated series of hysteresis loops reminiscent of a classical
ferromagnet. In correlation with the hysteresis, magnetoresistance can either
grow or decay logarithmically in time with remarkable persistence and does not
saturate. In contrast to the established models of relaxation, the relaxation
rate exhibits an anomalous divergence as temperature is reduced. These results
indicate the presence of novel two-dimensional ferromagnetism with a
complicated magnetic domain dynamic.Comment: 15 pages, 5 figure
Separable states and the geometric phases of an interacting two-spin system
It is known that an interacting bipartite system evolves as an entangled
state in general, even if it is initially in a separable state. Due to the
entanglement of the state, the geometric phase of the system is not equal to
the sum of the geometric phases of its two subsystems. However, there may exist
a set of states in which the nonlocal interaction does not affect the
separability of the states, and the geometric phase of the bipartite system is
then always equal to the sum of the geometric phases of its subsystems. In this
paper, we illustrate this point by investigating a well known physical model.
We give a necessary and sufficient condition in which a separable state remains
separable so that the geometric phase of the system is always equal to the sum
of the geometric phases of its subsystems.Comment: 13 page
From incommensurate correlations to mesoscopic spin resonance in YbRh2Si2
Spin fluctuations are reported near the magnetic field driven quantum
critical point in YbRh2Si2. On cooling, ferromagnetic fluctuations evolve into
incommensurate correlations located at q0=+/- (delta,delta) with delta=0.14 +/-
0.04 r.l.u. At low temperatures, an in plane magnetic field induces a sharp
intra doublet resonant excitation at an energy E0=g muB mu0 H with g=3.8 +/-
0.2. The intensity is localized at the zone center indicating precession of
spin density extending xi=6 +/- 2 A beyond the 4f site.Comment: (main text - 4 pages, 4 figures; supplementary information - 3 pages,

Observation of simultaneous fast and slow light
We present a microresonator-based system capable of simultaneously producing
time-advanced and time-delayed pulses. The effect is based on the combination
of a sharp spectral feature with two orthogonally-polarized propagating
waveguide modes. We include an experimental proof-of-concept implementation
using a silica microsphere coupled to a tapered optical fiber and use a
time-domain picture to interpret the observed delays. We also discuss potential
applications for future all-optical networks.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
