    Space Charge Modelling in Solid Dielectrics under High Electric Field Based on Double Charge Injection Model

    No full text
    Present study aims to develop a clear insight on factors that influence space charge dynamics in solid dielectrics through a numerical simulation. The model used for the simulation is proposed by Alison and Hill [1] which describes charge dynamics as a result of bipolar transport with single level trapping. In this model, a constant mobility and no detrapping have been assumed. The simulation results show that carrier mobility, trapping coefficient and Schottky barrier have a significant effect on the space charge dynamics. Many features of space charge profiles observed by experiments have been revealed in despite of over simplistic model. More importantly, the simulation allows us to study the role of each individual parameter in the formation of space charge in solid dielectrics, so that the experimental results can be better understood

    Balanced metrics on Hartogs domains

    Full text link
    An n-dimensional strictly pseudoconvex Hartogs domain D_F can be equipped with a natural Kaehler metric g_F. In this paper we prove that if m_0g_F is balanced for a given positive integer m_0 then m_0>n and (D_F, g_F) is holomorphically isometric to an open subset of the n-dimensional complex hyperbolic space.Comment: 9 page

    Algebraic Rainich conditions for the tensor V

    Full text link
    Algebraic conditions on the Ricci tensor in the Rainich-Misner-Wheeler unified field theory are known as the Rainich conditions. Penrose and more recently Bergqvist and Lankinen made an analogy from the Ricci tensor to the Bel-Robinson tensor BαβμνB_{\alpha\beta\mu\nu}, a certain fourth rank tensor quadratic in the Weyl curvature, which also satisfies algebraic Rainich-like conditions. However, we found that not only does the tensor BαβμνB_{\alpha\beta\mu\nu} fulfill these conditions, but so also does our recently proposed tensor VαβμνV_{\alpha\beta\mu\nu}, which has many of the desirable properties of BαβμνB_{\alpha\beta\mu\nu}. For the quasilocal small sphere limit restriction, we found that there are only two fourth rank tensors BαβμνB_{\alpha\beta\mu\nu} and VαβμνV_{\alpha\beta\mu\nu} which form a basis for good energy expressions. Both of them have the completely trace free and causal properties, these two form necessary and sufficient conditions. Surprisingly either completely traceless or causal is enough to fulfill the algebraic Rainich conditions. Furthermore, relaxing the quasilocal restriction and considering the general fourth rank tensor, we found two remarkable results: (i) without any symmetry requirement, the algebraic Rainich conditions only require totally trace free; (ii) with a symmetry requirement, we recovered the same result as in the quasilocal small sphere limit.Comment: 17 page

    Probability over Płonka sums of Boolean algebras: States, metrics and topology

    Get PDF
    The paper introduces the notion of state for involutive bisemilattices, a variety which plays the role of algebraic counterpart of weak Kleene logics and whose elements are represented as Płonka sums of Boolean algebras. We investigate the relations between states over an involutive bisemilattice and probability measures over the (Boolean) algebras in the Płonka sum representation and, the direct limit of these algebras. Moreover, we study the metric completion of involutive bisemilattices, as pseudometric spaces, and the topology induced by the pseudometric

    Limit Analysis of Strain Softening Frames Allowing for Geometric Nonlinearity

    Get PDF
    This paper extends classical limit analysis to account for strain softening and 2nd-order geometric nonlinearity simultaneously. The formulation is an instance of the challenging class of socalled (nonconvex) mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints (MPECs). A penalty algorithm is proposed to solve the MPEC. A practical frame example is provided to illustrate the approach

    Balanced metrics on Cartan and Cartan-Hartogs domains

    Get PDF
    This paper consists of two results dealing with balanced metrics (in S. Donaldson terminology) on nonconpact complex manifolds. In the first one we describe all balanced metrics on Cartan domains. In the second one we show that the only Cartan-Hartogs domain which admits a balanced metric is the complex hyperbolic space. By combining these results with those obtained in [13] (Kaehler-Einstein submanifolds of the infinite dimensional projective space, to appear in Mathematische Annalen) we also provide the first example of complete, Kaehler-Einstein and projectively induced metric g such that αg\alpha g is not balanced for all α>0\alpha >0.Comment: 11 page

    Balanced metrics on homogeneous vector bundles

    Full text link
    Let EME\rightarrow M be a holomorphic vector bundle over a compact Kaehler manifold (M,ω)(M, \omega) and let E=E1...EmME=E_1\oplus... \oplus E_m\rightarrow M be its decomposition into irreducible factors. Suppose that each EjE_j admits a ω\omega-balanced metric in Donaldson-Wang terminology. In this paper we prove that EE admits a unique ω\omega-balanced metric if and only if rjNj=rkNk\frac{r_j}{N_j}=\frac{r_k}{N_k} for all j,k=1,...,mj, k=1, ..., m, where rjr_j denotes the rank of EjE_j and Nj=dimH0(M,Ej)N_j=\dim H^0(M, E_j). We apply our result to the case of homogeneous vector bundles over a rational homogeneous variety (M,ω)(M, \omega) and we show the existence and rigidity of balanced Kaehler embedding from (M,ω)(M, \omega) into Grassmannians.Comment: 5 page
