Experiment and theoretical study of the propagation of high power microwave pulse in air breakdown environment
In the study of the propagation of high power microwave pulse, one of the main concerns is how to minimize the energy loss of the pulse before reaching the destination. In the very high power region, one has to prevent the cutoff reflection caused by the excessive ionization in the background air. A frequency auto-conversion process which can lead to reflectionless propagation of powerful EM pulses in self-generated plasmas is studied. The theory shows that under the proper conditions the carrier frequency, omega, of the pulse will indeed shift upward with the growth of plasma frequency, omega(sub pe). Thus, the plasma during breakdown will always remain transparent to the pulse (i.e., omega greater than omega(sub pe)). A chamber experiment to demonstrate the frequency auto-conversion during the pulse propagation through the self-generated plasma is then conducted in a chamber. The detected frequency shift is compared with the theoretical result calculated y using the measured electron density distribution along the propagation path of the pulse. Good agreement between the theory and the experiment results is obtained
The -log-convexity of Domb's polynomials
In this paper, we prove the -log-convexity of Domb's polynomials, which
was conjectured by Sun in the study of Ramanujan-Sato type series for powers of
. As a result, we obtain the log-convexity of Domb's numbers. Our proof is
based on the -log-convexity of Narayana polynomials of type and a
criterion for determining -log-convexity of self-reciprocal polynomials.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1308.273
On the -log-convexity conjecture of Sun
In his study of Ramanujan-Sato type series for , Sun introduced a
sequence of polynomials as given by
and he conjectured that the polynomials are -log-convex. By
imitating a result of Liu and Wang on generating new -log-convex sequences
of polynomials from old ones, we obtain a sufficient condition for determining
the -log-convexity of self-reciprocal polynomials. Based on this criterion,
we then give an affirmative answer to Sun's conjecture
Electronic states and pairing symmetry in the two-dimensional 16 band d-p model for iron-based superconductor
The electronic states of the FeAs plane in iron-based superconductors are
investigated on the basis of the two-dimensional 16-band d-p model, where the
tight-binding parameters are determined so as to fit the band structure
obtained by the density functional calculation for LaFeAsO. The model includes
the Coulomb interaction on a Fe site: the intra- and inter-orbital direct terms
U and U', the exchange coupling J and the pair-transfer J'. Within the random
phase approximation (RPA), we discuss the pairing symmetry of possible
superconducting states including s-wave and d-wave pairing on the U'-J plane.Comment: 2 pages, 4 figures; Proceedings of the Int. Symposium on

Origin of Tc Enhancement Induced by Doping Yttrium and Hydrogen into LaFeAsO-based Superconductors: 57Fe, 75As, 139La, and 1H-NMR Studies
We report our extensive 57Fe-, 75As-, 139La-, and 1H-NMR studies of
La_{0.8}Y_{0.2}FeAsO_{1-y} (La_{0.8}Y_{0.2}1111) and
LaFeAsO_{1-y}H_{x}(La1111H), where doping yttrium (Y) and hydrogen (H) into
optimally doped LaFeAsO_{1-y} (La1111(OPT)) increases T_c=28 K to 34 and 32 K,
respectively. In the superconducting (SC) state, the measurements of
nuclear-spin lattice-relaxation rate 1/T_1 have revealed in terms of a multiple
fully gapped s_\pm-wave model that the SC gap and T_c in La_{0.8}Y_{0.2}1111
become larger than those in La1111(OPT) without any change in doping level. In
La1111H, the SC gap and T_c also increase slightly even though a decrease in
carrier density and some disorders are significantly introduced. As a
consequence, we suggest that the optimization of both the structural parameters
and the carrier doping level to fill up the bands is crucial for increasing T_c
among these La1111-based compounds through the optimization of the Fermi
surface topology.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, 1 table, to be published in J. Phys. Soc. Jpn,
