Magnetization in electron- and Mn- doped SrTiO3
Mn-doped SrTiO_3.0, when synthesized free of impurities, is a paramagnetic
insulator with interesting dielectric properties. Since delocalized charge
carriers are known to promote ferromagnetism in a large number of systems via
diverse mechanisms, we have looked for the possibility of any intrinsic,
spontaneous magnetization by simultaneous doping of Mn ions and electrons into
SrTiO_3 via oxygen vacancies, thereby forming SrTi_(1-x)Mn_xO_(3-d), to the
extent of making the doped system metallic. We find an absence of any
enhancement of the magnetization in the metallic sample when compared with a
similarly prepared Mn doped, however, insulating sample. Our results, thus, are
not in agreement with a recent observation of a weak ferromagnetism in metallic
Mn doped SrTiO_3 system.Comment: 10 pages and 4 figure
Angular Dependent Magnetization Dynamics of Kagome Artificial Spin Ice Incorporating Topological Defects
We report angular-dependent spin-wave spectroscopy on kagome artificial spin
ice made of large arrays of interconnected Ni80Fe20 nanobars. Spectra taken in
saturated and disordered states exhibit a series of resonances with
characteristic in-plane angular dependencies. Micromagnetic simulations allow
us to interpret characteristic resonances of a two-step magnetization reversal
of the nanomagnets. The dynamic properties are consistent with topological
defects that are provoked via a magnetic field applied at specific angles.
Simulations that we performed on previously investigated kagome artificial spin
ice consisting of isolated nanobars show characteristic discrepancies in the
spin wave modes which we explain by the absence of vertices.Comment: 14 pages and 5 figure
Non-resonant microwave absorption studies of superconducting MgB_2
Non-resonant microwave absorption(NRMA) studies of superconducting MgB_2 at a
frequency of 9.43 GHz in the field range -50 Gauss to 5000 Gauss are reported.
The NRMA results indicate near absence of intergranular weak links. A linear
temperature dependence of the lower critical field H_c1 is observed indicating
a non s-wave superconductivity. However, the phase reversal of the NRMA signal
which could suggest d-wave symmetry is also not observed.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figure
Angular Dependent Magnetization Dynamics with Mirror-symmetric Excitations in Artificial Quasicrystalline Nanomagnet Lattices
We report angle-dependent spin-wave spectroscopy on aperiodic
quasicrystalline magnetic lattices, i.e., Ammann, Penrose P2 and P3 lattices
made of large arrays of interconnected NiFe nanobars. Spin-wave
spectra obtained in the nearly saturated state contain distinct sets of
resonances with characteristic angular dependencies for applied in-plane
magnetic fields. Micromagnetic simulations allow us to attribute detected
resonances to mode profiles with specific mirror symmetries. Spectra in the
reversal regime show systematic emergence and disappearance of spin wave modes
indicating reprogrammable magnonic characteristics
Role of pectinolytic yeasts in the degradation of mucilage layer of Coffea robusta cherries
Pectinolytic yeasts, Saccharomyces marxianus, S. bayanus, S. cerevisiae var. ellipsoideus, and Schizosaccharomyces sp., predominated in the natural fermentation of coffee cherries of Coffea robusta variety grown in Chikmagalur district of Mysore State, India. These yeast species were found on the cherry surfaces, and evidence was adduced to show that the natural fermentation of coffee was the result of activity of microflora from the cherry surface itself rather than that of flora of air or water. Incorporation of pure cultures of Saccharomyces species was shown to aid the process when a mixture of all three species was used. An enzyme preparation from the Saccharomyces species was observed to hasten the mucilage-layer degradation
Towards a standard jet definition
In a simulated measurement of the -boson mass, evaluation of Fisher's
information shows the optimal jet definition to be physically equivalent to the
algorithm while being much faster at large multiplicities.Comment: version to appear in Phys. Rev. Lett., 4 page
Relativistic spin precession in the binary PSR J11416545
PSR J11416545 is a precessing binary pulsar that has the rare potential to
reveal the two-dimensional structure of a non-recycled pulsar emission cone. It
has undergone of relativistic spin precession in the
years since its discovery. In this paper, we present a detailed Bayesian
analysis of the precessional evolution of the width of the total intensity
profile, to understand the changes to the line-of-sight impact angle ()
of the pulsar using four different physically motivated prior distribution
models. Although we cannot statistically differentiate between the models with
confidence, the temporal evolution of the linear and circular polarisations
strongly argue that our line-of-sight crossed the magnetic pole around MJD
54000 and that only two models remain viable. For both these models, it appears
likely that the pulsar will precess out of our line-of-sight in the next
years, assuming a simple beam geometry. Marginalising over suggests
that the pulsar is a near-orthogonal rotator and provides the first
polarization-independent estimate of the scale factor () that
relates the pulsar beam opening angle () to its rotational period ()
as : we find it to be at 1.4
GHz with 99\% confidence. If all pulsars emit from opposite poles of a dipolar
magnetic field with comparable brightness, we might expect to see evidence of
an interpulse arising in PSR J11416545, unless the emission is patchy.Comment: Accepted for publication in Astrophysical Journal Letter
The Index of (White) Noises and their Product Systems
(See detailed abstract in the article.) We single out the correct class of
spatial product systems (and the spatial endomorphism semigroups with which the
product systems are associated) that allows the most far reaching analogy in
their classifiaction when compared with Arveson systems. The main differences
are that mere existence of a unit is not it sufficient: The unit must be
CENTRAL. And the tensor product under which the index is additive is not
available for product systems of Hilbert modules. It must be replaced by a new
product that even for Arveson systems need not coincide with the tensor
product
