An Electronically Reconfigurable Patch Antenna Design for Polarization Diversity with Fixed Resonant Frequency
In this paper, an electronically polarization reconfigurable circular patch antenna with fixed resonant frequency operating at Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) frequency band (2.4-2.48 GHz) is presented. The structure of the proposed design consists of a circular patch as a radiating element fed by coaxial probe, cooperated with four equal-length slits etched on the edge along x-axis and y-axis. A total of four switches was used and embedded across the slits at specific locations, thus controlled the length of the slits. By activating and deactivating the switches (ON and OFF) across the slits, the current on the patch is changed, thus modifying the electric field and polarization of the antenna. Consequently, the polarization excited by the proposed antenna can be switched into three types, either linear polarization, left-hand circular polarization or right-hand circular polarization. This paper proposes a simple approach that able to switch the polarizations and excited at the same operating frequency. Simulated and measured results of ideal case (using copper strip switches) and real case (using PIN diode switches) are compared and presented to demonstrate the performance of the antenna
Magic numbers in the discrete tomography of cyclotomic model sets
We report recent progress in the problem of distinguishing convex subsets of
cyclotomic model sets by (discrete parallel) X-rays in prescribed
-directions. It turns out that for any of these model sets
there exists a `magic number' such that any two
convex subsets of can be distinguished by their X-rays in any set
of prescribed -directions. In particular, for
pentagonal, octagonal, decagonal and dodecagonal model sets, the least possible
numbers are in that very order 11, 9, 11 and 13.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure; based on the results of arXiv:1101.4149 [math.MG];

Spin-exchange relaxation free magnetometry with Cs vapor
We describe a Cs atomic magnetometer operating in the spin-exchange
relaxation-free (SERF) regime. With a vapor cell temperature of
we achieve intrinsic magnetic resonance widths corresponding to an electron spin-relaxation rate of when the spin-exchange rate is . We
also observe an interesting narrowing effect due to diffusion. Signal-to-noise
measurements yield a sensitivity of about .
Based on photon shot noise, we project a sensitivity of . A theoretical optimization of the magnetometer indicates
sensitivities on the order of should be achievable in a
volume. Because Cs has a higher saturated vapor pressure than
other alkali metals, SERF magnetometers using Cs atoms are particularly
attractive in applications requiring lower temperatures.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures. submitted to PR
Parisi Phase in a Neuron
Pattern storage by a single neuron is revisited. Generalizing Parisi's
framework for spin glasses we obtain a variational free energy functional for
the neuron. The solution is demonstrated at high temperature and large relative
number of examples, where several phases are identified by thermodynamical
stability analysis, two of them exhibiting spontaneous full replica symmetry
breaking. We give analytically the curved segments of the order parameter
function and in representative cases compute the free energy, the storage
error, and the entropy.Comment: 4 pages in prl twocolumn format + 3 Postscript figures. Submitted to

Absence of anomalous negative lattice-expansion for polycrystalline sample of Tb2Ti2O7
High resolution X-ray powder-diffraction experiments on a well-characterized
polycrystalline sample of the spin liquid Tb2Ti2O7 reveal that it shows normal
positive thermal-expansion above 4 K, which does not agree with the intriguing
anomalous negative thermal-expansion due to a magneto-elastic coupling reported
for a single crystal sample below 20 K. We also performed a Rietveld profile
refinement of a powder-diffraction pattern taken at a room temperature, and
confirmed that it is consistent with the fully ordered cubic pyrochlore
structure.Comment: 2 pages, 3 figure
Multifractal analysis of perceptron learning with errors
Random input patterns induce a partition of the coupling space of a
perceptron into cells labeled by their output sequences. Learning some data
with a maximal error rate leads to clusters of neighboring cells. By analyzing
the internal structure of these clusters with the formalism of multifractals,
we can handle different storage and generalization tasks for lazy students and
absent-minded teachers within one unified approach. The results also allow some
conclusions on the spatial distribution of cells.Comment: 11 pages, RevTex, 3 eps figures, version to be published in Phys.

Discrete Symmetries on the Light Front and a General Relation Connecting Nucleon Electric Dipole and Anomalous Magnetic Moments
We consider the electric dipole form factor, F_3(q^2), as well as the Dirac
and Pauli form factors, F_1(q^2) and F_2(q^2), of the nucleon in the
light-front formalism. We derive an exact formula for F_3(q^2) to complement
those known for F_1(q^2) and F_2(q^2). We derive the light-front representation
of the discrete symmetry transformations and show that time-reversal- and
parity-odd effects are captured by phases in the light-front wave functions. We
thus determine that the contributions to F_2(q^2) and F_3(q^2), Fock state by
Fock state, are related, independent of the fundamental mechanism through which
CP violation is generated. Our relation is not specific to the nucleon, but,
rather, is true of spin-1/2 systems in general, be they lepton or baryon. The
empirical values of the anomalous magnetic moments, in concert with empirical
bounds on the associated electric dipole moments, can better constrain theories
of CP violation. In particular, we find that the neutron and proton electric
dipole moments echo the isospin structure of the anomalous magnetic moments,
kappa^n ~ - kappa^p.Comment: 25 pages, 1 figure. Published version. Ref. adde
Static Correlation and Dynamical Properties of Tb3+-moments in Tb2Ti2O7 -Neutron Scattering Study-
Static and dynamical properties of the magnetic moment system of pyrochlore
compound Tb2Ti2O7 with strong magnetic frustration, have been investigated down
to the temperature T=0.4 K by neutron scattering on a single crystal sample.
The scattering vector (Q)-dependence of the magnetic scattering intensity
becomes appreciable with decreasing T at around 30 K, indicating the
development of the magnetic correlation. From the observed energy profiles, the
elastic, quasi elastic and inelastic components have been separately obtained.
The quasi elastic component corresponds to the diffusive motion of the magnetic
moments within the lowest states, which are formed of the lowest energy levels
of Tb3+ ions. Magnetic correlation pattern which can roughly reproduce the
Q-dependence of the scattering intensities of the elastic and quasi elastic
component is discussed based on the trial calculations for clusters of 7
moments belonging to two corner-sharing tetrahedra. A possible origin of the
glassy state, which develops at around 1.5 K with decreasing T is discussed.Comment: 10 pages, 12 figures, to be published in J. Phys. Soc. Jpn.
