    Gauge field in ultra-cold bipartite atoms

    Full text link
    The effects of entanglement and spin-spin collision on the gauge field in ultracold atoms are presented in this paper. Two gauge fields are calculated and discussed. One of the fields comes from space dependent spin-spin collisions in ultra-cold atoms, while another results from the usual Born-Oppenheimer method, which separates the center-of-mass motion from the relative motion in the two-body problem. Adiabatic conditions that lead to the key results of this paper are also presented and discussed. Entanglement shared between the two atoms is shown to affect the atomic motion. In the presence of entanglement, the additional scalar potential disappears, this is different from the case of atoms in separable states.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figur

    Thermal spin current and spin accumulation at ferromagnetic insulator/nonmagnetic metal interface

    Full text link
    Spin current injection and spin accumulation near a ferromagnetic insulator (FI)/nonmagnetic metal (NM) bilayer film under a thermal gradient is investigated theoretically. Using the Fermi golden rule and the Boltzmann equations, we find that FI and NM can exchange spins via interfacial electron-magnon scattering because of the imbalance between magnon emission and absorption caused by either non-equilibrium distribution of magnons or non-equilibrium between magnons and electrons. A temperature gradient in FI and/or a temperature difference across the FI/NM interface generates a spin current which carries angular momenta parallel to the magnetization of FI from the hotter side to the colder one. Interestingly, the spin current induced by a temperature gradient in NM is negligibly small due to the nonmagnetic nature of the non-equilibrium electron distributions. The results agree well with all existing experiments.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figure

    Effect of near-earth thunderstorms electric field on the intensity of ground cosmic ray positrons/electrons in Tibet

    Full text link
    Monte Carlo simulations are performed to study the correlation between the ground cosmic ray intensity and near-earth thunderstorms electric field at YBJ (4300 m a.s.l., Tibet, China). The variations of the secondary cosmic ray intensity are found to be highly dependent on the strength and polarity of the electric field. In negative fields and in positive fields greater than 600 V/cm, the total number of ground comic ray positrons and electrons increases with increasing electric field strength. And these values increase more obviously when involving a shower with lower primary energy or a higher zenith angle. While in positive fields ranging from 0 to 600 V/cm, the total number of ground comic ray positrons and electrons declines and the amplitude is up to 3.1% for vertical showers. A decrease of intensity occurs for inclined showers in positive fields less than 500 V/cm, which is accompanied by smaller amplitudes. In this paper, the intensity changes are discussed, especially concerning the decreases in positive electric fields. Our simulation results are in good agreement with ground-based experimental results obtained from ARGO-YBJ and the Carpet air shower array. These results could be helpful in understanding the acceleration mechanisms of secondary charged particles caused by an atmospheric electric field.Comment: 17pages,15figure

    Dissipative preparation of tripartite singlet state in coupled arrays of cavities via quantum feedback control

    Full text link
    We propose an experimentally feasible scheme for dissipative preparation of tripartite entangled state with atoms separately trapped in an array of three coupled cavities. The combination of coherent driving fields and quantum-jump-based feedback control will drive the system into a non-equilibrium steady state, which has a nearly perfect overlap with the genuine three-atom singlet state. Different control strategies are investigated and the corresponding optimal parameters are confirmed. Moreover, the fidelity of target state is insensitive to detection inefficiencies, and it oversteps 90\% for a wide range of decoherence parameters as long as the single-atom cooperativity parameter C≡g2/(γκ)>350C\equiv g^2/(\gamma\kappa)>350.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures, comments are welcom

    Breaking the current density threshold in spin-orbit-torque magnetic random access memory

    Full text link
    Spin-orbit-torque magnetic random access memory (SOT-MRAM) is a promising technology for the next generation of data storage devices. The main bottleneck of this technology is the high reversal current density threshold. This outstanding problem of SOT-MRAM is now solved by using a current density of constant magnitude and varying flow direction that reduces the reversal current density threshold by a factor of more than the Gilbert damping coefficient. The Euler-Lagrange equation for the fastest magnetization reversal path and the optimal current pulse are derived for an arbitrary magnetic cell. The theoretical limit of minimal reversal current density and current density for a GHz switching rate of the new reversal strategy for CoFeB/Ta SOT-MRAMs are respectively of the order of 10510^5 A/cm2^2 and 10610^6 A/cm2^2 far below 10710^7 A/cm2^2 and 10810^8 A/cm2^2 in the conventional strategy. Furthermore, no external magnetic field is needed for a deterministic reversal in the new strategy

    Canonical Form and Separability of PPT States in 2xMxN Composite Quantum Systems

    Full text link
    We investigate the canonical forms of positive partial transposition (PPT) density matrices in C2⊗CM⊗CN{\cal C}^2 \otimes {\cal C}^M \otimes {\cal C}^N composite quantum systems with rank NN. A general expression for these PPT states are explicitly obtained. From this canonical form a sufficient separability condition is presented.Comment: 11 pages, Late

    The half-quantum group U^>=0

    Full text link
    Let U^>=0 denote the half quantum group for a fixed simple Lie algebra. We examine some properties and representation of U^>=0. We prove that the Hopf algebra U^>=0 is not quasi-cocommutative, and hence the category of left U^>=0-module is not a braided monoidal category. In the weight module category W, we describe all the simple objects and the projective objects. We also describe all simple Yetter-Drinfel'd U^>=0-weight modules.Comment: 16page

    Representation theory of a Class of Hopf algebras

    Full text link
    The representations of the pointed Hopf algebras UU and \su are described, where UU and \su can be regarded as deformations of the usual quantized enveloping algebras Uq(sl(3))U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(3)) and the small quantum groups respectively. It is illustrated that these representations have a close connection with those of the quantized enveloping algebras Uq(sl(2))U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2)) and those of the half quantum groups of sl(3)\mathfrak{sl}(3).Comment: 20page

    Magnetic and transport properties in Gd1−x_{1-x}Srx_xCoO3_{3} (xx= 0.10-0.70)

    Full text link
    Magnetic and transport properties of polycrystalline Gd1−x_{1-x}Srx_xCoO3_{3} (xx= 0.10-0.70) are investigated systemically. Cluster-glass magnetism for x≤x \leq 0.45 and long-range ferromagnetic order in higher doping level are observed. Transport measurements indicate insulator-like behaviors for the samples with x≤x \leq 0.30, and an insulator-metal (IM) transition around xx = 0.35, and metallic behaviors for higher xx samples. In contrast to La1−x_{1-x}Srx_{x}COO3_{3}, the striking feature is that the system reenters insulator-like state for x≥x \geq 0.60, and the long-range ferromagnetic order and IM transition take place in samples with higher Sr content. It could be attributed to the enhancement of low-spin state stability for the trivalent Co ions due to the small radius of Gd3+^{3+} ion.Comment: 8 pages, 9 figure

    Current-Driven Domain Wall Depinning and Propagation in Notched Nanowires

    Full text link
    Adiabatic spin transfer torque induced domain wall (DW) depinning from a notch and DW propagation in a nanowire with a series of notches is investigated. Surprisingly, notches help a current to depin a DW and make a DW easier to propagate along a wire. Following fascinating results on DW dynamics are found. 1) The depinning current density of a DW in a notch is substantially lower than the intrinsic threshold value below which a sustainable DW propagation doesn't exist in a homogeneous wire. 2) The DW displacement from a notch is insensitive to notch geometry and current density when it is between the depinning and the intrinsic threshold current density. 3) A current density below the intrinsic threshold value can induce a sustainable DW propagation along notched nanowires. These findings not only reveal interesting and complicated interaction between a current and a DW, but also have profound implications in our current understanding of current-driven DW dynamics as well as in the design of spintronic devices.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
