(DarkAI) Mapping the large-scale density field of dark matter using artificial intelligence

Herein, we present a deep-learning technique for reconstructing the dark-matter density field from the redshift-space distribution of dark-matter halos. We built a UNet-architecture neural network and trained it using the COmoving Lagrangian Acceleration fast simulation, which is an approximation of the N-body simulation with 5123 particles in a box size of 500 h^-1Mpc. Further, we tested the resulting UNet model not only with training-like test samples but also with standard N-body si...     

Additional acoustic attenuation of coastal turbid water—Measurements compared with predictions using particle size distributions techniques

Based on reverberation method,the viscous absorptions of 0.2-2.0kg/m~3 sediment and glass bead turbid seawater were measured.It is shown that the measurement results were more consistent with the prediction results using particle size distributions techniques instead of using average particle radius techniques.By comparison of the prediction results using particle size distributions techniques with that using average particle radius techniques,it was observed that the discrepancy is 2.3-2.6 dB every 100 meters for 1.0 kg/m~3 of sediment turbid seawater within the scope of experimental frequency.It was suggested that the particle size distributions should be considered in the predictions of viscous absorption in coastal turbid waters.     

On the concept of “nonlocalization” associated with the gravitational field

The concept of nonlocalization associated with the gravitational field, which is carried by the internal variable () annexed to each point, is considered in connection with the geometrical theory of gauge fields. Two concrete examples of nonlocalization are proposed by taking as a vector and a spinor, respectively.

Hölder continuity of sample paths in Euclidean field theory

Hölder continuity of sample paths of the stochastic process _t (f)=( _t f) (f Y(R ^d–1)) in Euclidean field theory is proved under some assumptions on correlation functions. These assumptions are fulfilled inP()₂ and in theories in which the GHS inequality holds. The continuity index is determined by the condition d(p)|p ₀|²<, whered(p) is the Fourier transform of the two-point function.On leave of absence from Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Wrocaw, Wrocaw, Poland     

An analytical model for the determination of crystallite size and?crystal lattice microstrain distributions in nanocrystalline materials from the variance of the X-ray diffraction peaks

An analytical model for the determination of crystallite size and crystal lattice microstrain distributions in nanocrystalline (nc) materials by X-ray diffractometry (XRD) is presented. It entails generalizing the variance method to establish analytically the connection between the variance coefficients of the physically broadened XRD peaks and the characteristic parameters of explicit distributions of crystallite sizes and crystal lattice microstrains, which results in a more detailed characterization of the nc-materials. The proposed model is generic in nature and has the potential to be used under the assumption of different mathematical functions for the two distributions, which suggests that it may have an important role to play in the characterization of nc-materials. Nevertheless, the specialization to the case of nc-materials with log-normal crystallite size distribution and three typical types of lattice microstrains is used as an illustration and to formulate explicit analytical expressions of interest. Finally, the usefulness of the proposed model is demonstrated on standard XRD profiles.     

Correlation between the real Co particle size distributions and the magnetic properties of GMR Cu–10Co alloy

The results of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), magnetic and magneto-resistivity investigations of the Cu–10Co (wt%) giant magneto-resistance (GMR) melt-spun ribbons are reported and discussed. To obtain different distributions of ferromagnetic Co particles in a non-magnetic Cu matrix, the alloy was aged at 550 °C for 0.5, 1, 2, 16, and 32 h. Particle size measurements were performed using quantitative TEM metallography methods. Two size classes of Co particles are identified: primary particles (P) precipitated during the melt-spinning process and the secondary particles (S) precipitated during the ageing process. The results of magnetization and coercitivity are correlated with the results of calculations based on the real Co particle distributions determined from TEM micrographs. The behavior of magnetization and coercive force in function of ageing time is explained as related with changes of a mean particle size. It is shown that the GMR effect is not influenced by Co particles distribution for the S particles with the mean size less than 10 nm, whereas for Co distributions with larger mean diameters, the GMR effect is strongly reduced.

Critical behaviours and magnetic properties of three-dimensional bond and anisotropy dilution Blume——Capel model in the presence of an applied field

This paper studies the critical behaviours and magnetic properties of three-dimensional bond and anisotropy dilution Blume--Capel model (BCM) in the presence of an applied field within the effective field theory. The trajectory of tricritical point, reentrant transitions and degenerate patterns of anisotropy are obtained both for the bond and the anisotropy dilutions. The global phase diagrams demonstrate unusually reentrant phenomena. The temperature dependences of magnetization curves undergo remarkable spin glass behaviour at low temperatures, and transform from ferromagnetism to paramagnetism at high temperature in applied fields. Temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility curve is in qualitative agreement with experimental result.     

Space‒time inhomogeneity of the electron flow in pyroelectric X-ray sources

The operating conditions of X-Ray sources based on LiNbO₃ crystals are investigated during heating-cooling cycles. It is demonstrated that the radiation intensity is unstable. The radiation is accompanied by electrical breakdowns in the Z plane of the crystals and emission of photon packets not described by the Poisson distribution. Visualization of the electron beam through the grid electrode by a luminescent screen showed that the electron beam is not uniform in the Z-plane of the crystal and greatly changes with temperature. It is found that, under definite conditions, the numerous redistributions of the intense emission zones occurred between different areas at Z-surface of the crystal. Possible reasons for the observed effects are examined. The obtained data are important for creating pyroelectric X-ray and neutron sources presuming the usage of strong electric fields whose strength reaches 10⁵ V/cm.

Applications of laser in the field of chemical solubility determination

A novel experiment method for chemical solubility determination was brought forward, in which optics and chemistry principles are united and the change of laser intensity indicates the process of chemical dissolving. The more undissolved solid exists in the mixture of solute and solvent, the less transmitted laser intensity is detected. Only when the transmitted laser intensity in stirring state and that in static state comes into equalization, the dissolving process stops. Under the help of laser intensity judgement, measurements turn to be more feasible and objective, especially at high pressure. The average relative errors for the solubility data determined in this paper are 2.3% for those in the minor value scope and 1.7% for those in the high value scope respectively. Comparison of the experimental solubility data with the literature ones demonstrates that the laser-aid solubility determination apparatus is stable and reliable.     

Improvement of the determination of hydrogen content in a multicomponent sample by D—T generator

If a D T generator is used as a neutron source to simultaneously measure the content of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in a multicomponent sample by NIPGA （Neutron Induced Prompt Gamma-ray Analysis）, the 14 MeV neutron flux can be regarded as a constant value. The relationship between the production of the hydrogen characteristic gamma-rays and its content is nonlinear. In this paper, we use MCNP （Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport code） to simulate the relationship and analyze it. In practical measurement of the characteristic gamma-ray, it＇s impossible to get the net count. Therefore, we use the experiment to obtain the relationship between the hydrogen content and the total count of its characteristic gamma-rays. If we use the relationship combined with the simulation result to calculate the hydrogen content, the metrical precision can be much increased. The deviation of hydrogen content between NIPGA and chemical analysis is less than 0.25%, which meets the requirement of coal industry.     

Zero—field—cooled and field—cooled magnetizations and magnetic susceptibility of itinerant ferromagnet SrRuO3

Zero-field-cooled(ZFC) magnetization,field-cooled(FC) magnetization,ac magnetic susceptibility and major hysteresis loops of itinerant ferromagnet SrRuO3 have been measured at magnetic ordering temperatures ranging from 5 to 160K.An empirical model is proposed to calculate the measured ZFC magnetization.The result indicates that the calculated ZFC magnetization compares well with the measured one.Based on the generalized Preisach model.both the ZFC and FC curves are reproduced by numerical simulations.The critical temperature and critical exponents are determined by measuring the ac magnetic susceptibility in different bias magnetic fields at temperatures in the vicinity of the point of phase transition.     

Quantitative T(1)(ρ) imaging using phase cycling for B0 and B1 field inhomogeneity compensation

T_1ρ imaging is useful in a number of clinical applications. T_1ρ preparation methods, however, are sensitive to non-uniformities of the B₀ magnetic field and the B₁ RF field. These common system imperfections can result in image artifacts and quantification errors in T_1ρ imaging. We report on a phase-cycling method which can eliminate B₁ RF inhomogeneity effects in T_1ρ imaging. This method does not only correct for image artifacts but also for T_2ρ contamination caused by B₁ RF inhomogeneity. The presence of B₀ magnetic field inhomogeneity can compromise the effectiveness of this method for B₁ RF inhomogeneity correction. We demonstrate that, by combining the spin-locking scheme reported by Dixon et al. (Myocardial suppression in vivo by spin locking with composite pulses. Magn Reson Med 1996; 36:90-94) with phase cycling, we can simultaneously correct B₀ magnetic field inhomogeneity effects and B₁ RF inhomogeneity effects in T_1ρ imaging. Phantom and in vivo data sets are used to demonstrate the proposed methods and to compare them with other existing T_1ρ preparation methods.     

Change in the microhardness of nonmagnetic crystals after their exposure to the Earth’s magnetic field and AC pump field in the EPR scheme

Changes in the microhardness of ZnO, triglycine sulfate (TGS), and potassium acid phthalate (KAP) crystals after their exposure to crossed ultralow magnetic fields, i.e., the Earth’s field B _Earth ≈ 50 μT and the alternating-current field \(\tilde B \approx 3 \mu {\rm T}\) orthogonal to it, have been revealed. In ZnO crystals, the microhardness increases, whereas in TGS and KAP, it decreases. A maximum change (10–15%) is reached within 1–3 h after magnetic treatment; then, the microhardness gradually recovers to its initial value for the first day. After a sufficient pause, the effect is completely reproduced under the same conditions. The resonant frequency of the pump field \(\tilde B\) corresponds to the EPR condition with a g-factor close to two. The magnetic memory exhibits a strong anisotropy: for each of the crystals, a direction is found, which, being coincident with the Earth’s magnetic field vector B _Earth, causes complete or partial suppression of the effect. In ZnO and TGS crystals, these are symmetry axes 6 and 2, respectively. In the KAP crystal, it is the direction in the cleavage plane orthogonal the 2 axis. Possible physical mechanisms of the observed phenomena have been discussed.     

Phase boundary of the hexagonal—prism superconducting network in a magnetic field

In this paper, we systematically study the phase boundary T_c(\vec H) of a hexagonal-prism superconducting network in an external magnetic field \vec H of arbitrary magnitude and direction. The result indicates that the phase boundary of the hexagonal-prism superconducting circuit varies more sharply than that of the cubic circuit. The potential applications of the hexagonal-prism superconducting circuit are also discussed.
