Reliability and Efficiency of Generalized Rumor Spreading Model on Complex Social Networks

We introduce the generalized rumor spreading model and investigate some properties of this model on different complex social networks. Despite pervious rumor models that both the spreader-spreader (SS) and the spreader-stifler (SR) interactions have the same rate α, we define α⁽¹⁾ and α⁽²⁾ for SS and SR interactions, respectively. The effect of variation of α⁽¹⁾ and α⁽²⁾ on the final density of stiflers is investigated. Furthermore, the influence of the topological structure of the network in rumor spreading is studied by analyzing the behavior of several global parameters such as reliability and efficiency. Our results show that while networks with homogeneous connectivity patterns reach a higher reliability, scale-free topologies need a less time to reach a steady state with respect the rumor.     

Equilibrium dynamics of the sub-Ohmic spin-boson model under bias

Using the bosonic numerical renormalization group method, we studied the equilibrium dynamical correlation function C(ω) of the spin operator σ_z for the biased sub-Ohmic spin-boson model. The small-ω behavior C(ω) ∝ω~s is found to be universal and independent of the bias ε and the coupling strength α(except at the quantum critical point α = αc and ε = 0). Our NRG data also show C(ω) ∝χ~2ω~s for a wide range of parameters, including the biased strong coupling regime(ε = 0 and α α_c), supporting the general validity of the Shiba relation. Close to the quantum critical point αc,the dependence of C(ω) on α and ε is understood in terms of the competition between ε and the crossover energy scale ω_0~*of the unbiased case. C(ω) is stable with respect to ε for ε《ε~*. For ε》ε~*, it is suppressed by ε in the low frequency regime. We establish that ε~*∝(ω_0~*)~(1/θ)holds for all sub-Ohmic regime 0≤s 1, with θ = 2/(3s) for 0 s≤1/2 and θ = 2/(1 + s) for 1/2 s 1. The variation of C(ω) with α and ε is summarized into a crossover phase diagram on the α–ε plane.

利用水热法合成了α-SrHPO₄：RE（RE=Eu³⁺,Tb³⁺）纳米磷光体,并研究了材料的形貌与光谱特性。α-SrHPO₄纳米粒子为长度90~200 nm的棒状结构,直径为24~36 nm。Eu³⁺和Tb³⁺的掺杂均会降低α-SrHPO₄的结晶度,并减小其长径比。α-Sr_0.97HPO₄：0.03Eu³⁺在395 nm近紫外光的激发下,存在分别由⁵D₀→⁷F₁和⁵D₀→⁷F₁₂跃迁引起的590 nm和614 nm发射峰,最终发射橙红光。α-Sr_0.97HPO₄：0.03Tb³⁺在217 nm近紫外光的激发下,存在由⁵D₄→⁷F₅跃迁引起的543 nm绿光发射。     

利用18O(6Li,d)22Ne反应研究22Ne Eα=470 keV共振态的性质

慢速中子俘获过程（s过程）是合成比铁重元素的重要途径之一。22Ne（α,n）25Mg反应是大质量AGB星中s过程主要的中子源,其中的22Ne主要通过14N（α,γ）18F（β+）18O（α,γ）22Ne反应链合成。该反应链中关键反应18O（α,γ）22Ne在天体物理感兴趣能区的截面非常低,其天体反应率主要来自于22Ne α分离阈附近低能共振态的贡献,但目前相关能级的共振参数严重缺失。在HI-13串列加速器的Q3D磁谱仪上,通过测量18O（6Li,d）22Ne反应的角分布,利用DWBA分析确定了22Ne分离阈附近共振能级E_α=470 keV的自旋宇称为0+,为后续计算18O（α,γ）22Ne的天体反应率打下了基础。About a half of the abundances of elements heavier than iron comes from the so-called slowneutron capture process (s-process) in Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars, with the 22Ne(α, n)25Mg reaction as one of the main neutron sources. In the beginning phase of AGB thermal pulse, 22Ne is produced by the 14N(α, γ)18F(β+)18O(α, γ)22Ne reaction sequence, in which the 18O(α, γ)22Ne reaction plays a key role. While the reaction rate of the 18O(α, γ)22Ne is mainly affected by several resonant states lying closely to the α threshold in 22Ne, up to now, the relevant 22Ne parameters are fragmentary in the energy region corresponding to the typical temperatures of s-process. The direct measurement of the 18O(α, γ)22Ne reaction rate is extremely difficult due to the very low cross section. In this work, we investigated the 22Ne resonant states via the 18O(6Li, d)22Ne reaction at the Beijing HI-13 tandem accelerator of China Institute of Atomic Energy. Based on the DWBA analysis, preliminary results showed that the spin-parity of 22Ne E_α=470 keV resonant states was assigned as 0+, which would make contributions to subsequent calculation for the reaction rate of the 18O(α, γ)22Ne.     

Discreteness of space from the generalized uncertainty principle

Various approaches to Quantum Gravity (such as String Theory and Doubly Special Relativity), as well as black hole physics predict a minimum measurable length, or a maximum observable momentum, and related modifications of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle to a so-called Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP). We propose a GUP consistent with String Theory, Doubly Special Relativity and black hole physics, and show that this modifies all quantum mechanical Hamiltonians. When applied to an elementary particle, it implies that the space which confines it must be quantized. This suggests that space itself is discrete, and that all measurable lengths are quantized in units of a fundamental length (which can be the Planck length). On the one hand, this signals the breakdown of the spacetime continuum picture near that scale, and on the other hand, it can predict an upper bound on the quantum gravity parameter in the GUP, from current observations. Furthermore, such fundamental discreteness of space may have observable consequences at length scales much larger than the Planck scale.     

Tricritical and Critical Exponents in Microcanonical Ensemble of Systems with Long-Range Interactions

We explore the tricritical points and the critical lines of both Blume-Emery-Griffiths and Ising model within long-range interactions in the microcanonical ensemble. For K=K_MTP, the tricritical exponents take the values β=1/4, 1=γ^-≠γ⁺=1/2 and 0=α^-≠α⁺=-1/2, which disagree with classical (mean field) values. When K>K_MTP, the phase transition becomes second order and the critical exponents have classical values except close to the canonical tricritical parameters (K_CTP), where the values of the critical expoents become β=1/2, 1=γ^-≠γ⁺=2 and 0=α⁺≠α⁺=1.     

Some integrable models in quantized spaces

It is shown that in a quantized space determined by the B₂ (O(5)=Sp(4)) algebra with three-dimensional parameters of the length L², momentum (Mc)², and action S, the spectrum of the Coulomb problem with conserving Runge–Lenz vector coincides with the spectrum found by Schrödinger for the space of constant curvature but with the values of the principal quantum number limited from the side of higher values. The same problem is solved for the spectrum of a harmonic oscillator.     

恒星氦燃烧关键反应12C(α,γ)16O天体物理S因子及其反应率

恒星氦燃烧阶段3α反应和12C（α,γ）16O反应相互竞争,两者的反应率共同决定了氦燃烧结束后12C与16O的丰度比,该比值是大质量恒星后继演化以及伴随的元素核合成过程的初始条件。目前,氦燃烧12C（α,γ）16O反应起始T₉=0.2处,天体物理模型要求的反应率的精确度要低于10%,然而尚未有实验或理论给出满足要求的结果。最为直接和可靠地获取12C（α,γ）16O反应率的方法,就是尽可能往低能区测量其天体物理S因子,然后通过理论外推到感兴趣的能区。为此基于经典的R-矩阵理论,建立了适用于低能核反应的多道、多能级的约化R-矩阵理论来拟合几乎所有可用的16O系统的实验数据。配合使用协方差统计和误差传播理论,拟合外推得到了客观的、内部自恰的和唯一性好的12C（α,γ）16O反应天体物理S因子。总的外推S因子STOT（0.3 MeV）=162.7±7.3 keV·b,理论上首次给出达到恒星演化与元素核合成模型的最低要求的S因子。基于计算给出的全能区的S因子,数值积分给出了温度位于0.04 6 T₉ 6 10的12C（α,γ）16O天体物理反应率。在T₉=0.2处,推荐的反应率为（7.83 ±0.35）×10-15 cm3mol-1s-1。During stellar helium burning, the rates of 3α and the 12C(α,γ)16O reaction, in competition with one another, determine the relative abundances of 12C and 16O in a massive star. The abundance ratio is the beginning condition of the following nucleosynthesis and star evolution of massive stars, which are extremely sensitive to the rate of 12C(α,γ)16O reaction at T₉=0.2. The most direct and trustworthy way to obtain the reaction rate of the 12C(α,γ)16O reaction is to measure the S factor for that reaction to as low energy as possible, and to extrapolate to energies of astrophysical interest. Based on a new multilevel and multichannel reduced R-matrix theory for applications in nuclear astrophysics, we have obtained an accurate and self-consistent astrophysical S factor of 12C(α,γ)16O, by a global fitting for almost all available experimental data of 16O system, with the coordination of covariance statistics and error-propagation theory. The extrapolated S factor of 12C(α,γ)16O was obtained with a recommended value STOT (0.3 MeV)=162.7±7.3 keV·b. And the reaction rates of 12C(α,γ)16O for stellar temperatures between 0.04 6 T₉ 6 10 are provided. At T₉=0.2, the reaction rate is (7.83 ±0.35)×10-15 cm3mol-1s-1, where stellar helium burning occurs.

A multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) study has been carried out on the LiCl molecule. The potential energy has been calculated over a wide range of internuclear separation for the 21 low-lying electronic states of the LiCl molecule dissociating into Li (²S, ²P, ³S)+Cl(²P). The (4)¹Σ⁺, (3)¹Π, 1-3³Σ⁺, 1-3³Π, ^1,3Δ, ^1,3Σ^-, (5)¹Σ⁺, (4)³Σ⁺, (4)¹Π, (4)³Π excited states are studied for the first time in theory. Molecular spectroscopic constants (R_e, D_e, ω_e, ω_eχ_e, B_e and α_e) have been derived for the 9 bound states (X¹Σ⁺, (3)¹Σ⁺, (2)¹Σ⁺, ^1,3Δ, ^1,3Σ^-, (4)¹Π, (4)³Π) with a regular shape, and the spectroscopic constants of ground states X¹Σ⁺ are in good agreement with available experimental and theoretical values. The relative differences between experimental values and our values for R_e, D_e, ω_e, ω_eχ_e, B_e and α_e are 1.02%, 0.60%, 1.72%, 9.46%, 2.0%, and 0.75%, respectively. Moreover, vibrational levels of 9 bound states, which have not been investigated experimentally, are computed.

高分子导热材料的有效调控受到了日益广泛的关注.应用密度泛函理论(DFT)、中央插入延展(central insertion scheme,CIS)方法及非平衡格林函数(NEGF)理论,对包含432个原子、长18.533 nm的聚乙烯单链量子热输运的同位素效应进行了研究.计算结果表明,室温下长100 nm的纯12C聚乙烯单链的热导率理论上限高达314.1 W·m~(-1)·K~(-1);对于~(12)C聚乙烯单链,其他条件一定时,~(14)C掺杂引起的热导同位素效应比~(13)C更为显著;室温下纯~(12)C聚乙烯单链中~(14)C掺杂原子百分数为50%时同位素效应最显著,此时平均热导比未掺杂时下降了51%.这对探索聚乙烯材料热输运的同位素影响机理具有十分积极的意义.     

Magnetic field induced transitions between quantized hall and insulator states in a dilute 2D electron gas

We report on the observation of a new phenomenon: a sequence of magnetic field induced transitions between well defined quantum Hall effect states, with a Hall resistance quantized as integer fractions of h/e² and a vanishingly small longitudinal resistance, and insulator states with longitudinal resistance exceeding 2×10⁹ Ω. This phenomenon is observed in extremely high mobility Si MOSFETs, in a range of electron concentrations corresponding to a dilute 2D electron gas in or near an activated electronic transport regime. We attribute this effect to a modulation of the metal-insulator transition by the quantum Hall effect or to the formation of a pinned Wigner solid.     

Black hole remnants due to GUP or quantum gravity?

Based on the micro-black hole gedanken experiment as well as on general considerations of quantum mechanics and gravity the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) is analyzed by using the running Newton constant. The result is used to decide between the GUP and quantum gravitational effects as a possible mechanism leading to the black hole remnants of about Planck mass.     

Application of Eigenkets of Bosonic Creation Operator in Deriving Some New Formulas of Associated Laguerre Polynomials

Using the resolution of unity composed of bosonic creation operator's eigenkets and annihilation operator's un-normalized eigenket, which is a new quantum mechanical representation in contour integration form, we derive new contour integration expression of associated Laguerre polynomials L_m^ρ (|z|²) and its generalized generating function formula. A series of recursive relations regarding to L_m^ρ(|z|²) are also deduced in the context of the Fock representation by algebraic method.     

Coupling Vertex of the Pomeron to Nucleon in QCD

The coupling vertex of the Pomeron to nucleon is derived from QCD. A γμ coupling vertex and coupling strength of β＝ 6.0 GeV-1, which has been used commonly as a free parameter in literature, are obtained. The result leads a support to the belief that the Pomeron could be a tensor glueball ξ(2230) with quantum numbers of IGJPC ＝ 0+2++ in nature.     

Discreteness of space from GUP II: Relativistic wave equations

Various theories of Quantum Gravity predict modifications of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle near the Planck scale to a so-called Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP). In some recent papers, we showed that the GUP gives rise to corrections to the Schrödinger equation, which in turn affect all quantum mechanical Hamiltonians. In particular, by applying it to a particle in a one-dimensional box, we showed that the box length must be quantized in terms of a fundamental length (which could be the Planck length), which we interpreted as a signal of fundamental discreteness of space itself. In this Letter, we extend the above results to a relativistic particle in a rectangular as well as a spherical box, by solving the GUP-corrected Klein–Gordon and Dirac equations, and for the latter, to two and three dimensions. We again arrive at quantization of box length, area and volume and an indication of the fundamentally grainy nature of space. We discuss possible implications.     

Differential cohomology of C (a)

Let be a finite dimensional real Lie algebra and ^* its dual. ^* is a Poisson manifold. Thus the space C^∞( ^*) of C^∞ functions on ^* has an associative and a Lie algebra structure. The problem of formal deformations of such a structure needs the determination of some cohomology groups of C^∞( ^*), considered as a module on itself for left multiplication or adjoint representation. We determine here these groups. The result is very similar to the case of C^∞(W), where W is a symplectic manifold except for the Lie algebras h_r × ^m, direct products of Heisenberg and abelian Lie algebras.

On Improving Accuracy of Finite-Element Solutions of the Effective-Mass Schrödinger Equation for Interdiffused Quantum Wells and Quantum Wires

We use the Galerkin approach and the finite-element method to numerically solve the effective-mass Schrödinger equation.The accuracy of the solution is explored as it varies with the range of the numerical domain.The model potentials are those of interdiffused semiconductor quantum wells and axially symmetric quantum wires.Also,the model of a linear harmonic oscillator is considered for comparison reasons.It is demonstrated that the absolute error of the electron ground state energy level exhibits a minimum at a certain domain range,which is thus considered to be optimal.This range is found to depend on the number of mesh nodes N approximately as α₀ log_e^α₁(α₂ N),where the values of the constants α₀,α₁,and α₂ are determined by fitting the numerical data.And the optimal range is found to be a weak function of the diffusion length.Moreover,it was demonstrated that a domain range adaptation to the optimal value leads to substantial improvement of accuracy of the solution of the Schrödinger equation.     

In0.53Ga0.47As/InP量子阱与体材料的1 MeV电子束辐照光致发光谱研究

为获得对In_0.53Ga_0.47As/InP材料在电子束辐照下的光致发光谱变化规律, 开展了1 MeV电子束辐照试验, 注量为 5×10¹²-9×10¹⁴ cm^-2. 样品选取量子阱材料和体材料, 在辐照前后, 进行了光致发光谱测试, 得到了不同结构In_0.53Ga_0.47As/InP材料在1 MeV电子束辐照下的不同变化规律; 对比分析了参数退化的物理机理. 结果显示: 试验样品的光致发光峰强度随着辐照剂量增大而显著退化. 体材料最先出现快速退化, 而五层量子阱在注量达到6×10¹⁴ cm^-2时, 就已经退化至辐照前的9%. 经分析认为原因有: 1)电子束进入样品后, 与材料晶格发生能量传递, 破坏晶格完整性, 致使产生的激子数量减少, 光致发光强度降低; 电子束辐照在材料中引入缺陷, 增加了非辐射复合中心密度, 导致载流子迁移率降低. 2)量子阱的二维限制作用使载流子运动受限, 从而能够降低载流子与非辐射复合中心的复合概率; 敏感区域截面积相同条件下, 体材料比量子阱材料辐射损伤更为严重. 3)量子阱的层数越多, 则异质结界面数越多, 相应的产生的界面缺陷数量也随之增多, 辐射损伤越严重.
