New variable separation solutions for the generalized nonlinear diffusion equations

The functionally generalized variable separation of the generalized nonlinear diffusion equations ut = A(u, ux)uxx +B(u, ux) is studied by using the conditional Lie–Ba¨cklund symmetry method. The variant forms of the considered equations,which admit the corresponding conditional Lie–Ba¨cklund symmetries, are characterized. To construct functionally generalized separable solutions, several concrete examples defined on the exponential and trigonometric invariant subspaces are provided.

Generalized Einstein manifolds

A Finslerian manifold is called a generalized Einstein manifold (GEM) if the Ricci directional curvature R(u,u) is independent of the direction. Let F⁰(M, g_t) be a deformation of a compact n-dimensional Finslerian manifold preserving the volume of the unitary fibre bundle W(M). We prove that the critical points g₀ F⁰(g_t) of the integral I(g_t) on W(M) of the Finslerian scalar curvature (and certain functions of the scalar curvature) define a GEM. We give an estimate of the eigenvalues of Laplacian Δ defined on W(M) operating on the functions coming from the base when (M, g) is of minima fibration with a constant scalar curvature H admitting a conformal infinitesimal deformation (CID). We obtain λ ≥ H/(n − 1) (Δf = λf). If M is simply connected and λ = H/(n − 1), then (M, g) is Riemannian and is isometric to an n-sphere. We first calculate, in the general case, the formula of the second variationals of the integral I (g_t) for G = g₀, then for a CID we show that for certain Finslerian manifolds, I″(g₀) > 0. Applications to the gravitation and electromagnetism in general relativity are given. We prove that the spaces characterizing Einstein-Maxwell equations are GEMs.

Quenching of spin fluctuations by high magnetic fields

The quenching of spin fluctuations by magnetic fields has been observed in heat capacity and electrical resistivity measurements at low temperatures for a series of highly exchange enhanced magnetic materials. These include: the weak itinerant electron ferromagnets Sc₃In, Zr_1−xHf_xZn₂ (0 x 0.2) and Ni₃Al; the strong Pauli paramagnets RCo₂ (R = Sc, Y and Lu), TiBe₂ and Pd_1−xNi_x (0 x 0.01); and the heavy fermion systems CeSn₃, CeSi_x (x ≈ 1.85) an d UAl₂. The reported quenching of spin fluctuations in scandium and palladium by magnetic fields is reviewed, and it appears that the initial observations and conclusions are incorrect, and that fields greater than 10 and 40 T, respectively, will be necessary to quench spin fluctuations in these metals. The behaviors of these spin fluctuators have been grouped into six classes.     

1-forms over the moduli space of irreducible connections defined by the spectrum of Dirac operators

Let (P) be the moduli space of irreducible connections of a G-principal bundle P over a closed Riemannian spin manifold M. Let D_A be the Dirac operator of M coupled to a connection A of P and f a smooth function on M. We consider a smooth variation A(u) of A with tangent vector ω and denote T_ω:= (D_A(u)−f) (u=0. The coefficients of the asymptotic expansion of trace (T_ω · e^-t(D_A−f)2) near t=0 define 1-forms a^(k)_f, K=0, 1, 2, … on (P). In this paper we calculate aa⁽⁰⁾_f, a⁽¹⁾_f, a⁽²⁾_f and study some of their properties. For instance using the 1-form a⁽²⁾_f for suitable functions f we obtain a foliation of codimension 5 of the space of G-instantons of S⁴.     

Binary and ternary oscillations in a cubic numerical scheme

We study a central difference semi-discretization of the cubic scalar conservation law. Both spatial period-2 (binary) and period-3 (ternary) oscillations are stationary solutions of this scheme, and we find where each type is linearly stable. We observe numerically the formation of ternary oscillations, to the left of Riemann shock initial data with u_r = 0, while binary oscillations form to the right of Riemann rarefaction data having u_l = 0. We derive modulation equations for both wave patterns, using them to show that binary oscillations generated by the scheme are numerical artifacts, while computing an explicit solution for the ternary modulation equations. For positive initial data, the ternary modulation equations remain hyperbolic, while the solutions enter an elliptic region for data of both signs. Conditions under which solutions of the ternary modulation equations can be inverted to yield period-3 oscillations are also discussed.     

Electronic structures and topological properties of TeSe2 monolayers

The successfully experimental fabrication of two-dimensional Te monolayer films [Phys. Rev. Lett. 119 106101 (2017)] has promoted the researches on the group-VI monolayer materials. In this work, the electronic structures and topological properties of a group-VI binary compound of TeSe₂ monolayers are studied based on the density functional theory and Wannier function method. Three types of structures, namely, α-TeSe₂, β-TeSe₂, and γ-TeSe₂, are proposed for the TeSe₂ monolayer among which the α-TeSe₂ is found being the most stable. All the three structures are semiconductors with indirect band gaps. Very interestingly, the γ-TeSe₂ monolayer becomes a quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulator with a global nontrivial energy gap of 0.14 eV when a 3.5% compressive strain is applied. The opening of the global band gap is understood by the competition between the decrease of the local band dispersion and the weakening of the interactions between the Se p_x, p_y orbitals and Te p_x, p_y orbitals during the process. Our work realizes topological states in the group-VI monolayers and promotes the potential applications of the materials in spintronics and quantum computations.

Permanent magnet materials based on tetragonal rare earth compounds of the type RFe12−xMx

A review is given of the occurrence and composition of ternary rare earth compounds RT_12−xM_x based on the tetragonal ThMn₁₂ structure. Most of the compounds form with T = Fe but there are also examples withT = Co, Ni or Mn. Particular attention is paid to the site preference of the nonmagnetic component M, (Al, Si, Ti, V, Cr, Mo, W, Re). A discussion is given of the magnetic properties of the RT_12−xM_x compounds and the corresponding nitrides obtained after changing with nitrogen gas. The important role played by the intersublattice coupling on the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of these materials is stressed. Advantages and disadvantages of the RT_12−xM_x compounds as permanent magnet materials are discussed.

计算自旋-s算子幺正演化矩阵ds(t)的新方法及其应用

提出了一种严格求解任意自旋-s算子幺正演化矩阵的方法,该方法不同于群论的方法和直接计算的方法,是一种间接的算法.方法的核心是利用两个系统表示的等价性：即自旋-s算子Hamiltonian量H_s=S_x与Heisenberg XX开链带相互作用J_n=n(N-n)的Hamiltonian量的等价性,由于存在这种等价性,自旋-s算子幺正演化矩阵的计算可通过Heisenberg XX开链中态的演化来实现.采用该方法计算了s=3/2,s=2和s=5/2时对应的幺正演化矩阵.由于初始态|sm〉在算子e^-itS_x下的演化实质上相当于对态|sm〉进行一个绕x轴转角为β＝t的转动,演化矩阵元d^s_m'm(t)=〈sm′|e^-itS_x|sm〉就是转动后的态e^-itS_x|sm〉在|sm′〉态上的投影值,所以在t＝π时刻的演化矩阵刚好对应Heisenberg XX开链上量子态的理想传输. 关键词： s算子')" href="#">自旋-s算子 幺正演化矩阵 量子态传输     

Abnormal breakdown of Stokes–Einstein relation in liquid aluminium

We present the results of systematic molecular dynamics simulations of pure aluminium melt with a well-accepted embedded atom potential. The structure and dynamics were calculated over a wide temperature range, and the calculated results(including the pair correlation function, self-diffusion coefficient, and viscosity) agree well with the available experimental observations. The calculated data were used to examine the Stokes–Einstein relation(SER). The results indicate that the SER begins to break down at a temperature T_x(~1090 K) which is well above the equilibrium melting point(912.5 K).This high-temperature breakdown is confirmed by the evolution of dynamics heterogeneity, which is characterised by the non-Gaussian parameter α_2(t). The maximum value of α 2(t), α_(2,max), increases at an accelerating rate as the temperature falls below Tx. The development of α_(2,max) was found to be related to the liquid structure change evidenced by local fivefold symmetry. Accordingly, we suggest that this high-temperature breakdown of SER has a structural origin. The results of this study are expected to make researchers reconsider the applicability of SER and promote greater understanding of the relationship between dynamics and structure.

Defect structure of quenched γ-BICOVOX by combined X-ray and neutron powder diffraction

A detailed investigation of the defect structure of the Co doped BIMEVOX solid electrolyte, Bi₂V_{1 − x}Co_xO_{5.5 − 3x/2} (x = 0.1 and x = 0.2), quenched from high temperature, has been carried out using X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data measured at room temperature. The structure is built up from alternating layers of [Bi₂O₂]_n²ⁿ⁺ and [V_{1 − x}Co_xO_{3.5 − 3x/2}]_n²ⁿ⁻ with disorder limited to the vanadate layer. The ideal V/Co co-ordination is octahedral with corner sharing of equatorial oxygens. The refinements show that the true structure is distorted, with disorder in both apical and equatorial oxygens and oxygen vacancies concentrated in the equatorial positions. Detailed analysis of the oxygen site occupancies reveals two main types of V/Co co-ordination viz. distorted octahedral and distorted tetrahedral. The majority of the sites in both compositions are tetrahedral.     

Projective and affine connections on S and integrable systems

It is known that the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation is a geodesic flow of an L² metric on the Bott–Virasoro group. This can also be interpreted as a flow on the space of projective connections on S¹. The space of differential operators Δ⁽ⁿ⁾=∂ⁿ+u₂∂ⁿ⁻²++u_n form the space of extended or generalized projective connections. If a projective connection is factorizable Δ⁽ⁿ⁾=(∂−((n+1)/2−1)p₁)(∂+(n−1)/2p_n) with respect to quasi primary fields p_i’s, then these fields satisfy ∑_i=1ⁿ((n+1)/2−i)p_i=0. In this paper we discuss the factorization of projective connection in terms of affine connections. It is shown that the Burgers equation and derivative non-linear Schrödinger (DNLS) equation or the Kaup–Newell equation is the Euler–Arnold flow on the space of affine connections.     

Magnetostriction and spin reorientation in ferromagnetic Laves phase Pr(Ga_xFe_(1-x))_(1.9) compounds

The magnetostriction, magnetization, and spin reorientation properties in Pr(Ga_xFe_(1-x))_(1.9) alloys have been investigated by high-precision x-ray diffraction(XRD) step scanning, magnetization, and Mo¨ssbauer spectra measurements. Ga substitution reduces the magnetostriction(λ_(||)) with magnetic field H ≥ 8 kOe(1 Oe = 1.33322×10~2 Pa), but it also increases the λ|| value when H ≤ 8 kOe at 5 K. Spin-reorientations(SR) are observed in all the alloys investigated, as determined by the step scanned XRD, Mo¨ssbauer spectra, and the abnormal temperature dependence of magnetization. An increase of the spin reorientation temperature(T_(SR)) due to Ga substitution is found in the phase diagram, which is different from the decrease one in many R(T_x Fe_(1-x))_(1.9)(T = Co, Al, Mn) alloys. The present work provides a method to control the easy magnetization direction(EMD) or T_(SR) for developing an anisotropic compensation system.     

Temporary phase segregation processes during the oxidation of (Fe0.7Mn0.3)0.99O in N2---H2O atmosphere

A two-step thermochemical cycle with the ternary metal oxide system (Fe_{1 − x}Mn_x)₃O₄/(Fe_{1 − x}Mn_x)_{1 − y}O is applied to convert solar energy to chemical energy. Experimental investigations on the water splitting reaction of (Fe_{1 − x}Mn_x)_{1 − y}O revealed temporary formation of a manganese rich rock salt phase and an iron rich spinel phase due to phase segregation processes.     

Electrons and holes in undoped Nd2CuO4

Nd₂CuO_4±δ is the non-superconducting prototype of the Re_2−xM_xCuO₄t−y family (Re=Pr, Nd, Sm and M=Ceor Th) of n-type oxide superconductors. Four-probe DC conductivity, EMF in P(O₂) gradient, and thermopower measurements have been used to characterise its electric transport and defect structure between 300 and 900°C and between 5×10⁻⁴ and 1 atm oxygen partial pressure.

The results show that Nd₂CuO_4±δ can be oxygen under-stoichiometric (with n-type conductivity), near-stoichiometric, and over-stoichiometric (with p-type conductivity) in different T, P(O₂) ranges.     

Effect of Pr and Ca substitution on superconductivity in Y(1−x−yPrxCay)Ba2Cu3O7−δ

Pr substituted at constant Ca concentration for Y in (Y_1−x−yPr_xCa_y)Ba₂Cu₃O_7−δ superconductors have been prepared under identical conditions and the temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity of these samples are measured. The resistively determined values of T_c decrease linearly with increasing x (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2) for constant y = 0.10 and 0.15 which provides convincing evidence that the suppression of superconductivity by Pr is mainly due to magnetic pair breaking. The suppression of superconductivity can also be correlated to the observed changes in oxygen content determined by iodometric analysis and to the average Cu-valences. However, it is found that the observed suppression of T_c cannot be compensated by appropriate hole doping with Ca.
