Erratum to “Bayesian methods for parameter estimation in effective field theories” [Ann. Phys. 324 (2009) 682–708]

We have discovered an error in the numerical calculations for the extraction of parameters from the nucleon mass “data” presented in Sections 4 and 5 of our paper [M.R. Schindler, D.R. Phillips, Ann. Phys. 324 (2009) 682. Available from: <hep-ph/0808.3643>]. We present the corrected results and discuss the implications. We stress that the material presented in Sections 1–3 of our paper [M.R. Schindler, D.R. Phillips, Ann. Phys. 324 (2009) 682. Available from: <hep-ph/0808.3643>] is unaffected.     

CW-Cavity Ring Down spectroscopy of O3. Part 1: Experiment and analysis of the 6200-6400 cm spectral region

The absorption spectrum of the ¹⁸O₃ isotopologue of ozone has been recorded in the 6200-6400 cm⁻¹ region by high sensitivity CW-Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy. The spectrum is dominated by the 2ν₁ + 5ν₃ and 2ν₁ + 3ν₂ + 3ν₃ bands at 6270.6 and 6392.2 cm⁻¹, respectively which were treated independently. The rovibrational analysis of the 2ν₁ + 5ν₃ band has evidenced that the (2 0 5) upper state is perturbed by Coriolis resonance interactions with the (0 1 6), (3 0 4) and (3 5 0) states. A total of 659, 89, 131 and 5 transitions were assigned to the 2ν₁ + 5ν₃, ν₂ + 6ν₃, 3ν₁ + 4ν₃ and 3ν₁ + 5ν₂ bands, respectively. In the case of the 2ν₁ + 3ν₂ + 3ν₃ band, 344 transitions were assigned. Some of them were found perturbed by a Coriolis interaction of the (2 3 3) state with the (5 2 0) state.Overall, 681 energy levels were derived from the analysis of the 2ν₁ + 5ν₃ and 2ν₁ + 3ν₂ + 3ν₃ band systems. In both cases, a suitable effective Hamiltonian was elaborated, allowing accounting satisfactorily for the retrieved rovibrational energy levels. In addition, dipole transition moment parameters were determined by a least-squares fit to the measured line intensities. The effective Hamiltonian and transition moment operator parameters were used to generate a list of 1619 transitions given as Supplementary material.     

CRDS spectroscopy of O3. Part 2: Analysis of six interacting bands between 5930 and 6080 cm

The absorption spectrum of ¹⁸O₃ has been recorded in the 5930-6080 cm⁻¹ region using CW-Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy. 1888 transitions belonging to five bands have been assigned. Three of them are A-type bands: 2ν₂ + 5ν₃, ν₁ + ν₂ + 5ν₃ and 5ν₁ + ν₃, and two bands are of B-type: 2ν₁ + ν₂ + 4ν₃ and 4ν₁ + 3ν₂. Despite a complex spectral pattern perturbed by many rovibrational resonances, it has been possible to find a suitable effective Hamiltonian model reproducing all the transition wavenumbers (corresponding to 1016 energy levels) with an rms deviation of 9.5 × 10⁻³ cm⁻¹. A set of 721 line intensities was determined and fitted to derive the effective transition moment parameters. This set of parameters and the experimental energy levels were used to generate a complete line list of 2795 transitions allowing to generate synthetic spectrum in good agreement with the experimental spectrum.     

Lattice simulations for few- and many-body systems

We review the recent literature on lattice simulations for few- and many-body systems. We focus on methods that combine the framework of effective field theory with computational lattice methods. Lattice effective field theory is discussed for cold atoms as well as low-energy nucleons with and without pions. A number of different lattice formulations and computational algorithms are considered, and an effort is made to show common themes in studies of cold atoms and low-energy nuclear physics as well as common themes in work by different collaborations.     

Effective elastic properties of piezoelectric composites with radially polarized cylinders

Effective elastic properties of piezoelectric composites containing an infinitely long, radially polarized cylinder embedded in an isotropic non-piezoelectric matrix are theoretically investigated under an external strain field. Analytical solutions of elastic displacement and electric potentials are exactly derived, and the effective elastic responses are formulated in the dilute limit. Meanwhile, a vanishing piezoelectric response mechanism is revealed in the piezoelectric composite containing radially polarized cylinders. Furthermore, it is shown that the effective elastic properties can be enhanced (or reduced) due to the increase of the piezoelectric (or dielectric) constants of the cylinders.     

Fe48Co52 Alloy Nanowire Arrays: Effects of Magnetic Field Annealing

详细研究了磁场退火对于具有不同线间距(30～60 nm)和不同线直径(22～46 nm)的Fe48Co52合金纳米线阵列性能的影响．研究表明,退火过程中沿纳米线方向施加3kOe的磁场对于阵列的最佳退火温度和晶体结构以及线直径较小或线间距较大阵列的磁性能均无明显影响．但是对于具有较大线直径或较小线间距的阵列,这种磁场退火处理限制了其易磁化方向的转动并明显提高了其矫顽力与矩形度．认为不同阵列内部有效各向异性场强度之间所存在的差异是导致磁场退火后阵列磁性能出现不同变化的主要原因．

Phase transition and magnetic properties of a decorated Ising film: Monte Carlo and effective field treatments

A Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) has been used to study critical behavior and magnetic properties of a decorated Ising film on a cubic lattice structure. The system consists of two magnetic atoms species A and B with and , where the B sites decorate the bonds between A sites. The dependence of the phase diagram on the axial zero-field splitting parameter, the exchange interactions and the thickness of the film are studied. We found that the system exhibits a double reentrant phenomenon and one or two compensation points. MCS results are compared to those obtained by using the effective field theory (EFT) based on the use of a probability distribution technique. However, MCS predicts the same topology of the phase diagrams as the effective field theory.
