The nonadiabatic general-relativistic stellar oscillations
1990
We have derived the equations which govern the linear nonadiabatic general-relativistic radial oscillations. The perturbation produces a heat flux that is coupled with the geometry, through the Einstein field equations of a stellar configuration. The classical limit is recovered. The stability conditions are examined by means of a simplified one-zone model.
Features of level broadening in a ring-stub system
2000
When a one dimensional (1D) ring-stub system is coupled to an electron reservoir, the states acquire a width (or broadening characterized by poles in the complex energy plane) due to finite life time effects. We show that this broadening is limited by anti-resonances due to the stub. The differences in level broadening in presence and absence of anti-resonance is exemplified by comparison to a 1D ring coupled to an infinite reservoir. We also show that the anti-resonances due to the stub has an anchoring effect on the poles when a magnetic flux through the ring is varied. This will have implication on change in distribution of the poles in disordered multichannel situation as magnetic flux …
Energy spectrum, persistent current and electron localization in quantum rings
2003
Energy spectra of quasi-one-dimensional quantum rings with a few electrons are studied using several different theoretical methods. Discrete Hubbard models and continuum models are shown to give similar results governed by the special features of the one-dimensionality. The energy spectrum of the many-body system can be described with a rotation-vibration spectrum of a 'Wigner molecule' of 'localized' electrons, combined with the spin-state determined from an effective antiferromagnetic Heisenberg Hamiltonian. The persistent current as a function of magnetic flux through the ring shows periodic oscillations arising from the 'rigid rotation' of the electron ring. For polarized electrons the …
Quantum rings for beginners: Energy spectra and persistent currents
2003
Theoretical approaches to one-dimensional and quasi-one-dimensional quantum rings with a few electrons are reviewed. Discrete Hubbard-type models and continuum models are shown to give similar results governed by the special features of the one-dimensionality. The energy spectrum of the many-body states can be described by a rotation-vibration spectrum of a 'Wigner molecule' of 'localized' electrons, combined with the spin-state determined from an effective antiferromagnetic Heisenberg Hamiltonian. The persistent current as a function of the magnetic flux through the ring shows periodic oscillations arising from the 'rigid rotation' of the electron ring. For polarized electrons the periodic…
Experimental investigation of the breakdown of the Onsager-Casimir relations
2006
We use magnetoconductance fluctuation measurements of phase-coherent semiconductor billiards to quantify the contributions to the nonlinear electric conductance that are asymmetric under reversal of magnetic field. We experimentally determine that the average asymmetric contribution is linear in magnetic field (for magnetic flux much larger than one flux quantum) and that its magnitude depends on billiard geometry. In addition, we find an unexpected asymmetry in the power spectrum characteristics of the magnetoconductance with respect to reversal of magnetic field and bias voltage.
Nonlocal effects in superfluid turbulence: Application to the low-density- to high-density-state transition and to vortex decay
2005
We discuss a phenomenological equation for the evolution of vortex tangle in counterflow superfluid turbulence, which takes into account the influence of the nonlocal effects, introducing into the original equation of Vinen two simple corrective terms dependent on a nonvanishing ratio between the average separation between vortex lines and the diameter of the channel. The equation allows one to describe, in relatively good agreement with experimental results, the two turbulent regimes present in counterflow superfluid turbulence and the transition between them. The decay rate of the vortex line density L, when the heat flux is suddenly turned off, is also investigated; due to the simplicity…
Effective thermal conductivity of helium II: from Landau to Gorter–Mellink regimes
2014
The size-dependent and flux-dependent effective thermal conductivity of narrow channels filled with He II is analyzed. The classical Landau evaluation of the effective thermal conductivity of quiescent He II is extended to describe the transition to fully turbulent regime, where the heat flux is proportional to the cubic root of the temperature gradient (Gorter–Mellink regime). To do so, we use an expression for the quantum vortex line density L in terms of the heat flux considering the influence of the walls. From it, and taking into account the friction force of normal component against the vortices, we compute the effective thermal conductivity as a function of the heat flux, and we disc…
A Non-normal-Mode Marginal State of Convection in a Porous Rectangle
2019
Author's accepted manuscript (postprint). This is a post-peer-review, pre-copyedit version of an article published in Transport in Porous Media. The final authenticated version is available online at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11242-019-01263-5. The fourth-order Darcy–Bénard eigenvalue problem for onset of thermal convection in a 2D rectangular porous box is investigated. The conventional type of solution has normal-mode dependency in at least one of the two spatial directions. The present eigenfunctions are of non-normal-mode type in both the horizontal and the vertical direction. A numerical solution is found by the finite element method, since no analytical method is known for this non-…
Local control of domain wall dynamics in ferromagnetic rings
2015
Ferromagnetic nanorings are of great interest due to prospective applications in memory and logic devices based on domain wall (DW) motion.1-3A key-prerequisite for their realization is a reproducible domain wall spin structure with a well-controllable wall velocity. We have found that DW propagation in magnetic ring is characterized by non-constant vortex DW velocity even below Walker breakdown4 (as opposed to straight wires). Several studies have been devoted to the optimization of ring reversal on a global scale using out-of plane field5 or flux charges emanating from neighboring rings if placed in close proximity6. However, these methods involve DW pinning and vortex nucleation processe…
Automotive domain wall propagation in ferromagnetic rings
2015
Automotive domain wall propagation is a self-propelling motion utilizing the energy stored in a particular energy reservoir of the spin structure to speed up domain wall beyond its equilibrium value given by external driving force and damping. Such a concept of DW motion is of great interest due to recent development of spintronic devices based on domain walls, where automotion could be used to assist or prevent domain wall pinning at low driving fields1-2. In turn, most of studies so far have been devoted to the automotion invoked by DW transformations from metastable to stable states3-4; appearing at sufficiently high magnetic fields strong and enough to trigger domain wall spin structure…
