Production and detection of atomic hexadecapole at Earth’s magnetic field
2007
We report a novel method that allows selective creation and detection of a macroscopic long lived hexadecapole polarization in the F = 2 ground state of 87Rb atoms at Earth's magnetic field (510 mG).
Highly Correlated Fermi Liquid in Heavy-Fermion Metals: Magnetic Properties
2014
In this chapter we show how the FCQPT theory works, when describing the behavior of HF metals under the application of magnetic field. We show that a large body of experimental data regarding the thermodynamic, transport and relaxation properties collected in measurements on HF metals can be well explained. It is demonstrated that the experimental data exhibit the scaling behavior.
Highly Correlated Fermi Liquid in Heavy-Fermion Metals: The Scaling Behavior
2014
In this chapter we show how the FCQPT theory works. We do that on the base of experimentally relevant examples. Namely, as noted in the Introduction (Chap. 1), the challenge for the theories is to explain the scaling behavior of the normalized effective mass \(M^*_N(y)\) displayed in Fig. 1.3. The theories analyzing only the critical exponents characterizing \(M^*_N(y)\) at \(y\gg 1\) consider only a part of the problem. In this section we analyze and derive the scaling behavior of the normalized effective mass near QCP as reported in Fig. 1.3. We start with describing magnetic field dependence of the quasiparticle effective mass in Sect. 6.1. Quasiparticle damping and the temperature depen…
Mo̸ller polarimetry with polarized atomic hydrogen at MESA
2013
A new generation of parity violation (PV) electron scattering experiments are planned to be carried out at the Institut fur Kernphysik in Mainz. These experiments will be performed at low energies of 100-200 MeV using the new accelerator MESA (Mainz Energy recovering Superconducting Accelerator). One of the main challenges of such experiments is to achieve an accuracy in beam polarization measurements that must be below 0.5%. This very high accuracy can be reached using polarized atomic hydrogen gas, stored in an ultra-cold magnetic trap, as the target for electron beam polarimetry based on Mo/ller scattering. Electron spin-polarized atomic hydrogen can be stored at high densities of 1016 c…
Giant Negative Magnetoresistance Driven by Spin-Orbit Coupling at theLaAlO3/SrTiO3Interface
2015
The LaAlO3=SrTiO3 interface hosts a two-dimensional electron system that is unusually sensitive to the application of an in-plane magnetic field. Low-temperature experiments have revealed a giant negative magnetoresistance (dropping by 70%), attributed to a magnetic-field induced transition between interacting phases of conduction electrons with Kondo-screened magnetic impurities. Here we report on experiments over a broad temperature range, showing the persistence of the magnetoresistance up to the 20 K range—indicative of a single-particle mechanism. Motivated by a striking correspondence between the temperature and carrier density dependence of our magnetoresistance measurements we propo…
Resonant Tunneling in 2D Waveguides in Magnetic Field
2021
Chapter 7 presents an asymptotic and numerical studies of resonant tunneling in a two-dimensional waveguide with two-narrows in magnetic field. It is supposed that the electron energy is between the first and the second thresholds.
Prototype of an angular-selective photoelectron calibration source for the KATRIN experiment
2010
The method of direct neutrino mass determination based on the kinematics of tritium beta decay, which is adopted by the KATRIN experiment, makes use of a large, high-resolution electrostatic spectrometer with magnetic adiabatic collimation. In order to target a sensitivity on the neutrino mass of 0.2 eV/c^2, a detailed understanding of the electromagnetic properties of the electron spectrometer is essential, requiring comprehensive calibration measurements with dedicated electron sources. In this paper we report on a prototype of a photoelectron source providing a narrow energy spread and angular selectivity. Both are key properties for the characterisation of the spectrometer. The angular …
A combination intermediate-image magnetic plus Si(Li) electron spectrometer for in-beam experiments
1979
Abstract A magnetic lens plus Si(Li) combination in-beam beta spectrometer with focusing properties and field shape similar to those of an intermediate-image spectrometer is described. A high transmission and a large momentum band-width are achieved by placing both the target and the detector in a high magnetic field inside the lens. The beam enters the lens axially, and the Faraday cup is placed inside the lens. The spectrometer is well suited to singles conversion-electron spectroscopy, to electron-heavy particle coincidence measurements, to lifetime measurements and to studies of internal-pair transitions.
Probing the Equation of State of Ultradense Matter with a Submillisecond Pulsar Search Experiment
1997
Current ideas about the equation of state for the ultradense matter constituting neutron stars provide models with a range of neutron star radii for a given mass. This implies different estimates for the maximum angular velocity that such an object could attain. The fastest and the slowest angular velocity differ by a significant amount, depending on the equation of state adopted. In particular, the identification of a submillisecond pulsar would allow us to constrain the equation of state of dense matter. In this paper, we discuss a possible evolutionary scenario resulting in a submillisecond pulsar, taking into account current ideas about the evolution of the magnetic field of neutron sta…
A multispacecraft analysis of a small-scale transient entrained by solar wind streams
2009
The images taken by the Heliospheric Imagers (HIs), part of the SECCHI imaging package onboard the pair of STEREO spacecraft, provide information on the radial and latitudinal evolution of the plasma compressed inside corotating interaction regions (CIRs). A plasma density wave imaged by the HI instrument onboard STEREO-B was found to propagate towards STEREO-A, enabling a comparison between simultaneous remote-sensing and in situ observations of its structure to be performed. In situ measurements made by STEREO-A show that the plasma density wave is associated with the passage of a CIR. The magnetic field compressed after the CIR stream interface (SI) is found to have a planar distribution…
