Studies of the resonance structure inD0→KS0K±π∓decays
2016
Amplitude models are constructed to describe the resonance structure of D0→ K-π+π+π- and D0→ K+π-π-π+ decays using pp collision data collected at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV with the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb- 1. The largest contributions to both decay amplitudes are found to come from axial resonances, with decay modes D0→ a1(1260) +K- and D0→ K1(1270 / 1400) +π- being prominent in D0→ K-π+π+π- and D0→ K+π-π-π+, respectively. Precise measurements of the lineshape parameters and couplings of the a1(1260) +, K1(1270) - and K(1460) - resonances are made, and a quasi model-independent study of the K(1460) - resonance is performed. The coher…
An FPGA based demonstrator for a topological processor in the future ATLAS L1-Calo trigger “GOLD”
2012
Abstract: The existing ATLAS trigger consists of three levels. The level 1 (L1) is an FPGAs based custom designed trigger, while the second and third levels are software based. The LHC machine plans to bring the beam energy to the maximum value of 7 TeV and to increase the luminosity in the coming years. The current L1 trigger system is therefore seriously challenged. To cope with the resulting higher event rate, as part of the ATLAS trigger upgrade, a new electronics module is foreseen to be added in the ATLAS Level-1 Calorimeter Trigger electronics chain: the Topological Processor (TP). Such a processor needs fast optical I/O and large aggregate bandwidth to use the information on trigger…
Measurement of the Inelastic Proton-Proton Cross Section at s=13 TeV with the ATLAS Detector at the LHC
2016
This Letter presents a measurement of the inelastic proton-proton cross section using 60 μb^{-1} of pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy sqrt[s] of 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Inelastic interactions are selected using rings of plastic scintillators in the forward region (2.07 10^{-6}, where M_{X} is the larger invariant mass of the two hadronic systems separated by the largest rapidity gap in the event. In this ξ range the scintillators are highly efficient. For diffractive events this corresponds to cases where at least one proton dissociates to a system with M_{X}>13 GeV. The measured cross section is compared with a range of theoretical predictions. When extrapolated…
Exciton hopping inInxGa1−xNmultiple quantum wells
2005
The dynamics of photoexcited excitons in thin $\mathrm{In}\mathrm{Ga}\mathrm{N}∕\mathrm{Ga}\mathrm{N}$ multiple quantum wells (QW's) with different In contents was studied by comparing the experimental data obtained by photoluminescence (PL), PL excitation, and photoreflectance spectroscopy techniques with the results of Monte Carlo simulations of exciton hopping. The temperature dependence of the PL linewidth was demonstrated to be in a fair agreement with the model of phonon-assisted exciton in-plane hopping within In-rich regions with inhomogeneous broadening taken into account. The band potential fluctuations, which scale the dispersion of localized states the excitons are hopping over,…
Spin-order dependent anomalous Hall effect and magneto-optical effect in the noncollinear antiferromagnets Mn3XN with X=Ga , Zn, Ag, or Ni
2019
The anomalous Hall effect (AHE) and the magneto-optical effect (MOE) are two prominent manifestations of time-reversal symmetry breaking in magnetic materials. Noncollinear antiferromagnets (AFMs) have recently attracted a lot of attention owing to the potential emergence of exotic spin orders on geometrically frustrated lattices, which can be characterized by corresponding spin chiralities. By performing first-principles density functional calculations together with group-theory analysis and tight-binding modeling, here we systematically study the spin-order dependent AHE and MOE in representative noncollinear AFMs ${\mathrm{Mn}}_{3}X\mathrm{N}\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}(X=\mathrm{Ga}$, Zn, …
Energy- and k -resolved mapping of the magnetic circular dichroism in threshold photoemission from Co films on Pt(111)
2017
The magnetic circular dichroism in threshold photoemission (TPMCD) for perpendicularly magnetized fcc Co films on Pt(111) has been revisited. A complete mapping of the spectral function $I({E}_{B},{k}_{x},{k}_{y})$ (binding energy ${E}_{B}$, momentum parallel to surface ${k}_{x}$, ${k}_{y}$) and the corresponding TPMCD asymmetry distribution ${A}_{\mathrm{MCD}}({E}_{B},{k}_{x},{k}_{y})$ has been performed for one-photon and two-photon photoemission using time-of-flight momentum microscopy. The experimental results allow distinguishing direct from indirect transitions. The measurements reveal clear band features of direct transitions from bulk bands that show a nontrivial asymmetry pattern. …
Accurate calculation of the transverse anisotropy of a magnetic domain wall in perpendicularly magnetized multilayers
2015
Bloch domain walls are the most common type of transition between two out-of-plane magnetized domains (one magnetized upwards, one downwards) in films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. The rotation of the spins of such domain walls in the plane of the film requires energy, which is described by an effective anisotropy, the so-called transverse or hard axis anisotropy ${K}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$. This anisotropy and the related D\"oring mass density of the domain wall are key parameters of the one-dimensional model to describe the motion of magnetic domain walls. In particular, the critical field strength or current density where oscillatory domain wall motion sets in (Walker breakdown)…
Electromagnetic Multipole Moments and Transitions
2007
In the preceding chapter we constructed and discussed the simplest possible nuclear wave functions. This construction was done at the mean-field level. No account was taken of configuration mixing caused by the nuclear residual interaction. These simple wave functions produce degeneracies in energy spectra. This is contrary to experimental data, so improved wave functions are called for.
Temperature and pressure dependence of the optical absorption in hexagonal MnTe
2000
The absorption edge of hexagonal (NiAs structure) antiferromagnetic MnTe has been measured by means of light transmission experiments carried out at different temperatures in the range 16--420 K $(P=1\mathrm{bar})$ and hydrostatic pressures up to 9 GPa $(T=295\mathrm{K}).$ An indirect band gap has been found, in agreement with previous band-structure calculations, with an energy of ${E}_{\mathrm{ig}}=1.272\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.013\mathrm{eV}$ at room temperature and pressure. The temperature dependence of the absorption edge is linear above the N\'eel temperature ${T}_{N}=310\mathrm{K},$ with a temperature coefficient $dE/dT=\ensuremath{-}(3.5\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.1)\ifmmode…
Wetting and layering in the nearest-neighbor simple-cubic Ising lattice: A Monte Carlo investigation.
1988
Critical, tricritical, and first-order wetting transitions are studied in a simple-cubic nearest-neighbor Ising model, with exchange J in the bulk and exchange ${J}_{s}$ in the surface planes, by applying suitable bulk and surface fields H and ${H}_{1}$. Monte Carlo calculations are presented for systems of size L\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}L\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}D, in a thin film geometry with D=40 layers and two free L\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}L surfaces, with L ranging from L=10 to L=50. In addition, evidence for prewetting transitions and for layering transitions (the latter occur for temperatures T less than the roughening temperature ${T}_{R}$) is presented. …
