Anomalous critical point behavior in dilute magnetic semiconductor (Ca,Na)(Zn,Mn)2Sb2

In this paper we report successful synthesis and magnetic properties of (Ca,Na)(Zn,Mn)2Sb2 as a new ferromagnetic dilute magnetic semiconductor (DMS). In this DMS material the concentration of magnetic moments can be controlled independently from the concentration of electric charge carriers that are required for mediating magnetic interactions between these moments. This feature allows us to separately investigate the effect of carriers and of spins on the ferromagnetic properties of this new DMS alloy, and particularly of the critical ferromagnetic behavior. We use modified Arrott plot technique to establish critical exponents b, g, and d of this alloy. We find that at low Mn concentrations (< 10 at.%), it is governed by short-range 3D-Ising behavior, with experimental values of b, g, and d very close to theoretical 3D-Ising values of 0.325, 1.24, and 4.815. However, as the Mn concentration increases, this DMS material exhibits a mixed-phase behavior, with g retaining its 3D-Ising characteristics, but b crossing over to longer-range mean-field behavior.

A substantial increase of Curie temperature in a new type of diluted magnetic semiconductors via effects of chemical pressure

Chemical pressure is an effective method to tune physical properties, particularly for diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) of which ferromagnetic ordering is mediated by charge carriers. Via substitution of smaller Ca for larger Sr, we introduce chemical pressure on (Sr,Na)(Cd,Mn)2As2 to fabricate a new DMS material (Ca,Na)(Cd,Mn)2As2. Carriers and spins are introduced by substitutions of (Ca,Na) and (Cd,Mn) respectively. The unit cell volume reduces by 6.2% after complete substitution of Ca for Sr, suggesting a subsistent chemical pressure. Importantly the local geometry of [Cd/MnAs4] tetrahedron is optimized via chemical compression that increases the Mn-As hybridization leading to enhanced ferromagnetic interactions. As a result, the maximum Curie temperature (TC) is increased by about 50% while the the maximum saturation moment increases by over 100% from (Sr,Na)(Cd,Mn)2As2 to (Ca,Na)(Cd,Mn)2As2. The chemical pressure estimated from the equation of state is equal to an external physical pressure of 3.6 GPa.

An exact black hole spacetime with scalar field and its shadow together with quasinormal modes

We find an exact black hole solution with a minimally coupled scalar field. The corresponding spacetime has two horizons and one of the them is the black hole event horizon and the other is the cosmic horizon. In this sense, the solution is analogous to the Schwarzschild-de Sitter (or anti-de Sitter) spacetime. We investigate the thermodynamics and construct the first law of thermodynamics. At the same time, we make a study on the shadow and quasinormal modes of this black hole solution.

Gravity, matters and dark energy on the minimal surfaces

We propose gravity, matters and dark energy may be confined on different four dimensional \emph{minimal surfaces} for the observer in five dimensional spacetime. Following this idea, we construct the equations of motion when gravity, matters and dark energy are confined on different minimal surfaces. Then in the background of Friedman-Robertson-Walker universe, we investigate the cosmic evolution when gravity and quintessence are confined on the minimal surfaces.

Exact black hole solutions with non-linear electrodynamic field

We construct exact black hole solutions to Einstein gravity with nonlinear electrodynamic field. In these solutions, there are in general four parameters. They are physical mass, electric charge, cosmological constant and the coupling constant. Due to the presence of coupling constant, these solutions differ significantly from the Reissner-Nordstrom-de Sitter solution in Einstein-Maxwell gravity with a cosmological constant. In the first place, some of them are endowed with a topological defect on angle $θ$. Secondly, for the extreme charged black holes, the electric charge can be much larger or much smaller than the mass by varying the coupling constant. Thirdly, for very large coupling constant, the radius of event horizon for some black holes approaches $2M$ regardless of the electric charge. Lastly, some black holes are asymptotically neither flat nor de Sitter (or anti-de Sitter).

Quansinormal modes of static and spherically symmetric black holes with the derivative coupling

We investigate the quasinormal modes of a class of static and spherically symmetric black holes with the derivative coupling. The derivative coupling has rarely been paid attention to the study of black hole quasinormal modes. Specifically, we study the effect of derivative coupling on the quasinormal modes for four kinds of black holes. They are Reissner-Nordstrom black holes, Bardeen black holes, noncommunicative geometry inspired black holes and dilaton black holes. These black holes are not the solutions of vacuum Einstein equations which guarantees the effect of derivative coupling is not trivial. We find the influence of derivative coupling on the quasinormal modes roughly mimics the overtone numbers. In other words, there is a qualitative similarity in the trend of quasinormal modes frequencies due to increasing either the coupling constant and the overtone number.

On static and spherically symmetric solutions of Starobinsky model

We investigate the problem of static and spherically symmetric solutions in the Starobinsky gravity model. By extending the Lichnerowicz and Israel theorems, William Nelson have demonstrated that the Schwarzschild solution is the unique static, spherically symmetric, and asymptotically flat black hole solution in the Starobinsky model. However, Hong L{ü} et al find that there are sign errors in the proof of Nelson. This raises the problem whether Nelson's proof is correct or not. In order to answer this question, we explore the corresponding solutions by using the Taylor series expansion method. We find that Nelson's conclusion is indeed correct despite the flaw in the proof.

Black hole and cosmos with multiple horizons and multiple singularities in vector-tensor theories

A stationary and spherically symmetric black hole (For example, Reissner-Nordstrom black hole or Kerr-Newman black hole) has at most one singularity and two horizons. One horizon is the outer event horizon and the other is the inner Cauchy horizon. Can we construct static and spherically symmetric black hole solutions with N horizons and M singularities? De Sitter cosmos has only one apparent horizon. Can we construct cosmos solutions with N horizons? In this article, we present the static and spherically symmetric black hole and cosmos solutions with N horizons and M singularities in the vector-tensor theories. Following these motivations, we also construct the black hole solutions with a firewall. The deviation of these black hole solutions from the usual ones can be potentially tested by future measurements of gravitational waves.

Out-of-plane easy-axis in thin films of diluted magnetic semiconductor Ba1-xKx(Zn1-yMny)2As2

Single-phased, single-oriented thin films of Mn-doped ZnAs-based diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) Ba1-xKx(Zn1-yMny)2As2 (x = 0.03, 0.08; y = 0.15) have been deposited on Si, SrTiO3, LaAlO3, (La,Sr)(Al,Ta)O3, and MgAl2O4 substrates, respectively. Utilizing a combined synthesis and characterization system excluding the air and further optimizing the deposition parameters, high-quality thin films could be obtained and be measured showing that they can keep inactive-in-air up to more than 90 hours characterized by electrical transport measurements. In comparison with films of x = 0.03 which possess relatively higher resistivity, weaker magnetic performances, and larger energy gap, thin films of x = 0.08 show better electrical and magnetic performances. Strong magnetic anisotropy was found in films of x = 0.08 grown on (La,Sr)(Al,Ta)O3 substrate with their magnetic polarization aligned almost solely on the film growth direction.

Occupation times of general Lévy processes

For an arbitrary Lévy process $X$ which is not a compound Poisson process, we are interested in its occupation times. We use a quite novel and useful approach to derive formulas for the Laplace transform of the joint distribution of $X$ and its occupation times. Our formulas are compact, and more importantly, the forms of the formulas clearly demonstrate the essential quantities for the calculation of occupation times of $X$. It is believed that our results are important not only for the study of stochastic processes, but also for financial applications.

Increasing Compression Ratio of Low Complexity Compressive Sensing Video Encoder with Application-Aware Configurable Mechanism

With the development of embedded video acquisition nodes and wireless video surveillance systems, traditional video coding methods could not meet the needs of less computing complexity any more, as well as the urgent power consumption. So, a low-complexity compressive sensing video encoder framework with application-aware configurable mechanism is proposed in this paper, where novel encoding methods are exploited based on the practical purposes of the real applications to reduce the coding complexity effectively and improve the compression ratio (CR). Moreover, the group of processing (GOP) size and the measurement matrix size can be configured on the encoder side according to the post-analysis requirements of an application example of object tracking to increase the CR of encoder as best as possible. Simulations show the proposed framework of encoder could achieve 60X of CR when the tracking successful rate (SR) is still keeping above 90%.
