Abstract: We report on the observation of highly anisotropic viscous electronic conducting phase in amorphous WO1.55 films that occurs below a current (I)- and frequency (f)-dependent temperature . At the rotational symmetry of randomly disordered electronic background is broken leading to the appearance of mutually perpendicular metallic- and insulating-like states. A rich dynamic behavior of the electronic matter occurring at provides evidence for an interplay between pinning effects and electron–electron interactions. The results suggest a dynamic crystallization of the disordered electronic matter, viz. formation of sliding Wigner crystal, as well as the occurrence of quantum liquid-like crystal or stripe phase at low drives.

Abstract: Temperature-dependent high-resolution optical spectra of the Er3+ probe ion in DyFe3(BO3)4 and HoFe3(BO3)4 are reported. The data provide the temperature of magnetic ordering and direction of the Fe3+ magnetic moments. Both compounds order magnetically at . The magnetic structure of DyFe3(BO3)4 is of the easy-axis type, while that of HoFe3(BO3)4 is of the easy-plane type. The role of anisotropic interactions between the iron and the rare-earth subsystems is discussed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: The semiclassical limit for Dirac particles interacting with a static gravitational field is investigated. A Foldy–Wouthuysen transformation which diagonalizes at the semiclassical order the Dirac equation for an arbitrary static spacetime metric is realized. In this representation the Hamiltonian provides for a coupling between spin and gravity through the torsion of the gravitational field. In the specific case of a symmetric gravitational field we retrieve the Hamiltonian previously found by other authors. But our formalism provides for another effect, namely, the spin hall effect, which was not predicted before in this context. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: We present a relativistic single particle simulation of vacuum acceleration of an electron by a high-intensity radially polarized laser beam. The inherent complete symmetry of radially polarized laser beam leads to improvement in the trapping and acceleration of an electron so that an electron can be accelerated to the level of GeV. In addition, the external magnetic field further enhances the electron acceleration. Hence, an electron of ultrahigh energy was observed. The strong correlation between final electron energy and scattering angle is discussed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: The decoherence process of a central spin-1/2 particle coupling to the surrounding anisotropy spin-1/2 chain in a transverse field at finite temperature is studied in this Letter. We study the Loschmidt echo(LE) of the central spin when the surrounding spin chain is in the thermal equilibrium state. Our results show that the critical enhanced decay of LE at zero temperature becomes indistinct with the temperature increasing and will be completely washed out when the temperature is high enough.

Abstract: By means of the modified extended tanh-function (METF) method the multiple traveling wave solutions of some different kinds of nonlinear partial differential equations are presented and implemented in a computer algebraic system. The solutions for the nonlinear equations such as variants of the RLW and variant of the PHI-four equations are exactly obtained and so the efficiency of the method can be demonstrated.

Abstract: The structural transition in inner portions of medium-sized silicon clusters has been a puzzle over a decade. By performing extensive search of the “compressing-liquid-silicon” strategy we proposed together with the “stuffing-fullerene” approach, the low-lying structures of () are achieved. We reveal that the surfaces of these low-lying isomers are endohedral silicon fullerenelike cages, and the inner portions evolve from loose patterns to aggregate structures as the cluster size increases. These findings not only imply that the stuffed-cage structures are the preferred growth pattern for still, but also clue that before becoming a bulk pattern, the inner portions of clusters undergo transition states.

Abstract: We present a generalization of the pioneering results obtained for single K-shell photoionization of H-like ions by M. Stobbe [M. Stobbe, Ann. Phys. 7 (1930) 661] to the case of the helium isoelectronic sequence. The total cross section of the process is calculated, taking into account the correlation corrections to first order of the perturbation theory with respect to the electron–electron interaction. Predictions are made for the entire non-relativistic energy domain. The phenomenon of dynamical suppression of correlation effects in the ionization cross section is discussed.

Abstract: We study the flip-processes in a two-level system, which is triggered by the coupling to a classical bath. When the bath is represented by a stochastic field, the time evolution of the density matrix leads to a stochastic equation with a multiplicative noise. Accordingly the Fokker–Planck-equation (FPE) depends on the matrix elements of the underlying density operator. The solution of the FPE can be parametrized in terms of an inherent conserved quantity α, which is interpreted as a measure for the persistence of quantum information. We show that the FPE exhibits a single unique steady state solution different from Boltzmann''s law. The exactly computable discrete spectrum of the relaxation times is characterized by two quantum numbers and the ratio of Planck''s constant and the coupling strength to the bath. The total entropy is analyzed as function of the quantum number α. In case of the system is in a pure state whereas for a mixed state is realized. In case of two, two-level systems, immersed in the common bath, the two noninteracting two-level systems become mutually entangled. The annealed entropy is in that case non-extensive.

Abstract: This Letter presents an adaptive neural network control method for the chaos control problem. Based on a single layer neural network, the dynamic about the unstable fixed period point of the chaotic system can be adaptively identified without detailed information about the chaotic system. And the controlled chaotic system can be stabilized on the unstable fixed period orbit. Simulation results of Henon map and Lorenz system verify the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

Abstract: The harmonic balance (HB) method as an analytical approach is widely used for nonlinear oscillators, in which the initial conditions are generally simplified by setting velocity or displacement to be zero. Based on HB, we establish a new theory to address nonlinear conservative systems with arbitrary initial conditions, and deduce a set of over-determined algebraic equations. Since these deduced algebraic equations are not solved directly, a minimization problem is constructed instead and an iterative algorithm is employed to seek the minimization point. Taking Duffing and Duffing-harmonic equations as numerical examples, we find that these attained solutions are not only with high degree of accuracy, but also uniformly valid in the whole solution domain.

Abstract: We investigate the collective excitations of a one-dimension Bose–Einstein condensate trapped in an anharmonic potential by solving the time-dependent Tonks–Girardeau equation. The governing equations of motions for the low-energy excitations are obtained using variational approaches. The motion of a 1D BEC in a harmonic trap is just like the motion of one particle in a harmonic trap. And quartic distortion of the potential causes the blue-shift and red-shift on the excitation frequency while cube distortion only causes the red-shift. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: The method of self-similar factor approximants is completed by defining the approximants of odd orders, constructed from the power series with the largest term of an odd power. It is shown that the method provides good approximations for transcendental functions. In some cases, just a few terms in a power series make it possible to reconstruct a transcendental function exactly. Numerical convergence of the factor approximants is checked for several examples. A special attention is paid to the possibility of extrapolating the behavior of functions, with arguments tending to infinity, from the related asymptotic series at small arguments. Applications of the method are thoroughly illustrated by the examples of several functions, nonlinear differential equations, and anharmonic models. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: We propose a scheme by which two parties can secretly and simultaneously exchange messages. The scheme requires the two parties to share entanglement and both to perform Bell-state measurements. Only two out of the four Bell states are required to be distinguished in the Bell-state measurements, and thus the scheme is experimentally feasible using only linear optical means. Generalizations of the scheme to high-dimensional systems and to multipartite entanglement are considered. We show also that the proposed scheme works even if the two parties do not possess shared reference frames. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
