Photometric And Spectroscopic Studies Of V582 Lyr And V1016 Oph, Yao Cheng, Li-Yun Zhang, Xianming L. Han, Liu Long, Hongpeng Lu, Qiang Yue, Linyan Jiang

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

We present new CCD photometric light curves about two eclipsing binaries of V582 Lyr and V1016 Oph. Our observations were carried out by the SARA 91.4 cm telescope of America in 2016 and the 60 cm telescope of Chile in 2018. V582 Lyr’s spectra type was classified as K5, and its radial velocity was determined using the LAMOST spectral survey. There are absorptions in the observed Hα line and excess emissions in the subtracted Hα line, which show weak chromospheric activity. We obtained the updated ephemeris information for V582 Lr and V1016 Oph, and found that their orbital periods are …

Magnetic Activities Of M-Type Stars Based On Lamost Dr5 And Kepler And K2 Missions, Hong-Peng Lu, Li-Yun Zhang, Jianrong Shi, Xianming L. Han1, Dongwei Fan, Liu Long, Qingfeng Pi

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

We performed a statistical study of magnetic activities of M-type stars by combining the spectra of LAMOST DR5 with light curves from the Kepler and K2 missions. We mainly want to study the relationship between chromospheric activity and flares, and their relations of magnetic activity and rotation period. We have obtained the maximum catalog of 516,688 M-type stellar spectra of 480,912 M stars from LAMOST DR5 and calculated their equivalent widths of chromospheric activity indicators (Hα, Hβ, Hγ, Hδ, Ca II H&K, and He I D3). Using the Hα indicator, 40,464 spectra of 38,417 M stars show chromospheric activity, and …


Universal Electric Current Of Interacting Resonant-Level Models With Asymmetric Interactions: An Extension Of The Landauer Formula, Akinori Nishino, Naomichi Hatano, Gonzalo Ordonez Jan 2015

Universal Electric Current Of Interacting Resonant-Level Models With Asymmetric Interactions: An Extension Of The Landauer Formula, Akinori Nishino, Naomichi Hatano, Gonzalo Ordonez

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

We study the electron transport in open quantum-dot systems described by the interacting resonant-level models with Coulomb interactions. We consider the situation in which the quantum dot is connected to the left and right leads asymmetrically. We exactly construct many-electron scattering eigenstates for the two-lead system, where two-body bound states appear as a consequence of one-body resonances and the Coulomb interactions. By using an extension of the Landauer formula, we calculate the average electric current for the system under bias voltages in the first order of the interaction parameters. Through a renormalization-group technique, we arrive at the universal electric current, …


Optically Tunable Bound States In The Continuum, Yingyue Boretz, Gonzalo Ordonez, Satoshi Tanaka, Tomio Petrosky Jan 2014

Optically Tunable Bound States In The Continuum, Yingyue Boretz, Gonzalo Ordonez, Satoshi Tanaka, Tomio Petrosky

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

We demonstrate the existence of tunable bound states in the continuum (BICs) in a one-dimensional quantum wire with two impurities induced by an intense monochromatic radiation field. We find that there is an interesting type of BIC due to the Fano interference between two optical transition channels, in addition to the ordinary BIC due to geometrical interference between electron wave functions emitted by impurities. In both cases the BIC can be achieved by tuning the frequency of the radiation field. Evidence of the BIC can be obtained by observing the absorption rate of a probe photon.


Time-Reversal Symmetric Resolution Of Unity Without Background Integrals In Open Quantum Systems, Naomichi Hatano, Gonzalo Ordonez Jan 2014

Time-Reversal Symmetric Resolution Of Unity Without Background Integrals In Open Quantum Systems, Naomichi Hatano, Gonzalo Ordonez

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

We present a new complete set of states for a class of open quantum systems, to be used in expansion of the Green’s function and the time-evolution operator. A remarkable feature of the complete set is that it observes time-reversal symmetry in the sense that it contains decaying states (resonant states) and growing states (anti-resonant states) parallelly. We can thereby pinpoint the occurrence of the breaking of time-reversal symmetry at the choice of whether we solve Schrödinger equation as an initial-condition problem or a terminal-condition problem. Another feature of the complete set is that in the subspace of the central …


Phase Diagram Of The One-Dimensional Hubbard-Holstein Model At Half And Quarter Filling, Rahul Hardikar, R. T. Clay Jan 2007

Phase Diagram Of The One-Dimensional Hubbard-Holstein Model At Half And Quarter Filling, Rahul Hardikar, R. T. Clay

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

The Hubbard-Holstein model is one of the simplest to incorporate both electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions. In one dimension at half filling, the Holstein electron-phonon coupling promotes on-site pairs of electrons and a Peierls charge-density wave, while the Hubbard on-site Coulomb repulsion U promotes antiferromagnetic correlations and a Mott insulating state. Recent numerical studies have found a possible third intermediate phase between Peierls and Mott states. From direct calculations of charge and spin susceptibilities, we show that (i) as the electron-phonon coupling is increased, first a spin gap opens, followed by the Peierls transition. Between these two transitions, the metallic intermediate …


Electron Trapping In A One-Dimensional Semiconductor Quantum Wire With Multiple Impurities, S. Tanaka, S. Garmon, Gonzalo Ordonez, T. Petrosky Jan 2007

Electron Trapping In A One-Dimensional Semiconductor Quantum Wire With Multiple Impurities, S. Tanaka, S. Garmon, Gonzalo Ordonez, T. Petrosky

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

We demonstrate the trapping of a conduction electron between two identical adatom impurities in a one-dimensional semiconductor quantum-dot array system (quantum wire). Bound steady states arise even when the energy of the adatom impurity is located in the continuous one-dimensional energy miniband. The steady state is a realization of the bound state in continuum (BIC) phenomenon first proposed by von Neuman and Wigner [Phys. Z. 30, 465 (1929)]. We analytically solve the dispersion equation for this localized state, which enables us to reveal the mechanism of the BIC. The appearance of the BIC state is attributed to the quantum …


Temperature-Driven Transition From The Wigner Crystal To The Bond-Charge-Density Wave In The Quasi-One-Dimensional Quarter-Filled Band, R. T. Clay, Rahul Hardikar, S. Mazumdar Jan 2007

Temperature-Driven Transition From The Wigner Crystal To The Bond-Charge-Density Wave In The Quasi-One-Dimensional Quarter-Filled Band, R. T. Clay, Rahul Hardikar, S. Mazumdar

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

It is known that within the interacting electron model Hamiltonian for the one-dimensional 1/4-filled band, the singlet ground state is a Wigner crystal only if the nearest-neighbor electron-electron repulsion is larger than a critical value. We show that this critical nearest-neighbor Coulomb interaction is different for each spin subspace, with the critical value decreasing with increasing spin. As a consequence, with the lowering of temperature, there can occur a transition from a Wigner crystal charge-ordered state to a spin-Peierls state that is a bond-charge-density wave with charge occupancies different from the Wigner crystal. This transition is possible because spin excitations …


Monte Carlo Least-Squares Fitting Of Experimental Signal Waveforms, Xianming Han, Vladimir Pozdina, C. Haridas, Prabhakar Misra Jan 2006

Monte Carlo Least-Squares Fitting Of Experimental Signal Waveforms, Xianming Han, Vladimir Pozdina, C. Haridas, Prabhakar Misra

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

This paper focuses on why the regular least{squares ¯tting technique is unstable when used to ¯t exponential functions to signal waveforms, since such functions are highly correlated. It talks about alternative approaches, such as the search method, which has a slow convergence rate of 1=N1=M, for M parameters, where N is the number of computations performed. We have used the Monte Carlo method, utilizing both search and random walk, to devise a stable least{squares ¯tting algorithm that converges rapidly at a rate 1=N1=2, regardless of the number of parameters used in ¯tting the waveforms. The Monte Carlo approach has been …


Bound States In The Continuum In Quantum-Dot Pairs, Gonzalo Ordonez, Kyungsun Na, Sungyun Kim Jan 2006

Bound States In The Continuum In Quantum-Dot Pairs, Gonzalo Ordonez, Kyungsun Na, Sungyun Kim

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

It is shown that for two open quantum dots connected by a wire, “bound states in the continuum” of a single electron are formed at nearly periodic distances between the dots. This is due to Fabry-Pérot interference between quasibound states in each dot. The bound states are nonlocal, describing the electron trapped in both dots at the same time. Theoretical and numerical results show that trapped states exist even if the wire connecting the dots is relatively long.


Intermediate Phase Of The One Dimensional Half-Filled Hubbard-Holstein Model, R. T. Clay, Rahul Hardikar Jan 2005

Intermediate Phase Of The One Dimensional Half-Filled Hubbard-Holstein Model, R. T. Clay, Rahul Hardikar

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

We present a numerical study of the Hubbard-Holstein model in one dimension at half filling, including finite-frequency quantum phonons. At half filling, the effects of the electron-phonon and electron-electron interactions compete with the Holstein phonon coupling acting as an effective negative Hubbard on-site interaction U that promotes on-site electron pairs and a Peierls charge-density wave state. Most previous work on this model has assumed that only Peierls or Mott phases are possible at half filling. However, there has been speculation that a third metallic phase exists between the Peierls and Mott phases. We confirm the intermediate phase, and show that …


Superfluorescence Polarization: Signature Of Collisional Redistribution, A. Kumarakrishnan, S. Chudasama, Xianming Han Jan 2003

Superfluorescence Polarization: Signature Of Collisional Redistribution, A. Kumarakrishnan, S. Chudasama, Xianming Han

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

We have studied effects of magnetic sublevel degeneracy on the polarization of superfluorescent pulses generated on the Ca 4s4p1P1–3d4s1D2 transition at 5.5μm. These pulses were generated from a cell of length 50 cm by optically pumping calcium vapor on the 4s21S0–4s4p1P1 transition in the presence of Ar gas. The axis of ellipticity of superfluorescence (SF) polarization is oriented parallel to the axis of the pump-laser polarization at large detunings, and undergoes an abrupt rotation through 90° for detunings close to resonance. The distribution of populations in the magnetic sublevels of the 1P1 state can be estimated using a simple model …


Superfluorescence From Optically Trapped Calcium Atoms, Xianming Han Jan 1998

Superfluorescence From Optically Trapped Calcium Atoms, Xianming Han

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

We have studied superfluorescence (SF) under highly unfavorable conditions of rapid collisional and radiative distribution in a Doppler-broadened medium. Nanosecond SF pulses at 5.5 μm were generated on the Ca 4s4p1P1–3d4s1D2 transition from a column of calcium vapor buffered with Ar by optically pumping the 4s21S0–4s4p1P1 transition. The Rabi frequency associated with the intense pump pulse prevents the occurrence of SF while the pump laser is on. As a result, the predicted scaling laws that describe the properties of SF in a transversely excited system, such as peak heights, pulse widths, and delay times, are shown to apply in our …


Magnetic-Field-Induced Alignment-To-Orientation Conversion In Sodium, G. W. Schinn, Xianming Han Jan 1991

Magnetic-Field-Induced Alignment-To-Orientation Conversion In Sodium, G. W. Schinn, Xianming Han

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

We report a detailed investigation of excited-state alignment-to-orientation conversion in the presence of an external magnetic field. This counterintuitive phenomenon occurs under intermediate-coupling conditions. A weak, linearly polarized, cw laser beam was used to excite and align the Na 3P3/2 state in an atomic beam along the z direction. The degree of circular polarization of the resulting fluorescence was detected along the z direction as a function of magnetic-field strength. The spectrally integrated transitions originating from individual F levels of the 3S1/2 state yield a maximum circular-polarization fraction of ∼40%; integrating the circular polarization over all the allowed 3S1/2-3P3/2 transitions …


Fine‐Structure Mixing Within The Zn(43pj) Multiplet By Collisions With The Noble Gases, Xianming Han, J. F. Kelly Jan 1991

Fine‐Structure Mixing Within The Zn(43pj) Multiplet By Collisions With The Noble Gases, Xianming Han, J. F. Kelly

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

Measurements of rate coefficients for intramultiplet state transfer of Zn(4 3 P 1→4 3 P J) by collisions with the rare gases are presented. The state‐to‐state binary rate coefficients are derived from least‐squares fittings of the time‐resolved triexponential behavior of the 4 3 P 1fluorescence. These rate coefficients were studied systematically over a temperature range of 690–1100 K in order to characterize the velocity dependence of the collisional coupling. The systematic behavior of the rate coefficients with varying temperature and noble gas species is qualitatively consistent with a nearly adiabatic coupling limit for noncrossing levels.


Differential, Partial Cross Sections For Electron Excitation Of The Sodium 3p State, Xianming Han, G. W. Schwinn, A. Gallagher Jan 1990

Differential, Partial Cross Sections For Electron Excitation Of The Sodium 3p State, Xianming Han, G. W. Schwinn, A. Gallagher

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

Using a powerful laser-based experimental method, the cross section for electron excitation of Na(3S) atoms to the Na(3P) state has been decomposed into partial components with respect to changes in the spin and angular momentum of the atomic electron, and these partial cross sections are further reduced to their differential character with respect to the electron scattering angle. Partial, differential cross sections are reported for electron collision energies from threshold 2.1 to 3.6 eV, and compared to available calculations.

Spin-Exchange Cross Section For Electron Excitation Of Na 3s 3p Determined By A Novel Spectroscopic Technique, Xianming Han, G. W. Schwinn, A. Gallagher

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

An experimental technique is described which enables determination of the partial cross sections for electron excitation of atoms as a function of changes in spin and orbital angular momentum. This method provides a good signal-to-noise ratio in the energy region near threshold, and could be used to study long- or short-lived excited states of many atomic systems. Measurements for Na 3S−3P, near-threshold excitation are reported here. The results are generally in good agreement with the close-coupling calculations of D. L. Moores and D. W. Norcross [J. Phys. B 5, 1482 (1972)] for the largest ΔmS and ΔmL components of …
