[Science 346 (2014) 602] reveals the existence of the long pursued Ala.jorana bound states (MBSs). We propose that, by mounting two scanning tunneling microscopic tips on top of the topological superconducting chain and measuring the transmission spectrum between these two metallic tips, there are two kinds of characteristics on the spectrum that are caused by A.IBSs uniquely: One is symmetric peaks with respect to zero energy and the other is 4~r period caused by a nearby dosephson junction. The former refers to the fact that MBSs are eomposited by Alajorana fermions which distributed in the particle and hole subspaees equally. The latter is based on the well known 4w period of Josephson effect in topological superconductor. We think that such two characteristics can be used as criteria to distinguish MBSs from other candidates, such as impurities, Kondo effect and traditional Andreev bound states.展开更多

Our system consists of a nanomeehanical resonator, a superconducting flux qubit, and a superconducting transmission line resonator. Using our proposal, one can easily generate the squeezed states of the nanomechanical resonator. In our scheme, the nonlinear interaction between the nanomechanical resonator and the superconducting transmission line resonator can be implemented by the flux qubit as 'nonlinear media' with a tunable Josephson energy. The realization of the nonlinearity does not need any operations on the flux qubit and just needs to adiabatically keep it at the ground state, which can greatly decrease the effect of the decoherenee of the flux qubit on the squeezed ef^ciency.展开更多

In the SQD, the electron is confined both transversally and longitudinally, the motion in the transverse and longitudinal directions is separated by using the adiabatic approximation theory. Meanwhile, the energy levels of the former are considered as the effective confining potential. The numerical calculations are carried out for the SQD consisting of GaAs/InAs material. The obtained results show that the bigger radius of the quantum dot not only leads significantly to the shifts of resonant peaks toward the low-energy region, but also causes the lengthening of the lifetime of resonant state. The lifetime of resonant state can be calculated from the uncertainty principle between the energy half width and lifetime.展开更多

It has been found that a strong impurity potential can significantly restructure the energy dispersion and the density of states of Dirac electrons. An impurity-induced resonant state emerges and significantly modifies the pristine optical response. It is shown that the impurity state disturbs the common longitudinal optical conductivity by creating either an optical conductivity peak or double absorption jumps, depending on the relative position of the impurity band and the Fermi level. More importantly, these conductivity features appear in the forbidden region between the Drude and interband transition, completely or partially filling the Pauli block region of optical response. The underlying physics is that the appearance of resonance states as well as the broadening of the bands leads to a more complicated selection rule for the optical transitions, making it possible to excite new electron-hole pairs in the forbidden region. These features in optical conductivity provide valuable information to understand the impurity behaviors in 3D Dirac materials.展开更多

文摘The exploration of spin symmetry (SS) in nuclear physics has been instrumental in identifying atomic nucleus structures.In this study,we solve the Dirac equation from the relativistic mean field (RMF) in complex momentum representation.We investigated SS and its breaking in single-particle resonant states within deformed nuclei,with a focus on the illustrative nucleus168Er.This was the initial discovery of a resonant spin doublet in a deformed nucleus,with the expectation of the SS approaching the continuum threshold.With increasing single-particle energy,the splitting of the resonant spin doublets widened significantly.This escalating splitting implies diminishing adherence to the SS,indicating a departure from the expected behavior as the energy levels increase.We also analyzed the width of the resonant states,showing that lower orbital angular momentum resonances possess shorter decay times and that SS is preserved within broad resonant doublets,as opposed to narrow resonant doublets.Comparing the radial density of the upper components for the bound-state and resonant-state doublets,it becomes evident that while SS is well-preserved in the bound states,it deteriorates in the resonant states.The impact of nuclear deformation (β_(2)) on SS was examined,demonstrating that an increase in β_(2) resulted in higher energy and width splitting in the resonant spin doublets,which is attributed to increased component mixing.Furthermore,the sensitivity of spin doublets to various potential parameters such as surface diffuseness (a),radius (R),and depth (Σ0) is discussed,emphasizing the role of these parameters in SS.This study provides valuable insights into the behavior of spin doublets in deformed nuclei and their interplay with the nuclear structure,thereby advancing our understanding of SS in the resonance state.

文摘There are still debates on whether the observed zero energy peak in the experiment by Stevan et al. [Science 346 (2014) 602] reveals the existence of the long pursued Ala.jorana bound states (MBSs). We propose that, by mounting two scanning tunneling microscopic tips on top of the topological superconducting chain and measuring the transmission spectrum between these two metallic tips, there are two kinds of characteristics on the spectrum that are caused by A.IBSs uniquely: One is symmetric peaks with respect to zero energy and the other is 4~r period caused by a nearby dosephson junction. The former refers to the fact that MBSs are eomposited by Alajorana fermions which distributed in the particle and hole subspaees equally. The latter is based on the well known 4w period of Josephson effect in topological superconductor. We think that such two characteristics can be used as criteria to distinguish MBSs from other candidates, such as impurities, Kondo effect and traditional Andreev bound states.

文摘BACKGROUND Depression affects more than 350 million people worldwide.In China,4.2%(54 million people)of the total population suffers from depression.Psychotherapy has been shown to change cognition,improve personality,and enhance the ability to cope with difficulties and setbacks.While pharmacotherapy can reduce symptoms,it is also associated with adverse reactions and relapse after drug withdrawal.Therefore,there has been an increasing emphasis placed on the use of non-pharmacological therapies for depression.The hypothesis of this study was that acupuncture at ghost points combined with fluoxetine would be more effective than fluoxetine alone for the treatment of depression.AIM To investigate the efficacy of acupuncture at ghost points combined with fluoxetine for the treatment of patients with depression.METHODS This randomized controlled trial included patients with mild to moderate depression(n=160).Patients received either acupuncture at ghost points combined with fluoxetine(n=80)or fluoxetine alone(control group,n=80).Needles were retained in place for 30 min,5 times a week;three treatment cycles were administered.The Mann–Whitney U test was used to compare functional magnet resonance imaging parameters,Hamilton depression rating scale(HAMD)scores,and self-rating depression scale(SDS)scores between the acupuncture group and control group.RESULTS There were no significant differences in HAMD or SDS scores between the acupuncture group and control group,before or after 4 wk of treatment.The acupuncture group exhibited significantly lower HAMD and SDS scores than the control group after 8 wk of treatment(P<0.05).The acupuncture group had significantly lower fractional Amplitude of Low Frequency Fluctuations values for the left anterior wedge leaf,left posterior cingulate gyrus,left middle occipital gyrus,and left inferior occipital gyrus after 8 wk.The acupuncture group also had significantly higher values for the right inferior frontal gyrus,right insula,and right hippocampus(P<0.05).After 8 wk of treatment,the effective rates of the acupuncture and control groups were 51.25%and 36.25%,respectively(P<0.05).CONCLUSION The study results suggest that acupuncture at ghost points combined with fluoxetine is more effective than fluoxetine alone for the treatment of patients with mild to moderate depression.

In the SQD, the electron is confined both transversally and longitudinally, the motion in the transverse and longitudinal directions is separated by using the adiabatic approximation theory. Meanwhile, the energy levels of the former are considered as the effective confining potential. The numerical calculations are carried out for the SQD consisting of GaAs/InAs material. The obtained results show that the bigger radius of the quantum dot not only leads significantly to the shifts of resonant peaks toward the low-energy region, but also causes the lengthening of the lifetime of resonant state. The lifetime of resonant state can be calculated from the uncertainty principle between the energy half width and lifetime.

文摘The self-consistent quadruple potential is deduced within the relativistic mean-field(RMF)framework and substituted into the Hamiltonian,which is calculated using the complex momentum representation(CMR).Considering even-even titanium isotopes as an example,this study investigated various properties,including the resonant states of neutron-rich nuclei in the RMF-CMR model,and used them to describe the binding energy.The abrupt decrease in the two-neutron separation energy(S_(2n))corresponds to the traditional magic number.The resonant and bound states are simultaneously exposed in the complex moment plane,where the continuum is along the integration contour.The four oblate neutron-rich nuclei^(72-78)Ti are weakly bound or resonant because their Fermi energies are approximately 0 MeV.The root-meansquare(RMS)radii of these nuclei increase suddenly compared with those of others(neutron number N<48).Moreover,^(78)Ti and^(76)Ti are determined as drip-line nucleons by the value of S_(2n) and the energy levels,respectively.Finally,the weak-bounded character can be represented by diffuse density probability distributions.
文摘Different causative factors acting on the pancreas can result in diseases such as pancreatitis, diabetes and pancreatic tumors. The high incidence and mortality of pancreatic diseases have placed diagnostic imaging in a crucial position in daily clinical practice. In this minireview article different pancreatic imaging techniques are discussed, from the standard clinical imaging modalities and state of the art clinical magnetic resonance imaging techniques to current situations in pre-clinical pancreatic imaging studies. In particular, the challenges of pre-clinical rodent pancreatic imaging are addressed, with both the image acquisition techniques and the post-processing methods for rodent pancreatic imaging elaborated.

文摘A^(6)Li(^(16)O,^(19)Ne^(∗))^(3)H multi-nucleon transfer-reaction experiment was performed to populate the highly excited states in^(19)Ne.The subsequent decay particles,^(4)He or protons from the^(19)Ne resonant states,were detected in coincidence with the recoil 3 H.The excitation-energy spectra of^(19)Ne were reconstructed using the detected proton or^(4)He and the deduced^(18)F or^(15)O data,respectively.A broad resonance at about 7.85 MeV(1/2^(+))was observed,with partial decay widths different from the previously reported values,which may have a significant impact on the destruction of 18 F in astrophysical processes.Several resonances up to very high excitation energies have been identified with a largeα-clustering strength,which confirm the formation of the cluster structure with a one-hole configuration in light nuclei and encourage further systematic studies of the cluster structure in^(19)Ne.

文摘In atomic,molecular,and nuclear physics,the method of complex coordinate rotation is a widely used theoretical tool for studying resonant states.Here,we propose a novel implementation of this method based on the gradient optimization(CCR-GO).The main strength of the CCR-GO method is that it does not require manual adjustment of optimization parameters in the wave function;instead,a mathematically well-defined optimization path can be followed.Our method is proven to be very efficient in searching resonant positions and widths over a variety of few-body atomic systems,and can significantly improve the accuracy of the results.As a special case,the CCR-GO method is equally capable of dealing with bound-state problems with high accuracy,which is traditionally achieved through the usual extreme conditions of energy itself.

文摘The impurity effect is studied in three-dimensional Dirac semimetals in the framework of a T-matrix method to consider the multiple scattering events of Dirac electrons off impurities. It has been found that a strong impurity potential can significantly restructure the energy dispersion and the density of states of Dirac electrons. An impurity-induced resonant state emerges and significantly modifies the pristine optical response. It is shown that the impurity state disturbs the common longitudinal optical conductivity by creating either an optical conductivity peak or double absorption jumps, depending on the relative position of the impurity band and the Fermi level. More importantly, these conductivity features appear in the forbidden region between the Drude and interband transition, completely or partially filling the Pauli block region of optical response. The underlying physics is that the appearance of resonance states as well as the broadening of the bands leads to a more complicated selection rule for the optical transitions, making it possible to excite new electron-hole pairs in the forbidden region. These features in optical conductivity provide valuable information to understand the impurity behaviors in 3D Dirac materials.

文摘This study explores the ground-state characteristics of neutron-rich sodium isotopes,encompassing two-neutron separation energies,root-mean-square radii,quadrupole moments of proton and neutron distributions,single-particle levels of bound and resonant states,and neutron density distributions and shapes.Simultaneously,special attention is paid to the distinctive physical phenomena associated with these isotopes.The deformed relativistic mean field theory in complex momentum representations with BCS pairings(DRMF-CMR-BCS)employed in our research provides resonant states with real physics,offering insights into deformed halo nuclei.Four effective interactions(NL3,NL3^(*),PK1,and NLSH)were considered to assess the influence of continuum and deformation effects on halo structures.Calculations for odd-even nuclei ^(35–43)Na revealed the dependence on the chosen effective interaction and number of considered resonant states.Neutron occupation patterns near the Fermi surface,particularly in orbitals 1/2^(−)_(3) and 3/2^(−)_(2),were determined to be crucial in halo formation.The study provided detailed insights into the density distributions,shape evolution,and structure of neutron-rich sodium isotopes,contributing valuably to the field of nuclear physics.

文摘Higher-order topological phase in 2-dimensional(2D)systems is characterized by in-gap corner states,which are hard to detect and utilize.We numerically investigate transport properties of topological corner states in 2D honeycomb lattice,where the second-order topological phase is induced by an in-plane Zeeman field in the conventional Kane–Mele model.Through engineering multihollow structures with appropriate boundaries in honeycomb lattice,multiple corner states emerge,which greatly increases the probability to observe them.A typical two-probe setup is built to study the transport features of a diamond-shaped system with multihollow structures.Numerical results reveal the existence of global resonant states in bulk insulator,which corresponds to the resonant tunneling of multiple corner states and occupies the entire scattering region.Furthermore,based on the well separated energy levels of multiple corner states,a single-electron source is constructed.
