They bring a comparative analysis of the electronic mass media impact results on the process of thinking, forming of the young people value system of two dynamically developing countries — Kazakhstan and China
Origin of the mixed-order transition in multiplex networks: the Ashkin-Teller model
Recently, diverse phase transition (PT) types have been obtained in multiplex
networks, such as discontinuous, continuous, and mixed-order PTs. However, they
emerge from individual systems, and there is no theoretical understanding of
such PTs in a single framework. Here, we study a spin model called the
Ashkin-Teller (AT) model in a mono-layer scale-free network; this can be
regarded as a model of two species of Ising spin placed on each layer of a
double-layer network. The four-spin interaction in the AT model represents the
inter-layer interaction in the multiplex network. Diverse PTs emerge depending
on the inter-layer coupling strength and network structure. Especially, we find
that mixed-order PTs occur at the critical end points. The origin of such
behavior is explained in the framework of Landau-Ginzburg theory.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figure
Putative spin liquid in the triangle-based iridate BaIrTiO
We report on thermodynamic, magnetization, and muon spin relaxation
measurements of the strong spin-orbit coupled iridate BaIrTiO,
which constitutes a new frustration motif made up a mixture of edge- and
corner-sharing triangles. In spite of strong antiferromagnetic exchange
interaction of the order of 100~K, we find no hint for long-range magnetic
order down to 23 mK. The magnetic specific heat data unveil the -linear and
-squared dependences at low temperatures below 1~K. At the respective
temperatures, the zero-field muon spin relaxation features a persistent spin
dynamics, indicative of unconventional low-energy excitations. A comparison to
the isostructural compound BaRuTiO suggests that a concerted
interplay of compass-like magnetic interactions and frustrated geometry
promotes a dynamically fluctuating state in a triangle-based iridate.Comment: Physical Review B accepte
Coronal Thick Target Hard X Ray Emissions and Radio Emissions
Recently a distinctive class of hard X ray (HXR) sources located in the
corona was found, which implies that the collisionally thick target model
(CTTM) applies even to the corona. We investigated whether this idea can
independently be verified by microwave radiations that have been known as the
best companion to HXRs. The study is made for the GOES M2.3 class flare
occurred on 2002 September 9 that were observed by the Reuven Ramaty High
Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) and the Owens Valley Solar Array
(OVSA). Interpreting the observed energy dependent variation of HXR source size
under the CTTM the coronal density should be as high as
cm over the distance up to 12. To explain the cut-off feature of
microwave spectrum at 3 GHz, we however, need density no higher than cm. Additional constraints need to be placed on temperature and
magnetic field of the coronal source in order to reproduce the microwave
spectrum as a whole. Firstly, a spectral feature called the Razin suppression
requires the magnetic field in a range of 250--350 gauss along with high
viewing angles around 75. Secondly, to avoid excess fluxes at high
frequencies due to the free-free emission that were not observed, we need a
high temperature K. These two microwave spectral features,
Razzin suppression and free-free emissions, become more significant at regions
of high thermal plasma density and are essential for validating and for
determining additional parameters for the coronal HXR sources.Comment: APJ Letters, in pres
Hybridization gap and Fano resonance in SmB
We present results of Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Spectroscopy (STS)
measurements on the "Kondo insulator" SmB. The vast majority of surface
areas investigated was reconstructed but, infrequently, also patches of varying
size of non-reconstructed, Sm- or B-terminated surfaces were found. On the
smallest patches, clear indications for the hybridization gap and
inter-multiplet transitions were observed. On non-reconstructed surface areas
large enough for coherent co-tunneling we were able to observe clear-cut Fano
resonances. Our locally resolved STS indicated considerable finite conductance
on all surfaces independent of their structure.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
