Abstract

This paper presents an overview of Monte Carlo (MC) event generators for simulation of proton-proton collisions along with the results on hadron production at nuclotron-based ion collider facility (NICA) energies. Namely, mean multiplicities, mean transverse momenta, and rapidity distributions of p((bar {p})), π^±, K^± at different collision energies are presented. We also study two-particle angular correlations for stable charged particles. Results of simulations with PYTHIA, EPOS, SMASH, and UrQMD event generators are compared to available data. Connections of studied quantities with physics mechanisms in MC generators are discussed. We suggest a tuned set of parameters to address observed discrepancies between data and PYTHIA.

Abstract

The spin states of Co atoms in PrBaCo₂O_{5 + δ} with regard to the paramagnetic contribution of Pr³⁺ ions have been determined from magnetic property studies for δ = 0.52 and 0.74. Results obtained without considering the paramagnetic contribution of Pr³⁺ ions are inconsistent with available experimental data. With a decrease in temperature, the metal–insulator transition in PrBaCo₂O_5.52 becomes sharper according to a sharp change in spin states (from HS/LS to LS/IS) of Co³⁺ ions. In this case, Co³⁺ ions occupying octahedra pass from the high-spin state (HS, S = 2) to the low-spin one (LS, S = 0) and those occupying pyramids pass from the LS-state to the intermediate spin state (IS, S = 1), as follows from the available structural data. In PrBaCo₂O_5.74, the metal–semiconductor transition occurs smoothly from HS/LS to the HS/IS state upon the smooth transition of the Co³⁺ ion state from (LS, S = 0) to the (IS, S = 1) state in pyramides without change in the spin state of ions Co³⁺ (HS, S = 2) and Co⁴⁺ (LS, S = 1/2) in octahedrons.

Abstract

A theory of conversion of an intense initial wave pulse into solitons for asymptotically long evolution times has been developed using the approach based on the fact that such a transformation occurs via an intermediate stage of formation and evolution of dispersion shock waves. The number of nonlinear oscillations in such waves turns out to be equal to the number of solitons in the asymptotic state. Using the Poincaré–Cartan integral invariant theory, it is shown that the number of oscillations equal to the classical action of a particle associated with the wave packet in the vicinity of the small-amplitude edge of a dispersion shock wave remains unchanged upon a transfer by a flow described by a nondispersive limit of the nonlinear wave equations considered here. This makes it possible to formulate a generalized Bohr–Sommerfeld quantization rule that determines the set of “eigenvalues” associated with soliton physical parameters in the asymptotic state (in particular, with their velocities). In the theory, the properties of full integrability of nonlinear wave equations are not used, but the corresponding results are reproduced in this case also. The analytical results are confirmed by numerical solutions to nonlinear wave equations.

Abstract

Pumping a high-Q optical microresonator by an external laser is inevitably associated with thermal effects. They have a significant impact on the dynamics of nonlinear processes in such structures, including the generation of optical frequency combs and dissipative solitons. The generation process and the properties of bright solitons in such heated microresonators with anomalous group velocity dispersion (GVD) have been well studied, and a number of methods have been developed to minimize the effect of thermal processes. However, for dark solitons or platicons excited at normal GVD, these issues have been studied significantly less. In this work, the properties of platicons in heated microresonators are analyzed, and it is shown that in the case of “positive” thermal effects, when the direction of the thermal shift of the resonance frequencies of a microresonator coincides with the direction of the nonlinear shift, the widest high-energy platicons with the duration close to the round trip time in the resonator are stable. In the case of “negative” thermal effects, narrow low-energy platicons remain stable. Moreover, in microresonators with “negative” thermal effects, the interaction between cubic nonlinear and thermal processes can ensure the generation of platicons without special techniques required in other cases.

Abstract

The effect of Gaussian noise on the switching of a ZrO₂(Y) based memristor from the low resistance state (LRS) into the high resistance state (HRS) including transitions from the LRS into intermediate metastable states has been studied. The series of positive (with addition of the noise signal or without the one) and negative rectangular voltage pulses were used as the switching signals. The adding of noise to the switching signal initiated the switching of the memristor from the LRS into the HRS at smaller pulse magnitudes than in the case of switching by the rectangular pulses without adding the noise. A necessary (preset) HRS can be achieved passing the intermediate states by adding the noise with certain parameters to the rectangular switching pulses. The resistive switching is performed without application of adaptive switching protocols. The results of the present study can be applied in the development of innovative memristor switching protocols.

Abstract

The phase transitions and thermodynamic properties of the clock model with q = 5 spin states on a triangular lattice have been investigated using the Wang–Landau Monte Carlo algorithm. The phase transitions have been analyzed with the histogram method and the fourth-order Binder cumulant method. Two Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless phase transitions are shown to be observed in the ferromagnetic clock model, while a second-order phase transition has been detected in the antiferromagnetic clock model.

Abstract

In a previous report, we presented experiments which suggested that ferromagnetic ordering of the spins of localized holes in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells could be observed when doped with shallow (Be) acceptors at impurity concentrations near the metal-insulator transition. The compensating impurity (Si) was introduced into a narrow region at the center of the barriers [4]. In this paper, we present results from magnetotransport experiments performed on similar structures, but without the compensating impurity (Si). In these samples, the compensation degree is expected to be controlled by the background defects located at the edges of the quantum wells and within the barriers. At low temperatures T ≤ 10 K, we observed isotropic, linear magnetoresistance, anomalous behavior of the Hall effect as a function of the magnetic field, and slow relaxation of resistance after the application of a magnetic field. We explain this anomalous magnetotransport as the manifestation of a ferromagnetic transition or spin glass, originating from indirect spin exchange between localized holes on impurities near the metal-insulator transition. However, we note that perfect disorder, including signs of interspin interactions, leads to unstable configurations. In what follows, we present a model in which we start with this perfect disorder, but apply a procedure to obtain a stable configuration. We show that the resulting spin structure, a “closely packed” structure of “droplets,” can reproduce the features observed in the experiment, particularly isotropic, linear magnetoresistance.

Abstract

The possibility of obtaining an object image using a fiber-optic endoscope based on ghost imaging principle is demonstrated experimentally. The endoscope consists of a multimode fiber and includes a radiation source with thermal statistics, which is formed by means of random modulation of He–Ne laser radiation with the help of a phase spatial light modulator. It is shown that after the passage through the fiber, the field preserves the pseudo-thermal statistics. Radiation obtained in this way is used for ghost imaging in transmitted as well as scattered light.

Abstract

We consider the Lifshitz topological transitions and the corresponding changes in the galvano-magnetic properties of a metal from the point of view of the general classification of open electron trajectories arising on Fermi surfaces of arbitrary complexity in the presence of magnetic field. The construction of such a classification is the content of the Novikov problem and is based on the division of non-closed electron trajectories into topologically regular and chaotic trajectories. The description of stable topologically regular trajectories gives a basis for a complete classification of non-closed trajectories on arbitrary Fermi surfaces and is connected with special topological structures on these surfaces. Using this description, we describe here the distinctive features of possible changes in the picture of electron trajectories during the Lifshitz transitions, as well as changes in the conductivity behavior in the presence of a strong magnetic field. As it turns out, the use of such an approach makes it possible to describe not only the changes associated with stable electron trajectories, but also the most general changes of the conductivity diagram in strong magnetic fields.
