We report the discovery of 19 new pulsars identified from archival observations of the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) within Galactic latitudes $|b|<5°$ and declinations ${\rm Decl.}<-5°$. The dataset was recorded using FAST's $L$-band 19-beam receiver and covered $\sim 3.6~{\rm deg}^2$ with a cumulative...
We investigate the evolution of anisotropies in Bianchi I spacetimes within the framework of the 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet scalar field theory. The field equations are formulated using dimensionless variables, and the asymptotic dynamics are studied through a combination of analytical and numerical techniques. For the locally...
A unifying framework to describe dense flows of dry, deformable grains is proposed. Perturbative analysis of a granular temperature equation describing flows with contact stresses, supported by the recovery of the nonlocal granular fluidity equation, is used to derive an expression for a recently postulated critical exponent. Direct...
Here we have experimentally demonstrated spin-correlation-driven ferroelectric quantum criticality in a prototype quantum spin-liquid system, Ba3CuSb2O9, a quantum phenomenon rarely observed. The dielectric constant follows a clear T2 scaling, showing that the material behaves as a quantum paraelectric without developing ferroelectric...
The square-lattice $J_1$-$J_2$ transverse-field (TF) Ising model was investigated with the exact diagonalization (ED) method. In order to analyze the TF-driven phase transition, we applied the longitudinal-field fidelity susceptibility $χ^{(h)}_F$, which is readily evaluated via the ED scheme. Here, the longitudinal field couples with...
Recent years have witnessed the emergence of spin supersolids in frustrated quantum magnets, establishing a material-based platform for supersolidity beyond its original context in solid helium. A spin supersolid is characterized by the coexistence of longitudinal spin order that breaks lattice translational symmetry and transverse...
Exceptional points (EPs), ubiquitous non-Hermitian degeneracies, are central features in band structures where non-Hermitian Fermi arcs connect EPs and eigenvalue knots encircle them. Under open boundary conditions (OBCs), non-Hermitian skin effects enforce complex momenta and yield non-Bloch band structures, introducing EPs unique to...
The mean free path of photocarriers is a crucial parameter for material design, device optimization, and new optoelectronics applications. Currently, this parameter remains unknown for many materials, and experimental means available for its measurement are considerably lacking. Meanwhile, it remains an unclear issue whether the mean...
This paper probes the dispersive shock waves (DSWs) theory in nonlinear optical systems through Whitham modulation theory for the high-order Chen-Lee-Liu (HOCLL) equation. We systematically derived the one-phase periodic solutions and the corresponding Whitham equations. For all feasible initial discontinuous conditions, we delineate...
Quarks and antiquarks carry color and electric charges and belong to the color-triplet $3$ group and the color-antitriplet $\bar 3$ group respectively. The product groups of $3$ and $\bar 3$ consist of the color-singlet $1$ and the color-octet $8$ subgroups. Therefore, quarks and antiquarks combine to form color-singlet $[q \bar q]^1$...
Over-parameterization is commonly used to increase the expressivity of variational quantum circuits (VQCs), yet deeper and more highly parameterized circuits often exhibit poor trainability and limited generalization. In this work, we provide a theoretical explanation for this phenomenon from a function-class perspective. We show that...
Dynamic control of laser emission direction is crucial for developing compact and reconfigurable nanophotonic devices. In this work, we numerically present a plasmonic nanolaser (PNL) integrated with a voltage-controlled liquid crystal (LC) layer to achieve active beam steering. We modeled the orientation of LC molecules under an...
We investigate the accretion of globular cluster stars on early cosmological timescales through detailed N-body simulations of theoretical GC models to assess the role of this mechanism in Milky Way-like galaxies. For the dynamical modelling, we used the updated parallel N-body code phi-GPU, including stellar evolution. We prepared...
Recent Sun-as-a-star studies have shown that postflare loops can manifest as a secondary peak in the H$α$ light curve, suggesting that stellar postflare loops are detectable. To understand what determines the timing of such a secondary peak in the H$α$ light curve associated with postflare loops, we must quantitatively identify the...
There is a method for constructing from first principles, a holographic bulk dual action in Euclidean $AdS_{d+1}$ space for a $d$-dimensional Euclidean CFT on the boundary, starting from the Polchinski's Exact Renormalization Group (ERG) equation that describes the RG evolution of the interaction part of the boundary Wilson action....
We investigate the ultrafast dynamics of photo-induced non-thermal lattice disorder in a polycrystalline aluminium thin film to elucidate transient short- and long-range lattice distortions, their thermalization and electron-phonon coupling timescales. Using a high-repetition-rate 95-keV ultrafast electron diffraction setup (UED), we...
Hydrogen-deficient stars form sequences across the HR diagram from cool R CrB stars to helium-rich hot subdwarfs and PG1159 stars, tracing multiple evolution pathways. The Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) has been used to conduct a medium-resolution spectroscopic survey of 697 helium-rich hot subdwarfs and related stars. Using...
This study presents a detailed quantum chemical investigation of the electronic and excited-state properties of syn- and anti-isomers of the borane cluster B18H22 and their sulfur-doped derivatives. Using the PB86/def2-SVP level of theory with dispersion corrections, the research examines how sulfur substitution and non-covalent...
Polar antiferromagnetic metals have recently garnered increasing interests due to their combined traits of both ferromagnets and antiferromagnets for spintronic applications. However, the inherently incompatible nature of antiferromagnet, metallicity and polarity pose a significant challenge. We propose that charge disproportionation...
The article discusses an original spectroscopic method for the study of supersonic argon jets in atomic and cluster flow regimes. The method is based on absolute measurements of the VUV radiation flux from a supersonic argon jet induced by a 1 keV electron beam. The integral radiation flux and spectral distribution of the radiation...
In this study, we conducted a theoretical analysis of specific C36 and O@C36 Fullerene isomers, namely those with (D3h, C1, Cs, C2, D2) symmetries, in the gaseous phase using the DFT method at B3LYP/6-31G* level. We studied geometry optimizations, relative stability, atomization energies, Fermi energy, energy gap, electronic...
Models of reaction diffusion processes usually employ discrete lattice models with particles interacting at the same site, resulting in localized reactions in the continuum limit. Here, various non-local interactions are considered, and two features reported. Firstly, it is shown that sufficiently non-local interactions will regulate...
The computation of higher-order corrections to cross sections relevant at LHC involves the evaluation of phase-space integrals that exhibit soft and collinear divergences. The subtraction of these divergences is a key ingredient to obtain fully-differential predictions for physical observables. We discuss a subtraction method to...
The representation and future evolution of summer Greenland atmospheric blocking in climate models is here investigated from a Lagrangian perspective using a novel Python package blocktrack. By applying the blocktrack algorithm to ERA5 reanalysis and a CMIP6 model ensemble, we identify and track blocking events over Greenland, and...
A quantitative phase analysis of substrate-free single-component and binary clusters of the Ar-Kr system obtained by adiabatic expansion of gas into vacuum through a supersonic nozzle was performed. The studies were carried out in-situ using transmission electron diffraction technique (THEED) on clusters with an average size ranging...
