Resonance Beyond Frequency-Matching
Resonance Beyond Frequency-Matching Zhenyu Wang (王振宇)1, Mingzhe Li (李明哲)1,2, & Ruifang Wang (王瑞方)1,2* 1 Department of Physics, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China. 2 Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China. *Corresponding author. [email protected] Resonance, defined as the oscillation of a system when the temporal frequency of an external stimulus matches a natural frequency of the system, is important in both fundamental physics and applied disciplines. However, the spatial character of oscillation is not considered in the definition of resonance. In this work, we reveal the creation of spatial resonance when the stimulus matches the space pattern of a normal mode in an oscillating system. The complete resonance, which we call multidimensional resonance, is a combination of both the spatial and the conventionally defined (temporal) resonance and can be several orders of magnitude stronger than the temporal resonance alone. We further elucidate that the spin wave produced by multidimensional resonance drives considerably faster reversal of the vortex core in a magnetic nanodisk. Our findings provide insight into the nature of wave dynamics and open the door to novel applications. I. INTRODUCTION Resonance is a universal property of oscillation in both classical and quantum physics[1,2]. Resonance occurs at a wide range of scales, from subatomic particles[2,3] to astronomical objects[4]. A thorough understanding of resonance is therefore crucial for both fundamental research[4-8] and numerous related applications[9-12]. The simplest resonance system is composed of one oscillating element, for instance, a pendulum. Such a simple system features a single inherent resonance frequency. -

How the Electron-Phonon Coupling Mechanism Work in Metal Superconductor
How the electron-phonon coupling mechanism work in metal superconductor Qiankai Yao1,2 1College of Science, Henan University of Technology, Zhengzhou450001, China 2School of physics and Engineering, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou450001, China Abstract Superconductivity in some metals at low temperature is known to arise from an electron-phonon coupling mechanism. Such the mechanism enables an effective attraction to bind two mobile electrons together, and even form a kind of pairing system(called Cooper pair) to be physically responsible for superconductivity. But, is it possible by an analogy with the electrodynamics to describe the electron-phonon coupling as a resistivity-dependent attraction? Actually so, it will help us to explore a more operational quantum model for the formation of Cooper pair. In particularly, by the calculation of quantum state of Cooper pair, the explored model can provide a more explicit explanation for the fundamental properties of metal superconductor, and answer: 1) How the transition temperature of metal superconductor is determined? 2) Which metals can realize the superconducting transition at low temperature?

Normal Modes of the Earth
Proceedings of the Second HELAS International Conference IOP Publishing Journal of Physics: Conference Series 118 (2008) 012004 doi:10.1088/1742-6596/118/1/012004 Normal modes of the Earth Jean-Paul Montagner and Genevi`eve Roult Institut de Physique du Globe, UMR/CNRS 7154, 4 Place Jussieu, 75252 Paris, France E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The free oscillations of the Earth were observed for the first time in the 1960s. They can be divided into spheroidal modes and toroidal modes, which are characterized by three quantum numbers n, l, and m. In a spherically symmetric Earth, the modes are degenerate in m, but the influence of rotation and lateral heterogeneities within the Earth splits the modes and lifts this degeneracy. The occurrence of the Great Sumatra-Andaman earthquake on 24 December 2004 provided unprecedented high-quality seismic data recorded by the broadband stations of the FDSN (Federation of Digital Seismograph Networks). For the first time, it has been possible to observe a very large collection of split modes, not only spheroidal modes but also toroidal modes. 1. Introduction Seismic waves can be generated by different kinds of sources (tectonic, volcanic, oceanic, atmospheric, cryospheric, or human activity). They are recorded by seismometers in a very broad frequency band. Modern broadband seismometers which equip global seismic networks (such as GEOSCOPE or IRIS/GSN) record seismic waves between 0.1 mHz and 10 Hz. Most seismologists use seismic records at frequencies larger than 10 mHz (e.g. [1]). However, the very low frequency range (below 10 mHz) has also been used extensively over the last 40 years and provides unvaluable information on the whole Earth. -

The quantum h.o. is a model that describes systems with a characteristic energy spectrum, given by a ladder of evenly spaced energy levels. The energy difference between two consecutive levels is ∆E. The number of levels is infinite, but there must exist a minimum energy, since the energy must always be positive. Given this spectrum, we expect the Hamiltonian will have the form 1 n = n + ~ω n , H | i 2 | i where each level in the ladder is identified by a number n. The name of the model is due to the analogy with characteristics of classical h.o., which we will review first. 9.1.1 Classical harmonic oscillator and h.o. -
Normal Modes (Free Oscillations)
Introduction to Seismology: Lecture Notes 22 April 2005 SEISMOLOGY: NORMAL MODES (FREE OSCILLATIONS) DECOMPOSING SEISMOLOGY INTO SUBDISCIPLINES Seismology can be decomposed into three representative subdisciplines: body waves, surface waves, and normal modes of free oscillation. Technically, these domains form a continuum, each pertaining to particular frequency bands, spatial scales, etc. In all cases, these representations satisfy the wave equation, but each is subject to different boundary conditions and simplifying assumptions. Each is therefore relevant to particular types of subsurface investigation. Below is a table summarizing the salient characteristics of the three. Boundary Seismic Domains Type Application Data Conditions Body Waves P-SV SH High frequency travel times; waveforms unbounded dispersion; group c(w) & Surface Waves Rayleigh Love Lithosphere phase u(w) velocities interfaces spherical Normal Modes Spheroidal Modes Toroidal Modes Global power spectra earth As the table suggests, the normal modes provide a framework for representing global seismic waves. Typically, these modes of free oscillation are of extremely low frequency and are therefore difficult to observe in seismograms. Only the most energetic earthquakes are capable of generating free oscillations that are readily apparent on most seismograms, and then only if the seismograms extend over several days. NORMAL MODES To understand normal modes, which describe the modes of free oscillation of a sphere, it’s instructive to consider the 1D analog of a vibrating string fixed at both ends as shown in panel Figure 1b. This is useful because the 3D case (Figure 1c), similar to the 1D case, requires that Figure 1 Figure by MIT OCW. 1 Introduction to Seismology: Lecture Notes 22 April 2005 standing waves ‘wrap around’ and meet at a null point. -

Henceforth, we will shift the zero of energy so as to = make U0 0. Note that in obtaining Eq. (1.2), we have neglected anharmonic (i.e., cubic and higher order) corrections to the vibrational motion. The next and most confusing step is to change to matrix notation. We introduce a column vector containing the displacements as: ∆≡ ∆x ∆y ∆z ∆x ∆y ∆z T [ 1 , 1, 1,..., N , N , N ] ,(1.4) where "T"denotes a matrix transpose. -

Course: US01CPHY01 UNIT – 2 ELASTICITY – II Introduction: We discussed fundamental concept of properties of matter in first unit. This concept will be more use full for calculating various properties of mechanics of solid material. In this unit, we shall study the detail theory and its related experimental methods for determination of elastic constants and other related properties. Twisting couple on a cylinder or wire: Consider a cylindrical rod of length l radius r and coefficient of rigidity . Its upper end is fixed and a couple is applied in a plane perpendicular to its length at lower end as shown in fig.(a) Consider a cylinder is consisting a large number of co-axial hollow cylinder. Now, consider a one hollow cylinder of radius x and radial thickness dx as shown in fig.(b). Let is the twisting angle. The displacement is greatest at the rim and decreases as the center is approached where it becomes zero. As shown in fig.(a), Let AB be the line parallel to the axis OO’ before twist produced and on twisted B shifts to B’, then line AB become AB’. Before twisting if hollow cylinder cut along AB and flatted out, it will form the rectangular ABCD as shown in fig.(c). But if it will be cut after twisting it takes the shape of a parallelogram AB’C’D.

Total Angular Momentum
Total Angular momentum Dipanjan Mazumdar Sept 2019 1 Motivation So far, somewhat deliberately, in our prior examples we have worked exclusively with the spin angular momentum and ignored the orbital component. This is acceptable for L = 0 systems such as filled shell atoms, but properties of partially filled atoms will depend both on the orbital and the spin part of the angular momentum. Also, when we include relativistic corrections to atomic Hamiltonian, both spin and orbital angular momentum enter directly through terms like L:~ S~ called the spin-orbit coupling. So instead of focusing only on the spin or orbital angular momentum, we have to develop an understanding as to how they couple together. One of the ways is through the total angular momentum defined as J~ = L~ + S~ (1) We will see that this will be very useful in many cases such as the real hydrogen atom where the eigenstates after including the fine structure effects such as spin-orbit interaction are eigenstates of the total angular momentum operator. 2 Vector model of angular momentum Let us first develop an intuitive understanding of the total angular momentum through the vector model which is a semi-classical approach to \add" angular momenta using vector algebra. We shall first ask, knowing L~ and S~, what are the maxmimum and minimum values of J^. This is simple to answer us- ing the vector model since vectors can be added or subtracted. Therefore, the extreme values are L~ + S~ and L~ − S~ as seen in figure 1.1 Therefore, the total angular momentum will take up values between l+s Figure 1: Maximum and minimum values of angular and jl − sj.
