R. D. Shull National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD 20899-0001, USA The paper presents a theoretical analysis of elastic magnetic small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) due to the nonuniform magnetic microstructure in nanocrystalline ferromagnets. The reaction of the magnetization to the magnetocrystalline and magnetoelastic anisotropy fields is derived using the theory ...

The ensemble CUE(q) of truncated random unitary matrices is a deformation of the usual Circular Unitary Ensemble depending on a discrete non-negative parameter q. CUE(q) is an exactly solved model of random contraction matrices originally introduced in the context of scattering theory. In this article, we exhibit a connection between CUE(q) and Fisher’s randomturns vicious walker model from sta...

A systematic procedure is presented for synthesis of generalized Chebyshev lossy bandstop filters with non-paraconjugate transmission zeros. From a lossy scattering parameters with the prescribed reflection zeros, the transformation formulas from the scattering matrix to the admittance matrix are obtained by reconstructing the non-paraconjugate transmission zeros as paraconjugate ones. The cano...

Due to the effect of aerosols present in the atmosphere on the satellite images, the study of the effect of local aerosols distribution on the satellite images is important. On the other hand, the study shows that the effect of aerosols on the greenhouse gases and consequently on climate is also undeniable and as a result, this puts more emphasize on the necessity of this study. Lack of informa...

In underwater wireless optical communication links, the suspended particles in the water can lead to multiple path transmission of the light, causing the temporal dispersion and attenuation of beam pulse. The scattering phase function is a key parameter to model angle scattering in the Monte Carlo simulation and can be approximated by the commonly used Henyey-Greenstein (HG) phase function, but...

A method has been developed for retrieving the scattering and microphysical properties of atmospheric aerosol from measurements of solar transmission, aureole, and angular distribution of the scattered and polarized sky light in the solar principal plane. Numerical simulations of measurements have been used to investigate the feasibility of the method and to test the algorithm's performance. It...

Optical imaging techniques based on multiple light scattering generally have poor sensitivity to the orientation and direction of microscopic light scattering structures. In order to address this limitation, we introduce a spatial frequency domain method for imaging contrast from oriented scattering structures by measuring the angular-dependence of structured light reflectance. The measurement ...

The possibility of the structural change in YbPd has been investigated by Raman scattering in the temperature range from 4 K to 300 K. One peak was clearly observed around 91 cm−1 below 132 K. This is a clear evidence of a structural change at the transition temperature 132 K from the CsCl structure. The polarization dependence of the 91 cm−1 peak shows that the cubic and tetragonal symmetries ...

In this paper, we proposed a sentence encoding-based model for recognizing text entailment. In our approach, the encoding of sentence is a two-stage process. Firstly, average pooling was used over word-level bidirectional LSTM (biLSTM) to generate a firststage sentence representation. Secondly, attention mechanism was employed to replace average pooling on the same sentence for better represent...

Although scattering of light by a coated sphere is much more complicated than scattering by a homogeneous sphere, each of the partial wave amplitudes for scattering of a plane wave by a coated sphere can be expanded in a Debye series. The Debye series can then be rearranged in terms of the various reflections that each partial wave undergoes inside the coated sphere. For a given number of inter...
