In this paper, the critical rotation rate for vortex nucleation in ultracold rotating boson atoms in 2D deep optical lattices is calculated. We suggest a semiclassical approach to calculate the critical rotation frequency at finite temperature through extension of Stringari threshold formula. The critical rotation frequency is parametrized in terms of the thermodynamic potential. Depending on the semiclassical

Abstract We have studied analytically the persistent current and the magnetization of two electrons trapped by a circular parabolic GaAs quantum dot using the canonical ensemble approach. We have investigated their behavior as a function of the dot size and magnetic field in the presence and the absence of the harmonic e–e interaction at high and low temperatures. Our investigations reveal that the

The high-spectral-resolution detection of hard X-rays (E > 20 keV) is a challenging and nearly unexplored area in space astrophysics. Traditionally hard X-ray detectors present moderate spectral resolutions, although few tens of eV one could open new frontiers in the study of nuclear processes and high-temperature plasma dynamics in energetic processes.

Frequency-domain multiplexing (fMUX) is a mature readout scheme for transition edge sensor (TES) detectors in the millimetre and sub-millimetre bands. It is implemented at MHz carrier frequencies for the South Pole Telescope, POLARBEAR, and Simons Array and is planned for deployment on the LiteBIRD space polarimeter. The existing implementations couple to the detectors with low-noise, low-input-impedance

The BICEP/Keck (BK) experiment aims to detect the imprint of primordial gravitational waves in the cosmic microwave background polarization, which would be direct evidence of the inflation theory. While the tensor-to-scalar ratio has been constrained to be $$r_{0.05}<0.06$$ at 95% c.l., further improvements on this upper limit are hindered by polarized galactic foreground emissions and removal of gravitational

SuperSpec is an on-chip filter bank spectrometer designed for wideband moderate-resolution spectroscopy at millimeter wavelengths, employing TiN kinetic inductance detectors. SuperSpec technology will enable large-format spectroscopic integral field units suitable for high-redshift line intensity mapping and multi-object spectrographs. In previous results, we have demonstrated noise performance in

The forthcoming generation of cosmic microwave background polarization observatories is developing large format detector arrays which will operate at 100 mK. Given the volume of detector wafers that will be required, fast-cooldown 100 mK test cryostats are increasingly needed. A miniature dilution refrigerator (MDR) has been developed for this purpose and is reported. The MDR is precooled by a double-stage

We are developing the frequency-domain multiplexing (FDM) readout for the SAFARI far-infrared spectrometer on board the SPICA space observatory. Each readout channel comprises a set of ~ 160 TESs and LC filters and is read out with a SQUID preamplifier. Baseband feedback is applied to overcome the dynamic range limitations of the SQUID. We have carried out extensive characterization of a test readout

An analysis of the detailed operation for the tube element is proposed for an orifice pulse tube cryocooler. This is achieved through phasor analysis using basic thermodynamic relations to estimate the approximated cooling power associated with this machine. Moreover, the effect of the phase shift angle is illustrated by forming an analogy between the phase shift mechanism and a series RLC circuit

LiteBIRD is a JAXA-led L-Class mission aimed at the study of B-mode polarization of the cosmic microwave background. Measurements on 15 bandwidth from 34 to 448 GHz are made on two instruments, low-frequency telescope and medium- and high-frequency telescope. To reach the desired sensitivities, more than 4500 transition edge sensors detectors, used on both instruments, will be continuously cooled to

In this work, we theoretically predict thermodynamic properties of titanium carbide (TiC). To this end, we have analytically solved the Schrödinger equation with the Morse ring-shaped potential using Pekeris approximation. We have obtained energy eigenvalues for the potential using the generalized parametric Nikiforov–Uvarov (UV) procedure. Using the obtained energy eigenvalues, we could analytically

Despite the multiple and convincing evidence of the existence of dark matter (DM) in our Universe, its detection is one of the most pressing questions in particle physics. As of today, there is no unambiguous hint which could clarify the particle nature of DM. For these reasons, a huge experimental effort is ongoing, trying to realize experiments which can probe the particle properties of DM. In particular

Arrays of high-density microcalorimeters require careful heat sinking in order to minimize the thermal crosstalk between nearby pixels. For the array of microcalorimeters developed for the Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit instrument, which has more than 3000 pixels on a 275 µm pitch, it is essential to address this problem in order to meet the energy-resolution requirements. The instrument’s energy-resolution
