Controlling the motional quality factor of a diamagnetically levitated graphite plate
Researchers seek methods to levitate matter for a wide variety of purposes, ranging from exploring fundamental problems in science, through to developing new sensors and mechanical actuators. Many levitation techniques require active driving and most can only be applied to objects smaller than a few micrometers. Diamag...

Strong On-Chip Microwave Photon-Magnon Coupling Using Ultra-low Damping Epitaxial Y3Fe5O12 Films at 2 Kelvin
Y3Fe5O12 is arguably the best magnetic material for magnonic quantum information science (QIS) because of its extremely low damping. We report ultralow damping at 2 K in epitaxial Y3Fe5O12 thin films grown on a diamagnetic Y3Sc2Ga3O12 substrate that contains no rare-earth elements. Using these ultralow damping YIG film...

Fractional damping effects on the transient dynamics of the Duffing oscillator

Fast convex optimization via closed-loop time scaling of gradient dynamics
In a Hilbert setting, for convex differentiable optimization, we develop a general framework for adaptive accelerated gradient methods. They are based on damped inertial dynamics where the coefficients are designed in a closed-loop way. Specifically, the damping is a feedback control of the velocity, or of the gradient...

Damped harmonic oscillator revisited: the fastest route to equilibrium
Theoretically, solutions of the damped harmonic oscillator asymptotically approach equilibrium, i.e., the zero energy state, without ever reaching it exactly, and the critically damped solution approaches equilibrium faster than the underdamped or the overdamped solution. Experimentally, the systems described with this...

Structural symmetry breaking in magnetic materials is responsible for a variety of outstanding physical phenomena. Examples range from the existence of multiferroics, to current induced spin orbit torques (SOT) and the formation of topological magnetic structures. In this letter we bring into light a novel effect of th...

The absence of intraband scattering in a consistent theory of Gilbert damping in metallic ferromagnets
Damping of magnetization dynamics in a ferromagnetic metal is usually characterized by the Gilbert parameter alpha. Recent calculations of this quantity, using a formula due to Kambersky, find that it is infinite for a perfect crystal owing to an intraband scattering term which is of third order in the spin-orbit param...

Spatial damping of propagating sausage waves in coronal cylinders
Sausage modes are important in coronal seismology. Spatially damped propagating sausage waves were recently observed in the solar atmosphere. We examine how wave leakage influences the spatial damping of sausage waves propagating along coronal structures modeled by a cylindrical density enhancement embedded in a unifor...

On the branching of the quasinormal resonances of near-extremal Kerr black holes
It has recently been shown by Yang. et. al. [Phys. Rev. D {\bf 87}, 041502(R) (2013)] that rotating Kerr black holes are characterized by two distinct sets of quasinormal resonances. These two families of quasinormal resonances display qualitatively different asymptotic behaviors in the extremal ($a/M\to 1$) black-hole...

Damping and power spectra of quasi-periodic intensity disturbances above a solar polar coronal hole
We study intensity disturbances above a solar polar coronal hole seen in the AIA 171 \AA\ and 193 \AA\ passbands, aiming to provide more insights into their physical nature. The damping and power spectra of the intensity disturbances with frequencies from 0.07 mHz to 10.5 mHz are investigated. The damping of the intens...

Storage-ring Electron Cooler for Relativistic Ion Beams
Application of electron cooling at ion energies above a few GeV has been limited due to reduction of electron cooling efficiency with energy and difficulty in producing and accelerating a high-current high-quality electron beam. A high-current storage-ring electron cooler offers a solution to both of these problems by ...

Excitation of nonlinear ion acoustic waves in CH plasmas
Excitation of nonlinear ion acoustic wave (IAW) by an external electric field is demonstrated by Vlasov simulation. The frequency calculated by the dispersion relation with no damping is verified much closer to the resonance frequency of the small-amplitude nonlinear IAW than that calculated by the linear dispersion re...

A stable partitioned FSI algorithm for rigid bodies and incompressible flow. Part II: General formulation
A stable partitioned algorithm is developed for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems involving viscous incompressible flow and rigid bodies. This {\em added-mass partitioned} (AMP) algorithm remains stable, without sub-iterations, for light and even zero mass rigid bodies when added-mass and viscous added-damping...

Observation of a strong coupling effect on electron-ion collisions in ultracold plasmas
Ultracold plasmas (UCP) provide a well-controlled system for studying multiple aspects in plasma physics that include collisions and strong coupling effects. By applying a short electric field pulse to a UCP, a plasma electron center-of-mass (CM) oscillation can be initiated. In accessible parameter ranges, the damping...

Critical pairing fluctuations in the normal state of a superconductor: pseudogap and quasi-particle damping
We study the effect of critical pairing fluctuations on the electronic properties in the normal state of a clean superconductor in three dimensions. Using a functional renormalization group approach to take the non-Gaussian nature of critical fluctuations into account, we show microscopically that in the BCS regime, wh...

Probing decoherence in plasmonic waveguides in the quantum regime
We experimentally investigate the decoherence of single surface plasmon polaritons in metal stripe waveguides. In our study we use a Mach-Zehnder configuration previously considered for measuring decoherence in atomic, electronic and photonic systems. By placing waveguides of different length in one arm we are able to ...

Spatially Localized Particle Energization by Landau Damping in Current Sheets Produced by Strong Alfven Wave Collisions
Understanding the removal of energy from turbulent fluctuations in a magnetized plasma and the consequent energization of the constituent plasma particles is a major goal of heliophysics and astrophysics. Previous work has shown that nonlinear interactions among counterpropagating Alfven waves---or Alfven wave collisio...

We study the dynamics of a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of $^{174}$Yb atoms coherently driven on a narrow optical transition. The excitation transfers the BEC to a superposition of states with different internal and momentum quantum numbers. We observe a crossover with decreasing driving strength betwee...

Inference of magnetic field strength and density from damped transverse coronal waves
A classic application of coronal seismology uses transverse oscillations of waveguides to obtain estimates of the magnetic field strength. The procedure requires information on the density of the structures. Often, it ignores the damping of the oscillations. We computed marginal posteriors for parameters such as the wa...

A metal-poor damped Ly-alpha system at redshift 6.4
We identify a strong Ly-alpha damping wing profile in the spectrum of the quasar P183+05 at z=6.4386. Given the detection of several narrow metal absorption lines at z=6.40392, the most likely explanation for the absorption profile is that it is due to a damped Ly-alpha system. However, in order to match the data a con...

Combination of the damping and the substantially nonlinear coupling leads to rather unusual two-stage pattern of the breather propagation. The first stage occurs at finite fragment o...
