Sun-as-a-star observations: evidence for degree dependence of changes in damping of low-l p modes along the solar cycle
We use 9.5-yr of BiSON Sun-as-a-star data to search for dependence of solar-cycle parameter changes on the angular degree, l, of the data. The nature of the Sun-as-a-star observations is such that for changes measured at fixed frequency, or for changes averaged across the same range in frequency, any l dependence prese...

Quantum secure communication provides a new way for protecting the security of information. As an important component of quantum secure communication, remote state preparation (RSP) can securely transmit a quantum state from a sender to a remote receiver. The existence of quantum noise severely affects the security and...

Current Induced Damping of Nanosized Quantum Moments in the Presence of Spin-Orbit Interaction
Motivated by the need to understand current-induced magnetization dynamics at the nanoscale, we have developed a formalism, within the framework of Keldysh Green function approach, to study the current-induced dynamics of a ferromagnetic (FM) nanoisland overlayer on a spin-orbit-coupling (SOC) Rashba plane. In contrast...

Evidence for structural damping in a high-stress silicon nitride nanobeam and its implications for quantum optomechanics
We resolve the thermal motion of a high-stress silicon nitride nanobeam at frequencies far below its fundamental flexural resonance (3.4 MHz) using cavity-enhanced optical interferometry. Over two decades, the displacement spectrum is well-modeled by that of a damped harmonic oscillator driven by a $1/f$ thermal force,...

Propagation of transition fronts in nonlinear chains with non-degenerate on-site potentials
We address the problem of a front propagation in chains with a bi-stable nondegenerate on-site potential and a nonlinear gradient coupling. For a generic nonlinear coupling, one encounters a special regime of transitions, characterized by extremely narrow fronts, far supersonic velocities of propagation and long waves ...

The Frequency-dependent Damping of Slow Magnetoacoustic Waves in a Sunspot Umbral Atmosphere
High spatial and temporal resolution images of a sunspot, obtained simultaneously in multiple optical and UV wavelengths, are employed to study the propagation and damping characteristics of slow magnetoacoustic waves up to transition region heights. Power spectra are generated from intensity oscillations in sunspot um...

Spin wave damping arising from phase coexistence below $T_c$ in colossal magnetoresistive La$_{0.7}$Ca$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$
While the spin dynamics of La$_{0.7}$Ca$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$ in the ferromagnetic phase are known to be unconventional, previous measurements have yielded contradictory results regarding the damping of spin wave excitations. Neutron spectroscopy measurements on a sample with a transition temperature of $T_c$=257 K, higher th...

Topological and Graph-coloring Conditions on the Parameter-independent Stability of Second-order Networked Systems
In this paper, we study parameter-independent stability in qualitatively heterogeneous passive networked systems containing damped and undamped nodes. Given the graph topology and a set of damped nodes, we ask if output consensus is achieved for all system parameter values. For given parameter values, an eigenspace ana...

Collisional damping rates for plasma waves
The distinction between the plasma dynamics dominated by collisional transport versus collective processes has never been rigorously addressed until recently. A recent paper [Yoon et al., Phys. Rev. E 93, 033203 (2016)] formulates for the first time, a unified kinetic theory in which collective processes and collisiona...

Tidal dissipation in rotating fluid bodies: the presence of a magnetic field
We investigate effects of the presence of a magnetic field on tidal dissipation in rotating fluid bodies. We consider a simplified model consisting of a rigid core and a fluid envelope, permeated by a background magnetic field (either a dipolar field or a uniform axial field). The wavelike tidal responses in the fluid ...

Implications of dark matter cascade decay from DAMPE, HESS, Fermi-LAT and AMS02 data
Recent high-energy cosmic $e^\pm$ measurement from the DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) satellite confirms the deviation of total cosmic ray electron spectrum above 700-900 GeV from a simple power law. In this paper we demonstrate that the cascade decay of dark matter (DM) can account for DAMPE's TeV $e^+e^-$ spec...

Scalar dark matter, Type II Seesaw and the DAMPE cosmic ray $e^+ + e^-$ excess
The DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) has reported a measurement of the flux of high energy cosmic ray electrons plus positrons (CREs) in the energy range between $25$ GeV and $4.6$ TeV. With unprecedented high energy resolution, the DAMPE data exhibit an excess of the CREs flux at an energy of around $1.4$ TeV. In...

Nonlinear growth of structure in cosmologies with damped matter fluctuations
We investigate the nonlinear evolution of structure in variants of the standard cosmological model which display damped density fluctuations relative to cold dark matter (e.g. in which cold dark matter is replaced by warm or interacting DM). Using N-body simulations, we address the question of how much information is r...

DAMPE excess from decaying right-handed neutrino dark matter
The flux of high-energy cosmic-ray electrons plus positrons recently measured by the DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) exhibits a tentative peak excess at an energy of around $1.4$ TeV. In this paper, we consider the minimal gauged $U(1)_{B-L}$ model with a right-handed neutrino (RHN) dark matter (DM) and interpret...

A Statistical Study on The Frequency-Dependent Damping of Slow-mode Waves in Polar Plumes and Interplumes
We perform a statistical study on the frequency-dependent damping of slow waves propagating along polar plumes and interplumes in the solar corona. Analysis of a large sample of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) imaging data with high spatial and temporal resolutions obtained from AIA/SDO suggests an inverse power-law dependen...

Isotropic non-local Gilbert damping driven by spin currents in epitaxial Pd/Fe/MgO(001) films
Although both theoretical predications and experimental observations demonstrated that the damping factor is anisotropic at ferromagnet/semiconductor interface with robust interfacial spin-orbit coupling, it is not well understood whether non-local Gilbert damping driven by spin currents in heavy metal/ferromagnetic me...

Dark matter gets DAMPE
The DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) recently reported an excess of electrons/positrons above expected background fluxes even when a double power-law background spectrum is assumed. Several dark matter models that involve TeV-scale leptophilic WIMPs have been suggested in the literature to account for this excess....

Thermal gradient driven domain wall dynamics
The issue of whether a thermal gradient acts like a magnetic field or an electric current in the domain wall (DW) dynamics is investigated. Broadly speaking, magnetization control knobs can be classified as energy-driving or angular-momentum driving forces. DW propagation driven by a static magnetic field is the best-k...

Turbulent dynamo in a weakly ionized medium
The small-scale turbulent dynamo is an important process contributing to the cosmic magnetization. In partially ionized astrophysical plasmas, the dynamo growth of magnetic energy strongly depends on the coupling state between ions and neutrals and the ion-neutral collisional damping effect. A new damping stage of turb...

Quantum speed limit time for correlated quantum channel
Memory effects play a fundamental role in the dynamics of open quantum systems. There exist two different views on memory for quantum noises. In the first view, the quantum channel has memory when there exist correlations between successive uses of the channels on a sequence of quantum systems. These types of channels ...
