On the Evolution of Damped Lyman Alpha Systems to Galactic Disks
The mean metallicity of the thick disk of the Galaxy is 0.5 dex higher than that of the damped Lyman alpha systems. This has been interpreted to argue that stars in the former do not arise out of gas in the latter. Using new metallicity and H I column-density data we show the metal-rich damped systems do contain suffic...

The role of damped Alfven waves on magnetospheric accretion models of young stars
We examine the role of Alfven wave damping in heating the plasma in the magnetic funnels of magnetospheric accretion models of young stars. We study four different damping mechanisms of the Alfven waves: nonlinear, turbulent, viscous-resistive and collisional. Two different possible origins for the Alfven waves are dis...

Resonantly Damped Kink Magnetohydrodynamic Waves in a Partially Ionized Filament Thread
Transverse oscillations of solar filament and prominence threads have been frequently reported. These oscillations have the common features of being of short period (2-10 min) and being damped after a few periods. Kink magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wave modes have been proposed as responsible for the observed oscillations,...

Time damping of non-adiabatic magnetohydrodynamic waves in a partially ionized prominence plasma: Effect of helium
Prominences are partially ionized, magnetized plasmas embedded in the solar corona. Damped oscillations and propagating waves are commonly observed. These oscillations have been interpreted in terms of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves. Ion-neutral collisions and non-adiabatic effects (radiation losses and thermal conduc...

The effect of longitudinal flow on resonantly damped kink oscillations
The most promising mechanism acting towards damping the kink oscillations of coronal loops is resonant absorption. In this context most of previous studies neglected the effect of the obvious equilibrium flow along magnetic field lines. The flows are in general sub-Alfv\'enic and hence comparatively slow. Here we inves...

The wakefield suppression in this case entails locating the damping materials in relatively close proximity to the accelerating cells. Herein we present an alternate design for the main accelerating structure...

Revealing Sub-Surface Vibrational Modes by Atom-Resolved Damping Force Spectroscopy
We propose to use the damping signal of an oscillating cantilever in dynamic atomic force microscopy as a noninvasive tool to study the vibrational structure of the substrate. We present atomically resolved maps of damping in carbon nanotube peapods, capable of identifying the location and packing of enclosed Dy@C82 mo...

Time domain detection of pulsed spin torque damping reduction
Combining multiple ultrafast spin torque impulses with a 5 nanosecond duration pulse for damping reduction, we observe time-domain precession which evolves from an initial 1 ns duration transient with changing precessional amplitude to constant amplitude oscillations persisting for over 2 ns. These results are consiste...

Damping of a nanomechanical oscillator strongly coupled to a quantum dot
We present theoretical and experimental results on the mechanical damping of an atomic force microscope cantilever strongly coupled to a self-assembled InAs quantum dot. When the cantilever oscillation amplitude is large, its motion dominates the charge dynamics of the dot which in turn leads to nonlinear, amplitude-de...

The spatial damping of magnetohydrodynamic waves in a flowing partially ionised prominence plasma
Solar prominences are partially ionised plasmas displaying flows and oscillations. These oscillations show time and spatial damping and, commonly, have been explained in terms of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves. We study the spatial damping of linear non-adiabatic MHD waves in a flowing partially ionised plasma, having...

Internal dissipation of a polymer
The dynamics of flexible polymer molecules are often assumed to be governed by hydrodynamics of the solvent. However there is considerable evidence that internal dissipation of a polymer contributes as well. Here we investigate the dynamics of a single chain in the absence of solvent to characterize the nature of this ...

Indirect Evidence for Lévy Walks in Squeeze Film Damping
Molecular flow gas damping of mechanical motion in confined geometries, and its associated noise, is important in a variety of fields, including precision measurement, gravitational wave detection, and MEMS devices. We used two torsion balance instruments to measure the strength and distance-dependence of `squeeze film...

Gravitational wave asteroseismology with fast rotating neutron stars
We investigate damping and growth times of the f-mode for rapidly rotating stars and a variety of different polytropic equations of state in the Cowling approximation. We discuss the differences in the eigenfunctions of co- and counterrotating modes and compute the damping times of the f-mode for several EoS and all ro...

Synchrotron oscillation damping due to beam-beam collisions
In DA{\Phi}NE, the Frascati e+/e- collider, the crab waist collision scheme has been successfully implemented in 2008 and 2009. During the collision operations for Siddharta experiment, an unusual synchrotron damping effect has been observed. Indeed, with the longitudinal feedback switched off, the positron beam become...

Landau Damping of Baryon Structure Formation in the Post Reionization Epoch
It has been suggested by Chen and Lai that the proper description of the large scale structure formation of the universe in the post-reionization era, which is conventionally characterized via gas hydrodynamics, should include the plasma collective effects in the formulation. Specifically, it is the combined pressure f...

Passive damping of beam vibrations through distributed electric networks and piezoelectric transducers: prototype design and experimental validation
The aim of this work is two-fold: to design devices for passive electric damping of structural vibrations by distributed piezoelectric transducers and electric networks, and to experimentally validate the effectiveness of such a damping concept. Two different electric networks are employed, namely a purely resistive ne...

Highly-damped quasi-normal frequencies for piecewise Eckart potentials
Highly-damped quasi-normal frequencies are very often of the form omega_n = (offset) + i n (gap). We investigate the genericity of this phenomenon by considering a model potential that is piecewise Eckart (piecewise Poeschl-Teller), and developing an analytic "quantization condition" for the highly-damped quasi-normal ...

Asymptotic Spectrum of Kerr Black Holes in the Small Angular Momentum Limit
We study analytically the highly damped quasinormal modes of Kerr black holes in the small angular momentum limit. To check the previous analytic calculations in the literature, which use a combination of radial and tortoise coordinates, we reproduce all the results using the radial coordinate only. According to the ea...

Exact Tkachenko modes and their damping in the vortex lattice regime of rapidly rotating bosons
We have found an exact analytical solution of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations for the Tkachenko modes of the vortex lattice in the lowest Landau level (LLL) in the thermodynamic limit at any momenta and calculated their damping rates. At finite temperatures both Beliaev and Landau damping leads to momentum independe...

Decoherence and entanglement degradation of a qubit-qutrit system in non-inertial frames
We study the effect of decoherence on a qubit-qutrit system under the influence of global, local and multilocal decoherence in non-inertial frames. We show that the entanglement sudden death can be avoided in non-inertial frames in the presence of amplitude damping, depolarizing and phase damping channels. However, deg...

Ratchet effect on a relativistic particle driven by external forces
We study the ratchet effect of a damped relativistic particle driven by both asymmetric temporal bi-harmonic and time-periodic piecewise constant forces. This system can be formally solved for any external force, providing the ratchet velocity as a non-linear functional of the driving force. This allows us to explicitl...

Nonlinear-damping continuation of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation - a numerical study
We study the nonlinear-damping continuation of singular solutions of the critical and supercritical NLS. Our simulations suggest that for generic initial conditions that lead to collapse in the undamped NLS, the solution of the weakly-damped NLS $$ i\psi_t(t,\X)+\Delta\psi+|\psi|^{p-1}\psi+i\delta|\psi|^{q-1}\psi=0,\qq...

Radiation damping in pulsed Gaussian beams
We consider the effects of radiation damping on the electron dynamics in a Gaussian beam model of a laser field. For high intensities, i.e. with dimensionless intensity a0 \gg 1, it is found that the dynamics divide into three regimes. For low energy electrons (low initial {\gamma}-factor, {\gamma}0) the radiation damp...

Analysis of the absorbing layers for the weakly-compressible lattice Boltzmann schemes
It has been demonstrated that Lattice Boltzmann schemes (LBSs) are very efficient for Computational AeroAcoustics (CAA). In order to handle the issue of absorbing acoustic boundary conditions for LBS, three kinds of damping terms are proposed and added into the right hand sides of the governing equations of LBS. From t...

Formation of bremsstrahlung in an absorptive QED/QCD medium
The radiative energy loss of a relativistic charge in a dense, absorptive medium can be affected significantly by damping phenomena. The effect is more pronounced for large energies of the charge and/or large damping of the radiation. This can be understood in terms of a competition between the formation time of bremss...

Existence and exponential stability of a damped wave equation with dynamic boundary conditions and a delay term
In this paper we consider a multi-dimensional wave equation with dynamic boundary conditions related to the Kelvin-Voigt damping and a delay term acting on the boundary. If the weight of the delay term in the feedback is less than the weight of the term without delay or if it is greater under an assumption between the ...

Analysis of the damped quantum search and its application to the one-dimensional Ising system
An analysis on the damped quantum search by exploring the rate at which the target state is obtained. The results were compared with that of the classical search since the standard Grover's algorithm does not give a convergent result if the number of target state is unknown. For a large number of target states, the cla...

To this aim we extend the method of decoupling of superfluid and normal oscillation modes first suggested in [Gusakov & Kantor PRD 83, 081304(R) (2011)]. All calculations are made self-consistently within the finite temperature superfl...

Universal damping behavior of dipole oscillations of one-dimensional ultracold gases induced by quantum phase slips
We study superflow decay via quantum phase slips in trapped one-dimensional (1D) quantum gases through dipole oscillations induced by sudden displacement of the trapping potential. We find the relation between the damping rate of the dipole oscillation $G$ and the phase-slip nucleation rate $\Gamma$ as $G\propto \Gamma...

Blow-up of solutions to the one-dimensional semilinear wave equation with damping depending on time and space variables
In this paper, we give a small data blow-up result for the one-dimensional semilinear wave equation with damping depending on time and space variables. We show that if the damping term can be regarded as perturbation, that is, non-effective damping in a certain sense, then the solution blows up in finite time for any p...

We give a new, simpler, proof of nonlinear Landau damping on T^d in Gevrey-1/s regularity (s > 1/3) which matches the regularity requirement predicted by the formal analysis of Mouhot and Villani in the original proof of Landau damping [Acta Mathematica 2011]. Our proof combines in a novel way ideas from the original p...
