    Magnetic quantum oscillations for the surface states of topological insulator Bi2Se3

    No full text
    We study quantum oscillations of the magnetization in Bi2Se3 (111) surface system in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field. The combined spin-chiral Dirac cone and Landau quantization produce profound effects on the magnetization properties that are fundamentally different from those in the conventional semiconductor two-dimensional electron gas. In particular, we show that the oscillating center in the magnetization chooses to pick up positive or negative values depending on whether the zero-mode Landau level is occupied or empty. An intuitive analysis of these features is given and the subsequent effects on the magnetic susceptibility and Hall conductance are also discussed

    Superfluidity and effective mass of magnetoexcitons in topological insulator bilayers: Effect of inter-Landau-level Coulomb interaction

    No full text
    The effective mass and superfluidity-normal phase transition temperature of magnetoexcitons in topological insulator bilayers are theoretically investigated. The intra-Landau-level Coulomb interaction is treated perturbatively, from which the effective magnetoexciton mass is analytically discussed. The inclusion of inter-Landau-level Coulomb interaction by more exact numerical diagonalization of the Hamiltonian brings out important modifications to magnetoexciton properties, which are specially characterized by prominent reduction in the magnetoexciton effective mass and promotion in the superfluidity-normal phase transition temperature at a wide range of external parameters

    Specificity and definiteness in sentence and discourse structure

    No full text
    In this paper, I argue that this informally given list of characteristics covers only a certain subclass of specific indefinites. […] In particular, I dispute the definition of specific indefinites as "the speaker has the referent in mind" as rather confusing if one is working with a semantic theory. Furthermore, I discuss "relative specificity", it. cases in which the specific indefinite does not exhibit wide, but intermediate or narrow scope behavior. Based on such data, I argue that specificity expresses a referential dependency between introduced discourse items. Informally speaking, the specificity of the indefinite expression something [...] expresses that the reference of the expression depends on the reference of another expression, here, on the expression a monk, not the speaker

Distribution. China (Yunnan). Etymology. The specific epithet of the new species is derived from the Latin furcillatus, referring to the bifurcate apex of the costal part of the valva.Published as part of Tao, Zhulin, Wang, Yuqi & Wang, Shuxia, 2021, Taxonomy of the genus Autosticha Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Autostichidae) in China Descriptions of fifteen new species, pp. 347-370 in Zootaxa 5048 (3) on pages 367-368, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5048.3.3, http://zenodo.org/record/555640
