We investigate whether such solutions appear in the more general case or are artifacts of the GPE. We use two-mode analyses for a variational treatment of the GPE and to treat the Fock equation. An exact diagonalization of the FSE in dual condensates yields degenerate ground states that are very accurately fitted by phase-state representations of the degenerate asymmetric states found in the GPE. The superposition of degenerate asymmetrical states forms a cat state. An alternative form of cat state results from a change of the two-mode basis set.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":641,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Low Temperature Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141866681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method for detecting the occurrence of a resistive transition has been widely adopted in the superconducting magnet. In the case of the voltage monitoring by means of dedicated taps, the electron quench detection device (EQDD) conversion unit, which converts detected high voltages into voltage-drop signal, should be required in the superconducting high field magnet. The power source of traditional quench detecting system, which can monitor for superconducting magnet with middle power operation, is supplied through the power transformer since the transformer can provide galvanic isolation between circuits. On the other hand, in the case of the super high magnet systems such as Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research and International Thermonuclear experimental reactor, since the maximum operation current and voltage of the super high field magnet keep over 60 kA and 50 kV DC, a passive component, which has strong an isolation device and high dielectric resistor qualities, has been required in the super high field magnet. If the power transformer is adopted in the super high field magnet, it can cause high cost for volume capacity since it needs for higher dielectric resistance value over 500 MΩ. Authors proposed the wireless resonance antenna and multi-receiver coils which can keep high level of dielectric resistance value with stability. As well as, the wireless power charging unit can reduce system volume due to multi-charging receivers for one antenna.

To analyze such astromaterials on a sub-micrometer scale, one of the most useful tools is energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) in conjunction with scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM). The conventional semiconductor-based EDS system is sometimes insufficient to resolve emission lines at closely adjacent energies. A transition edge sensor (TES) X-ray microcalorimeter is a promising solution to overcome this problem. We developed a 64-pixel TES X-ray microcalorimeter array which had an energy resolution of approximately 7 eV (FWHM) at an energy band from B Kα to Cu Kα. However, the counting rate was only approximately 1000 count/s/array. The distance between the detector and the sample is 30 cm, limited by the stage of the refrigerator. Therefore, an X-ray polycapillary is used to focus the X-ray, which focus size is 5 mm in diameter, resulting in a detection efficiency of only 5%. To increase the effective area, we developed a large size absorber with a large-scale array. A three-dimensional structure was created to fill the dead space between TES pixels. Additionally, an array of 224 elements was made to increase the detection efficiency by a factor of 10. In this paper, we provide more details of design, fabrication process of the overhang absorber, and device performance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":641,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Low Temperature Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141737290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
