The so-called 'impossibly early galaxy' problem, first identified via the Hubble Space Telescope's observation of galaxies at redshifts z > 10, appears to have been exacerbated by the more recent James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) discovery of galaxy candidates at even higher redshifts (z ∼ 17) which, however, are yet to be confirmed spectroscopically. These candidates would have emerged only ∼ 230 million years after the big bang in the context of ΛCDM, requiring a more rapid star formation in the earliest galaxies than appears to be permitted by simulations adopting the concordance model parameters. This time-compression problem would therefore be inconsistent with the age-redshift relation predicted by ΛCDM. Instead, the sequence of star formation and galaxy assembly would confirm the timeline predicted by the Rh = ct universe, a theoretically advanced version of ΛCDM that incorporates the 'zero active mass' condition from general relativity. This model has accounted for many cosmological data better than ΛCDM, and eliminates all of its inconsistencies, including the horizon and initial entropy problems. The latest JWST discoveries at z 14, if confirmed, would add further support to the idea that the Rh = ct universe is favored by the observation over the current standard model. © 2023, CC BY.

Spontaneous symmetry breaking in grand unified theories is thought to have produced an exceedingly large number of magnetic monopoles in the early Universe. In the absence of suppression or annihilation, these very massive particles should be dominating the cosmic energy budget today, but none has ever been found. Inflation was invented in part to dilute their number, thereby rendering their density undetectable by current instruments. Should the inflationary paradigm not survive, however, the ensuing disagreement between theory and observation would constitute a cosmological ‘monopole problem’ and create further tension for any extension to the standard model of particle physics. But as is also true for all horizon problems, a monopole overabundance emerges only in cosmologies with an initial period of deceleration. We show that the alternative Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker cosmology known as the Rh = ct universe completely eliminates all such anomalies rather trivially and naturally, without the need for an inflated expansion. We find that the monopole energy density today would be completely undetectable in Rh = ct. Evidence continues to grow that the zero active mass condition from general relativity ought to be an essential ingredient in ΛCDM. © 2023, CC BY.

Recent attempts at measuring the variation of c using an assortment of standard candles and the redshift-dependent Hubble expansion rate inferred from the currently available catalog of cosmic chronometers have tended to show that the speed of light appears to be constant, at least up to z ∼ 2. A notable exception is the use of high-redshift UV + X-ray quasars, whose Hubble diagram seems to indicate a ∼ 2.7σ deviation of c from its value c0 (≡ 2.99792458 × 1010 cm s−1) on Earth. We show in this paper, however, that this anomaly is due to an error in the derived relation between the luminosity distance, DL, and H(z) when c is allowed to vary with redshift, and an imprecise calibration of the quasar catalog. When these deficiences are addressed correctly, one finds that c/c0 = 0.95 ± 0.14 in the redshift range 0 . z . 2, fully consistent with zero variation within the measurement errors.

Studies of the Universe’s transition to smoothness in the context of ΛCDM have all pointed to a transition radius no larger than ∼ 300 Mpc. These are based on a broad array of tracers for the matter power spectrum, including galaxies, clusters, quasars, the Ly-α forest and anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background. It is therefore surprising, if not anomalous, to find many structures extending out over scales as large as ∼ 2 Gpc, roughly an order of magnitude greater than expected. Such a disparity suggests that new physics may be contributing to the formation of large-scale structure, warranting a consideration of the alternative FLRW cosmology known as the Rh = ct universe. This model has successfully eliminated many other problems in ΛCDM. In this paper, we calculate the fractal (or Hausdorff) dimension in this cosmology as a function of distance, showing a transition to smoothness at ∼ 2.2 Gpc, fully accommodating all of the giant structures seen thus far. This outcome adds further observational support for Rh = ct over the standard model. © 2023, CC BY.

Our concept of mass has evolved considerably over the centuries, most notably from Newton to Einstein, and then even more vigorously with the establishment of the standard model and the subsequent discovery of the Higgs boson. Mass is now invoked in various guises depending on the circumstance: it is used to represent inertia, or as a coupling constant in Newton’s law of universal gravitation, and even as a repository of a mysterious form of energy associated with a particle at rest. But recent developments in cosmology have demonstrated that rest-mass energy is most likely the gravitational binding energy of a particle in causal contact with that portion of the Universe within our gravitational horizon. In this paper, we examine how all these variations on the concept of mass are actually interrelated via this new development and the recognition that the source of gravity in general relativity is ultimately the total energy in the system. © 2023, CC BY.

Ferrite materials have found applications in various fields, particularly in biomedical fields. This work involves the preparation of Magnesium ferrite nanoparticles (MgFNPs) by biosynthesis protocol using polyethylene glycol (PEG-4000) and gongronema latifolium (GL) extracts as capping and reducing agents, to heighten the properties of MgFNPs for effective hyperthermia applications. Various characterization techniques were used to determine the properties of the formulated samples. Spherical morphology with low agglomeration was observed by the SEM analysis. The XRD showed a crystallite size between 10 and 49 nm. The VSM confirmed the superparamagnetic nature of the samples. The heating ability was observed to decrease to the therapeutic rage with GL and PEG. However, further investigations for the hyperthermia application were performed on the formulated samples by estimating their Specific loss power (SLP). The samples showed high SLP between 130.6 and 290.8 W/g. The materials capped with PEG has better properties for hyperthermia applications. © 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

There has been intense recent interest in the two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) that form at the surfaces and interfaces of KTaO3 (KTO), with the discovery of superconductivity at temperatures significantly higher than those of similar 2DEGs based on SrTiO3 (STO). Like STO heterostructures, these KTO 2DEGs are formed by depositing an overlayer on top of appropriately prepared KTO surfaces. Some of these overlayers are magnetic, and the resulting 2DEGs show signatures of this magnetism, including hysteresis in the magnetoresistance (MR). Here we show that KTO 2DEGs fabricated by depositing AlOx on top of KTO also show hysteretic MR, indicative of long range magnetic order, even though the samples nominally contain no intrinsic magnetic elements. The hysteresis appears in both the transverse and longitudinal resistance in magnetic fields both perpendicular to and in the plane of the 2DEG. The hysteretic MR has different characteristic fields and shapes for surfaces of different crystal orientations, and vanishes above a few Kelvin. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that the magnetism likely arises from Ta4+ local moments created in the presence of oxygen vacancies. © 2024, CC BY-NC-ND.

Nonlinear Hall Effect in KTaO3Two-Dimensional Electron Gases

arXiv 2024年

The observation of a Hall effect, a finite transverse voltage induced by a longitudinal current, usually requires the breaking of time-reversal symmetry, for example through the application of an external magnetic field or the presence of long range magnetic order in a sample. Recently it was suggested that under certain symmetry conditions, the presence of finite Berry curvatures in the band structure of a system with time-reversal symmetry but without inversion symmetry can give rise to a nonlinear Hall effect in the presence of a probe current. In order to observe the nonlinear Hall effect, one requires a finite component of a so-called Berry dipole along the direction of the probe current. We report here measurements of the nonlinear Hall effect in two-dimensional electron gases fabricated on the surface of KTaO3with different surface crystal orientations as a function of the probe current, a transverse electric field and back gate voltage. For all three crystal orientations, the transverse electric field modifies the nonlinear Hall effect. We discuss our results in the context of the current understanding of the nonlinear Hall effect as well as potential experimental artifacts that may give rise to the same effects. © 2024, CC BY-NC-SA.
