We propose to cool a mechanical resonator close to its ground state via an electromagnetically-inducedtransparency-(EIT-) like cooling mechanism in a double-cavity optomechanical system, where an additional cavity couples to the original one in the standard optomechanical system. By choosing optimal parameters such that the cooling process of the mechanical resonator corresponds to the maximum value of the optical fluctuation spectrum and the heating process to the minimum one, the mechanical resonator can be cooled with the final mean phonon number less than that at the absence of the additional cavity. And we show the mechanical resonator may be cooled close to its ground state via such an EIT-like cooling mechanism even when the original resolved sideband condition is not fulfilled at the absence of the additional cavity.

The crystal structure and magnetic properties of SmCo7−xSix (x=0.1–0.9) compounds were studied by means of x-ray powder diffraction and magnetic measurements. Rietveld refinement of x-ray powder diffraction pattern shows that the as-cast compound SmCo7−xSix with x=0.9 crystallizes in the TbCu7-type structure with the space group P6/mmm, and the doping element Si has a distinct preference to occupy the 3g site. According to the refinement result, the composition of the compound is derived as SmCo5.85Si0.90. The compound SmCo5.85Si0.90 exhibits ferromagnetic order with the Curie temperature of about 717 K and a saturation moment of about 6.58±0.05 μB/f.u. The SmCo5.85Si0.90 compound shows a strong uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy, and an anomalous increase of magnetization at low temperature is observed in an external field applied perpendicular to the easy direction of magnetization.

The magnetic properties of the LaCo13- x Al x and LaFe13- x Al x compounds have been calculated, and the valence electronic structures of these compounds have been analyzed using empirical electron theory. In general, the calculated results agree with those of the experiments. Analysis of the electronic structures reveals the relation between the electronic structures and magnetic properties of these compounds.
