A potential integration method for Birkhoffian system 胡楚勒, 解加芳 2008 (4):  1153-1155.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/001 摘要 ( 1925 )   PDF(131KB) ( 977 )   This paper is intended to apply the potential integration method to the differential equations of the Birkhoffian system. The method is that, for a given Birkhoffian system, its differential equations are first rewritten as 2n first-order differential equations. Secondly, the corresponding partial differential equations are obtained by potential integration method and the solution is expressed as a complete integral. Finally, the integral of the system is obtained. 相关文章 | 计量指标

This method can also be used to explore new periodic wave solutions for other nonlinear evolution equations. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Implementation of n-qubit Deutsch--Jozsa algorithm using resonant interaction in cavity QED 王洪福, 张寿 2008 (4):  1165-1173.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/003 摘要 ( 1936 )   PDF(316KB) ( 863 )   We propose a scheme to implement the n-qubit Deutsch--Jozsa algorithm based on resonant interaction between the atoms and a single-mode cavity. In the scheme, the resonant transitions between two ground states and one excited state of an atom are changed alternately by adjusting the cavity frequency appropriately, and the operations required to complete the algorithm can be significantly simplified following the increment of the number of qubits. The implementation of the scheme in experiment would show the full power of quantum algorithm and would be significative and important for more complicated quantum algorithm in cavity quantum electrodynamics. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Preparation of cluster state in large detuned cavity 邹长林, 高国军, 卢艳, 李大创, 杨名, 曹卓良 2008 (4):  1174-1177.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/004 摘要 ( 1492 )   PDF(161KB) ( 579 )   An experimentally realizable physical scheme for preparing multiqubit cluster states from a large detuned atom--cavity interaction is proposed. The scheme is free of any type of measurement and insensitive to the cavity decay, and the cavity field is only virtually excited so that there is no information exchanging between atom and cavity. The time required for the gate operations is very short, which is important for decoherence. We also discuss the experimental feasibility of our scheme. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Practical non-orthogonal decoy state quantum key distribution with heralded single photon source 米景隆, 王发强, 林青群, 梁瑞生 2008 (4):  1178-1183.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/005 摘要 ( 1673 )   PDF(191KB) ( 782 )   Recently the performance of the quantum key distribution (QKD) is substantially improved by the decoy state method and the non-orthogonal encoding protocol, separately. In this paper, a practical non-orthogonal decoy state protocol with a heralded single photon source (HSPS) for QKD is presented. The protocol is based on 4 states with different intensities, i.e. one signal state and three decoy states. The signal state is for generating keys; the decoy states are for detecting the eavesdropping and estimating the fraction of single-photon and two-photon pulses. We have discussed three cases of this protocol, i.e. the general case, the optimal case and the special case. Moreover, the final key rate over transmission distance is simulated. For the low dark count of the HSPS and the utilization of the two-photon pulses, our protocol has a higher key rate and a longer transmission distance than any other decoy state protocol. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Influence of dark energy on time-like geodesic motion in Schwarzschild spacetime 陈菊华, 王永久 2008 (4):  1184-1188.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/006 摘要 ( 1640 )   PDF(180KB) ( 931 )   In this paper we investigate the influence of the dark energy on the time-like geodesic motion of a particle in Schwarzschild spacetime by analysing the behaviour of the effective potential which appears in an equation of motion. For the non-radial time-like geodesics, we find a bound orbit when the particle energy is in an appropriate range, and also find another possible orbit, which is that the particle drops straightly into the singularity of a black hole or escapes to infinity. For the radial time-like geodesics, we find an unstable circular orbit when the particle energy is the critical value, in which case it is possible for the particle to escape to infinity. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Effect of interaction strength on gap solitons of Bose--Einstein condensates in optical lattices 杨如曙, 杨江河 2008 (4):  1189-1195.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/007 摘要 ( 1679 )   PDF(331KB) ( 758 )   We have developed a systematic analytical approach to the study on the dynamic properties of the linear and the nonlinear excitations for quasi-one-dimensional Bose--Einstein condensate trapped in optical lattices. A novel linear dispersion relation and an algebraic soliton solution of the condensate are derived analytically under consideration of Bose--Einstein condensate with a periodic potential. By analysing the soliton solution, we find that the interatomic interaction strength has an important effect on soliton dynamic properties of Bose--Einstein condensate. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Parameters estimation online for Lorenz system by a novel quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization 高飞, 李卓球, 童恒庆 2008 (4):  1196-1201.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/008 摘要 ( 1527 )   PDF(363KB) ( 936 )   This paper proposes a novel quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (NQPSO) for the estimation of chaos' unknown parameters by transforming them into nonlinear functions' optimization. By means of the techniques in the following three aspects: contracting the searching space self-adaptively; boundaries restriction strategy; substituting the particles' convex combination for their centre of mass, this paper achieves a quite effective search mechanism with fine equilibrium between exploitation and exploration. Details of applying the proposed method and other methods into Lorenz systems are given, and experiments done show that NQPSO has better adaptability, dependability and robustness. It is a successful approach in unknown parameter estimation online especially in the cases with white noises. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Breaking chaotic shift key communication via adaptive key identification 任海鹏, 韩崇昭, 刘丁 2008 (4):  1202-1208.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/009 摘要 ( 1440 )   PDF(222KB) ( 591 )   This paper proposes an adaptive parameter identification method for breaking chaotic shift key communication from the transmitted signal in public channel. The sensitive dependence property of chaos on parameter mismatch is used for chaos adaptive synchronization and parameter identification. An index function about the synchronization error is defined and conjugate gradient method is used to minimize the index function and to search the transmitter's parameter (key). By using proposed method, secure key is recovered from transmitted signal generated by low dimensional chaos and hyper chaos switching communication. Multi-parameters can also be identified from the transmitted signal with noise. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Controlling beam halo-chaos via backstepping design 高远, 孔峰 2008 (4):  1209-1215.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/010 摘要 ( 1495 )   PDF(643KB) ( 867 )   A backstepping control method is proposed for controlling beam halo-chaos in the periodic focusing channels (PFCs) of high-current ion accelerator. The analysis and numerical results show that the method, via adjusting an exterior magnetic field, is effective to control beam halo chaos with five types of initial distribution ion beams, all statistical quantities of the beam halo-chaos are largely reduced, and the uniformity of ion beam is improved. This control method has an important value of application, for the exterior magnetic field can be easily adjusted in the periodical magnetic focusing channels in experiment. 相关文章 | 计量指标

A possible experimental observable for the determination of neutron skin thickness 马春旺, 傅瑶, 方德清, 马余刚, 蔡翔舟, 郭威, 田文栋, 王宏伟 2008 (4):  1216-1222.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/011 摘要 ( 1531 )   PDF(267KB) ( 680 )   The dependence between neutron skin thickness and neutron abrasion cross section ($\sigma_{\rm nabr}$) for neutron-rich nuclei is investigated within the framework of the statistical abrasion ablation model. Assuming that the density distributions for proton and neutron are of Fermi-type, and adjusting the diffuseness parameter of neutron density distribution in the droplet model, we find out the good linear correlation between the neutron skin thickness and the abrasion cross section $\sigma_{\rm nabr}$ for neutron-rich nuclei. The uncertainty of neutron skin thickness determined from $\sigma_{\rm nabr}$ is very small. It is suggested that $\sigma_{\rm nabr}$ can be used as a new experimental observable to extract the neutron skin thickness for neutron-rich nucleus. The scaling behaviours between neutron skin thickness and $\sigma_{\rm nabr}$, separately, for isotopes of $^{26-35}$Na, $^{44-56}$Ar, $^{48-60}$Ca, $^{67-78}$Ni are also investigated. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Femtosecond pulse laser-induced self-organized nanostructures on the surface of ZnO crystal 钟敏建, 郭广磊, 杨俊毅, 马宁华, 叶果, 郭晓东, 李儒新, 马洪良 2008 (4):  1223-1226.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/012 摘要 ( 1871 )   PDF(1075KB) ( 823 )   This paper reports self-organized nanostructures observed on the surface of ZnO crystal after irradiation by a focused beam of a femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser with a repetition rate of 250\,kHz. For a linearly polarized femtosecond laser, the periodic nanograting structure on the ablation crater surface was promoted. The period of self-organization structures is about 180\,nm. The grating orientation is adjusted by the laser polarization direction. A long range Bragg-like grating is formed by moving the sample at a speed of 10\,\mu m/s. For a circularly polarized laser beam, uniform spherical nanoparticles were formed as a result of Coulomb explosion during the interaction of near-infrared laser with ZnO crystal. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Ionization and single electron capture in collision of highly charged Ar16+ ions with helium 王菲, 芶秉聪 2008 (4):  1227-1230.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/013 摘要 ( 1347 )   PDF(324KB) ( 594 )   This paper uses the two-centre atomic orbital close-coupling method to study the ionization and the single electron capture in collision of highly charged Ar16+ ions with He atoms in the velocity range of 1.2--1.9 a.u.. The relative importance of single ionization (SI) to single capture (SC) is explored. The comparison between the calculation and experimental data shows that the SI/SC cross section ratios from this work are in good agreement with experimental data. The total single electron ionization cross sections and the total single electron capture cross sections are also given for this collision. The investigation of the partial electron capture cross section shows a general tendency of capture to larger n and l with increasing velocity from 1.2 to 1.9 a.u.. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Photodetachment of H-- in an electric field between two parallel interfaces 王德华, 于永江 2008 (4):  1231-1236.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/014 摘要 ( 1530 )   PDF(624KB) ( 588 )   By using the closed orbit theory, the photodetachment cross section of H- in a static electric field between two parallel elastic interfaces is derived and calculated. It is found that the photodetachment cross section depends on the electric field and the distance between the ion and the elastic interface. The oscillation of the cross section becomes more complicated than in the case of H- near one elastic interface. The results show that near the detachment threshold, the influence of the additional interface can be neglected. But with the increase of the energy, its influence becomes great. At some energies, the cross sections display sharp peaks, contrasting with the staircase structure when only one interface exists. This study provides a new understanding of the photodetachment process of H- in the presence of external field and interfaces. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Coulomb expansion of deuterated methane clusters irradiated by an ultrashort intense laser pulse 李洪玉, 刘建胜, 王成, 倪国权, 李儒新, 徐至展 2008 (4):  1237-1241.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/015 摘要 ( 1629 )   PDF(536KB) ( 963 )   The simulations of three-dimensional particle dynamics show that when irradiated by an ultrashort intense laser pulse, the deuterated methane cluster expands and the majority of deuterons overrun the more slowly expanding carbon ions, resulting in the creation of two separated subclusters. The enhanced deuteron kinetic energy and a narrow peak around the energy maximum in the deuteron energy distribution make a considerable contribution to the efficiency of nuclear fusion compared with the case of homonuclear deuterium clusters. With the intense laser irradiation, the nuclear fusion yield increases with the increase of the cluster size, so that deuterated heteronuclear clusters with larger sizes are required to achieve a greater neutron yield. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Analytic solutions for degenerate Raman-coupled model 张智明, 於亚飞 2008 (4):  1242-1247.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/016 摘要 ( 1328 )   PDF(188KB) ( 491 )   The Raman-coupled interaction between an atom and a single mode of a cavity field is studied. For the cases in which a light field is initially in a coherent state and in a thermal state separately, we have derived the analytic expressions for the time evolutions of atomic population difference $W$, modulus $B$ of the Bloch vector, and entropy $E$. We find that the time evolutions of these quantities are periodic with a period of $\pi $. The maxima of $W$ and $B$ appear at the scaled interaction time points $\tau = k\pi (k = 0,1,2,\ldots)$. At these time points, $E = 0$, which shows that the atom and the field are not entangled. Between these time points, $E \ne 0$, which means that the atom and the field are entangled. When the field is initially in a coherent state, near the maxima, the envelope of $W$ is a Gaussian function with a variance of $1 /{\left( {4\bar {n}} \right)}$ ($\bar {n}$ is the mean number of photons). Under the envelope, $W$ oscillates at a frequency of $\bar {n} / \pi $. When the field is initially in a thermal state, near the maxima, $W$ is a Lorentz function with a width of $1/ \bar {n}$. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Fidelity of quantum information for V-type three-level atom interacting with a number state light field in Kerr medium 刘素梅, 贺安之, 纪运景 2008 (4):  1248-1253.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/017 摘要 ( 1607 )   PDF(3297KB) ( 683 )   In this paper the evolution characteristics of the fidelity of quantum information for the V-type three-level atom interacting with number state light field in Kerr medium are investigated. It shows that the periodicity of the evolutions of fidelity of quantum information is influenced by the Kerr coefficient, the photon number of the initial field and intensity of light. The evolutions of the fidelity of quantum information are modulated by the initial number state field. The Rabi oscillation frequency and the modulation frequency of fidelity for the field and the system vary with the value of the Kerr coefficient. The evolutions of fidelity of quantum information obviously show the quantum collapse and revival behaviours in the system of atom interacting with light field. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Wigner functions and tomograms of the photon-depleted even and odd coherent states 王继锁, 孟祥国 2008 (4):  1254-1262.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/018 摘要 ( 1744 )   PDF(2793KB) ( 512 )   Using the coherent state representation of Wigner operator and the technique of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators, this paper derives the Wigner functions for the photon-depleted even and odd coherent states (PDEOCSs). Moreover, in terms of the Wigner functions with respect to the complex parameter $\alpha $ the nonclassical properties of the PDEOCSs are discussed. The results show that the nonclassicality for the state $\left| {\beta ,m} \right\rangle _{\rm o} $ (or $\left| {\beta ,m} \right\rangle _{\rm e} )$ is more pronounced when $m$ is even (or odd). According to the marginal distributions of the Wigner functions, the physical meaning of the Wigner functions is given. Further, the tomograms of the PDEOCSs are calculated with the aid of newly introduced intermediate coordinate-momentum representation in quantum optics. 相关文章 | 计量指标

The theoretical secret information rate after error correction and privacy amplification is given in terms of the squeezed parameter and channel parameters. The results show that the two-mode squeezed state quantum key distribution is secure against an optimal beam splitter attack. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Sideband manipulation of population inversion in a three-level Λ atomic system 郭洪菊, 钮月萍, 金石琦, 龚尚庆 2008 (4):  1269-1273.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/020 摘要 ( 1380 )   PDF(351KB) ( 570 )   Sideband manipulation of population inversion in a three-level $\Lambda$ atomic configuration is investigated theoretically. Compared with the case of a nearly monochromatic field, a population inversion between an excited state and a ground state has been found in a wide sideband intensity range by increasing the difference in frequency between three components. Furthermore, the population inversion can be controlled by the sum of the relative phases of the sideband components of the trichromatic pump field with respective to the phase of the central component. Changing the sum phase from 0 to $\pi$, the population inversion between the excited state and the ground state can increase within nearly half of the sideband intensity range. At the same time, the sideband intensity range that corresponds to the system exhibiting inversion $\rho_{00}>\rho_{11}$ also becomes wider evidently. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Effects of transverse mode coupling and optical confinement factor on gallium-nitride based laser diode 靳晓民, 章蓓, 代涛, 张国义 2008 (4):  1274-1279.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/021 摘要 ( 1540 )   PDF(183KB) ( 568 )   We have investigated the transverse mode pattern and the optical field confinement factor of gallium nitride (GaN) laser diodes (LDs) theoretically. For the particular LD structure, composed of approximate 4 $\mu $m thick n-GaN substrate layer, the maximum optical confinement factor was found to be corresponding to the 5$^{\rm th}$ order transverse mode, the so-called lasing mode. Moreover, the value of the maximum confinement factor varies periodically when increasing the n-side GaN layer thickness, which simultaneously changes and increases the oscillation mode order of the GaN LD caused by the effects of mode coupling. The effects of the thickness and the average composition of Al in the AlGaN/GaN superlattice on the optical confinement factor are also presented. Finally, the mode coupling and optimization of the layers in the GaN-based LD are discussed. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Size-dependent optical properties and carriers dynamics in CdSe/ZnS quantum dots 马红, 马国宏, 王文军, 高学喜, 马洪良 2008 (4):  1280-1285.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/022 摘要 ( 1721 )   PDF(744KB) ( 807 )   Size-dependence of optical properties and energy relaxation in CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) were investigated by two-colour femtosecond (fs) pump--probe (400/800 nm) and picosecond time-resolved photoluminescence (ps TRPL) experiments. Pump--probe measurement results show that there are two components for the excited carriers relaxation, the fast one with a time constant of several ps arises from the Auger-type recombination, which shows almost particle size-independence. The slow relaxation component with a time constant of several decades of ns can be clearly determined with ps TRPL spectroscopy in which the slow relaxation process shows strong particle size-dependence. The decay time constants increase from 21 to 34 ns with the decrease of particle size from 3.2 to 2.1 nm. The room-temperature decay lifetime is due to the thermal mixing of bright and dark excitons, and the size-dependence of slow relaxation process can be explained very well in terms of simple three-level model. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Compact efficient optical parametric generator internal to a Q-switched Nd:YVO4 laser with periodically poled MgO:LiNbO3 纪峰, 姚建铨, 张百钢, 张铁犁, 徐德刚, 王鹏 2008 (4):  1286-1290.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/023 摘要 ( 1405 )   PDF(556KB) ( 648 )   This paper demonstrates a compact efficient optical parametric generator internal to a Q-switched diode-end-pumped Nd:YVO$_{4}$ laser with periodically poled MgO:LiNbO3(PPMgLN). With the Q-switch set at a repetition rate of 25kHz and the PPMgLN crystal operated at room temperature (25\du\,), the intracavity optical parametric generator threshold was reached as a diode pump power of 0.9\,W. A maximum signal output power of 0.34W with a pulse width of 25\,ns and a beam quality factor of 1.4 was obtained at an incident diode power of 3.4\,W, leading to a conversion efficiency of 10{\%} with a slope efficiency of 14.4{\%}. By varying the crystal temperature from 25 to 200\du, the output signal wavelengths were tuned in range of 1506--1565\,nm. Over a 30-minutes interval, the instability of the signal power was measured to be less than 1{\%}. In addition, the threshold pump intensity for the intracavity optical parametric generator is theoretically investigated, and the obtained result is in good agreement with the experimental results. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Linear and nonlinear optical properties of ZnO nanorod arrays 肖思, 苏雄睿, 李春, 韩一波, 方国家, 王取泉 2008 (4):  1291-1297.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/024 摘要 ( 1501 )   PDF(1301KB) ( 835 )   Polarization-dependent linear absorption, second-harmonic generation (SHG) and 3rd-order nonlinearities of well-aligned ZnO nanorod arrays have been investigated with ps pulses. The depressed spectral width and the enhanced intensity of reflective SHG along the long axis of ZnO nanorods were observed by using p-polarized pulses, which is explained by the optical confinements. The nonlinear absorption coefficient measured with s-polarization reached the maximum 4.0$\times $10$^{4}$cm/GW at the wavelength $\sim $750\,nm, which revealed a large two-photon resonance absorption attributed to the quantum confined exciton when the polarization is vertical to the long axis of ZnO nanorod. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Observations of defect propagation in [100]-oriented opal-type photonic crystals 金崇君, Richard M. De La Rue, Nigel P.Johnson 2008 (4):  1298-1304.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/025 摘要 ( 1419 )   PDF(10351KB) ( 538 )   Charged colloidal suspensions have been used as experimental models for the study of crystal nucleation. Here we propose that the technique of template-assisted colloidal self-assembly can be used to visualize the effects of defect propagation in atomic crystal films produced using epitaxial growth. Templates with periodic line defects were used to grow [100]-oriented three-dimensional photonic crystals by means of the template-assisted colloidal self-assembly method, aided by capillary and gravitational forces. The defect propagation in the [100]-oriented photonic crystal was observed using scanning electron microscopy, both at the surface of the crystal and on cleaved facets. This method is useful in the understanding of defect propagation in the growth of colloidal films on templates - and the same approach may also prove useful for the understanding of atomic crystal growth on substrates with defects. Additionally, the deliberate incorporation of line defects may prove valuable as a way of introducing waveguide channels into three-dimensional photonic crystals. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Comparison of the mechanism of gap formation for tri- and bi-component phononic crystal 赵宏刚, 温激鸿, 刘耀宗, 郁殿龙, 王刚, 温熙森 2008 (4):  1305-1311.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/026 摘要 ( 1422 )   PDF(864KB) ( 819 )   Using an exact Mie scattering solution, this paper investigates the mode conversions during the Mie scattering of a single bi- or one-component sphere in unbounded epoxy. Then the formation mechanism of the first complete gap in the corresponding tri- or bi-component phononic crystal is investigated by the multiple-scattering method. It is shown that the heavy density of the scatterer plays an essential role in the Mie resonance and the formation of the gaps for both types of the phononic crystals. For the tri-component phononic crystal, the gap is mainly induced by the Mie resonance of the single scatterer. For the bi-component phononic crystal, the transverse wave (by mode-conversion during the Mie scattering under a longitudinal wave incidence) is modulated by the periodicity and governed by the Bloch theory, which induces the gap cooperatively. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Simulation study on reconstruction model of three-dimensional temperature distribution within visible range in furnace 刘冬, 王飞, 黄群星, 严建华, 池涌, 岑可法 2008 (4):  1312-1317.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/027 摘要 ( 1511 )   PDF(1657KB) ( 662 )   This paper presents a reconstruction model of three-dimensional temperature distribution in furnace based on radiative energy images captured by charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras within the visible wavelength range. Numerical simulation case was used in this study and a zigzag eccentric temperature distribution was assumed to verify the model. Least square QR-factorization (LSQR) method was introduced to deal with reconstruction equation. It is found that the reconstructed temperature distributions in low-temperature areas had some fluctuations and high-temperature areas were reconstructed well. The whole reconstruction relative error was mainly due to errors in low-temperature areas and the relative error for highest-temperature reconstruction was quite small. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation of the impulse delivering from laser-produced plasma to solid target 杨雁南, 杨波, 朱金荣, 沈中华, 陆建, 倪晓武 2008 (4):  1318-1325.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/028 摘要 ( 1487 )   PDF(728KB) ( 787 )   A plasma is produced in air by using a high-intensity Q-switch Nd:YAG pulsed laser to irradiate a solid target, and the impulses delivering from the plasma to the target are measured at different laser power densities. Analysing the formation process of laser plasma and the laser supported detonation wave (LSDW) and using fluid mechanics theory and Pirri's methods, an approximately theoretical solution of the impulse delivering from the plasma to the target under our experimental condition is found. Furthermore, according to the formation time of plasma and the variation of pressure in plasma in a non-equilibrium state, a physical model of the interaction between the pulse laser and the solid target is developed. The plasma evolutions with time during and after the laser pulse irradiating the target are simulated numerically by using a three-dimensional difference scheme. And the numerical solutions of the impulse delivering from the plasma to the target are obtained. A comparison among the theoretical, numerical and experimental results and their analyses are performed. The experimental results are explained reasonably. The consistency between numerical results and experimental results implies that the numerical calculation model used in this paper can well describe the mechanical action of the laser on the target. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Growth of β-Ga2O3 nanorods by ammoniating Ga2O3/V thin films on Si substrate 王公堂, 薛成山, 杨兆柱 2008 (4):  1326-1330.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/029 摘要 ( 1360 )   PDF(3281KB) ( 693 )   This paper reports that β-Ga2O3 nanorods have been synthesized by ammoniating Ga2O3 films on a V middle layer deposited on Si(111) substrates. The synthesized nanorods were confirmed as monoclinic Ga2O3 by x-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectra. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy reveal that the grown β-Ga2O3 nanorods have a smooth and clean surface with diameters ranging from 100nm to 200\,nm and lengths typically up to 2\mum. High resolution TEM and selected-area electron diffraction shows that the nanorods are pure monoclinic Ga2O3 single crystal.

Existences and stabilities of bright and dark breathers in a general one-dimensional discrete monatomic Chain 徐权, 汤凤云, 田强 2008 (4):  1331-1340.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/030 摘要 ( 1551 )   PDF(2141KB) ( 557 )   A general one-dimensional discrete monatomic model is investigated by using the multiple-method. It is proven that the discrete bright breathers (DBBs) and discrete dark breathers (DDBs) exist in this model at the anti-continuous limit, and then the concrete models of the DBBs and DDBs are also presented by the multiple-scale approach (MSA) and the quasi-discreteness approach (QDA). When the results are applied to some particular models, the same conclusions as those presented in corresponding references are achieved. In addition, we use the method of the linearization analysis to investigate this system without the high order terms of $\varepsilon$. It is found that the DBBs and DDBs are linearly stable only when coupling parameter $\chi$ is small, of which the limited value is obtained by using an analytical method. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Mean-field potential calculations of high-pressure equation of state for BeO 张其黎, 张平, 宋海峰, 刘海风 2008 (4):  1341-1348.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/031 摘要 ( 1410 )   PDF(246KB) ( 706 )   A systematic study of the Hugoniot equation of state, phase transition, and the other thermodynamic properties including the Hugoniot temperature, the electronic and ionic heat capacities, and the Gr\"{u}neisen parameter for shock-compressed BeO, has been carried out by calculating the total free energy. The method of calculations combines first-principles treatment for 0\,K and finite-T electronic contribution and the mean-field-potential approach for the vibrational contribution of the lattice ion to the total energy. Our calculated Hugoniot is in good agreement with the experimental data. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Analysis of performance and optimum configuration of two-stage semiconductor thermoelectric module 李开振, 梁瑞生, 魏正军 2008 (4):  1349-1354.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/032 摘要 ( 1363 )   PDF(390KB) ( 670 )   In this paper, the theoretical analysis and simulating calculation were conducted for a basic two-stage semiconductor thermoelectric module, which contains one thermocouple in the second stage and several thermocouples in the first stage. The study focused on the configuration of the two-stage semiconductor thermoelectric cooler, especially investigating the influences of some parameters, such as the current $I_1 $ of the first stage, the area $A_1 $ of every thermocouple and the number $n$ of thermocouples in the first stage, on the cooling performance of the module. The obtained results of analysis indicate that changing the current $I_1 $ of the first stage, the area $A_1 $ of thermocouples and the number $n$ of thermocouples in the first stage can improve the cooling performance of the module. These results can be used to optimize the configuration of the two-stage semiconductor thermoelectric module and provide guides for the design and application of thermoelectric cooler. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Phase transition and thermodynamic properties of SrS via first-principles calculations 程艳, 逯来玉, 贾偶鹤, 陈向荣 2008 (4):  1355-1359.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/033 摘要 ( 1474 )   PDF(231KB) ( 791 )   The phase transition of SrS from NaCl structure (B1) to CsCl structure (B2) is investigated by means of ab initio plane-wave pseudopotential density functional theory, and the thermodynamic properties of the B1 and the B2 structures are obtained through the quasi-harmonic Debye model. It is found that the transition phase from the B1 to the B2 structures occurs at 17.9\,GPa, which is in good agreement with experimental data and other calculated results. Moreover, the thermodynamic properties (including specific heat capacity, the Debye temperature, thermal expansion and Gr\"{u}neisen parameter) have also been obtained successfully. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Effect of double AlN buffer layer on the qualities of GaN films grown by radio-frequency molecular beam epitaxy 李新化, 钟飞, 邱凯, 尹志军, 姬长建 2008 (4):  1360-1363.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/034 摘要 ( 1547 )   PDF(1392KB) ( 709 )   This paper reports that the GaN thin films with Ga-polarity and high quality were grown by radio-frequency molecular beam epitaxy on sapphire (0001) substrate with a double AlN buffer layer. The buffer layer consists of a high-temperature (HT) AlN layer and a low-temperature (LT) AlN layer grown at 800\du\ and 600\du, respectively. It is demonstrated that the HT-AlN layer can result in the growth of GaN epilayer in Ga-polarity and the LT-AlN layer is helpful for the improvement of the epilayer quality. It is observed that the carrier mobility of the GaN epilayer increases from 458 to 858\,cm$^{2}$/V$\cdot $s at room temperature when the thickness of LT-AlN layer varies from 0 to 20\,nm. The full width at half maximum of x-ray rocking curves also demonstrates a substantial improvement in the quality of GaN epilayers by the utilization of LT-AlN layer. 相关文章 | 计量指标

First-principles local density approximation (LDA)+U and generalized gradient approximation (GGA)+U studies of plutonium oxides 孙博, 张平 2008 (4):  1364-1370.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/035 摘要 ( 1598 )   PDF(1133KB) ( 1003 )   The electronic structures and properties of PuO2 and Pu2O3 have been studied according to the first principles by using the all-electron projector-augmented-wave (PAW) method. The local density approximation (LDA)+U and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA)+U formalisms have been used to account for the strong on-site Coulomb repulsion among the localized Pu 5f electrons. We discuss how the properties of PuO2 and Pu2O3 are affected by choosing the values of U and exchange-correlation potential. Also, the oxidation reaction of Pu2O3, leading to the formation of PuO2, and its dependence on U and exchange-correlation potential have been studied. Our results show that by choosing an appropriate U it is possible to consistently describe structural, electronic, and thermodynamic properties of PuO2 and Pu2O3, which enable the modelling of the redox process involving Pu-based materials. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Magnetic properties of Mn-doped ZnO diluted magnetic semiconductors 刘学超, 张华伟, 张涛, 陈博源, 陈之战, 宋力昕, 施尔畏 2008 (4):  1371-1376.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/036 摘要 ( 1528 )   PDF(1216KB) ( 969 )   A series of Mn-doped ZnO films have been prepared in different sputtering plasmas by using the inductively coupled plasma enhanced physical vapour deposition. The films show paramagnetic behaviour when they are deposited in an argon plasma. The Hall measurement indicates that ferromagnetism cannot be realized by increasing the electron concentration. However, the room-temperature ferromagnetism is obtained when the films are deposited in a mixed argon-nitrogen plasma. The first-principles calculations reveal that antiferromagnetic ordering is favoured in the case of the substitution of Mn$^{2 + }$ for Zn$^{2 + }$ without additional acceptor doping. The substitution of N for O (N$_{\rm O}^{ - })$ is necessary to induce ferromagnetic couplings in the Zn-Mn-O system. The hybridization between N 2p and Mn 3d provides an empty orbit around the Fermi level. The hopping of Mn 3d electrons through the empty orbit can induce the ferromagnetic coupling. The ferromagnetism in the N-doped Zn-Mn-O system possibly originates from the charge transfer between Mn$^{2 + }$ and Mn$^{3 + }$ via N$_{\rm O}^{ - }$. The key factor is the empty orbit provided by substituting N for O, rather than the conductivity type or the carrier concentration. 相关文章 | 计量指标

First-principles investigations on elastic and thermodynamic properties of zinc-blende structure BeS 常景, 陈向荣, 张伟, 朱俊 2008 (4):  1377-1382.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/037 摘要 ( 1572 )   PDF(197KB) ( 811 )   In this paper the elastic and thermodynamic properties of the cubic zinc-blende structure BeS at different pressures and temperatures are investigated by using \textit{ab initio} plane-wave pseudopotential density functional theory method within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The calculated results are in excellent agreement with the available experimental data and other theoretical results. It is found that the zinc-blende structure BeS should be unstable above 60GPa. The thermodynamic properties of the zinc-blende structure BeS are predicted by using the quasi-harmonic Debye model. The pressure-volume-temperature ($P-V-T$) relationship, the variations of the thermal expansion coefficient $\alpha$ and the heat capacity $C_{V}$ with pressure $P$ and temperature $T$, as well as the Gr\"{u}neisen parameter-pressure-temperature ($\gamma -P-T$) relationship are obtained systematically in the ranges of 0--90GPa and 0--2000K. 相关文章 | 计量指标

There are both Fano effect and Kondo effect in the system, and due to their mutual interaction, the density of states, the current, and the differential conductance of the system depend sensitively on the spin-polarized strength. Thus the obtained results show that this system is provided with excellent spin filtering property, which indicates that this system may be a candidate for spin valve transistors in the spintronics. 相关文章 | 计量指标

The current--voltage ($I-V$) characteristics are nonlinear from 300 down to 60\,K. Some step-like structures in the $I-V$ curves and oscillation peaks in the differential conductance (d$I$/d$V-V$) curves have been observed even at room temperature. It proposes that the observed behaviour can be attributed to Coulomb-blockade transport in the one-dimensional CdS nanowires with diameters of 6--10\,nm. 相关文章 | 计量指标

A study on Al2O3 passivation in GaN MOS-HEMT by pulsed stress 岳远征, 郝跃, 张进城, 冯倩, 倪金玉, 马晓华 2008 (4):  1405-1409.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/042 摘要 ( 1720 )   PDF(291KB) ( 918 )   This paper studies systematically the drain current collapse in AlGaN/GaN metal--oxide--semiconductor high electron mobility transistors (MOS-HEMTs) by applying pulsed stress to the device. Low-temperature layer of A12O3 ultrathin film used as both gate dielectric and surface passivation layer was deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD). For HEMT, gate turn-on pulses induced large current collapse. However, for MOS-HEMT, no significant current collapse was found in the gate turn-on pulsing mode with different pulse widths, indicating the good passivation effect of ALD A12O3. A small increase in Idd in the drain pulsing mode is due to the relieving of self-heating effect. The comparison of synchronously dynamic pulsed Idd-Vds characteristics of HEMT and MOS-HEMT further demonstrated the good passivation effect of ALD A12O3. 相关文章 | 计量指标

The static current characteristics of 4H-SiC MESFET have been obtained with the consideration of the self-heating effect on related parameters including electron mobility, saturation velocity and thermal conductivity. High voltage performances are analysed using equivalent thermal conductivity model. Using the physical-based simulations, we studied the dependence of self-heating temperature on the thickness and doping of substrate. The obtained results can be used for optimization of the thermal design of the SiC-based high-power field effect transistors. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Dynamic Ni gettered by PSG from S-MIC poly-Si and its TFTs 孟志国, 李阳, 吴春亚, 赵淑芸, 李娟, 王文, 郭海诚, 熊绍珍 2008 (4):  1415-1420.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/044 摘要 ( 1770 )   PDF(2804KB) ( 857 )   A dynamic phosphor-silicate glass (PSG) gettering method is proposed in which the processes of the gettering of Ni by PSG and the crystallizing of $\al$-Si into poly-Si by Ni take place simultaneously. The effects of PSG gettering process on the performances of solution-based metal induced crystallized (S-MIC) poly-Si materials and their thin film transistors (TFTs) are discussed. The crystallization rate is much reduced due to the fact that the Ni as a medium source of crystallization is extracted by the PSG during crystallization at the same time. The boundary between two neighbouring grains in S-MIC poly-Si with PSG looks blurrier than without PSG. Compared with the TFTs made from S-MIC poly-Si without PSG gettering, the TFTs made with PSG gettering has a reduced gate induced leakage current. 相关文章 | 计量指标

The MgCNi3 particle sizes range from several hundreds of nanometres to several micrometres. The onset superconducting transition temperature Tc of the MgCNi3 sample is about 7.2\,K.

The response of intrinsic electronic property of the crystals to the change of hole density in La2-xSrxCuO4 in the vicinity of the magic doping of x =1/16\ (=0.0625) is studied in detail by magnetic measurements under various fields up to 1\,T. It is found that when the superconducting critical temperature (T_{\rm C}) increases with the oxygen content, there appears also a new subtle electronic state that can be detected from the differential curves of diamagnetic susceptibility d$\chi$/d$T$ of the crystal sample. In contrast with the intrinsic state, the new subtle electronic state is very fragile under the magnetic fields. Our results indicate that a moderate change in oxygen doping does not significantly modify the intrinsic electronic state originally existing at the magic doping level. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Low field microwave absorption and magnetization process in CoFeNi electroplated wires H. García-Miquel, G. V. Kurlyandskaya 2008 (4):  1430-1435.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/047 摘要 ( 1592 )   PDF(2015KB) ( 688 )   Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR), Ferromagnetic antirresonance (FMAR) and low field magnetoimpedance (MI) are the characteristic features of high frequency losses in applied fields. While some results on FMR and FMAR in CoFeNi electroplated wires were reported earlier, here we present microwave absorption in CuBe wires electroplated by 1\,$\mu$m FeCoNi magnetic layer at very low fields. These data are comparatively analysed together with longitudinal hysteresis loops in order to reveal the correlation between power absorption and magnetization processes. Microwave studies are made by using the cavity perturbation method at 9.65\,GHz for a DC field parallel to the sample axis, and with microwave magnetic field $h_{\rm rf}$ parallel or perpendicular to the wire axis. Two peaks have been observed in all samples, one is due to FMR, and the other is, at very low fields, related to MI. The MI peaks represent minima in power absorption. By comparing with the hysteresis loop we remark the close correspondence between the MI phenomena in the axial mode and the concomitant magnetization process. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Dephasing of quantum tunnelling in molecular nanomagnets 张树群, 陈芝得 2008 (4):  1436-1442.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/048 摘要 ( 1608 )   PDF(207KB) ( 587 )   Dephasing mechanism of quantum tunnelling in molecular magnets has been studied by means of the spin-coherent-state path integral in a mean field approximation. It is found that the fluctuating uncompensated transverse field from the dipolar-dipolar interaction between molecular magnets contributes a random phase to the quantum interference phase. The resulting transition rate is determined by the average tunnel splitting over the random phase. Such a dephasing process leads to the suppression of quenching due to the quantum phase interference, and to the steps due to odd resonances in hysteresis loop survived, which is in good agreement with experimental observations in molecular nanomagnets Fe8 and Mn$_{12}.$ 相关文章 | 计量指标

The structure dependence of exchange bias in ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic bilayers 许小勇, 王茂华, 胡经国 2008 (4):  1443-1447.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/049 摘要 ( 1562 )   PDF(228KB) ( 658 )   The structure dependence of exchange bias in ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic (FM/AF) bilayers has been investigated in detail by extending Slonczewski's `proximity magnetism' idea. Here three important parameters are discussed for FM/AF bilayers, i.e. interfacial bilinear exchange coupling $J_{1}$, interfacial biquadratic (spin-flop) exchange coupling $J_{2}$ and antiferromagnetic layer thickness $t_{\rm AF}$. The results show that both the occurrence and the variety of the exchange bias strongly depend on the above parameters. More importantly, the small spin-flop exchange coupling may result in an exchange bias without the interfacial bilinear exchange coupling. However, in general, the spin-flop exchange coupling cannot result in the exchange bias. The corresponding critical parameters in which the exchange bias will occur or approach saturation are also presented. 相关文章 | 计量指标

UV--Vis absorptions show red-shifted and broadened absorptions of the vacuum-evaporated films as compared with those of the corresponding solutions and spin-coating films, which is beneficial for photovoltaic properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements show that the vacuum-evaporated films are almost amorphous. Two-layer photovoltaic cells have been realized by the thermal evaporation of 7T and 11T as donors and $N$, $N'-$bis(1-ethylpropyl)-3, 4:9,10-perylene bis(tetracarboxyl diimide) (EP-PTC) as an acceptor. An energy conversion efficiency (ECE) of 0.18{\%} of the cell based on 7T with an irradiation of white light at 100\,mw/cm$^{2}$ has been demonstrated by the measurements of current ($I$)- voltage ($V$) curves of the cells to be higher than the ECE of the reference system based on donor dihexylterthienyl (H3T) that is linear and without $\alpha $, $\beta $ linkage. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Both PL and PR spectra appear red shifted, less intense and broadened. The temperature dependence of interband transitions is studied by using the Manoogian--Leclerc equation. The values of the band gap energy at $T$=0\,K and the effective phonon temperature are estimated. The temperature dependences of intensities and broadenings of PL and PR spectral lines are also analysed. Based on the results of the comparison, the features and applications of the PL and PR can be shown in detail. 相关文章 | 计量指标

All-optical switchings of 3-hydroxyflavone in different solvents 吴峰, 林列, 李向平, 于雅鑫, 张桂兰, 陈文驹 2008 (4):  1461-1466.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/052 摘要 ( 1456 )   PDF(461KB) ( 708 )   3-hydroxyflavone (3-HF) is an organic molecule with an excited-stated intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) effect. All-optical switchings and beam deflections of 3-HF in three kinds of solvents (cyclohexane, ethanol and dimethyl sulfoxide) have been investigated by using the third-harmonic generation (355\,nm) of a mode-locked Nd:YAG laser as a pump beam and a continuous-wave (cw) He-Ne laser (632.8\,nm) as a probe beam. The nonlinear refractive indices of 3-HF in the three different solvents are determined by using the Z-scan technique under an ultraviolet (UV) pump beam at a wavelength of 355\,nm. It has been found that the optical switching and beam deflection effects result from the change in refractive index of 3-HF under the irradiation of the pump beam. On the basis of the analyses of absorption spectra and fluorescence spectra, we conclude that the change in refractive index of 3-HF is due to not the thermal effect but the ESIPT effect of 3-HF under the pump beam. As the ESIPT is exceedingly fast, 3-HF might be an excellent candidate for high-speed optical switching. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Field emission characteristics of nano-sheet carbon films deposited by quartz-tube microwave plasma chemical vapour deposition 顾广瑞, 金哲, Ito Toshimichi 2008 (4):  1467-1471.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/053 摘要 ( 1599 )   PDF(3370KB) ( 545 )   Nano-sheet carbon films are prepared on Si wafers by means of quartz-tube microwave plasma chemical vapour deposition (MPCVD) in a gas mixture of hydrogen and methane. The structure of the fabricated films is investigated by using field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and Raman spectroscopy. These nano-carbon films are possessed of good field emission (FE) characteristics with a low threshold field of 2.6\,V/$\mu $m and a high current density of 12.6\,mA/cm$^{2}$ at an electric field of 9\,V/$\mu $m. As the FE currents tend to be saturated in a high $E$ region, no simple Fowler--Nordheim (F--N) model is applicable. A modified F--N model considering statistic effects of FE tip structures and a space-charge-limited-current (SCLC) effect is applied successfully to explaining the FE data observed at low and high electric fields, respectively. 相关文章 | 计量指标

A steered molecular dynamics study on the elastic behaviour of knotted polymer chains 沈瑜, 章林溪 2008 (4):  1480-1489.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/056 摘要 ( 1285 )   PDF(291KB) ( 606 )   In this paper the influence of a knot on the structure of a polymethylene (PM) strand in the tensile process is investigated by using the steered molecular dynamics (SMD) method. The gradual increasing of end-to-end distance, $R$, results in a tighter knot and a more stretched contour. That the break in a knotted rope almost invariably occurs at a point just outside the `entrance' to the knot, which has been shown in a good many experiments, is further theoretically verified in this paper through the calculation of some structural and thermodynamic parameters. Moreover, it is found that the analyses on bond length, torsion angle and strain energy can facilitate to the study of the localization and the size of a knot in the tensile process. The symmetries of torsion angles, bond lengths and bond angles in the knot result in the whole symmetry of the knot in microstructure, thereby adapting itself to the strain applied. Additionally, the statistical property of the force-dependent average knot size illuminates in detail the change in size of a knot with force $f$, and therefore the minimum size of the knot in the restriction of the potentials considered in this work for a PM chain is deduced. At the same time, the difference in response to uniaxial strain, between a knotted PM strand and an unknotted one is also investigated. The force-extension profile is easily obtained from the simulation. As expected, for a given $f$, the knotted chain has an $R$ significantly smaller than that of an unknotted polymer. However, the scaled difference becomes less pronounced for larger values of $N$, and the results for longer chains approach those of the unknotted chains. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Kinetics of aggregation growth with competition between catalyzed birth and catalyzed death 王海锋, 林振权, 高艳 2008 (4):  1490-1500.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/057 摘要 ( 1265 )   PDF(211KB) ( 491 )   An aggregation growth model of three species $A$, $B$ and $C$ with the competition between catalyzed birth and catalyzed death is proposed. Irreversible aggregation occurs between any two aggregates of the like species with the constant rate kernels $I_{n} (n=1,2,3)$. Meanwhile, a monomer birth of an $A$ species aggregate of size $k$ occurs under the catalysis of a $B$ species aggregate of size $j$ with the catalyzed birth rate kernel $K(k,j)=Kkj^{\upsilon}$, and a monomer death of an $A$ species aggregate of size $k$ occurs under the catalysis of a $C$ species aggregate of size $j$ with the catalyzed death rate kernel $L(k,j)=Lkj^{\upsilon}$, where $\upsilon$ is a parameter reflecting the dependence of the catalysis reaction rates of birth and death on the size of catalyst aggregate. The kinetic evolution behaviours of the three species are investigated by the rate equation approach based on the mean-field theory. The form of the aggregate size distribution of $A$ species $a_k(t)$ is found to be dependent crucially on the competition between the catalyzed birth and death of $A$ species, as well as the irreversible aggregation processes of the three species: (1) In the $\upsilon<0$ case, the irreversible aggregation dominates the process, and $a_k(t)$ satisfies the conventional scaling form; (2) In the $\upsilon\geq 0$ case, the competition between the catalyzed birth and death dominates the process. When the catalyzed birth controls the process, $a_k(t)$ takes the conventional or generalized scaling form. While the catalyzed death controls the process, the scaling description of the aggregate size distribution breaks down completely. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Nonlinear H∞ control of structured uncertain stochastic neural networks with discrete and distributed time varying delays 陈狄岚, 张卫东 2008 (4):  1506-1512.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/059 摘要 ( 1468 )   PDF(196KB) ( 548 )   This paper is concerned with the problem of robust Hinfty control for structured uncertain stochastic neural networks with both discrete and distributed time varying delays. A sufficient condition is presented for the existence of Hinfty control based on the Lyapunov stability theory. The stability criterion is described in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be easily checked in practice. An example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed result. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Monte Carlo simulation on backward steps of single kinesin molecule 王宏, 张勇, 窦硕星, 王鹏业 2008 (4):  1513-1517.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/060 摘要 ( 1300 )   PDF(263KB) ( 414 )   Kinesin is a stepping molecular motor travelling along the microtubule. It moves primarily in the plus end direction of the microtubule and occasionally in the minus-end, backward, direction. Recently, the backward steps of kinesin under different loads and temperatures start to attract interests, and the relations among them are revealed. This paper aims to theoretically understand these relations observed in experiments. After introducing a backward pathway into the previous model of the ATPase cycle of kinesin movement, the dependence of the backward movement on the load and the temperature is explored through Monte Carlo simulation. Our results agree well with previous experiments. 相关文章 | 计量指标

The lack of carbon stars in the Galactic bulge 朱春花, 吕国梁, 王兆军, 张军 2008 (4):  1518-1525.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/061 摘要 ( 1451 )   PDF(529KB) ( 514 )   In order to explain the lack of carbon stars in the Galactic bulge, we have made a detailed study of thermal pulse-asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) stars by using a population synthesis code. The effects of the oxygen overabundance and the mass loss rate on the ratio of the number of carbon stars to that of oxygen stars in the Galactic bulge are discussed. We find that the oxygen overabundance which is about twice as large as that in the solar neighbourhood (close to the present observations) is insufficient to explain the rareness of carbon stars in the bulge. We suggest that the large mass loss rate may serve as a controlling factor in the ratio of the number of carbon stars to that of oxygen stars. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Central black hole mass determination for blazars 袁聿海, 樊军辉, 黄勇 2008 (4):  1526-1533.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/17/4/062 摘要 ( 1560 )   PDF(557KB) ( 517 )   In this paper, we use a method to determine some basic parameters for the $\gamma$-ray loud blazars. The parameters include the central black mass ($M$), the boosting factor ($\delta$), the propagation angle (${\it {\it\Phi}}$), the distance along the axis to the site of the $\gamma$-ray production ($d$). A sample including 32 $\gamma$-ray loud blazars with available variability time scales has been used to discuss the above properties. In this method, the $\gamma$-ray energy, the emission size and the property of the accretion disc determine the absorption effect. If we take the intrinsic $\gamma$-ray luminosity to be $\lambda$ times the Eddington luminosity, i.e. $L_{\gamma}^{\rm in}=\lambda{L_{\rm Edd}}$, then we have the following results: the mass of the black hole is in the range of $(0.59-67.99)\times10^{7}M_{\odot} \ (\lambda=1.0)$ or $(0.90-104.13)\times10^{7}M_{\odot} \ (\lambda=0.1)$; the boosting factor ($\delta$) in the range of $0.16-2.09(\lambda=1.0)$ or $0.24-2.86\ (\lambda=0.1)$; the angle (${\it\Phi}$) in the range of $9.53^{\circ}-73.85^{\circ}\ (\lambda=1.0)$ or $7.36^{\circ}-68.89^{\circ}\ (\lambda=0.1)$; and the distance ($d/R_{\rm g}$) in the range of $22.39-609.36\ (\lambda=1.0)$ or $17.54-541.88\ (\lambda=0.1)$. 相关文章 | 计量指标
