Fractional backward Kolmogorov equations 张红, 李国华, 罗懋康 2012 (6):  60201-060201.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/060201 摘要 ( 1653 )   PDF(97KB) ( 1094 )   This paper derives the fractional backward Kolmogorov equations in fractal space-time based on the construction of a model for dynamic trajectories. It shows that for the type of fractional backward Kolmogorov equation in the fractal time whose coefficient functions are independent of time, its solution is equal to the transfer probability density function of the subordinated process X(Sα(t)), the subordinator Sα(t) is termed as the inverse-time α-stable subordinator and the process X(τ) satisfies the corresponding time homogeneous Itô stochastic differential equation. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Estimation of key rate after setting dead time 刘东, 银振强, 王双, 王粉梅, 陈巍, 韩正甫 2012 (6):  60202-060202.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/060202 摘要 ( 1411 )   PDF(119KB) ( 1823 )   The estimation of key rate is an important aspect of the quantum key distribution process, especially in the use of dead time. In this paper, we demonstrate a numerical simulation to estimate the average detection probability and the key rate. Using our method, the estimated average detection probability is better than the previous result. Besides, we can easily find the best dead time, especially when considering the impact of after pulse. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Oscillatory and anti-oscillatory motifs in genetic regulatory networks 叶纬明, 张朝阳, 吕彬彬, 狄增如, 胡岗 2012 (6):  60203-060203.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/060203 摘要 ( 1485 )   PDF(261KB) ( 849 )   Recently, self-sustained oscillatory genetic regulatory networks (GRNs) have attracted significant attention in the biological field. Given a GRN, it is important to anticipate whether the network could generate oscillation with proper parameters, and what the key ingredients for the oscillation are. In this paper the ranges of some function-related parameters which are favorable to sustained oscillations are considered. In particular, some oscillatory motifs appearing with high-frequency in most of the oscillatory GRNs are observed. Moreover, there are some anti-oscillatory motifs which have a strong oscillation repressing effect. Some conclusions analyzing these motif effects and constructing oscillatory GRNs are provided. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

A density functional theory study on parameters fitting of ultra long armchair (n, n) single walled boron nitride nanotubes 王艳丽, 张军平, 苏克和, 王欣, 刘艳, 孙旭 2012 (6):  60301-060301.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/060301 摘要 ( 1521 )   PDF(279KB) ( 949 )   Armchair (n, n) single walled boron nitride nanotubes with n=2-17 are studied by the density functional theory at the B3LYP/3-21G(d) level combined with the periodic boundary conditions for simulating the ultra long model. The results show that the structure parameters and the formation energies bear a strong relationship to n. The fitted analytical equations are developed with correlation coefficients larger than 0.999. The energy gaps of (2, 2) and (3, 3) tubes are indirect gaps, and the larger tubes (n=4-17) have direct energy gaps. Results show that the armchair boron nitride nanotubes (n=2-17) are insulators with wide energy gaps of between 5.93 eV and 6.23 eV. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Quantum dynamic behaviour in a coupled cavities system 彭俊, 邬云文, 李小娟 2012 (6):  60302-060302.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/060302 摘要 ( 1498 )   PDF(435KB) ( 696 )   The dynamic behaviour of the two-site coupled cavities model which is doped with ta wo-level system is investigated. The exact dynamic solutions in the general condition are obtained via Laplace transform. The simple analytical solutions are obtained in several particular cases, which demonstrate the clear and simple physical picture for the quantum state transition of the system. In the large detuning or hoppling case, the quantum states transferring between qubits follow a slow periodic oscillation induced by the very weak excitation of the cavity mode. In the large coupling case, the system can be interpreted as two Jaynes-Cummings model subsystems which interact through photon hop between the two cavities. In the case of λ ≈ Δ >> g, the quantum states transition of qubits is accompanied by the excitation of the cavity, and the cavity modes have the same dynamic behaviours and the amplitude of probability is equal to 0.25 which does not change with the variation of parameter. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Security proof of counterfactual quantum cryptography against general intercept-resend attacks and its vulnerability 张盛, 王剑, 唐朝京 2012 (6):  60303-060303.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/060303 摘要 ( 1449 )   PDF(173KB) ( 685 )   Counterfactual quantum cryptography, recently proposed by Noh, is featured with no transmission of signal particles. This exhibits evident security advantages, such as its immunity to the well-known photon-number-splitting attack. In this paper, the theoretical security of counterfactual quantum cryptography protocol against the general intercept-resend attacks is proved by bounding the information of an eavesdropper Eve more tightly than in Yin's proposal [Phys. Rev. A 82 042335 (2010)]. It is also shown that practical counterfactual quantum cryptography implementations may be vulnerable when equipped with imperfect apparatuses, by proving that a negative key rate can be achieved when Eve launches a time-shift attack based on imperfect detector efficiency. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Interactions between bright solitons in different species of Bose–Einstein condensates 颜家壬, 周杰 2012 (6):  60304-060304.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/060304 摘要 ( 1566 )   PDF(106KB) ( 654 )   The dynamics of a bright-bright vector soliton in a cigar-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate trapping in a harmonic potential is studied. The interaction between bright solitons in different species with small separation is derived. Unlike the interaction between solitons of the same species, it is independent of the phase difference between solitons. It may be of attraction or repulsion. In the former case, each soliton will oscillate about and pass through each other around the mass-center of the system, which will also oscillate harmonically due to the harmonic trapping potential. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Quantum phases of Bose gases on a lattice with pair-tunneling 王月明, 梁九卿 2012 (6):  60305-060305.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/060305 摘要 ( 1374 )   PDF(230KB) ( 655 )   We investigate the strongly interacting lattice Bose gases on a lattice with two-body interaction of nearest neighbors characterized by pair tunneling. The excitation spectrum and the depletion of the condensate of lattice Bose gases are investigated using the Bogoliubov transformation method and the results show that there is a pair condensate as well as a single particle condensate. The various possible quantum phases, such as the Mott-insulator phase (MI), the superfluid phase (SF) of an individual atom, the charge density wave phase (CDW), the supersolid phase (SS), the pair-superfluid (PSF) phase, and the pair-supersolid phase (PSS) are discussed in different parametric regions within our extended Bose-Hubbard model using perturbation theory. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Gravitational collapse with standard and dark energy in the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity Gamal G. L. Nashed 2012 (6):  60401-060401.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/060401 摘要 ( 1220 )   PDF(286KB) ( 492 )   A perfect fluid with self-similarity of the second kind is studied within the framework of the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity (TEGR). A spacetime which is not asymptotically flat is derived. The energy conditions of this spacetime are studied. It is shown that after some time the strong energy condition is not enough to satisfy showing a transition from standard matter to dark energy. The singularities of this solution are discussed. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Gravitational waves from the axial perturbations of hyperon stars 文德华, 燕晶, 刘雪梅 2012 (6):  60402-060402.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/060402 摘要 ( 1272 )   PDF(280KB) ( 691 )   The eigen-frequencies of the axial w-mode oscillations of hyperon stars are examined. It is shown that as the appearance of hyperons softens the equation of state of the super-density matter, the frequency of gravitational waves from the axial w-mode of hyperon star becomes smaller than that of a traditional neutron star at the same stellar mass. Moreover, the eigenfrequencies of hyperon stars also have scaling universality. It is shown that the EURO third-generation gravitational-wave detector has the potential to detect the gravitational-wave signal emitted from the axial w-mode oscillations of a hyperon star. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The stability of a non-extensive relativistic Fermi system 王海堂, 门福殿, 何晓刚, 隗群梅 2012 (6):  60501-060501.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/060501 摘要 ( 1519 )   PDF(142KB) ( 609 )   Based on the statistical theory of non-extensive relativity, and using theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, the non-extensive mechanical stability of ultra-relativistic free Fermi gas is investigated. The expressions of the stability conditions under high and low temperatures are given, and the mechanisms of the influences of temperature, ultra-relativistic effect, and non-extensive parameter q on stability are analysed. Our results show that at high temperature and under the condition of q<1, the stability of a non-extensive system is weaker than that of an extensive system, and the relativistic effect reduces system stability as compared with a non-relativistic system. However, under the condition of q>1, the stability of the non-extensive system is stronger than that of the extensive system, and the relativistic effect strengthens the system stability as compared with the non-relativistic system. In addition, under the condition of low temperature, the variation of the stability of the non-extensive system with temperature has a turning point. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Cryptanalysis on an image block encryption algorithm based on spatiotemporal chaos 王兴元, 何国祥 2012 (6):  60502-060502.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/060502 摘要 ( 1529 )   PDF(244KB) ( 914 )   An image block encryption scheme based on spatiotemporal chaos has been proposed recently. In this paper, we analyse the security weakness of the proposal. The main problem of the original scheme is that the generated keystream remains unchanged for encrypting every image. Based on the flaws, we demonstrate a chosen plaintext attack for revealing the equivalent keys with only 6 pairs of plaintext/ciphertext used. Finally, experimental results show the validity of our attack. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

One-way hash function construction based on the spatiotemporal chaotic system 罗玉玲, 杜明辉 2012 (6):  60503-060503.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/060503 摘要 ( 1545 )   PDF(1441KB) ( 968 )   Based on the spatiotemporal chaotic system, a novel algorithm for constructing a one-way hash function is proposed and analysed. The message is divided into fixed length blocks. Each message block is processed by the hash compression function in parallel. The hash compression is constructed based on the spatiotemporal chaos. In each message block, the ASCII code and its position in the whole message block chain constitute the initial conditions and the key of the hash compression function. The final hash value is generated by further compressing the mixed result of all the hash compression values. Theoretic analyses and numerical simulations show that the proposed algorithm presents high sensitivity to the message and key, good statistical properties, and strong collision resistance. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Arbitrary full-state hybrid projective synchronization for chaotic discrete-time systems via a scalar signal Giuseppe Grassi 2012 (6):  60504-060504.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/060504 摘要 ( 1229 )   PDF(189KB) ( 654 )   In this paper we present a new projective synchronization scheme, where two chaotic (hyperchaotic) discrete-time systems synchronize for any arbitrary scaling matrix. Specifically, each drive system state synchronizes with a linear combination of response system states. The proposed observer-based approach presents some useful features: i) it enables {exact} synchronization to be achieved in finite time (i.e., {dead-beat} synchronization); ii) it exploits a {scalar} synchronizing signal; iii) it can be applied to a {wide} class of discrete-time chaotic (hyperchaotic) systems; iv) it includes, as a particular case, most of the synchronization types defined so far. An example is reported, which shows in detail that exact synchronization is effectively achieved in finite time, using a scalar synchronizing signal only, for any arbitrary scaling matrix. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Bursting oscillation in CO oxidation with small excitation and the enveloping slow-fast analysis method 李向红, 毕勤胜 2012 (6):  60505-060505.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/060505 摘要 ( 1392 )   PDF(983KB) ( 571 )   Based on the traditional scheme for a nonlinear system with multiple time scales, the enveloping slow-fast analysis method is developed in the paper, which can be employed to investigate the dynamics of nonlinear fields with multiple time scales with periodic excitation. Upon using the method, the behaviors of the kinetic model of CO oxidation on the platinum group metals have been explored in detail. Two typical bursting phenomena such as Fold/Fold/Hopf bursting and Fold/Fold bursting, are presented, the bifurcation mechanisms of which have been obtained. Furthermore, the dynamic difference between the two cases corresponding to relatively large and small perturbation frequencies, respectively, has been presented, which can be used to describe the influence of the frequencies involving in the evolution on the bursting behaviors in the system. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Nonsingular terminal sliding mode approach applied to synchronize chaotic systems with unknown parameters and nonlinear inputs Mohammad Pourmahmood Aghababa, Hassan Feizi 2012 (6):  60506-060506.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/060506 摘要 ( 1497 )   PDF(318KB) ( 1145 )   This paper deals with the design of a novel nonsingular terminal sliding mode controller for finite-time synchronization of two different chaotic systems with fully unknown parameters and nonlinear inputs. We propose a novel nonsingular terminal sliding surface and prove its finite-time convergence to zero. We assume that both the master's and the slave's system parameters are unknown in advance. Proper adaptation laws are derived to tackle the unknown parameters. An adaptive sliding mode control law is designed to ensure the existence of the sliding mode in finite time. We prove that both reaching and sliding mode phases are stable in finite time. An estimation of convergence time is given. Two illustrative examples show the effectiveness and usefulness of the proposed technique. It is worthwhile noticing that the introduced nonsingular terminal sliding mode can be applied to a wide variety of nonlinear control problems. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Adaptive H∞ synchronization of chaotic systems via linear and nonlinear feedback control 付士慧, 陆启韶, 杜莹 2012 (6):  60507-060507.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/060507 摘要 ( 1617 )   PDF(1433KB) ( 745 )   Adaptive H∞ synchronization of chaotic systems via linear and nonlinear feedback control is investigated. The chaotic systems are redesigned by using the generalized Hamiltonian systems and observer approach. Based on Lyapunov's stability theory, linear and nonlinear feedback control of adaptive H∞ synchronization is established in order to not only guarantee stable synchronization of both master and slave systems but also reduce the effect of external disturbance on an H∞-norm constraint. Adaptive H∞ synchronization of chaotic systems via three kinds of control is investigated with applications to Lorenz and Chen systems. Numerical simulations are also given to identify the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Predictions of pressure-induced structural transition, mechanical and thermodynamic properties of α-and β-Si3N4 ceramics: ab initio and quasi-harmonic Debye modeling 余本海, 陈东 2012 (6):  60508-060508.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/060508 摘要 ( 1215 )   PDF(282KB) ( 656 )   The plane-wave pseudo-potential method within the framework of ab initio technique is used to investigate the structural and elastic properties of α- and β-Si3N4. The ground-state parameters accord quite well with the experimental data. Our calculation reveals that α-Si3N4 can retain its stability to at least 40 GPa when compressed at 300 K. The α → βphase transformation would not occur in a pressure range of 0–40 GPa and a temperature range of 0–300 K. Actually, the α → βtransition occurs at 1600 K and 7.98 GPa. For α- and β-Si3N4, the c axes are slightly more incompressible than the a axes. We conclude that β-Si3N4 is a hard material and ductile in nature. On the other hand, α-Si3N4 is also found to be an ionic material and can retain its mechanical stability in a pressure range of 0–10 GPa. Besides, the thermodynamic properties such as entropy, heat capacity, and Debye temperature of α- and β-Si3N4 are determined at various temperatures and pressures. Significant features in these properties are observed at high temperature. The calculated results are in good agreement with available experimental data and previous theoretical values. Many fundamental solid-state properties are reported at high pressure and high temperature. Therefore, our results may provide useful information for theoretical and experimental investigations of the Si3N4 polymorphs. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

One-range addition theorems for generalized integer and noninteger μ Coulomb, and exponential type correlated interaction potentials with hyperbolic cosine in position, momentum, and four-dimensional spaces I. I. Guseinov 2012 (6):  63101-063101.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/063101 摘要 ( 1295 )   PDF(86KB) ( 479 )   The formulae are established in position, momentum, and four-dimensional spaces for the one-range addition theorems of generalized integer and noninteger μ Coulomb, and exponential type correlated interaction potentials with hyperbolic cosine (GCTCP and GETCP HC). These formulae are expressed in terms of one-range addition theorems of complete orthonormal sets of Ψα -exponential type orbitals (Ψα -ETO), φα -momentum space orbitals (φα -MSO), and zα -hyperspherical harmonics (zα-HSH) introduced. The one-range addition theorems obtained can be useful in the electronic structure calculations of atoms and molecules when the GCTCP and GETCP HC in position, momentum, and four-dimensional spaces are employed. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Transition probabilities and lifetimes of the low-lying levels of Fe XIV 范建中, 汪青敏, 常志伟, 董晨钟 2012 (6):  63102-063102.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/063102 摘要 ( 1461 )   PDF(118KB) ( 664 )   The multi-configuration Dirac-Fock method is employed to calculate the transition energies, probabilities, and oscillator strengths for electric dipole allowed (E1) and forbidden (M1, E2, M2) lines for the 3s23p, 3s3p2, 3s23d, 3p3, and 3s3p3d configurations of Fe XIV. The lifetimes of all 40 levels of these low-lying configurations are also derived. The valence-valence and core-valence correlation effects are accounted for in a systematic way. Breit interactions and quantum electrodynamics (QED) effects are estimated in subsequent relativistic configuration interaction (CI) calculations. The present results are in good agreement with other available theoretical and experimental values, and therefore can be used for the further astrophysical investigations. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Linear ion trap imperfection and the compensation of excess micromotion 谢艺, 万威, 周飞, 陈亮, 李朝红, 冯芒 2012 (6):  63201-063201.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/063201 摘要 ( 1480 )   PDF(976KB) ( 771 )   Quantum computing requires ultracold ions in a ground vibrational state, which is achieved by sideband cooling. We report our recent efforts towards the Lamb-Dicke regime which is a prerequisite of sideband cooling. We first analyse the possible imperfection in our linear ion trap setup and then demonstrate how to suppress the imperfection by compensating the excess micromotion of the ions. The ions, after the micromotion compensation, are estimated to be very close to the Doppler-cooling limit. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Nonradiative charge transfer in collisions of protons with rubidium atoms 闫玲玲, 屈一至, 刘春华, 张宇, 王建国, Buenker Robert J 2012 (6):  63401-063401.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/063401 摘要 ( 1423 )   PDF(267KB) ( 585 )   The nonradiative charge-transfer cross sections for protons colliding with Rb(5s) atoms are calculated by using the quantum-mechanical molecularorbital close-coupling method in an energy range of 10-3 keV-10 keV. The total and state-selective charge-transfer cross sections are in good agreement with the experimental data in the relatively low energy region. The importance of rotational coupling for chargetransfer process is stressed. Compared with the radiative charge-transfer process, nonradiative charge transfer is a dominant mechanism at energies above 15 eV. The resonance structures of state-selective charge-transfer cross sections arising from the competition among channels are analysed in detail. The radiative and nonradiative charge-transfer rate coefficients from low to high temperature are presented. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Total cross sections for electron scattering from fluoromethanes: A revised additivity rule method 谭晓明, 赵刚 2012 (6):  63402-063402.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/063402 摘要 ( 1337 )   PDF(146KB) ( 741 )   The additivity rule for electron-molecule scattering is revised by considering the difference between the free atom and the bound atom in the molecule. The total cross sections for electron scattering from fluoromethanes (CF4, CF3H, CF2H2, and CFH3) are calculated in an energy range from 100 eV to 1500 eV by the revised additivity rule. The present calculations are compared with the original additivity rule results and the available experimental data. Better agreement with each other is obtained. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

A grooved planar ion trap design for scalable quantum information processing 冀炜邦, 万金银, 成华东, 刘亮 2012 (6):  63701-063701.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/063701 摘要 ( 1375 )   PDF(184KB) ( 628 )   We describe a new electrode design for a grooved surface-electrode ion trap, which is fabricated in printed-circuit-board technology with segmented electrodes. This design allows a laser beam to get through the central groove to avoid optical access blocking and laser scattering from the ion trap surface. The confining potentials are modeled both analytically and numerically. We optimize the radio frequency (rf) electrodes and dc electrodes to achieve the maximum trap depth for a given ion height above the trap electrodes. We also compare our design with the reality ion chip MI I for practical considerations. Comparison results show that our design is superior to MI I. This ion trap design may form the basis for large scale quantum computers or parallel quadrupole mass spectrometers. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Shrinking device realized by using layered structures of homogeneous isotropic materials 郭亚楠, 刘少斌, 赵鑫, 王身云, 陈忱 2012 (6):  64101-064101.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/064101 摘要 ( 1292 )   PDF(221KB) ( 514 )   We propose the practical realization of a shrinking device by using layered structures of homogeneous isotropic materials. By mimicking the shrinking device with concentric alternating thin layers of isotropic dielectrics, the permittivity and the permeability in each isotropic layer can be properly determined from the effective medium theory in order to achieve the shrinking effect. The device realized by multilayer coating with dielectrics is validated by TE wave simulation, and good shrinking performance is demonstrated with only a few layers of homogeneous isotropic materials. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The research of optical windows used in aircraft sensor systems 周峰, 李岩, 汤天瑾 2012 (6):  64201-064201.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/064201 摘要 ( 1325 )   PDF(364KB) ( 1293 )   The optical windows used in aircrafts protect their imaging sensors from environmental effects. Considering the imaging performance, flat surfaces are traditionally used in the design of optical windows. For aircrafts operating at high speeds, the optical windows should be relatively aerodynamic, but a flat optical window may introduce unacceptably high drag to the airframes. The linear scanning infrared sensors used in aircrafts with, respectively, a flat window, a spherical window and a toric window in front of the aircraft sensors are designed and compared. Simulation results show that the optical design using a toric surface has the integrated advantages of field of regard, aerodynamic drag, narcissus effect, and imaging performance, so the optical window with a toric surface is demonstrated to be suited for this application. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Near-field properties of diffraction through a circular subwavelength-size aperture 王正岭, 周明, 高传玉, 张伟 2012 (6):  64202-064202.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/064202 摘要 ( 1420 )   PDF(525KB) ( 996 )   Analytical nonparaxial vectorial electric field expressions for both Gaussian beams and plane waves diffracted through a circular aperture are derived by using the vector plane angular spectrum method for the first time, which is suitable for the subwavelength aperture and the near-field region. The transverse properties of intensity distributions and their evolutions with the propagating distance, and the power transmission functions for diffracted fields containing the whole field, the evanescent field and the propagating field are investigated in detail, which is helpful for understanding the relationship between evanescent and propagating components in the near-field region and can be applied to apertured near-field scanning optical microscopy. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Optical transfer function analysis of circular-pupil wavefront coding systems with separable phase masks 赵廷玉, 刘钦晓, 余飞鸿 2012 (6):  64203-064203.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/064203 摘要 ( 1739 )   PDF(502KB) ( 1309 )   This paper proposes a simple method to achieve the optical transfer function of a circular pupil wavefront coding system with a separable phase mask in Cartesian coordinates. Based on the stationary phase method, the optical transfer function of the circular pupil system can be easily obtained from the optical transfer function of the rectangular pupil system by modifying the cut-off frequency and the on-axial modulation transfer function. Finally, a system with a cubic phase mask is used as an example to illustrate the way to achieve the optical transfer function of the circular pupil system from the rectangular pupil system. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

A generalized Weyl–Wigner quantization scheme unifying P–Q and Q–P ordering and Weyl ordering of operators 王继锁, 范洪义, 孟祥国 2012 (6):  64204-064204.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/064204 摘要 ( 1319 )   PDF(113KB) ( 820 )   By extending the usual Wigner operator to the s-parameterized one as (1/4π2)∫-∞∞ dyduexp≤[iu≤(q-Q) + iy≤(p-P) + i(s/2)yu] with s being a real parameter, we propose a generalized Weyl quantization scheme which accompanies a new generalized s-parameterized ordering rule. This rule recovers P-Q ordering, Q-P ordering, and Weyl ordering of operators in s=1,-1,0 respectively. Hence it differs from the Cahill-Glaubers' ordering rule which unifies normal ordering, anti-normal ordering, and Weyl ordering. We also show that in this scheme the s-parameter plays the role of correlation between two quadratures Q and P. The formula that can rearrange a given operator into its new s-parameterized ordering is presented. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Three-qubit quantum-gate operation with an SQUID in a cavity 石惠敏, 於亚飞, 张智明 2012 (6):  64205-064205.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/064205 摘要 ( 1450 )   PDF(93KB) ( 618 )   We propose a method of realizing a three-qubit quantum gate with a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) in a cavity. In this proposal, the gate operation involves the SQUID ground-states and the Fock states of cavity modes b and ĉ. The two field-modes act as the controlling qubits, and the two SQUID states form the target qubit.

Observation of linewidth narrowing due to a spontaneously generated coherence effect 田思聪, 王春亮, 康智慧, 杨秀彬, 万仁刚, 张晓军, 张航, 姜云, 崔海宁, 高锦岳 2012 (6):  64206-064206.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/064206 摘要 ( 1598 )   PDF(482KB) ( 704 )   We investigate the resonance fluorescence spectrum of an atomic three-level ladder system driven by two laser fields. We show that such a system emulates to a large degree a V-type atom with parallel dipole moments-the latter being a system that exhibits spontaneously generated coherence and can display ultrasharp spectral lines. We find a suitable energy scheme in a 85Rb atom and experimentally observe the narrowing of the central peak in a rubidium atomic beam. The corresponding spectrum can convincingly demonstrate the existence of spontaneously generated coherence. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Photon-number distribution of two-mode squeezed thermal states by entangled state representation 胡利云, 王帅, 张智明 2012 (6):  64207-064207.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/064207 摘要 ( 1626 )   PDF(91KB) ( 1906 )   Using the entangled state representation, we convert a two-mode squeezed number state to a Hermite polynomial excited squeezed vacuum state. We first analytically derive the photon number distribution of the two-mode squeezed thermal states. It is found that it is a Jacobi polynomial; a remarkable result. This result can be directly applied to obtaining the photon number distribution of non-Gaussian states generated by subtracting from (adding to) two-mode squeezed thermal states. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Modulation of atomic exit and injection rates on the phase-dependent gain without inversion in a Doppler broadened open four-level system 刘中波, 贾克宁, 梁颖, 仝殿民, 樊锡君 2012 (6):  64208-064208.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/064208 摘要 ( 1563 )   PDF(468KB) ( 624 )   It is shown that in a Doppler broadened open N-type four-level atomic system with spontaneously generated coherence (SGC), the gain without inversion (GWI) is very sensitive to the variation of the relative phase between the probe field and the driving field; the atomic exit rate (R0 ) and the ratio (S) of the atomic injection rates have a considerable modulation effect on the phase-dependent GWI. GWI first increases and then decreases with R0 increasing; in a certain value range of S, GWI increases monotonically with S increasing; by adjusting the values of R0 and S, in an open system a much larger GWI can be obtained than in the corresponding closed system [2011 Phys. Rev. A 83 043805]. The modulation effects of R0 and S on the phase-dependent GWI in the case with the counter-propagating probe and driving fields are stronger than those in the co-propagating case, GWI in the co-propagating case is much larger than that in the counter-propagating case. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The conduction band opened by the quantum confinement effect gives the pumping levels. Localized states in the gap due to some surface bonds on Si QDs can be formed for the activation of emission. An inversion of population can be generated between the localized states and the valence band in a QD fabricated by using a nanosecond pulse laser. Coupling between the active centres formed by localized states and the defect states of the two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal can be used to select the model in the nanolaser. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

This structure is evolved from the original U-shaped microstrip meander-line slow-wave structure, combining the advantages of a traditional microstrip and a rectangular helix. In this paper, simulations of the electromagnetic characteristics and the beam-wave interaction of this structure are carried out. Our study shows that when the design voltage and the current of a sheet electron beam are set to be 4700 V and 100 mA, respectively, this miniature millimeter-wave power amplifier is capable of delivering 160-W output power with a corresponding gain of 37.3 dB and a maximum interaction efficiency of 34% at 97 GHz. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Study of modulation property to incident laser by surface micro-defects on KH2PO4 crystal 陈明君, 程健, 李明全, 肖勇 2012 (6):  64212-064212.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/064212 摘要 ( 1525 )   PDF(1387KB) ( 700 )   KH2PO4 crystal is a crucial optical component of inertial confinement fusion. Modulation of an incident laser by surface micro-defects will induce the growth of surface damage, which largely restricts the enhancement of the laser induced damage threshold. The modulation of an incident laser by using different kinds of surface defects are simulated by employing the three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method. The results indicate that after the modulation of surface defects, the light intensity distribution inside the crystal is badly distorted, with the light intensity enhanced symmetrically. The relations between modulation properties and defect geometries (e.g., width, morphology, and depth of defects) are quite different for different defects. The modulation action is most obvious when the width of surface defects reaches 1.064 μ. For defects with smooth morphology, such as spherical pits, the degree of modulation is the smallest and the light intensity distribution seems relatively uniform. The degree of modulation increases rapidly with the increase of the depth of surface defects and becomes stable when the depth reaches a critical value. The critical depth is 1.064 μ for cuboid pits and radial cracks, while for ellipsoidal pits the value depends on both the width and the length of the defects. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Application of a characterized difference-frequency laser source to carbon monoxide trace detection Alireza Khorsandi, Zahra Shabani, Monireh Ranjbar, S. Ali Hoseinzadeh Salati 2012 (6):  64213-064213.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/064213 摘要 ( 1443 )   PDF(283KB) ( 865 )   A tunable continuous wave (cw) mid-infrared (MIR) laser based on difference-frequency generation (DFG) in a 1.5-cm long AgGaS2 nonlinear crystal for trace gas detection is reported. Two visible and near-infrared diode lasers were used as pump and signal sources. The MIR-DFG laser was tunable in a wavelength range of 4.75 μm-4.88 μm. The phase-matching (PM) condition was non-critically achieved by adjusting the temperature of the crystal for fixed pairs of input pump and signal wavelengths. The required PM temperatures of the generated MIR-DFG wavelengths have been calculated by using three sets of recent Sellmeier equations and the temperature-dispersion equations of AgGaS2 given by Willer U, et al. (Willer U, Blanke T and Schade W 2001 Appl. Opt. 40 5439). Then the calculated PM temperatures are compared with the experimental values. The performance of the MIR-DFG laser is shown by the trace detection of the P(16) carbon monoxide (12C16O) absorption line in a laboratory-fabricated absorption cell. The enhanced sensitivity of about 0.6 × 10-4 was obtained through the long path absorption provided by consecutive reflections between coated cylindrical mirrors of a constructed cell. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Lotfy 2012 (6):  64214-064214.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/064214 摘要 ( 1343 )   PDF(317KB) ( 818 )   In the present paper, we introduce the coupled theory (CD), Lord-Schulman (LS) theory, and Green-Lindsay (GL) theory to study the influences of a magnetic field and rotation on a two-dimensional problem of fibre-reinforced thermoelasticity. The material is a homogeneous isotropic elastic half-space. The method applied here is to use normal mode analysis to solve a thermal shock problem. Some particular cases are also discussed in the context of the problem. Deformation of a body depends on the nature of the force applied as well as the type of boundary conditions. Numerical results for the temperature, displacement, and thermal stress components are given and illustrated graphically in the absence and the presence of the magnetic field and rotation. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

It is found that the switching term of the laser field may have an obvious influence on the cutoff, intensity or plateau structure of the high-order harmonic spectrum. Generally speaking, the switching term can shorten the cutoff of the high-order harmonic spectrum for a relatively longer pulse and extend the cutoff for a relatively shorter pulse. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Each node of the complex network is a laser spatiotemporal chaos model in which the phase-conjugate wave and the unilateral coupled map lattice are taken as a local function and a spatially extended system, respectively.

Two localized CO2 laser treatment methods for mitigation of UV damage growth in fused silica 蒋勇, 向霞, 刘春明, 罗成思, 王海军, 袁晓东, 贺少勃, 任玮, 吕海兵, 郑万国, 祖小涛 2012 (6):  64219-064219.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/064219 摘要 ( 1378 )   PDF(407KB) ( 733 )   Two methods: high-power, short-time, single-shot irradiation (Method A) and low-power, long-time, multi-shot irradiation (Method B) are investigated to mitigate the UV damage growth in fused silica by using a 10.6-μm CO2 laser. To verify the mitigation effect of the two methods, the laser induced damage thresholds (LIDTs) of the mitigated sites are tested with a 355-nm, 6.4-ns Nd:YAG laser, and the light modulation of the mitigation sites are tested with a 351-nm continuous Nd:YLF laser. The mitigated damaged sites treated with the two methods have almost the same LIDTs, which can recover to the level of pristine material. Compared with Method A, Method B produces mitigated sites with low crater depth and weak light modulation. In addition, there is no raised rim or re-deposited debris formed around the crater edge for Method B. Theoretical calculation is utilized to evaluate the central temperature of the CO2 laser beam irradiated zone and the radius of the crater. It is indicated that the calculated results are consistent with the experimental results. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The band gap of square-lattice PC is so designed that the incident light is divided into several branch beams. Triangular-lattice graded-index PCs are combined for focusing each branch. Computational calculations are carried out on the basis of finite-different time-domain algorithm to prove the feasibility of our design. The waveguide is unnecessary in the design. Thus the device has functions of both splitting and focusing beams. Size of the divided beam at site of full-width at half-maximum is of the order of λ/2. The designed splitter has the advantages that it has a small volume and can be integrated by conventional semiconductor manufacturing process. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

FBGs are fabricated in photosensitive optical fibers and single mode fibers with Ge-concentration in a range from 3 mol% to 23.37 mol% in the core. In experiments, the FBGs are subjected to twice γ-radiation exposures to a Co60 source at a dose-rate of 0.1 Gy/s up to a total dose of 50 kGy. Pre-irradiation treatment can reduce the temperature sensitivity variation of FBGs by 18.12%-35.91%, as well as Bragg wavelength shift (BWS) by 8%-27.08 %. Our research demonstrates that pre-irradiation treatment is a feasible method to improve the radiation tolerance of FBGs. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

High temperature thermal behaviour modeling of large-scale fused silica optics for laser facility 于景侠, 贺少勃, 向霞, 袁晓东, 郑万国, 吕海兵, 祖小涛 2012 (6):  64401-064401.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/064401 摘要 ( 1494 )   PDF(258KB) ( 1080 )   High temperature annealing is often used for the stress control of optical materials. However, weight and viscosity at high temperature may destroy the surface morphology, especially for the large-scale, thin and heavy optics used for large laser facilities. It is necessary to understand the thermal behaviour and design proper support systems for large-scale optics at high temperature. In this work, three support systems for fused silica optics are designed and simulated with the finite element method. After the analysis of the thermal behaviours of different support systems, some advantages and disadvantages can be revealed. The results show that the support with the optical surface vertical is optimal because both pollution and deformation of optics could be well controlled during annealing at high temperature. Annealing process of the optics irradiated by CO2 laser is also simulated. It can be concluded that high temperature annealing can effectively reduce the residual stress. However, the effects of annealing on surface morphology of the optics are complex. Annealing creep is closely related to the residual stress and strain distribution. In the region with large residual stress, the creep is too large and probably increases the deformation gradient which may affect the laser beam propagation. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The nonlinearity and the periodic solution of the equation are discussed by the phase-plane analysis. We find that this kind of oscillation can be equivalent to a standard-beam compound pendulum without suspensions; however, the equivalent mass centre of the standard beam is extended. The derived periodic solution shows that the oscillation period is tightly related to the initial pivot energy and several systemic parameters: beam length, masses of the beam, and suspensions, and the beam mass centre.

Based on the high spatiotemporal resolutions of the NPLS, the structure of the OPL is analysed using wavelet methods. The coherent structures of the OPL are extracted using three methods, including the methods of thresholding the coefficients of the orthogonal wavelet transform and the wavelet packet transform, and preserving a number of wavelet packet coefficients with the largest amplitudes determined by the entropy dimension. Their performances are compared, and the method using the wavelet packet is the best. Based on the viewpoint of multifractals, we study the OPL by the wavelet transform maxima method (WTMM), and the result indicates that its scaling behaviour is evident. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Evolutions of the structure, the reflectivity, and the transmissivity of the film are studied by X-ray diffractometry and sphectrophotometry, respectively. The specular transmissivity and the specular reflectivity of the film decreasing with FR increasing can be attributed to the evolution of the phase structure of the film.

Two single-phase samples with Ba/Y/Mn atomic ratios 5/8/4 (Y8) and 5/7/4 (Y7) are obtained. The crystal structures and the physical properties of the compounds are investigated by X-ray powder diffraction, magnetization, conductivity, and dielectricity measurements. The Ba5Y8-xMn4O21-1.5x compound is demonstrated to be a Y-deficient solid solution. The solid solution compound Ba5Y8-xMn4O21-1.5x crystallizes into tetragonal symmetry with the space group I4/m. Detailed structure analysis by Rietveld refinement of the X-ray powder diffraction data reveals that the Y vacancies occur preferentially at the Y(2) site. Thermal magnetization measurements indicate the presence of antiferromagnetic interaction between Mn ions in the compounds, and temperature-dependent resistivity measurements show that insulator-semiconductor transitions occur around 175 K and 170 K for the Y8 and Y7 samples, respectively. Strong frequency dependences of the dielectric constant are observed above ～ 175 K for the two compounds. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Density functional study of the pressure tensor for inhomogeneous Lennard–Jones fluids 孙宗利, 康艳霜, 康艳梅, 刘志成, 马恒心 2012 (6):  66103-066103.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/066103 摘要 ( 1581 )   PDF(206KB) ( 768 )   Based on classical density functional theory, an expression of the pressure tensor for inhomogeneous fluids is presented. This takes into account greater correlation between particles, especially for systems that are geometrically confined or involve an interface. The density and pressure components of Lennard-Jones fluids confined in hard and softened nano-cavities are calculated. A comparison between the results of this work and IK expression suggests that the agreement depends on temperature. The interfacial tension for hard sphere fluids agrees well with the Monte Carlo result when the bulk density is not too large. The results of the solid-fluid interfacial tension for Lennard-Jones fluids demonstrate that different types of external potentials modulate the interfacial tension in different manners. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The results show that anisotropic polar anchoring strengthens the azimuthal anchoring of grooved surfaces. In the one-elastic-constant approximation (K11 = K22 = K33 = K), the surface-groove-induced azimuthal anchoring energy is entirely consistent with the result of Faetti, and it reduces to the original result of Berreman with an increase in polar anchoring. Moreover, the contribution of the surface-like elastic term to the Rapini-Papoular anchoring energy is zero. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Investigation of the inhibiting outdiffusion of erbium atoms to a silicon-on-insulator surface after annealing at high temperature 秦希峰, 李洪珍, 李双, 冀子武, 王绘凝, 王凤翔, 付刚 2012 (6):  66105-066105.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/066105 摘要 ( 1410 )   PDF(119KB) ( 551 )   The annealing behaviour of 400 keV Er ions at a fluence of 2 × 1015 cm-2 implanted into silicon-on-insulator (SOI) samples is investigated by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry of 2.1 MeV He2+ ions with a multiple scattering model. It is found that the damage close to the SOI surface is almost removed after being annealed in O2 and N2 atmospheres, successively, at 900 ℃, and that only a small number of the Er atoms segregated to the surface of the SOI sample, whereas a large number of Er atoms diffused to a deeper position because of the affinity of Er for oxygen. For the SOI sample co-implanted with Er and O ions, there is no evident outdiffusion of Er atoms to the SOI surface after being annealed in N2 atmosphere at 900 ℃. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Growth characteristics of amorphous-layer-free nanocrystalline silicon films fabricated by very high frequency PECVD at 250 ℃ 郭艳青, 黄锐, 宋捷, 王祥, 宋超, 张奕雄 2012 (6):  66106-066106.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/066106 摘要 ( 1369 )   PDF(245KB) ( 837 )   Amorphous-layer-free nanocrystalline silicon films were prepared by a very high frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technique using hydrogen-diluted SiH4 at 250 ℃. The dependence of the crystallinity of the film on the hydrogen dilution ratio and the film thickness was investigated. Raman spectra show that the thickness of the initial amorphous incubation layer on silicon oxide gradually decreases with increasing hydrogen dilution ratio. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy reveals that the initial amorphous incubation layer can be completely eliminated at a hydrogen dilution ratio of 98%, which is lower than that needed for the growth of amorphous-layer-free nanocrystalline silicon using an excitation frequency of 13.56 MHz. More studies on the microstructure evolution of the initial amorphous incubation layer with hydrogen dilution ratios were performed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. It is suggested that the high hydrogen dilution, as well as the higher plasma excitation frequency, plays an important role in the formation of amorphous-layer-free nanocrystalline silicon films. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The influence of cation additives on the NIR luminescence intensity of Er3+-doped borate glasses 周永亮, 张晓松, 徐建萍, 张忠朋, 张高峰, 魏凤巍, 李岚 2012 (6):  66301-066301.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/066301 摘要 ( 1326 )   PDF(775KB) ( 675 )   Er3+-doped 25BaO-(25-x)SiO2-xAl2O3-25B2O3 transparent glasses are prepared with x=0, 12.5 and 25 by a solid-state reaction. The Er-related NIR luminescence intensity, which corresponds to the transition of 4I15/2-4I13/2, is obviously altered with different silicon/aluminum ratios. The Judd-Ofelt parameters of the Er3+ ions are adopted to explain the intensity change in the NIR fluorescence, and the Raman scattering intensity versus the amount of Al and/or Si components are discussed. The spectra of the three samples are quite similar in the peak positions, but different in intensity. The maximal phonon density of state for the samples is calculated from the Raman spectra and is correlated to the NIR luminescence efficiency. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The effect of intragranular microstress in Al2O3–SiC nanocomposites 王志远, 吴裕功, 佟帅, 吴斯骐 2012 (6):  66501-066501.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/066501 摘要 ( 1292 )   PDF(202KB) ( 606 )   A theoretical model is established to investigate the intragranular particle residual stress in Al2O3-SiC nanocomposites. Using this model, we calculate the average compressive stress on the Al2O3 grain boundary (GB) and the average tensile stress within Al2O3 grains caused by SiC nanoparticles. The normal compressive stress strengthens the GB, and the average tensile stress weakens the grains. The model gives a reasonable interpretation of the strength changes of Al2O3-SiC nanocomposites with the number of SiC particles. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The effect of interfacial energy anisotropy on planar interface instability in a succinonitrile alloy under a small temperature gradient 王理林, 王志军, 林鑫, 王猛, 黄卫东 2012 (6):  66801-066801.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/066801 摘要 ( 1504 )   PDF(172KB) ( 635 )   The morphological stability of a planar interface with different crystallographic orientations is studied under a small positive temperature gradient using a transparent model alloy of succinonitrile. Novel experimental apparatus is constructed to provide a temperature gradient of about 0.37 K/mm. Under this small temperature gradient, the planar interface instability depends largely on the crystallographic orientation. It is shown experimentally that the effect of interfacial energy anisotropy on planar interface stability cannot be neglected even in a small temperature gradient system. Higher interfacial energy anisotropy leads the planar interface to become more unstable, which is different from the stabilizing effect of the interfacial energy on the planar interface. The experimental results are in agreement with previous theoretical calculations and phase field simulations. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Molecular dynamics study of temperature-dependent ripples in monolayer and bilayer graphene on 6H–SiC surfaces 唐超, 魏晓林, 谭歆, 彭向阳, 孙立忠, 钟建新 2012 (6):  66803-066803.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/066803 摘要 ( 1451 )   PDF(627KB) ( 1445 )   Using classical molecular dynamics and a simulated annealing technique, we show that microscopic corrugations occur in monolayer and bilayer graphene on 6H-SiC substrates. From an analysis of the atomic configurations, two types of microscopic corrugations are identified, namely periodic ripples at room temperature and random ripples at high temperature. Two different kinds of ripple morphologies, each with a periodic structure, occur in the monolayer graphene due to the existence of a coincidence lattice between graphene and the SiC terminated surface (Si- or C-terminated surface). The effect of temperature on microscopic ripple morphology is shown through analysing the roughness of the graphene. A temperature-dependent multiple bonding conjugation is also shown by the broad distribution of the carbon-carbon bond length and the bond angle in the rippled graphene on the SiC surface. These results provide atomic-level information about the rippled graphene layers on the two polar faces of the 6H-SiC substrate, which is useful not only for a better understanding of the stability and structural properties of graphene, but also for the study of the electronic properties of graphene-based devices. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Theoretical investigation on the electronic structure, elastic properties, and intrinsic hardness of Si2N2O 丁迎春, 陈敏, 高秀英, 蒋孟衡 2012 (6):  67101-067101.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/067101 摘要 ( 1529 )   PDF(792KB) ( 1626 )   According to the density functional theory we systematically study the electronic structure, the mechanical properties and the intrinsic hardness of Si2N2O polymorphs using the first-principles method. The elastic constants of four Si2N2O structures are obtained using the stress-strain method. The mechanical moduli (bulk modulus, Young's modulus, and shear modulus) are evaluated using the Voigt-Reuss-Hill approach. It is found that the tetragonal Si2N2O exhibits a larger mechanical modulus than the other phases. Some empirical methods are used to calculate the Vickers hardnesses of the Si2N2O structures. We further estimate the Vickers hardnesses of the four Si2N2O crystal structures, suggesting all Si2N2O phases are not the superhard compounds. The results imply that the tetragonal Si2N2O is the hardest phase. The hardness of tetragonal Si2N2O is 31.52 GPa which is close to values of β-Si3N4 and γ-Si3N4. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

We find that the N substituting O(1) atom is the most stable structure for the smallest formation energy. After N-doping, the charge density distribution significantly changes, and the acceptor impurity level is introduced above the valence band and intersects with the Fermi level. The impurity absorption edges appear to shift toward longer wavelengths with an increase in N-doping concentration. The complex refractive index shows metallic characteristics in the N-doped β-Ga2O3. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The results show that the most stable position of the Cs adatom on the GaN (0001) surface is at the N-bridge site for 1/4 monolayer coverage. As the coverage of Cs atoms at the N-bridge site is increased, the adsorption energy reduces. As the Cs atoms achieve saturation, the adsorption is no longer stable when the coverage is 3/4 monolayer. The work function achieves its minimum value when the Cs adatom coverage is 2/4 monolayer, and then rises with Cs atomic coverage. The most stable position of Cs adatoms on the GaN (0001) surface is at H3 site for 1/4 monolayer coverage. As the Cs atomic coverage at H3 site is increased, the adsorption energy reduces, and the adsorption is still stable when the Cs adatom coverage is 1 monolayer. The work function reduces persistently, and does not rise with the increase of Cs coverage. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Using a simple analytical model, the electronic drift velocity in a 2DEG channel is obtained. It is found that the current density through the 2DEG channel is on the order of 1013 A/m2 within a very narrow region (about 5 nm). For a current density of 7 ? 1013 A/m2 passing through the 2DEG channel with a 2DEG density of above 1.2 ? 1017 m-2 under a drain voltage Vds=1.5 V at room temperature, the barrier thickness Lb should be more than 10 nm and the gate bias must be higher than 2 V. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

A comparative investigation of an AB- and AA-stacked bilayer graphene sheet under an applied electric field: A density functional theory study 汪涛, 郭清, 刘艳, 盛况 2012 (6):  67301-067301.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/067301 摘要 ( 1721 )   PDF(121KB) ( 2182 )   An AB- and AA-stacked bilayer graphene sheet (BLG) under an electric field is investigated by ab initio calculation. The interlayer distance between the two layers, band structures, and atomic charges of the system are investigated in the presence of different electric fields normal to the BLG. The AB-stacked BLG is able to tune the bandgap into 0.234 eV with the increase of the external electronic field to 1 V/nm, however, the AA-stacked BLG is not sensitive to the external electric field. In both the cases, the spacing between the BLG slightly change in terms of the electric field. The charges in the AB-stacked BLG are increased with the increase of the electric field, which is considered to be the reason that causes the bandgap opening in the AB-stacked BLG. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

A density functional theory study on the adsorption of CO and O2 on Cu-terminated Cu2O (111) surface 李敏, 张俊英, 张跃, 王天民 2012 (6):  67302-067302.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/067302 摘要 ( 1391 )   PDF(526KB) ( 1058 )   The adsorptions of CO and O2 molecules individually on the stoichiometric Cu-terminated Cu2O (111) surface are investigated by first-principles calculations on the basis of the density functional theory. The calculated results indicate that the CO molecule preferably coordinates to the Cu2 site through its C atom with an adsorption energy of -1.69 eV, whereas the O2 molecule is most stably adsorbed in a tilt type with one O atom coordinating to the Cu2 site and the other O atom coordinating to the Cu1 site, and has an adsorption energy of -1.97 eV. From the analysis of density of states, it is observed that Cu 3d transfers electrons to 2π orbital of the CO molecule and the highest occupied 5σ orbital of the CO molecule transfers electrons to the substrate. The sharp band of Cu 4s is delocalized when compared to that before the CO molecule adsorption, and overlaps substantially with bands of the adsorbed CO molecule. There is a broadening of the 2π orbital of the O2 molecule because of its overlapping with the Cu 3d orbital, indicating that strong 3d-2π interactions are involved in the chemisorption of the O2 molecule on the surface. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The planar Schottky varactor diode (PSVD) is a major limitation to the performance of the LH-NLTL frequency multiplier as a nonlinear component. The design and the fabrication of the diode for such an application are presented. An accurate large-signal model of the diode is proposed. A 16 GHz-39.6 GHz LH-NLTL frequency doubler using our large-signal model is reported for the first time. The measured maximum output powers of the 2nd harmonic are up to 8 dBm at 26.4 GHz, and above 0 dBm from 16 GHz to 39.6 GHz when the input power is 20 dBm. The application of the LH-NLTL frequency doubler furthermore validates the accuracy of the large-signal model of the PSVD. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The results show that the electroluminescence image can be used to detect defects in the photodiode. Additionally, it is found that the electroluminescence intensity has a power law dependence on the dc bias current. The photodiode ideality factor could be obtained by a fitting a relationship between the electroluminescence intensity and the bias current. The device defect levels will be easily determined according to the infrared image and the extracted ideality factor value.

Modulation of electrical and optical properties of gallium-doped ZnO films by radio frequency magnetron sputtering 梁爽, 梅增霞, 杜小龙 2012 (6):  67306-067306.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/067306 摘要 ( 1441 )   PDF(232KB) ( 636 )   Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) films are prepared on amorphous glass substrates at room temperature by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. The results reveal that the gallium doping efficiency, which will have an important influence on the electrical and optical properties of the film, can be governed greatly by the deposition pressure and film thickness. The position shifts of the ZnO (002) peaks in X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements and the varied Hall mobility and carrier concentration confirms this result. The low Hall mobility is attributed to the grain boundary barrier scattering. The estimated height of barrier decreases with the increase of carrier concentration, and the trapping state density is nearly constant. According to defect formation energies and relevant chemical reactions, the photoluminescence (PL) peaks at 2.46 eV and 3.07 eV are attributed to oxygen vacancies and zinc vacancies, respectively. The substitution of more Ga atoms for Zn vacancies with the increase in film thickness is also confirmed by the PL spectrum. The obvious blueshift of the optical bandgap with an increase of carrier concentration is explained well by the Burstein-Moss (BM) effect. The bandgap difference between 3.18 eV and 3.37 eV, about 0.2 eV, is attributed to the metal-semiconductor transition. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The bimodal random crystal field is assumed and the recursion relations are employed for the solution of the model. The system gives only the second-order phase transitions for all values of the crystal fields in the non-random bimodal distribution for given probability. The randomness does not change the order of the phase transitions for higher crystal field values, i.e., it is always second-order, but it may introduce first-order phase transitions at lower negative crystal field values for the probability in the range about 0.20 and 0.45, which is only the second-order for the non-random case in this range. Thus our work claims that randomness may be used to induce first-order phase transitions at lower negative crystal field values at lower probabilities. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Texture and self-biased property of an oriented M-type barium ferrite thick film by tape casting 陈大明, 刘颖力, 李元勋, 杨楷, 张怀武 2012 (6):  67502-067502.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/067502 摘要 ( 1233 )   PDF(911KB) ( 1033 )   In this paper, the oriented M-type barium ferrite (BaM) thick films with different thicknesses are prepared by tape casting. It is found that the crystallographic alignment degree (f), the pore and the squareness ratio (Mr/Ms) are not affected by the thickness of the film. XRD and SEM results show that the thick film has hexagonal morphology with a crystal texture of c-axis grains perpendicular to film plane. The hysteresis curve indicates that the BaM thick film exhibits a self-biased property with a remanent magnetization of 3.30 T, a squareness ratio (Mr/Ms) of 0.81, and a coercivity of 0.40 T. The results show that the BaM thick film has potential for use in self-biasing microwave devices, and also proves that the tape casting technique is capable of fabricating high-quality barium ferrite films, thus providing a unique opportunity to realize the large area production of thick film. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The V concentration is determined to be 3.76 ? 1017 at/cm3 and 6.14 ? 1017 at/cm3 by secondary ion mass spectrometry for low V-doped and high V-doped SiC samples, respectively. The undoped 6H-SiC shows diamagnetism, while the V-doped 6H-SiC exhibits weak ferromagnetism. The lower V-doped sample shows stronger ferromagnetism compared to that of the higher V-doped sample. However, the structural characterization indicates that the lower V-doped SiC has a relative poor crystalline quality. It is found that both V dopants and defects are essential for introducing ferromagnetic exchange in V-doped SiC single crystals. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The growth conditions including ambient and annealing temperatures were carefully optimized based on thermal dynamic analysis to control the oxidation processing and interdiffusion. Crystal structures, surface morphologies, and dielectric performance were examined and compared for BTO thin films annealed under different temperatures. Correlations between the fabrication conditions, microstructures, and dielectric properties were discussed. BTO thin films fabricated under the optimized conditions show good crystalline structure and promising dielectric properties with εr ～ 400 and tanδ <0.025 at 100 kHz. The data demonstrate that BTO films grown on polycrystalline Ni substrates by PAD are promising in device applications. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Fabrication and optical properties of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well light emitting diodes with amorphous BaTiO3 ferroelectric film 彭静, 吴传菊, 孙堂友, 赵文宁, 吴小锋, 刘文, 王双保, 揭泉林, 徐智谋 2012 (6):  67702-067702.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/067702 摘要 ( 1401 )   PDF(425KB) ( 1086 )   BaTiO3 (BTO) ferroelectric thin films are prepared by the sol-gel method. The fabrication and the optical properties of an InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well light emitting diode (LED) with amorphous BTO ferroelectric thin film are studied. The photoluminescence (PL) of the BTO ferroelectric film is attributed to the structure. The ferroelectric film which annealed at 673 K for 8 h has the better PL property. The peak width is about 30 nm from 580 nm to 610 nm, towards the yellow region. The mixed electroluminescence (EL) spectrum of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well LED with 150-nm thick amorphous BTO ferroelectric thin film displays the blue-white light. The Commission Internationale De L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinate of EL is (0.2139, 0.1627). EL wavelength and intensity depends on the composition, microstructure and thickness of the ferroelectric thin film. The transmittance of amorphous BTO thin film is about 93% at a wavelength of 450 nm-470 nm. This means the amorphous ferroelectric thin films can output more blue-ray and emission lights. In addition, the amorphous ferroelectric thin films can be directly fabricated without a binder and used at higher temperatures (200 ℃-400 ℃).

Determination of elastic, piezoelectric, and dielectric constants of an R:BaTiO3 single crystal by Brillouin scattering 何小亢, 曾立波, 吴琼水, 张丽艳, 朱恪, 刘玉龙 2012 (6):  67801-067801.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/067801 摘要 ( 1351 )   PDF(217KB) ( 1751 )   From the sound velocity measured using the Brillouin scattering technique, the elastic, piezoelectric, and dielectric constants of a high-quality monodomain tetragonal Rh:BaTiO3 single crystal are determined at room temperature. The elastic constants are in fairly good agreement with those of the BaTiO3 single crystal, measured previously by Brillouin scattering and the low-frequency equivalent circuit methods. However, their electromechanical properties are significantly different. Based on the sound propagation equations and these results, the directional dependence of the compressional modulus and the shear modulus of Rh:BaTiO3 in the (010) plane is investigated. Some properties of sound propagation and electromechanical coupling in the crystal are discussed. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Numerical simulation of four-wave mixing efficiency and its induced relative intensity noise 陈伟, 孟洲, 周会娟, 罗洪 2012 (6):  67802-067802.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/067802 摘要 ( 1549 )   PDF(401KB) ( 1660 )   Four-wave mixing, as well as its induced intensity noise, is harmful to wavelength division multiplexing systems. The efficiency and the relative intensity noise of four-wave mixing are numerically simulated for the two-wave and the three-wave fiber transmissions. It is found that the efficiency decreases with the increase of both the frequency spacing and the fiber length, which can be explained using the quasi-phase-matching condition. Furthermore, the relative intensity noise decreases with the increase of frequency spacing, while it increases with the increase of fiber length, which is due to the considerable power loss of the pump light. This investigation presents a good reference for the practical application of wavelength division multiplexing systems. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Luminescence of a GaN grain with a nonpolar and semipolar plane in relation to microstructural characterization 周小伟, 许晟瑞, 张进成, 党纪源, 吕玲, 郝跃, 郭立新 2012 (6):  67803-067803.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/067803 摘要 ( 1538 )   PDF(178KB) ( 1182 )   We report on the growth of the high-quality GaN grain on a r-plane sapphire substrate by using a self-organized SiN interlayer as a selective growth mask. Transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy are used to reveal the effect of SiN on the overgrown a-plane GaN growth. The SiN layer effectively terminates the propagation of the threading dislocation and basal plane stacking faults during a-plane GaN regrowth through the interlayer, resulting in the window region shrinking from a rectangle to a “black hole”. Furthermore, strong yellow luminescence (YL) in the nonpolar plane and very weak YL in the semipolar plane on the GaN grain is revealed by cathodoluminescence, suggesting that C-involved defects are responsible for the YL. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

ZnO nanorod arrays with tunable size and field emission properties on an ITO substrate achieved by an electrodeposition method 巩江峰, 窦召明, 王志强, 张博, 朱卫华, 张开骁, 刘明熠, 朱浩, 周剑锋 2012 (6):  68101-068101.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/068101 摘要 ( 1595 )   PDF(262KB) ( 891 )   In the present work, vertically aligned ZnO nanorod arrays with tunable size are successfully synthesized on nonseeded ITO glass substrates by a simple electrodeposition method. The effect of growth conditions on the phase, morphology, and orientation of the products are studied in detail by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It is observed that the as-prepared nanostructures exhibit a preferred orientation along c axis, and the size and density of the ZnO nanorod can be controlled by changing the concentration of ZnCl2. Field emission properties of the as-synthesized samples with different diameters are also studied, and the results show that the nanorod arrays with a smaller diameter and appropriate rod density exhibit better emission properties. The ZnO nanorod arrays show a potential application in field emitters. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Kinetic evolutionary behavior of catalysis-select migration 吴远刚, 林振权, 柯见洪 2012 (6):  68201-068201.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/068201 摘要 ( 1359 )   PDF(108KB) ( 462 )   We propose a catalysis-select migration driven evolution model of two-species (A- and B-species) aggregates, where one unit of species A migrates to species B under the catalysts of species C, while under the catalysts of species D the reaction will become one unit of species B migrating to species A. Meanwhile the catalyst aggregates of species C perform self-coagulation, as do the species D aggregates. We study this catalysis-select migration driven kinetic aggregation phenomena using the generalized Smoluchowski rate equation approach with C species catalysis-select migration rate kernel K(k;i,j)=Kkij and D species catalysis-select migration rate kernel J(k;i,j)=Jkij. The kinetic evolution behaviour is found to be dominated by the competition between the catalysis-select immigration and emigration, in which the competition is between JD0 and KC0 (D0 and C0 are the initial numbers of the monomers of species D and C, respectively). When JD0-KC0>0, the aggregate size distribution of species A satisfies the conventional scaling form and that of species B satisfies a modified scaling form. And in the case of JD0-KC0<0, species A and B exchange their aggregate size distributions as in the above JD0-KC0>0 case. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Photonic generation of arbitrary waveforms based on incoherent wavelength-to-time mapping 董建绩, 罗博文, 于源, 张新亮 2012 (6):  68401-068401.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/068401 摘要 ( 1302 )   PDF(308KB) ( 701 )   We demonstrate experimentally a radio frequency arbitrary waveform generator using the incoherent wavelength-to-time mapping technique. The system is implemented by amplitude modulation of a broadband optical resource whose spectrum is reshaped by a programmable optical pulse shaper and transmitted over a single mode fiber link. The shape of the generated waveform is controlled by the optical pulse shaper, and the fiber link introduces a certain group velocity delay to implement wavelength-to-time mapping. Assisted by the flexible optical pulse shaper, we obtain different shapes of optical waveforms, such as rectangle, triangle, and sawtooth waveforms. Furthermore, we also demonstrate ultra-wideband generation, such as Gaussian monocycle, doublet, and triplet waveforms, using the incoherent technique. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Research of sine waveguide slow-wave structure for a 220-GHz backward wave oscillator 许雄, 魏彦玉, 沈飞, 黄民智, 唐涛, 段兆云, 宫玉彬 2012 (6):  68402-068402.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/068402 摘要 ( 1522 )   PDF(624KB) ( 1095 )   A watt-class backward wave oscillator is proposed, using the concise sine waveguide slow-wave structure combined with a pencil electron beam to operate at 220 GHz. Firstly, the dispersion curve of the sine waveguide is calculated, then, the oscillation frequency and operating voltage of the device are predicted and the circuit transmission loss is calculated. Finally, the particle-in-cell simulation method is used to forecast its radiation performance. The results show that this novel backward wave oscillator can produce over 1-W continuous wave power output in a frequency range from 210 GHz to 230 GHz. Therefore, it will be considered as a very promising high-power millimeter-wave to terahertz-wave radiation source. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

A staggered double vane circuit for a W-band traveling-wave tube amplifier 赖剑强, 魏彦玉, 刘洋, 黄民智, 唐涛, 王文祥, 宫玉彬 2012 (6):  68403-068403.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/068403 摘要 ( 1317 )   PDF(371KB) ( 1025 )   Based on the combination of a staggered double vane slow wave structure (SWS) and round electron beam, a 200-W W-band traveling-wave tube (TWT) amplifier is studied in this paper. The main advantages of round beam operation over the sheet beam is that the round beam can be formed more easily and the focus requirement can be dramatically reduced. It operates in the fundamental mode at the first spatial harmonic. The geometric parameters are optimized and a transition structure for the slow wave circuit is designed which can well match the signal that enters into and goes out from the tube. Then a TWT model is established and the particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation results show that the tube can provide over 200-W output power in a frequency range of 88 GHz-103 GHz with a maximum power of 289 W at 95 GHz, on the assumption that the input power is 0.1 W and the beam power is 5.155 kW. The corresponding conversion efficiency and gain at 95 GHz are expected to be 5.6% and 34.6 dB, respectively. Such amplifiers can potentially be used in high power microwave-power-modules (MPM) and for other portable applications. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Temperature dependence of birefringence in olarization-maintaining photonic crystal fibres 赵红, 陈檬, 李港 2012 (6):  68404-068404.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/068404 摘要 ( 1564 )   PDF(281KB) ( 1051 )   In this paper, the temperature dependence of birefringence in polarization maintaining photonic crystal fibres (PM-PCFs) is investigated theoretically and experimentally. Utilizing the structural parameters of the PM-PCF samples in the experiment, two effects leading to the birefringence variation under different temperatures are analysed, which are the thermal expansion of silica material and the refractive index variation due to the temperature variation. The actual birefringence variation of the PM-PCF is the combination of the two effects, which is in the order of 10-9 K-1 for both fibre samples. Calculation results also show that the influence of refractive index variation is the dominant contribution, which determines the tendency of the fibre birefringence variation with varying temperature. Then, the birefringence beat lengths of the two fibre samples are measured under the temperature, which varies from -40 ℃ to 80 ℃. A traditional PANDA-type polarization maintaining fibre (PMF) is also measured in the same way for comparison. The experimental results indicate that the birefringence variation of the PM-PCF due to temperature variation is far smaller than that of the traditional PMF, which agrees with the theoretical analysis. The ultra-low temperature dependence of the birefringence in the PM-PCF has great potential applications in temperature-insensitive fibre interferometers, fibre sensors, and fibre gyroscopes. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

A low on-resistance triple RESURF SOI LDMOS with planar and trench gate integration 罗小蓉, 姚国亮, 张正元, 蒋永恒, 周坤, 王沛, 王元刚, 雷天飞, 张云轩, 魏杰 2012 (6):  68501-068501.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/068501 摘要 ( 1820 )   PDF(297KB) ( 1771 )   A low on-resistance (Ron,sp) integrable silicon-on-insulator (SOI) n-channel lateral double-diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor (LDMOS) is proposed and its mechanism is investigated by simulation. The LDMOS has two features: the integration of a planar gate and an extended trench gate (double gates (DGs)); and a buried P-layer in the N-drift region, which forms a triple reduced surface field (RESURF) (TR) structure. The triple RESURF not only modulates the electric field distribution, but also increases N-drift doping, resulting in a reduced specific on-resistance (Ron,sp) and an improved breakdown voltage (BV) in the off-state. The DGs form dual conduction channels and, moreover, the extended trench gate widens the vertical conduction area, both of which further reduce the Ron,sp. The BV and Ron,sp are 328 V and 8.8 mΩ·cm2, respectively, for a DG TR metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) by simulation. Compared with a conventional SOI LDMOS, a DG TR MOSFET with the same dimensional device parameters as those of the DG TR MOSFET reduces Ron,sp by 59% and increases BV by 6%. The extended trench gate synchronously acts as an isolation trench between the high-voltage device and low-voltage circuitry in a high-voltage integrated circuit, thereby saving the chip area and simplifying the fabrication processes. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Abnormal oxidation in nickel silicide and nickel germanosilicide in sub-micro CMOS 汪涛, 郭清, 刘艳, Yun Janggn 2012 (6):  68502-068502.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/068502 摘要 ( 1555 )   PDF(279KB) ( 2064 )   After post-silicidation annealing at various temperatures for 30 min, abnormal oxidation and agglomeration in nickel silicide and nickel germanosilicide are investigated under different conditions of NiSi, with As-, In-, and Sb-doped Si substrates of nickel germanosilicide without any dopants. The NiSi thickness, dopant species, doping concentration, and silicide process conditions are dominant factors for abnormal oxidation and NiSi agglomeration. Larger dopants than Si, thinner NiSi thickness and SiGe substrates, and higher dopant concentrations promote abnormal oxidation and agglomeration. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

A novel high-voltage light punch-through carrier stored trench bipolar transistor with buried p-layer 张金平, 李泽宏, 张波, 李肇基 2012 (6):  68504-068504.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/068504 摘要 ( 1467 )   PDF(801KB) ( 1112 )   A novel high-voltage light punch-through (LPT) carrier stored trench bipolar transistor (CSTBT) with buried p-layer (BP) is proposed in this paper. Since the negative charges in the BP layer modulate the bulk electric field distribution, the electric field peaks both at the junction of the p base/n-type carrier stored (N-CS) layer and the corners of the trench gates are reduced, and new electric field peaks appear at the junction of the BP layer/N- drift region. As a result, the overall electric field in the N- drift region is enhanced and the proposed structure improves the breakdown voltage (BV) significantly compared with the LPT CSTBT. Furthermore, the proposed structure breaks the limitation of the doping concentration of the N-CS layer (NN -CS) to the BV, and hence a higher NN-CS can be used for the proposed LPT BP-CSTBT structure and a lower on-state voltage drop (Vce(sat)) can be obtained with almost constant BV. The results show that with a BP layer doping concentration of NBP=7 × 1015 cm-3, a thickness of LBP=2.5 μm, and a width of WBP=5 μm, the BV of the proposed LPT BP-CSTBT increases from 1859 V to 1862 V, with NN-CS increasing from 5 × 1015 cm-3 to 2.5 × 1016 cm-3. However, with the same N--drift region thickness of 150 μm and NN-CS, the BV of the CSTBT decreases from 1598 V to 247 V. Meanwhile, the Vce(sat) of the proposed LPT BP-CSTBT structure decreases from 1.78 V to 1.45 V with NN-CS increasing from 5 × 1015 cm-3 to 2.5 × 1016 cm-3. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The simulation results indicate that light-emitting diodes with p-AlGaN hole injection layers show superior optical and electrical performance, such as an increase in light output power, a reduction in current leakage and alleviation of efficiency droop. These improvements can be attributed to the p-AlGaN serving as hole injection layers, which can alleviate the band bending induced by the polarization field, thereby improving both the hole injection efficiency and the electron blocking efficiency. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Multiple helical scans and the reconstruction of over FOV-sized objects in cone-beam CT 韩玉, 闫镔, 李磊, 宇超群, 李建新, 包尚联 2012 (6):  68701-068701.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/068701 摘要 ( 1331 )   PDF(542KB) ( 694 )   In cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), there are often cases where the size of the specimen is larger than the field of view (FOV) (referred to as over FOV-sized (OFS)). To acquire the complete projection data for OFS objects, some scan modes have been developed for long objects and short but over-wide objects. However, these modes still cannot meet the requirements for both longitudinally long and transversely wide objects. In this paper, we propose a multiple helical scan mode and a corresponding reconstruction algorithm for both longitudinally long and transversely wide objects. The simulation results show that our model can deal with the problem and that the results are acceptable, while the OFS object is twice as long compared with the FOV in the same latitude. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

A genetic resampling particle filter for freeway traffic-state estimation 毕军, 关伟, 齐龙涛 2012 (6):  68901-068901.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/068901 摘要 ( 1613 )   PDF(249KB) ( 805 )   On-line estimation of the state of traffic based on data sampled by electronic detectors is important for intelligent traffic management and control. Because a nonlinear feature exists in the traffic state, and because particle filters have good characteristics when it comes to solving the nonlinear problem, a genetic resampling particle filter is proposed to estimate the state of freeway traffic. In this paper, a freeway section of the northern third ring road in the city of Beijing in China is considered as the experimental object. By analysing the traffic-state characteristics of the freeway, the traffic is modeled based on the second-order validated macroscopic traffic flow model. In order to solve the particle degeneration issue in the performance of the particle filter, a genetic mechanism is introduced into the resampling process. The realization of a genetic particle filter for freeway traffic-state estimation is discussed in detail, and the filter estimation performance is validated and evaluated by the achieved experimental data. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The co-phasing detection method for sparse optical synthetic aperture systems 刘政, 王胜千, 饶长辉 2012 (6):  69501-069501.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/069501 摘要 ( 1669 )   PDF(306KB) ( 711 )   Co-phasing between different sub-apertures is important for sparse optical synthetic aperture telescope systems to achieve high-resolution imaging. For co-phasing detection in such a system, a new aspect of the system's far-field interferometry is analysed and used to construct a novel method to detect piston errors. An optical setup is built to demonstrate the efficacy of this method. Experimental results show that the relative differences between measurements by this method and the criterion are less than 4%, and their residual detecting errors are about 0.01 λ for different piston errors, which makes the use of co-phasing detection within such a system promising. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Jet precession in neutrino-cooled disks for gamma-ray bursts: The effects of the mass and spin of a black hole 刘彤, 薛力 2012 (6):  69801-069801.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/069801 摘要 ( 1439 )   PDF(217KB) ( 548 )   We present a model of jet precession driven by a neutrino-cooled disk around a spinning black hole to explain the quasi-periodic features observed in some gamma-ray burst light curves. The different orientations of the rotational axes between the outer part of a neutrino-cooled disk and a black hole result in precessions of the central black hole and the inner part of the disk. Hence, the jet arising from the neutrino annihilation above the inner disk is driven to precession. We find that the period of precession is positively correlated with the mass as well as the spin of a black hole. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标
