Multi-symplectic scheme for the coupled Schrödinger–Boussinesq equations 黄浪扬, 焦艳东, 梁德民 2013 (7):  70201-070201.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/070201 摘要 ( 817 )   PDF(2032KB) ( 996 )   In this paper, a multi-symplectic Hamiltonian formulation is presented for the coupled Schrödinger–Boussinesq equations (CSBE). Then, a multi-symplectic scheme of the CSBE is derived. The discrete conservation laws of the Langmuir plasmon number and total perturbed number density are also proved. Numerical experiments show that the multi-symplectic scheme simulates the solitary waves for a long time, and preserves the conservation laws well. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Decoherence dynamics of a charge qubit coupled to the noise bath 杨芹英, 梁宝龙, 王继锁 2013 (7):  70301-070301.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/070301 摘要 ( 583 )   PDF(309KB) ( 522 )   By virtue of the canonical quantization method, we present a quantization scheme about a charge qubit based on the superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID), taking the self-inductance of the loop into account. Under the reasonable short-time approximation, we study the effect of decoherence in the Ohmic case by employing the response function and the norm. It is confirmed that the decoherence time which depends on the parameters of circuit components, coupling strength, and temperature, can be as low as several picoseconds, so that there is enough time to record information. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Non-Markovian decoherent quantum walks 薛鹏, 张永生 2013 (7):  70302-070302.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/070302 摘要 ( 517 )   PDF(296KB) ( 645 )   Quantum walk acts obviously different from its classical counterpart, but the decoherence will lessen and close the gap between them. To understand this process, it is necessary to investigate the evolution of the quantum walk under different situations of decoherence. In this article, we study a non-Markovian decoherent quantum walk on a line. In the short time regime, the behavior of the walk deviates from both idea quantum walks and classical random walks. The position variance as a measure of the quantum-walk collapses and revivals for a short time and tends to have a linear relation with time, that is the walker's behavior shows a diffusive spread in the long time limit, which is caused by the non-Markovian dephasing affecting on quantum correlations between the quantum walker and his coin. We also study both quantum discord and measurement-induced disturbance as measures of quantum correlations and observe that both collapse and revival in the short time regime and tend to be zero in the long time limit. Therefore, the quantum walk with a non-Markovian decoherence tends to diffusive spreading behavior in the long time limit, while in the short time regime, it oscillates between a ballistic and diffusive spreading behavior, and the quantum correlation collapses and revivals due to the memory effect. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Relativistic solutions for diatomic molecules subject to pseudoharmonic oscillator in arbitrary dimensions Sami Ortakaya 2013 (7):  70303-070303.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/070303 摘要 ( 615 )   PDF(260KB) ( 645 )   The exact solutions of the N-dimensional Klein-Gordon equation in the presence of an exactly solvable potential of V(r) = De(r/re-re/r)2 type have been obtained. The N dimensional Klein-Gordon equation has been reduced to a first-order differential equation via Laplace transformation. The exact bound state energy eigenvalues and corresponding wave functions for CH, H2, and HCl molecules interacting with pseudoharmonic oscillator potential in the arbitrary N dimensions have been determined. Bound state eigenfunctions used in applications related to molecular spectroscopy are obtained in terms of confluent hypergeometric functions. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Absorption cross section of black holes with a global monopole 黄海, 王永久, 陈菊华 2013 (7):  70401-070401.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/070401 摘要 ( 632 )   PDF(254KB) ( 733 )   We study the absorption problem for a massless scalar field propagating in general static spherically-symmetric black holes with a global monopole. The expression of absorption cross section is provided by using a partial-wave method, which permits us to make an elegant and powerful resummation of the absorption cross section and to extract the physical information encoded in the sum over the partial-wave contributions. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Robust finite-time stabilization of unified chaotic complex systems with certain and uncertain parameters 刘平 2013 (7):  70501-070501.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/070501 摘要 ( 668 )   PDF(312KB) ( 632 )   This paper deals with the finite-time stabilization of the unified chaotic complex systems with known and unknown parameters. Based on the finite-time stability theory, the nonlinear control laws are presented to achieve finite-time chaos control of the determined and uncertain unified chaotic complex systems, respectively. The two controllers are simple and one of the uncertain unified chaotic complex systems is robust. For the design of finite-time controller on uncertain unified chaotic complex systems, only part of all unknown parameters are required to be bounded. Simulation results for the chaotic complex Lorenz, Lü and Chen systems are presented to validate the design and the analysis. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Phase synchronization and synchronization frequency of two-coupled van der Pol oscillators with delayed coupling Hossein Gholizade-Narm, Asad Azemi, Morteza Khademi 2013 (7):  70502-070502.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/070502 摘要 ( 718 )   PDF(276KB) ( 1716 )   In this paper, phase synchronization and the frequency of two synchronized van der Pol oscillators with delay coupling are studied. The dynamics of such a system are obtained using the describing function method, and the necessary conditions for phase synchronization are also achieved. Finding the vicinity of the synchronization frequency is the major advantage of the describing function method over other traditional methods. The equations obtained based on this method justify the phenomenon of the synchronization of coupled oscillators on a frequency either higher, between, or lower than the highest,in between, or lowest natural frequency of the aggregate oscillators. Several numerical examples simulate the different cases versus the various synchronization frequency delays. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Adaptive function projective synchronization of uncertain complex dynamical networks with disturbance 王树国, 郑松 2013 (7):  70503-070503.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/070503 摘要 ( 622 )   PDF(258KB) ( 567 )   We investigate the problem of function projective synchronization (FPS) in drive-response dynamical networks with non-identical nodes, an adaptive controller is proposed for the FPS of complex dynamical networks with uncertain parameters and disturbance. Not only unknown parameters of the networks are estimated by the adaptive laws obtained from the Lyapunov stability theory and Taylor expansions but also unknown bounded disturbances can be simultaneously conquered by the proposed control. Finally, a numerical simulation is provided to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the obtained result. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Generalized projective synchronization of two coupled complex networks with different sizes 李科赞, 何恩, 曾朝蓉, 谢智刚 2013 (7):  70504-070504.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/070504 摘要 ( 564 )   PDF(1520KB) ( 597 )   We investigate a new generalized projective synchronization (GPS) between two complex dynamical networks of different sizes. To the best of our knowledge, most current studies on the projective synchronization have dealt with coupled networks with the same size. By generalized projective synchronization, we mean that the states of nodes in each network can realize complete synchronization, and the states of pair nodes from both networks can achieve projective synchronization. By using the stability theory of dynamical system, several sufficient conditions for guaranteeing the existence of the generalized projective synchronization under feedback control and adaptive control are obtained. As an example, we use Chua's circuits to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Normal thermal conduction in lattice models with asymmetric harmonic interparticle interactions 钟毅, 张勇, 王矫, 赵鸿 2013 (7):  70505-070505.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/070505 摘要 ( 630 )   PDF(419KB) ( 616 )   We study the thermal conduction behaviors of one-dimensional lattice models with asymmetric harmonic interparticle interactions. Normal thermal conductivity independent of the system size is observed when the lattice chains are long enough. Because only the harmonic interactions are involved, the result confirms without ambiguity that asymmetry plays a key role in resulting in normal thermal conduction in one-dimensional momentum conserving lattices. Both equilibrium and nonequilibrium simulations are performed to support the conclusion. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Leader–following consensus control for networked multi-teleoperator systems with interval time-varying communication delays M. J. Park, S. M. Lee, J. W. Son, O. M. Kwon, E. J.

By the construction of a suitable Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and the utilization of the reciprocally convex approach, novel delay-dependent consensus stability and stabilization conditions for the systems are established in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be easily solved by various effective optimization algorithms. One illustrative example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Time-dependent Ginzburg–Landau equation for lattice hydrodynamic model describing pedestrian flow 葛红霞, 程荣军, 卢兆明 2013 (7):  70507-070507.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/070507 摘要 ( 637 )   PDF(216KB) ( 513 )   A thermodynamic theory is formulated to describe the phase transition and critical phenomena in pedestrian flow. Based on the extended lattice hydrodynamic pedestrian model taking the interaction of the next-nearest-neighbor persons into account, the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) equation is derived to describe the pedestrian flow near the critical point through the nonlinear analysis method. And the corresponding two solutions, the uniform and the kink solutions, are given. The coexisting curve, spinodal line, and critical point are obtained by the first and second derivatives of the thermodynamic potential. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Classical trajectory Monte Carlo investigation for Lorentz ionization of H (1s) 何斌, 王建国, 刘春雷 2013 (7):  73101-073101.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/073101 摘要 ( 711 )   PDF(424KB) ( 575 )   Lorentz ionization of H(1s) is investigated by classical trajectory Monte Carlo (CTMC) simulation. The effect of the transverse magnetic field on the considered process is analyzed in terms of the time evolution of interactions in the system, total electron energy, and electron trajectories. A classical mechanism for the ionization is found, where the variation of the kinetic energy of the nuclei is found to be important in the process. Compared with the results of tunneling ionization, the classical mechanism becomes more and more important with the increase of the velocity of the H-atom or the strength of the magnetic field. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Stark spectra of Rydberg states in atomic cesium in the vicinity of n=18 董慧杰, 王婷, 李昌勇, 赵建明, 张临杰 2013 (7):  73201-073201.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/073201 摘要 ( 842 )   PDF(731KB) ( 1223 )   The Stark structures in a cesium atom around n=18 are numerically calculated. The results manifest that the components of 20D states with a small azimuthal quantum number |m| shift upward a lot, and that with a large |m| shift downward a little within 1100 V/cm. All components of P states shift downward. Experimental work has been performed in an ultracold atomic cesium. Atoms initially in 6P3/2 state are excited to high-n Rydberg states by a polarization light perpendicular to field, and Stark spectra with |m|=1/2,3/2,5/2 are simultaneously observed with a large linewidth for the first time. The observed spectra are analyzed in detail. The relative transition probability is calculated. The experimental results are in good agreement with our numerical computation. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The Breit interaction, quantum electrodynamics (QED), and finite nuclear mass effects are taken into account in subsequent relativistic configuration-interaction calculations. The calculated energies and transition rates are compared with the critically evaluated experimental values and other recent calculated results. Our calculated data are in good agreement with these data. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

TDDFT study of excitation of water molecules with short laser pulses 王志萍, 吴亚敏, 张秀梅, 鲁超 2013 (7):  73301-073301.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/073301 摘要 ( 683 )   PDF(446KB) ( 609 )   We explore the excitation of water molecules subject to short and intense laser pulses in the frame of time-dependent density function theory (TDDFT) at the level of the time-dependent local-density approximation (TDLDA), applied to valence electrons, coupled non-adiabatically to molecular dynamics (MD) of ions. We first study the optical absorption spectra of the water molecule as an observable in the “linear” domain and results are in good agreement with experiments. We then explore the influence of the laser frequency on the excitation. It is found that when the laser frequency is off-resonant or highly above the resonant region, the excitations are weak whereas for the resonant frequency case, the ionization is enhanced and and bond lengths are enlarged. Furthermore, a direct coupling of ions with the laser pulse with the off-resonant frequency is found when investigating the OH bond lengths. We finally study the effect of laser intensity on the excitation of H2O and it is found that ionization increases when the laser intensity varies from low to high and we observe stable vibrations to Coulomb fragmentation when the ionization is up to typically two more charge unit. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Furthermore, the resultant precise equilibrium molecular constants enable us to achieve accurate Rydberg-Klein-Rees (RKR) potential curves for both the A and X states, yielding the accurate Franck-Condon factor and band origin of each band in this system. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Manifestation of external field effect in time-resolved photo-dissociation dynamics of LiF 孟庆田, A. J. C. Varandas 2013 (7):  73303-073303.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/073303 摘要 ( 581 )   PDF(701KB) ( 396 )   The photo-dissociation dynamics of LiF is investigated with newly constructed accurate ab initio potential energy curves (PECs) using the time-dependent quantum wave packet method. The oscillations and decay of the wave packet on the adiabats as a function of time are given, which can be compared with the femtosecond transition-state (FTS) spectroscopy. The photo-absorption spectra and the kinetic-energy distribution of the dissociation fragments, which can exhibit the vibration-level structure and the dispersion of the wave packet, respectively, are also obtained. The investigation shows a blue shift of the band center for the photo-absorption spectrum and multiple peaks in the kinetic-energy spectrum with increasing laser intensity, which can be attributed to external field effects. By analyzing the oscillations of the wave packet evolving on the upper adiabat, an approximate inversion scheme is devised to roughly deduce its shape. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Imprints of molecular orbitals using photoelectron angular distribution by strong laser pulses of circular polarization 任向河, 张敬涛, 吴艳, 马慧, 许玉龙 2013 (7):  73304-073304.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/073304 摘要 ( 690 )   PDF(447KB) ( 510 )   We theoretically investigate the strong-field ionization of H2+ molecules in four different electronic states by calculating photoelectron angular distributions in circularly polarized fields. We find that the structure of photoelectron angular distribution depends on the molecular orbital as well as the energy of photoelectron. The location of main lobes changes with the symmetric property of the molecular orbital. Generally, for molecules with bonding electronic states, the photoelectron's angular distribution shows a rotation of π/2 with respect to the molecular axis, while for molecules with antibonding electronic states, no rotation occurs. We use an interference scenario to interpret these phenomena. We also find that, due to the interference effect, a new pair of jets appears in the waist of the main lobes, and the main lobes or jets of photoelectron's angular distribution are split into two parts if the photoelectron energy is sufficiently high. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Photodetachment of hydrogen negative ion inside a circular microcavity 王德华, 刘声, 李绍晟, 王一豪 2013 (7):  73401-073401.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/073401 摘要 ( 739 )   PDF(483KB) ( 555 )   The photodetachment of hydrogen negative ion inside a circular microcavity is studied based on the semiclassical closed orbit theory. The closed orbit of the photo-detached electron in a circular microcavity is investigated and the photodetachment cross section of this system is calculated. The calculation result suggests that oscillating structure appears in the photodetachment cross section, which is caused by the interference effects of the returning electron waves with the outgoing waves traveling along the closed orbits. Besides, our study suggests that the photodetachment cross section of the negative ions depends on the laser polarization sensitively. In order to show the correspondence between the cross section and the closed orbits of detached electron clearly, we calculate the Fourier transformation of the cross section and find that each peak corresponds to the length of one closed orbit. We hope that our results will be useful for understanding the photodetachment process of negative ions or the electron transport in a microcavity. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

A complex equivalent-local polarization potential is obtained to describe the ionization continuum channels. We have calculated the cross sections for collisional ionization of the metastable atoms Ne* and Ar* by electrons in the energy range from threshold to 200 eV.

Triple differential cross section for single ionization of H2 by electron impact 王远成, 刘俊伯, 马佳, 刘德军, 周雅君 2013 (7):  73403-073403.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/073403 摘要 ( 542 )   PDF(332KB) ( 510 )   The triple differential cross section (TDCS) for the (e, 2e) ionization of hydrogen molecule is calculated using the molecule distorted-wave Born approximation (MDWBA). Distorted waves are obtained by solving momentum-space coupled-channel Lippmann-Schwinger equations, including the ground state and the lowest-lying electronic state of b3Σu. TDCS at the incident energy 100 eV in coplanar asymmetric geometry are reported. The present calculations are compared with the available experimental measurements and the theoretical results. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Computer study of the water–ammonia clusters formation and their dielectric properties Alexander Galashev 2013 (7):  73601-073601.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/073601 摘要 ( 572 )   PDF(281KB) ( 552 )   The absorption of one to six ammonia molecules by the (H2O)50 cluster is studied by the method of molecular dynamics under near-atmospheric conditions. The capture of NH3 molecules by a water cluster produces an increase in the integrated intensity of IR absorbance, substantially decreases emission power in the frequency range of 0 ≤ ω ≤ 3500 cm-1, and transforms a continuous reflectance spectrum into a banded one. Adsorption of ammonia molecules by water clusters greatly diminishes the number of electrons that are active with respect to electromagnetic radiation. The present results are also compared with the experimental findings wherever available. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Nanoscale guiding for cold atoms based on surface plasmons alongtips of metallic wedges 王正岭, 唐伟民, 周明, 高传玉 2013 (7):  73701-073701.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/073701 摘要 ( 576 )   PDF(2707KB) ( 41315 )   We propose a novel scheme to guide neutral cold atoms in a nanoscale region based on surface plasmons (SPs) of one pair and two pairs of tips of metallic wedges with locally enhanced light intensity and sub-optical wavelength resolution. We analyze the near-field intensity distribution of the tip of the metallic wedge by the FDTD method, and study the total intensity as well as the total potential of optical potentials and van der Waals potentials for 87Rb atoms in the light field of one pair and two pairs of tips of metallic wedges. It shows that the total potentials of one pair and two pairs of tips of metallic wedges can generate a gravito-optical trap and a dark closed trap for nanoscale guiding of neutral cold atoms. Guided atoms can be cooled with efficient intensity-gradient Sisyphus cooling by blue-detuned light field. This provides an important step towards the generation of hybrid systems consisting of isolated atoms and solid devices. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

For Sm2Co17 magnets, in 50-300 K, with temperature decreasing, residual magnetization Mrc shows a nearly linear increase, while in 10-50 K, Mrc has little change.

Three-dimensional simulation of long-wavelength free-electron lasers with helical wiggler and ion-channel guiding F. Jafari Bahman, B. Maraghechi 2013 (7):  74102-074102.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/074102 摘要 ( 602 )   PDF(1627KB) ( 449 )   A three-dimensional simulation of a steady-state amplifier model of a long-wavelength free-electron laser (FEL) with realizable helical wiggler and ion-channel guiding is presented. The set of coupled nonlinear differential equations for electron orbits and fields of TE11 mode in a cylindrical waveguide are solved numerically by Runge-Kutta algorithm with averages calculated by the Gaussian quadrature technique. Self-fields and space-charge effects are neglected, and the electron beam is assumed to be cold and slippage is ignored. The parameters correspond to the Compton regime. Evolution of the radiation power and growth rate along the wiggler is studied. Ion-channel density is chosen to obtain optimum efficiency. Simulations are preformed for the FEL operating in the neighborhood of 35 GHz and 16.5 GHz for the electron beam energies of 250 keV and 400 keV, respectively. The result of the saturated efficiency was found to be in good agreement with the simple estimation based on the phase-trapping model. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Defect solitons supported by parity-time symmetric defect in superlattices 胡素梅, 胡巍 2013 (7):  74201-074201.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/074201 摘要 ( 628 )   PDF(2175KB) ( 456 )   The existence and stability of defect solitons supported by parity-time (PT) symmetric defects in superlattices are investigated. In the semi-infinite gap, in-phase solitons are found to exist stably for positive defects, zero defects, and negative defects. In the first gap, out-of-phase solitons are stable for positive defects or zero defects, whereas in-phase solitons are stable for negative defects. For both the in-phase and out-of-phase solitons with the positive defect and in-phase solitons with negative defect in the first gap, there exists a cutoff point of the propagation constant below which the defect solitons vanish. The value of the cutoff point depends on the depth of defect and the imaginary parts of the PT symmetric defect potentials. The influence of the imaginary part of the PT symmetric defect potentials on soliton stability is revealed. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Preparing quantum vortex states with odd Schrödinger cat states through a coupled waveguide system 唐慧琴, 李绍新, 朱开成, 唐英, 郑小娟 2013 (7):  74202-074202.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/074202 摘要 ( 713 )   PDF(488KB) ( 759 )   A scheme is proposed for preparing a quantum vortex state with a coupled waveguide, in which a single-mode odd cat state with weak intensity and a single-mode coherent state are inserted in the input ports, respectively. The analytical wavefunction of the resulting state in the quadrature space is derived, and the vortex structure of output state is analyzed. It is found that the obtained states, which may carry a vortex with topological charge index one, are entangled and nonclassical, depending only on the scaled propagation time and the weak intensity of the input odd cat state instead of the displacement parameter of the input coherent state. The phase distribution, however, in the quadrature space, depends on the displacement parameter of the input coherent state. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

It is found that the detecting probability and precision of 2D atom localization can be significantly improved via adjusting the system parameters. As a result, our scheme may be helpful in laser cooling or the atom nano-lithography via atom localization. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Supercontinuum generated in all-normal dispersion photonic crystal fibers with picosecond pump pulses 李磐, 时雷, 毛庆和 2013 (7):  74204-074204.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/074204 摘要 ( 657 )   PDF(522KB) ( 768 )   The supercontinuum (SC) generations in all-normal dispersion (ANDi) photonic-crystal fiber (PCF) pumped by high power picosecond pulses are investigated in this paper. Our results show that an octave SC may be achieved by pumping the ANDi PCF with picosecond pump pulses. However, the PCF length required may have to be lengthened to several tens of centimeters, which is much longer than that with femtosecond pump pulses. The relatively long PCF gives rise to much higher Raman gain and stronger Raman frequency shift compared to those with femtosecond pump pulses, which in turn not only cause a distorted temporal waveform and an un-flatted spectrum, but also severely degrade the coherence of the generated SC. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Picosecond supercontinuum generation seeded by a weak continuous wave 李荧, 侯静, 冷进勇, 王文亮, 姜宗福 2013 (7):  74205-074205.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/074205 摘要 ( 640 )   PDF(1089KB) ( 605 )   We experimentally investigate the spectral details of picosecond supercontinuum pumped at 1064 nm and seeded by a weak continuous wave (～20000 times weaker than the pulse peak power) at several power levels in photonic crystal fibers. Seeding at different wavelengths leads to different spectral details, and the effects to the bandwidth of supercontinuum are also distinct. Spectra can be widened when seeded a continuous wave at 1070 nm, and be narrowed for ～100 nm when seeded at 1080 nm. The influence is enhanced with increasing seeded average power. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Effect of water temperature on pulse duration and energy of stimulated Brillouin scattering 张磊, 张东, 李金增 2013 (7):  74207-074207.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/074207 摘要 ( 683 )   PDF(388KB) ( 576 )   The water temperature has a strong effect on the kinematic viscosity, which is inversely proportional to the phonon lifetime and the gain coefficient. The higher the temperature is, the smaller the kinematic viscosity is, and the larger the phonon lifetime is. At a low pump power and a short focal length, we can derive a single-peak stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) pulse. The duration of this single-peak SBS pulse depends mainly on the phonon lifetime of water. With the raise of the water temperature, the duration of such a single-peak SBS pulse will become longer, and the SBS energy will become higher for the gain coefficient, which is related to the phonon lifetime. Therefore, varying the medium temperature can lead to the changes of SBS pulse duration and SBS energy. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Broadband tunable optical amplification based on modulation instability characteristic of high-birefringence photonic crystal fibers 王河林, 杨爱军, 冷雨欣 2013 (7):  74208-074208.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/074208 摘要 ( 658 )   PDF(858KB) ( 477 )   A novel high-birefringence photonic crystal fiber (HB-PCF) with two zero-dispersion wavelengths (ZDWs) is designed, and an extraordinarily high modal birefringence of 1.56×10-2 is obtained at pump wavelength λp=1850 nm. With the designed HB-PCF, the effect of the pump parameters on the modulation instability (MI) in the anomalous dispersion region close to the second ZDWs of the HB-PCF is comprehensively studied in this work. A broadband and tunable optical amplification is achieved by controlling the pump power and the pump wavelength based on the combined operation of Raman effect and cross phase modulation. By optimizing the pump parameters, the amplification bandwidth along the fiber slow axis reaches 152 nm for the pump power Pp=280 W and the pump wavelength λp=1675 nm, while the gain bandwidth along the fiber fast axis is 165 nm for the pump power Pp=600 W and the pump wavelength λp=1818 nm. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Stabilization of optical solitons in chirped PT-symmetric lattices 李春艳, 黄长明, 董亮伟 2013 (7):  74209-074209.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/074209 摘要 ( 866 )   PDF(334KB) ( 581 )   We investigate the stability properties of optical solitons in a chirped PT-symmetric lattice whose frequency changes in the transverse direction. Linear-stability analysis together with the direct propagation simulations demonstrates that the chirped lattice can improve the stability of optical solitons dramatically. The instability of fundamental solitons can be completely suppressed if the chirp rate exceeds a critical value. A broad stability area of dipole solitons appears if the lattice appropriately chirped. Thus, we propose an effective way to suppress the instability of solitons in PT-symmetric potentials. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Deformed soliton, breather, and rogue wave solutions of an inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation 陶勇胜, 贺劲松, K. Porsezian 2013 (7):  74210-074210.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/074210 摘要 ( 785 )   PDF(707KB) ( 818 )   We use the 1-fold Darboux transformation (DT) of an inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation (INLSE) to construct the deformed-soliton, breather, and rogue wave solutions explicitly. Furthermore, the obtained first-order deformed rogue wave solution, which is derived from the deformed breather solution through the Taylor expansion, is different from the known rogue wave solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). The effect of inhomogeneity is fully reflected in the variable height of the deformed soliton and the curved background of the deformed breather and rogue wave. By suitably adjusting the physical parameter, we show that a desired shape of the rogue wave can be generated. In particular, the newly constructed rogue wave can be reduced to the corresponding rogue wave of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation under a suitable parametric condition. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The proposed structure is constituted of the alternating composite layer (metallic nanoparticles embedded in TiO2 film) and the air layer. Regarding the multilayer as a series of capacitance, effective optical properties are derived. The dispersion relation is obtained with the solution of the transfer matrix equation. With a graded structure in the composite layer, numerical results show that the position and width of the photonic band gap can be effectively modulated by varying the number of the graded composite layers, the volume fraction of nanoparticles and the external stimuli. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Sphere-cone-polynomial special window with good aberration characteristic 王超, 张新, 曲贺盟, 王灵杰, 王钰 2013 (7):  74212-074212.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/074212 摘要 ( 662 )   PDF(299KB) ( 496 )   Optical windows with external surfaces shaped to satisfy operational environment needs are known as special windows. A novel special window, sphere-cone-polynomial (SCP) window, is proposed. The formulas of this window shape are given. An SCP MgF2 window with a fineness ratio of 1.33 is designed as an example. The field-of-regard (FOR) angle is ±75°. From the window system simulation results obtained with the calculated fluid dynamics (CFD) and optical design software, we find that compared to the conventional window forms, the SCP shape can not only introduce relatively less drag in the airflow, but also have the minimal effect on imaging. So the SCP window optical system can achieve a high image quality across a super wide FOR without adding extra aberration correctors. The tolerance analysis results show that the optical performance can be maintained with a reasonable fabricating tolerance to manufacturing errors. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Influence of laser linewidth on performance of Brillouin optical time domain reflectometry 郝蕴琦, 叶青, 潘政清, 蔡海文, 瞿荣辉 2013 (7):  74214-074214.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/074214 摘要 ( 769 )   PDF(341KB) ( 1037 )   The effects of optical sources with different laser linewidths on Brillouin optical time domain reflectometry (BOTDR) are investigated numerically and experimentally. Simulation results show that the spectral linewidth of spontaneous Brillouin scattering remains almost constant when the laser linewidth is less than 1 MHz at the same pulse width; otherwise, it increases sharply. A comparison between a fiber laser (FL) with 4-kHz linewidth at 3 dB and a distributed feedback (DFB) laser with 3-MHz linewidth is made experimentally. When a constant laser power is launched into the sensing fiber, the fitting linewidths of the beat signals (backscattered Brillouin light and local oscillator (LO)) is about 5 MHz wider for the DFB laser than for the FL and the intensity of the beat signal is about a half. Furthermore, the frequency fluctuation in the long sensing fiber is lower for the FL source, yielding about 2 MHz less than that of the DFB laser, indicating higher temperature/strain resolution. The experimental results are in good agreement with the numerical simulations. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Tunable band gaps in acoustic metamaterials with periodic arrays of resonant shunted piezos 陈圣兵, 温激鸿, 王刚, 温熙森 2013 (7):  74301-074301.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/074301 摘要 ( 702 )   PDF(1046KB) ( 1273 )   Periodic arrays of resonant shunted piezoelectric patches are employed to control the wave propagation in a two-dimensional (2D) acoustic metamaterial. The performance is characterized by the finite element method. More importantly, we propose an approach to solving the conventional issue of nonlinear eigenvalue problem, and give a convenient solution to the dispersion properties of 2D metamaterials with periodic arrays of resonant shunts in this article. Based on this modeling method, the dispersion relations of a 2D metamaterial with periodic arrays of resonant shunted piezos are calculated. The results show that the internal resonances of the shunting system split the dispersion curves, thereby forming a locally resonant band gap. However, unlike the conventional locally resonant gap, the vibrations in this locally resonant gap are unable to be completely localized in oscillators consisting of shunting inductors and piezo-patches. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Oblique incidence properties of locally resonant sonic materials with resonance and Bragg scattering effects 袁博, 温激鸿, 温熙森 2013 (7):  74302-074302.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/074302 摘要 ( 684 )   PDF(843KB) ( 515 )   A locally resonant sonic material (LRSM) is an elastic matrix containing a periodic arrangement of identical local resonators (LRs), which can reflect strongly near their natural frequencies, where the wavelength in the matrix is still much larger than the structural periodicity. Due to the periodic arrangement, an LRSM can also display a Bragg scattering effect, which is a characteristic of phononic crystals. A specific LRSM which possesses both local resonance and Bragg scattering effects is presented. Via the layered-multiple-scattering theory, the complex band structure and the transmittance of such LRSM are discussed in detail. Through the analysis of the refraction behavior at the boundary of the composite, we find that the transmittance performance of an LRSM for oblique incidence depends on the refraction of its boundary and the transmission behaviors of different wave modes inside the composite. As a result, it is better to use some low-speed materials (compared with the speed of waves in surrounding medium) as the matrix of LRSM for designing sound blocking materials in underwater applications, since their acoustic properties are more robust to the incident angle. Finally, a gap-coupled LRSM with a broad sub-wavelength transmission gap is studied, whose acoustic performance is insensitive to the angle of incidence. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Effects of size and arrangement of virtual transducer on photoacoustic tomography 王少华, 陶超, 刘晓峻 2013 (7):  74303-074303.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/074303 摘要 ( 710 )   PDF(1245KB) ( 425 )   In this paper, we investigate the effects of the relative size and arrangement of the virtual transducer on the image quality in limited-view photoacoustic tomography. A virtual transducer refers to the acoustic scatterers used to reflect photoacoustic waves and improve the images reconstructed from incomplete PA signal. Size and spatial arrangement determine the performance of the virtual transducer. In this study, the scatterers utilized as virtual transducers are arranged in different manners, such as on a straight line or on an arc line. We find that virtual transducers with a big distributing angle can provide more significant image improvement than with a small distributing angle, which is similar to the true transducers. We also change the size of virtual transducer and study its influence on image quality. It is found that the bigger scatterers provide better images than the smaller ones. Especially, when the size of scatterers is reduced to the wavelength of photoacoustic wave, the image quality observably decreases, owing to the strong diffraction effect. Thus, it is suggested that the size of the acoustical scatterers should be much larger than the photoacoustic wavelength. The simulations are conducted, and the results could be helpful for the application and further study of virtual transducer theory in limited-view photoacoustic tomography. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The impact of Al doping versus microstructure of the samples on such thermal parameters has been investigated. The results reveal an obvious enhancement in the specific heat capacity when decreasing the particle size, while the effect of Al doping on the specific heat capacity is minor. The measured thermal conductivities are about one order of magnitude smaller than that of the bulk ZnO due to several nested reducing heat transfer mechanisms. The results also show that Al doping significantly influences the thermal resistance. Using a simple thermal impedance model, the added thermal resistance due to Al dopant has been estimated. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Casson fluid flow and heat transfer over a nonlinearly stretching surface Swati Mukhopadhyay 2013 (7):  74701-074701.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/074701 摘要 ( 1030 )   PDF(364KB) ( 5874 )   A boundary layer analysis is presented for non-Newtonian fluid flow and heat transfer over a nonlinearly stretching surface. The Casson fluid model is used to characterize the non-Newtonian fluid behavior. By using suitable transformations, the governing partial differential equations corresponding to the momentum and energy equations are converted into non-linear ordinary differential equations. Numerical solutions of these equations are obtained with the shooting method. The effect of increasing the Casson parameter is to suppress the velocity field. However the temperature is enhanced with the increasing Casson parameter. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The material was represented by the constitutive equations for a second-order fluid. Closed-form solutions under the consideration of long wavelength and low Reynolds number is presented. The analytical expressions for the pressure gradient, pressure rise, friction force, stream function, shear stress, and velocity are obtained in the physical domain. The effects of the non-dimensional wave amplitude, porosity, magnetic field, rotation, and the dimensionless time-mean flow in the wave frame are analyzed theoretically and computed numerically. Numerical results are given and illustrated graphically in each case considered. Comparison was made with the results obtained in the presence and absence of rotation, magnetic field, and porosity. The results indicate that the effects of the non-dimensional wave amplitude, porosity, magnetic field, rotation, and the dimensionless time-mean flow are very pronounced in the phenomena. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Extraction and verification of coherent structures in near-wall turbulence 胡海豹, 杜鹏, 黄苏和, 王鹰 2013 (7):  74703-074703.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/074703 摘要 ( 573 )   PDF(690KB) ( 522 )   According to the characteristics of coherent structures in near-wall turbulence, an accurate extraction and verification method is developed based on wavelet transform (WT) and correlation analysis in this paper. At first, the fluid field of a turbulent boundary layer is measured precisely in a gravitational low-speed water tunnel. On the basis of the distribution of the coherent structures, velocity data of three test points are selected and analyzed, whose dimensionless heights are 20.8, 33.5, and 42.6. According to the frequency range of power spectrum density (PSD), coherent and incoherent structures are both extracted from the original signals using continuous and orthogonal wavelet transforms. To confirm the validity of the extracted signals, the probability density function (PDF) of each extracted signal is calculated. The result demonstrates that the incoherent structures obey the Gaussian distribution, while the coherent structures deviate from the Gaussian distribution. The PDFs of the coherent structures and the original signals are similar, which shows that the coherent structures make most contributions to the turbulence. For further verification, a correlation parameter between coherent and incoherent structures is defined, which evidently proves the validity of the extraction method in this paper. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

When the traditional element-free Galerkin (EFG) method is used to solve such an equation, unstable or even wrong numerical solutions may be obtained due to the violation of the consistency conditions of the moving least-squares (MLS) shape functions. To solve this problem, the EFG method is improved by employing the improved moving least-squares (IMLS) approximation based on the shifted polynomial basis functions. The effectiveness of the IEFG method for the gfKdV equation is investigated by using some numerical examples. Meanwhile, the motion of single solitary wave and the interaction of two solitons are simulated using the IEFG method. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Heat transfer in boundary layer stagnation-point flow towards a shrinking sheet with non-uniform heat flux Krishnendu Bhattacharyya 2013 (7):  74705-074705.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/074705 摘要 ( 772 )   PDF(558KB) ( 1432 )   In this paper, the effect of non-uniform heat flux on heat transfer in boundary layer stagnation-point flow over a shrinking sheet is studied. The variable boundary heat fluxes are considered of two types: direct power-law variation with the distance along the sheet and inverse power-law variation with the distance. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) are transformed into non linear self-similar ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by similarity transformations,and then those are solved using very efficient shooting method. The direct variation and inverse variation of heat flux along the sheet have completely different effects on the temperature distribution. Moreover, the heat transfer characteristics in the presence of non-uniform heat flux for several values of physical parameters are also found to be interesting. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Diffusion dynamics in external noise-activated non-equilibrium open system reservoir coupling environment 王春阳 2013 (7):  74706-074706.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/074706 摘要 ( 548 )   PDF(287KB) ( 467 )   The diffusion process in an external noise-activated non-equilibrium open system-reservoir coupling environment is studied by analytically solving the generalized Langevin equation. The dynamical property of the system near the barrier top is investigated in detail by numerically calculating the quantities such as mean diffusion path, invariance, barrier passing probability, and so on. It is found that, comparing with the unfavorable effect of internal fluctuations, the external noise activation is sometimes beneficial to the diffusion process. An optimal strength of external activation or correlation time of the internal fluctuation is expected for the diffusing particle to have a maximal probability to escape from the potential well. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The reductive perturbation method has been used in derivation of the modified Gardner (MG) equation describing the nonlinear propagation of the dust ion-acoustic (DIA) waves. The MG equation admits solitary waves (SWs) and DLs solutions for σ around its critical value σc (where σc is the value of σ corresponding to the vanishing of the nonlinear coefficient of the Korteweg de-Vries (K-dV) equation). The nonplanar SWs and DLs solutions are numerically analyzed and the parametric regimes for the existence of the positive as well as negative SWs and negative DLs are obtained. The basic features of nonplanar DIA SWs and DLs, which are found to be different from planar ones, are also identified. The implications of our results to different space and laboratory dusty plasma situations, are discussed. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The blockage ratio β that represents the ratio between the width of external magnet My and the spanwise width Ly is employed to depict the effect. The finite volume method (FVM) based on the PISO algorithm is applied for the blockage ratios of 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4. The results show that, the value of Strouhal number St increases as the blockage ratio β increases, and for small β, the variation of St is very small when the interaction parameter and Reynolds number are increasing. Moreover, the cross-stream mixing induced by the magnetic obstacle can enhance the wall-heat transfer and the maximum value of the overall heat transfer increment is about 50.5%. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

We mainly take three factors related to the shear equilibrium plasma flow into consideration to study the stabilizing effect of the shear flow on the resistive wall modes (RWMs). The three factors are the velocity amplitude of flow, the shear rate of flow on plasma surface, and the inertial energy of equilibrium plasma flow. In addition, a local shear plasma flow is also calculated by the LARWM code. Consequently, it is found that the inertial energy of the shear equilibrium plasma flow has an important role in the stabilization of the RWMs. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The sixth-order dispersion equation describing the coupling between the electrostatic beam mode and the electromagnetic mode has also been derived. The characteristic of dispersion relation is analyzed in detail by numerical solution.

We studied the preferred orientation of the C60-1 molecule when the neighboring C60-2 molecule was fixed at the pentagon, double-bond, and hexagon orientations respectively. Our results showed that the C60-1 molecule prefers the pentagon (hexagon) orientation when the tube diameter is smaller (larger) than 1.31 nm (1.36 nm). For the tube diameter in between, the preferred molecular orientation of C60-1 changes from pentagon to hexagon with the increasing tube diameter when the neighboring C60-2 molecule is fixed at the pentagon or double-bond orientation. A novel vertex orientation for the C60-1 molecule has been found when the C60-2 molecule is fixed at the hexagon orientation. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Growth and characterization of straight InAs/GaAs nanowireheterostructures on Si substrate 颜鑫, 张霞, 李军帅, 吕晓龙, 任晓敏, 黄永清 2013 (7):  76102-076102.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/076102 摘要 ( 578 )   PDF(1455KB) ( 630 )   Vertical InAs/GaAs nanowire (NW) heterostructures with a straight InAs segment have been successfully fabricated on Si (111) substrate by using AlGaAs/GaAs buffer layers coupled with a composition grading InGaAs segment. Both the GaAs and InAs segments are not limited by the misfit strain induced critical diameter. The low growth rate of InAs NWs is attributed to the AlGaAs/GaAs buffer layers which dramatically decrease the adatom diffusion contribution to the InAs NW growth. The crystal structure of InAs NW can be tuned from zincblende to wurtzite by controlling its diameter as well as the length of GaAs NWs. This work helps to open up a road for the integration of high-quality III-V NW heterostructures with Si. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Effect of Nano-SiO2 films on electron radiation induced conductivity of polyimide 岳龙, 吴宜勇, 孙承月, 石亚平, 肖景东, 何世禹 2013 (7):  76103-076103.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/076103 摘要 ( 699 )   PDF(596KB) ( 770 )   The radiation induced conductivity (RIC) behaviors in nano-SiO2 deposited polyimide (PI) were investigated using in situ measurement technique. The results indicate that, by comparison with the case of virgin polyimide, the RIC in nano-SiO2/polyimide shows low steady state values. Moreover, the steady state RIC is a power function of the dose rate with a power index of 0.659, lower than that of 0.76 in the virgin polyimide. The interfacial barrier and trapping effects are the main reasons for the change. Meanwhile, both of the interfacial effects also result in a unipolar carrier transportation mechanism in nano-SiO2 deposited PI from the dipolar one in the virgin PI. The mechanisms of the RIC behaviors are discussed in the paper. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Towards understanding carbon trapping mechanism in copper by investigating the carbon-vacancy interaction 周洪波, 金硕 2013 (7):  76104-076104.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/076104 摘要 ( 606 )   PDF(445KB) ( 744 )   We propose a vacancy trapping mechanism for carbon-vacancy (C-V) complex formation in copper (Cu) according to the first-principles calculations of the energetics and kinetics of C-V interaction. Vacancy reduces charge density in its vicinity to induce C nucleation. A monovacancy is capable of trapping as many as four C atoms to form CnV (n=1, 2, 3, 4) complexes. Single C atom prefers to interact with neighboring Cu at vacancy with a trapping energy of-0.21 eV. With multiple C atoms added, they are preferred to bind with each other to form covalent-like bonds despite of the metallic Cu environment. For the CnV complexes, C2V is the major one due to its lowest average trapping energy (1.31 eV). Kinetically, the formation of the CnV complexes can be ascribed to the vacancy mechanism due to the lower activation energy barrier and the larger diffusion coefficient of vacancy than those of the interstitial C. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Theoretical demonstration of hybrid focusing points ofsonic crystal flat lenses and possible applications Serkan Alagoz, Baris Baykant Alagoz 2013 (7):  76201-076201.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/076201 摘要 ( 553 )   PDF(595KB) ( 453 )   We demonstrate the hybrid focusing points of sonic crystals for a multi-source array applied to flat sonic crystal lenses. The contributions of different point source couples form hybrid focusing points. Ray-trace analyses are conducted for acoustic flat lenses with multi-source configurations. The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation of flat lenses with multi-source configurations demonstrates the establishment of pure and hybrid focusing points in a pyramidal constellation. The number of focusing points in the pyramidal constellation depends on the number of point sources. We propose an acoustic device for fine-tuning the location of a far-field hybrid focusing point and discuss its benefits for acoustic energy focusing application. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Study of lattice thermal conductivity of alpha-zirconium by molecular dynamics simulation 武天宇, 赖文生, 付宝勤 2013 (7):  76601-076601.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/076601 摘要 ( 629 )   PDF(1253KB) ( 576 )   The non-equilibrium molecular dynamics method is adapted to calculate the phonon thermal conductivity of alphazirconium.By exchanging velocities of atoms in different regions, the stable heat flux and the temperature gradient are established to calculate the thermal conductivity. The phonon thermal conductivities under different conditions, such as different heat exchange frequencies, different temperatures, different crystallographic orientations, and crossing grain boundary (GB), are studied in detail with considering the finite size effect. It turns out that the phonon thermal conductivity decreases with the increase of temperature, and displays anisotropies along different crystallographic orientations. The phonon thermal conductivity in [0001] direction (close-packed plane) is largest, while the values in other two directions of [2110] and [0110] are relatively close. In the region near GB, there is a sharp temperature drop, and the phonon thermal conductivity is about one-tenth of that of the single crystal at 550 K, suggesting that the GB may act as a thermal barrier in the crystal. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Interfacial characteristics of Al/Al2O3/ZnO/n-GaAs MOS capacitor 刘琛, 张玉明, 张义门, 吕红亮 2013 (7):  76701-076701.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/076701 摘要 ( 540 )   PDF(287KB) ( 1361 )   The interfacial characteristics of Al/Al2O3/ZnO/n-GaAs metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitor are investigated. The results measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) show that the presence of ZnO can effectively suppress the formations of oxides at the interface between the GaAs and gate dielectric and gain smooth interface. The ZnO-passivated GaAs MOS capacitor exhibits a very small hysteresis and frequency dispersion. Using the Terman method, the interface trap density is extracted from C-V curves. It is found that the ZnO layer can effectively improve the interface quality. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Through introducing Zernike phase contrast and heavy metal staining, images taken at 8 keV displayed sufficient contrast for observing nanoscale fine structures, such as the spermatheca cochleate duct and the subapex of the flagellum, which have some implications for the study of the sperm transfer process and genital evolution in insects. This work shows that both the spatial resolution and the contrast characteristic of hard X-ray microscope are quite promising for insect morphology studies, in particularly, provide an attractive alternative to destructive techniques for internal soft tissues. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Scanning tunneling microscopy study of molecular growth structures of Gd@C82 on Cu(111) 陈建, 秦志辉, 潘金波, 卢双赞, 杜世萱, 高鸿钧, 曹更玉 2013 (7):  76802-076802.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/076802 摘要 ( 706 )   PDF(914KB) ( 612 )   The coverage and temperature-dependent nucleation behaviors of the Gd@C82 metallofullerenes on Cu(111) have been studied by low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (LT-STM) in detail. Upon molecular deposition at low temperature, Gd@C82 molecules preferentially decorate the steps and nucleate into single layer islands with increasing coverage. Further annealing treatment leads some of the Gd@C82 molecules to assemble into bright and dim patches, which are correlated to the adsorption induced substrate reconstruction. Upon sufficient thermal activation, Gd@C82 molecules sink into the Cu(111) surface one-copper-layer-deep, forming hexagonal close-packed molecular islands with intra-molecular details observed as striped patterns. By considering the commensurability between the Gd@C82 nearest-neighbor distance and the lattice of the underlying Cu(111), we clearly identified two kinds of in-plane molecular arrangements as (√19×19)R23.4° and (19×19)R36.6° with respect to Cu(111). Within the assembled Gd@C82 molecular, island molecules with dim-bright contrast are spatially distributed, which may be modulated by the preexisted species on Cu(111). 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Effects of prestrained InGaN interlayer on the emission properties of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells in a laser diode structure 曹文彧, 贺永发, 陈钊, 杨薇, 杜为民, 胡晓东 2013 (7):  76803-076803.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/076803 摘要 ( 795 )   PDF(286KB) ( 909 )   The electroluminescence (EL) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) with a prestrained InGaN interlayer in a laser diode structure are investigated. When the injection current increases from 5 mA to 50 mA, the blueshift of the EL emission peak is 1 meV for the prestrained sample and 23 meV for a control sample with the conventional structure. Also, the internal quantum efficiency and the EL intensity at the injection current of 20 mA are increased by 71% and 65% respectively by inserting the prestrained InGaN interlayer. The reduced blueshift and the enhanced emission are attributed mainly to the reduced quantum-confined Stark effect (QCSE) in the prestrained sample. Such attributions are supported by the theoretical simulation results, which reveal the smaller piezoelectric field and the enhanced overlap of electron and hole wave functions in the prestrained sample. Therefore, the prestrained InGaN interlayer contributes to strain relaxation in the MQW layer and enhancement of light emission due to the reduction of QCSE. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The results show that upon illumination of xenon lamp, the photocurrent of EG grown on Si-terminated SiC significantly increases by 147.6%, while the photocurrents of EG grown on C-terminated SiC, and transferred CVD graphene on Si-terminated SiC slightly decrease by 0.5% and 2.7%, respectively. The interfacial buffer layer between EG and Si-terminated 6H-SiC is responsible for the significant photoelectrical response of EG. Strong photoelectrical response makes it promising for optoelectronic applications. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Density-functional theory study of the effect of pressure on the elastic properties of CaB6 韩晗 2013 (7):  77101-077101.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/077101 摘要 ( 742 )   PDF(714KB) ( 642 )   Under a high pressure, long believed single-phase material CaB6 is latterly discovered to have a new phase tI56. Based on the density-functional theory, the pressure effects on the structural and elastic properties of CaB6 are obtained. The calculated bulk, shear, and Young's moduli of the recently synthesized high pressure phase tI56-CaB6 are larger than those of the low pressure phase. Moreover, the high pressure phase of CaB6 has ductile behaviors, and its ductility increases with the increase of pressure. On the contrary, the calculated results indicate that the low pressure phase of CaB6 is brittle. The calculated Debye temperature indicates that the thermal conductivity of CaB6 is not very good. Furthermore, based on the Christoffel equation, the slowness surface of the acoustic waves is obtained. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

A comparison of the transport properties of bilayer graphene, monolayer graphene, and two-dimensional electron gas 孙立风, 董利民, 吴志芳, 房超 2013 (7):  77201-077201.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/077201 摘要 ( 747 )   PDF(376KB) ( 718 )   We studied and compared the transport properties of charge carriers in the bilayer graphene, the monolayer graphene, and the conventional semiconductors (the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG)). It is elucidated that the normal incidence transmission in the bilayer graphene is identical to that in the 2DEG but totally different from that in the monolayer graphene. However, the resonant peaks appear in the non-normal incidence transmission profile for a high barrier in the bilayer graphene, which do not occur in the 2DEG. Furthermore, there are tunneling and forbidden regions in the transmission spectrum for each material, and the division of the two regions has been given in the work. The tunneling region covers a wide range of the incident energy for the two graphene systems, but only exists under specific conditions for the 2DEG. The counterparts of the transmission in the conductance profile are also given for the three materials, which may be used as high-performance devices based on the bilayer graphene. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Rainbow trapping based on long-range plasmonic Bragg gratings at telecom frequencies 陈林, 张天, Li Xun 2013 (7):  77301-077301.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/077301 摘要 ( 677 )   PDF(339KB) ( 557 )   The group velocity of long-range surface plasmon polaritons (LRSPPs) in a wide frequency bandwidth at infrared frequencies is significantly reduced by dielectric gratings of graded thickness on both sides of a thin metal film. This structure can reduce the propagation loss of slow surface plasmons in “rainbow trapping” systems based on plasmonic Bragg gratings. Compared with dielectric gratings of graded thickness on a single side of a metal film, the proposed structure is able to guide slow light with a much longer propagation distance for the same group index factor. Finite-difference time-domain simulation results show that slow LRSPPs with the group velocity of c/14.5 and the propagation distance of 10.4 μm are achieved in dielectric gratings of uniform thickness on both sides of a thin metal film at 1.62 μm. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Using this method, the SPR responses of TiO2-coated Cu films are characterized in the wavelength range from 600 nm to 900 nm. For the first time, we determine the effective optical constants and the thicknesses of TiO2-coated Cu films using the SPR curves of wavelength modulation. The sensitivities of prism-based SPR refractive index sensors using TiO2-coated Cu films are investigated theoretically for both wavelength and angular modulations, the results show that in the case of sensitivity with wavelength modulation, TiO2-coated Cu films are not as good as the Au film, however, they are more suitable than the Au film for SPR refractive index sensors with angular modulation because a higher sensitivity can be achieved. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The optimal brightness of the device is 69932 cd/m2 at a voltage of 13 V, and the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity coordinates are almost constant during a large voltage change of 6-12 V. Furthermore, a current efficiency of 15.3 cd/A at an illumination-relevant brightness of 1000 cd/m2 is obtained, which rolls off slightly to 13.0 cd/A at an ultra high brightness of 50000 cd/m2. We attribute this great performance to wisely selecting an appropriate spacer together with effectively utilizing the combinations of exciton-harvested orange-phosphorescence/blue-fluorescence in the device. Undoubtedly, this is one of the most exciting results in two-wavelength HWOLEDs up to now. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Contact effect in the dynamic electron transport of two-probe mesoscopic conductor 全军, 肖世发, 田英 2013 (7):  77304-077304.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/077304 摘要 ( 717 )   PDF(304KB) ( 375 )   Based on the self-consistent electron dynamic transport theory for multi-probe mesoscopic systems, we calculate the distribution of internal potential, charge density, and ac conductance of a two-probe mesoscopic conductor with wide trapezoid reservoirs, and study the contact effect. The results show that including the contact effect can make a significant difference to the frequency-dependent electron transport properties. In the nonzero frequency case, the internal potential and the charge density are complex with extremely small imaginary parts. Importantly, the imaginary part of the charge density gives rise to a real ac conductance (admittance), which corresponds to the charge-relaxation resistance. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The newly proposed surface roughness scattering in the AlGaN/GaN quantum wells becomes effective when an electric field exists in the AlxGa1-xN barrier. For the AlGaN/GaN potential well, the ground subband energy is governed by the spontaneous and the piezoelectric polarization fields which are determined by the barrier and the well thicknesses. The thickness fluctuation of the AlGaN barrier and the GaN well due to the roughnesses cause the local fluctuation of the ground subband energy, which will reduce the 2DEG mobility. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Ultraviolet emissions realized in ZnO via avalanche multiplication process 于吉, 单崇新, 申赫, 张祥伟, 王双鹏, 申德振 2013 (7):  77307-077307.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/077307 摘要 ( 765 )   PDF(500KB) ( 449 )   Au/MgO/ZnO/MgO/Au structures have been designed and constructed in this study. Under a bias voltage, a carrier avalanche multiplication will occur via an impact ionization process in the MgO layer. The generated holes will be drifted into the ZnO layer, and recombine radiatively with the electrons in the ZnO layer, thus obvious emissions at around 387 nm coming from the near-band-edge emission of ZnO will be observed. The results reported in this paper demonstrate the ultraviolet (UV) emission realized via a carrier multiplication process, thus may provide an alternative route to efficient UV emissions by bypassing the challenging p-type doping issues of ZnO. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Aggregate formation and electric field driven trapping and detrapping of charge carriers in the aggregate states that lie in the energy gap of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the organic molecule were proposed as the mechanism of the observed bipolar resistive switching, which was solidly supported by the results of AFM investigations. Repeatedly set, read, and reset measurements demonstrated that the device is potentially applicable in non-volatile memories. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The device can not only decrease the specific on-resistance Ron,sp but also simultaneously improve the temperature performance. Simulation results show that the proposed LTIGBT achieves an ultra-low on-state voltage drop of 1.31 V at 700 A·cm-2 with a small half-cell pitch of 10.5 μm, a specific on-resistance Ron,sp of 187 mΩ·mm2, and a high breakdown voltage of 250 V. The on-state voltage drop of the DGDI LTIGBT is 18% less than that of the DI LTIGBT and 30.3% less than that of the conventional LTIGBT. The proposed LTIGBT exhibits a good positive temperature coefficient for safety paralleling to handling larger currents and enhances the short-circuit capability while maintaining a low self-heating effect. Furthermore, it also shows a better tradeoff between the specific on-resistance and the turnoff loss, although it has a longer turnoff delay time. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Confined states and spin polarization on a topological insulator thin film modulated by an electric potential 刘一曼, 邵怀华, 周小英, 周光辉 2013 (7):  77310-077310.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/077310 摘要 ( 687 )   PDF(849KB) ( 678 )   We study the electronic structure and spin polarization for surface states of a three-dimensional topological insulator (TI) thin film modulated by an electrical potential well. By routinely solving the low energy surface Dirac equation for the system, we demonstrated that there exist confined surface states in which the electron density is nearly localized inside the well and is exponentially decayed outside in real space, and their subband dispersions are quasilinear with respect to the propagating wavevector. Interestingly, the top and bottom surface confined states with the same density distribution have opposite spin polarizations due to the hybridization between the two surfaces. Along with the mathematical analysis, we provide an intuitive, topological understanding of the effect. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Strong flux pinning enhancement in YBa2Cu3O7-x films by embedded BaZrO3 and BaTiO3 nanoparticles 丁发柱, 古宏伟, 张腾, 王洪艳, 屈飞, 邱清泉, 戴少涛, 彭星煜 2013 (7):  77401-077401.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/077401 摘要 ( 635 )   PDF(1636KB) ( 865 )   YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) films with embedded BaZrO3 and BaTiO3 nanoparitcles were fabricated by metalorganic deposition using trifluoroacetates (TFA-MOD). Both X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy revealed that these BaZrO3 and BaTiO3 nanoparitcles had random orientations and were distributed stochastically in the YBCO matrix. The unique combined microstructure enhanced the critical current density (Jc) of the BaZrO3/BaTiO3 doped-YBCO films while keeping the critical transition temperature (Tc) close to that in the pure YBCO films. These results indicated that the BaZrO3 and BaTiO3 nanoparitcles provide strong flux pinning in YBCO films. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Magnetization of Gd diffused Yba2Cu3O7-x superconductor：Experiment and theory F. Inanira, Ş. Yildizb, K. Ozturkc, S. Celebic 2013 (7):  77402-077402.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/077402 摘要 ( 555 )   PDF(600KB) ( 815 )   The magnetization of Gd diffused YBa2Cu3O7-x is measured by a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) at selected temperatures (5, 25, 50, 77 K). The experimental results for the magnetization are analyzed in the critical state framework involving Kim-Anderson field dependence Jc(H) = Jc0/(1+|H>|/H0)n of critical current density and equilibrium magnetization Meq. It is found that the inclusion of the equilibrium magnetization becomes more important at higher temperatures. At 77 K, the shape of the isothermal M-H hysteresis curve is governed by the equilibrium magnetization. Some superconducting parameters are determined by fitting the calculated curves to the experimental data. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Spin-1 Blume–Capel model with longitudinal random crystaland transverse magnetic fields：a mean-field approach Erhan Albayrak 2013 (7):  77501-077501.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/077501 摘要 ( 588 )   PDF(751KB) ( 473 )   The spin-1 Blume-Capel model with transverse Ω and longitudinal external magnetic fields h in addition to a longitudinal random crystal field D is studied in the mean-field approximation. It is assumed that the crystal field is either turned on with probability p or turned off with probability 1-p on the sites of a square lattice. Then the phase diagrams are calculated on the reduced temperature-crystal field planes for given values of γ=Ω/J and p at zero h. Thus, the effect of changing γ and p are illustrated on the phase diagrams in a great detail and interesting results are observed. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Y0.5La0.5BaMn2O6 has a tetragonal unit cell with a space group of P4/mmm. A structural transition between tetragonal and orthorhombic is observed at about 325 K by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Thermal magnetic measurement shows the occurrence of an antiferromagnetic transition at the temperature TN～190 K. Anomalies in magnetization, resistivity and lattice parameters observed around 340 K indicate a charge/orbital order transition accompanying the structural phase transition. R-site randomness effect is discussed to interpret the different properties of Y0.5La0.5BaMn2O6 between NdBaMn2O6 and SmBaMn2O6. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Topology-like dynamical behavior of magnetization reversal inexchange-bias systems 苏垣昌, 张丽娟, 杨鑫, 潘靖, 胡经国 2013 (7):  77503-077503.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/077503 摘要 ( 602 )   PDF(348KB) ( 394 )   In an exchange-bias system, the barriers with intrinsic potential energy may be asymmetric due to unidirectional anisotropy. Base on Stoner-Wohlfarth model, we show that the asymmetric barriers may lead to four kinds of dynamical process underlying the hysteresis-loop measurement. These kinds of dynamical process are different in a topology-like property, which can be controlled by the orientation of the external field. In our study, a new analysis approach has been proposed to reveal the dynamical behaviors of magnetization reversal. With this approach, coercivity, exchange-bias field, and asymmetry of hysteresis loop can be quantitatively obtained. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Frequency dependence of magnetoelectric effect in magnetostrictive-piezoelectric heterostructure 郁国良, 李元勋, 曾玉琴, 李颉, 左林, 李强, 张怀武 2013 (7):  77504-077504.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/077504 摘要 ( 597 )   PDF(371KB) ( 754 )   The frequency dependence of the magnetoelectric effect in a magnetostrictive-piezoelectric heterostructure is theoretically studied by solving combined magnetic, elastic, and electric equations with boundary conditions. Both the mechanical coupling coefficient and the losses of the magnetostrictive and piezoelectric phases are taken into account. The numerical result indicates that the magnetoelectric coefficient and the resonance frequency are determined by the mechanical coupling coefficient, losses, and geometric parameters. Moreover, at the electromechanical resonance frequency, the module of the magnetoelectric coefficient is mostly contributed by the imaginary part. The relationship between the real and the imaginary parts of the magnetoelectric coefficient fit well to the Cole-Cole circle. The magnetostrictive-piezoelectric heterostructure has a great potential application as miniature and no-secondary coil solid-state transformers. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Tunable characteristics of bending resonance frequency in magnetoelectric laminated composites 陈蕾, 李平, 文玉梅, 朱永 2013 (7):  77505-077505.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/077505 摘要 ( 631 )   PDF(333KB) ( 610 )   As magnetoelectric (ME) effect in the piezoelectric/magnetostrictive laminated composites is mediated by mechanical deformation, the ME effect is significantly enhanced in the vicinity of resonance frequency. The bending resonance frequency (fr) of bilayered Terfenol-D/PZT (MP) laminated composites is studied, and our analysis predicts that (i) the bending resonance frequency of MP laminated composite can be tuned by an applied dc magnetic bias (Hdc) due to Δ E effect; (ii) the bending resonance frequency of the MP laminated composite can be controlled by incorporating FeCuNbSiB layers with different thicknesses. The experimental results show that with Hdc increasing from 0 Oe (1 Oe=79.5775 A/m) to 700 Oe, the bending resonance frequency can be shifted in a range of 32.68 kHz ≤qslant fr ≤qslant 33.96 kHz. In addition, with the thickness of FeCuNbSiB layer increasing from 0 μm to 90 μm, the bending resonance frequency of the MP laminated composite gradually increases from 33.66 kHz to 39.18 kHz. This study offers the means by adjusting the strength of dc magnetic bias or the thicknesses of FeCuNbSiB layer to tune the bending resonance frequency for ME composite, which plays a guiding role in the ME composites design for real applications. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Critical exponents of ferroelectric transitions in modulated SrTiO3：Consequences of quantum fluctuations and quenched disorder 王景雪, 刘美风, 颜志波, 刘俊明 2013 (7):  77701-077701.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/077701 摘要 ( 612 )   PDF(526KB) ( 913 )   The ferroelectric transitions of several SrTiO3-based ferroelectrics are investigated experimentally and theoretically, with special attention to the critical scaling exponents associated with the phase transitions, in order to understand the competition among quantum fluctuations (QFs), quenched disorder, and ferroelectric ordering. Two representative systems with sufficiently strong QFs and quenched disorders in competition with the ferroelectric ordering are investigated. We start from non-stoichiometric SrTiO3 (STO) with the Sr/Ti ratio deviating slightly from one, which is believed to maintain strong QFs. Then, we address Ba/Ca co-doped Sr1-x(Ca0.6389Ba0.3611)xTiO3 (SCBT) with the averaged Sr-site ionic radius identical to the Sr2+ ionic radius, which is believed to offer remarkable quenched disorder associated with the Sr-site ionic mismatch. The critical exponents associated with polarization P and dielectric susceptibility ε, respectively, as functions of temperature T close to the critical point Tc, are evaluated. It is revealed that both non-stoichiometric SrTiO3 and SCBT exhibit much bigger critical exponents than the Landau mean-field theory predictions. These critical exponents then decrease gradually with increasing doping level or deviation of Sr/Ti ratio from one. A transverse Ising model applicable to the Sr-site doped STO (e.g., Sr1-xCaxTiO3) at low level is used to explain the observed experimental data. It is suggested that the serious deviation of these critical exponents from the Landau theory predictions in these STO-based systems is ascribed to the significant QFs and quenched disorder by partially suppressing the long-range spatial correlation of electric dipoles around the transitions. The present work thus sheds light on our understanding of the critical behaviors of ferroelectric transitions in STO in the presence of quantum fluctuations and quenched disorder, whose effects have been demonstrated to be remarkable. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

From powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, the formation of Ba9Sc2Si6O24 with R3 space group was confirmed. In the photoluminescence spectra under ultraviolet (UV) ray excitation, the Ba9Sc2Si6O24:Ce3+, Mn2+ phosphor emits two distinctive color light bands: a blue one originating from Ce3+ and a red one caused by Mn2+. The energy transfer process from Ce3+ to Mn2+ was confirmed, the critical radius as well as the transfer efficiency was calculated, and the energy transfer mechanism was discussed. In addition, the decay-time testing indicates that the energy transfer efficiencies from Ce(1) to Mn2+ and Ce(2) to Mn2+ are different. The emission chromaticity of Ba9Sc2Si6O24:Ce3+, Mn2+ phosphor could be tuned from blue to red by altering the Ce3+/Mn2+ concentration ratio. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Photo-induced absorption in pump probe spectroscopy of single-walled carbon nanotubes 朱子鹏 2013 (7):  77803-077803.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/077803 摘要 ( 676 )   PDF(436KB) ( 1166 )   Femtosecond pump probe spectroscopy is employed to study the photo-induced absorption feature in single-walled carbon nanotube transient spectrum. The two advantages of the experiment, a chirality enriched sample and tuning the pump wavelength to the resonance of a specific nanotube species, greatly facilitate the identification of the photo-induced absorption signal of one tube species. It is found that a photo-induced absorption feature is located at one radial breathing mode to the blue side of the E11 state. This finding prompts a new explanation for the origin of the photo-induced absorption: the transition from the ground state to a phonon coupled state near the Eii state. The explanation suggests a superposition mechanism of the photo-bleach and photo-induced absorption signals, which may serve as a key to the interpretation of the complex pump probe transient spectrum of carbon nanotubes. The finding shed some light on the understanding of the complex non-radiative relaxation process and the electronic structure of single-walled carbon nanotubes. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Using multiple scale expansion and matching method, we obtain the global steady solution of gasar eutectic growth as the Peclet number ε«1, where ε is defined as the ratio of half an inter-pore spacing and solutal diffusion length. We also give the interfacial shape and predict the porosity of gasar eutectic growth. Results show that porosity is mainly determined by external pressure above metal melt and independent of pulling velocity.

Influences of high-temperature annealing on atomic layer deposited Al2O3/4H-SiC 王弋宇, 申华军, 白云, 汤益丹, 刘可安, 李诚瞻, 刘新宇 2013 (7):  78102-078102.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/078102 摘要 ( 579 )   PDF(643KB) ( 1675 )   High-temperature annealing of atomic layer deposition (ALD) of Al2O3 films on 4H-SiC in O2 atmosphere is studied with temperature ranging from 800℃ to 1000℃. It is observed that the surface morphology of Al2O3 films annealed at 800℃ and 900℃ is pretty good, while the surface of the sample annealed at 1000℃ becomes bumpy. Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) measurements demonstrate that the as-grown films are amorphous and begin to crystallize at 900℃. Furthermore, C-V measurements exhibit improved interface characterization after annealing, especially for samples annealed at 900℃ and 1000℃. It is indicated that high-temperature annealing in O2 atmosphere can improve the interface of Al2O3/SiC and annealing at 900℃ would be an optimum condition for surface morphology, dielectric quality, and interface states. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Densification and lithium ion conductivity of garnet-type Li7-xLa3Zr2-xTaxO12 (x=0.25) solid electrolytes 曹阳, 李忆秋, 郭向欣 2013 (7):  78201-078201.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/078201 摘要 ( 858 )   PDF(547KB) ( 2321 )   The garnet-type Li7La3Zr2O12 ceramic is one of promising solid electrolytes for all-solid-state secondary lithium batteries. However, it faces problem of volatilization of lithium during sintering, which may cause low density and deterioration of ionic conductivity. In this work, the effects of sintering temperature and addition on the density as well as the lithium ion conductivity of Li7-xLa3Zr2-xTaxO12 (LLZTO, x=0.25) ceramics prepared by solid state reaction have been studied. It is found that optimization of the sintering temperature leads to a minor increase in the ceramic density, yielding an optimum ionic conductivity of 2.9×10-4 S·cm-1 at 25℃. Introduction of Li3PO4 addition in an appropriate concentration can obviously increase the density, leading to an optimum ionic conductivity of 7.2×10-4 S·cm-1 at 25℃. This value is superior to the conductivity data in most recent reports on the LLZTO ceramics. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) combining with the input delay approach as well as the free-weighting matrix approach is employed to derive several sufficient criteria in terms of LMIs to ensure the delayed MJFCNNs with the Wiener process is stochastic asymptotical synchronous. Restrictions (e.g., time derivative is smaller than one) are removed to obtain a proposed sampled-data controller. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the reliability of the derived results. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The stepped-thickness quantum wells structure, in which the well thickness becomes smaller and smaller along the growth direction, reveals better crystalline quality and better spectral overlap with the solar spectrum. Consequently, the short-circuit current density (Jsc) and conversion efficiency of the solar cell are enhanced by 27.12% and 56.41% compared with the conventional structure under illumination of AM1.5G (100 mW/cm2). In addition, approaches to further promote the performance of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well solar cells are discussed and presented. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

The devices demonstrate not only high breakdown voltages above 350 V, but also excellent memory behaviors. A drain current-gate voltage (ID-VG) memory window of about 2.2 V is obtained at the sweep voltages of ± 10 V for the 350-V laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS). The retention time of about 270 s is recorded for the LDMOS through a controlled ID-VG measurement.

Image reconstruction based on total-variation minimization and alternating direction method in linear scan computed tomography 张瀚铭, 王林元, 闫镔, 李磊, 席晓琦, 陆利忠 2013 (7):  78701-078701.  doi: 10.1088/1674-1056/22/7/078701 摘要 ( 992 )   PDF(586KB) ( 1264 )   Linear scan computed tomography (LCT) is of great benefit to online industrial scanning and security inspection due to its characteristics of straight-line source trajectory and high scanning speed. However, in practical applications of LCT, there are challenges to image reconstruction due to limited-angle and insufficient data. In this paper, a new reconstruction algorithm based on total-variation (TV) minimization is developed to reconstruct images from limited-angle and insufficient data in LCT. The main idea of our approach is to reformulate a TV problem as a linear equality constrained problem where the objective function is separable, and then minimize its augmented Lagrangian function by using alternating direction method (ADM) to solve subproblems. The proposed method is robust and efficient in the task of reconstruction by showing the convergence of ADM. The numerical simulations and real data reconstructions show that the proposed reconstruction method brings reasonable performance and outperforms some previous ones when applied to an LCT imaging problem. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

By increasing the deposition temperature of the Al layers to 270℃, the surface texturing of silver and aluminum double-structured layers was performed. The highly submicro-textured silver and aluminum double-structured layers were prepared by thermal evaporation on quartz glasses and their surface microstructure, light scattering properties, and thermal stability were investigated. Results showed that the highly submicro-textured Ag/Al composite films prepared at low substrate temperatures used as back reflectors not only can enhance the light scattering and have good thermal stability, but also have good adhesion properties. In addition, their fabrication is low cost and readily carried out. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

However, few circuit models of them have been proposed. In this paper, we propose the SPICE modeling of flux-controlled unipolar memristive devices based on the memristance versus state map. Using our model, the flux thresholds, ON and OFF resistance, compliance current can easily be set as model parameters. We simulate the model in HSPICE using model parameters abstracted from real devices, and the simulation results show that our model caters to the real device data very well, thus demonstrating that our model is correct. Using the same modeling methodology, the SPICE model of charge-controlled unipolar memristive devices could also be developed. The proposed model could be used to model resistive memory cells, logical gates as well as synapses in artificial neural networks. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标

Consequently, identifying patterns of unusual topology evolution is critical for Internet topology modeling and simulation. We analyze IPv6 Internet topology evolution in IP-level graph to demonstrate how it changes in uncommon ways to restructure the Internet. After evaluating the changes of average degree, average path length, and some other metrics over time, we find that in the case of a large-scale growing the Internet becomes more robust; whereas in a top-bottom connection enhancement the Internet maintains its efficiency with links largely decreased. 参考文献 | 相关文章 | 计量指标
