Infrared optical response of YBa2Cu3O7 and PrBa2Cu3O7 An ellipsometric study

Ellipsometry was used to study (110) and (001) oriented films of YBa₂Cu₃O₇ and PrBa₂Cu₃O₇ in the mid-and near-infrared spectral regions. Below a photon energy of 0.1 eV, the in-plane component of the dielectric tensor of YBa₂Cu₃O₇ is dominated by a Drude term with a squared plasma energy of (3.0 ± 0.3) eV². This “oscillator strength”, and the Lorentzian broadening energy of (0.104 ± 0.005) eV at room temperature, are confirmed by the changes induced in Pr-substituted material, and by low-temperature measurements in the near-infrared. The deviation from the Drude behavior observed above 0.1 eV is accounted for by a broad absorption band with an oscillator strength of (3.6 ± 0.1) eV² in YBa₂Cu₃O₇ which shifts to higher energies and takes over almost all of the oscillator strength of the Drude term when Y is substituted by Pr. The response to electric fields perpendicular to the planes is much weaker, with an upper bound of 0.63 eV² for the squared plasma energy. The in-plane loss function computed from the measured dielectric function follows the Drude-like lineshape, modified by the bound-state absorption band, down to the lowest energy reached in our measurements (0.058 eV).     

Colored Noises-Induced Regime Shifts in a Vegetation Ecological System

In this paper, we investigate the stationary probability distribution and mean first passage time in a vegetation ecological system, which is driven by cross-correlation between intrinsic and extrinsic colored noises as well as the nonzero cross-correlation in between. The impacts of the self-correlation time τ₁ and τ₂, the cross-correlation time τ₃ and intensity k on the stationary probability distribution and mean first passage time are discussed, respectively. Our main results show that: (#em/em#) the self-correlation time τ₁ can induce regime shifts from the desert state to the sustainable vegetation state, while the self-correlation time τ₂, cross-correlation time τ₃ and intensity k can induce regime shifts from the sustainable vegetation state to the desert state; and (ii) the self-correlation time τ₁ or τ₂ can enhance the stability of the sustainable vegetation biomass, while the cross-correlation time τ₃ or strength k weakens the stability of the sustainable vegetation biomass.     

基于准弹性中子散射谱分析水化硅酸钙(C-S-H)中受限水的动态

研究水化硅酸钙(C-S-H)中受限水动态的一种重要手段是准弹性中子散射(quasi-elastic neutron scattering, QENS)实验. C-S-H样品的QENS谱数据可通过跳跃扩散和转动扩散模型进行分析拟合, 进而导出C-S-H样品微纳孔中水动态的相关物理参数: 不动水指数C、转动扩散系数D_r、均方位移< u² >、自扩散系数D_t及平均停留时间τ₀. 本文对水与水泥质量比为30%的C-S-H样品, 测量温度为230-280 K的QENS谱进行了分析, 得到的拟合参数可定量描述C-S-H样品内不同尺度的微纳孔中受限水随温度变化的动态过程. 转动扩散系数D_r随散射矢量Q的变化可知, Q值较大时, 水分子的转动对QENS谱影响较大. 均方位移 < u² > 随Q值的不同而变化, 其拟合值可区分C-S-H样品中的不动水、强受限水和受限水. 在Q较小时, D_t 和τ₀ 的拟合值随温度而变化, 并分别在230和240 K突然增大, 由此揭示温度为230-240 K 时, C-S-H 样品中受限水分子的动态特性发生了转变.     

Inelastic electron scattering from He

The spectra of electrons scattered inelastically from ⁴He have been measured at incident energies from 150 MeV to 400 MeV for scattering angles from 38° to 90°. Through the use of a liquid ⁴He target, a high momentum resolution (≈0.25%) was obtained, and the 20 MeV 0⁺ state of the -particle was observed for the first time in electron scattering. The excitation energy and the total width of this state were determined and are in good agreement with the results from other experimental methods. It was found that the total disintegration cross section appears be smaller than 2(σ_p+σ_n) by more than an order of magnitude at the lowest q²(≈ 0.33 fm⁻²). In earlier work the assumption of a total cross section of 2(σ_p+σ_n) was found to be quite accurate for higher q². As a new result, the partial radiative width for the 0⁺ state is determined to be Γ_rad = 1.1±0.3 meV.     

ab initio Study of Electronic Structure and Magnetic Properties of a Novel Two-Dimensional Copper(II)-Radical Complex [Cu(NTTmPy)2(N3)2]n

The full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FPLAPW) method with the generalized gradient approximations (GGA) is applied to study the compound [Cu(NTTmPy)₂(N₃)₂]_n (NITmPy=2-(3'-Pyridy1)-4, 4, 5, 5-tetramethylimidazolin-1-oxy1-3-oxide). The total density of states (DOS) and the partial density of states (pDOS) are calculated to explain the electronic and the magnetic properties of [Cu(NTTmPy)₂(N₃)₂]_n. It is found that [Cu(NTTmPy)₂(N₃)₂]_n is stable in the ferromagnetic state and the magnetic moment of the molecule mainly comes from the Cu atoms (0.518 μ_B) with partial contribution from N, O atoms of nitronyl nitroxide radicals. There exist orbital hybridization between 3d orbital of Cu and p orbitals of N(1) (from pyridyl rings of the NITmPy ligands) and N(4) (from azido group) and the weak direct exchange interactions between Cu and O atoms of nitronyl nitroxides. In addition, the bridging carbon atom (C(6)) carries a significant negative spin density (-0.019μ_B). The sign alternation of the magnetic moment along the pyridyl ring is obtained, which agrees with experiments.     

Exact Solutions of Ablowitz-Ladik Hierarchy with Self-Consistent Sources Revisited and Reductions

In the paper, Ablowitz-Ladik hierarchy with new self-consistent sources is investigated. First the source in the hierarchy is described as φ_nφ_n+1, where φ_n is related to the Ablowitz-Ladik spectral problem, instead of the corresponding adjoint spectral problem. Then by means of the inverse scattering transform, the multi-soliton solutions for the hierarchy are obtained. Two reductions to the discrete mKdV and nonlinear Schrödinger hierarchies with self-consistent sources are considered by using the uniqueness of the Jost functions, as well as their N-soliton solutions.

The Generalized Moment Analysis (GMA) and Spin Analysis for Boson Resonances

Our analyais^[1] has shown that there exist sensitive and insensitive regions to determine the spin (J = 2 or 4) of ξ(2230) in the general helicity formalism. Whereaa it just falls into the insensitive region by using current data of ξ. If the number of events is not sufficient it is difficult to determine the spin of ξ^[2]. In this paper we generalize the moment analysis^[3]. We define the photon angular distribution H_J(θ_τ, LM) for the moment of process e⁺ +R^- → J/ψ → τ + ξ, ξ → p + p and the weighted moment by choosing appropriate weight function. They provide an effective criterion to determine the spin of ξ. We also use the method to discuss LIE puzzle for process e⁺ + e^- → J/ψ → τ + B₁ B → P₁ + P₂ + P₃.     

Favourable scenarios established by SMBI for the realization of the ELMy H-mode at HL-2A

The ELMy H-mode plasmas realized with the supersonic molecular beam injection(SMBI) are studied in relation to the energy confinement and the heating power for the L–H transition(P_(L-H) ) in the HL-2A tokamak. A database is assembled for this study based on the ELMy H-mode discharges during the experimental campaigns in the period 2009–2013at the HL-2A tokamak. The statistical results show that the SMBI is favourable for reaching the H-mode by reducing the heating power at the L–H transition and for the H-mode performance by improving the energy confinement compared with the ordinary gas puffing(GP). The reduction of P_(L-H) is about 20% when the density is low, and the energy confinement enhancement factor of H_(H98y2)= τ_E/τ_(th,98y2) ≈ 1.5 is achieved with the SMBI. Note that in the database the density dependence of P_(L-H) is non-monotonic with the ˉne,min≈ 3×10~(19) m~(-3) at which the P_(L-H) is minimum. Most of P_(L-H) data are on the low density branch where the P_(L-H) increases with the decrease in density. The minimum of the P_(L-H) in HL-2A is comparable to the ITPA multi-machine threshold power scaling P_(thr■scal08). The physics behind the reduction of the P_(L-H) with the SMBI is also investigated in relation to the change of the density gradient at the plasma edge, the gas fuelling efficiency, and the recycling.     

STUDIES ON THE BEHAVIOR OF THE INTERNAL VIBRATIONAL MODES IN (NH4)2TexSn1-xCl6 MIXED CRYSTALS

The behavior of the internal lattice vibrational modes in (NH4)2TexSn1-xCl6 mixed crystals has been investigated by Raman scattering. All of the Raman-active [MX6]2- internal modes show two-mode property in the mixed crystals with compositions from x?=?0 to 1, and apart from the sample with x?=?0.5, their energy positions are composition-independent. Space group calculations including site symmetry considerations and frequency fittings describe a good force field model. It has been demonstrated that the composition-independent two-mode behavior may come from the strong clustering effect, rather than from the character of the gap and local modes of impurities in mixed crystals. For the sample with x?=?0.5, the two component elements seem to form a pseudo-periodic lattice structure.     

FAR-INFRARED AND INFRARED REFLECTIONS OF Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3O10 FILM

The far-infrared and infrared reflection spectra of Tl₂Ba₂Ca₂Cu₃O₁₀ superconducting film are reported in this paper. It is found there are three sharp reflection edges in both the superconducting and normal states, their positions being near ≈ 150, ≈ 350 and ≈600 cm^-1. We attribute these reflection spectra to the Drude free carriers and a wide mid-infrared absorption band. When the incident angle increases from 7° to 30°, some additional stractures appear in the refiection spectra, which are the A_2u phonon modes vibrating along c-axis.     

Rational Solutions for the Fokas System

Fokas system is the simplest (2+1)-dimensional extension of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (Eq. (2), Inverse Problems 10 (1994) L19-L22). By using the bilinear transformation method, general rational solutions for the Fokas system are given explicitly in terms of two order-N determinants τn (n = 0, 1) whose elements m_i,j⁽ⁿ⁾ (n = 0, 1; 1 ≤ i, j ≤ N) are involved with order-n_i and order-n_j derivatives. When N = 1, three kinds of rational solution, i.e., fundamental lump and fundamental rogue wave (RW) with n₁ = 1, and higher-order rational solution with n₁ ≥ 2, are illustrated by explicit formulas from τn (n = 0, 1) and pictures. The fundamental RW is a line RW possessing a line profile on (x, y)-plane, which arises from a constant background with at t << 0 and then disappears into the constant background gradually at t >> 0. The fundamental lump is a traveling wave, which can preserve its profile during the propagation on (x, y)-plane. When N ≥ 2 and n₁ = n₂ = ··· = n_N = 1, several specific multi-rational solutions are given graphically.     

On the controversial magnetic properties of the schiff-base metal-organic polymer {[Fe(C13H17N3)2]SO4·6H2O}n

Within the search for magnetic ordering in organic and metal-organic compounds, the polymeric material of formula {[Fe(C₁₃H₁₇N₃)₂]SO₄·6H₂O}_n has been extensively studied by magnetic measurements. Our results show a basic agreement with the previous ones. Nevertheless, our study, including more data, leads to an interpretation in terms of superparamagnetism rather than metamagnetism as was previously reported.     

散射光信号与石墨-二氧化硅激光辐照烧蚀阈值的关系

石墨-二氧化硅作为无机添加材料,广泛应用于各类航空航天器烧蚀涂层领域,其在高温下具有较高的反应吸热焓,在高能激光烧蚀领域具有良好的应用前景。目前,关于石墨-二氧化硅的高能激光烧蚀研究较少,尤其在高能激光烧蚀中的反应时间和烧蚀阈值难以确定。针对此问题,利用近红外探测器对激光辐照样品表面的散射光进行实时探测,并对其散射光曲线进行微分拟合处理。基于此散射光信号,结合样品烧蚀后的形态结构分析,研究了石墨-二氧化硅在不同激光功率密度下的反应时间阈值。研究结果表明:在激光输出功率密度为500 W/cm~2持续辐照10 s时,散射光拟合曲线持续升高无突变,表明未发生明显的烧蚀;当激光功率密度升高至1 000~1 500 W/cm~2时,散射光微分拟合曲线出现明显转折点,对应的反应时间阈值分别为1.5 s和0.8 s。

Multiferroicity in Perovskite Manganite Superlattice

Multiferroic properties of short period perovskite type manganite superlattice ((R₁MnO₃)_n/(R₂MnO₃)_n (n=1,2,3)) are considered within the framework of classical Heisenberg model using Monte Carlo simulation. Our result revealed the interesting behaviors in Mn spins structure in superlattice. Apart from simple plane spin cycloid structure which is shown in all manganites including bulk, film, and superlattice here in low temperature, a non-coplanar spiral spin structure is exhibited in a certain temperature range when n equals 1, 2 or 3. Specific heat, spin-helicity vector, spin correlation function, spin-helicity correlation function, and spin configuration are calculated to confirm this non-coplanar spiral spin structure. These results are associated with the competition among exchange interaction, magnetic anisotropy, and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction.     

Modeling of low-pressure microwave discharges in Ar, He, andO2: similarity laws for the maintenance field and mean powertransfer

A kinetic study of low-pressure microwave discharges in Ar, He, and O₂ is carried out using electron-transport parameters and rate coefficients derived from solutions to the Boltzmann equation, together with the continuity and transport equations for the charged particles, taking into account stepwise-ionization processes. The Boltzmann equation is solved over a wide range of the applied frequency, ω/2π, but assuming that the angular frequency ω>τ _e^-1, with τ_e, denoting the characteristic time for electron-energy relaxation by collisions. The formulation provides discharge characteristics for the maintenance field and for mean absorbed power per electron in the three gases, which are shown to agree satisfactorily with experimental data obtained from surface-wave discharges. It is shown that such an agreement would not always be obtained without consideration of the role played by stepwise-ionization processes in sustaining the discharge
