Investigations of the electron paramagnetic resonance parameters and the tetragonal local structure for (VCl6)4- coordination complex in MCl:V2+ (M=Na, K, Rb) systems

By simulating the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and optical spectra on the basis of the 120×120 complete energy matrix, this paper determines the local lattice structure parameters R1 and R2 for MCl:V2+ (M=Na, K, Rb) systems at 77 K, 195 K and RT (room temperature 295 K or 302 K), respectively. The theoretical results indicate that there exists a compressed distortion in MCl:V2+ systems. Meanwhile, it finds that the structure parameters R1, R2 and |△R| (= R1-R2) increase with the rising temperature. Subsequently, from the analysis it concludes that the relation of EPR parameter D vs.△R is approximately linear. Finally, the effects of orbital reduction factor k on the g factors for the three systems have been discussed.     

Entanglement evolution in an anisotropic two-qubit Heisenberg XYZ model with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction

This paper investigates the entanglement evolution of a two-qubit anisotropic Heisenberg XYZ chain in the presence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction.The time evolution of the concurrence is studied for the initial pure entangled states cos θ |00 + sin θ |11 and cos |01 + sin |10 at zero temperature.The influences of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction D,anisotropic parameter and environment coupling strength γ on entanglement evolution are analysed in detail.It is found that the effect of noisy environment obviously suppresses the entanglement evolution,and the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction D acts on the time evolution of entanglement only when the initial state is cos |01 + sin |10.Finally,a formula of steady state concurrence is obtained,and it is shown that the stable concurrence,which is independent of different initial states and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction D,depends on the anisotropic parameter and the environment coupling strength γ.     

Amplitude-squared squeezing in superposed coherent states

We study amplitude-squared squeezing of the Hermitian operator Z_θ=Z₁ cosθ+Z₂ sin θ, in the most general superposition state , of two coherent states and . Here operators Z_1,2 are defined by , a is annihilation operator, θ is angle, and complex numbers C_1,2 , α, β are arbitrary and only restriction on these is the normalization condition of the state . We define the condition for a state to be amplitude-squared squeezed for the operator Z_θ if squeezing parameter , where N=a⁺a and . We find maximum amplitude-squared squeezing of Z_θ in the superposed coherent state with minimum value 0.3268 of the parameter S for an infinite combinations with α- β= 2.16 exp [±i(π/4) + iθ/2], and with arbitrary values of (α+β) and θ. For this minimum value of squeezing parameter S, the expectation value of photon number can vary from the minimum value 1.0481 to infinity. Variations of the parameter S with different variables at maximum amplitude-squared squeezing are also discussed.     

Structure and luminescence of Ca2Si5N8：Eu^2＋ phosphor for warm white light-emitting diodes

We have synthesized Ca 2 Si 5 N 8:Eu 2+ phosphor through a solid-state reaction and investigated its structural and luminescent properties.Our Rietveld refinement of the crystal structure of Ca 1.9 Eu 0.1 Si 5 N 8 reveals that Eu atoms substituting for Ca atoms occupy two crystallographic positions.Between 10 K and 300 K,Ca 2 Si 5 N 8:Eu 2+ phosphor shows a broad red emission band centred at ～1.97 eV-2.01 eV.The gravity centre of the excitation band is located at 3.0 eV-3.31 eV.The centroid shift of the 5d levels of Eu 2+ is determined to be ～1.17 eV,and the red-shift of the lowest absorption band to be ～ 0.54 eV due to the crystal field splitting.We have analysed the temperature dependence of PL by using a configuration coordinate model.The Huang-Rhys parameter S=6.0,the phonon energy ν=52 meV,and the Stokes shift S=0.57 eV are obtained.The emission intensity maximum occurring at ～200 K can be explained by a trapping effect.Both photoluminescence (PL) emission intensity and decay time decrease with temperature increasing beyond 200 K due to the non-radiative process.     

Effect of R substitution on magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effects of La1-xRxFe11.5Si1.5 compounds with R=Ce, Pr and Nd

<正>Magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effects of La_1-xR_xFe₁₁₀₅ Si₉105)（R=Pr,（0≤x≤0.5）;R = Ce and Nd, （0≤x≤0.3）） compounds are investigated.Partially replacing La with R = Ce,Pr and Nd in La_1-xR_xFe_11.5Si_1.5 leads to a reduction in Curie temperature due to the lattice contraction.The substitution of R for La causes an enhancement in field-induced itinerant electron metamagnetic transition,which leads to a remarkable increase in magnetic entropy change△S_m and also in hysteresis loss.However,a high effective refrigerant capacity RC_eff is still maintained in La_1-xR_xFe_11.5Si_1.5.In the present samples,a large△S_m and a high RC_eff have been achieved simultaneously.     

Quantum interference effects in a multidriven transition Fg=3←→Fe=2

We have theoretically and experimentally studied the quantum coherence effects of a degenerate transition Fg =3←→Fe=2 system interacting with a weak linearly polarized （with σ＋ components） probe light and a strong linearly polarized （with σ＋ components） coupling field. Due to the competition between the drive Rabi frequency and the Zeeman splitting, electromagnetically induced transparency （EIT） and electromagnetically induced absorption （EIA） are present at the different values of applied magnetic field in the case where the Zeeman splitting of excited state Δe is larger than the Zeeman splitting of ground state Δg （i.e.Δe 〉 Δg）.     

Properties of field quantum entropy evolution in the Jaynes--Cummings model with initial squeezed coherent states field

The properties of the field quantum entropy evolution in a system of a single-mode squeezed coherent state field interacting with a two-level atom is studied by utilizing the complete quantum theory, and we focus our attention on the discussion of the influences of field squeezing parameter $\gamma $, atomic distribution angle $\theta $ and coupling strength $g$ between the field and the atom on the properties of the evolution of field quantum entropy. The results obtained from numerical calculation indicate that the amplitude of oscillation of field quantum entropy evolution decreases with the increasing of squeezing parameter $\gamma $, and that both atomic distribution angle $\theta $ and coupling strength $g$ between the field and the atom can influence the periodicity of field quantum entropy evolution.     

Experimental sensitivity on searching for CP violation at BES-III

The CP violation in the D system is predicted to be an unobserved level in the Standard Model. In this paper, we describe the method of searching for CP violation decay processes with the coherently produced D00 mesons from the ψ(3770) decay. The CP violation decay processes can be searched for at the BES-III experiment. The experimental sensitivity for searching for the CP violation can reach about a 10-4 level with a ψ(3770) data sample of about 20 fb-1.     

Analysis of thermal conductivity in tree-like branched networks

Asymmetric tree-like branched networks are explored by geometric algorithms. Based on the network, an analysis of the thermal conductivity is presented. The relationship between effective thermal conductivity and geometric structures is obtained by using the thermal-electrical analogy technique. In all studied cases, a clear behaviour is observed, where angle (δ ,θ ) among parent branching extended lines, branches and parameter of the geometric structures have stronger effects on the effective thermal conductivity. When the angle δ is fixed, the optical diameter ratio β^* is dependent on angle θ . Moreover, γ and m are not related to β ^* . The longer the branch is, the smaller the effective thermal conductivity will be. It is also found that when the angle θ < δ / 2, the higher the iteration m is, the lower the thermal conductivity will be and it tends to zero, otherwise, it is bigger than zero. When the diameter ratio β ₁< 0.707 and angle δ is bigger, the optimal k of the perfect ratio increases with the increase of the angle δ ; when β ₁> 0.707, the optimal k decreases. In addition, the effective thermal conductivity is always less than that of single channel material. The present results also show that the effective thermal conductivity of the asymmetric tree-like branched networks does not obey Murray's law.     

The effect of doped ions on single-molecule magnets of the Mn12-Ac family

This paper investigates the single-molecule magnets of pure and Cr/Fe-doped Mn12-Ac. The components of the mixed crystals are identified by AC susceptibility technique. The ground-state spin and anisotropy parameters of doped Mn12-Ac are obtained： （i） MnllCr-Ac （S=19/2, D=0.62K, B=0.0009K, A=63K）, and （ii） Mn11Fe-Ac （S=21/2, D=0.39 K, B=0.001 K, △=55 K）. The single-ion origin of the magnetic anisotropy is discussed.     

Transitions in a genotype selection model driven by coloured noises

This paper investigates a genotype selection model subjected to both a multiplicative coloured noise and an additive coloured noise with different correlation time τ1 and τ2 by means of the numerical technique. By directly simulating the Langevin Equation, the following results are obtained. （1） The multiplicative coloured noise dominates, however, the effect of the additive coloured noise is not neglected in the practical gene selection process. The selection rate μ decides that the selection is propitious to gene A haploid or gene B haploid. （2） The additive coloured noise intensity and the correlation time τ2 play opposite roles. It is noted that α and τ2 can not separate the single peak, while can make the peak disappear and ~-2 can make the peak be sharp. （3） The multiplicative coloured noise intensity D and the correlation time τ1 can induce phase transition, at the same time they play opposite roles and the reentrance phenomenon appears. In this case, it is easy to select one type haploid from the group with increasing D and decreasing τ1.     

Mixedness of the N-qubit states with exchange symmetry

The mixedness of the N-qubit quantum states with exchange symmetry has been studied, and the results show that the linear entropy of the single qubit reduced density matrix （RDM）, which can describe the mixedness, is completely determined by the expectation values 〈Sz〉 and 〈S±〉 for both the pure and the mixed states. The mixedness of the pure states can be used to describe the bipartite entanglement, as an example we have calculated the mixedness of the Dicke state and the spin squeezed Kitagawa-Ueda state. For the mixed states, we determine the mixedness properties of both the ground states and the thermal states in mean-field clusters of spin-1/2 particles interacting via the anisotropy Heisenberg XXZ interaction, and found for the ferromagnetic case （J 〈 0）, the mixedness will approximate to the pairwise entanglement when the anisotropic parameter △ 〉 △c.     

Discrete gap breathers in a diatomic K2-K3-K4 chain with cubic nonlinearity

The discrete gap breathers （DGBs） in a one-dimensional diatomic chain with K2-K3-K4 potential are analysed. Using the local anharmonicity approximation, the analytical investigation has been implemented. The dependence of the central amplitude of the discrete gap breathers on the breather frequency and the localization parameter are calculated. With increasing breather frequency, the DGB amplitudes decrease. As a function of the localization parameter, the central amplitude exhibits bistability, corresponding to the two branches of the curve ω = ω（ζ）. With a nonzero cubic term, the HS mode of DGB profiles becomes weaker. With increasing K3, the HS mode of DGB profiles becomes weaker and a bit narrower. For the LS mode, with increasing K3, the central particle amplitude becomes larger, and the DGB profile becomes much sharper. But, as k3 increases further, the central particle amplitude of the LS mode becomes smaller.     

Stochastic resonance in a time-delayed asymmetric bistable system with mixed periodic signal

This paper studies the phenomenon of stochastic resonance in an asymmetric bistable system with time-delayed feedback and mixed periodic signal by using the theory of signal-to-noise ratio in the adiabatic limit. A general approximate Fokker--Planck equation and the expression of the signal-to-noise ratio are derived through the small time delay approximation at both fundamental harmonics and mixed harmonics. The effects of the additive noise intensity $Q$, multiplicative noise intensity $D$, static asymmetry $r$ and delay time $\tau$ on the signal-to-noise ratio are discussed. It is found that the higher mixed harmonics and the static asymmetry $r$ can restrain stochastic resonance, and the delay time $\tau $ can enhance stochastic resonance. Moreover, the longer the delay time $\tau $ is, the larger the additive noise intensity $Q$ and the multiplicative noise intensity $D$ are, when the stochastic resonance appears.     

Magnetization study of ITER-type internal-Sn Nb3Sn superconducting wire

Through magnetization measurement with a SQUID magnetometer the heat treatment optimization of an international thermonuclear experimental reactor （ITER）-type internal-Sn Nb3Sn superconducting wire has been investigated. The irreversibility temperature T^＊ （H）, which is mainly dependent on A15 phase composition, was obtained by a warming and cooling cycle at a fixed field. The hysteresis width △M（H） which reflects the flux pinning situation of the A15 phase is determined by the sweeping of magnetic field at a constant temperature. The results obtained from differently heat-treated samples show that the combination of T^＊ （H） with AM（H） measurement is very effective for optimizing the heat reaction process. The heat treatment condition of the ITER-type wire is optimized at 675℃/128 h, which results in a composition closer to stoichiometric Nb3Sn and a state with best flux pinning.     

Magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effects in Tb6Co1.67Si3 compound

Magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effects of Tb₆Co_1.67Si₃ have been investigated by magnetization measurement. This compound is of a hexagonal Ce$_{6}$Ni$_{2}$Si$_{3}$-type structure with a saturation magnetization of 187\,emu/g at 5\,K and a reversible second-order magnetic transition at Curie temperature $T_{\rm C} = 186$\,K. A magnetic entropy change $\Delta S = 7$\,J\,$\cdot$\,kg$^{-1}$\,$\cdot$\,K$^{-1}$ is observed for a magnetic field change from 0 to 5\,T. A large value of refrigerant capacity (RC) is found to be 330\,J/kg for fields ranging from 0 to 5\,T. The large RC, the reversible magnetization around $T_{\rm C}$ and the easy fabrication make the Tb₆Co_1.67Si₃ compound a suitable candidate for magnetic refrigerants in a corresponding temperature range.     

Rovibrational quenching of BH in ultracold 3He collisions

The interaction potential of a He-BH complex is investigated by the coupled-cluster single-double plus pertur-bative triples (CCSD (T)) method and an augmented correlation consistent polarized valence (aug-cc-pV)5Z basis set extended with a set of (3s3p2d1f1g) midbond functions. Using the five two-dimensional model potentials, the first three-dimensional interaction potential energy surface is constructed by interpolating along (r–r e ) by using a fourth-order polynomial. The cross sections for the rovibrational relaxation of BH in cold and ultracold collisions with 3 He atom are calculated based on the three-dimensional potential. The results show that the Δv =-1 transition is more efficient than the Δv =-2 transition, and that the process of relaxation takes place mainly between rotational energy levels with the same vibration state and the Δj =-1 transition is the most efficient. The zero temperature quenching rate coefficient is finite as predicted by Wigner’s law. The resonance is found to take place around 0.1–1 cm-1 translational energy, which gives rise to a step in the rate coefficients for temperatures around 0.1–1 K. The final rotational distributions in the state v = 0 resulting from the quenching of state (v = 1, j = 0) at three energies corresponding to the three different regimes are also given.     

Phonon spectra of La0.5Ca2MnO3

This paper presents a microscopic theory to explain different Raman modes of La0.5Ca0.5MnO3 based on the electronic Hamiltonian of the Kondo lattice model,which adds phonon interaction to the hybridization between the conduction electrons of the system and the l-electrons.The spectral density is calculated by the Green function technique of Zubarev at zero wave vector and in the low temperature limit.It finds that there are three Raman-active modes and the spectral densities of these modes are substantially influenced by model parameters such as the position of l-level(εJT),the effective electron-phonon coupling strength(g) and the hybridization parameter(v).Finally,the intensity changes of those peaks are investigated.     

Measurement of the np total cross section difference DsL(np)\Delta\sigma_{\mathrm L}(np) at 1.39, 1.69, 1.89 and 1.99 GeV

New accurate results of the neutron-proton spin-dependent total cross section difference at the neutron beam kinetic energies 1.39, 1.69, 1.89 and 1.99 GeV are presented. Measurements were carried out in 2001 at the Synchrophasotron of the Veksler and Baldin Laboratory of High Energies of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. A quasi-monochromatic neutron beam was produced by break-up of extracted polarized deuterons. The deuteron (and hence neutron) polarization direction was flipped every accelerator burst. The vertical neutron polarization direction was rotated onto the neutron beam direction and longitudinally (L) polarized neutrons were transmitted through a large proton L-polarized target. The target polarization vector was inverted after 1-2 days of measurements. The data were recorded for four different combinations of the beam and target parallel and antiparallel polarization directions at each energy. A fast decrease of with increasing energy above 1.1 GeV was confirmed. The structure in the energy dependence around 1.8 GeV, first observed from our previous data, seems to be well pronounced. The new results are also compared with model predictions and with phase shift analysis fits. The quantities for isosinglet state I = 0, deduced from the measured values and the known data, are also given. The results were completed by the measurements of unpolarized total cross sections at 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5 GeV and C) at 1.4 and 1.5 GeV. These data were obtained using the same apparatus and high intensity unpolarized deuteron beams were extracted either from the Synchrophasotron, or from the Nuclotron.Received: 13 May 2004, Published online: 12 August 2004G.D.
