Nonlinear analysis of relativistic harmonic generation by intenselasers in plasmas

A linearly polarized, ultraintense laser field induces transverse plasma currents which are highly relativistic and nonlinear, resulting in the generation of coherent harmonic radiation in the forward direction (i.e., copropagating with the incident laser field). A nonlinear cold fluid model, valid for ultrahigh intensities, is formulated and used to analyze relativistic harmonic generation. The plasma density response is included self-consistently and is shown to significantly reduce the current driving the harmonic radiation. Phase detuning severely limits the growth of the harmonic radiation. The effects of diffraction are considered in the mildly relativistic limit. No third-harmonic signal emerges from a uniform plasma of near-infinite extent. A finite third-harmonic signal requires the use of a semi-infinite or finite slab plasma. For an initially uniform plasma, no second-harmonic radiation is generated. Generation of even harmonics requires transverse gradients in the initial plasma density profile     

Robust stabilization of internally delayed uncertain systems via sliding mode control

Summary The problem of robust stabilization of internally delayed uncertain systems via sliding mode controllers (SMC's) is studied in this paper. The robustness property and assymptotic stability of the system are discussed. Some sufficient conditions for the design of SMC and the switching hyperplane are given. Further generalization results, which lead to a simple design and implementation, are made for the system being described in companion form. A method is suggested for the elimination of limit cycles in systems being regulated by a relay SMC while allowing the generation of sliding motion and thus ensuring the closed-loop asymptotic stability.     

Variational study of vacuum structure with fermions ind+1 dimensional Hamiltonian lattice gauge theory

The physical vacuum state and general expression for the Hamiltonian ofd+1 dimensional lattice gauge theory are given by incorporating the exact ground state of pure gauge theory and the variational fermion vacuum state. The applications toSU(2) andSU(3) gauge theories in 2+1 and 3+1 dimensions are demonstrated and the fermion condensates \(\left\langle {\bar \psi \psi } \right\rangle \) as functions of 1/g ² are calculated.     

Convergence of the fractional step Lax-Friedrichs scheme and Godunov scheme for the isentropic system of gas dynamics

A convergence theorem of the fractional step Lax-Friedrichs scheme and Godunov scheme for an inhomogeneous system of isentropic gas dynamics (1<5/3) is established by using the framework of compensated compactness. Meanwhile, a corresponding existence theorem of global solutions with large data containing the vacuum is obtained.Partially supported by U.S. NSF Grant # DMS-850403     

Na2SnO3系催化剂在甲烷氧化偶联反应中的催化性能及表面碱性的探讨

1982年Keller和Bhasin以金属氧化物为催化剂从甲烷制得少量乙烯和乙烷的工作引起了各国研究工作者的重视,此后报道了许多有研究价值的催化剂,其中添加碱金属对提高催化性能所起的作用引起了普遍的关注.Lunsford等首先用添加Li~+的MgO作催化剂,发现催化剂表面碱性增强的同时,生成C_2烃类产物的选择性明显增加.随后Iwamatu等在MgO中添加Na~+及Rb~+盐,Jones等在Mn~(4+)/SiO_2中添加Na~+,Otsuka等在Sm_2O_3中添加LiCl作为甲烷氧化偶联催化剂进行了研究,这些结果均表明,因添加碱金属使催化剂呈现
