The atomic structure and the properties of ununbium (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Z</Emphasis> = 112) and Mercury (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Z</Emphasis> = 80)

A super heavy element Uub (Z = 112) has been studied theoretically in conjunction with rela-tivistic effects and the effects of electron correlations. The atomic structure and the oscillator strengths of low-lying levels have been calculated, and the ground states have also been determined for the singly and doubly charged ions. The influence of relativity and correlation effects to the atomic properties of such a super heavy element has been investigated in detail. The results have been compared with the properties of an element Hg. Two energy levels at wave numbers 64470 and 94392 are suggested to be of good candidates for experimental observations.     

Data and modeling of negative ion transport in gases of interest for production of integrated circuits and nanotechnologies

We review techniques to prepare, evaluate and apply sets of cross section and transport data for negative ions that are required for the modeling of collisional non-equilibrium plasmas used for processing of microelectronic circuits. We collect and discuss the transport coefficients and cross section sets.We have compiled data for negative ions in CF₄ and CF₄-related negative ions in rare gases. In addition, we consider data for F⁻ and CF₃⁻ in rare gases. Furthermore, we analyze the cross sections of halogen negative ions in rare gases and other molecules. This is followed by the data for SF₆ related ions in SF₆ and in rare gases. The cross section for scattering of O⁻ in O₂ has been derived from the transport data and used to make calculations of the transport properties. Finally we give a brief discussion of the availability of the data for H⁻ ions in H₂. We have derived cross sections in several cases but the basic aim is to show the basic features of transport coefficients. In particular we discuss the need to represent properly some details such as the non-conservative nature of transport coefficients and the anisotropy of diffusion. Application of approximate theories and representations of cross sections are also discussed.     

层流与湍流等离子体冲击射流特性比较

本文采用数值模拟方法,对层流与湍流氩等离子体射流在空气环境中冲击平板时的流动与传热特性进行了对比研究.结果表明,在平板和射流进口间的距离较大时,平板的存在只对其附近的射流参数分布有较大影响,层流等离子体冲击射流的温度与轴向速度的轴向梯度明显小于湍流等离子体冲击射流情形;由于在平板表面形成的径向壁面射流对引射的附加贡献,层流和湍流等离子体冲击射流对环境空气的引射量明显增加.     

一维瞬态辐射传输的有限元法模拟

随着超短脉冲激光的快速发展,吸收散射性介质内的瞬态辐射传输引起了人们的广泛关注.本文基于离散坐标法和最小二乘有限元法(LSFEM),提出了模拟多维吸收散射性介质内瞬态辐射传输的数值模型.该模型有效地克服了在标准Galerkin有限元法(GFEM)中发生的伪振荡现象,在时间步长较大的情况下仍然可以得到光滑无振荡的解.而且,最小二乘法产生的求解系数矩阵是对称正定的,与GFEM中的系数矩阵相比,仅需要存储一半的非零系数,可以应用许多高效的迭代求解方法进行求解.为了检验模型,本文研究了一维吸收散射性介质内瞬态辐射传输问题,其结果与蒙特卡洛法(MCM)和积分模型法(IE)的结果进行了比较,结果证实:本文的方法可以精确、高效地模拟参与性介质内的瞬态辐射传输.     

AFM nanooxidation process - Technology perspective for mesoscopic structures

We study the technology of local anodic oxidation (LAO) by the AFM tip applied to semiconductor heterostructures with two-dimensional electron gas. The aim is to design mesoscopic rings with persistent current and one subband occupied. For this purpose the need is to oxidize narrow lines that represent energy barriers high enough. Using the electrostatic model, we explain the electric field distribution in the system tip-sample just before LAO starts. We study the influence of the conductivity of the cap layer on LAO and explain the origin of the saddle-like profile lines, observed in the experiment. Using Monte Carlo simulation we show that the carrier redistribution in the system with LAO energy barriers effectively lowers the barrier height. In the experimental part we have grown InGaP/AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructures by organometalic vapor phase epitaxy with an active layer only 31 nm below the surface. We have prepared oxide lines on the heterostructures by LAO and characterized them by the temperature-dependent transport measurement.     

Stochastic radiative transfer model for mixture of discontinuous vegetation canopies

Modeling of the radiation regime of a mixture of vegetation species is a fundamental problem of the Earth's land remote sensing and climate applications. The major existing approaches, including the linear mixture model and the turbid medium (TM) mixture radiative transfer model, provide only an approximate solution to this problem. In this study, we developed the stochastic mixture radiative transfer (SMRT) model, a mathematically exact tool to evaluate radiation regime in a natural canopy with spatially varying optical properties, that is, canopy, which exhibits a structured mixture of vegetation species and gaps. The model solves for the radiation quantities, direct input to the remote sensing/climate applications: mean radiation fluxes over whole mixture and over individual species. The canopy structure is parameterized in the SMRT model in terms of two stochastic moments: the probability of finding species and the conditional pair-correlation of species. The second moment is responsible for the 3D radiation effects, namely, radiation streaming through gaps without interaction with vegetation and variation of the radiation fluxes between different species. We performed analytical and numerical analysis of the radiation effects, simulated with the SMRT model for the three cases of canopy structure: (a) non-ordered mixture of species and gaps (TM); (b) ordered mixture of species without gaps; and (c) ordered mixture of species with gaps. The analysis indicates that the variation of radiation fluxes between different species is proportional to the variation of species optical properties (leaf albedo, density of foliage, etc.) Gaps introduce significant disturbance to the radiation regime in the canopy as their optical properties constitute major contrast to those of any vegetation species. The SMRT model resolves deficiencies of the major existing mixture models: ignorance of species radiation coupling via multiple scattering of photons (the linear mixture model) or overestimation of this coupling due to neglecting spatial clumping of species (the TM approach). Thus, based on the former experience with mixture modeling, this study establishes an advanced theoretical basis for future mixture applications.     

The internal strain of three-dimensional braided composites with co-braided FBG sensors

The performance analysis of three-dimensional (3-D) braided composites is made difficult by their complex and interlacing structure, and is still under development. To get complete first-hand data on the material parameters of these composites, co-braided optical fiber sensors (OFS) can be used to measure the internal strain. This information is helpful for subsequent stiffness predictions and failure analysis. This paper introduces a method of incorporating OFS into braided composites, and establishes a constitutive theoretical model for the hybrid material. Experiments are conducted to measure the internal strain of specimens under tension, and the results are compared to theoretical predictions.
