Effect of the defect on the focusing in a two-dimensional photonic-crystal-based flat lens

We have investigated in detail the influence of defect on the focusing of electromagnetic waves in a two-dimensional photonic-crystal flat lens by using the finite-difference time-domain method. The result shows that many focusings can be observed at the symmetrical positions when a defect is introduced into the lens. Furthermore, the wave-guides in the lens can confine the transmission wave effectively and improve the quality of the focusing.     

Interaction of Au nanowires with impurities

We report the results of our first-principles studies of the interaction between an infinite monoatomic gold nanowire and a carbon-monoxide molecule. We show that the gold monoatomic nanowire is capable of absorbing the CO molecule at the distances of about 1.8 ? and forms a bond with the carbon atom. Further, we find that dissociation of the CO molecule as the source of gold nanowire contamination with carbon, which is widely discussed in literature as the possible reason for the striking stability of gold nanowires under stretching, is thermodynamically unfavored.

The structure of blocks

In this paper, we focus on the structure of p-blocks with defect group satisfying some special condition. These special conditions include: two elements of the defect group are conjugate to each other in defect D if and only if they are conjugate to each other in G; the number of conjugacy classes whose p-part is contained in P by conjugacy is not larger than ∣P∣     

The Design and Implementation of Usable ODE Software

In the last decade it has become standard for students and researchers to be introduced to state-of-the-art numerical software through a problem solving environment (PSE) rather than through the use of scientific libraries callable from a high level language such as Fortran or C. In this paper we will identify the constraints and implications that this imposes on the ODE software we investigate and develop. In particular, the way a numerical solution is displayed and viewed by a user dictates that new measures of performance and quality must be adopted. We will use the MATLAB environment and ODE software for initial value problems, boundary value problems and delay problems to illustrate the issues that arise and the progress that has been made. One of the major implications is the expectation that accurate approximations at off-mesh points must be provided. Traditional numerical methods for ODEs have produced approximations to the underlying solution on an associated discrete, adaptively chosen mesh. In recent years it has become common for the ODE software to also deliver approximations at off-mesh values of the independent variable. Such a feature can be extremely valuable in applications and leads to new measures of quality and performance which are more meaningful to users and more consistently interpreted and implemented in contemporary ODE software. Numerical examples of the robust and reliable behaviour of such software will be presented and the cost/reliability trade-offs that arise will be quantified.     

Perturbations in the Spectra of the Rydberg Series of a Silver Atom

The main series of a silver atom with n = 5–70 are investigated. Perturbations of the np ² P _1/2,3/2 states with n = 10 and 17 caused by interaction with the selfionization 4d5s5p ⁴ P _1/2,3/2 states are detected. Energies of the selfionization states are determined.     

Effect of microstructure on the coercivity of HDDR Nd-Fe-B permanent magnetic alloy

The effect of the grain boundary microstructure on the anisotropy and coercivity was investigated in an HDDR Nd-Fe-B permanent magnetic alloy. Considering the special microstructure of its magnetic powder grain, an anisotropic theoretical model influenced simultaneously by the structure defect at the grain boundary and the exchange coupling interaction was put forward. The variations of the structure defect factors based on the nucleation and pinning mechanism with 2r ₀/lex (where r ₀ and lex are the defect thickness and the length of exchange coupling, respectively) were calculated. The results show that the coercivity mechanism of an HDDR Nd-Fe-B permanent magnetic alloy is greatly related to its microstructure defect at the grain boundary. For a fixed lex, when 2r ₀/lex < 1.67, the coercivity is controlled by the pinning mechanism; when 2r ₀/lex > 1.67, it is determined by the nucleation mechanism. The coercivity reaches the maximum when 2r ₀/lex = 1.67. The calculation result is consistent well with the experimental result given by Morimoto et al.

Localized defects in classical one-dimensional models

Several aspects of localized defects in the Frenkel-Kontorova, classicalXY chain and analogous models with a finite range of interactions are discussed from a general point of view. Precise definitions are given for defect phase shifts (charges) and for creation, pinning, and interaction energies. Corresponding definitions are also provided for interfaces (localized regions separating two phases). For the nearest-neighbor Frenkel-Kontorova model, the various defect energies are related to areas enclosed by contours joining heteroclinic points of the area-preserving map generated by the conditions of mechanical equilibrium.
