Shot Noise in Aharonov-Casher Rings

We investigate the shot noise of electron transport through an Aharonov-Casher ring subject to the Rashba spin-orbit coupling （SOC）. Analytic expressions for the coefficients of reflection and transmission are derived by using the Griffith boundary conditions. For this kind of SOC, the ballistic transport of electrons can be analyzed as two independent spin channels, and both of them have the same transmission and reflection coefficients. The dependences of shot noise and Landauer-Biittiker conductance on controllable factors, including the strength of Rashba SOC, the asymmetrical angle of lead-connection positions, the radius of the rings, and the wave vector （or energy） of the incident Fermi electrons, are explicitly described by some new combined parameters. The ways that the shot noise and conductance vary with Rashba SOC and with asymmetrical angle are demonstrated by numerical simulations, respectively. It is revealed that the shot noise reaches its maximum for the particular situation of half transmission and half reflection and zero shot noise occurs at conductance maxima.     

Investigation of a Unified Chaotic System and Its Synchronization by Simulations*

We investigate a unified chaotic system and its synchronization including feedback synchronization and adaptive synchronization by numerical simulations. We propose a new dynamical quantity denoted by K, which connects adaptive synchronization and feedback synchronization, to analyze synchronization schemes. We find that K can estimate the smallest coupling strength for a unified chaotic system whether it is complete feedback or one-sided feedback. Based on the previous work, we also give a new dynamical method to compute the leading Lyapunov exponent.     

Coupled THz Waveguide Utilizing Surface Plasmon Polaritons on Thin Dielectric Slab Sandwiched between Two Corrugated Metallic Claddings

We present a comprehensive experimental study of terahertz （THz） wave propagation utilizing surface plasmon polaritons （SPPs） on the interfaces of a thin dielectric core layer sandwiched between two corrugated metallic claddings. THz wave impinges on the structured surfaces at normal incidence. Long-lasting oscillation propagation features are observed in the temporal waveform after traveling through the periodic arrays. The enhanced THz transmission can be achieved due to the coupling between incident waves to SPPs at the bottom and top interfaces. The finite element method is used to simulate the field distribution and the transmission mode in the waveguide. The hybrid waveguide with low absorption has great potential applications in THz integrated devices.     

Temperature- and Frequency-Dependent Dielectric Properties of La1.5Sr0.5NiO4-δ

We report the temperature-dependent resistivity and dielectric function （1 kHz- 3 MHz） of a charge ordering system La1.5Sr0.5NiO4-δ. The primary data of ac impedance was measured by a four-terminal pair arrangement. Above 180K, the resistivity is independent of frequency. At lower temperatures, the dielectric function couM not be fitted by a Debye model with a single relaxation time, it should have a distribution. At T = 130 K, there is a sudden increase in the p - T relation, meanwhile an anomaly dielectric response occurs on the temperature dependant dielectric spectrum in the whole measured frequency range, in which the dielectric constant has a high value even at high frequency region. Our analysis suggests that the current system would be more consistent with the Zener polaron model.     

Three-Dimensional Mode Coupling around a Conical Seamount and the Use of Random Discretization

Three-dimensional mode coupling around a conical seamount in an ocean waveguide is studied. It is shown that strong mode coupling occurs at the edge of a conical seamount for the incident normal modes with significant amplitudes below the top of the seamount. Therefore, mode coupling is critical for the investigation of the acoustic field around a seamount. In addition, we suggest the use of random discretization for representing smoothly varying bathymetry. For the use of uniform discretization, when the horizontal step size is greater than half of the wavelength, artificial diffraction lobes appear due to coherent backscatter. However, by using the random discretization scheme instead, such artificial diffraction lobes are diffused, resulting in a faster convergence rate.     

Effects of Depolarization Field and Interfacial Coupling on the Polarization of Ferroelectric Bilayers

A ferroelectric bilayer model considering depolarization field and interfacial coupling is proposed and the expression of the depolarization field is derived. The spatial profiles of spontaneous polarization and hysteresis loops are calculated using the numerical method with and without considering the depolarization field. The effects of the depolarization field and interfacial coupling on the polarization of second-order ferroelectric bilayers are studied systematically. When interfacial coupling is ferroelectric coupling, the interface spontaneous polarization increases and the area of hysteresis loop becomes larger with increasing coupling. When interfacial coupling is antiferroelectric coupling, the depolarization field makes the central loop become smaller and the shape of the hysteresis loop becomes steep. Meanwhile, as interfacial coupling increases, the outer loops stretch further out horizontally and the size of the central loop widens.     

Cluster Consensus of Nonlinearly Coupled Multi-Agent Systems in Directed Graphs

We investigate the cluster consensus problem in directed networks of nonlinearly coupled multi-agent systems by using pinning control. Depending on the community structure generated by the group partition of the underlying digraph, various clusters can be made coherently independent by applying feedback injections to a fraction of the agents. Sufficient conditions for cluster consensus are obtained using algebraic graph theory and matrix theory and some simulations results are included to illustrate the method.

ICP-OES法测定穿心莲药材中6种重金属元素溶出特性的研究

以电感耦合等离子体发射光谱法(ICP-OES)同时测定了中药穿心莲中的As,Ba,Cd,Cr,Cu,Pb等6种重金属元素,方法相对标准偏差2.1%~4.6%,回收率92.0%~103.2%,灵敏度高、简单、准确可靠。考察了采用热回流提取、浸泡提取、超声辅助提取等不同提取方法和提取溶剂时,上述6种元素的溶出情况。结果表明,实验所用穿心莲药材中Ba的含量最高,其次为Cu和Cr,而As,Pb,Cd在药材中含量相对较低。随着提取溶剂中乙醇含量升高,Ba的溶出减少,而Cu、Cr的溶出增加,Cd在酸性溶液中溶出最多;提取方法则以冷浸法溶出重金属元素最少,使用纯水和碱水的热回流提取重金属元素溶出相对较多。以上差异可能与这些元素在药材中的存在形态有关。
