La_2Cu_(1-x)V_xO_(4+δ)(0≤x≤0.08)的晶体结构及电输运性质

本文研究了La2Cu1-xVxOv+δ(0≤x≤0.08)的结构及电输运性质.用Rietveld方法对所有样品的X射线衍射谱进行了拟合.结果表明,全部样品都具有正交对称性,晶胞参数随掺杂量的增加几乎没有变化.随着V掺杂量增加到0.08,而La2Cu1-xVxO4+δ中过量氧的平均值从0.006增加到0.007.没有掺杂的样品由于氧过量而存在相分离状态,体系中存在超导相与绝缘相的竞争相互作用.随着V掺杂量增加,超导相受到破坏,我们认为,V掺杂对超导电性抑制的原因可能是载流子浓度的减少和载流子的局域化所致.

Effect of Fabry‐Perot resonances in disordered one‐dimensional array of alternating dielectric bi‐layers

We study numerically and analytically the role of Fabry‐Perot resonances in the transmission through a one‐dimensional finite array formed by two alternating dielectric slabs. The disorder consists in varying randomly the width of one type of layers while keeping constant the width of the other type. Our numerical simulations show that localization is strongly inhibited in a wide neighborhood of the Fabry‐Perot resonances. Comparison of our numerical results with an analytical expression for the average transmission, derived for weak disorder and finite number of cells, reveals that such expression works well even for medium disorder up to a certain frequency. Our results are valid for photonic and phononic one‐dimensional disordered crystals, as well as for semiconductor superlattices.     

Purely electronic transport and localization in the Bose glass

We discuss transport and localization properties on the insulating side of the disorder dominated superconductor‐insulator transition, described in terms of the dirty boson model. Analyzing the spectral properties of the interacting bosons in the absence of phonons, we argue that the Bose glass phase admits three distinct regimes. For strongest disorder the boson system is a fully localized, perfect insulator at any temperature. At smaller disorder, only the low temperature phase exhibits perfect insulation while delocalization takes place above a finite temperature. We argue that a third phase must intervene between these perfect insulators and the superconductor. This conducting Bose glass phase is characterized by a mobility edge in the many body spectrum, located at finite energy above the ground state. In this insulating regime purely electronically activated transport occurs, with a conductivity following an Arrhenius law at asymptotically low temperatures, while a tendency to superactivation is predicted at higher T. These predictions are in good agreement with recent transport experiments in highly disordered films of superconducting materials.     

Chamber Structure for Some Equivariant Relative Gromov–Witten Invariants of ℙ<Superscript>1</Superscript> in Genus 0

In this paper, we study genus 0 equivariant relative Gromov-Witten invariants of P¹ whose corresponding relative stable maps are totally ramified over one point. For fixed number of marked points, we show that such invariants are piecewise polynomials in some parameter space. The parameter space can then be divided into polynomial domains, called chambers. We determine the difference of polynomials between two neighbouring chambers. In some special chamber, which we called the totally negative chamber, we show that such a polynomial can be expressed in a simple way. The chamber structure here shares some similarities to that of double Hurwitz numbers.     

Towards Optimal Disorder in Gold Nanosponges for Long‐Lived Localized Plasmonic Modes

The potential of disorder to confine and enhance electromagnetic fields is well known and localized fields in turn can be used for non‐linear optical sensing and for studying quantum optics. Recently, nanoporous gold nanoparticles (nanosponges) were shown to support highly localized long‐lived plasmonic modes in the infrared spectral range. In this paper, we take first steps towards tailoring the disorder for optimal field localization and enhancement by calculating extinction and near‐field properties for different filling fractions and correlation lengths. We find that the filling fraction has not only a large effect on the fundamental dipolar surface‐plasmon resonance of the nanoparticle, but also on the frequency range in which localized modes of plasmonic nature occur. The influence of the correlation length is more subtle but is seen to influence the coupling between localized and far‐field modes as well. We briefly discuss first results on details of the localization process, which takes place on the same length scale as the typical structure size, so a simple cavity‐resonance picture cannot account for the relatively low frequency of the modes.     

Anomalous Minimum and Scaling Behavior of Localization Length Near an Isolated Flat Band

Using one‐dimensional tight‐binding lattices and an analytical expression based on the Green's matrix, we show that anomalous minimum of the localization length near an isolated flat band, previously found for evanescent waves in a defect‐free photonic crystal waveguide, is a generic feature and exists in the Anderson regime as well, i.e., in the presence of disorder. Our finding reveals a scaling behavior of the localization length in terms of the disorder strength, as well as a summation rule of the inverse localization length in terms of the density of states in different bands. Most interestingly, the latter indicates the possibility of having two localization minima inside a band gap, if this band gap is formed by two flat bands such as in a double‐sided Lieb lattice.     

Study of vertical sound image control with parametric loudspeakers

A parametric loudspeaker utilizes nonlinearity of a medium and is known as a super-directive loudspeaker. In this paper, the sound localization in the vertical direction using the upper and lower parametric loudspeakers is confirmed by listening tests and physical measurements. The differences in levels between the upper and lower parametric loudspeakers are varied as a parameter. The direction of sound localization in the vertical plane can be controlled not only when the acoustical axis is set to the right ear but also when it is set to at 5 deg to the right of the right ear. The effect of the level difference between the upper and lower loudspeakers is weaker than the differences observed when using ordinary loudspeakers. We obtained interesting characteristics of the left-right sound localization in the horizontal plane with the upper and lower parametric loudspeakers in the vertical plane. It is found that by setting the parametric loudspeaker at the right ear (that is, the horizontal angle of a listener to it is only 3 deg to the right), the direction of sound localization in the horizontal plane moved approximately 10 deg to the right. Moreover, by setting the parametric loudspeaker 5 deg to the right, the direction of sound localization moves approximately 20 deg to the right. The ILD (Interaural Level Difference) using a dummy head is calculated from the measured left and right sound signals. It is determined that ILDs of the parametric loudspeaker are larger than those of the ordinary loudspeaker. A simple geometrical acoustic model is introduced and analyzed. The analysis helps to explain the measured characteristics.
