Propagation of an electromagnetic soliton in an anisotropic biquadratic ferromagnetic medium

Information storage technology based on anisotropic ferromagnets with sufficiently high magneto-optical effects has received much attention in recent years.Magneto-optical recording combines the merits of magnetic and optical techniques.We investigate the magneto-optical effects on a biquadratic ferromagnet and show that the dynamics of the system are governed by a perturbed nonlinear Schro¨dinger equation.The evolutions of amplitude and velocity of the soliton are found to be time independent,thereby admitting the lossless propagation of the electromagnetic soliton in the medium,which may have potential applications in soliton based optical communication systems.We also exploit the role of perturbation,which has a significant impact on the propagation of an electromagnetic soliton.     

Nano-scale gap filling and mechanism of deposit-etch-deposit process for phase-change material

Ge2Sb2Te5 gap filling is one of the key processes for phase-change random access memory manufacture.Physical vapor deposition is the mainstream method of Ge2Sb2Te5 film deposition due to its advantages of film quality,purity,and accurate composition control.However,the conventional physical vapor deposition process cannot meet the gapfilling requirement with the critical device dimension scaling down to 90 nm or below.In this study,we find that the deposit-etch-deposit process shows better gap-filling capability and scalability than the single-step deposition process,especially at the nano-scale critical dimension.The gap-filling mechanism of the deposit-etch-deposit process was briefly discussed.We also find that re-deposition of phase-change material from via the sidewall to via the bottom by argon ion bombardment during the etch step was a key ingredient for the final good gap filling.We achieve void-free gap filling of phase-change material on the 45-nm via the two-cycle deposit-etch-deposit process.We gain a rather comprehensive insight into the mechanism of deposit-etch-deposit process and propose a potential gap-filling solution for over 45-nm technology nodes for phase-change random access memory.

Dynamic stability of parametrically-excited linear resonant beams under periodic axial force

The parametric dynamic stability of resonant beams with various parameters under periodic axial force is studied.It is assumed that the theoretical formulations are based on Euler-Bernoulli beam theory.The governing equations of motion are derived by using the Rayleigh-Ritz method and transformed into Mathieu equations,which are formed to determine the stability criterion and stability regions for parametricallyexcited linear resonant beams.An improved stability criterion is obtained using periodic Lyapunov functions.The boundary points on the stable regions are determined by using a small parameter perturbation method.Numerical results and discussion are presented to highlight the effects of beam length,axial force and damped coefficient on the stability criterion and stability regions.While some stability rules are easy to anticipate,we draw some conclusions:with the increase of damped coefficient,stable regions arise;with the decrease of beam length,the conditions of the damped coefficient arise instead.These conclusions can provide a reference for the robust design of parametricallyexcited linear resonant sensors.     

Spectral properties of a ■-configuration atom driven by a pair of bichromatic fields

The absorption spectrum and the incoherent fluorescence spectrum of the lower transition in an ■-configuration threelevel atomic system driven by a pair of bichromatic fields is investigated. The transmission of the absorption profile from a multipeaked feature to a single-peak feature is identified. Adjusting the relative phase between the two driving fields, the splitting effects of the spectral peaks occur both in the fluorescence and the absorption spectra. Furthermore, phase modulating can dramatically lead to a great suppression of the amplitudes of the whole absorption spectrum. Physically, this effect is attributed to the phase-sensitive nature of the populations and coherence between the atomic states of the system.     

Efficient entanglement purification in quantum repeaters

We present an efficient entanglement purification protocol(EPP) with controlled-not(CNOT) gates and linear optics.With the CNOT gates,our EPP can reach a higher fidelity than the conventional one.Moreover,it does not require the fidelity of the initial mixed state to satisfy F > 1/2.If the initial state is not entangled,it still can be purified.With the linear optics,this protocol can get pure maximally entangled pairs with some probabilities.Meanwhile,it can be used to purify the entanglement between the atomic ensembles in distant locations.This protocol may be useful in long-distance quantum communication.     

Induced modification of the geometric phase of a qubit coupled to an XY spin chain by Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction

We consider a qubit symmetrically and transversely coupled to an XY spin chain with Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya(DM) interaction in the presence of a transverse magnetic field.An analytical expression for the geometric phase of the qubit is obtained in the weak coupling limit.We find that the modification of the geometrical phase induced by the spin chain environment is greatly enhanced by DM interaction in the weak coupling limit around the quantum phase transition point of the spin chain.     

Complete Bell-state analysis for a single-photon hybrid entangled state

We propose a scheme capable of performing complete Bell-state analysis for a single-photon hybrid entangled state.Our single-photon state is encoded in both polarization and frequency degrees of freedom.The setup of the scheme is composed of polarizing beam splitters,half wave plates,frequency shifters,and independent wavelength division multiplexers,which are feasible using current technology.We also show that with this setup we can perform complete two-photon Bell-state analysis schemes for polarization degrees of freedom.Moreover,it can also be used to perform the teleportation scheme between different degrees of freedom.This setup may allow extensive applications in current quantum communications.
