白光光源光谱对白光干涉信号的影响

传统白光光源一般由一个纯高斯函数来进行模拟,通过改变中心波长和带宽来调节干涉信号.本文分别利用高斯模型和洛伦兹模型来讨论白光干涉信号,得出中心波长与相干长度的比值越大,零级条纹可见性越高,以及高斯模型的可靠范围.鉴于现代白光光源与传统光源不同,以发光二极管(LED)为例,模拟研究现代白光光源对白光干涉信号的影响.利用洛伦兹模型模拟白色LED光源时干涉信号存在凹陷,通过合理调整LED拟合光峰值间的距离降低凹陷对零级条纹的影响,以期得到在实际应用中干涉特性较优的白光光源光谱.     

Effect of P impurity on mechanical properties of NiAl Σ5 grain boundary:From perspectives of stress and energy

In this paper, we employ the first-principle total energy method to investigate the effect of P impurity on mechanical properties of NiAl grain boundary(GB). According to "energy", the segregation of P atom in NiAlΣ5 GB reduces the cleavage energy and embrittlement potential, demonstrating that P impurity embrittles NiAlΣ5 GB. The first-principle computational tensile test is conducted to determine the theoretical tensile strength of NiAlΣ5 GB. It is demonstrated that the maximum ideal tensile strength of NiAlΣ5 GB with P atom segregation is 144.5 GPa, which is lower than that of the pure NiAlΣ5 GB(164.7 GPa). It is indicated that the segregation of P weakens the theoretical strength of NiAlΣ5 GB.The analysis of atomic configuration shows that the GB fracture is caused by the interfacial bond breaking. Moreover, P is identified to weaken the interactions between Al–Al bonds and enhance Ni–Ni bonds.     

Multi-ion Mach–Zehnder interferometer with artificial nonlinear interactions

We propose a method to implement a Mach-Zehnder interferometry based upon a string of trapped ions with artificial nonlinear interactions. By manipulating the coupling strength between two involved internal states of the ions, we could achieve the beam splitting/recombination with NOON states. Using current techniques for manipulating trapped ions, we discuss the experimental feasibility of our scheme and analyze some undesired uncertainty under realistic experimental environment.
