Temperature dependence of the plastic scintillator detector for DAMPE

The Plastic Scintillator Detector(PSD) is one of the main sub-detectors in the DArk Matter Particle Explorer(DAMPE) project. It will be operated over a large temperature range from -10 to 30, so the temperature effect of the whole detection system should be studied in detail. The temperature dependence of the PSD system is mainly contributed by the three parts: the plastic scintillator bar, the photomultiplier tube(PMT), and the Front End Electronics(FEE). These three parts have been studied in detail and the contribution of each part has been obtained and discussed. The temperature coefficient of the PMT is -0.320(±0.033)%/, and the coefficient of the plastic scintillator bar is -0.036(±0.038)%/. This result means that after subtracting the FEE pedestal, the variation of the signal amplitude of the PMT-scintillator system due to temperature mainly comes from the PMT,and the plastic scintillator bar is not sensitive to temperature over the operating range. Since the temperature effect cannot be ignored, the temperature dependence of the whole PSD has been also studied and a correction has been made to minimize this effect. The correction result shows that the effect of temperature on the signal amplitude of the PSD system can be suppressed.

The effect of substrate doping on the flatband and threshold voltages of a strained-Si pMOSFET

The effect of substrate doping on the flatband and threshold voltages of a strained-Si/SiGe p metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor(pMOSFET) has been studied.By physically deriving the models of the flatband and threshold voltages,which have been validated by numerical simulation and experimental data,the shift in the plateau from the inversion region to the accumulation region as the substrate doping increases has been explained.The proposed model can provide a valuable reference to the designers of strained-Si devices and has been implemented in software for extracting the parameters of a strained-Si MOSFET.     

Measurement of cosmic ray flux in the China JinPing underground laboratory

The China JinPing underground Laboratory (CJPL) is the deepest underground laboratory running in the world at present. In such a deep underground laboratory, the cosmic ray flux is a very important and necessary parameter for rare-event experiments. A plastic scintillator telescope system has been set up to measure the cosmic ray flux. The performance of the telescope system has been studied using the cosmic rays on the ground laboratory near the CJPL. Based on the underground experimental data taken from November 2010 to December 2011 in the CJPL, which has an effective live time of 171 days, the cosmic ray muon flux in the CJPL is measured to be (2.0±0.4)×10-10/(cm2 ·s). The ultra-low cosmic ray background guarantees an ideal environment for dark matter experiments at the CJPL.     

Measurements of pressure induced self-broadening and frequency shift coefficients of methane R9 manifold of 2v3 band

An external-cavity diode laser (ECDL) has been used to investigate pressure-induced self-broadening as well as frequency shift of 2v3 band R9 manifold of methane. A phase sensitivity detection technology has been employed to determine the pressure induced frequency shift coefficient, however, which is obtained by line shape analyses of the recorded absorption spectrum. F1 and F2 unresolved double lines near 6105.626 cm-1 were measured as an object because they are often used to the high sensitivity detection of trace methane. The results show that the self-broadening and pressure induced frequency shift coefficients are 0.0232±0.003 and 0.0055±0.0007 MHz/Pa, respectively.     

Simulations of Effect of High-Index Materials on Highly Birefringent Photonic Crystal Fibres

Novel highly birefringent photonic bandgap fibres （PBGFs） are obtained by filling of a high index material in the air holes of total internal reflection birefringent photonic crystal fibres. The effect of the filling high index material on the transmission characteristics has been theoretically investigated. The photonic bandgap has been achieved by using plane-wave method. Moreover, the phase and group modal birefringence have been studied by a full-vector finite-element method. Numerical results show that very high group and phase modal birefringence with magnitude of order of 10^-2 and 10^-3 has been respectively acquired, which is much higher than those of the non-filled fibres. Furthermore, strong coupling between surface modes and the fundamental modes has been found in the bandgap of the birefringent PBGFs, whose effect on the birefringence and confinement loss has also been discussed.

Reflecting a single attosecond pulse by using periodic Mo/Si multilayer mirrors with different layers

The reflecting of a single attosecond pulse from a periodic Mo/Si multilayer was investigated. By changing the number of bi-layers, the periodic multilayer showed greatly different spectral and temporal responses of the attosecond pulse reflection, which has been discussed in detail in this paper. The capability of attosecond pulse reflection of the periodic multilayers with different bi-layer numbers has been evaluated using suitable temporal parameters. In addition, the condition for obtaining high-efficiency reflected pulses has been analyzed by comparing the pulse responses of the periodic multilayer with different layers. The transfer-matrix method together with the fast Fourier transform has been used in our simulation.     

Strong violations of locality by testing Bell's inequality with improved entangled-photon systems

Bell's theorem states that quantum mechanics cannot be accounted for by any local theory. One of the examples is the existence of quantum non-locality is essentially violated by the local Bell's inequality. Therefore, the violation of Bell's inequality(BI) has been regarded as one of the robust evidences of quantum mechanics. Until now, BI has been tested by many experiments, but the maximal violation(i.e., Cirel'son limit) has never been achieved. By improving the design of entangled sources and optimizing the measurement settings, in this work we report the stronger violations of the Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt(CHSH)-type Bell's inequality. The biggest value of Bell's function in our experiment reaches √to a significant one: S = 2.772 ± 0.063, approaching to the so-called Cirel'son limit in which the Bell function value is S = 22.Further improvement is possible by optimizing the entangled-photon sources.

Magnetic structure of the compensated ferromagnet-multiferroic interface

The magnetic structure of the compensated ferromagnet-multiferroic interface has been considered. The law governing the decrease of distortions of magnetic order parameters with increasing distance from the interface has been found.

Viscosity and electric properties of water aerosols

The flow of water mist in a narrow duct has been studied experimentally. The profile of the velocity of drops has been measured, and the viscosity of the mist has been calculated using the Navier–Stokes equation. It has been found that at low gradients of the rate of shear the viscosity of the mist can exceed that of clean air by tens and even hundreds of times. The electric charge of the drops has been measured. It has been found that the viscosity of the mist differs from that of clean air at gradients of the rate of shear that are less than the frequency of the establishment of electric equilibrium between the drops. A comparative analysis of the viscosities of the mist and a drop cluster has been carried out, and the dependence of the viscosity of the water aerosol on the radius and the charge of the drops has been predicted. The possible role of aerosols that contain submicron drops in the known “clear air turbulence” problem has been shown.
