Dark and Bright Solitons of Extraordinary Waves in Ferromagnetic Systems

It is shown that the slowly varying amplitudes of both high and low frequency extraordinary waves propagating perpendicular to the dc magnetic field in ferromagnetic systems are described by the nonlinear SchrEdinger equation. The extraordinary waves are modulationally stable (unstable) and may evolve as dark (bright) solitons as the frequency ω satisfies ω₀ < ω < ω_b or ω > ω₁(0 < ω < ω₀ or ω_a ≤ ω < ω₁), where ω_a, ω_b, ω₀ and w₁ are given in the text.     

Oscillating two-stream instability of a plasma wave in a plasmachannel

A long wavelength Langmuir wave (ω₀, k₀), propagating through a parabolic plasma density channel, can decay into a low-frequency mode (ω,k&oarr;) and two short wavelength Langmuir wave sidebands (ν_1,2,k&oarr;_1,2 ), via two-stream instability where ω_1,2=ω∓ω₀ and k&oarr;_1,2=k&oarr;∓k&oarr;₀. Depending on the mode number n, the growth rate maximizes in the range γ_max≃0.1ω_pi-0.4ω_pi for the range of k from 0.1(ω_pi/c_s) to 0.2(ω_pi/c_x) for ν₀~ν_th where ν₀ and ν_th are the oscillatory and thermal velocities of electrons, ω_pi is the ion plasma frequency on the axis, and c_s is the sound speed. The growth rate increases with the width a of the plasma density channel. It decreases with the mode number. The instability may be relevant to laser based charged particle accelerators     

Second harmonic stimulated Raman scattering of laser radiation in aplasma

A high-power linearly polarized laser propagating through a plasma produces oscillatory electron velocity at the second harmonic due to-the ν&oarr;×B&oarr; force, This velocity couples a Langmuir wave (ω, k&oarr;) and an electromagnetic wave (ω₁, k&oarr;₁), where ω₁=ω-2ω₀ , k-2k&oarr;₀ and ω₀, k&oarr;₀ are frequency and wavenumber of the laser pump, causing second harmonic Raman scattering. The growth rate is maximum for side scattering. This process can occur above the quarter critical density, unlike the first harmonic stimulated Raman scattering which occurs below the quarter critical density

Tunable two-axis spin model and spin squeezing in two cavities

Multi-mode cavities have now attracted much attention both experimentally and theoretically. In this paper, inspired by recent experiments of cavity-assisted Raman transitions, we realize a two-axis spin Hamiltonian H = q(J_x~2+ χJ_y~2) + ω_0J_z in two cavities. This realized Hamiltonian has a distinct property that all parameters can be tuned independently. For proper parameters, the well-studied one- and two-axis twisting Hamiltonians are recovered, and the scaling of N~(-1) of the maximal squeezing factor can occur naturally. On the other hand, in the two-axis twisting Hamiltonian, spin squeezing is usually reduced when increasing the atomic resonant frequency ω_0. Surprisingly, we find that by combining with the dimensionless parameter χ(-1), this atomic resonant frequency ω_0 can enhance spin squeezing greatly. These results are beneficial for achieving the required spin squeezing in experiments.     

WKB solution for wave propagation in a time-varying magnetoplasmamedium: longitudinal propagation

The interaction of a right circularly polarized electromagnetic wave of frequency ω₀ with a switched-on-time-varying plasma medium, in the presence of a static magnetic field, is considered. Longitudinal propagation is assumed and ion motion is neglected. The electron density is assumed to vary slowly with time, and the solution is obtained through a WKB approximation. The main effect of switching the time-varying medium is the splitting of the original (incident) wave of frequency ω₀ into three new waves with time-varying frequencies. An exponentially increasing electron density profile is considered to illustrate the solution. The distinguishing feature of the presence of the static magnetic field is the creation of the third wave. The initial value of the instantaneous frequency ω₃ of this wave is equal to the gyrofrequency ω_b, and the final value depends on ω_b, ω₀, and the final value of the plasma frequency. ω₃ decreases with time for the profile under consideration     

垂直载荷下颗粒物质的声波探测和非线性响应

对于玻璃珠组成的颗粒介质样品,本文测量了横波和纵波声速,同时分析了剪切模量(G)与体积模量(B)的比值(G/B)随压强的变化规律.结果表明,在低压强下,颗粒体系的纵波声速(C_L)明显大于横波声速(c_T),且体系的CL,CT及G/B均随压强p变化呈幂律标度,即CL∝p~(0.3817),CT∝p~(0.2809)G/B∝p~(-0.4539),幂指数与文献[1]中预言的-1/2非常接近,暗示在我们实验压强范围内的颗粒样品处于L玻璃状态.此外,本文还利用快速傅里叶变换法测量了玻璃珠样品中的声学衰减特性及二阶谐波随压强的变化,发现:纵波声衰减系数(α)、接收端二倍频振幅(μ_(2ω))与基频振幅(μ_(1ω))平方的比值(μ_(2ω)/μ_(1ω)~2)均随压强的增大而幂率减小,分别为α∝p~-(-0.1879),和μ_(2ω)/μ_(1ω)~2∝p~(-0.866).     

On the effect of long-wavelength electron plasma waves onlarge-angle stimulated Raman scattering of short laser pulse in plasmas

Spectral features of a large-angle stimulated Raman scattering (LA SRS) of a short electromagnetic pulse in an underdense plasma, which are caused by the presence in a plasma of a given linear long-wavelength electron plasma wave (LW EPW), are investigated. It is shown that the LW EPW, whose phase velocity coincides with a group velocity of a pulse and a density perturbation normalized to a background electron density δn_LW/n₀ exceeds the ratio of the electron plasma frequency to the laser frequency ω_pe/ω₀ suppresses the well-known Stokes branch of the weakly coupled LA SRS. Under the same condition, the anti-Stokes band appears in the spectrum of the scattered radiation. Variation of a scattering angle and an electron temperature do not significantly modify qualitative features of the effect. In the case of strongly coupled LA SRS, the maximum of the increment is decreased by nearly one-half for δn_LW/n₀~(a₀ω_pe /ω₀)^2/3≫ω_pe /ω₀, where a₀ is an amplitude of an electron quiver velocity in the laser field normalized to a speed of light c, and it decreases further with an increase in plasma density perturbation in LW EPW     

Cold-Fluid Analysis of the Space-Charge Effects in an Electromagnetically Pumped Free-Electron Laser with an Axial-Guide Magnetic Field

The space-charge effects are analysed and five kinds of fluid waves are obtained in the e-beam density and the axial-current density for an electromagnetically pumped free-electron laser with an axial-guide magnetic field by using the cold-fluid theory. To enhance the gain, the guide field Bo must be in this regime: -2(ω_υ + cβ_x0k_ω) < Ω < -(ω_υ + cβ_x0k_ω), where Ω₀ = eB₀/mr₀ and ω_υ(k_ω) is the frequency (wave number) of the wiggler.     

A Compact Exponential Operator for Generating Rotating and Squeezing Transformations

We point out that the compact exponential operator V≡exp[-i(λ₁Q²-λ₂P²)/2] (where λ₁, λ₂ are real;P and Q are momentum and coordinate operators, respectively;the units of h=m=ω=l is taken, m and ω are harmonic oscillator's mass and'frequency, respectively) is a generalized single-mode squeeze operator which can generate mixed squeezing and rotating transformations. The decomposition of V as a product of a squeeze operator and a rotating operator is derived through the technique of integration within an ordered product.The fluctuation in quadrature phases for the squeezed vacuum state generated by V is analyzed.     

Equilibrium dynamics of the sub-Ohmic spin-boson model under bias

Using the bosonic numerical renormalization group method, we studied the equilibrium dynamical correlation function C(ω) of the spin operator σ_z for the biased sub-Ohmic spin-boson model. The small-ω behavior C(ω) ∝ω~s is found to be universal and independent of the bias ε and the coupling strength α(except at the quantum critical point α = αc and ε = 0). Our NRG data also show C(ω) ∝χ~2ω~s for a wide range of parameters, including the biased strong coupling regime(ε = 0 and α α_c), supporting the general validity of the Shiba relation. Close to the quantum critical point αc,the dependence of C(ω) on α and ε is understood in terms of the competition between ε and the crossover energy scale ω_0~*of the unbiased case. C(ω) is stable with respect to ε for ε《ε~*. For ε》ε~*, it is suppressed by ε in the low frequency regime. We establish that ε~*∝(ω_0~*)~(1/θ)holds for all sub-Ohmic regime 0≤s 1, with θ = 2/(3s) for 0 s≤1/2 and θ = 2/(1 + s) for 1/2 s 1. The variation of C(ω) with α and ε is summarized into a crossover phase diagram on the α–ε plane.

Using the extended Hubbard model and sum-over-state method, we have calculated the linear polarizability α and the third-order nonlinear polarizability γ for (C₅₉N)₂. We find that (C₅₉N)₂ has very big γ value (around esu), and its α and γ values are bigger than those of C₅₉N. In particular, when 1.2 eV≤3ω, (C₅₉N)₂ as much larger γ values than C₅₉N.

本文基于Lee-Low-Pines幺正变换法,采用Tokuda改进的线性组合算符法研究了Rashba自旋-轨道相互作用效应下量子盘中强耦合磁极化子的性质.结果表明,磁极化子的相互作用能Eint的取值随量子盘横向受限强度ω0、外磁场的回旋频率ωc、电子-LO声子耦合强度α和量子盘厚度L的变化均与磁极化子的状态性质密切相关;磁极化子的平均声子数N随ωc,ω0和α的增加而增大,随L的增加而振荡减小;在Rashba自旋-轨道相互作用效应影响下磁极化子的有效质量将劈裂为m*+,m*-两种,它们随ωc,ω0和α的增加而增大,随L的增加而振荡减小;在研究量子盘中磁极化子问题时,电子-LO声子耦合和Rashba自旋-轨道相互作用效应的影响不可忽略,但Rashba自旋-轨道相互作用和极化子效应对磁极化子的影响只有在电子运动的速率较慢时显著.     

Plasma effects in a free electron laser

The introduction of a plasma and a strong guide magnetic field in a free electron laser (FEL) slows down the phase velocity of radiation, significantly reducing the requirements on beam energy for generating frequencies below the electron-cyclotron frequency (ω₁≲ω_c). Around plasma resonance (ω₁~ω_p), the FEL mode couples to two-stream instability (TSI), attaining a large growth rate, comparable to that of the wiggler-free TSI. At plasma densities comparable to beam density, the beam-induced local depression in the electron density of the plasma acts as a waveguide for guiding any high-frequency radiation when the beam current is ≳17 kA     

Alternating-current relaxation of a rotating metallic particle

Based on a first-principles approach,we establish an alternating-current(AC) relaxation theory for a rotating metallic particle with complex dielectric constant ε_α=ε_α-iσ_α/ω_0.Here εα is the real part,σ_α the conductivity,ω_0 the angular frequency of an AC electric field,and i=-1~(1/2).Our theory yields an accurate interparticle force,which is in good agreement with the existing experiment.The agreement helps to show that the relaxations of two kinds of charges,namely,surface polarized charges(described by ε_α) and free charges(corresponding to σ_α),contribute to the unusually large reduction in the attracting interparticle force.This theory can be adopted to determine the relaxation time of dynamic particles in various fields.     

激光在大气中驱动的强太赫兹辐射的理论和实验研究

两束双色激光脉冲能在大气中产生MV/cm的强太赫兹波.本文主要介绍了我们最近的三项理论和实验工作,澄清了双色激光方案的物理机制这个长期存在的问题,并对该方案进行了推广.为了在气体中有效地产生太赫兹波,在广泛研究的双色激光方案中两束激光的频率比ω_2/ω_1总是被取为1:2.首先从理论上预测采用其他频率比时,此方案仍能有效地工作,并通过实验进行证实.实验上观察到在新的频率比ω_2/ω_1=1:4,2:3下,也能有效地产生太赫兹波;观察到通过旋转较长波长的激光脉冲的偏振方向,能够有效地调节太赫兹波的偏振,但是旋转波长较短的激光脉冲的偏振方向,太赫兹波的偏振几乎没有变化,这违背了多波混频理论中极化率张量对称性的要求;采用不同的频率比时,太赫兹能量定标率并没有显示出明显的区别,这与多波混频理论预测的能量定标率不符.这些实验结果与等离子体电流模型及粒子模拟结果符合得很好.因此,该研究不仅对双色激光方案进行了推广,而且证实了其物理机制应该归结为等离子体电流模型.     

Alternating current characterization of nano-Pt(Ⅱ)octaethylporphyrin(PtOEP) thin film as a new organic semiconductor

Alternating current(AC) conductivity and dielectric properties of thermally evaporated Au/Pt OEP/Au thin films are investigated each as a function of temperature(303 K–473 K) and frequency(50 Hz–5 MHz).The frequency dependence of AC conductivity follows the Jonscher universal dynamic law.The AC-activation energies are determined at different frequencies.It is found that the correlated barrier hopping(CBH) model is the dominant conduction mechanism.The variation of the frequency exponent s with temperature is analyzed in terms of the CBH model.Coulombic barrier height Wm,hopping distance Rω,and the density of localized states N(EF) are valued at different frequencies.Dielectric constant ε_1(ω,T) and dielectric loss ε_2(ω,T) are discussed in terms of the dielectric polarization process.The dielectric modulus shows the non-Debye relaxation in the material.The extracted relaxation time by using the imaginary part of modulus(M')is found to follow the Arrhenius law.     

二维有摩擦颗粒体系振动态密度与玻色峰的研究

利用颗粒离散元方法,研究了由2048个有摩擦的单分散圆盘颗粒组成的体系在各向同性压缩条件下,颗粒摩擦系数μ对颗粒体系结构与振动特性的影响.结果表明:固定压强下,随μ的增大,区分德拜标度与态密度平台的过渡频率ω*与玻色峰频率ωBP均向低频移动,玻色峰高度D(ωBP)/ωBP逐渐增加.主要原因是μ增大导致颗粒体系无序程度增加(平均配位数减小)而在ωω*处出现了大量额外模式.模式分析表明:低频(ω1.0)模式主要是以平动为主的混合模式,中频(1.0ω4.0)模式主要是以平动为主的混合局域化模式,高频(ω4.0)振动模式几乎为纯转动的局域化模式;并且随μ的增大,低频下平动模式更加局域化,同时低频转动模式的贡献也逐渐增加,暗示在高摩擦系数下低频转动模式产生更重要的影响.     

Third-Order Optical Nonlinearity in Two-Dimensional Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

We present a detailed calculation of the linear and nonlinear optical response of four types of monolayer twodimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), having the formula MX₂ with M=Mo, W and X=S, Se. The calculations are based on 6-band tight-binding model of TMDCs, and then performing a semi-classical perturbation analysis of response functions. We numerically calculate the linear χ_μν⁽¹⁾ (-ω;ω) and nonlinear surface susceptibility tensors χ_μνζη⁽³⁾(-ω_Σ; ω_r; ω_s; ω_t) with ω_Σ=ω_r+ω_s+ω_t. Both non-degenerate and degenerate cases are studied for thirdharmonic generation and nonlinear refractive index, respectively. Computational results obtained with no external fitting parameters are discussed regarding two recent reported experiments on MoS₂, and thus we can confirm the extraordinarily strong optical nonlinearity of TMDCs. As a possible application, we demonstrate generation of a π/4-rotated squeezed state by means of nonlinear response of TMDCs, in a silica micro-disk resonator covered with the 2D material. Our proposed method will enable accurate calculations of nonlinear optical response, such as four-wave mixing and highharmonic generation in 2D materials and their heterostructures, thus enabling study of novel functionalities of 2D photonic integrated circuits.     

FIRST-PRINCIPLE SELF-CONSISTENT PSEUDOPOTENTIAL CALCULATION OF THE ELECTRONIC STRUCTURES OF SHORT-PERIOD (GaAs)m(AlAs)n SUPERLATT1CES

With the local density approximation, the band structares of the short-period (GaAs)₁(AlAs)₁ and (GaAs)₂(AlAs)₁ superlattices are calculated by using the first-principle self-consistent pseudopotential method. The results show that the (GaAs)₁(AlAs)₁ superlattice is an indirect semiconductor, and the lowest conduction band state is at point R in the Brillouin zone; the (GaAs)₂(AlAs)₁ superlattice is a direct semiconductor and the lowest conduction band state is at point Γ. The squared matrix elements of transition are calculated. The pressure coefficients of energy gaps of the (GaAs)₁(AlAs)₁ and (GaAs)₂(AlAs)₁ superlattices are calculated and compared with those obtained by hydrostatic pressure experiments.
