Dependence of adiabatic population transfer on pulse profile

Control of population transfer by rapid adiabatic passage has been an established technique wherein the exact amplitude profile of the shaped pulse is considered to be insignificant. We study the effect of ultrafast shaped pulses for two-level systems, by density-matrix approach. However, we find that adiabaticity depends simultaneously on pulse profile as well as the frequency modulation under non-resonant conditions     

Numerical simulation of space-charge dynamics in a gyrotron trap

The particle-in-cell (PIC) method is used to simulate the self-consistent accumulation and bunching of space charge in the trap of a gyrotron electron-optical system. It is shown that it is possible to generate charge bunches that oscillate along the direction of the magnetic field. The dependence of the characteristics of these oscillations on the magnitude of the electron current into the trap is determined, along with the effect of the accumulated charge on the velocity distribution of electrons in the current passing through the magnetic mirror. Satisfactory agreement with the experimental data is obtained. Zh. Tekh. Fiz. 67, 98–101 (September 1997)     

On the influence of the trapping of particles on the beam-plasma interaction

Interaction of the trapped beam particles with spectrum is discussed in the paper. In models of particles in two waves and in a spectrum (with given amplitudes) we discuss partly well trapped particles (in the region of harmonic oscillations), partly weakly trapped particles near the separatrix; further, we discuss the range of resonances, the transport of energy and a possibility of transition of the trapped beam into the quasiergodic state. For the case of a discrete spectrum, conditions for the beam diffusion are given and, within the framework of system with mixing, conditions for existence of hf field-beam particles balance are discussed.Nademlýnská 600, Praha 9, Czechoslovakia.     

On the influence of the voltage pulse rise time and cathode geometry on the generation of a supershort avalanche electron beam

The influence of the voltage pulse rise time on the amplitude of a runaway electron beam and X-ray generation in air and nitrogen under atmospheric pressure is studied experimentally and theoretically. Generalization of the whistle criterion for the case of a nonuniform field is suggested. It is shown that the maximal energy of beam electrons and the beam current amplitude grow when the voltage pulse rise time decreases. It is found that the amplitude of the runaway electron current reaches a maximum at a certain curvature of the cathode. The maximal energy of electrons increases when the radius of curvature of the cathode exceeds the value at which the beam current amplitude is the highest. If the field is nonuniform, its critical value at which many electrons run away is more than an order of magnitude lower than in the uniform field.     

The influence of reflections on the stability of gyrotron autooscillations

We study the influence of some types of reflections on the oscillatory processes in a gyrotron. The oscillation stability conditions in the presence of a reflected signal are estimated, the processes in a gyrotron with a fixed structure of the HF field are simulated numerically, and the enrichment of the signal spectrum in the presence of reflections is studied.

Effect of the adiabatic process on the absorption in heavy-ion scattering

We have succeeded in obtaining the optical model potential for ¹²C---¹²C scattering at low incident energies (10 MeV E_cm 20 MeV), by applying the adiabatic approximation to the coupled channels equation. As for this potential inelastic channels of single and mutual excitations of ¹²C^*(2⁺, 4.43 MeV) make a contribution to the real part and not to the imaginary part.     

Effect of supply voltage and body-biasing on single-event transient pulse quenching in bulk fin field-effect-transistor process

Charge sharing is becoming an important topic as the feature size scales down in fin field-effect-transistor(Fin FET)technology. However, the studies of charge sharing induced single-event transient(SET) pulse quenching with bulk Fin FET are reported seldomly. Using three-dimensional technology computer aided design(3DTCAD) mixed-mode simulations,the effects of supply voltage and body-biasing on SET pulse quenching are investigated for the first time in bulk Fin FET process. Research results indicate that due to an enhanced charge sharing effect, the propagating SET pulse width decreases with reducing supply voltage. Moreover, compared with reverse body-biasing(RBB), the circuit with forward body-biasing(FBB) is vulnerable to charge sharing and can effectively mitigate the propagating SET pulse width up to 53% at least.This can provide guidance for radiation-hardened bulk Fin FET technology especially in low power and high performance applications.     

Storage and adiabatic cooling of polar molecules in a microstructured trap

We present a versatile electric trap for the exploration of a wide range of quantum phenomena in the interaction between polar molecules. The trap combines tunable fields, homogeneous over most of the trap volume, with steep gradient fields at the trap boundary. An initial sample of up to 10(8), CH(3)F molecules is trapped for as long as 60 s, with a 1/e storage time of 12 s. Adiabatic cooling down to 120 mK is achieved by slowly expanding the trap volume. The trap combines all ingredients for opto-electrical cooling, which, together with the extraordinarily long storage times, brings field-controlled quantum-mechanical collision and reaction experiments within reach.     

On the role of hole trapping centers in the interactive mechanism of the trap interaction in anion-defect alumina single crystals

The effect of deep hole traps on the intensity and shape of the dosimetric peak of thermoluminescence (TL) has been studied at 450 K in anion-defect alumina single crystals. It has been shown that filling of deep hole centers leads to a decrease in the sensitivity to radiation of crystals with a small half-width of the TL peak and has no effect on the sensitivity of crystals with a broadened peak. It has been assumed that traps responsible for the TL dosimetric peak broadening are of hole nature, which can be caused by the presence of Ti3+ ions in the corundum lattice. The results obtained have been interpreted within the modified model of the interactive system of traps.

Polarization and trapping of weakly bound atoms in penning trap fields

The ATHENA and ATRAP groups at CERN recently reported the production of weakly bound antihydrogen atoms in a non-neutral positron-antiproton plasma. This Letter derives an equation of motion for weakly bound atoms in the electric and magnetic fields of the plasma and trap. The atoms are polarized by the electric field and can be trapped radially in the edge region of the plasma where the electric field is maximum.     

Regime of trapping and adiabatic deceleration of electrons in asectioned electron RF generator

As a method for the realization of the regime of trapping and adiabatic deceleration of particles in relativistic RF electron autooscillators, the scheme of the twystron with a self-exciting input section and an output section where the deceleration of electrons is provided by profiling the parameters of the system is suggested. It is shown that for a wide range of parameters, almost total trapping of the particles and, therefore, high-efficiency stable RF generation, can be achieved     

Observation of pulse trapping in a near-zero dispersion regime

We report pulse trapping in passively mode-locked fiber lasers operating in a near-zero dispersion regime. Two polarization components of vector pulses have different central wavelengths while copropagating as a unit in fiber lasers. The vector pulses exhibit smooth Gaussian spectral profile without any sidebands, qualitatively distinct from those observed in net-anomalous and net-normal fiber lasers. Numerical simulations suggest that the pulse trapping depends not only on fiber birefringence and cavity dispersion but also on saturable absorption effect. The experimental observations are in good agreement with the numerical simulations.     

Entanglement of a degenerate system in adiabatic process

Entanglement evolution of a degenerate system is studied. It is found that an entangled state becomes unentangled under an adiabatic variation of the system, and vice versa. The amount of entanglement varies with different adiabatic paths. It is concluded that the entanglement of complete set of eigenstates of a system at thermal equilibrium is independent on perturbations, but the entanglement of partial eigenstates may change with adiabatic perturbations. This can help us to control entanglement properties and is very useful in the quantum computations.

Extending the trapping lifetime of single atom in a microscopic far-off-resonance optical dipole trap

In our experiment, a single cesium atom prepared in a large-magnetic-gradient magneto–optical trap (MOT) can be efficiently transferred into a 1064-nm far-off-resonance microscopic optical dipole trap (FORT). The efficient transfer of the single atom between the two traps is used to determine the trapping lifetime and the effective temperature of the single atom in FORT. The typical trapping lifetime has been improved from ～ 6.9 s to ～ 130 s by decreasing the background pressure from ～ 1 × 10^–10 Torr to ～ 2 × 10^–11Torr and applying one-shot 10-ms laser cooling phase. We also theoretically investigate the dependence of trapping lifetimes of a single atom in a FORT on trap parameters based on the FORT beam’s intensity noise induced heating. Numerical simulations show that the heating depends on the FORT beam’s waist size and the trap depth. The trapping time can be predicted based on effective temperature measurement of a single atom in the FORT and the intensity noise spectra of the FORT beam. These experimental results are found to be in agreement with the predictions of the heating model.     

The normal-form (In)dependence of the adiabatic particle definitions

The adiabatic particle definition of Parker [1] has only been discussed for particular choices of the field variable and time coordinate, referred to here as the choice of a normal-form. It seems to have been implicitly assumed that the associated vacuum is independent of the normal-form chosen; we show that this is indeed the case.NATO Postdoctoral Fellow.
