Effects of strain and higher order inertia gradients on wave propagation in single-walled carbon nanotubes

Dispersion relation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is investigated. The governing equations of motion of SWCNTs are derived on the basis of the gradient shell model, which involves one strain gradient and one higher order inertia parameters in addition to two Lamé constants. The present shell model can predict wave dispersion in good agreement with those of molecular dynamic (MD) simulations available in the literature. The effects of two small scale parameters on the angular frequency and phase velocity in the longitudinal, torsional and radial directions are studied in detail. The numerical results show that the angular frequency and phase velocity increase with the increase of strain gradient parameter, whereas decrease with inertia gradient parameter increases. In addition, analytical expressions of the cut-off frequencies and asymptotic phase velocities are given. It is found that the number of cut-off frequencies is dependent on the circumferential wave number, and two asymptotic phase velocities exist for nonzero value of strain gradient parameter, while only one exists when the strain gradient parameter is excluded.     

Stark效应对量子纠缠信息交换传递的影响

用多个“二能级原子与单模光场”组成的联合物理模型,考虑Stark效应后,推导了该系统的态矢演化式,得到光场纠缠度的数值计算结果.讨论了Stark效应和初始场强对量子纠缠信息交换传递的影响.结果发现,在一定条件下,原子纠缠态与光场纠缠态之间可以转化,实现了量子纠缠信息的交换传递,且Stark效应和初始场强对此过程有着显著的影响:光场的纠缠程度随着初始场强的增强而增大;在强场条件下,光场纠缠度出现崩塌-回复现象.Stark移位参量越大,光场纠缠度振荡越剧烈,说明Stark效应破坏了光场纠缠程度的稳定性.     

Suppression of the order parameter correlation length by inhomogeneous strains

Very recently we presented puzzling results of diffuse neutron scattering experiments on KSCN and RbSCN. The data yield an increase of the diffuse intensity with increasing temperature below T(c), whereas the width remains constant. Using molecular dynamics and 3D Monte Carlo simulations, we have shown that below T(c) the width of the correlation functions can be stabilized by strain fields originating from the order parameter strain interactions. Here we construct a novel analytic model which predicts the existence of a second characteristic length scale and explains the suppression of the growth of precursor clusters by the influence of inhomogeneous strain fields.     

Slow light using semiconductor optical amplifiers: Model and noise characteristics

We developed an improved model in order to predict the RF behavior of the SOA valid for any experimental conditions. It takes into account the dynamic saturation of the SOA, which can be fully characterized by a simple measurement, and only relies on material fitting parameters, independent of the optical intensity and bias current. We used this new model to analyze and model the additive noise of the SOA in order to fully characterize the influence of the slow light effect on the microwave photonics link properties.

Elastic and anelastic relaxations in the relaxor ferroelectric Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3: I. Strain analysis and a static order parameter

The structural evolution of Pb(Mg(1/3)Nb(2/3))O(3) (PMN) has been reviewed in terms of characteristic temperatures, length scales and timescales, with a view to considering the overall relaxor behaviour from the perspectives of strain and elasticity. A conventional analysis of lattice parameter data in terms of spontaneous strain and strain/order parameter coupling shows that even though a normal phase transition does not occur the relaxor ordering process is accompanied by a significant volume strain which follows the pattern of a static order parameter evolving according to that expected for a tricritical phase transition with T(c) ≈ 350 K. This matches the evolution of the intensity of the elastic central peak in neutron scattering spectra, and reflects the development of static (or quasistatic) polar nanoregions (PNRs) as if by a mean-field phase transition. Use of a Landau free energy expansion, which includes Γ4(-) order parameter components to describe ferroelectric contributions and an R1(+) order parameter to describe cation ordering together with their formal coupling with strain, then allows the pattern of elastic softening expected for a cubic → rhombohedral phase transition to be anticipated. The extent to which observed softening differs from this static mean-field pattern serves to highlight the additional roles of local heterogeneity and relaxation dynamics in determining the relaxor properties of PMN.

Evidence for Fisher renormalization in the compressible phi4 model

We present novel Fourier Monte Carlo simulations of a compressible phi4-model on a simple-cubic lattice with linear-quadratic coupling of order parameter and strain, focusing on the detection of fluctuation-induced first-order transitions and deviations from standard critical behavior. The former is indeed observed in the constant stress ensemble and for auxetic systems at constant strain, while for regular isotropic systems at constant strain, we find strong evidence for Fisher-renormalized critical behavior and are led to predict the existence of a tricritical point.

气溶胶凝聚粒子散射特性的数值计算

利用Cluster-cluster aggregation (CCA)模型,模拟了由相同数目球形原始微粒凝聚而成的四种随机取向气溶胶凝聚粒子．根据物质的电结构,将气溶胶凝聚粒子离散为一系列偶极子,结合离散偶极子近似方法,在获得每一个偶极子的电偶极矩之后,数值计算了气溶胶凝聚粒子散射强度的角分布,并分析了散射强度随入射光入射角度和气溶胶凝聚粒子尺寸参数变化的规律．结果显示：当散射角较小时,气溶胶凝聚粒子取向和入射光的入射角度对散射强度影响不大,当散射角增大时,散射强度则明显依赖于气溶胶凝聚粒子取向和入射光的入射角度;对于不同尺寸参数的气溶胶凝聚粒子,在同一角度入射情况下,随尺寸参数的增加,气溶胶凝聚粒子的散射主要集中于前向散射．     

Light scattering near phase transition points in solids

The present state of theoretical and experimental investigations of the light scattering near phase transition points in solids is reviewed. It is emphasized that the results available here may be understood on the ground of a simple but rather general phenomenological or semiphenomenological theory. From this point of view the anomaly of the total (integrated) light scattering intensity is considered with account taken of a coupling of the order parameter to other quantities including elastic strains and long-range electric fields. The temperature dependence of the scattered light spectral distribution is discussed in detail, the main attention being given to the so-called central peak problem. The influence of defects both on the total intensity and on the spectral distribution of the scattered light is also examined.

Theoretical and experimental study of the intensity distribution in biological tissues

Based on the diffusion approximate theory （DA）, a theoretical model about the distribution of the intensity of a narrow collimation beam illuminating on a semi-lnfinite biological tissue is developed. In order to verify the correctness of the model, a novel method of measuring the distributions of the intensity of light in Intralipid-10% suspension at 650 nm is presented and ts of the distributions of the distance-dependent intensity of scattering light in different directions are made. The investigations show that the results from our diffusion model are in good agreement with the experimental results beyond and in the areas around the light source, and the distance-dependent intensity in the incident direction attenuates approximately in the exponential form. Furthermore, our theoretic results indicate the anisotropic characteristics of the intensity in different directions of scattering light inside the biological tissue.     

具有温度补偿功能的光纤光栅传感解调系统

从理论和实验上研究了三角形光纤布拉格光栅的温度特性,结果表明：三角形光纤布拉格光栅谐振波长的温度变化率与普通光纤光栅的相同,并且其光谱形状不随温度的变化而改变。利用三角形光纤光栅光谱的这一温度特性,设计了一种具有温度补偿功能的应变传感解调系统。该系统利用斜线光纤光栅将光纤光栅应变传感的波长编码信息转换为强度,并且用信号强度与参考光强度的比值作为应变的度量值。研究表明,应变与应变度量值成线性关系,同时系统具有温度补偿功能。在三种不同的温度条件下,对悬臂梁的应变测试结果显示：在实验测量范围内,温度变化1℃导致的应变测量误差小于6微应变。由于采用信号强度和参考光强度的比值作为应变的度量值,避免了宽带光源的平坦度及波动对测量结果的影响。

Decay of a metastable high-spin state in spin-crossover compounds: mean first passage time analysis

We here focus on the effect of a transition from metastable high-spin to stable low-spin states in spin-crossover compounds in contact with heat bath as external realistic (colored) noises. The systems are described by the way of stochastic methods using a phenomenological model of photoexcitation and relaxation in spin-crossover compounds. It is shown that such transitions can be controlled by a parameter that governs relaxation flow, intensity of light and noise intensity.     

Quasi-long-range order in nematics confined in random porous media

We study the effect of random porous matrices on the ordering in nematic liquid crystals. The randomness destroys orientational long-range order and drives the liquid crystal into a glass state. We predict two glass phases, one of which possesses quasi-long-range order. In this state the correlation length is infinite and the correlation function of the order parameter obeys a power dependence on the distance. The small-angle light-scattering amplitude diverges but slower than in the bulk nematic. In the uniaxially strained porous matrices two new phases emerge. One type of strain induces an anisotropic quasi-long-range-ordered state while the other stabilizes nematic long-range order.     

Scattering of surface polaritons in the vicinity of phase transition points

In the region of phase transitions the intensity of dielectric permeability fluctuations increases due to fluctuations of the order parameter. This can lead to the decrease in the length of propagation of surface polaritons and also it can influence the angular distribution of light reflected from the medium surface. In this paper the scattering of surface polaritons by the order parameter fluctuations is considered in conditions when the surface polariton is propagating along the surface of the metal coated with a thin dielectric film near the phase transition point in this film and for the case when the film is absent and the phase transition occurs in the whole substrate volume.     

An optical method and neural network for surface roughness measurement

The measurement of surface roughness using stylus equipment has several disadvantages. A non-contact optical method is needed for measuring the surface roughness of engineering metals with improved accuracy. One candidate for an optical method is the use of a laser source, where the laser light intensity reflected from the surface represents the surface roughness of the illuminated area. A relation can be developed between the reflected laser beam intensity and the surface roughness of the metal. The present study examines the measurement of the surface roughness of the stainless steel samples using a He-Ne laser beam. In the measurement a Gaussian curve parameter of a Gaussian function approximating the peak of the reflected intensity is measured with a fast response photodetector. In order to achieve this, an experimental setup is designed and built. In the experimental apparatus, fiber-optic cables are used to collect the reflected beam from the surface. The output of the fiber-optic system is fed to a back-propagation neural network to classify the resulting surface profile and predict the surface roughness value. The results obtained from the present study are then compared with the stylus measurement results. It is found that the resolution of the surface texture improves considerably in the case of optical method and the neural network developed for this purpose can classify the surface texture according to the control charts developed mathematically.
