电磁波辐照下量子线的电子自旋极化输运性质

理论上研究Rashba自旋-轨道相互作(SOI)量子线在外电磁波辐照下的电子自旋极化输运性质.在自由电子模型下利用散射矩阵方法,发现当Rashba SOI较弱时,自旋极化率与外电磁场频率和电子入射能量无关,而当Rashba SOI较强时,自旋极化率则强烈依赖于外场频率和电子入射能量,其物理根源是Rashba SOI使子带混合引起的.此外,当电子的入射能量增加到打开另一通道阈值时,电子的透射率出现一个反常的台阶结构,这来源于电子与光子的非弹性散射而使电子在子带间的跃迁. 关键词： 量子线 电磁波 自旋极化输运 散射矩阵     

Electronic subband structure in two-dimensional electron gases under intense laser radiations

We present a theoretical study on the influence of intense terahertz (THz) electromagnetic (EM) radiations on the electronic structures in a modulation-doped two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor system. We find that in the presence of a THz EM radiation field polarised linearly along the 2D-plane of a 2D electron gas (2DEG), the electron density of states will be modified strongly by the intensity and the frequency of the radiation field. As a consequence, the Fermi-energy and the electron density in the system will be affected markedly by the EM radiations. The results have indicated that the photon-modified electronic subband structure in a 2DEG device can be observed by using the recently developed free-electron laser sources.     

Effects of Breaking Waves on Composite Backscattering from Ship-Ocean Scene

The existence of the sea surface is bound to affect the electromagnetic(EM) scattering from marine targets. When dealing with the composite scattering from targets over a sea surface by applying high-frequency EM theories,the total scattering field can be decomposed into three parts in low sea states, namely, the direct scattering from the sea surface, the direct scattering from targets and the coupling scattering between the sea surface and targets. With regard to high sea states, breaking waves make the direct scattering from the sea surface and the coupling scattering more complicated. To solve this issue, a scattering model is proposed to analyze the composite scattering from a ship over a rough sea surface under high sea states. To consider the effect of breaking waves,a three dimensional geometric model is adopted together with Ufimtsev's theory of edge waves for the scattering from a breaker. In addition, the coupling scattering between targets and breaking waves is taken into account by considering all possible scattering paths. The simulated results indicate that the influence of breaking waves on the scattering field from the sea surface and on the coupling field is non-negligible, and the numerical results also show the effectiveness of the proposed scattering model.     

FDTD simulation study of size/gap and substrate-dependent SERS activity study of Au@SiO_2 nanoparticles

We use Au@SiO_2 nanoparticles(NPs) to systematically and comprehensively study the relationship between nanostructure and activity for surface-enhanced Raman scattering. Calculation simulation using the finite different time domain method verifies the experiment results and further reveals that the particle size and the distance between the NPs play vital roles in the surface-enhanced Raman scattering(SERS). Furthermore, in order to better simulate the real experiment, a Au@SiO_2 nanosphere dimer is placed on the silicon substrate and Au substrate, separately. The simulation results show that the large EM field coupling is due to the "hot spots" transferred from the NP–NP gaps to NP–surface of metal gaps,meanwhile, more "hot spots" occur. We also find that the signal intensity strongly depends on the position of the probe molecule. This work provides a better understanding of EM field enhancement.     

Scattering of electromagnetic waves from a slightly random surface—reciprocal theorem, cross-polarization and backscattering enhancement

The present paper deals with the electromagnetic (EM) scattering from a perfectly conductive, random surface by means of the stochastic functional approach and aims to study the backscattering enhancement associated with co-polarized and cross-polarized scattering. The treatment is based on the stochastic functional theory where the random EM field is represented in terms of a Wiener-Hermite functional of the homogeneous Gaussian random surface. To obtain more precise solutions than the previous works (Nakayama J et al 1981 Radio Sci. 16 831-53), we first establish the reciprocal theorem for vector Wiener kernels which describe the stochastic functional representation of the EM field and, using this, we derive the reciprocal relations for the co-polarized and cross-polarized scattering distribution relative to TE and TM polarizations of incident wave. Solutions for the vector Wiener kernels up to the second are obtained so precisely as to satisfy the reciprocal relations and are expressed in terms of generating matrices, so that complex EM scattering processes described by the vector Wiener kernels are given dear physical interpretations. Compact operator representations are introduced to reformulate the hierarchical kernel equations, the mass operator equation and higher-order kernel solutions. It is shown that the second vector Wiener kernel physically describes a 'dressed double-scattering' process, similar to the scalar theory (Ogura H and Takahashi N 1995 Waves Random Media 5 223-42), and that the 'dressed double scattering', which involves anomalous scattering in the intermediate scattering processes, creates the backscattering enhancement in both co- and cross-polarized scattering for both TE and TM wave incidence.     

Transmission and scattering properties of acoustic waves in phononic band gap materials

We have developed a formula for studying the transmission and scattering properties of finite-sized phononic band gap (PBG) material. We will show that based on the far field approach the transmission coefficients can be obtained by treating PBG samples as scattering objects. We find that the results agree well with the band structure.     

Direct visual evidence for the chemical mechanism of surface‐enhanced resonance Raman scattering via charge transfer: (II) Binding‐site and quantum‐size effects

We describe quantum‐size and binding‐site effects on the chemical and local field enhancement mechanisms of surface‐enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS), in which the pyridine molecule is adsorbed on one of the vertices of the Ag₂₀ tetrahedron. We first investigated the influence of the binding site on normal Raman scattering (NRS) and excited state properties of optical absorption spectroscopy. Second, we investigated the quantum‐size effect on the electromagnetic (EM) and chemical mechanism from 300 to 1000 nm with charge difference density. It is found that the strong absorption at around 350 nm is mainly the charge transfer (CT) excitation (CT between the molecule and the silver cluster) for large clusters, which is the direct evidence for the chemical enhancement mechanism for SERRS; for a small cluster the strong absorption around 350 nm is mainly intracluster excitation, which is the direct evidence for the EM enhancement mechanism. This conclusion is further confirmed with the general Mie theory. The plasmon peak in EM enhancement will be red‐shifted with the increase of cluster size. The influence of the binding site and quantum‐size effects on NRS, as well as chemical and EM enhancement mechanisms on SERRS, is significant. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Tunable second-order sideband effects in hybrid optomechanical cavity assisted with a Bose—Einstein condensate

We theoretically investigated a second-order optomechanical-induced transparency (OMIT) process of a hybrid optomechanical system (COMS), which a Bose—Einstein condensate (BEC) in the presence of atom—atom interaction trapped inside a cavity with a moving end mirror. The advantage of this hybrid COMS over a bare COMS is that the frequency of the second mode is controlled by the s-wave scattering interaction. Based on the traditional linearization approximation, we derive analytical solutions for the output transmission intensity of the probe field and the dimensionless amplitude of the second-order sideband (SS). The numerical results show that the transmission intensity of the probe field and the dimensionless amplitude of the SS can be controlled by the s-wave scattering frequency. Furthermore, the control field intensities, the effective detuning, the effective coupling strength of the cavity field with the Bogoliubov mode are used to control the transmission intensity of the probe field and the dimensionless amplitude of the SS.

Electromagnetic wave scattering by small bodies

A reduction of the Maxwell's system to a Fredholm second-kind integral equation with weakly singular kernel is given for electromagnetic (EM) wave scattering by one and many small bodies. This equation is solved asymptotically as the characteristic size of the bodies tends to zero. The technique developed is used for solving the many-body EM wave scattering problem by rigorously reducing it to solving linear algebraic systems, completely bypassing the usage of integral equations. An equation is derived for the effective field in the medium, in which many small particles are embedded. A method for creating a desired refraction coefficient is outlined.     

Terahertz Radiation Transport in Photonic Glasses

Multiple scattering of electromagnetic (EM) waves arises in disordered media with a refractive index varying on the scale of the wavelength. The diffusion approximation is a powerful tool to treat multiple scattering as a photon random walk, neglecting resonant phenomena. However, as the light intensity varies on a scale much smaller than the transport mean free path, resonances may occur in media formed by finite-size scatterers and break the diffusion approximation. The energy and phase velocity are very useful tools to reveal the onset of the resonant transport regime. In this paper the study of the propagation of terahertz (THz) waves through 3D random media by employing terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) is addressed. Specifically, measurements of the electric field transmitted by samples of different thicknesses made of 1 mm diameter silica spheres dispersed in a paraffin matrix at different filling fractions are reported. This investigation has provided an accurate measurement of the EM field phase and, hence, information on the radiation propagation velocity that has enabled the first observation of a photonic glass at the THz range.     

SERS EM field enhancement study through fast Raman mapping of Sierpinski carpet arrays

Self‐similar Sierpinski carpet fractals were fabricated using a new nanopatterning technique, i.e. solid‐state superionic stamping (S4), to study the effect of feature size on plasmon‐enhanced Raman scattering. A real‐time Raman image showing electromagnetic (EM) field enhancement contrast is demonstrated. The effects were studied and explained in the context of modes of surface plasmon excitation. Additionally, we find that the EM field enhancement supported by the fractals extends further spatially as compared to continuous Ag surfaces. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A study on the spectral characteristics of surface enhanced Raman scattering based on far‐field extinction and near‐field electromagnetic field intensity of 2D nanostructures

A new solid‐state electrochemical patterning technique was applied to fabrication of high‐resolution silver bowtie antennas and hexagonal arrays. These silver nanofeatures were used to investigate the relation among surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) enhancement factor (EF), extinction, local electromagnetic (EM) field maxima of the features. It is found that spectral extinction property or the plasmonic resonance of a given SERS substrate alone is not sufficient for determining optimal EF; the number of points of high local EM field, or ‘hot spots’, and the distribution of those high‐field spots, too, play a role.

Scattering of an electromagnetic wave from a planar waveguide structure with a slightly 2D random surface

This paper deals with the scattering of an electromagnetic (EM) wave from a waveguide structure with a slightly rough surface. The waveguide structure is a dielectric film on a planar, perfectly conductive surface, and the top of the film is a two-dimensional (2D) homogeneous Gaussian random surface. The treatment is based on the stochastic functional theory where the random EM field is represented in terms of a Wiener - Hermite functional of the random surface. Numerical calculations show that enhanced backscattering and cross-polarization occur, but that no enhanced satellite peak appears for a 2D random surface, in contrast to the case of a 1D surface. The enhanced backscattering is caused by the interference of two double-scattering processes and is attributed to the existence of guided waves in the scattering structure.

Polarization characteristics of an electromagnetic wave scattered from a slightly random surface: +45° polarized incidence

Abstract

The present paper deals with the scattering of an obliquely polarized electromagnetic (EM) wave from a slightly rough surface, which is assumed to be a two-dimensional (2D), homogeneous and isotropic Gaussian random field. In contrast to the cases of TE(s) and TM(p) polarized incidence, the scattering profile for an obliquely polarized incidence is not symmetric with respect to the incident plane, despite the fact that the random surface is statistically isotropic.
