Enhanced electron trapping by a static longitudinal magnetic field in laser wakefield acceleration

An externally applied longitudinal magnetic field was found to enhance the particle trapping in the laser wakefield acceleration. When a static magnetic field of a few tens of tesla is applied in parallel with the propagation direction of a driving laser pulse, it is shown from two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations that total charge of the trapped beam and its maximum energy increase. The analysis of electron trajectories strongly suggests that the enhanced trapping originates from the suppression of the transverse motion by the magnetic field. The enhanced trapping by the magnetic field was observed consistently for various values of the plasma density, the amplitude of the laser pulse and pulse spot size.     

GAMMA simulations of stray field responses: slice thickness and pulse calibration

A stray field (STRAFI) module has been added to the GAMMA magnetic resonance simulation platform in order to facilitate computational investigations of NMR experiments in large static field gradients that are on the order of 50 T/m. The package has been used to examine system response during echo trains generated by the application of shaped pulses. The associated echo amplitude maxima and effective slice thickness are presented. A new accurate method for STRAFI pulse calibration based on relative echo amplitudes is proposed.     

On certain regularities of the response of a medium upon generation of the triple frequency of a few-period laser pulse in the case of its passage through an optically thin nonlinear layer

The response of a medium at the triple frequency under the action of few-period laser pulses is considered within the framework of the thin-optical-layer approximation for the case where the triple frequency is close to the natural frequency of the linear oscillator. It is shown that a bistable dependence of the polarization amplitudes on the external action amplitude simultaneously appears at both the natural frequency and the frequency of the external action. This allows one, in particular, to reveal the presence of bistability of the regime of third harmonic generation in a physical experiment by using the transmitted radiation of the acting pulse. A decrease in the duration of the pulse incident on the medium leads to an increase in the hysteresis loops. The effect of the absolute phase of a short pulse on the spectral composition of the response of the medium is studied. For pulses of medium duration, in addition to the resonant response of the medium, the presence of the dynamic response of the medium at the triple frequency was revealed, despite a detuning of the latter from the resonance. The presence of this frequency in the spectrum of the response of the medium results in the dependence of the resonant response of the medium on the absolute phase even for a sufficiently long pulse containing tens oscillations of the electric field strength under the pulse envelope. To obtain the dynamics of the spectral lines from the results of computer simulation, the Fourier-Gabor method is used, the applicability of which is demonstrated by the comparison of the results obtained on its basis with the corresponding analytical dependences.

第二代(RE)BCO高温超导带可以进行切割和堆叠以形成叠层状的复合导体结构,具备磁化后捕获强磁场的潜力.脉冲磁化条件下,叠层导体会受到电-磁-热多物理场作用,易对高温超导带的力学稳定性造成不利影响.本文基于电磁场H格式和热传导方程对叠层导体进行了多场耦合建模分析,同时结合有限元方法,分析了圆柱形叠层导体脉冲磁化过程中的应力分布特性.结果显示,环向拉应力是叠层导体的主要破坏因素.环向应力的主导成分为热应力,其变化趋势与热应力变化高度吻合.热应力在叠层内部处于较低水平,表现为拉应力,沿半径逐渐变更为压缩应力,在边缘区域达到峰值-34 MPa,随后转变为拉应力,并在边界处达到峰值38 MPa,峰值时间点都位于升磁阶段,降磁阶段峰值不断降低.     

Variation in the magnetic structure of a single-domain particle ensemble and its response to an rf pulse

A set of equations in the Gilbert form that describes the motion of the magnetization vector in an ensemble of interacting magnetic nanoparticles is numerically solved for the case of high-amplitude rf pulses. Based on the numerical solution, the magnetic structure of spherical particle ensembles showing cubic anisotropy at certain parameters of the variable field is studied. This phenomenon is shown to have a threshold. The dependence of the field threshold amplitude on the acting pulse repetition rate and amount of magnetic interaction is determined. It is demonstrated that a change in the magnetic structure of the interacting particle ensembles causes a change in the spectrum of the response. This fact can be used for pulsed rf writing and readout of information based on ferromagnetic resonance.     

Exciting rogue waves,breathers, and solitons in coherent atomic media

We propose a scheme that excites rogue waves via electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT), which can also excite breathers and solitons. The system is a resonant Λ-type atomic ensemble. Under EIT conditions, the envelope equation of the probe field can be reduced to several different models, such as the saturable nonlinear Schr?dinger equation(SNLSE), and SNLSE with the trapping potential provided by a far-detuned laser field or a magnetic field. In this scheme, rogue waves can be generated by different initial pulses, such as the Gaussian wave with(or without) the uniform background. The scheme can be used to obtain rogue waves,breathers and solitons. We show the existence regions of rogue waves, breathers, and solitons as the function of the amplitude and width of the initial pulse. The novelty of our paper is that, we not only show rogue waves in the integrable system numerically, but also present the method to generate and control rogue waves in the non-integrable system.     

A comparative analysis of two methods of realizing elementary logic operators for a quantum computer on qutrits

In the present work, elementary logic operators (including selective rotation, Fourier transform, controlled phase shift, and controlled NOT operators) for a quantum computer on tristable systems (qutrits) are examined. Computer modeling of realization of these operators based on a system of two nuclear spins I = 1 is carried out by the methods of nuclear magnetic resonance. Two different methods of realizing the controlled NOT operator are presented: with the help of weak pulses of radio-frequency magnetic field selective in spin-spin interaction and with the help of strong pulses selective in quadrupole interaction. A dependence of realization errors on the interaction parameters, variable field amplitude, and pulse duration is calculated. Advantages and disadvantages of each method in the process of realization are indicated. __________ Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 6, pp. 41–47, June, 2007.     

Ultrashort optical pulses in two-level systems with Coulomb interaction and defects

The dynamics of an ultrashort optical pulse in an ensemble of two-level systems (in particular, in the presence of defects) is considered in the framework of the microscopic pseudospin formalism without limitation on the pulse power in the approximation of unidirectional propagation. The effective equations for the electric field amplitude and polarization of two-level systems are derived and solved numerically. Quasi-soliton modes of propagation of ultrashort optical pulses are revealed and the dependences on the macroscopic Hamiltonian parameters are analyzed. The effect of various types of defects on the propagation of ultrashort pulses is detected.     

纳秒脉冲下典型钳压型浪涌防护元件的响应特性

为研究以压敏电阻和瞬态抑制（TVS）二极管为代表的典型钳压型浪涌防护元件的纳秒脉冲响应特性,为电磁脉冲干扰防护元件的选型提供科学依据,分别基于百ns和2 ns上升前沿电磁脉冲直接注入的方式,实验测试并对比分析两类元件在不同脉冲上升沿时间、电压幅值等情况下的响应差异,并阐明产生过冲响应差异的物理机理。结果表明:两类防护元件的响应时间均与注入纳秒脉冲上升沿时间有关,且随着上升沿的增加而变长,其中TVS二极管在相同上升脉冲情况下具有更为敏感的响应速度;当注入脉冲电压幅值增加时,PN结热积累加快,击穿速度加快,元件响应时间更短,相比于TVS稳定的钳位幅值,压敏电阻在钳位幅值附近处振荡明显;当快速脉冲到达时,压敏电阻和TVS二极管响应曲线在钳位幅值稳定前均发生过冲现象,并且两类防护元件的过冲电压均随着注入脉冲幅值的增加而增加;尽管钳位电压幅值由自身防护特性决定,但在相同注入脉冲条件下,同类不同型号的防护元件过冲电压几乎相同,通常压敏电阻过冲电压小于钳位电压,而TVS二极管则相反,并且随着钳位幅值变小,过冲电压与钳位电压的比值变大,这意味着过冲现象对低压TVS二极管性能影响更为严重。     

The nuclear spin-echo signals under combined action of magnetic field and RF pulses

The effect of a pulse magnetic field on formation of the single-pulse echo signal in some magnetic materials has been studied. The signals of nuclear-spin echo formed by the combined action of radio frequency and magnetic pulses have been observed. The duration of the magnetic pulse was only limited by the length of the radio frequency pulse. The echo signal formed by the two magnetic pulses, the edges of a long magnetic pulse, and other situations that allowed us to reproduce the analogue of multipulse action, were observed as well.     

针对限制幅值磁共振脉冲的优化设计

在磁共振脉冲优化领域,优化脉冲普遍存在幅值过大的问题,这极大地限制了优化脉冲的使用范围。为了限制优化脉冲的幅值,扩大其应用范围,提出了一种基于L-BFGS-B数值算法的脉冲优化设计方法。首先基于Liouville-von Neuman方程,使用最优控制思想构建优化模型;然后使用L-BFGS-B算法,在限制幅值的条件下对优化模型进行数值迭代求解;最后以脉冲的激发效率以及激发轮廓的均匀性作为衡量优化脉冲优劣的标准对该方法进行仿真和实验验证。结果表明,采用该方法获得的优化脉冲在幅值被限制的前提下,仍能获得较传统磁共振脉冲更好的共振激发效果,进而增强信号的灵敏度,提高图像的质量。     

Dislocation-induced internal friction of a material with vacancies in weak magnetic field pulses

It is found that the form of the amplitude dependence of low-frequency internal friction in a quenched and aged aluminum sample (99.999% pure) changes under the effect of weak magnetic field pulses (H≥10⁵ A/m): the general level of internal friction increases. This effect is attributed to the influence of a magnetic field on the structural complex formed by a dislocation and point defects (the role of point defects is played by vacancies).     

Modelling of nonlinear effects and the response of ultrasound contrast micro bubbles: simulation and experiment

The propagation of diagnostic ultrasonic imaging pulses in tissue and their interaction with contrast micro bubbles is a very complex physical process, which we assumed to be separable into three stages: pulse propagation in tissue, the interaction of the pulse with the contrast bubble, and the propagation of the scattered echo. The model driven approach is used to gain better knowledge of the complex processes involved. A simplified way of field simulation is chosen due to the complexity of the task and the necessity to estimate comparative contributions of each component of the process. Simulations are targeted at myocardial perfusion estimation. A modified method for spatial superposition of attenuated waves enables simulations of low intensity pulse pressure fields from weakly focused transducers in a nonlinear, attenuating, and liquid-like biological medium. These assumptions enable the use of quasi-linear calculations of the acoustic field. The simulations of acoustic bubble response are carried out with the Rayleigh-Plesset equation with the addition of radiation damping. Theoretical simulations with synthesised and experimentally sampled pulses show that the interaction of the excitation pulses with the contrast bubbles is the main cause of nonlinear scattering, and a 2-3 dB increase of second harmonic amplitude depends on nonlinear distortions of the incident pulse.     

Coherent nonlinear interference effect for devices of long-term memory with femtosecond pulses

Computer simulation of the response (polarization) of three-level systems (for example, of quantum dots) with the common upper level (the Λ-scheme) was carried out for devices of long-term memory with femtosecond driving and signal pulses. For producing an efficient response, the pulse area should be on the order of π. Under the action of the first driving pulse on the 1–2 transition and the simultaneous action of the probe pulse on the 3–2 transition, a long-lived polarization with the lifetime dependent on the lifetimes of the lower (1 and 3) levels appears owing to the nonlinear interference effect. Under the action of the second driving pulse, a signal pulse appears on the 3–2 transition, whose amplitude is proportional to the amplitude of the input probe pulse and exponentially decreases with the delay time between the first and the second driving pulses. The set of equations for the density matrix was solved numerically in the semiclassical approximation and in the rotating wave approximation. The temporal evolution of the nondiagonal matrix elements reflects the temporal evolution of the nonlinear polarization. The polarization spectrum is found by the Fourier transform of the time dependence of the nondiagonal elements. The polarization spectrum (the power spectrum) possesses an interference structure with a fringe period governed by the delay time between the first and the second driving pulses. The inverse Fourier transform reconstructs the temporal shape of the pulses.     

Molecular dynamics investigation of soliton propagation in a two-dimensional Yukawa liquid

We investigate via molecular dynamics simulations the propagation of solitons in a two-dimensional many-body system characterized by Yukawa interaction potential. The solitons are created in an equilibrated system by the application of electric field pulses. Such pulses generate pairs of solitons, which are characterized by a positive and negative density peak, respectively, and which propagate into opposite directions. At small perturbation, the features propagate with the longitudinal sound speed, from which an increasing deviation is found at higher density perturbations. An external magnetic field is found to block the propagation of the solitons, which can, however, be released upon the termination of the magnetic field and can propagate further into directions that depend on the time of trapping and the magnetic field strength.

The influence of external magnetic field and femtosecond laser pulses on the anomalous Kerr loops in GdFeCo amorphous film

The anomalous loops obtained by applying the traditional Kerr loop technique, in which the sample was pumped by continuous pulses using the method of successive increment scanning external magnetic field, contained memory and accumulation effects originating, respectively, from external field history and multiple pulse excitations. To eliminate the memory effect and study the influence of external magnetic field on the anomalous loops, an initializing field scanning approach was used to replace the method of successive increment scanning external field. And to confirm the existence of accumulation effect and study the influence of pump pulses on the anomalous loops, a controllable pump-pulse-number magneto-optical Kerr technique was used to replace continuous pulses pump Kerr technique. In both ways, measured with different pump fluence and different pump pulses, the results showed clearly the dependence of the hot coercivity and the degree of magnetization reversal on the external field, pump pulse numbers and pump fluence.

Response of a magnetic nanoparticle lattice to a magnetic field pulse near the stability boundary

The dynamic response of a system being near the stable equilibrium boundary to an external magnetic field pulse is studied for 2D lattices of magnetic nanoparticles with cubic crystallographic anisotropy. The conditions under which magnetic moment oscillations from individual dipoles propagate to the entire system are revealed. This effect results in the lattice response are significantly larger in the external pulse duration and with an amplitude rather weakly depending on initial conditions and external field parameters, the processes during which the pulse results in reorientation of only individual lattice dipoles.
