Topological Structure of Knotted Vortex Lines in Liquid Crystals

In this paper, a novel decomposition expression for the U（1） gauge field in liquid crystals （LCs） is derived. Using this decomposition expression and the b-mapping topological current theory, we investigate the topological structure of the vortex lines in LCs in detail. A topological invariant, i.e., the Chern-Simons （CS） action for the knotted vortex lines is presented, and the CS action is shown to be the total sum of all the self-linking and linking numbers of the knot family. Moreover, it is pointed out that the CS action is preserved in the branch processes of the knotted vortex lines.

Comparative Investigation on the Excitation of Copper Emission Lines Between Argon and Helium Spark Discharge Plasmas

The emission intensities and the signal‐to‐background ratios (SBRs) of copper emission lines in the wavelength range 200–360 nm were observed from a medium‐voltage spark discharge plasma when argon or helium was employed as the surrounding gas. The observed copper spectra comprised Cu(I) lines having excitation energy of 3.8–9.3 eV, and Cu(II) lines assigned to three different transitions: 3d ⁸4p–3d ⁸4s transition (excitation energy of 8.2–9.2 eV), 3d ⁸5s–3d ⁸4p transition (13.4–13.6 eV), and the 3d ⁸4d–3d ⁸4p transition (14.2–14.8 eV). The Cu(I) lines have much smaller intensities in the helium plasma compared with the argon plasma, whereas the Cu(II) lines have similar intensities between both plasmas. The SBRs of some ionic copper lines are larger in the helium plasma compared with the argon plasma. Therefore, when an ionic line has to be measured in the analytical applications, the helium plasma should be recommended.     

Dust-Lower-Hybrid Surface Waves in Classical and Degenerate Plasmas

The dispersion relation for general dust low frequency electrostatic surface waves propagating on an interface between a magnetized dusty plasma region and a vacuum is derived by using specular reflection boundary conditions both in classical and quantum regimes. The frequency limit ωωci ωce is considered and the dispersion relation for the Dust-Lower-Hybrid Surface Waves(DLHSW's) is derived for both classical and quantum plasma half-space and analyzed numerically. It is shown that the wave behavior changes as the quantum nature of the problem is considered.

弱相互作用玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体中涡旋动力学与量子混沌轨道简

利用变分法和数值模拟方法,我们分别从解析上和数值上研究了弱相互作用玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体中不同涡旋蔟的动力学性质.借助玻姆量子力学中的方法,我们定义了相应量子流体中的量子轨道,并且研究了由于不同涡旋结构的存在而导致量子轨道出现混沌的性质.当存在一单涡旋,我们发现混沌轨道出现与否和涡旋轨道的形状紧密相关.此外,玻色凝聚体原子中的两体相互作用对各向异性谐振子势下涡旋对出现时量子轨道混沌的发生也具有重要的作用.因为这一非线性相互作用会破坏相应速度场的时间周期性.最后,在涡旋极子情形下,我们还讨论了由于涡旋相互激发或淹没的作用而导致规则岛膨胀的性质.这些规则区域镶嵌在一定的混沌海中.     

Dynamic Optical Vortex Trajectory Guided by the Symmetric Pearcey Gaussian Vortex Beam in the Uniformly Moving Parabolic Potential

This paper analytically and numerically proposes the propagation dynamics of the symmetric Pearcey Gaussian vortex beam (SPGVB) in the uniformly moving parabolic potential. The optical vortex located in the initial plane produces a vortex channel in the presence of the uniformly moving parabolic potential, called the vortex trajectory. The vortex trajectory can be manipulated dynamically by configuring different combinations of the parameters, and the optical intensity and the focal position can also be affected. Moreover, the spatial dynamic vortex trajectory is derived analytically, and the 2D on-axis and off-axis vortex scenarios are also presented. Our work expands the methods of the vortex trajectory manipulation and may broaden more practical potential applications in the particle manipulation.

Microwave Plasmas at Atmospheric Pressure

Microwave plasmas at atmospheric pressure are used for surface treatments like for example cleaning, sterilization or decontamination purposes, for a pre‐treatment to increase the adhesion of lacquer, paint, or glue, and for the deposition of different kind of layers and coatings. Micro plasma jets can also be applied for biomedical applications and for treatment of small and complex geometries like for example the inside of capillaries. Larger plasma torches which exhibit higher gas temperatures can also be used for chemical syntheses like waste gas decomposition, methane pyrolysis, or carbon dioxide dissociation and for plasma spraying purposes. In the present publication an overview on the development and the investigation of the operating principle of two atmospheric pressure microwave plasma torches at frequencies of 2.45 GHz and 915 MHz will be presented. The plasma sources are based on a cylindrical resonator combined with coaxial structures. To explain how these plasma sources work, simulations of the electric field distribution will be discussed. Furthermore, some physical characteristics of an air and an Ar/H2 atmospheric plasma like gas temperatures, excitation temperatures and densities as well as the heating of the plasma by the microwave will be investigated.

Bifurcation of Vortex Density Current in Trapped Bose Condensates

Vortex density current in the Gross-Pitaevskii theory is studied. It is shown that the inner structure of the topological vortices can be classified by Brouwer degrees and Hopf indices of φ-mapping. The dynamical equations of vortex density current have been given. The bifurcation behavior at the critical points of the current is discussed in detail.     

Vortex quasi-crystals in mesoscopic superconducting samples

There seems to be a one to one correspondence between the phases of atomic and molecular matter(AMOM) and vortex matter(VM) in superfluids and superconductors. Crystals, liquids, and glasses have been experimentally observed in both AMOM and VM. Here, we propose a vortex quasi-crystal state which can be stabilized due to boundary and surface energy effects for samples of special shapes and sizes. For finite sized pentagonal samples, it is proposed that a phase transition between a vortex crystal and a vortex quasi-crystal occurs as a function of magnetic field and temperature as the sample size is reduced.     

Topological Structure of Chern-Simons Vortex

Based on the gauge potential decomposition theory and the φ-mapping method, the topological inner structure of the Chern-Sirnons-Higgs vortex has been studied strictly. It is shown that there exits a multi-charged vortex at every zero point of the Higgs scalar field φ. The multivortex solutions in the Chern-Simons-Higgs model are obtained strictly.     

Shocks and Solitons in Ultradense Degenerate Electron-Positron-Ion Plasmas

The formation and propagation of shocks and solitons are investigated in anunmagnetized, ultradense plasma containing degenerate Fermi gas of electrons and positrons, and classical ion gas by employing Thomas-Fermi model. For this purpose, a deformed Korteweg-de Vries-Berger (dKdVB) equation is derived using the reductive perturbative technique for cold, adiabatic, and isothermal ions. Localized analytical solutions of dKdVB equation in planar geometry are obtained for dispersion as well as dissipation dominant cases. For nonplanar (cylindrical and spherical) geometry, time varying numerical shock wave solution of dKdVB equation is found. Its dispersion dominant case leading to the soliton solution is also discussed. The effect of ion temperature, positron concentration and dissipation is found significant on these nonlinear structures. The relevance of the results to the systems of scientific interest is pointed out.     

Topological Structure of Vortex Solution in Jackiw-Pi Model

By using o-mapping method, we discuss the topological structure of the self-duality solution in Jackiw-Pi model in terms of gauge potential decomposition. We set up relationship between Chern-Simons vortex solution and topological number, which is determined by Hopf index and Brouwer degree. We also give the quantization of flux in this case. Then, we study the angular momentum of the vortex, which can be expressed in terms of the flux.

电子型FeSe基高温超导体的磁通束缚态与Majorana零能模

作为凝聚态物理中一类新奇准粒子态,Majorana零能模(Majorana zero mode)由于可用来实现拓扑量子计算而成为当前的研究热点.理论预言,Majorana零能模可作为特殊的束缚态出现在一些拓扑超导体的磁通涡旋中.但实际超导体磁通中还可能存在其他低能束缚态或杂质态,这给Majorana零能模的辨别和具体应用带来了困难.目前实验上寻找合适的拓扑超导体系、分辨出清晰的Majorana零能模仍然是十分迫切的.本文主要介绍最近利用高能量分辨的扫描隧道显微镜,对电子掺杂铁硒类超导体(Li,Fe)OHFeSe和单层FeSe/SrTiO3磁通态进行的研究.实验上在前者的自由磁通中观测到清晰的零能模,并进一步测量到Majorana零能模的重要特征—量子化电导.而在后者磁通中只发现常规Caroli-de Gennes-Matricon(CdGM)束缚态,反映出s波对称性的特征.这系列实验既为Majorana零能模物性的进一步研究提供了合适平台,也为澄清铁基超导体中拓扑超导电性的来源提供了线索.     

Polarized Debye Sheath in Degenerate Plasmas

The force on a charged dust grain in a plasma due to polarization of thermal ions and degenerate electrons around the grain is derived in the limits of weakly relativistic and ultra-relativistic degeneracy of electrons. It is found that in both these cases, the magnitude of the polarization force is enhanced compared to that in classical plasmas. The influence of this force on dust-acoustic(DA) modes is examined and discussed. It is shown that the DA wave frequency in degenerate plasmas is significantly reduced compared to the classical DA mode.     

Vortex of Fluid Field as Viewed from Curvature

The vortex is a common phenomenon in fluid field. In this paper, vortex can be represented by curvature c, which varies with arc length s. The variance of point (x,y) with arc length in stream line satisfies a 2-order variable-coefficient linear ordinary differential equation. The type vortex can be analyzed qualitatively by this ordinary differential equation.
