We investigate one-dimensional nonlinear photonic crystals consisting of ferroelectric domains with the modulated polarization directions. Significant enhancement of second harmonic generation (SHG) is observed from numerical simulations when the frequency of fundamental wave is aimed at the photonic band edge. We devise the model structure with optimal configuration of the polarization directions of the ferroelectric domains in terms of simulated annealing algorithm. The conversion efficiencies of the ‘forward’ and ‘backward’ SHGs can be engineered. 相似文献

Two-dimensional ‘hat-scratch’ structures are fabricated on silica glass by the interference of three non-coplanar beams originating from a single femtosecond laser pulse. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) characterizations show that the as-formed structures are composed of hat holes and scratch marks. The experimental results indicate that the structures are dependent on the intensity of laser beam. The formation of the two-dimensional ‘hat-scratch’ structures is mainly due to the combined laser ablation effects including ionization, shock wave, plasma expansion, and phase explosion. 相似文献

At singular points of a wave field, where the amplitude vanishes, the phase may become singular and wavefront dislocation may occur. In this Letter we investigate for wave fields in one spatial dimension the appearance of these essentially linear phenomena. We introduce the Chu-Mei quotient as it is known to appear in the ‘nonlinear dispersion relation’ for wave groups as a consequence of the nonlinear transformation of the complex amplitude to real phase-amplitude variables. We show that unboundedness of this quotient at a singular point, related to unboundedness of the local wavenumber and frequency, is a generic property and that it is necessary for the occurrence of phase singularity and wavefront dislocation, while these phenomena are generic too. We also show that the ‘soliton on finite background’, an explicit solution of the NLS equation and a model for modulational instability leading to extreme waves, possesses wavefront dislocations and unboundedness of the Chu-Mei quotient. 相似文献

We present a theory of non-solar cosmic rays (CRs) in which the bulk of their observed flux is due to a single type of CR source at all energies. The total luminosity of the Galaxy, the broken power-law spectra with their observed slopes, the position of the ‘knee(s)’ and ‘ankle’, and the CR composition and its variation with energy are all predicted in terms of very simple and completely ‘standard’ physics. The source of CRs is extremely ‘economical’: it has only one parameter to be fitted to the ensemble of all of the mentioned data. All other inputs are ‘priors’, that is, theoretical or observational items of information independent of the properties of the source of CRs, and chosen to lie in their pre-established ranges. The theory is part of a ‘unified view of high-energy astrophysics’ — based on the ‘Cannonball’ model of the relativistic ejecta of accreting black holes and neutron stars. The model has been extremely successful in predicting all the novel properties of Gamma Ray Bursts recently observed with the help of the Swift satellite. If correct, this model is only lacking a satisfactory theoretical understanding of the ‘cannon’ that emits the cannonballs in catastrophic processes of accretion. 相似文献

Branching structures in nanometer level are of great importance in developing nanoscale science and functional electrical devices. In this letter, multidimensional magnesium oxide structures with cone-shaped branching have been mass-produced using a simple chemical vapor deposition method. The dominant structures in the product include two-dimensional ‘+’, ‘T’, or ‘Γ’ assemblies, and three-dimensional complex configurations. The results presented here enrich the nanoscale community with new basic materials for the fabrication of functional electrical and chemical sensing devices. 相似文献

Nanoindentation studies are carried out on epitaxial ZnO and GaN thin films on (0 0 0 1) sapphire and silicon substrates, respectively. A single discontinuity (‘pop-in’) in the load-indentation depth curve is observed for ZnO and GaN films at a specific depths of 13-16 and 23-26 nm, respectively. The physical mechanism responsible for the ‘pop-in’ event in these epitaxial films may be due to the interaction behavior of the indenter tip with the pre-existing threading dislocations present in the films during mechanical deformation. It is observed that the ‘pop-in’ depth is dependent on lattice mismatch of the epitaxial thin film with the substrate, the higher the lattice mismatch the shallower the critical ‘pop-in’ depth. 相似文献

Conductance through a system consisting of a wire with side-attached quantum dots is calculated. Such geometry of the device allows to study the coexistence of quantum interference, electron correlations and their influence on conductance. We underline the differences between ‘classical’ Fano resonance in which the resonant channel is of single-particle nature and ‘many-body’ Fano resonance with the resonant channel formed by Kondo effect. The influence of electron-electron interactions on the Fano resonance shape is also analyzed. 相似文献

The most common nonlinear equation of motion for the damped pulsation of a spherical gas bubble in an infinite body of liquid is the Rayleigh-Plesset equation, expressed in terms of the dependency of the bubble radius on the conditions pertaining in the gas and liquid (the so-called ‘radius frame’). However over the past few decades several important analyses have been based on a heuristically derived small-amplitude expansion of the Rayleigh-Plesset equation which considers the bubble volume, instead of the radius, as the parameter of interest, and for which the dissipation term is not derived from first principles. So common is the use of this equation in some fields that the inherent differences between it and the ‘radius frame’ Rayleigh-Plesset equation are not emphasised, and it is important in comparing the results of the two equations to understand that they differ both in terms of damping, and in the extent to which they neglect higher order terms. This paper highlights these differences. Furthermore, it derives a ‘volume frame’ version of the Rayleigh-Plesset equation which contains exactly the same basic physics for dissipation, and retains terms to the same high order, as does the ‘radius frame’ Rayleigh-Plesset equation. Use of this equation will allow like-with-like comparisons between predictions in the two frames. 相似文献

The demonstration of a multi-atom quantum point contact relay is reported, which can be reversibly switched between a quantized conducting ‘on-state’ and an insulating ‘off-state’ by applying an electrochemical control potential to a separate, third electrode, the control or gate electrode. The transition occurs directly from the conducting ‘on-state’ at 5 G0 (G0=2e2/h being the conductance quantum) to the insulating ‘off-state’. No stable intermediate levels are observed during the switching process, indicating a reproducible bistable reconfiguration of one single multi-atom contact rather than a deposition and dissolution of different parallel contacts. The results at the same time demonstrate the feasibility and reproducible operation of a configurable electronic device based on a multi-atom contact, which exhibits the functionality of an atomic relay or a transistor, opening intriguing perspectives for electronics and logics on the atomic scale. 相似文献

Fano lineshapes in resonant transmission in a quantum dot imply interference between localized and extended states. The influence of the charge accumulated at the localized levels, which screens the external gate voltage acting on the conduction channel is investigated. The modified Fano q parameter and the resonant conduction is derived starting from a microscopic Hamiltonian. The latest experiments on ‘charge sensing’ and ‘Coulomb modified Fano sensing’ compare well with the results of the present model. 相似文献

We discuss the origin of the intrinsic visible band emission of ABO3 perovskite oxides (so-called ‘green luminescence’) which remains a topic of high interest during the last quarter of the century. We present a theoretical calculation modelling of this emission in the framework of a concept of charge transfer vibronic excitons [Phys. Solid State, 40 (1998) 834], i.e. as a result of radiative recombination of correlated (bound) self-trapped electron and hole polarons in the highly polarizable ABO3-type matrix. The Intermediate Neglect of Differential Overlap method combined with the Large Unit Cell periodic defect model was used for quantum chemical calculations and theoretical simulation of the green emission for a series of model ABO3 perovskites. The ‘green’ luminescence energies for PbTiO3, SrTiO3, BaTiO3, KNbO3 and KTaO3 perovskite-type crystals agree well with those experimentally observed earlier. 相似文献

We discuss a comprehensive scheme for modeling various highly resolved spectroscopies of the cuprates where effects of matrix element, crystal structure, strong electron correlations, and superconductivity are included realistically in material-specific detail. A number of illustrative examples drawn from our recent work are presented. Specific issues in the cuprate physics considered are: (i) Origin of high-energy kink or the waterfall effect; (ii) Dichroic effects in angle-resolved photoemission spectrum; (iii) Asymmetry of the scanning tunneling spectrum between the processes of electron extraction and injection; (iv) Persistence of ‘Mott’ like high-energy features with doping in optical spectra; (v) Magnetic excitations in electron and hole doped cuprates. 相似文献

In this Letter, an inverse scattering method is developed for the isospectral Vakhnenko equation, and the general N-solution is presented. Using this technique, a typical self-confined solitary wave hereafter named soliton, satisfying some vanishing boundary conditions is elicited. The detail on the scattering behavior of such structures including their phase shifts is outlined. This method is presented to be arguably more simple, tractable and straightforward than that recently investigated by Vakhnenko and Parkes [V.O. Vakhnenko, E.J. Parkes, Chaos Solitons Fractals 13 (2002) 1819] while solving the same equation. As a result, it is shown that when two single soliton solutions with ‘similar’ or ‘dissimilar’ amplitudes collide, there may be two types of features depending on the ratio of the two eigenvalues involved. It is then suggested an existence of some critical value for the ratio of the two eigenvalues at which the collision process changes its characteristic features. 相似文献

Results of the investigation of transverse magnetoresistance temperature dependences in a single-crystal Cd specimen of orientation in the 8 T magnetic field has lead to the discovery of the temperature breakdown effect in the direction. It has been established, that phonons with wave vector, which width is equal or larger than the minimal distance between the contingent Fermi surface sheets, are needed for the implementation of this effect. Realization of this condition is possible only in the area of the maximal contingence of a ‘packet’ and the ‘monster’ corrugated cylinder of the second Brillouin zone on the upper hexagonal AHL plane. 相似文献

EPR probed the zincblende (γ) to cubic (α) AgI structural phase transition in AgI at 423 K through two intrinsic paramagnetic centers: an Ag2+-based hole center (signal ‘A’) and an Ag0-based conduction electron center (signal ‘B’) associated with AgI nanocrystallites. Sudden drops in intensity (IPP), <g>, and ΔHPP observed at 423 K for pure AgI nanocrystals. Addition of Cu in AgI increases the thermal stability of the cation sublattice as seen from the increase in the transition temperature from 423 K (undoped AgI) to 453 K. Abrupt jumps in the number of spins (N) and reciprocal susceptibility (1/χ) observed at increased phase transition temperatures in Cu-substituted AgI relative to that in undoped AgI reflects progressively strengthened local bonding configuration of γ-AgI structure induced by Cu. 相似文献

We analyse in detail the reshaping mechanism leading to apparently ‘superluminal’ advancement of a wave packet traversing a classically forbidden region. In the coordinate representation, a barrier is shown to act as an effective beamsplitter, recombining envelopes of the freely propagating pulse with various spacial shifts. Causality ensures that none of the constituent envelopes are advanced with respect to free propagation, yet the resulting pulse is advanced due to a peculiar interference effect, similar to the one responsible for ‘anomalous’ values which occur in Aharonov’s ‘weak measurements’. In the momentum space, the effect is understood as a bandwidth phenomenon, where the incident pulse probes local, rather than global, analytical properties of the transmission amplitude T(p). The advancement is achieved when T(p) mimics locally an exponential behaviour, similar to the one occurring in Berry’s ‘superoscillations’. Seen in a broader quantum mechanical context, the ‘paradox’ is but a consequence of an attempt to obtain ‘which way?’ information without destroying the interference between the pathways of interest. This explains, to a large extent, the failure to adequately describe tunnelling in terms of a single ‘tunnelling time’. 相似文献

In this paper, via the extended tanh-function approach, the abundant exact solutions for discrete complex cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation, including chirpless bright soliton, chirpless dark soliton, constant magnitude solution (plane wave solution), triangular function solutions and some solutions with alternating phases, etc. are obtained. Meanwhile, the range of parameters where some exact solution exist are given. Among these solutions, solutions with alternating phases do not have continuous analogs. Moreover, in the lattice, the points of singularity of tan-type and sec-type solutions can be ‘between sites’ and thus the singularities can be avoided. 相似文献

Double-layered manganite La2−2xCa1+2xMn2O7 have been synthesized for compositions ‘x’=0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 by solid state reaction method. From X-ray diffraction study, their crystal structures were found to be tetragonal perovskite with lattice parameters decreasing with increasing ‘x’. The decreasing lattice parameters affect the balance between in-plane, intra-bilayer and inter-bilayer exchange interactions, which is reflected on magnetotransport properties. The metal-to-insulator transition temperature is found to vary with composition and peaked around ‘x’=0.3. From ac-susceptibility study, 2D-ferromagnetic ordering was observed at higher temperatures for all compositions whereas 3D-ferromagnetic ordering was observed at quite low temperatures. In low-temperature region, decreasing susceptibility shows antiferromagnetic state for all compositions. On the basis of electrical and magnetic properties, a magnetic phase diagram is given. 相似文献

We propose a route for the evaluation of risk based on a transformation of the covariance matrix. The approach uses a ‘potential’ or ‘objective’ function. This allows us to rescale data from different assets (or sources) such that each data set then has similar statistical properties in terms of their probability distributions. The method is tested using historical data from both the New York and Warsaw stock exchanges. 相似文献

We reconstruct a test wave function in a strongly coupled, graded well-width superlattice by resolving the spatial extension of the interband polarisation and deducing the wave function employing non-linear optical spectroscopy. The graded gap superlattice allows us to precisely control the distance between test and probe wave functions. By spatially tuning one wave function with respect to the other and recording the amplitude and the sign of the modulation of the spectrally resolved four-wave-mixing (FWM) signal with respect to delay, we are able to reconstruct the test wave function. Our numerical simulation of the third-order response of an inhomogeneously broadened system reproduces the experimental data in great detail. The wave function used for the modelling is computed by a one-dimensional transfer matrix model including electron–hole Coulomb interaction. Our experimental scheme inherently allows us to quantitatively distinguish between non-linear mechanisms leading to the FWM signal, namely phase-space filling and excitation-induced dephasing.
