Correlative Collapses and Revivals in Two Trapped Ions

An analytic solution is presented for two trapped ions resonantly interacting with laser beams to the first red side-band of the centre-of-mass mode,in the Lamb-Dicke regime and under the rotating wave approximation.This shows the existence of correlative quantum collapses and revivals for the occupation of two atoms.     

Self—Consistent Description of nitrogen dc Glow Discharge

A self-consistent hybrid Monte Carlo Fluid model is presented to describe the nitrogen dc glow discharge.The movement of fast electrons is simulated by the Monte Carlo method while the dynamics of slow electrons and ions is by fluid equations.The spatial features of the charged species and the corresponding electric field throughout the discharge have been calculated,which include the creation rates of ions and slow electrons,densities of the charged species,the electric field and the potential distribution.These closely related results can give a selfconsistent explanation of the discharge characteristics throughout the space of nitrogen dc glow discharge.The calculated ion density is also compared with the corresponding experimental result.     

Effects of Magnetic Field on the Valence Bond Property of the Double—Quantum—Dot Molecule

The effects of the magnetic field on the valence bond property of the double-quantum-dot molecule are numerically studied by the finite element method and perturbation approach because of the absence of cylindrical symmetry in the horizontally coupled dots.The calculation results show that the energy value of the ground state changes differently from that of the first excited state with increasing magnetic field strength,and they cross under a certain magnetic field.The increasing magnetic field makes the covalent bond state change into an ionic bond state,which agrees qualitatively with experimental results and and makes ionic bond states remain.The oscillator strength of transition between covalent bond states decreases distinctly with the increasing magnetic field strength,when the molecule is irradiated by polarized light.Such a phenomenon is possibly useful for actual applications.     

Schottky Barrier Height Inhomogeneity of Ti／n—GaAs Contact Studied by the I—V—T Technique

The current-voltage characteristics of Ti/n-GaAs Schottky diodes measured over a temperature range of 78-299K have been interpreted on the basis of thermionic emission across an inhomogeneous Schottky contact.The experiment shows that the apparent barrier height (φap) increases from 0.437eV at 78K to 0.698eV at room temperature.the plot of φap versus 1/T does not exhibit a simple linear relationship over the whole temperature range,indicating that the barrier height distribution is more complicated than the frequently observed single Gaussian distribution.A new multi-Gaussian distribution model is developed.Our experimental results can be explained by a double Gaussian distribution of the barrier heights.The weight,the mean barrier height,and the standard deviation of the two Gaussian functions are 0.00001 and 0.99999,0.721 and 0.696,0.069 and 0.012eV,respectively.     

Exciton—Phonon Scattering in CdSe／ZnSe Quantum Dots

A temperature-dependent photoluminescence measurement is performed in CdSe/ZnSe quantum dots with a ZnCdSe quantum well.We deduce the temperature dependence of the exciton linewidth and peak energy of the zero-dimensional exciton in the quantum dots and two-dimensional exciton in the CdSe wetting layer.The experimental data reveal a reduction of homogeneous broadening of the exciton line in the quantum dots in comparison with that in the two-dimensional wetting layer,which indicates the decrease of exciton and optical phonon coupling in the CdSe quantum dots.     

Nonlocality Property of Three—Mode Correlated Fields

Four three-mode correlated states are generated by two beam splitters.We show that,by means of parity measurement,those light fields exhibit the nonlocality represented by the violation of the Bell inequality.The conditions fo the maximum violation are also studied.     

Theoretical Study of the Opacity for Mixture Materials at High Temperatures

Using a detailed configuration accounting model with term structures treated by the umresolved transition array model,we have extensively investigated the opacitiesof mixture materials.For plasmas at the temperature of 250 eV and density of 1 g/cm^3,our calculated Rosseland mean opacities are in good agreement with other theoretical results.A high increase in the Rosseland mean opacity to 2944cm^2/g is achieved for a multi-element mixture compared to the value of 1729cm^2/g for pure gold.Various mixtures at other plasma conditions are also studied.     

In—Plane Propagation of Cavity Polaritons in a Quantum Semiconductor Microcavity

Considering that the coupling among the heavy-hole exciton,light-hole exciton and the cavity photon can form bipolaritons in a quantum semiconductor microcavity,we calculate the group velocities of the cavity polaritons at different incident angles using the coupling model of three harmonic oscillators.The result indicates that the group velocities of the low and middle branches of the cavity polaritons have extrema,but the group velocities of the high branch increase with the increasing incident angle.     

Effect of N2 Plasma Annealing of Properties of Fluoring Doped Silicon Dioxide Films with Low Dielectric Constant for Ultra—Large—Scale Integrated Circuits

The influence of N2 plasma annealing on the properties of fluorine doped silicon oxide (SiOF) films is investigated.The stability of the Dielectric constant of SiOF film is remarkably improved by the N2 plasma annealing.After enduring a moisture absorption test for six hours in a chamber with 60% humidity at 50℃,the dielectric constant variation of the annealed SiOF films is only 1.5%,while the variation for those SiOF films without annealing is 15.5%.Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic results show that the absorption peaks of Si-OH and H-OH of SiOF films are reduced after the N2 plasma annealing because the annealing can wipe off some unstable Si-F2 bonds in SiOF films.These Unstable Si-F2 bonds are suitable to react with water,resulting in the degradation of SiOF film properties.Therefore,the N2 plasma annealing meliorates the properties of SiOF films with low dielectric constant.     

Moist Potential Vorticity Anomaly with Heat and Mass Forcings in Torrential Rain Systems

The moist potential vorticity (MPV) equation is derived from complete atmospheric dynamic equations with both heat and mass forcings,with which the impermeability theorem of the “MPV substance” is proven.It is clarified that both heat and mass forcings induced by the intensive precipitation in torrential rain systems can lead to the MPV anomaly.The MPV substance anomaly is a dynamical tracer for tracking a torrential rain system.
