基片温度对SiNx薄膜结晶状态及机械性能的影响

利用微波电子回旋共振增强磁控反应溅射法在不同基片温度下制备无氢SiNx薄膜.通过傅里叶变换红外光谱、透射电子显微镜、台阶仪、纳米硬度仪等表征技术,研究了基片温度对SiNx薄膜结晶状态、晶粒尺寸、晶体取向等结晶性能以及薄膜的生长速率、硬度等机械性能的影响,并探讨了薄膜结晶性能与机械性能之间的关系.研究结果表明,在基片温度低于300℃时制备的SiNx薄膜以非晶状态存在,硬度值仅为18 GPa左右;基片温度在320-620℃范围内,SiNx薄膜中出现纳米晶粒,且晶粒尺寸随沉积温度的增加而增加,在沉积温度为620℃时达到最大,为20±1.5 nm;当沉积温度为700℃时,SiN<,x>薄膜的晶粒尺寸突然减小,但由于此时晶粒密度为最大,因此薄膜硬度达到最大值(36.7 GPa).     

Average kinetic energy of ions ejected from pure Coulomb explosions of methane clusters

We use an electrostatic model to study the average kinetic energy of ions ejected from the pure Coulomb explosions of methane clusters (CA4)n (light atom A=H and D). It is found that the ratio of the average kinetic energy of the ions to their initial average electrostatic potential energy is irrelevant to the cluster size. This finding implies that as long as the ratio is given, the average kinetic energies of the ions can be simply estimated from their initial average electrostatic potential energies, rather than from the time- consuming simulations. The ratios for the different charge states of carbon ions are presented.     

Synchronization transition in gap-junction-coupled leech neurons

Real neurons can exhibit various types of firings including tonic spiking, bursting as well as silent state, which are frequently observed in neuronal electrophysiological experiments. More interestingly, it is found that neurons can demonstrate the co-existing mode of stable tonic spiking and bursting, which depends on initial conditions. In this paper, synchronization in gap-junction-coupled neurons with co-existing attractors of spiking and bursting firings is investigated as the coupling strength gets increased. Synchronization transitions can be identified by means of the bifurcation diagram and the correlation coefficient. It is illustrated that the coupled neurons can exhibit different types of synchronization transitions between spiking and bursting when the coupling strength increases. In the course of synchronization transitions, an intermittent synchronization can be observed. These results may be instructive to understand synchronization transitions in neuronal systems.     

Instability-free ion acceleration by two laser pulses

We demonstrate the instability-free ion acceleration regime by introducing laser control with two parallel circularly polarized laser pulses at an intensity of I = 6.8 × 10²¹?W/cm², normally incident on a hydrogen foil. The special structure of the equivalent wave front of those two pulses, which contains Gaussian peaks in both sides and a concavity in the centre (2D), can suppress the transverse instabilities and hole boring effects to constrain a high density ion clump in the centre of the foil, leading to an acceleration over a long distance and gain above 1GeV/u for the ion bunches.     

有距离辨识度的传声器阵列波束优化算法研究*

小尺度线性传声器阵列在便携式通信设备中具有潜在应用前景,其波束优化算法大多关注于抑制来自与声源不同方向的噪声,而不能有效地抑制与声源同方向的噪声。本文通过对几种典型波束优化策略进行改进,增加线性约束条件,使得阵列兼具方向和距离辨识度。论文对比了几种优化方法的波束性能,同时讨论了约束条件对波束旁瓣的影响,并提出了鲁棒性的优化方案。仿真结果显示,合理的优化策略和线性约束条件可以使阵列波束获得很好的聚焦性能。     

Adiabatic approximation in PT-symmetric quantum mechanics

In this paper, we present a quantitative sufficient condition for adiabatic approximation in PT-symmetric quantum mechanics, which yields that a state of the PT-symmetric quantum system at any time will remain approximately in the m-th eigenstate up to a multiplicative phase factor whenever it is initially in the m-th eigenstate of the Hamiltonian. In addition, we estimate the approximation errors by the distance and the fidelity between the exact solution and the adiabatic approximate solution to the time evolution equation, respectively.

Optical low-coherence reflectometry with resolution beyond the Fourier transform limit

We demonstrate experimentally and theoretically a method for enhancing the axial resolution of optical low-coherence reflectometry (OLCR) beyond the Fourier transform limit of light source spectrum. The resolution enhancement originates from the superposition of multiple OLCR scans with different offsets of the center-wavelength light-ray with respect to the rotation axis of the mirror mounted on the galvanometer optical scanner in the used optical phase delay line. After certain software process of the multiple scan fringe patterns of different offsets, the superposition leads to an OLCR axial resolution beyond the transform limit. Experimentally, by using four different offsets for superposition, about 1.5 times enhancement of the transform-limit resolution is obtained.     

Fabrication of a curved linear grating by using a laser direct writer system

We present the lithography technique to fabricate a curved linear grating by using a Cartesian coordinates laser direct writer (LDW) system. The grating with the period of 15 μm is made on the convex lens surface. This is a new application of the LDW system. After the chromium coating and the photoresist removing procedures, a convex reflecting grating is obtained.     

RF and field measurements of the SSC-LINAC RFQ

The 53.667 MHz continuous-wave heavy ion RFQ has been designed and manufactured for the SSC-LINAC project.This four-rod RFQ accelerates ions with maximum mass to charge ratio of 7 from 3.728 keV/u to 143 keV/u.Measurements have been carried out to check the RF performance of the cavity and the quality of the electric field.The S11 of the power coupler is adjusted to better than-44 dB,and the Q0 of the cavity is 6440.The quality of the electric field is evaluated by the perturbation method.The measurement procedure and data analysis will be discussed in detail.The error due to gravity of the perturbation bead has been corrected by averaging the fields in different quadrants.As a result,the unflatness of the electric field is±2.5%,and the dipole field component distributes from 0%to 20%in different longitudinal positions,which indicates the asymmetry of the quadrupole field.The unflatness of the quadrupole field distribution represents a good agreement with the simulation results.High power RF test and beam commissioning of the RFQ are on schedule in early 2014.
