The distance coloring of graphs

Let G be a connected graph with maximum degree Δ≥ 3.We investigate the upper bound for the chromatic number χγ(G) of the power graph Gγ.It was proved that χγ(G) ≤Δ(Δ-1)γ-1Δ-2+ 1 =:M + 1,where the equality holds if and only if G is a Moore graph.If G is not a Moore graph,and G satisfies one of the following conditions:(1) G is non-regular,(2) the girth g(G) ≤ 2γ- 1,(3)g(G) ≥ 2γ + 2,and the connectivity κ(G) ≥ 3 if γ≥ 3,κ(G) ≥ 4 but g(G) 6 if γ = 2,(4) Δis sufficiently larger than a given number only depending on γ,then χγ(G) ≤ M- 1.By means of the spectral radius λ1(G) of the adjacency matrix of G,it was shown that χ2(G) ≤λ1(G)2+ 1,where the equality holds if and only if G is a star or a Moore graph with diameter 2 and girth 5,and χγ(G)λ1(G)γ+1 ifγ≥3.     

High-Q exterior whispering-gallery modes in a metal-coated microresonator

We propose a kind of plasmonic whispering-gallery mode highly localized on the exterior surface of a metal-coated microresonator. This exterior (EX) surface mode possesses high quality factors at room temperature, and can be efficiently excited by a tapered fiber. The EX mode can couple to an interior (IN) mode and this coupling produces a strong anticrossing behavior, which not only allows conversion of IN to EX modes, but also forms a long-lived antisymmetric mode. As a potential application, the EX mode could be used for a biosensor with a sensitivity high of up to 500 nm per refraction index unit, a large figure of merit, and a wide detection range.     

Observation of a red-blue detuning asymmetry in matter-wave superradiance

We report the first experimental observation of strong suppression of matter-wave superradiance using blue-detuned pump light and demonstrate a pump-laser detuning asymmetry in the collective atomic recoil motion. In contrast to all previous theoretical frameworks, which predict that the process should be symmetric with respect to the sign of the detuning of the pump laser from the one-photon resonance, we find that for condensates the symmetry is broken. With high condensate densities and red-detuned pump light the distinctive multiorder, matter-wave scattering pattern is clearly visible, whereas with blue-detuned pump light superradiance is strongly suppressed. However, in the limit of a dilute atomic gas symmetry is restored.     

Spectral studies on erbium doped potassium lithium tantalate niobate single crystal grown by the step-cooling technique

An erbium doped K_0.603Li_0.397Ta_0.428Nb_0.572O₃ single crystal was grown by the step-cooling technique. The crystal has a tetragonal tungsten bronze-type structure at room temperature with a Curie temperature of 303°C. There are Er ions characteristic absorption bands around 449, 485, 521, 550, and 652 nm in the visible absorption spectrum. Upconversion fluorescence spectra and power dependence centered at 527 nm, 548 nm, and 660 nm under 975 nm excitation were measured at room temperature. Decay lifetimes of the 548 nm and 660 nm emission bands are 281 μs and 420 μs, respectively. The lifetime of the 548 nm emission corresponding to the transition of ?⁴ S _3/2→⁴ I _15/2 is ten times the lifetime of the same transition of Er³⁺ in LiNbO₃ crystal and twice in KYb(WO₄)₂ crystal. The crystal might become a promising upconversion laser material. The upconversion mechanism of Er³⁺ in the sample was discussed based on decay curves and pump power dependence analyses in this work.     

Stress evolution and lattice distortion induced by thickness variation and lattice misfit in La0.67Sr0.33MnO3−δ films

La_0.67Sr_0.33MnO_3?δ thin films with different thicknesses are prepared in order to investigate the structural variation induced by film thickness and lattice misfit. The X-ray diffraction results show the in-built stress evolution from a full strained thin layer (～10 nm) to a completely relaxed thick layer (～150 nm), which can be well explained by the Poisson effect. Raman spectroscopy measurements reveal the complicated correlation between the Jahn–Teller (JT) distortion and film thickness. Important octahedron modes reflecting JT distortion are completely caused by the relaxed layer. It is observed that broad JT bands are formed in the films with large thickness of the relaxed layer and the residual stress in the layer leads to an obvious blue shift. In contrast, for films with the thin relaxed layer, JT modes are present as a sharper structure and move to low frequency, indicating towards a much better oxygen stoichiometry.

A coupled-channel lattice study of the resonance-like structure Zc(3900)

In this exploratory study, near-threshold scattering of D and \begin{document}$\bar{D}^*$\end{document} meson is investigated using lattice QCD with \begin{document}$N_f=2+1+1$\end{document} twisted mass fermion configurations. The calculation is performed in the coupled-channel Lüscher finite-size formalism. The study focuses on the channel with \begin{document}$I^G(J^{PC})=1^+(1^{+-})$\end{document} where the resonance-like structure \begin{document}$Z_c(3900)$\end{document} was discovered. We first identify the two most relevant channels and the lattice study is performed in the two-channel scattering model. Combined with the two-channel Ross-Shaw theory, scattering parameters are extracted from the energy levels by solving the generalized eigenvalue problem. Our results for the scattering length parameters suggest that for the particular lattice parameters that we studied, the best fit parameters do not correspond to the peak in the elastic scattering cross-section near the threshold. Furthermore, in the zero-range Ross-Shaw theory, the scenario of a narrow resonance close to the threshold is disfavored beyond the 3\begin{document}$\sigma$\end{document} level.     

Generation and storage of double slow light pulses in a solid

We experimentally study the generation and storage of double slow light pulses in a Pr³⁺:Y₂SiO₅ crystal. Under electromagnetically induced transparency, a single signal pulse is stored in the spin coherence of the crystal. By simultaneously switching on two control fields to recall the stored information, the spin coherence is converted into two slow light pulses with distinct frequencies. Furthermore, the storage and controlled retrieval of double slow light pulses are obtained by manipulating the control fields. This study of double slow light pulses may have practical applications in information processing and all-optical networks. vspace2mm     

Characteristics of xenon-lamp pumped pyrromethene 567-doped dye laser based on polymethylmethacrylater

The solid-state medium containing pyrromethene 567 (PM567) in a polymethylmethacrylate polymer host is shown to lase under the flash lamp excitation. The experimental setup is an ordinary industrial product without special design. The bulk transmission losses, the output energy, and the other lasing properties are compared. The medium with the lowest transmission loss, measured to be 0.392 %/cm at 633 nm, gives a laser output of 130 mJ with a slope efficiency of 0.082%.
