Polarized spin transport in mesoscopic quantum rings with electron--phonon and Rashba spin--orbit coupling

The influence of electron--phonon (EP) scattering on spin polarization of current output from a mesoscopic ring with Rashba spin--orbit (SO) interaction is numerically investigated. There are three leads connecting to the ring at different positions; unpolarized current is injected to one of them, and the other two are output channels with different bias voltages. The spin polarization of current in the outgoing leads shows oscillations as a function of EP coupling strength owing to the quantum interference of EP states in the ring region. As temperature increases, the oscillations are evidently suppressed, implying decoherence of the EP states. The simulation shows that the magnitude of polarized current is sensitive to the location of the lead. The polarized current depends on the connecting position of the lead in a complicated way due to the spin-sensitive quantum interference effects caused by different phases accumulated by transmitting electrons with opposite spin states along different paths.     

Synergistic degradation of methyl orange in an ultrasound intensified photocatalytic reactor

An original ultrasound (US) directly intensified photocatalytic reactor was designed to degrade azo dye pollutant methyl orange (MeO) using Degussa TiO(2) as the photocatalyst. The sonolytic, photocatalytic and sonophotocatalytic degradation of MeO in the new reactor and the synergistic effect between sonolysis and photocatalysis were investigated. Effects of operation parameters i.e., US power, TiO(2) dosage, liquid circulation velocity and air flow rate on degradation efficiency were investigated and optimized. The results showed that all parameters have optimal values for the sonophotocatalytic degradation of MeO, and the optimum conditions for the new process are US power 600 W, TiO(2) dosage 3g/L, liquid circulation velocity 4.05×10(-2) m/s and air flow rate 0.2 L/min. Under the optimum conditions, 91.52% MeO had been degraded within 1h, and the combination of sonolysis and TiO(2) photocatalysis exhibited an obvious synergetic effect.

Studies of the g factors and the local structure of the orthorhombic Ni center in KTaO3 crystal

The local structure and the g factor (g_x, g_y, and g_z) of the Ni⁺ center in KTaO₃ are theoretically studied using the perturbation formulas of the g factors for a 3d⁹ ion in orthorhombically elongated octahedra. The orthorhombic field parameters are determined from the superposition model and the local geometry of the system. In view of the covalency, the contributions from the ligand orbital and spin–orbit coupling interactions are taken into account from the cluster approach. In the calculations, the orthorhombic center is attributed to Ni⁺ occupying the host Ta⁵⁺ site, associated with the nearest-neighboring oxygen vacancy V_O along the c-axis. Furthermore, the planar Ni⁺–O²⁻ bonds are found to experience the relative variation ΔR (≈0.076 Å) along the a- and b-axis, respectively, due to the Jahn–Teller effect and the size mismatching substitution of Ta⁵⁺ by Ni⁺. Meanwhile, the effectively positive V_O can make the central Ni⁺ displace away from V_O along the c-axis by about 0.20 Å. The calculated g factors based on the above local distortions show good agreement with the experimental data.     

Coupling coefficients evaluation of a directional coupler using gain guided and index antiguided fibers

In this paper, we have investigated the mutual and self coupling characteristics of directional couplers using two individual gain guided and index antiguided fibers, which can deliver robust single mode operation with large mode area, respectively owing to the combined adequately large gain coefficients in the core; Some interesting and distinguishing properties from conventional index guided fiber couplers are obtained that: The variations of coupling coefficients are complex-valued and spatially damping oscillated, but not exponential-like decreasing as conventional index guided couplers.     

Quantum Routing on Single Photons with Π-Shaped Channels

We propose a single-photon router that is made of three coupled-resonator forming a Π-type waveguide. The two atoms embedded in the two junctions, which have the distance of 2d, are used as quantum switch to control single photons routing. We find that the scattered rate depend on the incident single photons come from either infinite CRWs or semi-infinite CRWs, and the boundary can enhance the transfer rate.

Investigation on activating individual living monocytic U937 cell by interleukin-6 using Raman tweezers

We investigate the activation of living monocytic U937 cells induced by interleukin-6 （IL-6） at the single cell level. We employ home-built Raman tweezers to measure the Raman spectra of living U937 cells with and without IL-6 at the single cell level. Raman peaks of amide III, amide I, DNA backbone, as well as guanine and adenine in U937 cells, change at 1312, 1652, 1090, and 1576 cm ？1 , respectively, shortly after IL-6 is added in the medium. The change is a dynamic temporal process. In the activation process of U937 cells induced by IL-6, the protein signals recover in 20 min, while the nucleic acid signals continue to increase for 20 min. The results reveal that the biochemical cascades of activation in signal transduction induced by IL-6 can be investigated in situ at the single cell level.
