Nonautonomous deformed solitons in a Bose-Einstein condensate

We study exact single-soliton solutions of an attractive Bose-Einstein condensate governed by a one-dimensional nonautonomous Gross-Pitaevskii system. For several different forms of time-dependent atom-atom interaction and external parabolic potential which satisfy the exact integrability scenario, we construct a set of new analytical nonautonomous deformed-soliton solutions, including the macroscopic wave function and the position of soliton＇s center of mass. The soliton characteristics are modulated by the external field parameters and deformation factors related to the number of the condensed atoms and the initial conditions. The results suggest a simple and effective method for experimentally generating matter-wave deformed solitons and manipulating their motions.

Synthesis of azo benzothiazole polymer and its application of 1 × 2 Y-branched and 2 × 2 Mach–Zehnder interferometer switch

The azo benzothiazole polyurethane–urea (ABPUU) was synthesized from chromophore molecule 4-[(6-nitrobenzothiazole-2-yl)diazenyl]phenyl-1,3-diamine NBDPD, polyether polyol (NJ-210) and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI). The structure, thermal property, mechanical property and physical property were characterized and investigated. The refractive index (n) and thermo-optic coefficient (dn/dT) of ABPUU was determined at different temperature and wavelength (532 nm, 650 nm and 850 nm) using attenuated total reflection (ATR) technique. Using the CCD digital imaging devices, transmission loss of ABPUU was measured. A 1 × 2 Y-branched and 2 × 2 Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) switch with two rib waveguides, dual driving electrodes and two critical 3-dB couplers polymeric thermo-optic switches based on thermo-optic effect of prepared ABPUU were designed and simulation. The power consumption of the Y-branched switch is less than 0.84 mW. The Y-branched and MZI switching rising and falling times obtained are 0.8 ms and 0.2 ms, respectively.     

Highly efficient greenish blue-emitting organic diodes based on pyrene derivatives

We report the synthesis of pyrene derivatives as the light emissive layer for highly efficient organic electroluminescence (EL) diodes. Multilayer devices were fabricated with pyrene derivatives (ITO/NPB (50 nm)/blue material (30 nm)/BCP (10 nm)/Alq₃ (30 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al). By using 1,1′-dipyrene (DP) and 1,4-dipyrenyl benzene (DPB), the devices produced the blue EL emissions with 1931 Commission International de L’Eclairage coordinates of (x=0.21, y=0.35) and (x=0.19, y=0.25), respectively. The device with DPB shows a maximum brightness of 42,445 cd/m² at 400 mA/cm² and the luminance efficiency of 8.57 cd/A and 5.18 lm/W at 20 mA/cm².     

Titanium carbonitride films on cemented carbide cutting tool prepared by pulsed high energy density plasma

Hard films prepared by pulsed high energy density plasma (PHEDP) are characterized by high film/substrate adhesive strength, and high wear resistance. Titanium carbonitride (TiCN) films were deposited onto YG11C (ISO G20) cemented carbide cutting tool substrates by PHEDP at room temperature. XRD, XPS, SEM, AES, etc. were adopted to analyze the phases (elements) composition, microstructure and the interface of the films, respectively. The results show that, the uniform dense films are composed of grains ranging from 70 to 90 nm. According to the AES result, there is a broad transition layer between the film and the substrate, due to the ion implantation effect of the PHEDP. The transition layer is favorable for the film/substrate adhesion.     

石英玻璃低能质子辐照损伤动力学研究

地面模拟研究了JGS3光学石英玻璃在真空、热沉和能量低于200keV的低能质子辐照下表面光学性能变化的基本规律．并建立了辐照损伤色心演化的动力学唯象模型。试验结果表明．大通量低能质子辐照对石英玻璃表层具有明显的表面损伤效应。随着辐照吸收剂量的增加,光密度变化先以线性规律迅速增加．加进一步增加时逐渐呈现饱和趋势;采用较高能量辐照作用后光密度变化出现饱和趋势的拐点提前,且饱和数值降低。根据对试验结果的分析,建立了低能质子辐照下石英玻璃色心演化的动力学模型．并给出了光密度变化的表达式。采用模型结果进行数学模拟,模拟曲线与试验结果曲线相似。因此所建立的动力学模型可以用来定量描述低能质子辐照下石英玻璃光学性能随辐照吸收剂量的变化规律。     

The absence of physical aging effects on the relaxation of rubbing-induced birefringence in polystyrene

We found, through extensive experimental studies, that the physical aging effects are absent in the relaxation of rubbing-induced birefringence (RIB) in polystyrene (PS), and the relaxation involves very small length scale. A phenomenological model based on individual birefringence elements is proposed for the RIB relaxation. The relaxation times (RTs) of the elements are found to be independent of the thermal or stress history of the samples, either before or after the formation of the birefringence. The RTs are also independent of the molecular weight, rubbing conditions, and film thickness, while the RTs distribution function does depend on the molecular weight and rubbing conditions. The model provides quantitative interpretations that agree very well with all the reported experimental results, and sheds important light on the novel behaviors of the RIB relaxation. The absence of physical aging effects is probably due to the combined effects of small length scale of the RIB relaxation, and the accelerated aging speed in the near surface region in which the RIB concentrates.     

Critical bond lengths and their role in spontaneous magnetostriction of R2Fe17CX (R=Y,Nd, Gd,Tb, Er)

High-energy high-flux synchrotron X-rays have been used to study the spontaneous magnetostriction of R₂Fe₁₇ (R=Y, Nd, Gd, Tb, Er) and their carbides in the temperature range 10–1100 K. Addition of interstitial carbon greatly increases both the Curie temperatures (T_C) and the spontaneous magnetostrain of the compounds, while reduces the anisotropy of the magnetostrain by expanding the distances between rare-earth and neighboring Fe sites. The increase of T_C with carbon is due to the increased spatial separation of the Fe hexagon layers. On the basal plane, the Fe hexagons are squeezed and the contribution of Fe sublattice to spontaneous magnetostriction is attenuated, while that of rare-earth sublattice is enhanced. The average bond magnetostrain around Fe sites are in linear relation with their hyperfine field intensities.
