Dynamic self-assembly of rings of charged metallic spheres

This Letter describes dynamic self-assembly in a system of stainless steel spheres ( approximately 1 mm in diameter) rolling on a flat dielectric surface under the influence of an external magnetic field that rotates parallel to the plane of the surface. As the spheres move, they charge triboelectrically. Self-assembly is mediated by two types of electrostatic interactions among these charges: (i) attraction between negatively charged regions of the surface and positively charged spheres and (ii) repulsion between the like-charged spheres. The spheres organize into highly ordered rings as a result of these electrostatic interactions.     

Nondiffusive spin dynamics in a two-dimensional electron gas

We describe measurements of spin dynamics in the two-dimensional electron gas in GaAs/GaAlAs quantum wells. Optical techniques, including transient spin-grating spectroscopy, are used to probe the relaxation rates of spin polarization waves in the wave vector range from zero to 6x10(4) cm-1. We find that the spin polarization lifetime is maximal at a nonzero wave vector, in contrast with expectations based on ordinary spin diffusion, but in quantitative agreement with recent theories that treat diffusion in the presence of spin-orbit coupling.     

Non-reciprocal transmission via phase conjugation in multimode optical fibres

We demonstrate phase conjugate correction of modal distortion of a single mode beam on double-passing a passive highly multimode fibre. Phase conjugation is achieved in a self-pumped photorefractive BaTiO₃ crystal which conjugates only the e-polarised input component. We show that only a small fraction of the multimode fibre output is required to faithfully conjugate the single mode input beam. This technique enables the demonstration of a novel non-reciprocal transmission device, which for example has immediate application in gain-grating holographic resonator designs with multimode fibres as the active gain medium.

利用地磁场综合模型CM4分析中国大陆地区地磁场变化

第四代地磁场综合模型CM4是迄今为止将地磁场的内源场和外源场分离得最为彻底的数学模型.利用该模型结合Taylor多项式模型,基于1960—2000年期间中国大陆地区的实测数据,计算并分析了以10a为间隔的内源场和外源场的变化情况,通过将1960—1990年的所有磁异常点归算至2000年以分析地壳磁异常场的总体分布趋势.结果显示:地磁北向分量X的内源场强度总体呈逐年减弱的趋势,从1960年到2000年共下降了约750nT,外源场强度总体呈先增强后减弱的趋势,共下降了约32nT;地磁东向分量Y的内源场强度总体呈先减弱后增强的趋势,1960—2000年期间共上升了约40nT,外源场强度总体呈先减弱后增强再减弱的趋势,共上升了约3.8nT;地磁垂直分量Z的内源场变化趋势与Y分量类似,共上升了约600nT,外源场总体呈先减弱后增强的趋势,共上升了约4.6nT.对于地壳磁异常场,X分量、Z分量、地磁总强度F和地磁水平分量H在中国大陆地区都为负异常分布,X分量和H分量的负异常强度随经度增加而减弱,Z分量和F分量则相反;Y分量和磁偏角D的分布较为类似,在中国的中西部大部分地区为正异常,强度随经度增加而减弱,磁倾角I主要以负异常为主,负异常强度随经度增加而增强.     

同轴结构中压力波法测量空间电荷分布的物理模型研究

从压力波法测量平板样本中空间电荷分布的理论分析出发,提出了对于同轴结构的固体电介质中空间电荷分布的压力波法测量的物理模型,并得出了测量电流的解析的数学表达式.依据泊松方程,考虑样品内的电场强度、介电常数和空间电荷密度随外界声波扰动而发生变化,将圆柱试样受到的压力波的影响分解成样品形变和质点位移两部分,进而得到了以同轴结构中空间电荷分布的压力波法测量的电压与电流表达式.测量电流的数学表达式表明,对于同轴结构,压力波法的测量电流信号不像平板结构中那样基本正比于空间电荷分布,而是应该做进一步的修正处理.     

Tuning exchange coupling by replacing CoFe with amorphous CoFeB in the CoFe/Ru/CoFe synthetic antiferromagnetic structure

We studied exchange coupling in the CoFe/Ru/CoFe synthetic antiferromagnetic structure with systematical replacement of the crystalline CoFe with amorphous CoFeB. Antiferromagnetic exchange coupling intensity decreases with an increase in the replacement in the bottom magnetic layer, which indicates that exchange coupling intensity could be tuned by the replacement. The origin of weakening antiferromagnetic exchange coupling is attributed to the amorphous CoFeB replacement inducing incomplete crystallization and disordered orientation in the Ru layer.     

On the role of secondary interactions in the production of bremsstrahlung spectra from a thick target

Bremsstrahlung emission, or radiation loss, is the dominant mechanism of energy dissipation of electrons at relativistic energies greater than a few MeV when it is subjected to acceleration in the field of the nucleus or of the electrons. In this study, the Monte Carlo calculations for bremsstrahlung spectra have been described for the case of a thick tungsten target with incident electron beams from 10 to 50 MeV, where secondary interactions induced by the electrons and photons in the target, such as energy loss, absorption, scattering, and (e ⁺, e ⁻)-pair production effects, were taken into account. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Analysis of a laser-diode end-pumped intracavity frequency-doubled passively Q-switched and mode-locked Nd:GdVO<Subscript>4</Subscript>/KTP laser with a semiconductor saturable absorber

A diode-pumped passively Q-switched mode-locked (QML) intracavity frequency-doubled Nd:GdVO₄/KTP green laser with a semiconductor saturable absorber is presented. Nearly 100% modulation depth for the mode-locked green pulses can be achieved at any pump power over 1.92 W. The width of the mode-locked green pulse was estimated to be about 150 ps. The mode-locked pulse interval within the Q-switched envelope of 320 ns and the repetition rate of 97.5 kHz were obtained, at an incident pump power of 4.4 W. The repetition rate of the mode-locked green pulses inside the Q-switched envelope was 140 MHz.     

Multiphonon Bundle Emission in a Strong-Coupling Cavity Optomechanical System

Nonclassical effects in mesoscopic systems have attracted much attention recently. In this paper, it is shown that multiphonon bundle emission can be observed in a strong-coupling cavity optomechanical system. Theoretical analysis shows that when the driving field is adjusted to nth-order sideband excitation, the coupling between the cavity mode and the vibrational mode leads to super-Rabi oscillations, and finally results in an n-phonon bundles emission. Based on the current technology, this process can work in a wide range of parameters. Numerical simulation confirms the validity of the derivation. It is thought that this physical mechanism broadens the applications of cavity optomechanical system in realm of quantum phononics, such as in quantum metrology and phonon laser.
