Design of a reentrant double staggered ladder circuit for V-band coupled-cavity traveling-wave tube

The reentrant double staggered ladder slow-wave structure is employed in a high-power V-band coupled-cavity traveling-wave tube. This structure has a wide bandwidth, a moderate interaction impedance, and excellent thermal dissipation properties, besides the easy fabrication. A well-matched waveguide coupler is proposed for the structure. Combining the design of attenuators, a full-scale three-dimensional circuit model for the V-band coupled-cavity traveling-wave tube is constructed. The electromagnetic characteristics and the beam--wave interaction of this structure are investigated. The beam current is set to be 100 mA, and the cathode voltage is tuned from 16.8 kV to 15.8 kV. The calculation results show that this tube can produce a saturated average output power over 100 W with an instantaneous bandwidth greater than 1.25 GHz in the frequency ranging from 58 GHz to 62 GHz. The corresponding gain and electronic efficiency can reach over 32 dB and 6.5%, respectively.     

Probing the zero-field splitting in the ordered N@C60 in buckycatcher C60H28 studied by EPR spectroscopy

The electronic structure of the endohedral fullerene ¹⁴N@C₆₀ spatially ordered in the crystal state by its supramolecular assembly with a buckycatcher C₆₀H₂₈ was investigated by X-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The zero-field splitting (ZFS) found in the complex is significantly enhanced in comparison to the earlier reported data for the analogous systems. The large ZFS, presumably induced by the molecular order in the supramolecular complex makes it an attractive material for the future quantum control and coherence studies.     

Base‐dependent selectivity of an SNAr reaction

A detailed kinetic analysis and computational study of an S_NAr reaction between 2,5,6‐trifluoronicotinonitrile, 2 , and the ambident 3‐isopropoxy‐1H‐pyrazol‐5‐amine, 3 , is presented. The selectivity with respect to the reaction at the primary amino group of 2 , to give the desired product, 2,5‐difluoro‐6‐[(3‐isopropoxy‐1H‐pyrazol‐5‐yl)amino]nicotinonitrile, 1 , is strongly dependent upon reaction conditions. Reaction is found to proceed via both uncatalysed and base catalysed routes, and selectivity towards 1 is strongly enhanced in the presence of the base diazabicyclo[2,2,2]octane (DABCO). Computational studies in tetrahydrofuran solution at the B3LYP/6‐31G* level of theory have provided valuable insight into alternative kinetically indistinguishable reaction pathways. The results suggest that for reaction at the primary amino group, proton removal by DABCO accompanying amine addition allows avoidance of a high‐energy, zwitterionic Meisenheimer intermediate. Reactions at the alternative pyrazole nitrogen atoms are less sensitive to the presence of base because of stabilisation of the Meisenheimer zwitterions by intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

Beam focusing from double subwavelength metallic slits filled with nonlinear material surrounded by dielectric surface gratings

Based on the radiation properties of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) can be controlled by adjusting the refractive indexes of dielectric materials in the metallic slits, a novel plasmonic focusing structure formed by two subwavelength metal apertures filled with Kerr nonlinear material surrounded by surface dielectric gratings is proposed and demonstrated numerically. Directions of radiation fields are determined by the phase difference of the surface waves at the exit interface and resonance property of each surface grating. Numerical simulations using two-dimensional (2D) Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method verify that the deflection angle and focal length can be controlled easily by changing the intensity of incident light, dynamically tunable on-axis and off-axis focusing effects can be achieved.     

Bohmian mechanics to high-order harmonic generation

This paper introduces Bohmian mechanics (BM) into the intense laser-atom physics to study high-order harmonic generation. In BM, the trajectories of atomic electron in an intense laser field can be obtained with the Bohm--Newton equation. The power spectrum with the trajectory of an atomic electron is calculated, which is found to be irregular. Next, the power spectrum associated with an atom ensemble from BM is considered, where the power spectrum becomes regular and consistent with that from quantum mechanics. Finally, the reason of the generation of the irregular spectrum is discussed.
