Design of aspheric collimation system for semiconductor laser beam

In this paper, semiconductor laser beam collimation lenses system has been optimum simulated and designed. The new design methods for aspheric cylinder lenses collimation system have been discussed in detail and the system parameters are calculated and optimized by using a geometrical ray optics approximation. The optical system has been further simulated by software MATLAB, and the simulation results showed that the emergence angle can be collimated effectively, and the output beam can be expanded to a circular spot in centimeter level beam radius.     

FePt L10 ordering and grain growth using millisecond pulse laser processing

The structural and magnetic properties of ∼12 nm thick FePt thin films grown on Si substrates annealed using a 1064 nm wavelength laser with a 10 ms pulse have been examined. The A1 to L1₀ ordering phase transformation was confirmed by electron and X-ray diffraction. An order parameter near 50% and a maximum coercivity of 12 kOe were obtained with laser energy densities of 25-32 J/cm². Grain growth, quantified by dark field transmission electron microscopy, occurred during chemical ordering at the laser pulse widths studied.     

First-principles study on the structural and electronic properties of ultrathin ZnO nanofilms

Using first-principles density-functional calculations, we have studied the structural and electronic properties of ultrathin ZnO {0001} nanofilms. The structural parameters, the charge densities, band structures and density of states have been investigated. The results show that there are remarkable charge transfers from Zn to O atoms in the ZnO nanofilms. All the ZnO nanofilms exhibit direct wide band gaps compared with bulk counterpart, and the gap decreases with increased thickness of the nanofilms. The decreased band gap is associated with the weaker ionic bonding within layers and the less localization of electrons in thicker films. A staircase-like density of states occurs at the bottom of conduction band, indicating the two-dimensional quantum effects in ZnO nanofilms.     

Parrondo’s paradox and complementary Parrondo processes

Parrondo’s Paradox has gained a fair amount of attention due to it being counter-intuitive. Given two stochastic processes, both of which are losing in nature, it is possible to have an overall net increase in capital by periodically or randomly alternating between the two processes. In this paper, we analyze the paradox with a different approach, in which we start with one process and seek to derive its complementary process. We will also state the conditions required for this to occur. Possible applications of our results include the development of future models based on the paradox.     

The Haldane–Shastry spin chain and the topological basis realization

In this paper, based on the topological basis states, we investigate the Hamiltonian family {H₂,H₃,H₄}$\{H_2,H_3,H_4\}$ of a closed four-qubit Haldane–Shastry spin chain. Not only the two-qubit interaction form, but also the three-qubit interaction form and the four-qubit interaction form are presented in terms of spin operators. Meanwhile, we explore some particular properties of the topological basis states in these systems. With Yangian algebra, the symmetry of the systems and the transitions between the eigenstates have been investigated. We find a really useful effect of Y(sl(2))$Y\left(sl\left(2\right)\right)$ operators {J_±,J₃}$\{J_{\pm },J_3\}$, which is that they can describe the transitions between the spin single state and the spin triple states. Furthermore, we construct a new Hamiltonian, whose energy degeneracies can be changed by adjusting the strengths of the two-qubit interactions, three-qubit interactions, four-qubit interactions, and the external magnetic field.

Hysteresis suppression improvement of polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistors by two-step hydrogenation

The effect of two-step hydrogenation, consisting of plasma hydrogenation and annealing in hydrogen, on the hysteresis phenomenon of metal-induced unilaterally crystallized silicon thin-film transistors (MIUC-Si TFTs) was investigated. The large hysteresis level of the conventional MIUC-Si TFTs caused a wide variation of the drain current with the previous gate voltage. As the plasma exposure time increased, the plasma hydrogenation commonly used for stability in poly-Si TFTs was found to increase the hysteresis level of MIUC-Si TFTs after a minimum point. This is because plasma-induced damages correlated with unique defects of MIUC-Si such as metal-related weak bonds, are accompanied by passivation. The following annealing repaired the damages. Consequently the hysteresis level was lower, which resulted in a narrower variation of the drain current.     

Synthesis of praseodymium oxide nanofiber by electrospinning

Well-defined and uniform Pr₆O₁₁ nanofibers were synthesized by electrospinning of an aqueous sol-gel consisting of praseodymium nitrate hexa-hydrate and polyvinyl acetate. The synthesized Pr₆O₁₁ nanofibers mat was dried at 80 °C for 24 h under vacuum and finally annealed at 600 °C for 2 h in static air furnace. From crystalline properties, the synthesized Pr₆O₁₁ nanofibers XRD analysis revealed the typical cubic structure. The morphological observation showed that the synthesized Pr₆O₁₁ nanofibers composed of fibers length in several 100 nm and diameter of ∼20 nm. Similarly, transmission electron microscope (TEM) measurement revealed the good crystalline nature of the synthesized Pr₆O₁₁ nanofibers with the average diameter of ∼20 nm. Photoluminescence (PL) demonstrated a strong green-blue emission peak at 521 nm, suggesting that the Pr₆O₁₁ nanofiber exhibited good crystal quality with very less structural defects.     

Long-range acoustic communication in deep water using a towed array

In September 2010 a long-range acoustic communication (LRAC10) experiment was carried out in deep water off the Southern California Coast. The experiment involved two mobile components: (1) a source towed slowly at a speed of 2-3 knots at ～75-m depth and (2) a horizontal line array towed at 3.5 knots at a depth of ～200 m. Phase-coherent communication sequences were transmitted in the frequency band of 200-300 Hz at various ranges (100-700 km). Initial analysis of the LRAC10 data demonstrates that an information rate of 50 bits/s can be achieved over ～550-km range using quadrature-phase shift-keying (QPSK) modulation and error-correction coding combined with beamforming.
