Dynamical behavior of the kink motion in carbon nanotubes

By performing molecular dynamics calculations, we studied the motion of the kink between two carbon nanotubes. Based on the sequential evaporation of the most energetic carbon atom, our calculations show that the kink has complex longitudinal and spiral motions, in good agreement with the experiments. The kink moves towards the nanotube of larger diameter, resulting in an overall diameter shrinking of the nanotubes without inducing any disorder or damage. The kink motions are found to be dependent on the chirality of the nanotubes. The kink connecting two zigzag nanotubes can have either a pseudoclimb or a spiral motion, while the kink between the armchair nanotubes has an interesting spiral motion with periodic split and recombination of the topological defects.     

Output response in orthogonal directions of a He–Ne laser caused by birefringent-external-cavity feedback

The output responses of phase, amplitude, and polarization of light intensity of a He–Ne laser with the birefringent external cavity are presented. All phenomena are observed in two orthogonal directions related to the birefringent element’s orientation, and are studied under weak optical feedback. Experiments are carried out in five available detecting positions. It is found that laser intensities are modulated in the two orthogonal directions simultaneously, with a phase difference dominated by the phase retardation of the birefringence element. The modulation amplitudes are different in the two directions. A special polarization phenomenon is also observed and discussed. This research may provide a potential novel measuring principle for transparent birefringent materials.     

Ru(0001) 表面BaO吸附层的原子结构和氮分子的吸附性质

采用密度泛函理论研究了Ru(0001) /BaO表面的原子层结构和氮分子的吸附性质. 研究结果表明, 在低覆盖度下氧化钡倾向于以相同的构型形成Ru(0001) 表面原子层. 在此构型中, 氧原子位于表面p(1× 1) 结构的hcp谷位, 而钡原子则位于同一p(1× 1) 结构的顶位附近. 钌氧键键长等于0.209 nm, 比EXAFS的实验值大0.018 nm. 在Ru(0001) /BaO表面氮分子倾向吸附于钡原子附近. 相应位置的氮分子吸附能位于0.70到0.87 eV之间, 大于氧原子附近的氮分子吸附能. 钡原子附近的钌原子对氮分子具有更强的活化性能. 相应位置的氮分子拉伸振动频率等于1946 cm^{- 1}, 比氧原子附近的最大分子振动频率小约130 cm^-1. Ru(0001) /BaO表面氮分子键强度介于清洁Ru(0001) 和Ru(0001) /Ba表面之间. Ru(0001)/BaO表面不同位置的氮分子吸附性质差异是由钡和氧原子化学性质不同造成的. 表面钡原子的作用能够减少吸附氮分子的σ^*轨道电子密度, 增加π^*轨道电子密度, 从而增强氮分子和钌原子间的轨道杂化作用, 弱化氮分子键.

Optical channel waveguides with trapezoidal-shaped cross sections in KTiOPO4 crystal fabricated by ion implantation

Optical channel waveguides were fabricated in KTiOPO₄ crystal by He⁺-ion implantation using photoresist masks with wedged-shaped cross sections. Semi-closed barrier walls with reduced refractive indices inside the crystal constructed the enclosed regions to be channel waveguides with trapezoidal-shaped cross sections. The m-line as well as end-fire coupling arrangements were performed to characterize the waveguides with light at wavelength of 632.8 nm. The propagation loss of the channel waveguides was determined to be as low as ∼2 dB/cm after simple post-irradiation thermal annealing treatment in air.     

Analysis of capacity and outage probability for intersatellite optical communications in the presence of random pointing jitter

This work is motivated by the need to achieve the Shannon channel capacity for intersatellite optical communication with intensity modulation and direct detection. In this paper, we investigate the tradeoff between the channel capacity and the outage probability in the presence of random pointing jitter for intersatellite optical links. First, we derive an analytical expression of the outage probability in the absence of bias error, and then the bias error is taken into account. By minimizing the outage probability, we obtain analytically the optimum design of the beam half-width divergence angle $ w_0^{\text{opt}} $ for a given channel code rate. Furthermore, we discuss the tradeoff between the outage probability and the channel capacity and illustrate the results by adopting $ w_0^{\text{opt}} $ in the presence of random pointing jitter. The results obtained are useful for the parametric-estimation optimization of intersatellite optical communication systems.     

A high order moving boundary treatment for compressible inviscid flows

We develop a high order numerical boundary condition for compressible inviscid flows involving complex moving geometries. It is based on finite difference methods on fixed Cartesian meshes which pose a challenge that the moving boundaries intersect the grid lines in an arbitrary fashion. Our method is an extension of the so-called inverse Lax–Wendroff procedure proposed in [17] for conservation laws in static geometries. This procedure helps us obtain normal spatial derivatives at inflow boundaries from Lagrangian time derivatives and tangential derivatives by repeated use of the Euler equations. Together with high order extrapolation at outflow boundaries, we can impose accurate values of ghost points near the boundaries by a Taylor expansion. To maintain high order accuracy in time, we need some special time matching technique at the two intermediate Runge–Kutta stages. Numerical examples in one and two dimensions show that our boundary treatment is high order accurate for problems with smooth solutions. Our method also performs well for problems involving interactions between shocks and moving rigid bodies.
