A three‐crystal spectrometer for high‐energy resolution fluorescence‐detected X‐ray absorption spectroscopy and X‐ray emission spectroscopy at SSRF

A Johann‐type spectrometer for the study of high‐energy resolution fluorescence‐detected X‐ray absorption spectroscopy, X‐ray emission spectroscopy and resonant inelastic X‐ray scattering has been developed at BL14W1 X‐ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy beamline of Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The spectrometer consists of three crystal analyzers mounted on a vertical motion stage. The instrument is scanned vertically and covers the Bragg angle range of 71.5–88°. The energy resolution of the spectrometer ranges from sub‐eV to a few eV. The spectrometer has a solid angle of about 1.87 × 0^?3 of 4π sr, and the overall photons acquired by the detector could be 10⁵ counts per second for the standard sample. The performances of the spectrometer are illustrated by the three experiments that are difficult to perform with the conventional absorption or emission spectroscopy.

Entanglement detection in the vicinity of arbitrary Dicke states

Dicke states represent a class of multipartite entangled states that can be generated experimentally with many applications in quantum information. We propose a method to experimentally detect genuine multipartite entanglement in the vicinity of arbitrary Dicke states. The detection scheme can be used to experimentally quantify the entanglement depth of many-body systems and is easy to implement as it requires measurement of only three collective spin operators. The detection criterion is strong as it heralds multipartite entanglement even in cases where the state fidelity goes down exponentially with the number of qubits.     

γ-MnO2/polyaniline composites: Preparation, characterization, and applications in microwave absorption

MnO₂/doped polyaniline (PANI) is prepared by an in situ polymerization method using γ-MnO₂ as the addition agent and hydrochloric acid as the doping agent. Products are characterized by FT-IR, UV-vis, XRD, and TEM. Conductivity, electromagnetic properties, and microwave absorption properties are first discussed on the basis of structural characterization. The as-prepared products of MnO₂/PANI are partially crystalline in nature and spherical in pattern with grain sizes of 50-70 nm. MnO₂ particles are successfully decorated with doped PANI. MnO₂/PANI displays moderate electric conduction, excellent dielectric losses, and microwave absorption capabilities. Compared to pure MnO₂, the dielectric and reflection loss properties of MnO₂/PANI composites exhibit significant improvements, with an effective absorption band at 5 GHz under −10 dB and maximum reflection loss of −21 dB at 13.56 GHz. Pure MnO₂ shows an effective absorption band of 3 GHz under −10 dB and a maximum reflection loss of −14.20 dB at 11.5 GHz. Thus, MnO₂/PANI composites are found to be a promising microwave absorption material.

A global harmonic Arnoldi method for large non-Hermitian eigenproblems with an application to multiple eigenvalue problems

The global Arnoldi method can be used to compute exterior eigenpairs of a large non-Hermitian matrix A, but it does not work well for interior eigenvalue problems. Based on the global Arnoldi process that generates an F-orthonormal basis of a matrix Krylov subspace, we propose a global harmonic Arnoldi method for computing certain harmonic F-Ritz pairs that are used to approximate some interior eigenpairs. We propose computing the F-Rayleigh quotients of the large non-Hermitian matrix with respect to harmonic F-Ritz vectors and taking them as new approximate eigenvalues. They are better and more reliable than the harmonic F-Ritz values. The global harmonic Arnoldi method inherits convergence properties of the harmonic Arnoldi method applied to a larger matrix whose distinct eigenvalues are the same as those of the original given matrix. Some properties of the harmonic F-Ritz vectors are presented. As an application, assuming that A is diagonalizable, we show that the global harmonic Arnoldi method is able to solve multiple eigenvalue problems both in theory and in practice. To be practical, we develop an implicitly restarted global harmonic Arnoldi algorithm with certain harmonic F-shifts suggested. In particular, this algorithm can be adaptively used to solve multiple eigenvalue problems. Numerical experiments show that the algorithm is efficient for the eigenproblem and is reliable for quite ill-conditioned multiple eigenproblems.
