Temperature or strain induced adjustable-chirp characteristics of uniform fibre grating with tapered metal coating

Temperature and strain characteristics of uniform fibre grating with tapered metal coatings have been analysed theoretically, by which adjustable chirp characteristics of such gratings are shown. Electroplating is adopted to fabricate such gratings, and the tapered metal coating is obtained by gradually drawing the fibre grating out of the solution during the process of electroplating. The gradually changing cross-sectional area of the metal coating is calculated by a newly suggested numerical method. By combining the theoretical and numerical simulation analyses, the gratings' characteristics are given at various temperatures and strains. The results obtained using such a method are also testified by experiments.     

Mo/Si aperiodic multilayer broadband reflective mirror for 12.5-28.5-nm wavelength range

Aperiodic molybdenum/silicon (Mo/Si) multilayer designed as a broadband reflective mirror with mean reflectivity of 10% over a wide wavelength range of 12.5-28.5 nm at incidence angle of 5° is developed using a numerical optimized method. The multilayer is prepared using direct current magnetron sputtering technology. The reflectivity is measured using synchrotron radiation. The measured mean reflectivity is 7.0% in the design wavelength range of 12.5-28.5 nm. This multilayer broadband reflective mirror can be used in extreme ultraviolet measurements and will greatly simplify the experimental arrangements.     

Utilizing inverse micelles to synthesize calcium phosphate nanoparticles as nano-carriers

The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of the inverse micelles (IM) technique in producing protein-loaded calcium phosphate nanoparticles (CaP NPs), and to compare this technique with the conventional co-precipitation (co-ppt) technique. In this study, bovine serum albumin and lysozyme were used as model proteins. The results show that CaP NPs produced by IM were shown to be spherical and homogenous in size of ~50 nm. Protein loading efficiency of the IM technique was shown to be much higher than CaP NPs synthesized through co-ppt technique. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows that proteins were not adsorbed onto the surface of IM-synthesized CaP NPs, which suggested that the proteins were entrapped within the particle matrix. Release studies show that protein release was more rapid at lower pH conditions (pH 5 and 6) than at physiological pH of 7.4. A burst release was observed for co-ppt CaP NPs, while a continuous release of protein was observed for IM-produced CaP NPs. This study shows the superiority of the IM technique in preparing pH responsive CaP NPs as nano-carriers.

Entanglement Dynamics of the Mixed Two-qubit System in Different Noisy Channels

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of the two-qubit entanglement quantum system when they transmitted through the Pauli channels and the depolarizing channel both independently or collectively. Making use of the concurrence we found that the entanglement of a kind of mixed two-qubit system defined in this paper can be preserved in the collective Pauli σ _y noise channel, but the entanglement of the other kind of mixed two-qubit system can be preserved in the collective Pauli σ _z noise channel. Meanwhile, our quantum systems will undergoing the entanglement sudden death (ESD) in collective depolarizing channel when they return to the maximally entangled Bell states. The reason is the Landblad operators in depolarizing channel are non-commuting operators and this finding is in accord with the previous study.     

Focusing effect of a graded index photonic crystal lens

We present a new graded-index photonic crystal (GRIN PhC) structure which can be made by laser interference lithography (LIL). It can be applied as miniaturized focusing lens. Numerical simulations are carried out on the structures with different widths, lengths, and modulations. In the qualitative analysis of the focal length, focusing of a GRIN PhC was proved to originate from both the graded sizes of the rods and multimode interference. Multimode interference dominates the focusing effect when a GRIN PhC has a small length or a small difference in the rod sizes. Intensity distributions in different cases were given to support the conclusion.     

Structure,equation of state and elasticity of crystalline HNIW by molecular dynamics simulations

We have performed theoretical investigations on the structure, equation of state (EOS), elasticity, and mechanical properties of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12-Hexanitrohexaazaisowurzitane (HNIW) energetic material by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The lattice parameters and equations of state of the four polymorphs (ε-, γ-, β-, and α-HNIW) under high pressure are calculated. Our calculated results agree with the previous experiments and theoretical calculations. Meanwhile, the elastic constants and some other mechanical properties of the most stable ε-HNIW under high pressure and temperature are predicted successfully.
