The 1/f noise in multiwalled carbon nanotubes

The $1/f$ noise in multiwalled carbon nanotubes bundles has been investigated between the frequency range of 0.1 to 30 Hz. At room temperature the noise spectrum is standard 1/f, and its level is proportional to the square of the bias voltage. With decreasing temperature the noise level also decreases. At 4.2 K the noise level follows a non-monotonic dependence against the bias voltage, showing a peak at a certain bias voltage, meanwhile its frequency dependence also deviates from the 1/f trend. This anomalous behaviour is discussed within the picture of environmental quantum fluctuation of charge transport in the samples.     

Giant magnetocurrent in triple-barrier ferromagnetic resonant-tunneling diode with different magnetization configurations

The authors theoretically investigate a triple-barrier ferromagnetic resonant-tunneling diode composing nonmagnetic couple wells and three GaMnN magnetic barriers, in which two kinds of antiparallel configurations are formed by changing the relative orientation of magnetization in the barriers. Based on a two-band model, the achievement of large magnetocurrents in the resonant bias regime is proposed under an optimal magnetization configuration. The magnetocurrents in both antiparallel configurations of triple-barrier system are much higher than that in double-barrier structure.     

Adsorption of L-Alanine on Cu（111） Studied by Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy

The adsorption of L-alanine on Cu（111） surface is studied by means of scanning tunnelling microscopy under ultra-high vacuum conditions. The results show that the adsorbates are chemisorbed on the surface, and can form a two-dimensional gas phase, chain phase and solid phase, depending on deposition rate and amount. The adsorbed molecules can be imaged as individual protrusions and parallel chains in gas and chain phases respectively. It is also found that alanine can form （2 × 2） superstructure on Cu（111） and copper step facet to （110） directions in solid phase. On the basis of our scanning tunnelling microscopic images, a model is proposed for the Cu（111）（2 ×2）-alanine superstructure. In the model, we point out the close link between （110）-direction hydrogen bond chains with the same direction copper step faceting.     

Spectral properties of Fermi/GBM gamma-ray bursts and the GeV emission detection rate with Fermi/LAT

With a sample of 58 Fermi/GBM GRBs detected before 2009 May, we compare the spectral properties of GBM GRBs with those detected by CGRO/BTASE and HETE-2. Our results show that the spectral index distributions are very consistent with those observed by BATSE. However, the E _p distribution is quite different from that observed with BATSE and HETE-2. The GBM GRBs tend to be softer than the BATSE sample, but harder than the HETE-2 sample. This may be due to the instrumental selection effects and artificial sample effect on the BATSE sample. The distribution of the pseudo redshifts derived from the luminosity indicator based on the Amati-relation shows rough consistency with the spectroscopic redshifts of Swift GRBs. We estimate the detection rate of GBM GRBs with LAT based on the observed spectrum in the GBM band, and the inferred burst ratio of LAT detection with over 5 photons to GBM detection is 6%, yielding a detection rate pf 12 GRBs/yr with over 5 photons in the 1–300 GeV band. This is roughly consistent with the results in the first half year of Fermi operation. The low detection rate compared with theoretical predictions is a key for revealing the radiation mechanisms and particle acceleration of the prompt gamma-rays.

两库柏对相互作用问题的研究

在文中给出了库柏对的两种不同表达形式。发现用由对算符组成的哈密顿量来计算更方便,用这些对算符对易性质,而不是把它们看成费米子算符的组合产物。这样一来,研究的库柏对相互作用问题也把库柏对看成对算符。文中解决了两个库柏对相互作用问题,并讨论了推广到多库柏系统的情况。     

An Efficient Module for Full Adders in Quantum-dot Cellular Automata

Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA), a new computing paradigm at nanoscale, may be a prospective alternative to conventional CMOS-based integrated circuits. Modular design methodology in QCA domain has not been widely investigated. In this paper, an efficient module with fault tolerance is proposed, which can be employed to fabricate three-input and five-input majority gates that are the fundamental primitives for designing circuits in QCA. With cells omission in the versatile module, various logic gates will be achieved, such as Nand-Nor-Inverter (NNI) gate and And-Or-Inverter (AOI) gate. Moreover, in order to seek out an efficient full adder, five various QCA full adders are designed and exhaustively compared in terms of area, complexity, latency, reliability and power dissipation and also compared with existing fault-tolerant full adders. Two simulation tools, QCADesigner and QCAPro, are utilized in the waveform simulations for verifying the correctness of proposed circuits and power consumption, respectively. The analysis results reveal that full adder V has significant improvements in contrast to its counterparts with above criteria. To test the practicability of full adder V, multi-bit adders will be designed in single-layer and compared with previous adders in terms of area, complexity and QCA cost, which proves the merits of our work.

Effects of locally resonant modes on underwater sound absorption in viscoelastic materials

Recently, by introducing locally resonant scatterers with spherical shape proposed in phononic crystals into design of underwater sound absorption materials, the low-frequency underwater sound absorption phenomenon induced by the localized resonances is observed. To reveal this absorption mechanism, the effect of the locally resonant mode on underwater sound absorption should be studied. In this paper, the finite element method, which is testified efficiently by comparing the calculation results with those of the layer multiple scattering method, is introduced to investigate the dynamic modes and the corresponding sound absorption of localized resonance. The relationship between the resonance modes described with the displacement contours of one unit cell and the corresponding absorption spectra is discussed in detail, which shows that the localized resonance leads to the absorption peak, and the mode conversion from longitudinal to transverse waves at the second absorption peak is more efficient than that at the first one. Finally, to show the modeling capability of FEM and investigate shape effects of locally resonant scatterers on underwater sound absorption, the absorption properties of viscoelastic materials containing locally resonant scatterers with ellipsoidal shape are discussed.
