Polarization shifting interferometric profilometer

A phase sensitive Michelson interferometer based on interference microscope configuration with a polarization adjustment approach is proposed to determine the two-dimensional (2-D) surface profile of optical grating with real time capability. In the proposed method, nonlinear behavior of a PZT phase shifter is avoided by use of polarization stepping and a phase map is developed with the four-bucket algorithm. The phase map is unwrapped to give the true surface profile of the sample. A close agreement of measurements is found between the measured result determined by the proposed method and that determined by an atomic force microscope (AFM). We also analyzed the estimated uncertainty of measurement in the nanometer range for the random fluctuations of the experimental parameters.     

Optical image encryption based on the multiple-parameter fractional Fourier transform

A novel image encryption algorithm is proposed based on the multiple-parameter fractional Fourier transform, which is a generalized fractional Fourier transform, without the use of phase keys. The image is encrypted simply by performing a multiple-parameter fractional Fourier transform with four keys. Optical implementation is suggested. The method has been compared with existing methods and shows superior robustness to blind decryption.

Piezoelectric coefficients of multilayer Pb(Zr,Ti)O<Subscript>3</Subscript> thin films

Sol–gel techniques were used to prepare thin films of Pb(Zr _x ,Ti_1−x )O₃ (PZT) with three different Zr/Ti ratios and a graded PZT film with three different compositional layers. A Michelson interferometer was used to measure the thickness strains due to an applied ac electric field. Effective d ₃₃ piezoelectric strain coefficients were computed from the experimental data. Interfacial pinning caused these coefficients to differ from the true ones. They were corrected for the pinning using both an analytical model and finite-element analysis. The corrected coefficients of the PZT (52/48) sample were in excellent agreement with values of bulk materials. The coefficients of the multilayer sample were very low, probably due to insufficient poling or domain switching.     

Phase transition and magnetic properties of Mg-doped hexagonal close-packed Ni nanoparticles

Mg-doped Ni nanoparticles with the hexagonal close-packed (hcp) and face-centered cubic (fcc) structure have been synthesized by sol-gel method sintered at different temperatures in argon atmosphere. The sintering temperature played an important role in the control of the crystalline phase and the particle size. The pure hcp Mg-doped Ni nanoparticles with average particle size of 6.0 nm were obtained at 320 °C. The results indicated that the transition from the hcp to the fcc phase occurred in the temperature range between 320 °C and 450 °C. Moreover, the VSM results showed that the hcp Mg-doped Ni nanoparticles had unique ferromagnetic and superparamagnetic behavior. The unsaturation even at 5000 Oe is one of the superparamagnetic characteristics due to the small particle size. From the ZFC and FC curves, the blocking temperature T_B of the hcp sample (6.0 nm) was estimated to be 10 K. The blocking temperature was related to the size of the magnetic particles and the magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant. By theoretical calculation, the deduced particle size was 6.59 nm for hcp Mg-doped Ni nanoparticles which was in agreement with the results of XRD and TEM.     

Nature of the spin dynamics and 1/3 magnetization plateau in azurite

We present a specific heat and inelastic neutron scattering study in magnetic fields up into the 1/3 magnetization plateau phase of the diamond chain compound azurite Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2. We establish that the magnetization plateau is a dimer-monomer state, i.e., consisting of a chain of S=1/2 monomers, which are separated by S=0 dimers on the diamond chain backbone. The effective spin couplings Jmono/kB=10.1(2) K and Jdimer/kB=1.8(1) K are derived from the monomer and dimer dispersions. They are associated to microscopic couplings J1/kB=1(2) K, J2/kB=55(5) K and a ferromagnetic J3/kB=-20(5) K, possibly as result of dz2} orbitals in the Cu-O bonds providing superexchange (SE) pathways with JSE=6.5 K.

Performance Optimization for the Parallel Gauss–Seidel Smoother

Simulation, e.g., in the field of computational fluid dynamics, accounts for a major part of the computing time on highperformance systems. Many simulation packages still rely on Gauss–Seidel iteration, either as the main linear solver or as a smoother for multigrid schemes. Straight-forward implementations of this solver have efficiency problems on today's most common high-performance computers, i.e., multiprocessor clusters with pronounced memory hierarchies. In this work we present two simple techniques for improving the performance of the parallel Gauss–Seidel method for the 3D Poisson equation by optimizing cache usage as well as reducing the number of communication steps.
