Preparation of hybrid film with superhydrophobic surfaces based on irregularly structure by emulsion polymerization

A superhydrophobic surface originated from quincunx-shape composite particles was obtained by utilizing the encapsulation and graft of silica particles to control the surface chemistry and morphology of the hybrid film. The composite particles make the surface of film form a composite interface with irregular binary structure to trap air between the substrate surface and the liquid droplets which plays an essential role in obtaining high water contact angle and low water contact angle hysteresis. The water contact angle on the hybrid film is determined to be 154 ± 2° and the contact angle hysteresis is less than 5°. This is expected to be a simple and practical method for preparing self-cleaning hydrophobic surfaces on large area.     

Fast spin state initialization in a singly charged InAs-GaAs quantum dot by optical cooling

Quantum computation requires a continuous supply of rapidly initialized qubits for quantum error correction. Here, we demonstrate fast spin state initialization with near unity efficiency in a singly charged quantum dot by optically cooling an electron spin. The electron spin is successfully cooled from 5 to 0.06 K at a magnetic field of 0.88 T applied in Voigt geometry. The spin cooling rate is of order 10(9) s-1, which is set by the spontaneous decay rate of the excited state.     

Improving nucleation in the fabrication of high-quality 3D macro-porous copper film through the surface-modification of a polystyrene colloid-assembled template

A new approach is developed to the fabrication of high-quality three-dimensional macro-porous copper films. A highly-ordered macroporous copper film is successfully produced on a polystyrene sphere (PS) template that has been modified by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). It is shown that this procedure can change a hydrophobic surface of PS template into a hydrophilic surface. The present study is devoted to the influence of the electrolyte solution transport on the nucleation process. It is demonstrated that the permeability of the electrolyte solution in the nanochannels of the PS template plays an important role in the chemical electrodeposition of high-quality macroporous copper film. The permeability is drastically enhanced in our experiment through the surface modification of the PS templates. The method could be used to homogeneously produce a large number of nucleations on a substrate, which is a key factor for the fabrication of the high-quality macroporous copper film.     

Differential algebraic method for time of flight property of electrostatic electron lenses

Differential algebraic method is a powerful technique in computer numerical analysis. It presents a straightforward method for computing arbitrary order derivatives of functions with extreme high accuracy limited only by the truncation error of the computer. When applied to nonlinear dynamical systems, the arbitrary high-order transfer properties of the systems can be computed directly with high precision. In this article, the time of flight (TOF) property of electrostatic electron lens systems is studied by differential algebraic method and their arbitrary order TOF transfer properties can be numerically calculated. As an example, Schiske's model electrostatic lens has been studied by the efficient differential algebraic TOF method.

The effect of the vasomotion on the mass transfer in microcirculation

Detailed structure of the attracting set of the piecewise linear Henon mapping(x, y)→(1- a|x|+by,x)with a=8/5 and b=9/25 is described in this paper using the method of dual line mapping. Let A and B denote the fixed saddles in the first quadrant, and in the third quadrant, respectively. It is claimed that(1)the attracting set is the closure of the unstable manifold of saddle B, which includes the unstable manifold of A as its subset, and(2)the basin of attraction is the closure of the stable manifold of A, bounded by the stable manifold of B, which is in the limiting set of the stable manifold of A.Relations of the manifolds of the periodic saddles with the manifolds of the fixed point are given. Symbolic dynamics notations are adopted which renders possible the study of the dynamical behavior of every piece of the manifolds and of every homoclinic or heteroclinic point.

Efficient three-step entanglement concentration for an arbitrary four-photon cluster state

We propose an entanglement concentration protocol to concentrate an arbitrary partially-entangled four-photon cluster state.As a pioneering three-step entanglement concentration scheme,our protocol only needs a single-photon resource to assist the concentration in each step,which makes this protocol more economical.With the help of the linear optical elements and weak cross-Kerr nonlinearity,one can obtain a maximally-entangled cluster state via local operations and classical communication.Moreover,the protocol can be iterated to obtain a higher success probability and is feasible under current experimental conditions.     

Impacts of higher-order dispersions and saturable nonlinearities on modulation instability in negative-refractive metamaterials

On the basis of the standard linear stability analysis and Drude electromagnetic model,the impacts of higher-order dispersions and three kinds of typical saturable nonlinearities on modulation instability(MI) have been analyzed and calculated for negative-refractive metamaterials(MMs).Our results show that the MI gain spectra consist of only one spectral region instead of one or two regions in ordinary materials,which may be close to or far from the zero point.Particularly,the spectrum far from the zero point has a high cut-off frequency but a narrow spectral width,which is obviously beneficial to the generation of high-repetition-rate pulse trains.Moreover,MI characteristics here will vary with the normalized angular frequency which can be modified by adjusting the structures of negative-refractive MMs,signifying the controllability of bistable solitons and MI based applications.The effects of saturable nonlinearities are similar to those in ordinary materials.     

不同沙粒底面下气泡脉动特性实验研究

通过高速摄影系统对电火花气泡与不同沙粒底面间的相互作用进行了实验研究,并改变气泡与沙粒底面之间的距离.实验结果表明:气泡在与沙粒底面的相互作用中会产生两种明显不同的现象,即形成与近刚性壁面类似的气泡射流以及“蘑菇状”气泡,“蘑菇状”气泡撕裂形成两个气泡,随后产生两个反方向的沿轴线方向的射流.沙粒底面边界具有刚性与弹性两种特征.另外,随着气泡与沙粒底面之间的距离d的增大,气泡脉动周期先增大然后减小,存在气泡脉动周期峰值.对于不同的沙粒底面边界,出现气泡脉动周期峰值的距离d随着沙底粒径的增大而越小.
