Deterministic Bidirectional Remote State Preparation of a- and Symmetric Quantum States with a Proper Quantum Channel

We present a new scheme for deterministically realizing the mutual interchange of quantum information between two distant parties via selected quantum states as the shared entangled resource. We first show the symmetric bidirectional remote state preparation (BRSP), where two single-qubit quantum states will be simultaneously exchanged in a deterministic manner provided that each of the users performs single-qubit von Neumann measurements with proper measurement bases as well as appropriate unitary operations, depending essentially on the outcomes of the prior measurements. Then we consider to extend the symmetric protocol to an asymmetric case, in which BRSP of a general single-qubit state and an arbitrary two-qubit state is investigated successfully. The necessary quantum operations and the employed quantum resources are feasible according to the present technology, resulting in that this protocol may be realizable in the realm of current physical experiment.     

Optical properties of GdTaO4:Eu thick films prepared from a PVP-containing solution

Transparent GdTaO₄:Eu³⁺ thick films were prepared from the inorganic salt and 2-methoxyethanol solution containing polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) via sol-gel technique. The critical thickness of the film, i.e. the maximum thickness achievable without crack formation via non-repetitive deposition, was 0.8 μm. The effect of PVP on the morphology, crystallization behavior and optical property of the GdTaO₄:Eu³⁺ thick film was investigated. The results indicated that PVP could play an important role in the formation of transparent GdTaO₄:Eu³⁺ thick films, suppressing the stress evolution, adjusting the sol viscosity, ameliorating the crystallinity, and strengthening the covalency of Eu-O bonds. The GdTaO₄:Eu³⁺ thick films prepared with PVP exhibited a superior photoluminescence and X-ray exited luminescence, which implies that it will have promising applications in high-spatial-resolution X-ray imaging and flat panel display devices.     

The study of novel Fe3O4@γ-Fe2O3 core/shell nanomaterials with improved properties

The surface structure of the iron oxide nanoparticles obtained by the co-precipitation method has been investigated, and a thin layer of α-FeOOH absorbed on surface of the nanoparticle is confirmed by analyses of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) and surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPS). After annealed at 400 °C, the α-FeOOH can be converted to γ-Fe₂O₃. The simple-annealed procedure resulted in the formation of Fe₃O₄@γ-Fe₂O₃ core/shell structure with improved stability and a higher magnetic saturation value, and also the simple method can be used to obtain core/shell structure in other similar system.     

Morphology and thermal stability of AlF3 thin films grown on Cu(100)

The growth of ultrathin epitaxial layers of aluminum fluoride on Cu(100) has been studied by a combination of surface science techniques. Deposition at room temperature results in step decoration followed by the formation of dendritic two-dimensional islands that coalesce to form porous films. Ultrathin layers (up to 2 monolayers in thickness) are morphologically unstable upon annealing; de-wetting takes place around 430 K with the formation of three-dimensional islands and leaving a large fraction of the Cu surface uncovered. Films several nanometers thick, on the contrary, are stable up to ca. 730 K where desorption in molecular form sets on. The effect of electron irradiation on the AlF₃ has also been characterized by different spectroscopic techniques; we find that even small quantities of stray electrons from rear electron beam heating can provoke significant decomposition of the aluminum fluoride, resulting in the release of molecular fluorine and the formation of deposits of metallic aluminum. These features make AlF₃ an interesting material for spintronic applications.     

Superferromagnetic state of α-Fe in Fe implanted Co6Ag94 studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy

After having introduced by ion implantation ⁵⁷Fe to a local concentration of 7 at% into Co₆Ag₉₄, we observed it by conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy in the as-prepared state and after isochronal annealing. A superferromagnetic state is inferred, which is correlated with the ordering of the magnetic moments on the Fe clusters through chain-like or dendritic Co/Fe linear structures. The magnetic moment disordering temperature lies above 473 K.

Electronic properties of iron arsenic high temperature superconductors revealed by angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES)

We present an overview of the electronic properties of iron arsenic high temperature superconductors with emphasis on low energy band dispersion, Fermi surface and superconducting gap. ARPES data is compared with full-potential linearized plane wave (FLAPW) calculations. We focus on single layer NdFeAsO_0.9F_0.1 (R1111) and two layer Ba_1?xK_xFe₂As₂ (B122) compounds. We find general similarities between experimental data and calculations in terms of character of Fermi surface pockets, and overall band dispersion. We also find a number of differences in details of the shape and size of the Fermi surfaces as well as the exact energy location of the bands, which indicate that magnetic interaction and ordering significantly affects the electronic properties of these materials. The Fermi surface consists of several hole pockets centered at Γ and electron pockets located in zone corners. The size and shape of the Fermi surface changes significantly with doping. Emergence of a coherent peak below the critical temperature T_c and diminished spectral weight at the chemical potential above T_c closely resembles the spectral characteristics of the cuprates, however the nodeless superconducting gap clearly excludes the possibility of d-wave order parameter. Instead it points to s-wave or extended s-wave symmetry of the order parameter.     

Dome效应对四孔大气相干长度仪系统性能的影响

以水平方向距仪器1 000 m的卤钨灯为光源,通过同步对比实验探究了两台四孔大气相干长度仪的系统性能。实验结果表明,由它们测得的大气相干长度的大小和总体变化趋势能够较好吻合,相关性系数均在0.94以上,具有较好的一致性。在此基础上,进一步研究了Dome效应对该系统性能的影响。该效应的影响主要表现在使大气相干长度变小,其强度则由系统沿光路方向移动的距离决定。当移动距离小于15 cm时,Dome效应较弱,不会对实验结果产生明显影响;在距离从15 cm增至55 cm的过程中,其强度不断增加,并在55 cm处达到最强,此后则不再随距离的增加而变化。在整个实验过程中,实验结果的相关系数始终在0.9以上,即Dome效应对大气相干长度的总体变化趋势没有明显影响。
