The local field effects in resonance Raman scattering Structural anisotropy studies in some nematic cyanophenyl derivatives

Abstract

Different methods for the determination of the local field anisotropy in liquid crystals are analysed and the problems resulting from their application are outlined. One such method, namely that based on the comparison of the polarization of resonance Raman scattering and absorption bands is studied in more detail. The method is applied to determine the structural anisotropy for the 4-n-pentyl-(4′-cyanophenyl) derivatives of benzene, cyclohexane and bicyclooctane. To account for the difference between the optical properties of the probe and of the solvent at the wavelength of the scattered light the local field factor is treated theoretically within the framework of an anisotropic continuous dielectric medium.     

CPT symmetry in honeycomb lattices and quantum brachistochrone problem

In this paper, we have provided a matrix Hamiltonian model for honeycomb lattices and subsequently obtained the dispersion relation. Furthermore, we have constructed the C operator for the given non-Hermitian Hamiltonian model. The quadratic surfaces are sketched and the quantum Brachistochrone problem is discussed for the given honeycomb lattice model.     

Parameter determination from current–voltage characteristics of HgCdTe photodiodes in forward bias region

Current–voltage characteristics of HgCdTe photodiodes in the forward bias region have been modeled considering mechanisms including drift-diffusion current, recombination current, metal-semiconductor contact and constant series resistance. Moreover, a fitting method based on the genetic algorithm has been developed to obtain values of related physical parameters from the measured dynamic resistance–voltage curves. Fitting results of $n^+$ -on- $p$ planar devices with different cutoff wavelengths are presented to illustrate the model and method, which are available and promising in acquiring device parameter values and evaluating the electrode contact quality.     

Novel Quantum Virtual Private Network Scheme for PON via Quantum Secure Direct Communication

Two quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) protocols with quantum identification (QI) based on passive optical network (PON) architecture are proposed. One QSDC protocol can be implemented between two different optical network units just with simple configurations of PON by optical line terminal when they are in the same virtual private network after optical line terminal performing QI to the optical network units in the given PON architecture. The other QSDC protocol is also implemented between any two legitimated users in the virtual private network but with considerable reduction of workload of the optical line terminal. The security analysis shows that the proposed QSDC schemes with quantum identification are unconditionally secure and allow the legitimate users to exchange their secret information efficiently and to realize a quantum virtual private network in the PON networks ultimately.     

多维谱的简化探测

提出一种利用谱编辑的方法来简化二维谱的探测,使得一张二维谱可以被简化为N条一维谱(N等于二维谱中F1维上的谱线总数),从而达到缩短数据采集时间和减少数据贮存空间的目的。文中给出了运用此方法探测二维碳氢异核相关实验的实例,并分析了由于F1维的谱线不为δ函数而产生的编辑误差的大小,最后将此方法推广到三维的简化探测,即通过对N张二维谱的编辑获得三维谱的信息。     

Applying the finite-thickness model to designs of cylindrical microlenses with small -numbers

The finite-thickness model (FTM) is applied to the design of cylindrical microlenses based on the wave-front interference principle, rather than the existing zero-thickness model (ZTM). This design method is very simple in physics and highly efficient in computations. For cylindrical lenses with different f-numbers (from f/1.5 to f/0.6), the detailed designs by using both the FTM and the ZTM are carried out. To show the superiority of the FTM to the ZTM, we investigate the focal performance of all the designed lenses based on rigorous electromagnetic theory and the boundary element method. Numerical results reveal that the constructed cylindrical lenses by the FTM are witnessed to exhibit much better focusing performance than those by the ZTM, especially for the small f-numbers.     

Mesoporous material grafted with luminescent molecules for the design of selective metal ion chemosensor

Luminescent Schiff-base groups have been successfully grafted on the surface of mesoporous material MCM-48. The grafted Schiff-base groups were employed to prepare luminescent Schiff-base-Zn complex that was covalently bound to the MCM-48 surface. These luminescent mesoporous materials were characterized with X-ray, UV-VIS and emission spectroscopic methods. Experimental results demonstrated that MCM-48 modified with functional groups exhibited novel luminescent property. The chemosensing property of modified MCM-48 sample was investigated. It was demonstrated that the fluorescence of MCM-48 solid with Schiff-base groups could be completely quenched by Cu²⁺ cation and this mesoporous material was suitable for sensing Cu²⁺ cation in aqueous media.     

Determination of the cluster spectroscopic factor of the 10.3 MeV state in 12Be

From an inelastic excitation and breakup experiment with a ¹²Be beam at 29 MeV/u, a large ⁴He+⁸He cluster decay width of 1.1(2) MeV is determined for a state at an excitation energy of 10.3 MeV and with a spin parity of 0+. By using the R-matrix analysis, a cluster spectroscopic factor of 0.53(10) is extracted from the cluster partial width, providing a strong support for the clustering structure in ¹²Be. A specially designed zero-degree telescope played an essential role in the present experiment and has been demonstrated to be a promising tool in future studies of the molecular-like resonances near the cluster separation threshold.
