Quantum Pattern Recognition with Probability of 100%

In recent years there has been an increasing focus on the quantum pattern recognition, especially quantum multi-pattern recognition in computer science. This paper presents a new quantum multi-pattern recognition method based on the improved Grover’s algorithm. This method not only details the process of quantum multi-pattern recognition using several unitary operators, but also introduces a new design scheme of initializing quantum state and quantum encoding on the pattern set. If the rate of the number of the recognized pattern on the total patterns is over 1/3, this new method can recognize multi-pattern simultaneously with the probability of 100%. Mathematic calculations and simulation results on the case show that the proposed method can accomplish multi-pattern recognition with the probability of 100%. However, the recognition probability of other pattern recognition methods is impossible to reach 1.     

Investigation of the interaction of evaporated aluminum with vapor deposited Teflon AF films via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

The interfacial bonding and mixing between evaporated aluminum and a vapor deposited Teflon AF (abbreviated to AF) film have been investigated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Graphite carbon (C–C), and aluminum carbide (Al–C), oxide (Al–O–C) and fluoride (Al–F) are formed when aluminum atoms are deposited on to the AF film. With increasing deposition of aluminum, the concentrations of these newly formed components increase gradually. Moreover, in situ annealing results in remarkable increases in the C–C, Al–C, Al–O–C and Al–F configurations and a decrease in metallic aluminum. No significant diffusion of aluminum into the AF film was observed during the annealing. The Al compounds form a layer at the Al/AF interface that acts as an adhesion promoter and diffusion barrier.

Influence of the stress on magnetoelectric effect in magnetostrictive-PZT bilayers

In this letter, we investigate the influence of the stress on magnetoelectric (ME) effect in a magnetostrictive-PZT bilayer. ME voltage coefficient α*_E = δE / δH, where δE is the induced electric field for an applied alternating current (ac) magnetic field δH, is obtained by solving the stress-related piezoelectric constitutive equation and the conventional magnetostrictive equation with appropriate boundary condition. Based on the free-energy density function of the PZT film in stress state, we get the stress-related piezoelectric charge coefficient ^p d*₃₁ and dielectric permittivity ^pε*₃₃. After taking the cobalt ferrite (CFO) as magnetostrictive phase, it is found that α*_E increases with decreasing 2-d compressive stress for CFO-PZT, which not only is qualitatively consistent with previous experimental measurements, but also provides a possible route to improve the ME effect.      

Plasma-induced spatiotemporal modulation of propagating femtosecond pulses

The dynamics of the femtosecond pulse propagation in a plasma channel is investigated by the pumpprobe longitudinal diffractometry and second harmonic generation frequency-resolved optical gating (SHGFROG) technique. The spatial characteristics, corresponding to the electronic density and the size of the channel, can be observed by the recorded ring pattern, and the spectral and temporal characteristics are recorded by the SHG-FROG traces. The spatiotemporal characteristics will help us to better understand the dynamics of the plasma induced by the femtosecond pulse and the femtosecond pulse propagating in the plasma channel.     

Scattering-induced changes in the temporal coherence length and the pulse duration of a partially coherent plane-wave pulse

The scattering of a partially coherent plane-wave pulse on a Gaussian-correlated, quasi-homogeneous random medium is investigated. The analytical expressions for the temporal coherence length and the pulse duration of the scattered field are derived. We demonstrate that the scattering-induced changes in the temporal coherence length and the pulse duration may be used to determine the correlation function of the scattering potential of the medium.     

High-j proton alignments in 101Pd

High-spin states in ¹⁰¹Pd have been investigated by means of in-beam γ-ray spectroscopic techniques via the ⁷⁶Ge(²⁸Si, 3n) reaction at beam energies of 85 and 95 MeV. The previously known d _5/2 and 1/2^?[550] bands were extended to higher spins, and the unfavored signature branch of the 1/2^?[550] band was built. The band crossings observed experimentally are explained by the alignment of g _9/2 protons. The band properties in ¹⁰¹Pd are compared with those in the neighboring nuclei and are discussed within the framework of the cranked shell model (CSM).     

Effect of sp-hybridized defects on the oscillatory behavior of carbon nanotube oscillators

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the oscillatory behaviors of carbon nanotube oscillators containing sp³-hybridized defects formed by hydrogen chemisorption. It is found that the presence of these defects significantly affects the kinetic and potential energies of the nanotube systems, which in turn affects their oscillation periods and frequencies. We have also studied the oscillatory characteristics of the oscillators containing sp³-hybridized Stone-Wales defects. Our results show that it is possible to control the motion of the inner nanotube by introducing sp³-hybridized defects on the outer nanotube, which provides a potential way to tune the oscillatory behavior of nanotube oscillators.     

Surface adhesion properties of graphene and graphene oxide studied by colloid-probe atomic force microscopy

Surface adhesion properties are important to various applications of graphene-based materials. Atomic force microscopy is powerful to study the adhesion properties of samples by measuring the forces on the colloidal sphere tip as it approaches and retracts from the surface. In this paper we have measured the adhesion force between the colloid probe and the surface of graphene (graphene oxide) nanosheet. The results revealed that the adhesion force on graphene and graphene oxide surface were 66.3 and 170.6 nN, respectively. It was found the adhesion force was mainly determined by the water meniscus, which was related to the surface contact angle of samples.     

Effect of hydrogen-doping on bonding properties of Ti3SiC2

Using the first principles method based on the density functional theory, we investigated the effect of hydrogen-doping on bonding properties of Ti₃SiC₂. The formation energies of hydrogen interstitials in three possible positions were calculated. The results show that hydrogen favors residing near the (0 0 1) Si plane. In these positions, hydrogen is hybridized most with 1s states of lattice atoms (Si and C), instead of Ti. The presence of hydrogen does not substantially influence the bonding nature of Ti₃SiC₂; chemical bonding is characterized by the hybridizations of Ti d-Si p and Ti d-C p states, and yields high strength. This is contrary to hydrogen-doping in transition metals, where the electron of hydrogen fills in the d bands of the metals and, as a consequence, decreases the cohesive strength of the lattice.
