Two-mode vibration control of a beam using nonlinear synchronized switching damping based on the maximization of converted energy

In this paper, a new switch control strategy based on an energy threshold is proposed for the synchronized switch damping techniques in multimode control. This strategy is derived from the total converted energy of a synchronized switch damping (SSD) system in a given time window. Using the new strategy the voltage is inverted only at those extrema where the effective distance, which is proportional to the converted energy between two neighboring extrema, exceeds the threshold. The new switch control strategy is used in both the synchronized switch damping on inductor (SSDI) technique and the synchronized switch damping on voltage source (SSDV) technique, which are applied to the two-mode control of a composite beam. Their control performances are compared with those of the single-mode control and those of classical SSDI and SSDV techniques in two-mode control. The experimental results show that voltage inversion is prevented at some of the displacement extrema to increase the total converted energy, and exhibit better global damping effect than classical SSDI and classical SSDV, respectively. In single mode, the best control performance is achieved when the voltage is inverted at every extremum. But in multimodal control, the total converted energy in a given time window is increased and the control performance is improved when some extrema are skipped.     

Product measurements and fully symmetric measurements in qubit-pair tomography: A numerical study

State tomography on qubit pairs is routinely carried out by measuring the two qubits separately, while one expects a higher efficiency from tomography with highly symmetric joint measurements of both qubits. Our numerical study of simulated experiments does not support such expectations.     

Multilayer growth of BaTiO3 thin films via pulsed laser deposition: An energy-dependent kinetic Monte Carlo simulation

An energy-dependent kinetic Monte Carlo approach was proposed to simulate the multilayer growth of BaTiO₃ thin films via pulsed laser deposition, in which the four steps, such as the deposition of atoms, the diffusion of adatoms, the bonding of adatoms, and the surface migration of adatoms, were considered. Distinguishing with the traditional solid-on-solid (SOS) model, the adatom bonding and the overhanging of atoms, according to the perovskite structure, were specially adopted to describe the ferroelectric thin film growth. The activation energy was considered from the interactions between the ions, which were calculated by Born-Mayer-Huggins (BMH) potential. From the simulation the relative curves of the each layer coverage and roughness vs total coverage were obtained by varying the parameter values of the incident kinetic energy, laser repetition rate and mean deposition rate. The relationship between growth modes and the different parameters was also acquired.     

Element segregation on the surfaces of pure aluminum foils

The surface segregation trend of trace elements in pure aluminum foils was investigated by density functional theory. The model of nine-layer Al(1 0 0) slab substituted partially by trace element atoms was proposed for calculating surface segregation energy. The calculating results show that (i) B, Mg, Si, Ga, Ge, Y, In, Sn, Sb, Pb and Bi exhibit negative segregation energy and possibly move to the surface, while Be, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zr exhibit positive segregation energies and migrated into the bulk; (ii) the segregation energy was found to be related with the covalent radius, the relaxed position at the surface of the substituting atom and the surface energy; (iii) the segregation behavior of trace element generates lots of defects and dislocation, which can increase the initial pitting nucleation sites in the surface of aluminum foils; (iv) the impurity atom concentration was tested with Pb-doped surfaces, the calculated negative segregation energies in all coverage increases rapidly with the Pb coverage. These conclusions are helpful for designing of the chemical composition and to advance the tunnel etching of aluminum foils.     

The 60° or 180° twinned Bi-doped PbTe film studied by EBSD

The Bi-doped PbTe film was grown on Si(1 1 1) substrate by using hot wall epitaxy (HWE) technique. The film was characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy, micro-area X-ray diffraction and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The results indicate that the film is dominated by 〈1 1 1〉 orientation. The film consists of two twinned domains, rotated 60° or 180° around the normal to the film surface. It is speculated that the twinned PbTe film results from the deviated triangular grains. The ratio between the grains with two different orientations will decrease with the increase of the film thickness.     

Near-Curie magnetic anomaly at the Ni/C interface observed by electron holography

We analyze with electron holography carried out in a transmission electron microscope the near-Curie behavior of magnetism at the edge of a Nickel thin film coated with Carbon. In-situ experiments with finely controlled variations of the sample temperature reveal an anomaly in the ferromagnetic to paramagnetic phase transition when the film temperature is a few degrees above the nominal Curie point. We interpret the anomaly as a strain-induced spin reorientation transition triggered by the differential thermal expansion of Carbon and Nickel. We present a model that quantitatively reproduces the main features of the observed signal. The model is developed in terms of an anisotropic, temperature dependent exchange coupling between the Nickel moments at the Carbon interface that favors their vertical alignment at low temperatures.     

Polarization phase-shifting Jamin shearing interferometer

The Jamin shearing interferometer is very useful in wavefront testing, especially for the low coherent light. Based on this interferometer, a polarization phase-shifting Jamin shearing interferometer is proposed to improve the performance. In the interferometer, two interference beams are linearly polarized and a polarization phase shifter is applied to realize the phase shifting. Different types of configurations of the interferometer are given. With phase-shifting interferograms, the precision of the interferometer can be improved. The interferometer is kept as an equal optical path system and its shearing amount remains changeable with simple structure and easy operation. In experiments, phase-shifting interferograms are obtained by rotating the analyzer. The usefulness of the interferometer is verified.     

High-spin yrast and yrare structures in 112In

Up to now, no experimental cross-section data exist for the ⁶⁷Zn (n,a \alpha) ⁶⁴Ni reaction in the MeV neutron energy region. In the present work, the cross-section of the ⁶⁷Zn (n,a \alpha) ⁶⁴Ni reaction was measured at E _n = 6.0 MeV. Experiments were performed at the Van de Graaff accelerator of Peking University, China. Fast neutrons were produced through the D (d, n) ³He reaction using a deuterium gas target. Absolute neutron flux was determined by a small ²³⁸U fission chamber and a BF₃ long counter was used as a neutron flux monitor. A twin gridded ionization chamber was employed as the a \alpha -particle detector and two back-to-back ⁶⁷Zn samples were used for a \alpha events measurement. Background was measured and subtracted from foreground. The measured cross-section of the ⁶⁷Zn (n,a \alpha) ⁶⁴Ni reaction was 7.3 (1±15%) mb at 6.0MeV. The present result was compared with existing evaluations and TALYS code calculations.     

Indium distribution and light emission in wurtzite InGaN alloys: Several-atom In-N clusters

Considering various In distributions, we investigate electronic structures and light emission of wurtzite In_xGa_1 − xN (0?x?1) alloys. We find In_xGa_1 − xN forms a random alloy, in which many several-atom In-N clusters and short In-N- chains can exist. Small In-N clusters, especially in-plane ones, strongly localize valence electrons and dominate light emission in Ga-rich In_xGa_1 − xN alloys, which is consistent with experiments.
