Photonic bandgap via nonlinear modulation assisted by spontaneously generated coherence

A four-level double-ladder atomic system with two upper states coupled to the excited state by a standing-wave trigger field is explored to generate photonic bandgap (PBG) structure. With the assistance of spontaneously generated coherence (SGC) from the two decay pathways, we can obtain single or double fully developed PBG when the trigger field is far away from resonance or resonant. While in the absence of SGC, the atomic medium becomes strong absorptive to the probe field, and therefore the resulting PBGs are severely malformed or even cannot be opened up. Numerical results show that the PBG structure is originated from the third-order cross Kerr nonlinear modulation between the probe and trigger fields. This mechanism differs from the recent schemes based on linear modulation.

长江中游地区战国青铜箭镞的锈蚀形态

利用扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、能谱仪（EDS）、显微硬度等分析测试技术从材料科学和物理学的角度对长江中游地区战国晚期占楚墓中出土地的青铜箭镞的锈蚀现象进行了较为全面的研究和分析．发现由于锈蚀程度不同,青铜箭镞的组织结构可分为完全矿化层、过渡层和心部原始材料等3个特征层,其中主要成分为氧化物的完全矿化层的结构最疏松,硬度最低;另外,由于埋藏环境的不同,不同地区的锈蚀分层又有差异．实验还对两种类型的开裂裂纹进行了分析,认为一种裂纹是由矿化层氧化物膨胀引起的剥离开裂,进一步发展形成所谓的“粉状锈”;另一种裂纹是当圆柱形箭镞杆膨胀时,矿化层的塑性差,抗变形能力低而产生的开裂．     

Polarization in D-shaped fiber modulated by magneto-optical dichroism of magnetic fluid

The polarization of a D-shaped fiber is modulated after immersing it in magnetic fluid(MF)and applying a magnetic field.Theoretical analysis predicts that magneto-optical dichroism of MF plays a key role in light polarization modulation.During light polarization modulation,the evanescent wave polarized parallel to the magnetic field has greater loss than its orthogonal component.Light polarization of a D-shaped fiber with a wide polished surface can be modulated easily.High concentration MF and a large magnetic field all have great ability to modulate light polarization.

针对新兴的能谱核素识别方法在混合放射性核素的噪声环境中存在识别速度慢、准确率较低等问题,提出了基于长短时记忆神经网络（LSTM）的能谱核素识别方法。实验使用溴化镧（LaBr₃）晶体探测器,分别对环境中⁶⁰Co、¹³⁷Cs放射性源分组测量得到能谱数据集,首先使用数据平滑方法和归一化方法进行数据预处理,然后将能谱数据按时间序列分组以获得可用的输入序列数组,最后训练LSTM模型得到预测结果。通过基于BP神经网络和卷积神经网络（CNN）的两个能谱识别模型进行对比,得到在测试集中平均识别率分别为83.45%和86.21%,而LSTM能谱识别模型平均识别率为93.04%,实验结果表明,该能谱模型在核素识别效果中表现较好,可用于快速的能谱核素识别设备上。     

Boundary layer solutions for some nonlinear elastic membrane problems

Summary The method of matched asymptotic expansions is used to describe finite axisymmetric deformations of two thin elastic membrane problems: a circular membrane with a small radial traction at the edge, an annular membrane with a small circular hole at the center. In both problems, the surface load is assumed to be an axial pressure. There is a boundary layer at the outer edge in the first problem, and at the hole in the second problem.

Zusammenfassung Mit Hilfe der in der singulären Störungsrechnung benutzten Methode einer inneren und äußeren asymptotischen Entwicklung werden endliche, axialsymmetrische Deformationen bei zwei Membranproblemen beschrieben: eine dünne elastische Kreismembran mit kleiner radialer Zugspannung am Rande, und eine Kreisringmembran mit einem kleinen konzentrischen Loch. In beiden Problemen wird die Belastung als ein axial gerichteter Oberflächendruck angenommen. Im ersten Problem zeigt die Lösung am äußeren Rand Grenzschichtverhalten, welches im zweiten Problem am Lochrand vorliegt.

     

Raman probe studies of Nd: YAlG laser generated non-equilibrium excitations in GaAs

A survey is presented of the non-equilibrium excitations in GaAs that can be probed by Raman scattering. Intense Q-switched Nd:YAlG laser pulses are used both for generating the non-equilibrium excitations at low temperature, and for in-situ Raman scattering probe measurements. Particular emphasis is placed on the search for non-equilibrium, zone-edge slow TA phonons. We discovered that the difference frequency combination spectrum involving slow TA phonons is surprisingly coincident with the acceptor excitation line spectrum for the Zn impurity. The discrimination between the non-equilibrium phonon population and a non-equilibrium hole population on minority acceptors in n-GaAs is discussed.     

Nonlinear stability of circular vortex patches

This paper proves that circular vortex patches in the plane are stable for the nonlinear dynamical system generated by the Euler equations of incompressible fluids. This is achieved by establishing a relative variational principle in terms of either energy or angular momentum. Thus, we exploit and extend Arnold's idea in (1965, 1969) to a nonsmooth setting as well.Research partially supported by DOE contract DE-AT03-82ER12097 to the University of California, Berkeley     

Synthesis of spherical LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 cathode materials for Li-ion batteries

Spherical LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ was successfully prepared by controlled crystallization. The preparation started with the spherical coprecipitate of Ni_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3CO₃ from NiSO₄, CoSO₄, MnSO₄, NH₄HCO₃, and NH₃·H₂O, followed by pyrolysis of Ni_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3CO₃ at 600°C for 3 h. The X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the homogeneous cubic (Ni_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3)₃O₄ was obtained after the pyrolysis. Spherical LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ was obtained by sintering of the mixture of as-obtained (Ni_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3)₃O₄ and LiOH·H₂O at 900°C for 6 h in air. As-prepared spherical LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ presented initial discharge capacity of 162.9 mA h g⁻¹ and capacity retention of 98% at 50th cycle.
