Magnetic properties of several potential rocksalt half-metallic ferromagnets based on the first-principles calculations

Several rocksalt Sr₄X₃N (X=,O, S, Se, and Te) are predicted to be potential half-metallic ferromagnets free of transition-metal and rare-earth elements by performing the first-principles calculations. Then their magnetic properties, such as the half metallicity and the crystal-cell magnetic moments are investigated. The Sr₄X₃N possibly have higher Curie temperatures and have more stable half metallicity than the Sr₄X₃C. Their crystal-cell magnetic moments are all 1.00 μ_B. The crystal-cell magnetic moments and the half metallicity arise mainly from the N ions. The main mechanism is the strong covalent interaction leading to the sp² hybridized orbitals in the Sr₄X₃N. Then two Sr-5s and three N-2p electrons enter into three sp² hybridized orbitals. Among these five electrons, four electrons are paired and one is unpaired, so there are three spin-up electrons and two spin-down electrons in these sp² hybridized orbitals.

Investigation of self-adaptive algebraic tomography for gas reconstruction in larger temperature range by multiple wavelengths absorption spectroscopy

We develop a self-adaptive algebraic tomography algorithm （SAATA） to investigate the simultaneons reconstruction of concentration and temperature distributions in larger temperature range from two views. The simplified optical arrangement with fewer projections is realized by extension of spectral information at multiple wavelengths, resulting in great potential in applications of practical combustion diagnosis. Tile results show SAATA can perform much better reconstructions in 300 3000 K temperature range than genetic simulated annealing algorithm and least-square orthogonal-triangular decomposition method with two- wavelength scheme. More phantoms are created to demonstrate the capability of SAATA to capture the peaks and adapt for both flat and sharp temperature distributions. Meanwhile, the advantage of high stability ensures better reconstruction performance at noise levels from 0.1% to 10% in projections.     

Optical sensing characteristics of the photonic crystal fiber filled with magnetic fluid

A novel photonic crystal fiber sensing theory filled with magnetic fluid is proposed based on the change of the MF refractive index under varied magnetic field. The magnetically induced tuning of the magnetic fluid filled PCF propagation properties were investigated by the full-vector finite element method with a perfectly matched layer. Theoretical calculations show that both the effective refractive index and the effective mode area increase vs. the increased magnetic field, and the PCF filled MF with larger d/Λ is more sensitive to magnetic field. When the wavelength λ = 1550 nm, the duty ratio d/Λ = 0.9, d/Λ = 0.6, the effective refractive indexes increase respectively from 1.598279 to 1.617572, from 1.61948 to 1.632484, and the effective mode areas increase respectively from 3.561115 μm² to 7.052360 μm², from 6.167494 μm² to 37.221998 μm² as the magnetic field changes from 25 Oe to 175 Oe. This scheme provides theoretical foundation to use magnetic field to control light in photonic crystal fiber and also offers a potential method for magnetic field sensing based on the TIR-PCF.

载能团簇离子诱发的非线性二次离子发射

载能团簇离子进入固体时, 由于集体相互作用,在入射路径上产生非常高的能量沉积密度。 实验发现, 载能团簇离子的作用结果并不等于团簇中各原子独立作用的总和, 而是具有非线性效应。 就二次离子发射而言, 这种非线性通常与团簇的能量、 团簇的大小、 离子的电荷态以及靶物质的结构有关。 通过研究二次离子发射有助于理解载能团簇离子与物质相互作用过程中的能量沉积与释放机制。 Using energetic cluster as projectile is a unique way to produce simultaneous impacts of several atoms and deposit extremely high energy density in a very small area. The cluster impingement on solids has exhibited some non linear effects not presented in collisions of individual atoms with those solids. The study of the secondary ion emissions can give insight into the energy deposition and relaxation steps of the cluster solid interaction. The dependence of the yields of secondary ion emission induced by clusters on the energy of clusters,cluster sizes,charge states and material structures of the targets was reviewed in this paper.     

Rovibrational spectrum of the Ne-N2O van der Waals complex in the 1285 cm region

The rovibrational spectrum of the Ne-N₂O van der Waals complex has been recorded in the symmetric stretching mode region of the N₂O monomer (∼1285 cm⁻¹) using a tunable diode laser spectrometer in conjunction with an astigmatic multi-pass cell and a pulsed supersonic slit jet. The spectra of both ²⁰Ne-N₂O and ²²Ne-N₂O isotopomers are assigned and analyzed using a Watson S-reduced asymmetric-rotor Hamiltonian. The rotational and centrifugal constants for the excited vibrational state are accurately determined. The band-origin of the spectrum is determined to be ν₀ = 1285.12251(18) cm⁻¹ for ²⁰Ne-N₂O and 1285.12363(27) cm⁻¹ for ²²Ne-N₂O, which shows a blue-shift of 0.21921 cm⁻¹ for ²⁰Ne-N₂O and 0.22033 cm⁻¹ for ²²Ne-N₂O from that of the N₂O monomer, respectively.     

Vortex-lattice melting in magnesium diboride in terms of the elastic theory

In the framework of elastic theory, we study the vortex-lattice melting transitions in magnesium diboride for magnetic fields both parallel and perpendicular to the anisotropy axis. Using the parameters from experiments, the vortex-lattice melting lines in the H-T diagram are located systematically by various groups of Lindemann numbers. It is observed that the theoretical result for the vortex melting with parallel and perpendicular fields agrees well with the experimental data. Therefore, it is suggested that the phenomenological elastic theory is universal to various type-II superconductors, including two- and multi-band superconductors.     

Universal fluctuations of the AEX index

We compute the analytic expression of the probability distributions F_AEX,+ and F_AEX,− of the normalized positive and negative AEX (Netherlands) index daily returns r(t). Furthermore, we define the α re-scaled AEX daily index positive returns r(t)^α and negative returns (−r(t))^α, which we call, after normalization, the α positive fluctuations and α negative fluctuations. We use the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistical test as a method to find the values of α that optimize the data collapse of the histogram of the α fluctuations with the Bramwell-Holdsworth-Pinton (BHP) probability density function. The optimal parameters that we found are α⁺=0.46 and α⁻=0.43. Since the BHP probability density function appears in several other dissimilar phenomena, our result reveals a universal feature of stock exchange markets.
