Through scanned coincidence counting, we probe the quantum image produced by parametric down-conversion with a pump-beam carrying orbital angular momentum. Nonlocal spatial correlations are manifested through splitting of the coincidence spot into two. 相似文献
This paper presents a very simple unstable resonator, made of a concave mirror (total reflector) and a bare plane–convex BK7 lens working as a convex coupling mirror, which is quite efficient for HyBrID copper laser. In addition to a good quality factor (M2=4.9), experimental results showed that it is possible to control the laser output power by introducing a variable aperture iris inside the cavity, close to the coupling lens, without spoiling beam quality. A rough theoretical model helped to explain these results as a combined effect of unstable resonator plus radial gain distribution. 相似文献
The evaluation of free carrier concentration based on Drude's theory can be performed by the use of optical transmittance in the range 800-2000 nm (near infrared) for Sb-doped SnO2 thin films. In this article, we estimate the free carrier concentration for these films, which are deposited via sol-gel dip-coating. At approximately 900 nm, there is a separation among transmittance curves of doped and undoped samples. The plasma resonance phenomena approach leads to free carrier concentration of about 5×1020 cm−3. The increase in the Sb concentration increases the film conductivity; however, the magnitude of measured resistivity is still very high. The only way to combine such a high free carrier concentration with a rather low conductivity is to have a very low mobility. It becomes possible when the crystallite dimensions are taken into account. We obtain grains with 5 nm of average size by estimating the grain size from X-ray diffraction data, and by using line broadening in the diffraction pattern. The low conductivity is due to very intense scattering at the grain boundary, which is created by the presence of a large amount of nanoscopic crystallites. Such a result is in accordance with X-ray photoemission spectroscopy data that pointed to Sb incorporation proportional to the free electron concentration, evaluated according to Drude's model. 相似文献
Unstable dimension variability is an extreme form of non-hyperbolic behavior in chaotic systems whose attractors have periodic orbits with a different number of unstable directions. We propose a new mechanism for the onset of unstable dimension variability based on an interior crisis, or a collision between a chaotic attractor and an unstable periodic orbit. We give a physical example by considering a high-dimensional dissipative physical system driven by impulsive periodic forcing. 相似文献

The aim of this paperis to propose and analyse a VNS algorithm to solve schedulingproblems with parallel machines and sequence-dependent setuptimes, which are of great importance on the industrial context.Three versions of a greedy randomized adaptive search procedurealgorithm are used to compare with the proposed VNS algorithmto highlight its advantages in terms of generality, qualityand speed for large instances. 相似文献
If X is a Banach space with a normalized unconditional Schauder basis (xn), we define whenever and obtain estimates for μX,(xn) when every continuous m-homogeneous polynomial from X into Y is absolutely (q,1) summing. Our results provide new information on coincidence situations between the space of absolutely summing m-homogeneous polynomials and the whole space of continuous m-homogeneous polynomials. In particular, when m=1, we obtain new contributions to the linear theory of absolutely summing operators. 相似文献
We prove that the adjoint of a continuous homogeneous polynomial $P$ between Banach spaces belongs to a given operator ideal $\mathcal I$ if and only if $P$ admits a factorization $P = u \circ Q$ where the adjoint of the linear operator $u$ belongs to $\mathcal I$. Several consequences of this factorization are obtained, for example we characterize the polynomials whose adjoints are absolutely $p$-summing. 相似文献
Falcipain-2 (FP-2) is a Plasmodium falciparum hemoglobinase widely targeted in the search for antimalarials. FP-2 can be allosterically modulated by various noncompetitive inhibitors that have been serendipitously identified. Moreover, the crystal structures of two inhibitors bound to an allosteric site, termed site 6, of the homolog enzyme human cathepsin K (hCatK) suggest that the equivalent region in FP-2 might play a similar role. Here, we conduct the rational identification of FP-2 inhibitors through virtual screenings (VS) of compounds into several pocket-like conformations of site 6, sampled during molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the free enzyme. Two noncompetitive inhibitors, ZINC03225317 and ZINC72290660, were confirmed using in vitro enzymatic assays and their poses into site 6 led to calculated binding free energies matching the experimental ones. Our results provide strong evidence about the allosteric inhibition of FP-2 through binding of small molecules to site 6, thus opening the way toward the discovery of new inhibitors against this enzyme.
