Generation and Quantum Interference of Entangled Electron-Hole Pairs in a Hanbury Brown and Twiss Interferometer

The Hanbury Brown-Twiss interferometer is proposed to serve as a detector of the crossed Andreev reflection and to generate entangled electron-hole pairs. It is shown that the non-local electron and hole induced by the crossed Andreev reflection are entangled. Quantum interference of the entangled electron-hole pairs gives rise to a new measurable effect of the phase difference between two superconductors in the cross correlation. The present theoretical predictions can be experimentally realized within the present-day microelectronic technology.     

Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of Flexural Wave Propagating in a Periodic Pipe with Fluid-Filled Loading

Based on the Bragg scattering mechanism of phononic crystals （PCs）, a periodic composite material pipe with fluid loading is designed and studied. The band structure of the flexural wave in the periodic pipe is calculated with the transfer matrix （TM） method. A periodic piping experimental system is designed, and the vibration experiment is performed to validate the attenuation ability of the periodic pipe structure. Finally, a finite-element pipe model is constructed using the MSC-Actran software, and the calculated results match well with the vibration experiment. The errors between the theoretical calculation results and the vibration experimental results are analyzed.     

Condensation of Self-Driven Particles in Scale-Free Networks

A new simple model of self-driven particles in scale-free networks is introduced to understand the emergence of condensation in the natural world. In the model, at each time step, particles are driven to choose their next habitats according to the particle numbers at both the present habitats and neighbors. It is found that the hub effect results in the condensation. The present numerical results as well as the theoretical analysis of condensation transition show the criterion of condensation. Both simulations and theoretical analysis display that there are three phases for different hopping probabilities δ： non-condensation （δ〈δc）, partial condensation （δc≤ δ〈1）, and complete condensation （δ≥δc＇= 1）, and the mean occupation particle number at the stationary state is also obtained. Moreover, the noise effect on self-driven particles is studied, and it makes particle numbers at nodes tend towards being identical.     

High frequency characteristics of NiO/(FeCo/NiO)10 multilayers with exchange anisotropy

[NiO/Fe₆₅Co₃₅]₁₀ exchange-coupled multilayer films for high frequency applications are fabricated, and their static magnetic property and microwave permeability are studied systematically. Both exchange bias field and ferromagnetic resonance frequency of the multilayers increase with decreasing Fe₆₅Co₃₅ thickness, which means that the microwave properties such as permeability and FMR frequency can be controlled by changing Fe₆₅Co₃₅ thickness in the exchange-coupled films. Ferromagnetic resonance frequencies beyond 7 GHz of the films are measured and reported for the first time.

Single-mode low-loss optical fibers for long-wave infrared transmission

In this Letter, we report single-mode fibers made of chalcogenide glasses with low loss in the 5-12μm range. Glasses from the Ge-As-Te-Se system were optimized to prevent nucleation and to exhibit low density of charge carriers. Single-mode fibers were obtained through the rod-in-tube method by substituting 2% Te/Se between the core and cladding glasses. The resulting single-mode fibers had a core diameter of 30μm and exhibited losses of ~6 dB/m at 10.6μm, and as low as 3-4dB/m in the 6-10μm range.     

Mechanical properties of the plasma-enhanced magnetron sputtering Si-C-N coatings

The mechanical properties of plasma-enhanced magnetron sputtering Si-C-N hard coatings with various compositions are characterized. The effect of chemical composition on the microstructure and properties of coating is investigated. The results show that the microstructure and mechanical properties of Si-C-N coatings are very sensitive to chemical composition. The nanocrystalline/amorphous composite structure is beneficial to the coating's mechanical properties. It also reveals that Si-C-N coating with low Si and high C concentrations has the highest hardness (≥40 GPa) and the best wear property with dry friction coefficient about 0.2.
