Modeling of the Temporally and Spatially Modulated Fourier Transform Imaging Spectrometer working in orbit

Temporally and Spatially Modulated Fourier Transform Imaging Spectrometer (TSMFTIS) is a new kind of imaging spectrometer and is applicable in remote sensing. Compared with Temporally Modulated Imaging Interferometer and Spatially Modulated Imaging Interferometer, it employs immovable parts and abandons slit. Based on the analysis of its physical theory, optical principle, data gathering and processing, the mathematical model of the TSMFTIS working in orbit is proposed in this paper. The model is comprised of different function blocks, such as fore-optics, interferometer and so on. For simulation, a big remote sensing image is utilized as ground scene, and a conversion which is similar to color mode conversion from RGB to Lab is made to produce artificial spectra of various ground objects. At last, a validation experiment is performed with real-world spectra of four pieces of colorful cloths by using a commercially available spectrometer.     

Finite-size effect and Kondo screening effect in an A-B ring with a quantum dot

The properties of the ground state of a closed dot－ring system with a magnetic flux in the Kondo regime are studied theoretically by means of a one-impurity Anderson Hamiltonian. The Hamiltonian is solved by means of the slave-boson mean-field theory. It is shown that at T=0, a suppressed Kondo effect exists in this system even when the mean level spacing of electrons in the ring is larger than the bulk Kondo temperature. The physical quantities depend sensitively on both the parity of the system and the size of the ring; the rich physical behaviour can be attributed to the coexistence of both the finite-size effect and the Kondo screening effect. It is also possible to detect the Kondo screening cloud by measuring the persistent current or the zero field impurity susceptibility χ_{imp} directly in future experiments.     

Ductile titanium alloy with low Poisson's ratio

We report a ductile beta-type titanium alloy with body-centered cubic (bcc) crystal structure having a low Poisson's ratio of 0.14. The almost identical ultralow bulk and shear moduli of approximately 24 GPa combined with an ultrahigh strength of approximately 0.9 GPa contribute to easy crystal distortion due to much-weakened chemical bonding of atoms in the crystal, leading to significant elastic softening in tension and elastic hardening in compression. The peculiar elastic and plastic deformation behaviors of the alloy are interpreted as a result of approaching the elastic limit of the bcc crystal under applied stress.     

Study of131Ba decay

Singles and coincidence spectra of gamma rays emitted in the decay of¹³¹Ba(11.8d) have been studied with improved statistics. The existence of the level at 1342.07 keV and gamma transitions at 82.58, 461.22, 562.87, 703.53, 1046.4, 1125.97, 1170.53, 1208.43 and 1342.02 keV have been confirmed. Thirteen previously unreported gamma rays at 390.1, 474.2, 506.1, 517.5, 533.7, 596.5, 657.6, 745.5, 757.0, 785.92, 840.9, 1037.0 and 1218.30 keV have been identified and seven new coincidence relations are reported. The level at 596.4 keV is proposed based on coincidence evidence and the level at 657.6 keV is tentatively proposed on the basis of energy differences. All the 62 gamma rays observed in this study have been placed into the decay scheme.     

Role of cross section on the stability and electronic structure of Ag-doped ZnO nanowires

Semiconductor nanowires (NWs) exhibit tunable physical properties intrinsically related to their reduced dimensionality, quantum size effect, morphology, and surface effects. By using density functional theory, we investigated the cross-sectional effect on the electronic structure of Ag-doped ZnO NWs. Three types of NWs have been considered: hexagonal cross-sectional ZnO NWs with zigzag and armchair surfaces, respectively, and triangular cross-sectional ZnO NW with zigzag surface. The results show that Ag prefers to substitute surface Zn atoms and induces typical p-type characteristic for all kinds of NWs. Moreover, single Ag doping could create a much shallower acceptor with a smaller hole effective mass in triangular ZnO NW than in the two hexagonal ZnO NWs. With the increase of Ag concentration, the p-type doping becomes much less effective overall. However, double Ag substituting in the zigzag surface of triangular ZnO NW improves the p-type properties, while substituting in the angle site seriously damage the p-type conduction. As the triangular ZnO NWs and prismatic ZnO nanoparticles have been synthesized recently, on the basis of our results, we expect that effective p-type could be achieved via incorporating Ag in triangular ZnO NWs experimentally.

Distinguishing between the interior pressures induced from two independent sources within a room using the probabilistic approach

In this paper, a probabilistic approach is introduced and used to distinguish between the interior pressures that are induced from two independent sound sources within a rectangular room. One source is a vibrating wall of the room and the other is an interior point source. The model is set up using the modal analysis method. In the probabilistic method, the probability densities of the uncertain acoustic model parameters are computed. The values of highest probability density are identified and assigned to the uncertain parameters in the acoustic model. The contributions of the sound sources to the total pressure are then obtained from the acoustic model input with the identified parameters. The effects of the modal truncations, the modeling errors, and the measurement locations on the accuracies of the identification process are studied.
