An order-by-disorder process in the cyclic phase of spin-2 condensate with a weak magnetic field

We present in this paper a model study on the “order-by-disorder” process in the cyclic phase of spin-2 condensate, which forms a family of incommensurable, spiral degenerate ground states. On the basis of the ordering mechanism of entropic splitting, it is demonstrated that the energy corrections resulting from quantum fluctuations of disorder lift the accidental degeneracy of the cyclic configurations and thus lead to an eventual spiral order called the cyclic order. The order-by-disorder phenomenon is then realized even if the magnetic field exists. Finally, we show that our theoretic observations can be verified experimentally by direct detection of the cyclic order in the ⁸⁷Rb condensate of a spin-2 manifold with a weak magnetic field.     

Imbert–Fedorov shifts of a Gaussian beam reflected from uniaxially anisotropic chiral media

We study the Imbert–Fedorov (IF) shifts of a reflected Gaussian beam from uniaxially anisotropic chiral media (UACM), where the chirality appears only in one direction and the host medium is a uniaxial crystal or an electric plasma. The numerical results are presented for three kinds of UACM, respectively. It is found that the IF shifts are closely related to the propagation properties of the two eigenwaves in the UACM. In general, when either of the eigenwaves is totally reflected, the IF shifts can change abruptly near the critical angle. The cross-polarized reflection coefficient has a greater effect on the spatial IF (SIF) shift than on the angular IF (AIF) shift, and the sign of the AIF shift depends mainly on that of the difference between the co-polarized reflectivity. By designing artificially the electromagnetic parameters of the UACM, we can control the IF shifts and acquire their more abundant properties.     

Fluorinated Eu‐Doped SnO2 Nanostructures with Simultaneous Phase and Shape Control and Improved Photoluminescence

Fluorinated Eu‐doped SnO₂ nanostructures with tunable morphology (shuttle‐like and ring‐like) are prepared by a hydrothermal method, using NaF as the morphology controlling agent. X‐ray diffraction, field‐emission scanning electron microscopy, high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy are used to characterize their phase, shape, lattice structure, composition, and element distribution. The data suggest that Eu³⁺ ions are uniformly embedded into SnO₂ nanocrystallites either through substitution of Sn⁴⁺ ions or through formation of Eu‐F bonds, allowing for high‐level Eu³⁺ doping. Photoluminescence features such as transition intensity ratios and Stark splitting indicate diverse localization of Eu³⁺ ions in the SnO₂ nanoparticles, either in the crystalline lattice or in the grain boundaries. Due to formation of Eu‐F and Sn‐F bonds, the fluorinated surface of SnO₂ nanocrystallites efficiently inhibits the hydroxyl quenching effect, which accounts for their improved photoluminescence intensity.     

Femtosecond laser micromachined optical waveguides in LiTaO3 crystal

By using femtosecond laser micromachining, optical wave guides in both depressed cladding and dual‐line configurations have been produced in LiTaO₃ crystal. The guiding properties and the thermal stability have been investigated for both geometries, which exhibit different performance. Depressed cladding waveguides support guidance along both extraordinary and ordinary index polarizations, while dual‐line waveguides support only extraordinary index polarization. Thermal annealing has been proved to be an effective method to reduce the propagation losses. For the cladding waveguide, the lowest propagation loss was as low as 0.38 dB/cm after the annealing treatment at 400 °C. (© 2013 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

随机双指数记忆耗散系统的非马尔可夫扩散

针对具有双指数耗散记忆核函数的两自由度耦合系统, 本文利用Laplace变换导出了热宽带噪声激励下该系统响应二阶矩的解析表达式. 并观察到位移二阶矩不同于单自由度情形下的反常扩散:<x²(t)> ∝ t^α (0<α<2, α≠1), 而是随时间及噪声等参数变化呈现普遍的振荡扩散现象.分析可得, 阻尼耦合因子B使粒子远离简谐势场的束缚, <x²(t)>随B的增大扩散加剧而摩擦系数增大却使其趋于平稳状态.进一步, 若两热噪声互关联时, 较小的互关联时间对二阶矩的影响较大, 反之作用较小. 伴随互关联强度递增, 位移二阶矩的扩散加剧, 位移间的相关性加强, 与物理直观相符. 关键词： 热噪声 非马尔可夫扩散 广义朗之万方程 关联性
