Goos–Hänchen shifts of a light beam reflected from the interface of colloidal ferrofluids

Controllable Goos–Hänchen shift of a light beam reflected from the colloidal ferrofluids is investigated by using the stationary-phase method. It is found that the Goos–Hänchen shift can be easily controlled by the local H_e factor and the volume factor. Using this scheme, the peak value, the peak position and the width of the Goos–Hänchen shift can all be controlled by adjusting the external magnetic field for a fixed configuration, which also provides a possibility for obtaining larger negative Goos–Hänchen shift by changing the external controlling field. Our results have potential applications in optical devices.     

Study on an optical system with coherent laser array source and phase optimization in turbulent atmosphere

Model of an optical system with coherent laser array source and the piston phase optimized by the stochastic parallel gradient descent algorithm is established. With this model, theory of beam propagation through the optical system in turbulent atmosphere is analyzed, and the analytical formulas of the beam average intensity along the propagation path are derived. Strehl ratio of the received beam induced by intensity disorderly distribution and power efficiency of the received beam are introduced to evaluate performance of the optical system. Under the H-V 5/7 atmospheric turbulent model, performance of an optical system with determinate parameters was calculated, and the influences of the propagation distance and the laser wavelength were numerically analyzed, respectively.     

Effect of emitter layer doping concentration on the performance of silicon thin film heterojunction solar cell

A novel type of n/i/i/p heterojunction solar cell with a-Si:H(15 nm)/a-Si:H(10 nm)/ epitaxial c-Si(47 μm)/epitaxial c-Si(3 μm) structure is fabricated by using the layer transfer technique, and the emitter layer is deposited by hot-wire chemical vapour deposition. The effect of the doping concentration of emitter layer S_d (S_d=PH₃/(PH₃+SiH₄+H₂)) on the performance of the solar cell is studied by means of current density-voltage and external quantum efficiency. The results show that the conversion efficiency of the solar cell first increases to a maximum value and then decreases with S_d increasing from 0.1% to 0.4%. The best performance of the solar cell is obtained at S_d = 0.2% with an open circuit voltage of 534 mV, a short circuit current density of 23.35 mA/cm², a fill factor of 63.3%, and a conversion efficiency of 7.9%.

Modelling the spreading rate of controlled communicable epidemics through an entropy-based thermodynamic model

A model based on a thermodynamic approach is proposed for predicting the dynamics of communicable epidemics assumed to be governed by controlling eforts of multiple scales so that an entropy is associated with the system.All the epidemic details are factored into a single and time-dependent coefcient,the functional form of this coefcient is found through four constraints,including notably the existence of an inflexion point and a maximum.The model is solved to give a log-normal distribution for the spread rate,for which a Shannon entropy can be defined.The only parameter,that characterizes the width of the distribution function,is uniquely determined through maximizing the rate of entropy production.This entropy-based thermodynamic(EBT)model predicts the number of hospitalized cases with a reasonable accuracy for SARS in the year 2003.This EBT model can be of use for potential epidemics such as avian influenza and H7N9 in China.     

准周期激励与应变超晶格的动力学稳定性

假设超晶格锯齿形沟道对粒子的作用等效为形状相似的周期场作用. 在经典力学框架内,引入正弦平方势,把粒子运动方程化为具有阻尼项和双频激励项的摆方程. 用Melnikov方法对单频激励系统的分叉与混沌进行分析;用Lyapunov方法对双频激励系统的稳定性进行讨论. 结果表明：在弱非线性情况下,双频激励系统存在局域不稳定,且这种不稳定将向全局扩展,直至混沌的出现;导致混沌的双频激励强度远小于单频激励强度;外加一个适当的超声场可望将这种敏感钝化,使系统的稳定性得到改善. 关键词： 超晶格 准周期激励 混沌 稳定性

Reanalysis of the photoassociation spectrum of 133Cs2 （6P3/2） lg state

Reanalysis of the photoassociation spectrum of the weakly binding （6S1/2 ＋ 6P3/2） lg 133Cs2 levels, reported in the previous study [J. Mol. Spectro. 255 （2009） 106], is performed by using a Lu-Fano graph coupled to the improved LeRoy- Bernstein formula including two additional modified terms. A more accurate coefficient （c3） is obtained for the leading long-range potential （-c3/R3） of a diatomic molecule.     

Ecological optimization for an irreversible magnetic Ericsson refrigeration cycle

An irreversible Ericsson refrigeration cycle model is established, in which multi-irreversibilities such as finite-rate heat transfer, regenerative loss, heat leakage, and the efficiency of the regenerator are taken into account. Expressions for several important performance parameters, such as the cooling rate, coefficient of performance （COP）, power input, exergy output rate, entropy generation rate, and ecological function are derived. The influences of the heat leakage and the time of the regenerative processes on the ecological performance of the refrigerator are analyzed. The optimal regions of the ecological function, cooling rate, and COP are determined and evaluated. Furthermore, some important parameter relations of the refrigerator are revealed and discussed in detail. The results obtained here have general significance and will be helpful in gaining a deep understanding of the magnetic Ericsson refrigeration cycle.     

Field-induced insulator-metal-insulator transitions in low-energy H2- ion-irradiated epitaxial La2/3Cal/3MnO3 thin films

Epitaxial La2/3Cal/3MnO3 thin films grown on LaA103 （001） substrates were irradiated with low-energy 120-keV H＋ ions over doses ranging from 1012 ions/cm2 to 1017 ions/cm2. The irradiation suppresses the intrinsic insulator-metal （I-M） transition temperature and increases the resistance by reducing the crystallographic symmetry of the films. No irradiation-induced columnar defects were observed in any of the samples. The specific film irradiated at a critical dose around 8 x 1015 ions/cm2 is in a threshold state of the electric insulator where the I-M transition is absent. In an external field of 4 T or higher, the I-M transition is restored and thus an enormous magnetoresistance is observed, while a negative temperature coefficient resumes as the temperature is reduced further. Magnetic relaxation behavior is confirmed in this and other heavily irradiated samples. The results are interpreted in terms of the displacement of oxygen atoms provoked by ion irradiation and the resulting magnetic glassy state, which can be driven into a phase coexistence of metallic ferromagnetic droplets and the insulating glass matrix in a magnetic field.
