Characterization of gadolinium oxide film by pulse laser deposition

In this work, Gd-oxide dielectric films were deposited on Si by pulse laser deposition method (PLD), moreover, the micro-structures and electrical properties were reported. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated that Gd-oxide was polycrystalline Gd₂O₃ structure, and no Gd metal phase was detected. In addition, both interface at Si and Ni fully silicide (FUSI) gate were smooth without the formation of Si-oxide. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the formation of Gd₂O₃ and gave an atom ratio of 1:1 for Gd:O, indicating O vacancies existed in Gd₂O₃ polycrystal matrix even at O₂ partial pressure of 20 mTorr. Electrical measurements indicated that the dielectric constant of Gd-oxide film was 6 and the leakage current was 0.1 A/cm² at gate bias of 1 V.     

Some results on controllability of a nonlinear degenerate parabolic system by bilinear control

In this paper, we discuss the controllability of a nonlinear degenerate parabolic system with bilinear control. Based on the shrinking property of the solutions, we prove that the system is not globally approximately controllable. Furthermore, we give an approximate null controllability result. We also prove that the system is not globally exactly null controllable by a comparison principle.     

Positive solutions and eigenvalue regions of two-delay singular systems with a twin parameter

The paper is concerned with a two-delay singular differential system with a twin parameter. Applying fixed-point index theory, we show the relationship between the asymptotic behaviors of nonlinearities (at zero and infinity) and the open regions (eigenvalue regions) of parameters, which are correlated with delays, such that the system has zero, one and two positive solution(s).     

High-power 1.5 and 3.4 μm intracavity KTA OPO driven by a diode-pumped Q-switched Nd:YAG laser

With a non-critically phase-matched KTA crystal, a high-power intracavity optical parametric oscillator (IOPO) driven by a diode-side-pumped acousto-optically Q-switched Nd:YAG laser has been realized. The maximum average output power of 13.6 W at the signal wavelength of 1534 nm and 3 W at the idler wavelength of 3472.7 nm were obtained with the repetition rate of 18 kHz, giving the optical-optical conversion efficiency of about 5.7% from diode-power at 808 nm to OPO signal output, which was the highest conversion efficiency for intracavity KTA OPO with diode-side-pumping configurations to our best knowledge. At the highest output power of 13.6 W, the signal pulse duration of 5.46 ns was obtained, corresponding to the single pulse energy of 756 μJ and peak power of 138 kW, respectively.     

Optimized temperature measurement with time-of-flight method

Driven by resonance probe light background Rubidium gas can emit fluorescence, which interacts with the falling atomic cloud in the temperature measurement with the time-of-flight (TOF) method and influence the experimental results. The dependencies of the acceleration and the temperature of the atomic cloud on the detuning of the probe beams were studied. We propose that the deviation of the acceleration from the gravity acceleration can be taken as a criterion of the accuracy of the temperature measurement using TOF method. Moreover, using the principle of the radiation force on the cold atomic cloud, one may measure the considerably weak intensity of the fluorescence.     

Fixed-Point Iterations for Asymptotically Nonexpansive Mappings in Banach Spaces

In this paper, we suggest and analyze a three-step iterative scheme for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces. The new iterative scheme includes Ishikawa-type and Mann-type interations as special cases. The results obtained in this paper represent an extension as well as refinement of previous known results.     

预应力对熔石英损伤的影响

采用ANSYS进行形变-应力模拟。对不同应力状态下的熔石英表面进行三倍频激光损伤测试,结果发现,预加压应力为0~50 MPa时损伤阈值有明显提高的趋势,用应力耦合作用对此给出了解释：0~50 MPa的预加压应力可以降低和抵消激光辐照产生的张应力破坏,大于50 MPa预应力的耦合作用会使得该处机械性能下降,另外,损伤增长在预应力存在时更容易发生。因此,0~50 MPa预加压应力时的表面预应力可以提高熔石英的抗激光辐照能力。     

润滑油对基于制冷循环的喷雾冷却系统性能的影响

针对高功率固体激光器的散热需求,设计了一种基于制冷循环的喷雾冷却系统,并对其换热性能进行研究。由于制冷系统的压缩机需要润滑,冷却液中不可避免地会混有润滑油。润滑油会对冷却液的粘度、表面张力产生影响,并可能产生油膜,从而对冷却液的换热过程产生强化或抑制。因此,通过实验研究,分析了润滑油对喷雾冷却换热性能的影响。实验结果表明,冷却液中存在润滑油,会增大冷却液流经喷嘴过程中的阻力,减小流量,但根据本系统的应用情况,可以忽略;在低热流密度时,含有一定量的润滑油更有利于热源表面温度的均匀分布,高热流密度时,2%(质量分数)的含油量对温度分布不均的影响可以忽略;润滑油的存在可以提高临界热流密度,使得系统的散热能力得到提高,更有利于其在高功率固体激光器散热领域的应用。
