Microwave absorption properties of composite powders with low density

The composites of barium ferrite coated on hollow ceramic microspheres were prepared using sol-gel technique. The crystal structure, morphology and microwave absorption properties of composite powders with different weight ratio of microspheres were studied with XRD, EDS, FESEM and vector network analyzer. The results show that the microwave absorption properties of composite powders are greatly improved. The maximum microwave loss of composite powders reaches 31 dB with an amount of 50 wt.% microspheres, and its density is only about 1.80 g/cm³. The effect of hollow ceramic microspheres on the microwave absorption property is also discussed.     

Interfaces between Al2O3 and beta-Ni(1-x)Al(x) alloys: complex structures and Ab initio thermodynamics

A methodology to study the structural stability of binary alloy/Al2O3 interfaces is developed by expanding the conventional ab initio thermodynamics to include the dependence on alloy composition. Results on beta-Ni(1-x)Al(x)/Al2O3 interfaces predict the existence of two types of stable interfaces. The stable interface at equilibrium with Al-rich or strictly 1:1 alloy contains an Al2-terminated Al2O3 surface and continues with NiAl layers, and the interface at equilibrium with Ni-rich alloy has Al accumulation but continues with a Ni-rich and then NiAl layers. Works of separation for the two interfaces are close to each other.     

Structural and magnetic properties of RF sputtered FePt/Fe multilayers

Series of [FePt(4min)/Fe(t_Fe)]₁₀ multilayers have been prepared by RF magnetron sputtering and post-annealing in order to optimize their magnetic properties by structural designs. The structure, surface morphology, composition and magnetic properties of the deposited films have been characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Rutherford backscattering (RBS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope (EDX) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). It is found that after annealing at temperatures above 500 °C, FePt phase undergoes a phase transition from disordered FCC to ordered FCT structure, and becomes a hard magnetic phase. X-ray diffraction studies on the series of [FePt/Fe]_n multilayer with varying Fe layer thickness annealed at 500 and 600 °C show that lattice constants change with Fe layer thickness and annealing temperature. Both lattice constants a and c are smaller than those of standard ones, and lattice constant a decreases as Fe layer deposition time increases. Only a slight increase in grain size was observed as Fe layer decreased in samples annealed at 500 °C. However, the increase in grain size is large in samples annealed at 600 °C. The coercivities of [FePt/Fe]_n multilayers decrease with Fe layer deposition time, and the energy product (BH)_max reaches a maximum in the samples with Fe layer deposition time of 3 min. Comparison of magnetic properties with structure showed an almost linear relationship between the lattice constant a and the coercivities of the FePt phase.     

Preference orientation and magnetic properties of CoxFe3−xO4 nanocrystalline thin films on quartz substrate

Nanocrystalline spinel ferrite thin films of Co_xFe_3−xO₄ (x=0.3$x=0.3$, 0.5, 0.8, and 1.0) have been prepared by RF sputtering on quartz substrate without a buffer layer at room temperature and annealed at the temperature range from 200 to 600 °C in air. The as-sputtered films exhibit the preferred orientation and the high magnetization and coercivity. After annealing, the preferred orientations become poor, but the magnetization and coercivity increase. The sample with a magnetization of 455 emu/cm³, a coercivity of 2.8 kOe, a remanence ratio of 0.72, and a maximum energy product of 2.4 MGOe has been obtained. The influence of Co ions and annealing temperature on the magnetic properties has been discussed.

Implementation of nonlocal quantum swap operation on two entangled pairs

We propose a scheme for the implementation of nonlocal quantum swap operation on two spatially separated entangled pairs and we show that the operation can swap two qubits of these entangled pairs.We discuss the resources of the entangled qubits and classical communication bits required for the optimal implementation of the nonlocal quantum swap operation.We also put forward a scheme for probabilistic implementation of nonlocal swap operation via a nonmaximally entangled quantum channel.The probability of a successful nonlocal swap operation is obtained by introducing a collective unitary transformation.     

Single-mode rib polymer waveguides and electro-optic polymer waveguide switches

Mode-matching and effective index methods are used to analyze single-mode operation of optical rib polymer waveguides. Their single-mode waveguiding conditions are determined. Single-mode rib waveguides fabricated from guest–host polyetherketone are presented. The estimated propagation loss of straight rib-waveguides is 0.7 dB/cm at 1.55 μm. Furthermore, by using the mode field-transfer matrix method, 2×2 and 4×4 polymer Mach–Zehnder interference switch operating at 1.55 μm wavelength has been designed based on optical multi-mode interference.
