非线性耗散对亚稳态系统量子衰变速率的影响

发展了一种快速傅里叶变换路径积分方法，研究非线性耗散系统的量子衰变速率，得到了Bounce轨道的作用量S_B，即衰变速率的指数因子.在系统与环境存在非线性耦合f(x)=tanh［λ(x-x_b)］的情形下，发现其对衰变速率具有抑制作用.指数因子随温度T的关系不再满足S_B=a［1-b(T/T_c)²］法则；与通常的线性耗散情形相比，跨越温度T_c回升，即系统更早地进入穿透区域. 关键词： 量子衰变 非线性耦合 路径积分 快速傅里叶变换

Dynamic control of retrieval contrast in a Λ-type atomic system

We propose an efficient scheme for optimizing the optical memory of a sequence of signal light pulses in a system of ultracold atoms in Λ configuration. The memory procedure consists of write-in, storage, and retrieval phases. By applying a weak microwave field in the storage stage, additional phase-dependent terms are included, and the contrast of the output signal pulses can be dynamically controlled (enhanced or suppressed) through manipulating the relative phase φ between optical and microwave fields. Our numerical analysis shows that the contrast is enhanced to the most extent when φ=1.5π. In addition, the contrast is in proportion to the Rabi frequency of the microwave field with a certain relative phase.

Novel coexistence of superconductivity with two distinct magnetic orders

The heavy fermion system exhibits properties that range from an incommensurate antiferromagnet for small to an exotic superconductor on the Ir-rich end of the phase diagram. At intermediate where antiferromagnetism coexists with superconductivity, two types of magnetic order are observed: the incommensurate one of and a new, commensurate antiferromagnetism that orders separately. The coexistence of -electron superconductivity with two distinct -electron magnetic orders is unique among unconventional superconductors, adding a new variety to the usual coexistence found in magnetic superconductors.     

Subpeaks in the Brillouin loss spectra of distributed fiber-optic sensors

Subpeaks in the Brillouin loss spectra of distributed fiber-optic sensors were observed for what is believed to be the first time and studied. We discovered that the Fourier spectrum of the pulsed signal and the off-resonance oscillation both contributed to subpeaks. The off-resonance oscillation at frequency /v - vB/ is the oscillation in the Brillouin time domain when beat frequency v of the two counterpropagating laser beams does not match local Brillouin frequency vB. This study is important in differentiating the subpeaks from actual strain-temperature peaks.     

Simple method to identify the spatial location better than the pulse length with high strain accuracy

The second-order partial derivative of the Stokes signal with respect to frequency and position shows a maximum or minimum at the boundary between two different strained sections. This idea is used to locate the boundary of different stress regions. Knowing the boundaries, we then fit the Brillouin spectrum at the middle between them to get the strain value. This allows a location accuracy of between 5 and 10 cm, which is shorter than the pulse length of 20 cm used in the experiment. The lowest detectable Brillouin frequency difference between two strain sections is 1.2 MHz.

Nanoscale Thermal Response in ZnO Varistors by Atomic Force Microscopy

We report the application of customer-built scanning thermal microscopy （SThM） based on a commercial atomic force microscope to investigate local thermal inhomogeneity of ZnO varistors. The so-called 3ω method, generally used for measuring macroscale thermal conductivity, is set up and integrated with an atomic force microscope to probe the nanoseale thermal property. Remarkably, thermal contrasts of ZnO varistors are firstly imaged by the SThM, indicating the uniform distribution of spinel phases at triple points. The frequency-dependent thermal signal of ZnO varistors is also studied to present quantitative evaluation of local thermal conductivity of the sample.
