Variational estimates of chiral order parameter in 1+1 dimensional lattice QCD

We discuss analytically the vacuum structure and chiral-symmetry breaking in 1+1 dimensional lattice QCD with naive and Wilson fermions, using a unitary transformation and the variational method developed recently. As an example, the chiral order parameter is evaluated systematically for any coupling constant and fermion mass by including the multilink-terms in the transformation. The expected scaling behavior is observed. Our results are consistent with the continuum predictions.

Preparation and characterization of a poled nanocrystal and polymer composite PbTiO3/PEKc film for electro-optic applications

Composite thin films of PbTiO₃ nanocrystals and high-transparency PEKc polymer for applications in electro-optical devices were prepared using the spin coating technique. The size of the PbTiO₃ nanocrystals was estimated to be 30–40 nm using a transmission electron microscope. The transmission technique, a simple method for measuring the electro-optic coefficients of poled composite polymer films was developed. The electro-optic coefficient γ₃₃ of poled PbTiO₃/PEKc composite polymer films was measured to be 18.34 pm  V^-1 at 633 nm under room temperature. The index at 633 nm and the dielectric constant at 100 kHz under room temperature were determined to be 1.65248 and 7.32, respectively. The figure of merit F₂=n⁷γ²/ε was estimated to be 1546, showing very good electro-optical properties.

Studies of ion energy and yield from argon clusters heated by intense femtosecond laser pulses

Using time-of-flight spectrometry, the interaction of intense femtosecond laser pulses with argon clusters has been studied by measuring the energy and yield of emitted ions. With two different supersonic nozzles, the dependence of average ion energy on cluster size in a large range of has been measured. The experimental results indicate that when the cluster size , the average ion energy Coulomb explosion is the dominant expansion mechanism. Beyond this size, the average ion energy gets saturated gradually, the clusters exhibit a mixed Coulomb-hydrodynamic expansion behavior. We also find that with the increasing gas backing pressure, there is a maximum ion yield, the ion yield decreases as the gas backing pressure is further increased.     

Quantum entanglement and chaos in kicked two-component Bose-Einstein condensates

We study two-component Bose-Einstein condensates that behave collectively as a spin system obeying the dynamics of a quantum kicked top. Depending on the nonlinear interaction between atoms in the classical limit, the kicked top exhibits both regular and chaotic dynamical behavior. The quantum entanglement is physically meaningful if the system is viewed as a bipartite system, where the subsystem is any one of the two modes. The dynamics of the entanglement between the two modes in this classical chaotic system has been investigated. The chaos leads to rapid rise and saturation of the quantum entanglement. Furthermore, the saturated values of the entanglement fall short of its maximum. The mean entanglement has been used to clearly display the close relation between quantum entanglement and underlying chaos.     

Design of interdigital transducers for crack detection in plates

Interdigital transducers (IDT) for non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of cracks in plates are designed based on an analytical model established previously. Key considerations include mode selectivity, excitation strength, collimation of wave and cost. The advantage of mode selectivity of IDT over PZT patch is presented both analytically and experimentally. Effects of parameters, namely finger spacing, width, length, number of fingers, and the size of IDT, on the excitation strength and mode selectivity are considered. This led to the design of a mobile double-sided IDT as an efficient device where excitation strength is strong and focused. The device was fabricated in-house using commercially available piezoelectric ceramics and used to develop a procedure for accurate identification of the direction and extent of cracks in plates. Three aluminum plates, one with a linear deep crack, another with a piecewise linear shallower crack and the third with a curved crack, were used to illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of both the proposed device and procedure for effective NDE.     

基于HVS的小波域信息隐藏方法

为了提高信息隐藏的不可感知性和鲁棒性,结合人眼视觉系统(HVS)的相关知识,提出了一种新的小波域信息隐藏算法。将载体图像的中等亮度区域设为不可用区域,不在该区域隐藏信息,同时选择在载体图像小波变换的高频系数细节子图隐藏信息,并优先选择在对角高频系数细节子图中隐藏。计算局部子块的方差值作为隐藏信息的嵌入系数,并通过计算高频子图的噪声敏感模型ωθ(i,j)决定隐藏信息的位置。充分考虑了人眼的各种视觉掩蔽效应,使得隐藏信息后的结果图像相比隐藏之前没有出现明显的降质。实验结果表明该方法能够有效提高信息隐藏的不可知性,达到了很好的隐藏效果,同时能够有效地抗击噪声、裁剪和压缩等攻击影响,具有很好的鲁棒性,在信息安全领域有较好的应用前景。
