Polarization in D-shaped fiber modulated by magneto-optical dichroism of magnetic fluid

The polarization of a D-shaped fiber is modulated after immersing it in magnetic fluid(MF)and applying a magnetic field.Theoretical analysis predicts that magneto-optical dichroism of MF plays a key role in light polarization modulation.During light polarization modulation,the evanescent wave polarized parallel to the magnetic field has greater loss than its orthogonal component.Light polarization of a D-shaped fiber with a wide polished surface can be modulated easily.High concentration MF and a large magnetic field all have great ability to modulate light polarization.     

基于长短时记忆神经网络的能谱核素识别方法

针对新兴的能谱核素识别方法在混合放射性核素的噪声环境中存在识别速度慢、准确率较低等问题,提出了基于长短时记忆神经网络（LSTM）的能谱核素识别方法。实验使用溴化镧（LaBr₃）晶体探测器,分别对环境中⁶⁰Co、¹³⁷Cs放射性源分组测量得到能谱数据集,首先使用数据平滑方法和归一化方法进行数据预处理,然后将能谱数据按时间序列分组以获得可用的输入序列数组,最后训练LSTM模型得到预测结果。通过基于BP神经网络和卷积神经网络（CNN）的两个能谱识别模型进行对比,得到在测试集中平均识别率分别为83.45%和86.21%,而LSTM能谱识别模型平均识别率为93.04%,实验结果表明,该能谱模型在核素识别效果中表现较好,可用于快速的能谱核素识别设备上。     

Boundary layer solutions for some nonlinear elastic membrane problems

Summary The method of matched asymptotic expansions is used to describe finite axisymmetric deformations of two thin elastic membrane problems: a circular membrane with a small radial traction at the edge, an annular membrane with a small circular hole at the center. In both problems, the surface load is assumed to be an axial pressure. There is a boundary layer at the outer edge in the first problem, and at the hole in the second problem.

Zusammenfassung Mit Hilfe der in der singulären Störungsrechnung benutzten Methode einer inneren und äußeren asymptotischen Entwicklung werden endliche, axialsymmetrische Deformationen bei zwei Membranproblemen beschrieben: eine dünne elastische Kreismembran mit kleiner radialer Zugspannung am Rande, und eine Kreisringmembran mit einem kleinen konzentrischen Loch. In beiden Problemen wird die Belastung als ein axial gerichteter Oberflächendruck angenommen. Im ersten Problem zeigt die Lösung am äußeren Rand Grenzschichtverhalten, welches im zweiten Problem am Lochrand vorliegt.

     

Raman probe studies of Nd: YAlG laser generated non-equilibrium excitations in GaAs

A survey is presented of the non-equilibrium excitations in GaAs that can be probed by Raman scattering. Intense Q-switched Nd:YAlG laser pulses are used both for generating the non-equilibrium excitations at low temperature, and for in-situ Raman scattering probe measurements. Particular emphasis is placed on the search for non-equilibrium, zone-edge slow TA phonons. We discovered that the difference frequency combination spectrum involving slow TA phonons is surprisingly coincident with the acceptor excitation line spectrum for the Zn impurity. The discrimination between the non-equilibrium phonon population and a non-equilibrium hole population on minority acceptors in n-GaAs is discussed.     

Nonlinear stability of circular vortex patches

This paper proves that circular vortex patches in the plane are stable for the nonlinear dynamical system generated by the Euler equations of incompressible fluids. This is achieved by establishing a relative variational principle in terms of either energy or angular momentum. Thus, we exploit and extend Arnold's idea in (1965, 1969) to a nonsmooth setting as well.Research partially supported by DOE contract DE-AT03-82ER12097 to the University of California, Berkeley     

Synthesis of spherical LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 cathode materials for Li-ion batteries

Spherical LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ was successfully prepared by controlled crystallization. The preparation started with the spherical coprecipitate of Ni_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3CO₃ from NiSO₄, CoSO₄, MnSO₄, NH₄HCO₃, and NH₃·H₂O, followed by pyrolysis of Ni_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3CO₃ at 600°C for 3 h. The X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the homogeneous cubic (Ni_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3)₃O₄ was obtained after the pyrolysis. Spherical LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ was obtained by sintering of the mixture of as-obtained (Ni_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3)₃O₄ and LiOH·H₂O at 900°C for 6 h in air. As-prepared spherical LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ presented initial discharge capacity of 162.9 mA h g⁻¹ and capacity retention of 98% at 50th cycle.     

The effect of glottal angle on intraglottal pressure

Intraglottal pressure distributions depend upon glottal shape, size, and diameter. This study reports the effects of varying glottal angle on intraglottal and transglottal pressures using a three-dimensional Plexiglas model with a glottis having nine symmetric glottal angles and a constant minimal glottal diameter of 0.06 cm. The empirical data were supported by computational results using FLUENT. The results suggested that (1) the greater the convergent glottal angle, the greater outward driving forces (higher intraglottal pressures) on the vocal folds; (2) flow resistance was greatest for the uniform glottis, and least for the 10 degrees divergent glottis; (3) the greatest negative pressure in the glottis and therefore the greatest pressure recovery for diverging glottal shapes occurred for an angle of 10 degrees; (4) the smaller the convergent angle, the greater the flow resistance; (5) FLUENT was highly accurate in predicting the empirical pressures of this model; (6) flow separation locations (given by FLUENT) for the divergent glottis moved upstream for larger flows and larger glottal angles. The results suggest that phonatory efficiency related to aerodynamics may be enhanced with vocal fold oscillations that include large convergent angles during glottal opening and small (5 degrees - 10 degrees) divergent angles during glottal closing.     

宽绝对禁带的一维磁性光子晶体结构

提出了一种具有宽绝对禁带的一维磁性光子晶体结构,该结构由相同的折射率和物理厚度以及不同的波阻抗的两种磁性材料交替组合而成.通过传输矩阵法分析可得,相比于非磁性光子晶体,该光子晶体的禁带对入射角和偏振都不敏感,从而具有更宽的绝对禁带.合适地调节两种磁性材料的参数,增加两者波阻抗的差值,该光子晶体的绝对禁带宽度也相应地增加;调节两种磁性材料的物理厚度,其绝对禁带中心也会随之调整;最后,将两个满足上述条件的一维磁性光子晶体组成异质结构,其第一禁带宽度与禁带中心之间的比值可达到1.41以上.     

自适应非凸稀疏正则化下自适应光学系统加性噪声的去除

自适应光学系统可以实时测量并校正波前信息,但是系统中大量的噪声严重影响了系统的探测精度.自适应光学系统中一般为加性噪声,本文提出一种全新的变分处理模型去除加性噪声,该模型采用自适应非凸正则项.非凸正则项在保持图像细节上较凸正则项具有更好的效果,能更好地保持点源目标的完整性.另外,根据不同区域的噪声水平自适应地构建正则化参数,使不同区域的像素点受到不同程度的噪声抑制,可以更好地保持目标的边缘细节.在算法实现上,为了解决非凸正则项收敛性较差的缺陷,采用分裂Bregman算法及增广拉格朗日对偶算法进行计算.实验及数值仿真结果都表明,该方法能够较好地去除系统中的加性噪声,且光斑信号保存得较为完整,处理后的质心探测精度及信噪比较高.
